Lu Nansheng was always suspicious.
Was it possible that something she had done had been discovered?
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
Her actions were flawless, there was no way they could be discovered.
Lu Nansheng deliberately made things difficult for Su Ruanruan.
She sneered mockingly: "Don’t think you’re great just because you’ve taken over a few patients! Ha, Patient 502 still owes over a hundred thousand, think you can handle the payment issue?"
She made nasty remarks: "The rich missy can’t accomplish anything."
Lu Nansheng waited to see the joke unfold.
At this moment, her assistant Gong Xiaohong raised her hand.
Her voice was very light: "Patient 502 has paid 500,000." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⟡fire.net
Lu Nansheng was shocked.
She didn’t want to give up on this patient.
She argued with Yin Zhao, but there was absolutely no room for negotiation on his end.
Lu Nansheng hung up the phone.
Just then, Su Ruanruan tapped lightly on her desk, speaking calmly: "The 500,000 was paid by me on behalf of the patient."
Lu Nansheng was instantly embarrassed.
She questioned: "Doctor Su, what are you implying? Think you’re amazing because you have money?"
"Yes! Having money is indeed amazing," Su Ruanruan enunciated clearly.
She sneered: "At least I can see Doctor Lu kneel for money!"
After saying that, she walked out.
Lu Nansheng was so angry that she threw a cup.
Inside the office, no one made a sound.
They all could see that Lu Nansheng was no longer the person Dean Yin valued the most.
And there was... the way Doctor Su flaunted her wealth.
Su Ruanruan went to Ward 502.
She brought a bouquet of lilies with her.
The patient’s family had just found out about the additional 500,000 in their account, and were extremely grateful.
But they didn’t know whom to thank.
The nurse told them that it was Doctor Su who had paid for them.
When Su Ruanruan came over, the woman wanted to kneel to her.
But Su Ruanruan wouldn’t allow it.
She checked on the patient.
The situation was grim, and a kidney transplant might be highly likely.
As a doctor, she informed the woman.
The woman covered her mouth and wept bitterly.
The man regained consciousness.
He tenderly comforted his wife and even made arrangements for the eventuality of his death...
The woman cried inconsolably, clinging tightly to her husband.
She then pleaded with Su Ruanruan.
She wasn’t foolish; the hospital had changed doctors.
This female doctor had paid for them; she must be a good person.
Su Ruanruan felt a tinge of sourness in her heart.
She agreed with Yin Zhao’s words; one shouldn’t develop special feelings for patients.
But this couple was too exceptional.
Exceptional enough that she confronted Dean Yin and broke with Lu Nansheng early.
She wanted this man to live.
Su Ruanruan spoke calmly: "I’ve already arranged for a kidney source. If surgery is necessary, it will be directly air-transported from abroad."
She added: "As for the cost, don’t worry."
The woman hugged her arm, sobbing aloud.
Their young daughter came over.
A 14 or 15-year-old girl, very sensible.
Fear was apparent in her eyes; she was afraid her father might die.
Su Ruanruan squatted down.
She patted the little girl’s head and said softly, "Daddy will be alright."
The man’s condition was dire!
That night, Su Ruanruan decided to proceed with a kidney transplant.
She had found the kidney source, and an additional 1.2 million was spent.
All the medication and equipment used were top-notch.
She sent the patient’s information to Dean Yin for review.
Dean Yin examined it closely.
Indeed, a kidney transplant was the only option.
He wanted to perform the surgery personally.
Because this operation was related to the hospital’s reputation.
But Su Ruanruan said: "Let me operate! I will take responsibility if there are any issues."
Dean Yin looked at her.
His gaze was complex.
For some reason, he was reminded of the gossip some female doctors in the laboratory department had mentioned.
About her and Bao Jingyan...
Dean Yin made a decision: "You lead the operation, I’ll be the assistant."
But before the surgery, there were some things, some people she still needed to deal with.
