Chapter 120 Whether he lives or dies depends on you
Liu Huimin stared at Qiao Xi, waiting for her answer.
It was indeed shameless to force a little girl with such means in public. But when she thought about Liu Zongyun being sentenced to death by the doctor, she hardened her heart.
But for some reason, her heart felt heavy.
There was a slight throbbing pain.
"Doctor Qiao, are you going to reject a patient?" Liu Huimin asked calmly.
Qiao Xi remained silent, cold sweat oozing from his palms.
Master's order or responsibility? No answer.
Liu Huimin pressed, "Doctor Qiao, you're a doctor. No matter what, human life is paramount. If today's events were to become known, would you still be worthy of wearing this white coat?"
She took advantage of the fact that ordinary people didn't know about the dispute between Cheng Han and Lu Bannong, and wanted to use public opinion to force Qiao Xi to suffer this loss.
Qiao Xi felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart. She looked at Liu Zongyun, who had his eyes closed on the hospital bed, and the buzzing sounds of passers-by's discussions filled her ears.
Forced myself into a dead end.
Sudden.
The simple and lightweight instrument on the hospital bed sounded an alarm, Liu Zongyun's face turned blue and purple, and his breathing became weaker.
The Liu family's bodyguards panicked, "Miss, she's in cardiac arrest! We need to save her immediately!"
Liu Huimin's fingers were numb, but she became calmer.
She wants to gamble!
"Doctor Qiao, if you don't agree to see him, I won't send him to the emergency room today. Whether he lives or dies today depends entirely on your answer!"
She bet on how much Qiao Xi valued her reputation!
Bet on her kindness and her vocation as a doctor!
What is at stake is Liu Zongyun’s life!
Qiao Xi's throat tightened, her eyes reddened, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I promise."
After hearing these three words, Liu Huimin slumped against the wall and shouted, "Send emergency medical help!"
She won the bet!
But I didn't feel as happy and satisfied as I had imagined. My heart was shrouded in an indelible haze, as if something was out of my control.
Qiao Xi walked up to her and spoke slowly, "I will treat him once he's out of danger. But his condition is very serious, so I hope you'll be mentally prepared."
Liu Huimin forced herself to speak, "Of course! I didn't hold out any hope either, I just didn't want to leave any regrets for my family. Even if my second brother died, they would have given up hope after you took action."
Qiao Xi looked at her and said seriously, "It's a blessing to be your family."
But to outsiders, he is somewhat cruel.
Qiao Xi turned around and walked out of the hospital without even changing out of her white coat.
Liu Huimin felt a sudden surge of bitterness in her heart, drowning her heart.
She covered her chest, feeling a sharp pain.
Corner.
Xu Xingluo was enjoying the lively show, with the corners of her mouth turned up and her peach blossom eyes curved in satisfaction.
That day, she overheard her parents' conversation outside the study. It turned out that Cheng Han and Lu Bannong had a conflict, and they had agreed to separate north and south, and neither would touch the other's patients.
Otherwise...it's all over!
If Qiao Xi agreed to save her second uncle, she would have to bear the consequences.
If Qiao Xi doesn't save her, she will hire an army of internet trolls to spread the news everywhere, causing her to lose her job and bringing shame to traditional Chinese medicine.
No matter what she chooses, it will be wrong!
"Starfall."
Xu Xiuyuan walked up to her with a gloomy expression, which scared Xu Xingluo.
"Brother." She forced a smile in panic.
"Come with me to the office."
Xu Xiuyuan's attitude was cold. Xu Xingluo followed him closely, with countless thoughts running through his mind.
As soon as the office door closed, the atmosphere became tense.
Xu Xiuyuan questioned, "Was it your idea?"
Xu Xingluo said pitifully, "It's me. I'm worried about my second uncle. My grandmother is about to fall ill, and no one wants to lose my second uncle."
"The Liu family has already come to Qiao Xi's house to ask for help, but she has clearly refused. If you do this, where will you put her? And where will the order of our hospital be?"
Xu Xiuyuan was extremely angry, but his expression became calmer.
"If the patients' families follow suit and come to the hospital to threaten the doctors, how will the hospital continue to operate? The security guards didn't drive you away today because of the Xu family's face! Otherwise, you..."
"Brother, I know I was wrong." Xu Xingluo pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly.
Xu Xiuyuan rubbed his swollen temples and said, "Second Uncle's health is declining, and the possibility of recovery is almost zero. Qiao Xi has her reasons for not agreeing. You don't know that if she agrees, she will have to face..."
"Facing what?"
Xu Xingluo looked at him pretending to be confused.
She knew it, so she forced Qiao Xi to agree.
"It's nothing. Don't do this again in the future." Xu Xiuyuan taught.
"Yes! I will be obedient!"
Xu Xingluo playfully raised four fingers and swore.
"You go out."
Xu Xiuyuan looked at Xu Xingluo, who was dressed exquisitely and beautifully, and said lightly.
They have never been close as siblings since they were young, probably because the age gap between them is too big and they can't play together.
But he always felt that the sister he longed for should be like Qiao Xi.
Instead of this precious baby who grew up in a pile of splendor, looks bright and beautiful, but often says things like "Why not eat meat porridge?"
Xu Xiuyuan thought this idea was ridiculous.
He had to call the Liu family and ask them to come over quickly.
…
Lunch break at the hospital.
Qiao Xi's eyes were red and bloodshot. She held her phone tightly, hesitant to dial the number.
for a long time.
She finally made a decision and dialed the number.
The other party quickly picked up the phone, and his serious tone deliberately slowed down: "Qiao girl, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qiao Xi choked up when she heard this voice and broke down emotionally: "Grandpa Cheng, I'm in trouble. I promised the Liu family to seek medical treatment..."
Cheng Han is a smart man.
She knew Qiao Xi must have been plotted against. She was kind-hearted by nature. If the other party was determined to make her take action, she would not be able to escape.
How could she defend herself against such attacks? This was one of the reasons why Cheng Han had not revealed her identity before.
Not all medical students possess a pure heart. Because they can decide life and death, some people's hearts are black and stained with filth.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Cheng. I betrayed your trust."
Qiao Xi sobbed, feeling wronged and guilty.
Cheng Han sighed deeply and said comfortingly, "It's okay. Those are all old things. Maybe no one is holding on to them. You are just my apprentice. I will protect you."
Qiao Xi asked, "What happened back then? Why did the Liu family say they broke the rules?"
Cheng Han realized he couldn't hide it from her, so he confessed, "Back when Traditional Chinese Medicine was flourishing, Lu Bannong and I agreed to separate the north and south, and have nothing to do with each other. The other would never touch a patient that one of us had treated."
"The Liu family used their power to ask Lu Bannong for treatment, so we can't intervene, otherwise it would be breaking the rules."
Qiao Xi pressed on: "What are the consequences of breaking the rules?"
Cheng Han's mind flashed through those images, and he finally said, "It's nothing, don't worry. Since you've decided to treat Liu Zongyun, then treat him well. I know it's very painful for you to refuse a patient."
A doctor is also a hero.
The greatest heroes serve their country and their people.
How can you watch a life disappear?
The roots of traditional Chinese medicine were distorted when the north and south were divided. This may be... a turning point.
Even in the midst of crises, there should still be a glimmer of hope.
As her master, he will protect her and help her clear the thorns along the way.
Qiao Xi didn't hear the seriousness in his words, and said firmly as if she was swearing: "I will try my best!"
She will be worthy of wearing a white dress!
