As beeping sounds echoed in the quiet emergency room, the bed-ridden old general slowly opened his eyes and mumbled, “Lil Lin?”
Startled, the middle-aged man rushed over. With blood-shot eyes, he fumbled for words in the heat of the moment, “Father! I’m here! I’m here!”
Tears flowed down his cheeks as he held the old man’s hand tightly in his. A manly man would shed tears in the same situation. The middle-aged man was just one step away from losing his father.
Su Han glanced over without saying a word. He was about to leave the room when Old Xu hovered close to him, portraying a stark difference from the earlier display of contempt.
“Teacher Su1, I hope you don’t find offense in my attitude before. Hehe.” Old Xu appeared ill at ease following behind Su Han.
Su Han deserved to be addressed as a teacher for his exceptional capabilities!
He stopped in his tracks and turned to Old Xu to utter in a gentle voice, “Professor Old Xu, I’m a doctor, so saving lives is what I’ve always wanted to do. You’re doctors yourselves but why did you give up before the patient did?”
Old Xu nodded. His professor title was rubbish in comparison to a master who was proficient in ancient medicine’s Mystical Qi Finger!
“Teacher Su is right, I was ignorant.” Old Xu shook his head.
Standing aside, the little nurse’s mind went blank. What was going on? Professor Old Xu was apologizing to the young hospital guide cum male nurse?
He must be joking!
She felt as though her world had turned upside down.
“Old Xu, you’re the senior, you should call me Lil Su. I still have a lot to learn from you seniors.” Su Han nodded without an ounce of arrogance before setting foot out of the emergency room.
Old Xu was about to leave when Old Zhang drew close to him. “Old Xu, what’s going on?”
“This Teacher Su is a master!” Old Xu sighed before lowering his voice. Struck by a thought, he quickly turned to the pretty little nurse. “Little missy, are you from the Patient Help Desk?”
The pretty little nurse paused before hesitantly nodding.
Old Xu smiled. “You should report and hand in the necessary to Human Resource. Have them arrange for you to be placed in the Clinical Department. Just tell them it’s on my orders.”
He proceeded to walk out of the emergency room, leaving the little nurse in a state of disbelief. The Clinical Department… was every nurse’s dream!
She managed to get into the Clinical Department after only lending Su Han a little help? Gosh, happiness just hit her in the face!
On the other side of the door, Su Han exited the room when Director Liu came pouncing on him. Director Liu grabbed Su Han by the collar and threatened him. “You imbecile, do you know your actions brought harmful consequences to the hospital? You’re fired! You understand me? You’re fired!”
“Liu Cheng, let him go!”
As Old Xu walked out, he reprimanded in a loud voice upon witnessing Director Liu’s foolishness towards Su Han.
Liu Cheng was dumbstruck. What had occurred for Old Xu to be on this boy’s side? Judging by the looks of Old Xu, could it be that… He saved the elder’s life? It was Impossible!
“What kind of Director are you? Lil Su is a great doctor yet you arranged for him to be on the Patient Help Desk? Do you take your job seriously?” Infuriated, Old Xu gave him a scolding.
Director Liu’s mind went blank. Did this boy really save the old man?
Su Han, on the other hand, remained calm as though he did nothing out of the ordinary. He looked at Director Liu before dully responding, “I only want to save lives. The hospital? The hospital is a place to treat patients. What’s the purpose of a hospital if it can’t even do this?”
Speechless, Director Liu widened his mouth but no words came out of it. It must be a lucky fluke for him to save the elder. It was simply impossible.
He could not reconcile to the fact that he was reprimanded by Su Han. However, he knew that it was not the time and place to argue. He did not want to step on Old Xu and the rest’s toes.
Su Han was set to resume his work at the Patient Help Desk when back in the emergency room, the middle-aged man came running out.
“Mr. Su, please hold it right there!” The middle-aged man trod over gasping for air. He asked his father on his current state and the old general responded well. The outcome left the middle-aged man moved to tears.
After drawing near to Su Han, he solemnly bent from the waist. “Mr. Su, I’m grateful to you and owe you one! If you ever encounter trouble in the East City District, I’ll assist you as long as it’s within my capabilities.”
The people around were in shock to see the middle-aged man behaving as such. A favor granted by District Chief Dong?
Nevertheless, Su Han gently shook his head. “There’s no need for that. I’m merely working within the boundaries of a doctor. You don’t owe me anything.”
Everyone’s jaw dropped at Su Han’s statement. Did he just reject a favor from District Chief Dong? It must be a joke!
Dong Lin was caught off guard himself. He was not one to offer favors easily and would not have proposed it if it were not for Su Han rescuing his father. However, Su Han was not keen on it.
“Your father has suffered a lot of injuries in his younger days and they are all built up inside him. It would be hard to treat in one go so he still needs a lot of care…”
“You should provide that care immediately!” Before Su Han could finish, Director Liu chimed in. “Don’t you know who District Chief Dong is? Do you know who the old general is?”
With a hardened face, Su Han swept a glance at Director Liu and spoke in an indifferent tone of voice. He exercised self-control yet Director Liu kept trying his patience and pushed him around. Did he take him for a pushover?
“I only see patients, not their identity nor status. I’ll save if I want to and I won’t succumb to force or pleas if I don’t want to!” Saying that, Su Han turned to leave without hesitation.
Dong Lin lost his composure and glared at Director Liu, wishing he could slap Director Liu across the room. “Are you trying to kill my father!”
Director Liu went weak in the knees at Dong Lin’s accusation. His intention was to leave a good impression on District Chief Dong by ordering Su Han to treat the old man but who would have thought…
Old Xu shook his head and looked towards Director Liu with a face of impatience and disappointment. He snorted before departing alongside Professor Old Zhang, leaving behind the stunned and helpless Director Liu.
Dong Lin pursued Su Han and remained courteous throughout their interaction. He dared not show disrespect to the man who was capable of saving his father. Su Han must be an extraordinary man to earn great respect from Old Xu and Old Zhang.
“Mr. Su, you said earlier that you were willing to save my father because he fought for the country. You’ve come this far to help him, I hope you can provide care for my father.” Dong Lin expressed the utmost sincerity. To him, his father was the most important person in his life.
Su Han halted his footsteps and glanced at Dong Lin. He could sense Dong Lin’s filial devotion. The action of kneeling in front of the emergency room commanded respect. He had no qualms helping a prominent figure who only kneeled before Heaven and parents.
“Your father sustained injuries for the country, he should enjoy a peaceful life in his late years. I will help you.” Su Han thought about it before replying.
Hot with emotions, Dong Lin grabbed onto Su Han’s hand and expressed his gratitude. He stuffed his name card in Su Han’s hands.
“Mr. Su, thank you very much. This is my number. You can call me anytime when you have the time, I’ll send someone to pick you up immediately!”
