Chapter 770: [(770)] Don’t want to suffer Chapter 770: [(770)] Don’t want to suffer “I’m at your hospital, you sent me a text about a girl who needs financial assistance. I know people from the Charity Foundation, and I happened to have some free time to come check on it,” Wu Lixuan said.
“She’s on the second floor in the cardiology department. I’ll go down and meet up with you,” Xie Wanying quickly said, wanting to avoid her childhood friend coming upstairs and running into Doctor Yin.
After receiving the message to go to the second floor, Wu Lixuan grabbed her bag and took the stairs for a quicker ascent rather than waiting for the elevator.
Upon reaching the second floor, she stood at the entrance to the cardiology ward, waiting for her friend to arrive.
The elevator doors on the other side opened, and a person walked out.
Seeing the face of that person, Wu Lixuan immediately turned away, gripping her handbag tightly.
Yin Fengchun paused beside her, glancing at her profile. Her eyelashes flickered, like the nervous flapping of a butterfly’s wings, and her hand clutched the bag so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
She remembered her friend just told him that he was a doctor and he should know what to do. Someone outside of neurology had said that the best way to deal with painful memories was not to avoid them but to recall them over and over again. In doing so, each recollection would form new memory chains with the outside world, which could actually lessen the burden of pain.
By avoiding him, she wanted to hold on to that painful memory forever.
He was a doctor, how could he allow her to keep that pain for a lifetime?
“Aren’t you supposed to go in there?”
What did he say? Wu Lixuan looked up, caught off guard as he grabbed her arm with one hand. Unable to shake him off, she was pulled by him into the cardiology department.
“What are you doing?” She was so agitated that she was about to curse.
Seeing her sudden agitation brought him pleasure. It served her right for previously ignoring him.
“Aren’t you here to see that girl?”
“You know?” Wu Lixuan was startled.
How could he not know? His colleague Xie Wanying had recently caught Professor Wei’s attention.
“What are you doing here?” Wu Lixuan was wary of him.
“Me?” He glanced back, smiling at her, “I’m here for work.”
Looking at his smile, which seemed as though he was grinding his teeth with restrained anger, Wu Lixuan felt an unsettling chill.
“Hey, isn’t that Yingying’s friend?” called Li Qi’an, emerging from the doctors’ office and seeing the two.
“Hello, Doctor Li,” Wu Lixuan said, grasping the lifeline like a drowning person, rushing over to her childhood friend’s classmate.
“What are you doing in the cardiology department?” Li Qi’an asked her.
“Yingying mentioned that there’s a girl whose family won’t provide her medical treatment. I know friends from the Charity Foundation, so I came over first to understand the situation and see if I could offer some help,” Wu Lixuan explained.
“You are truly a good person,” Li Qi’an said joyfully, “I originally thought you were just a tea seller.”
“I am indeed just a tea seller, but perhaps I know a few more businesspeople than you doctors do,” Wu Lixuan smiled.
Li Qi’an noticed Yin Fengchun approaching from behind her and greeted him, “Doctor Yin.”
“You canceled the meeting with urology, right?” Yin Fengchun asked.
“Yes. It’s Lin Hao’s patient,” Li Qi’an turned and called out to his classmate, “Lin Hao–urology’s professor is here.”
Lin Hao, who was at the computer working on medical records, turned around and replied, “I’ll go call Doctor Zhuang.”
He was an intern, working under his teacher.
Doctor Zhuang hurried over, surprised to see Yin Fengchun: “Why are you here?”
“Can’t I be?” Yin Fengchun raised an eyebrow in query.
“No, it’s not that. It’s just we didn’t ask for Professor Wei, so we thought they’d send some random doctor on duty.”
