Chapter 49

Fortunately, the nurse reported it in time, and the police arrived a few minutes later. Now, the police are more vigilant about medical disturbances and do not dare to be negligent after receiving an alarm. Fortunately, they arrived in time, and the situation did not escalate.

Gao Zhanting also let out a long sigh, "You, don't always rush to the front in such situations. People lack trust in each other nowadays, and the relationship between doctors and patients is tense. If things get out of hand, and someone beats you up, what can you do even if you are in the right?"

"You're blaming me too. If you knew it was dangerous, why did you rush over just now? What if you, a girl, got hurt? At that moment, you didn't even think to call the police. In the future, women shouldn't be the first to step forward in such situations," Qin Chuan said reproachfully.

Gao Zhanting felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard Qin Chuan's words. Her eyes had a different look when she looked at him. At this moment, she began to reflect on the tenderness Jia Chunpeng had shown her, the various ways he had been considerate. Now, when she thought about it, it all seemed off. Indeed, those who are involved are often confused, while onlookers see clearly. At that time, she had been deceived by Jia Chunpeng's false affection, thinking he was infinitely good to her. But now, when she thought about it calmly, she felt something was wrong. Jia Chunpeng's false affection was not genuine. Unfortunately, Gao Zhanting was inexperienced at the time and could not tell the difference.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan asked, seeing Gao Zhanting lost in thought.

"Nothing," Gao Zhanting's face turned slightly red for no reason, and she quickly changed the subject, "How is the patient?"

"Originally, he just said he had back pain. I examined him and found no abnormalities; his lumbar vertebrae were normal, and there were no fractures. Later, I examined his head and found no wounds, but there was a bruise from a collision. So, I asked the patient to have a full examination to confirm if there were any injuries to his head or spine," Qin Chuan said.

"Handling accident victims must be cautious. Don't try to save money for the patient or the perpetrator. We in the emergency department have seen many cases. Patients' complaints can easily be incomplete. Some serious injuries might be overlooked by the patients themselves. Once, Old He had an incident similar to what happened today. The patient came in complaining of foot pain, with no other injuries. After looking at the X-rays and finding no fractures, he prescribed some medicine and discharged the patient. A few hours later, the patient died at home. It turned out he had internal bleeding in his brain. It was unclear whether he was injured after leaving the hospital or before arriving. The key was that he didn't have a head examination at the time. It was determined to be a liability accident, and Old He almost lost his job," Gao Zhanting said.

"Yes, I'm also very relieved. Fortunately, you reminded me earlier. Otherwise, if I had only listened to the patient's complaints, I might have overlooked the head injury. Or, I might have listened to the perpetrator and not examined the head. That would have been a big problem, and the patient would have been in great danger after going home," Qin Chuan thought back, still feeling a bit nervous.

"Compared to us, you are much stronger. You've only been working for a few months, and you've already become a star in our hospital," Gao Zhanting said.

"Zhanting, are you tired? If you are, go rest. I'll keep an eye on things here," Qin Chuan said.

"It's fine. I can't sleep anyway. I haven't been feeling sleepy these past few days," Gao Zhanting looked a bit haggard after a few days.

"Even a short nap will make you feel better. Don't be too hard on yourself," Qin Chuan advised.

"No, no, let's chat. By the way, how are things with Lingling?" Gao Zhanting asked.

"Zhanting, tell me, is it hard to forget someone after a relationship ends?" Qin Chuan asked.

Gao Zhanting smiled helplessly, "Don't ask me about this. I've just realized that the relationship I experienced was just a mirage I created in my mind. Everything looked so beautiful, but it was all an illusion. What we had wasn't love. Now, seeing this person clearly, I realize that what I experienced wasn't love. I fell in love with the person I imagined in my heart, not Jia Chunpeng. Now that it's all over, I feel a sense of relief. So, I can't answer your question. Tell me about the person you can't forget."

"She was my classmate. We dated for a year or two, and I thought we would never be apart. But when our relationship expanded to include our families, problems arose. My parents are old, and I hope to be close to them after I start working. Besides, it's very difficult to get into a big hospital in the provincial capital now. Even our central hospital is hard to get into. At the time, there was a disagreement between us. Most importantly, her parents didn't approve of us. Later, I saw her on a blind date with her parents, and the other person had excellent conditions, making me feel inferior. Her mother later talked to me and told me she had made her choice. In a fit of anger, I returned to Tanshan. She was even more upset that I made the decision without consulting her. But later, I found out that she had gone on the blind date out of necessity," Qin Chuan said.

