To My Dear Mr. Huo-Novel2

Chapter 528: Who Gave You the Right?

There was a picture of Su Qingsang on a wall in the office of the obstetrics department. Li Hong’s husband had already spoken to some other doctors from that department.

Sun Huiya spent a long time trying to comfort him, but he still insisted on making Su Qingsang pay. Sun Huiya told him that it was she who operated on his wife, but he refused to believe that. historical

He knew that Sun Huiya was the director of the department. She was a director, which means she had a background. Unlike her, Su Qingsang was a newly hired doctor.

He couldn’t do anything to a director, but he could surely do something to a young doctor.

“Yes, it was you! You!”

Li Hong’s husband put the lunch box down, stepped to the side, and blocked Su Qingsang’s way.

Startled, Su Qingsang looked at Li Hong’s husband. She slightly furrowed her brows and asked, “Can I help you?”

“Oh, can you help me? Yeah, of course, you can.”

Li Hong’s husband rolled up his sleeves while speaking, also clenching his fists.

Su Qingsang knitted her brows, staring at him silently. Behind her, Li Hong, who was lying on the bed, called her husband, “Lin Gang, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing?” Li Hong’s husband, whose name was Lin Gang, looked at Su Qingsang. He raised his hand and pointed his finger at her nose, saying, “Let me ask you something. Were you the one who cut out my wife’s uterus?”

“Yes.” Su Qingsang looked at him and nodded.

“Good, you admitted it, good.” Lin Gang bobbed his head. “Let me ask you another question. Who gave you the right to cut out my wife’s uterus?”

“Mr. Lin, I think I need to explain to you. Your wife was in a critical condition back then. If we didn’t remove her uterus, her life might be in danger. Do you understand?”

“You said ‘might’?”

“Yes.”

“So you weren’t a hundred percent sure!” Lin Gang pointed at her and said, “Since you weren’t a hundred percent sure, who gave you the right to do that? Tell me.”

Su Qingsang stepped backward as the man’s finger nearly touched her nose. “Mr. Lin,” she said, “Please calm down. I said ‘might’, because we doctors can never be a hundred percent sure about what may happen. However, your wife’s condition was...”

“Enough. I don’t want to hear it!” Lin Gang made another step forward and said, “I’m telling you, you cut out my wife’s uterus, so you’re gonna take the responsibility for that.”

“Take the responsibility?” Su Qingsang looked at him, dumbfounded. “What do you want me to do?”

“What do I want you to do? Simple. I want you to give me a son.”

Earlier, a so-called warlock had told him affirmatively that Li Hong would have a son. Lin Gang had already made that man pay for his erroneous claims.

And now, it was Su Qingsang’s turn.

Su Qingsang stared at the man’s finger which was almost poking into her face again. She took another step backward. “Mr. Lin, can you stop being unreasonable?”

“I’m being unreasonable? Let me show you what’s being unreasonable like!”

Upon saying that, Lin Gang raised a fist, about to punch Su Qingsang on the face.

Su Qingsang wasn’t expecting that. She surely wouldn’t stand there to let herself be punched. Quickly, she took a series of steps backward to dodge that punch.

The man didn’t think that Su Qingsang would dodge. Enraged, he bellowed, “You bloody quack! Because of you, my wife, my family will never have a son! I’m gonna kill you!”

While yelling, he rushed at Su Qingsang. Seeing that, Li Hong hurriedly shouted out loud, “Lin Gang! What are you doing?! Stop!”

“Shut up! b*tch! It has nothing to do with you!”

Su Qingsang moved to the other side of the bed as the man came at her.

That was a wrong move, however. In a panic, she glared at Lin Gang and said with a very cold voice, “Mr. Lin, if you keep acting like this I’ll call the police.”

“Do it. Just do it. Because of you, I’ll never have a son! I’m gonna kill you and then go to prison!”

Lin Gang once again swung a fist at Su Qingsang’s face. Su Qingsang automatically raised an arm to defend herself. However, the punch didn’t land on her as she expected.

Li Hong had sprung up from the bed and clenched onto Lin Gang’s waist tightly. Her feet were still bare.

“Lin Gang, stop it!”

“B*tch! Let go of me!” Lin Gang yanked Li Hong’s hands while speaking.

“Let go of you? Why? Huh?” Li Hong burst into screams.

She pushed Lin Gang with all her might, glaring at him fiercely. She screamed, “You want to punch her and then go to prison, that’s your business. But don’t drag me into trouble! I just had a baby! What the hell are you doing?!”

“B*tch! You...!”

“What? I what?” Li Hong had noticed her husband’s behavior these days. He hadn’t been nice to her recently. He refused to look after her, and he didn’t even bring her lunch in time.

