Chapter 120 Whether he lives or dies depends on you

Liu Huimin stared at Qiao Xi, waiting for her answer.

It was indeed a bit shameless to force a little girl in such a way in public. But when she thought of Liu Zongyun being sentenced to death by the doctor, she hardened her heart.

But for some reason, she felt depressed.

There was a slight pain.

"Doctor Qiao, are you going to reject a patient?" Liu Huimin asked calmly.

Qiao Xi remained silent, cold sweat oozing from her palms.

Master's order or responsibility? No answer.

Liu Huimin pressed, "Dr. Qiao, you are a doctor. No matter what, human life is the most important thing. If what happened today gets out, will you still be worthy of wearing this white coat?"

She took advantage of the fact that ordinary people didn't know about the relationship 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 was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and heard the buzzing discussions of passers-by in her ears.

Forced myself into a dead end.

Sudden.

The simple and lightweight instrument on the bed sounded an alarm. Liu Zongyun's face turned blue and his breathing became weaker.

The Liu family's bodyguards panicked, "Miss, please stop! We need to rescue her!"

Liu Huimin's fingers felt numb, but she became even 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 Qiao Xi's emphasis on 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 turned red, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I agree."

After hearing these three words, Liu Huimin leaned against the wall with her body limp, and shouted, "Send emergency help!"

She won!

However, I did not feel the happiness and satisfaction I had imagined. Instead, my heart was shrouded in a lingering haze, as if something was out of my control.

Qiao Xi walked up to her and spoke slowly: "When he is out of danger, I will treat him. But his condition is very serious, I hope you are mentally prepared."

Liu Huimin said with all her might, "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 after you helped them."

Qiao Xi looked at her and said seriously, "It's a blessing to be your family member."

But he is somewhat cruel to outsiders.

Qiao Xi turned around and walked out of the hospital without even changing out of her white coat.

Liu Huimin felt an inexplicable surge of bitterness in her heart, drowning her heart.

She covered her chest and felt a sharp pain.

corner.

Xu Xingluo enjoyed the lively scene, with a smile on his face and his peach blossom eyes curved in satisfaction.

That day, she heard her parents talking outside the study. It turned out that Cheng Han and Lu Bannong had a conflict, and the two agreed to use the north and south as the boundary, and neither of them 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 didn't save him, she would hire the navy to spread the news everywhere, causing her to lose her job and bringing disgrace to Chinese medicine.

No matter what she chooses, it's wrong!

"Starfall."

Xu Xiuyuan walked up to her with a gloomy face, 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 to ask for help, but she has clearly refused. If you do this, where will she be placed! And where will the order of our hospital be placed?"

Xu Xiuyuan was extremely angry, but his expression became calmer.

"If the patients' families follow suit, they will all come to the hospital to force the doctors to pay! How can the hospital operate? Today, the security guards didn't drive you away because of the Xu family! 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 is in poor health, and the possibility of recovery is almost zero. Qiao Xi has her reasons for not agreeing. You don't know that once 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 admonished.

"Yes! I will obey you!"

Xu Xingluo playfully raised four fingers and swore.

"You can get out now."

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 of the big age gap between them and they can't play together.

But he always felt that the sister he was expecting should be like Qiao Xi.

Instead of this baby who grew up in a pile of brocade and jade, who looks bright and beautiful but often says things like "Why not eat meat?"

Xu Xiuyuan thought this idea was ridiculous.

He had to call the Liu family and ask them to come over quickly.

…

Hospital lunch break.

Qiao Xi's eyes were red and bloodshot. She held her phone in her hand, not daring to dial the number.

A long time.

She finally made a decision and dialed the number.

The other party quickly picked up the phone, and deliberately relaxed his serious tone: "Qiao girl, what do you want to talk to me about?"

When Qiao Xi heard this voice, she choked up and broke down emotionally: "Master Cheng, I'm in trouble. I agreed to the Liu family's request for medical treatment..."

Cheng Han is a smart man.

She knew that Qiao Xi must have been plotted against. She was kindhearted 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 people who study medicine have a pure heart. Because they can decide life and death, some people's hearts are black and full of filth.

"I'm sorry, Master Cheng. I betrayed your trust."

Qiao Xi sobbed, feeling wronged and guilty.

Cheng Han sighed deeply and consoled her, "It's okay. Those are all things of the past. 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 that he couldn't hide it from her, so he could only confess the secret: "Back then, Chinese medicine was flourishing. Lu Bannong and I agreed to separate the north and south, and we would not interfere with each other. The patients that one of us treated would never be touched by the other."

"The Liu family used their power to ask Lu Bannong to treat him, so we can't do anything, otherwise it would be against the rules."

Qiao Xi asked: "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 have decided to treat Liu Zongyun, treat him well. I know it's very painful for you to refuse patients."

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-south divide occurred. This may... be a turning point.

Even in the midst of crisis, there should still be a glimmer of hope.

As her master, he would protect her and help her overcome all the difficulties along the way.

Qiao Xi didn't hear the heaviness in his words, and said firmly as if she was swearing: "I will try my best!"

She will be worthy of the white dress!
