"No, I don’t want your help," Huang Yue replied as she gritted her teeth.
"Fine, if that’s what you want, what else is there for me to say?" Huo Mian smiled bitterly.
"Sorry, Senior Sister, I know that you’re good to me, but I’ve got too much to worry about..."
"No, you don’t need to apologize to me. Zhixin is the one whom you let down... I disapproved of you two dating back then because you were both too young and also because your way of handling things was immature, and I knew that you two would hurt each other... But Zhixin fell hard for you, and as his older sister, I couldn’t bear to tear you two apart... I won’t blame you for how things turned out. I only hope that you no longer keep Zhixin on a leash. If you want to break up, just tell him, don’t make him wait around like a dummy."
"Okay... I will tell him tonight," Huang Yue said with difficulty.
Huo Mian glanced at her. "Then take care of yourself... and... if you need my help, call me by the end of the day... or else, I wouldn’t interfere with any of your problems later on."
Huo Mian wasn’t merciless, she was just being swift and determined with her decisions...
Actions and behavior had to be straightforward. Huang Yue refused Huo Mian’s help because she was scared of offending that thug.
She also didn’t want to continue dating Zhixin, because she was scared of that person’s threats.
She was too cowardly, so scared that she was overcautious and indecisive, so scared that she would give up her boyfriend she loved to satisfy a scumbag.
That was her own choice...
If she missed the chance Huo Mian gave her, then Huo Mian would never help her again.
Huo Mian gave her a chance; if Huang Yue didn’t take it, then she was no longer worth it.
"I’m sorry, Senior Sister," Huang Yue’s said again.
Huang Yue’s words annoyed Huo Mian...
She turned around and left the hospital. Then, she got into her Audi R8 and drove back to South Side at the speed of lightning.
She gave the medicine to Shuai Shuai’s physician at the Internal Medicine Department and then returned to her own office to organize documents.
"Dr. Huo, someone made an appointment with you, do you want to see him?" asked the assistant nurse.
Huo Mian looked down at her watch and then nodded, "Sure, I have time for one more."
"Okay."
Then, the nurse brought the patient in...
"What is it? Tell me about it first," Huo Mian quietly asked as she looked at the data on her computer.
That person didn’t say anything...
"Why are you...?" As Huo Mian raised her head to scold the patient, she was immediately stunned by who she saw.
It was Ning Zhiyuan...
"Why are you here?"
"Mian... congratulations, you’ve become a doctor."
Ning Zhiyuan looked very weary; he was unshaven, and his jacket was old and worn out.
He didn’t seem to be doing so well...
"Thanks," Huo Mian said faintly.
"Did my parents come to see you a few days ago?"
"Yes, they couldn’t find you, so they came to find me."
"Yes, I called them afterward... Thanks for hosting them for me and giving them money."
"No problem. They were very nice to me as well, and I treat them like family." Huo Mian still felt heartbroken at the thought of the earnest couple...
"I... after I divorced Wu Xiaoxue, Director Wu fired me."
"I heard that it was because you made a mistake during a cataract surgery," Huo Mian said as she stared at him.
Ning Zhiyuan nodded...
"I was very unsettled at that time. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t focus... After I left First Hospital, I found a job at a small private clinic."
"Then where are you living now? Auntie Ning said that you rented out your old place."
"Yes, I’m living at the accommodation the hospital provided. It’s cheaper that way."
"Oh..." Huo Mian nodded.
"My mental state isn’t very well lately... can you give me some prescription drugs?"
Ning Zhiyuan suddenly said...
"You shouldn’t rely on drugs. You still have to adjust on your own... You’re a doctor, so you should know that."
Huo Mian didn’t want to hurt him, because a lot of antipsychotic drugs can make people dumber.
"Then can you lend me some money? I’m in quite a tight spot recently," Ning Zhiyuan suddenly asked.