Unlike her, the other new mothers had all been taken good care of by their families.

“Lin Gang, don’t be heartless. If you didn’t come up with that stupid idea and asked me to fake the accident, would I ever get hit by the car? Would I go into premature labor? Would I lose my uterus?”

“You agreed to do that, didn’t you?”

“I did, I did, but I regretted it.” Li Hong had been unhappy ever since she found out she would be having a daughter.

Lin Gang called her ‘useless’. Her parent-in-laws hadn’t even come to visit her in the hospital, because she was having a daughter.

Lin Gang had been complaining every day, saying that she had given birth to a useless one; that she was stupid. She had enough of that.

“I regretted it. I wanted to stop long ago. You said that it’s a way to make quick money and that we need to save up for our son. Didn’t you say that? I wanted to stop long ago! I...”

Li Hong suddenly burst in tears, collapsing onto the ground.

“I regretted it. I truly regretted it. I shouldn’t have listened to you. Why did I listen to you? I shouldn’t have listened to you!”

She could tolerate all the crude words her husband threw at her, but she couldn’t bear watching her daughter suffer. Her daughter was in the incubator, but her husband took her out because he thought that it was a waste of money.

“What the hell are you talking about? B*tch! Get out of my way! I’m gonna kill this quack today!”

Lin Gang didn’t sound as confident as before, but he still didn’t want to give up just like that either. He pointed at Li Hong and howled, “Move! Did you hear me?”

“Alright, do what you want, but kill me first!” Li Hong abruptly stood up and said, “Come on, do it! Kill me! Punch me to death! I don’t want to live anyway... I hate my life.”

“Why didn’t I die? Why?” Li Hong kicked him while speaking, “Tell me, would you be happier if our daughter and I both died? Tell me!”

Lin Gang dodged the kick and raised an arm, speaking menacingly, “B*tch, I’m warning you! Don’t think that I don’t want to hit you. I’m telling you, I...!”

Before he could finish, Li Hong fell to the ground, unconscious.

“B*tch, stop doing that! You think playing death can save you?”

Su Qingsang stepped forward, glanced at Li Hong, and then glared at Lin Gang. She said, “Enough! Didn’t you see that her suture has ruptured? Move, if you don’t want her to die.”

She was incandescent with fury, already having figured out everything.

“The b*tch is playing dead...” Lin Gang argued, but his voice grew low.

Su Qingsang spared no attention for him at the moment. She only peeked at the man who was now standing by the bedside stupefied, like a chunk of wood.

She called the nurses, and together with them, she sent Li Hong to the clinic for examination.

The stitches were ripped open as Su Qingsang thought. However, she wasn’t sure why the patient had passed out. She guessed it was because the patient was so angry that it led to the insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Su Qingsang restitched the wound as quickly as possible. After finishing the work, she found herself soaked in sweat.

She did what she had to do. She then asked the nurses to send Li Hong back to the ward. After that, she wiped the sweat off her forehead, heaving a sigh of exhaustion. She wasn’t expecting these things to happen so suddenly.

She recalled how Li Hong fiercely pulled Zhang Yichen’s clothes and threatened to make him pay. What happened earlier today changed Su Qingsang’s impression on that woman.

She returned to the office. Still concerned about Li Hong, she asked Li Meilin to keep an eye on her.

She thought it was over. After all, Li Hong was now lying there in a coma. Lin Gang wouldn’t make a scene again unless he was that heartless.

Su Qingsang underestimated how shameless people could be. She thought the problem was solved, but on that night, her name showed up in the local hot-search list on Weibo.

Two pictures of her were posted on Weibo. In one picture, she was helping the unconscious Li Hong up. However, because of the shooting angle, it didn’t look like that.

The people who didn’t know what exactly had happened might perceive the anxiety on her face as guilt.

The heading of that Weibo post was ‘The doctor insulted the patient and caused her condition to worsen.’

Not a word in that article was true. In the article, Su Qingsang allegedly went to the ward to insult the patient verbally, agitated the patient, and even caused her to rip her stitches open.

According to the article, the doctor insulted the patient because the patient was suspected of faking the accident.

The article raised rhetorical questions: ‘Can doctors treat patients with discrimination and insult the patients because of what they have done?’

There were no videos; only a few pictures that did not state the truth. Under that post, thousands of keyboard warriors were giving Su Qingsang waves of criticism.

The relationship between doctors and patients had been tense already, and now something like that was posted.

Next, another Weibo post gave more shocking information. According to that post, not only did Su Qingsang insult the patient, but she had also removed her uterus because of a personal issue.

According to that post, Su Qingsang knew that the patient tried to fake the accident, but she ended up being hit by the car for real. Because of that, she removed the patient’s uterus although she did not have to, taking away the patient’s right to have another child.

