Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander
Chapter 23: Slap, Slap, Slap
CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23: SLAP, SLAP, SLAP
Li Zhaodi felt relieved; having offended Doctor Bai, she had no future in the hospital anyway—being kicked out was inevitable! She’d deal with the aftermath later.
Someone went out to spread the news.
Sun Chan stopped him and said to Bai Fanglan, "Everything needs a basis. Han Dong was wrong to hit someone, and I will make him apologize to Li Zhaodi. But it’s unacceptable for her to have almost harmed a patient; I won’t tolerate this false accusation."
"Do you have evidence to prove your innocence?" Bai Fanglan sneered, "You say it’s not true, and so it’s not? While caring for the patient, there was a man nearby, as he himself admitted, right? If all caregivers were like you, how could patients survive? Who knows what you two did behind everyone’s back; ugh, disgusting!"
Sun Chan trembled with anger; this woman was actually using such matters to smear her name!
Before she could speak, Han Dong immediately said, "Darling, you know I like you, so why be so jealous over something so trivial? And you’ve involved Sun Chan too?"
"What did you say?" Bai Fanglan shrieked, "Shut up!"
Han Dong chuckled, "Last time you tried to hook up with me when I sprained my ankle, and now you’re jealous again? Although you like me so much, I can’t date you because I don’t like you. Feelings can’t be forced."
Everyone around burst out laughing. Bai Fanglan’s face turned pale; she thought she was articulate, but faced with someone so shameless, she was at a loss.
"Sun Chan, I won’t argue with you. Look at how you harmed the patient like this; better hand it to the police for handling!" She said, turning to leave.
This time, Sun Chan had already figured out the flaw and coldly said, "Wait a minute! Doctor Bai, being a doctor, you should know, if a cardiac surgery patient was given water, when would such a reaction occur—shouldn’t it be acute? When I looked after this person, it was around eight in the morning. If I truly fed water, how could it be that the symptoms appeared in the middle of the night? Does that match up in time?"
Bai Fanglan’s face changed immediately, never expecting Sun Chan to say something so professional.
Li Zhaodi also didn’t expect Sun Chan to speak like this and raised her head to look at her, half her face swollen from Han Dong’s slap.
Sun Chan continued, "Doctor Bai doesn’t know? Then let’s find another doctor to ask. I don’t believe all doctors are as ignorant and incompetent!"
Bai Fanglan raged, "What did you say? You’re just a caregiver; what right do you have to slander me?"
"How did you slander me just now? Though I’m not as good as you, I still know to do things with a clear conscience. Clearly, you found the problem, but to drive me away, you pretended not to hear. Not letting me find other doctors to testify?"
Bai Fanglan gritted her teeth, then suddenly sneered, "Fine! Go find another doctor, see who will help you!"
She couldn’t believe it; these were all her colleagues, would they really offend her for a caregiver like Sun Chan without reason?
Han Dong said, "I’ll help you ask. There’s not just one hospital in this world. Our family knows a few experts; we’ll help you find out."
Bai Fanglan snorted disdainfully, "Who are you? Just a hooligan, and you claim to know doctors?"
"Auntie, no need to be so harsh. I just disliked your crudeness and won’t date you, no need to insult me like this."
Bai Fanglan nearly fainted with anger; what did he call me? Auntie!
Han Dong laughed, "My father is Han Jinshan. Got it now? I’ll immediately tell my mom to come and testify for Sun Chan."
Bai Fanglan’s face went through a dramatic change, her heart involuntarily contracted.
She never expected Sun Chan to be connected to Han Jinshan’s family!
Their family, renowned nationwide since the Republic of China era, donated all their property and shops to the country during liberation, avoiding catastrophe twenty years later, and instead skyrocketed, with the patriarch even becoming a deputy mayor.
After the economic reform, Han’s descendants returned to business, establishing themselves as premier entrepreneurs in the provincial city.
Han Jinshan was a standout in the Han family, connected with people in the provincial city, with relatives linked to the military region.
Meanwhile, his wife, Tian Jinhua, dubbed the ’First Knife in Surgery,’ commands trust; more importantly, the relationship between the Han and Gu families, if Gu Junming finds out about this...
While hesitating, Han Dong had already stepped forward, "Whose office phone can I use to call my mom and have her testify for Sun Chan?"
Bai Fanglan didn’t know what to do, and by then Han Dong had reached an office door, being held back from entering.
"Let me go! I need to make a call. Then call the police and see who dares to bully Sun Chan!"
Seeing Han Dong fight so hard for her, Sun Chan felt inexplicably touched inside; he might seem carefree, but he was helpful at critical moments. Yet, what about Li Zhaodi? Usually wouldn’t raise her voice but dared to harm like this; truly can’t judge a book by its cover.
By this time, the patient’s family also understood and collectively grasped Li Zhaodi: "Who fed the water?"
"No, not me!"
"What kind of person are you! Can’t admit what you did, trying to frame someone else?"
Aunt Wang was so angry she slapped her, "You’re killing me! How could you do such a thing!"
"Auntie, help me... boohoo..." Li Zhaodi cried incessantly, pleadingly looking at Sun Chan, hinting for her to intercede.
But Sun Chan looked the other way; she’s no saint, why forgive you for doing such a thing!
Amidst the ongoing chaos, the surgery room door opened, and everyone rushed over.
The doctor said, "It’s okay now. Post-op care needs attention, absolutely no water can be given, or there could be severe reactions in a short time."
The patient sighed in relief, walked inside, and one of the women first bowed in apology to Sun Chan; Aunt Wang, too, apologized to her. Sun Chan smiled.
"It’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it."
The family pointed at Li Zhaodi, "You get out! We don’t need you anymore!"
Li Zhaodi went limp, slumped to the ground, "Will anyone hire me again? What am I to do, Aunt Wang, you must help me!"
Aunt Wang couldn’t bother with her, went up to Sun Chan, "This whole thing..."
Sun Chan said, "I’m alright, you take her to find a job elsewhere, I won’t mention it."
Aunt Wang sighed, pulling Li Zhaodi up.
Li Zhaodi didn’t look back, hanging her head as she walked away.
Han Dong, furious, said, "Not even a ’sorry’? I really want to fix her!"
"Forget it." She pulled Han Dong’s arm, preventing him from going over to hit.
Bai Fanglan had long slipped away, having not only failed to drive Sun Chan out, but also embarrassed herself for personal grievances—truly a humiliating scene.
