My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 448: Chapter 442: Who Stayed Behind

Tang Yuxin placed the tray on the table, then approached the man.

“I’m here to remove your stitches.”

The man lay there tranquilly, his face covered with grim scars, but his complexion was unremarkable. He looked like he had lost all interest in life, his eyes devoid of any brilliance. He seemed oblivious to everything and incapable of resisting.

However, Tang Yuxin didn’t feel any sympathy.

Those who are pitiful must have a detestable side.

And those who are detestable — might they at times also be pitiable?

Tang Yuxin undid the man’s clothes and removed the stitches from his chest wound. The healing was quite satisfactory, apart from the large scar that would remain, his heart continued to throb in his chest, stubbornly clinging to life.

“I saw her,” Tang Yuxin confided as she removed his stitches. The man didn’t react, but his heart seemed to beat faster.

“They’re very good to her, spoil her a lot. They’re a childless couple. The husband owns a small company, and the wife is a full-time homemaker. They both love children. They adore her, always eager to hold her. The husband will squat down to help the child put on her shoes, the woman lets the child touch her carefully styled hair. The child is very close to them.”

Having finished removing the stitches, she gathered her belongings.

Just as she was about to step out the door, she heard the man sob.

“Thank you.”

That ‘thank you’ carried so much weight, possibly more than one person could bear, yet it was something that needed to be carried. Living required bearing burdens, however strenuous or exhausting, one must keep living, for there are always people we can’t bear to leave behind.

She walked out, her heart unexpectedly heavy. She wasn’t helping him, she was helping a father, a father like Tang Zhinian, an honest and incapable father, but one who was willing to devote his entire life to his daughter.

They might have made many mistakes, but in the end, they never failed as fathers.

Anyone can refuse to forgive them, anyone can blame them, but their sons and daughters have no right to.

She walked over to the window, looking out at the vast blue sky, unlike the confined world of the hospital room, home to anxious, directionless souls, struggling to escape the claws of darkness, fated to spend a lifetime in the shadows.

Living a grounded and realistic life was really nice, as was being able to live under this vast sky.

She never visited the special ward on the third floor again. One day, as she passed by, she discovered that there were no longer security guards outside, and no patients within.

All of this had nothing to do with her. She was just a doctor, as ordinary as they come, capable of treating patients but not the world.

Several months later, their internships at the hospital came to an end.

“Xiao Tang, how’s our general hospital? If you choose to stay, we will provide you with a new apartment, a two-bedroom unit that just finished construction. Your benefits will be the same as our doctors who have worked here for many years. You’ll also receive a travel and housing stipend,” the dean Zhu said with a smile, seemingly trying to lure her like a wolf disguised as a grandmother.

Zhu’s words were clear enough. Tang Yuxin would remain at the hospital, and she would even get an apartment. This pleased her greatly. She also liked it here, she could wake up to the bugle call every morning, follow in their footsteps, and although it was busy, it still felt relaxing.

It was simpler than where she had worked before.@@novelbin@@

“Dean, who else is staying?”

Tang Yuxin asked again. Of their group of interns, it was unclear who would stay. It would be good if anyone stayed, but she hoped a certain someone would not. Seeing that person’s face every day might make her lose her appetite.

“About that…” Dean Zhu pondered, “Well, since you asked, I’ll tell you. We kept three interns in total, besides you. However, you were never officially an intern because our general hospital has had our eyes on you for a while.”

As she expected, Tang Yuxin was an exception. The quality of her medical skills had long secured her a position here, regardless of her internship elsewhere. But who were the others who stayed?

Dean Zhu retrieved some files from his cabinet, “Here, you can take a look. But keep it confidential.”

“Okay,” Tang Yuxin agreed, taking the stack of files. As she opened them, she was quite pleasantly surprised to see Li Jia’s name among the three people chosen to stay.

Tang Yuxin didn’t find it surprising that Li Jia was chosen to stay. Though she wasn’t the best, and her professional skills weren’t particularly impressive, she was the most down-to-earth, obedient, and hardworking.

Li Jia being chosen to stay was the most pleasing to Tang Yuxin. Looking at the other two pages, she saw that Wei Jiani’s name was absent. It appeared Wei Jiani would soon have to leave.

“You seem quite pleased?”

As expected of the cunning Dean Zhu, Tang Yuxin’s thoughts couldn’t escape his insightful gaze.

“Wei Jiani’s name isn’t here,” Tang Yuxin didn’t deviate from the point and asked directly.

“Her?” Dean Zhu sat down, retrieving several student files and flipping through them.

“Her character is problematic, she isn’t fit to stay at the hospital.”

“How did you know?” Tang Yuxin was genuinely curious about how Dean Zhu discovered this. Wei Jiani was very adept at pretence. She had deceived Zhang’s parents and Zhang Yong’an with it. But now Zhang Yong’an was becoming a mess, there was no way he could afford graduate school, let alone study abroad. Returning from studying abroad with a decent degree could secure a good job. Now that he was turning into a waste, would Wei Jiani, a woman with such high expectations, still want him? It would be a miracle!

Claiming they were truly in love… she didn’t buy that.

As for Wei Jiani’s character issues, Tang Yuxin felt this was related to Sang Zhilan. Like mother like daughter—if the mother was bad, how could the daughter be any better? Therefore, in her lifetime, she never recognized Sang Zhilan as her mother. As long as she didn’t come to harm her, it was fine.