The two Weibo posts made breaking news.

While the keyboard warriors were attacking Su Qingsang online, Lin Gang found the hospital leaders and told them that Su Qingsang started a conflict with his wife in the ward, causing his wife’s stitches to rip.

Su Qingsang had a minor operation that afternoon. By the time she came out of the operating room, that had already become big news.

The hospital leaders didn’t summon her immediately, as she was still operating.

When she finished the operation, the hospital leaders had learned what happened. Su Qingsang, Sun Huiya, and the other few doctors who took part in Li Hong’s surgery were all summoned to the administration office.

Su Qingsang was the last one to arrive. Many were already sitting in the office when she entered the office.

On the scene were Zhou Shaonan, the vice-president of the hospital, Director Huang, the director of the administration department, Sun Huiya, Shen Lingyun, Yang Lu, from the gynecology and obstetrics department, and Li Meilin and He Xueli, who were nurses.

Su Qingsang had just taken off her surgical gown. Staring at those people in the office, she wondered what was going on.

She had neither seen the Weibo posts nor watched the news yet, so she had no idea what was going on.

She was immediately summoned once she came out of the operating room.

She looked at the leaders, then at Sun Huiya. After that, she greeted the hospital leaders first, then went to find herself a seat.

Before she sat down, someone called her name.

Zhou Shaonan looked at Su Qingsang. He had heard some rumors about her. Although she had worked in the hospital for only a short time, all her colleagues thought highly of her.

What happened this time was an accident. They all understood that a young doctor could be emotional sometimes.

The hospital was willing to give Su Qingsang another chance.

“Doctor Su, we hope that you can give us an explanation about what happened this time.”

The hospital didn’t rush to plan on punishing Su Qingsang or firing her, and they were willing to offer her a chance to explain.

“What’s going on?”

Su Qingsang was perplexed. She couldn’t help but glance at Sun Huiya.

Sun Huiya knew that Su Qingsang was purely unlucky. The surgery had nothing to do with Su Qingsang at all. She was just unlucky that someone took pictures of her when she had a conflict with the patient in the ward. Sun Huiya would like to hear what Su Qingsang would say.

Li Meilin kindly took out her phone, quickly found the Weibo post, and showed it to Su Qingsang.

Scanning through the phone, Su Qingsang was shocked.

What was that?

She forced herself to read the entire article and some of the comments. She then handed the phone back to Li Meilin and thanked her.

After that, she turned to Zhou Shaonan. She looked at him in the eyes, stood straight, and said calmly, “Mr. Zhou, I can explain.”

Su Qingsang looked at Sun Huiya, then told Zhou Shaonan about Li Hong’s condition when she was first admitted to the hospital.

“The patient’s uterus was ruptured, and she had a massive hemorrhage. The amount of bleeding kept rising, so we did what we had to do.”

“Director Sun can prove that.”

“Alright.” Zhou Shaonan nodded and said, “I’ve heard from Director Sun about that. I believe you made that decision to save the patient’s life. What happened this afternoon then?”

“Li Hong is my patient. As her doctor, I went to check on her and see how she’s been doing after the operation. I never thought that I’d run into her husband, Lin Gang.”

Su Qingsang retold what had happened, including the fact that Lin Gang attempted to attack her, which caused her to move to the other side of the bed to dodge. At that time, Li Hong sprung up to fight Lin Gang. She was so furious that she passed out in the end.

“That’s what happened. Mr. Zhou, please believe me. As a professional doctor, I will never insult the patient, no matter who she is. I wouldn’t insult her even if she’s a criminal. A doctor’s job is to save people. The patients’ occupations have nothing to do with that. About that, I’ve given my vow when I became a medical student.”

Vice President Zhou made eye contact with the other hospital leaders on the scene.

They were, of course, willing to believe Su Qingsang.

However, since things had already led up to this, the hospital had to display its strictness.

“Erm, don’t be nervous. We have you here only to learn what exactly has happened. If what you said is true, we will certainly do something about the content of the Weibo post, as well as the patient’s husband.”

“Thank you, Mr. Zhou.” Su Qingsang nodded. She found herself so unlucky.

Despite that, she kept her composure. She heard what Li Hong said earlier. Based on her experiences in Lin City, she believed that her problem would soon be resolved perfectly.

The hospital intended to prove Su Qingsang’s innocence, as well as prove the innocence of the hospital itself. Without a doubt, they wanted the problem to be solved as soon as possible.

The news about the relationship between doctors and patients has been especially eye-catching these days. Many reporters had come to the hospital to interview the people about what happened.

Thankfully, Vice President Zhou reacted swiftly. He told the reporters that he would accept the interview after finding out the truth, and he managed to keep those reporters from swarming into the hospital.

