"Hello everyone, sorry for the trouble."
At first, I didn’t know their names, which was quite awkward.
Luckily, they introduced themselves voluntarily:
"No need to be polite, sister-in-law. My family name is Huo, with a single name Si. This is Mr. Hu, Hu Yunqi. We are partners at a law firm."
"My family name is Lu, Lu Jing."
Hearing this, they both smiled:
"Sister-in-law, no need to introduce yourself further, we already know you, and have known about you for quite some time."
All of Lu Jing’s confusion was written on her face.
"Six years ago, we learned about you through Old Jiang."
Lu Jing suddenly felt, how come so many people know about her and her matter with Jiang Ye from six years ago?
And yet, she didn’t recognize any of them.
It was rather strange.
But it was understandable.
Different social circles, after all, Lu Jing was more of a homebody and didn’t know many people.
But Jiang Ye was different. He was the kind of person who could make friends wherever he went, a natural radiance among crowds; people always approached him.
As Lu Jing was reflecting on this, the people opposite her opened their mouths again, grinning:
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. We have already understood the situation thoroughly. Leave everything to us from now on."
Naturally, Lu Jing had no objections.
However, she still asked:
"Will there be any liability?"
"No, not with us here."
Even if the hospital’s legal department tried to shirk responsibility, they’d have to see if they could defeat these two first.
But, Lu Jing cared about more than just herself.
"What about my colleagues?"
The two of them clearly hesitated briefly, being lawyers, of course, they only bore responsibilities for their own client; they wouldn’t bother with others.
But since the sister-in-law was asking, they answered truthfully.
"It might be, or it might not be; it mainly depends on what the hospital’s legal department decides."
In plain words, it’s about whether the hospital would willingly shoulder the responsibility.
Additionally, this incident wasn’t a medical accident caused by a doctor. Even if there was liability, it wouldn’t be significant, at most, they would make a nominal compensation on humanitarian grounds.
Hearing this, Lu Jing still breathed a sigh of relief.
But she still felt uneasy. After all, she herself was a doctor. What if something happened again in the future? What then?
Unless she stopped being a doctor, she could completely avoid it.
But, was that possible?
They hadn’t talked long before Officer Zhu asked them to split up, to avoid giving others something to talk about.
Lu Jing returned to the conference room with a frown, making everyone inside think something was wrong:
"Doctor Lu, did someone cause you trouble?" they asked.
Lu Jing shook her head:
"No, I just went to see the lawyers."
"The hospital’s lawyers?"
"No, they were hired by my husband."
It wasn’t good to say they were acquaintances.
At this, everyone gathered around:
"Doctor Lu, what did the lawyers say? Will... will we have to bear responsibility?"
Lu Jing pursed her lips, she really didn’t want to speak, but she couldn’t just keep silent:
"The lawyer said that even if there’s culpability, our liability won’t be significant. It mainly depends on what the hospital’s legal department decides." Thıs text ıs hosted at NoveIꜰire.net
Who knows what choice the hospital will make?
Since the incident, the hospital hadn’t even contacted everyone, right?
It really gave one the feeling of being abandoned.
But, could that really happen?
"Everyone, don’t worry too much just yet. I still believe we won’t have a major problem. The national judicial identification department will issue the fairest report; I still have faith in our country’s laws and regulations!"