"Why didn't you talk to her properly?" Gao Zhanting asked.

"She won't come here, and I can't leave my parents. No matter what, these are unsolvable problems. You know, my parents had me late in life. They are already retired. I don't want to be too far from them," Qin Chuan shook his head.

"Every family has its own problems. But I still think you are too chauvinistic. You made such a decision without considering her feelings. If you had discussed it with her, things might not have turned out as you thought. Do you want to reconcile?" Gao Zhanting asked.

"I don't know. That's why I keep my distance from Lingling. She is a good girl, and I don't want to hurt her," Qin Chuan's mood was complex.

"To be honest, Lingling is quite suitable for you. But matters of the heart can't be faked. It's not just about whether you are suitable for each other. You need to figure it out for yourself," Gao Zhanting seemed to understand the complexities of relationships better now. Just as patients understand the value of health more than healthy people, those who have been hurt in love understand the meaning of love more than those who are in a sweet relationship.

For a moment, they had nothing to say. Gao Zhanting closed her eyes, "I'll take a nap."

"You should go lie down. I'll keep an eye on things. I'll call you if anything happens," Qin Chuan said.

This time, Gao Zhanting didn't refuse. She got up and walked to the doctors' rest room. Qin Chuan stood up and walked out.

Early in the morning, Wang Xiaoli, Shang Wenxiu's mother, asked, "You're off this Saturday, right?"

"Yes. You're not going to arrange another blind date for me, are you? I told you, I can handle my own affairs. No need for you to worry," Shang Wenxiu said.

"If you could handle it, would I have to go through all this trouble? This time, it's a teacher from Lushan University who just returned from abroad with a Ph.D. Lushan University is giving him excellent benefits. Being a teacher is great; they have higher qualities than most people, stable jobs, and more holidays. Unlike doctors, they don't have to work day and night. I opposed your relationship with your classmate because if both of you were doctors, you would both be working day and night, and it would be difficult to solve many family problems. That's why I..." Wang Xiaoli almost let it slip.

Shang Wenxiu's ears were sharp, "What do you mean? Did you secretly talk to Qin Chuan? Did he leave without saying goodbye?"

"Since it's all in the past, why bring it up? He decided to go back to Tanshan on his own, didn't he? Would you go to Tanshan for him?" Wang Xiaoli asked.

"So, you did talk to him. Then you arranged a blind date for me and made sure Qin Chuan knew about it?" Shang Wenxiu asked.

"How did you find out?" Wang Xiaoli said.

Shang Wenxiu glanced at Wang Xiaoli and walked out coldly.

"I'm doing all this for your own good," Wang Xiaoli hurried out, as she still had to go to work.

Shang Wenxiu checked the time on her phone. The screensaver was still a photo of her and Qin Chuan by the Xiang River, taken just as Qin Chuan had kissed her cheek.

The phone rang, and Shang Wenxiu was startled, almost dropping her phone.

"Wenxiu, it's been a while. Shouldn't we get some classmates who live nearby to gather? How about during the National Day holiday?" The call was from Luo Xiaofang, her college roommate and close friend.

"Sure. I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you? Are you busy?" Shang Wenxiu smiled when she heard the familiar voice.

"Should we invite Qin Chuan and Lü Shulei? They are also in Tanshan," Luo Xiaofang mentioned Qin Chuan for some reason.

"Whatever you want," Shang Wenxiu felt a bit flustered when she heard Qin Chuan's name, her heart skipping a beat.

"Are you and Qin Chuan really over?" Luo Xiaofang asked.

"Did he make the decision, so should I run after him?" Shang Wenxiu still had some resentment.

"Don't pretend. I know what you're thinking. But, Wenxiu, you need to act fast. Have you watched TV recently?" Luo Xiaofang said.

"No, what's up?" Shang Wenxiu was puzzled.

"Your Qin Chuan is on TV, even on the news. He's a star doctor now. If you don't act quickly, he might be snatched away by some doctor at the Tanshan Central Hospital, and you'll be too late to cry," Luo Xiaofang warned.

"What happened? How did he get on TV?" Shang Wenxiu asked curiously.

"Are you worried now?" Luo Xiaofang couldn't keep secrets and explained everything in detail.