“You said the patient thanked you. So now let’s find her and ask her what exactly happened back then. After that, we’ll talk to the media and let them know about the true quality of our doctors.”

Su Qingsang nodded in agreement. She wanted to prove herself innocent as soon as possible too.

She knew that would happen sooner or later, but she hated the feeling that she was having now.

The group of people left the administration office together. Zhou Shaonan pondered for a moment and decided to talk to Li Hong himself.

Sun Huiya was concerned about the matter too. At last, Zhou Shaonan, Director Chen, Su Qingsang, and Sun Huiya went to see Li Hong together.

It was off hours already. Some doctors and nurses were still on duty.

They were surprised to see the four of them, especially the vice-president Zhou Shaonan, who was in charge of the hospital’s administration processes.

Several people followed him, eager to know what was happening.

Seeing some doctors follow behind the group of people, a few people who came to the hospital to visit the patients followed behind them too.

Zhou Shaonan was going to ask them to leave, but he had second thoughts and decided not to do that. He thought that clearing things up in front of so many people would be good.

Su Qingsang walked in the front. She wasn’t nervous at the time.

Earlier, she had restitched Li Hong’s wounds. It had been a couple of hours, and the patient should already be awake.

As long as she made things clear with Li Hong, there would be no more issues.

Su Qingsang remembered how Li Hong protected her earlier. She believed that the problem would be resolved easily. All she needed to do was to make things clear.

By the time she came to Li Hong’s ward, Li Hong had already woken up. The wound that hadn’t healed completely was restitched. Because of that, she looked even paler and weaker than before.

Once Su Qingsang came in, Lin Gang walked up to her and said, “Quack, what are you doing here?”

“Mister, please calm down.” Vice President Zhou was the oldest among the group. He stepped forward and looked at Lin Gang, who seemed to be throwing jabs at Su Qingsang.

“We’re just here to ask some questions.”

“What do you want to ask?” Lin Gang glared at Su Qingsang with a vicious look. “Because of her, my wife has become like this. Are there still any questions to ask?”

Zhou Shaonan could tell how unreasonable Lin Gang was. If he was a reasonable man, he wouldn’t have asked his wife to fake her car accidents.

He didn’t look at Lin Gang, but at Li Hong instead. “Ms. Li,” he said to her, “Good to see you. This afternoon, Doctor Su was here checking on you, and earlier, she restitched your wound. How are you feeling right now?”

Vice President Zhou spoke very intelligently. He made it clear that Su Qingsang was only there to check on Li Hong, and that she had helped her.

As long as Li Hong showed recognition towards his words, nothing would go wrong.

Su Qingsang looked at Li Hong, waiting for her to start talking.

Li Hong, who was lying on the bed, looked ghastly pale and debilitated at the moment. She looked at Su Qingsang in the eyes and swallowed her saliva with difficulty, tears gushing out of her eyes.

“Doctor Su, why did you do this to me? I was only trying to fake a car accident. I got hit by the car. I was already punished. Why did you still do this to me? Why did you still come here to insult me?”

Su Qingsang gawked at Li Hong, baffled by her sudden accusation. She couldn’t even believe her ears.

“Li Hong, do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Doctor Su, please stop hurting me. Please.”

Li Hong now looked completely different from the woman who thanked Su Qingsang and protected her earlier that day.

The one whom Su Qingsang was looking at seemed like a different person, who was saying completely different words.

“Li Hong, you are lying. You know that’s not what happened.”

“Doctor Su, I was wrong. I know that what I did was wrong. I’ve already been punished. I don’t even have a uterus now. I’m no longer a healthy woman. Why are you still hurting me?”

All the color had drained from Li Hong’s face. She was lying on the bed, weeping and accusing Su Qingsang.

Even Sun Huiya, who believed Su Qingsang, couldn’t help but pity the woman who looked so miserable.

A large group of people had gathered outside the ward, including the other doctors and nurses, the other patients, and their families who had followed the vice president to the ward to see what was happening.

Several patients from the ward next door and their families were there too.

People gathered there, looking into the ward. They all heard what Li Hong said.

Her wound was restitched today, but at that moment, she endured the pain and asked Lin Gang to help her up. She then pointed at Su Qingsang and said to the crowd, “Look, this doctor did this to me, because I tried to fake a car accident. This is how doctors are nowadays!”

Li Hong’s voice was frail. She accused Su Qingsang with that tearful voice. Some patients’ families who were excited by the show filmed her with their phones.

Su Qingsang didn’t even notice that a huge group of people had already gathered behind her. She was looking at Li Hong the entire time.

Vice President Zhou tried to stop them, but it was too late. Many had filmed Li Hong talking.
