Chapter 197 A Sincere Apology to Dr. Du
Company Commander Ye's two requests seemed reasonable, but in reality they were very tricky.
No matter which option Dr. Wu chooses, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.
The first option is to make him humble himself before the soldiers, but the soldiers might not even give him face.
Moreover, if this precedent is set, others will not respect him in the future, so he must not choose this path.
The second option was to have him invite Du Ruoxia back, but he had looked down on her this morning and personally sent her away.
He was quite pleased with himself at the time, but now it would be quite difficult for him to bring the person back.
Du Ruoxia took half of the leftover food from lunch home.
She first filled two hot water bottles, then heated the food on the stove.
Du Ruoxia took off her outer clothes and trousers and crawled into the warm and cozy bed.
I've been busy treating patients lately, and I'm exhausted every day.
Du Ruoxia was completely unaware of the passage of time; it felt as if she had returned to the time when she was helping out in the emergency room.
The sun was out today, and it was warm in the blankets, so Du Ruoxia fell asleep quickly after lying down.
She slept soundly until there was a rapid knocking at the door.
Du Ruoxia felt languid all over; she nestled in the blankets, not wanting to move an inch.
Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't concern her at this moment.
Du Ruoxia just wanted to sleep, to keep sleeping.
Du Ruoxia felt very strange at this moment. She clearly heard the knocking on the door, but she just couldn't open her eyelids.
Finally, with a knock on the door, she fell asleep again.
Dr. Wu pushed the wheelchair, in which Liu Wang sat.
After much pleading and cajoling, Liu Wang stopped pretending to be dead and could only be pushed over by him.
Liu Wang stood at the door of Du Ruoxia's house with a complicated expression.
His eyes were swirling with emotion, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Through this period of time together, Liu Wang has gradually figured out Du Ruoxia's temperament.
She may seem gentle and harmless at first glance, but she is actually quite stubborn.
Du Ruoxia dislikes people who maliciously slander others behind their backs and those who judge people by their appearance.
Unfortunately, both he and Dr. Wu are this type of person.
Even among the other two doctors, one was in a more serious condition, while the other was in a better condition.
Dr. Wu offended Du Ruoxia at noon and had her driven away.
Just over two hours later, they shamelessly went to find the person again.
If the consequences of this incident hadn't been so severe, Liu Wang really wouldn't have been able to swallow his pride.
Dr. Wu, who was usually arrogant, almost cried this time and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Liu Wang only reluctantly agreed to come because he saw that Liu Wang's ideological awareness was acceptable.
However, he knew in his heart that even if he came, it would be useless.
Du Ruoxia's anger was not so easily dissipated.
Even if she said that she hadn't received a single penny during this period and that it was all unpaid work, then she still had to do it.
She did these things for temporary reasons, not because of Liu Wang or Dr. Wu.
They misunderstood the situation from the beginning, which led to the current consequences.
Dr. Wu's hands were almost swollen from knocking, but there was still no sound from inside the room.
Dr. Wu wasn't sure if anyone was in the house, but she was unwilling to give up.
He could only continue pounding on the door, his fists swelling up. The sound was loud enough that anyone inside would hear it.
There are only two possibilities if no one answers.
The first possibility is that Du Ruoxia left the army and went out, so no one was home.
The second possibility is that Du Ruoxia was indeed at home and knew who was knocking on the door, but she pretended not to know, actually not wanting to pay attention to them.
Liu Wang leans more towards the second possibility.
Because he saw with his own eyes that Du Ruoxia took a lunchbox with her when she left.
In any case, she must have taken the lunchbox back, so she must have gone home.
"Go ask the security guard if Dr. Du is home or not."
Dr. Wu was still banging on the door, but Liu Wang had already regained his composure and was speaking more logically.
Dr. Wu belatedly realized what was happening and quickly ran to the police station to inquire about the situation.
The guards concluded that Du Ruoxia did not leave after returning at noon.
Therefore, Dr. Wu confirmed that Du Ruoxia was indeed at home.
He approached Liu Wang with a dejected expression.
"I just asked the guard, and Du Ruoxia didn't leave after returning at noon, so she is indeed at home now."
"She clearly heard us knocking, so why won't she open the door?"
Dr. Wu scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.
"You're at home but refuse to open the door. You should think about why."
Liu Wang saw right through him with a single sentence, putting the matter out in the open.
Dr. Wu looked very unwell and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Maybe she just doesn't want to see me. That's just how women are; they're always so petty."
Dr. Wu said with slight dissatisfaction, and Liu Wang glared at him fiercely.
“Dr. Wu, if you still think this way, I advise you not to go see Dr. Du.”
“If you can solve this problem yourself, then you should find a way to solve it yourself. No matter what your stance is, you have no right to go to Dr. Du again.”
"Even if Dr. Du is really at home, no one can do anything to her if she doesn't want to come out now. Even if Commander Zhou and Staff Officer Yang come, they can only politely ask her to come out."
"Think about who you are? What right do you have to order her around? And what right do you have to speak ill of her behind her back?"
Liu Wang's words were very sharp, and Dr. Wu's face turned bright red.
He looked at Liu Wang in disbelief and questioned him in a hoarse voice.
"Liu Wang, you need to figure out who your colleagues of over ten years are, and who you should help in this situation?"
“You’ve only worked with Du Ruoxia for a little over ten days, yet you’ve completely sided with her. Have you considered my feelings when you did this?”
Dr. Wu wanted to continue speaking, but Liu Wang immediately interrupted him without hesitation.
“I warned you long ago that Dr. Du is young but very outstanding. During the time I was injured and you lost contact with me, she single-handedly took on the treatment of the entire unit.”
“Dr. Du is a very capable person. You’re asking her for a favor and you’re even slandering her at the door. What’s wrong with me giving you a few words of advice?”
"If you really have the ability, then clean up that mess yourself. If you don't, then put down your damn pride now."
"We've been colleagues for over ten years, I don't need to tell you what to do, right?"
Liu Wang's eyes widened, and his mustache stood on end; he was truly glaring and bristling.
Dr. Wu was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.
He was out of breath for a long time and couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
"Let me ask you one more time, what are you planning to do now? Apologize properly or go back and clean up the mess yourself?"
Liu Wang stared wide-eyed and asked with extreme ferocity.
Dr. Wu originally wanted to struggle, but Liu Wang was his last resort.
If he offends him without knowing his place, then he will truly be isolated and helpless.
Dr. Wu hesitated for a long time before finally letting out a heavy sigh.
"Don't go. This was my fault. I'm willing to sincerely apologize to Dr. Du. I just beg you not to be disappointed in me and to stand by my side for the sake of our years as colleagues."
