Chapter 26: A Clear Conscience

Good fortune is yet to come?

If she was really lucky, she wouldn't have been forced to travel through the book to the present time after experiencing a medical dispute. Just now, she was being pointed at and scolded.

She really didn't believe she had any blessings, and could only work hard to create a better life with her own hands.

"Thank you for your kind words. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Su Jinhui smiled and was about to leave when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm.

The old lady looked around mysteriously, and after confirming that no one was around, she reminded him, "What do you want from that Liu Miao? If it's not something urgent, I advise you not to go to her house, so as to avoid getting yourself involved in a scandal!"

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Su Jinhui smelled something unusual and simply sat down next to her and continued listening.

Anyway, we are almost at the other party's doorstep, so there is no need to rush. It is better to understand the situation clearly to avoid being caught in the dark later.

"Liu Miao has a strange disease. I heard that she vomited blood some time ago... Her husband wants to divorce her, but she refuses no matter what. She almost took medicine! Fortunately, she was discovered by the neighbors." The old lady shook her head, obviously feeling sorry for Liu Miao.

Su Jinhui's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the facts were exactly as she had guessed, except that her condition was far more serious than she had imagined.

I don’t know if it’s too late.

After all, the chances of recovery are not high in modern times, not to mention the backward medical conditions today...

She quickly asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, her husband didn't dare to mention divorce anymore, but he refused to spend money on her medical treatment. He also kept a mistress outside and flirted with Widow Wang at the east end of the village every day without any reservations!" The old lady spat fiercely, obviously looking down on the other party's behavior.

Su Jinhui never expected that Liu Miao's life was so hard, and she couldn't help feeling a dull pain in her heart.

The old lady continued to talk to herself, "Liu Miaoke is a good woman! Whether before or after her illness, she insisted on working every day to earn work points. She was always an advanced women representative. She worked efficiently outside and managed household affairs in an orderly manner. Who would have thought that she would fall ill at such a young age..."

When talking about deep feelings, the old lady couldn't help sighing.

I don’t know if she felt sorry for Liu Miao from the bottom of her heart or was just too lonely and wanted to talk to someone, but she talked incessantly, as if she was telling Su Jinhui all the big and small things about Liu Miao.

She was actually happy to know more about the patient. It wasn't that she was gossipy, but in case Liu Miao's husband really didn't want to treat Liu Miao, she could prepare a solution in advance.

After the old lady finished speaking, she changed the subject and asked, "Why are you looking for Liu Miao? Are you her relative?"

"I'm a doctor. She had a check-up in our hospital, so I came to see her." Su Jinhui deliberately concealed the misdiagnosis. On the one hand, she didn't want to ruin Luo Ping's reputation, and on the other hand, she was afraid of bringing adverse effects to the hospital.

"Doctor? You're already a doctor at such a young age?" The old lady looked at her in disbelief, then nodded approvingly. "Look, I thought your fortune was yet to come."

"My greatest blessing is meeting you and understanding Liu Miao's current situation. You have helped me a lot. Thank you very much." Su Jinhui's face was full of sincerity.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear, obviously very pleased with her words. "I'm old and useless! I'm grateful to be able to help you. You're a good person. If you run into her husband, you'd better stay away from him."

"Okay." Su Jinhui agreed and followed the directions to find Liu Miao's house.

The earthen wall was low, and the yard could be seen at a glance, but she was really unsure whether Liu Miao had gone out to work or not.

"Hello, is anyone home? Liu Miao, are you home?" Su Jinhui called out several times but didn't hear any response. She already had the answer in her mind.

Just as she was about to ask where the land in Nancheng Village was, she suddenly heard a voice, "Who are you?"

Liu Miao was not tall to begin with, and now her condition has worsened. She is so thin that she looks like she will fall to the ground if the wind blows.

She tied a ginger scarf on her head as she walked towards the door and opened it.

Looking closer, her face looked even more sallow and bloodless.

"I'm a doctor at the military base hospital. My name is Su Jinhui." She introduced herself straight to the point. "Are you going out?"

Liu Miao tilted her head, puzzled, "Yes, I was going to work and earn work points! My doctor at the time was called Luo Ping... What do you want to see me about?"

"I have checked your medical records and I think your illness may have been misdiagnosed." Su Jinhui said truthfully.

In any case, the parties involved have the minimum right to know, and she is not doing this for anything else, just for fairness.

"Misdiagnosis? My illness isn't gastritis, right?" Liu Miao chuckled, her tone as calm as if she were discussing what porridge to make online, without a trace of surprise. "I know my own body well. I've long guessed that my illness would get worse. I don't have much time left, so please don't worry about me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Miao had already walked out of the yard, closed the door, and prepared to lock it.

Su Jinhui tightly grasped her arm. "How will you know if you don't try? Don't you even want to help yourself?"

As a doctor, what I fear most is that patients have this mentality.

If a patient does not even have the most basic desire to survive, then such a patient is undoubtedly the most difficult to save.

"It can't be cured... I don't have the money to treat it." Liu Miao patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for the hospital. This is my fate. Alas, it's all my fate."

Close at hand, Su Jinhui clearly saw the sadness in her eyes. "Are you going to watch everything you have be handed over to others as a wedding dress? The more others look down on you, the more you must live well. You strive to be the best at work and be strong in everything, so why don't you give it a try on this matter?"

"I..." Liu Miao hesitated to speak, as if thinking about something.

Su Jinhui saw her hesitation and continued to persuade her, "I can help you with the money, but as a doctor, I don't want anyone to give up their life."

"How can that be possible..." Liu Miao waved her hands embarrassedly, wanting to refuse.

Su Jinhui's attitude was firm. "I am willing to pay this money, but if you feel bad about it, then just think of it as a loan from me. You can pay me back slowly after you recover. If I can't cure you, you don't have to pay me a penny. All I want is for you to receive treatment."

Since God let her discover the misdiagnosis, she was sent to save Liu Miao.

So no matter what the result is, she will do her best at this moment.

"Okay, then should I go to the hospital with you?" Liu Miao recalled her husband's disdainful look in her mind, and finally hardened her heart and prepared to give it a try. "If I go to the hospital, I have to ask for leave from the team first."
