They are only in their forties, have some assets, and their two children are already married with children.
A once happy family was devastated when the couple was in a car accident, suffering organ failure and other health problems overnight.
They found William and were determined to have him save the couple, no matter the cost.
When he saw the couple, he felt sorry for them. Their daughter was newly pregnant and their grandson was just one year old. They were kneeling on the ground, crying.
At that time, William's reputation was just beginning to take off, and he had never failed a patient.
He believed that there was no disease he couldn't cure, and that he could bring happiness to many families.
He went to great lengths to pull the couple back from the brink of death; they were just one step away from cardiac arrest and leaving this world forever, but William saved them completely.
They were all praising William, saying he was a highly skilled doctor. The patient's family knelt on the ground to thank him, crying uncontrollably. They were so moved and said they wanted to repay William.
As a doctor, William's duty is to save lives; he doesn't need to be thanked.
But things didn't go as he expected. Although he saved the couple, they became vegetative and remained unconscious.
At first, they thought it was good to be alive, as long as they could feel their heartbeats. However, being a person in a vegetative state is very expensive. Not only do they need to hire people to take care of them, but they also need to have good medical equipment. Their middle-class family was dragged down by these reasons, and the whole family lived a hard life.
A family that originally had nothing to worry about was brought down by the parents becoming vegetative, which is something no family would want to see.
No matter how much they had loved them or how much they had wanted them to be alive, at this moment, they wished they would die immediately. As long as the couple lived, they could not survive, and with their families to support, they were living such a hard life. From being grateful to William at the beginning, they began to resent him for saving them.
William suddenly understood that some destinies cannot be changed, and changing them is more terrifying than imagined. After a person dies, their loved ones will grieve briefly. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order, and one will eventually learn to refuse. A lifetime of pain is what people want to forget completely.
William learned a lesson and gained a lot of experience. Living is important, but living healthily is also important. He will not repeat the mistakes of some undesirable examples. Besides, the old man may not have any hope, and he will not forcefully decide other people's fate.
The family members may not understand, but William does.
“Yes, yes, I support you.” Tang Yaoyao said, “That old man was in his seventies or eighties, and his health was not good to begin with. He didn’t die from poisoning. Moreover, his life was destined to end today. He couldn’t possibly live forever. It’s just that his family can’t accept such a sudden thing happening. You can’t blame anyone else. They blame you and want to find a way to vent their anger.”
"Well, you'll get used to it." William couldn't remember what they had said about him.
They spent the whole day in the lab, the research team trying to figure out what the unidentified substance in the water was.
Meanwhile, doctors and nurses were all outside taking care of patients.
This is the third older person to have passed away. Most of them had too weak a immune system and died from poisoning, which exacerbated their organ failure.
People were filled with fear and anxiety, feeling like they might die at any moment.
But they also had to comfort them, tell them everything was alright, and cheer the patients on.
William stayed in the research room for a day and a night without sleep. The people waiting outside were very anxious. Ye Changfeng said, "If this continues, how can William's body take it? Are we really putting all our hopes on him?"
"Who else could it be but him? Dr. William also said that he would come out on his own and that no one needed to disturb him."
Tang Yaoyao said, "Give him some space. I believe he will understand his limits."
She had such confidence in William's abilities, despite her concerns.
During her free time, Tang Yaoyao called her family to ask about Fu Xiuchen's situation.
Their biggest worry was Tang Yaoyao. Qiao Yanzhi said on the phone, "Yaoyao, you haven't been home for several days. I heard you were in the research lab studying that flower, but now you've gone to the front lines. You haven't had time to come home. How about I come see you and bring you something to see if you need anything?"
"I'm fine. Everything's fine here. It's not as hard as you imagine, Mom. I just want to know how my older brother is doing. I haven't seen him here," Tang Yaoyao said.
Qiao Yanzhi said, "Your older brother is in another hospital. If you want to see him, I can transfer him to your hospital so you can see him every day. Your older brother is in good health and will be fine. The main problem was that your hospital was full at the time, so he didn't want to bother anyone else."
Hearing this, Tang Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I haven't had time to see him, and I feel really bad for him. As long as my brother can hold on, I believe I can definitely save him."
Qiao Yanzhi was moved by these words, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Of course, our whole family believes in you and supports any decision you make. Think about it, our Yao'er is such a kind and good child. She is willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good. Even your mother is not as selfless as you. I don't want to see you suffer."
She was a piece of her own flesh and blood; if she were selfish, she wouldn't want Tang Yaoyao to spend sleepless nights in the hospital.
It breaks my heart just thinking about it.
But she didn't want to cause trouble for Tang Yaoyao; if she went to take a look, it might delay Tang Yaoyao from saving a life.
For Tang Yaoyao's sake, and for the sake of others, she dared not do such a thing, and always remained calm and rational in dealing with everything.
Tang Yaoyao said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. I'm quite fulfilled right now."
"Oh, by the way, your brother is also saving people. He called me a few days ago. He was going back to China to treat people who had been poisoned on a street near your brother's company. I don't know if he's at your hospital. He was in such a hurry to come back that he hung up after only a few words. Time is too precious."
Qiao Yanzhi felt sorry for him, as he carried too much on his shoulders.
No matter how great a person is, they have many burdens to bear; they carry heavy responsibilities on their shoulders.
Hundreds of lives could be lost to him without him even realizing it.
Sometimes Qiao Yanzhi felt that he would get tired.
Tang Yaoyao said, "Really? I haven't heard about that. My brother hasn't come looking for me either."
She was not satisfied with this; they were clearly siblings, yet they hadn't appeared before her.
She was also looking forward to meeting her brother.
“He’s so busy, flying all over the world. I don’t even know where he is. But your brother is amazing. He’s the most hardworking doctor I’ve ever met.” Qiao Yanzhi said with great pride. None of her children have ever let her down.
Tang Yaoyao had experience with this job, and she understood how hard her brother worked. It was normal that he didn't have time to contact her.
