Chapter 117 Stop pretending to be a good person!

As soon as I stepped into the emergency room corridor, I heard a loud argument mixed with a child's cries.

"My son lost so much blood, the doctor should have examined him first!"

"No way! Are you even being reasonable? My son is unconscious from the fall. Your son is bleeding, but he's still conscious. He's clearly not as seriously injured as my son. The doctor should examine my son first!"

"My son can see it first!"

"My son!"

……

Amidst the arguing, Lin Shuyao and her two companions approached and first saw Su Wan, her hair disheveled, blocking the doorway to the doctor's office. She clung tightly to the doorframe, preventing the doctor from leaving, her face contorted with rage: "I don't care! If my son isn't seen first, I'll block this place and not let him out!"

Another woman at the door, her hair disheveled, reached out and forcefully pulled at Su Wan's hands, which were gripping the doorframe, and even rammed into her, trying to move her aside: "Are you sick in the head?! Get off me! Let the doctor out! I've never seen such a shameless parent!"

The doctor in the white coat inside was also anxiously trying to persuade Su Wan: "Comrade, please be rational. I understand your feelings as a parent, but right now I'm the only neurologist on duty in the hospital. I can only see them one by one. The child who is unconscious is indeed more seriously ill. I'll see him first, and then I'll have the nurse stop the bleeding for your son. We won't delay either."

"No way!" Su Wan was unmoved, shaking her head firmly. "Didn't you see the huge bump on my son's head and how much blood he's bleeding? Her son is unconscious, but he hasn't bled at all. My son's injury is clearly much more serious!"

"Comrade, with brain injuries like this, it's not necessarily true that whoever bleeds more is more seriously injured. They might also have internal bleeding, in which case the condition can't be delayed any longer!"

The neurologist explained helplessly, "You tried to pull Su Wan's hand away, but as soon as you touched her, she immediately yelled that you were being a pervert. So the doctor had to pull his hand back and stand aside anxiously."

Su Wan was blocking the office doorway. Not far away, two children were lying on a bench in the corridor. One of them was pale and had his eyes closed. The other was Su Wan's son, with a large bump on his head, blood flowing down his head and soaking his clothes. He was crying loudly in pain, his face contorted in agony.

In this era, hospitals were not as well-staffed as they are in later years. Now, an emergency room only had one doctor and one nurse on duty. The nurse also had to take care of patients from other departments, so she was busy like a spinning top. Unfortunately, there were an unusually large number of patients tonight, which led to the situation that Lin Shuyao was seeing.

Two patients are vying for one doctor.

Moreover, both patients had head injuries, which other doctors couldn't handle; only neurologists could manage them.

Upon seeing Cheng Zheng, Su Wan rushed over as if she'd seen a savior: "Brother Zheng! You're finally here! Quickly, get a doctor to save Hu Zi! Hu Zi is bleeding so much!"

Cheng Zheng turned aside to avoid her touch, "Calm down first."

After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Shuyao. She was now his girlfriend, and he didn't want her to misunderstand his relationship with Su Wan.

Lin Shuyao casually looked away, her gaze falling on the silent child lying on the bench. The child looked more seriously injured than Hu Zi, his lips were purple. The child's parents also came forward and hugged him, sobbing helplessly.

Just then, hurried footsteps approached, and a middle-aged man came running up, panting, and staggered towards the bench: "Xiao Jun! Xiao Jun!"

The woman, who was sobbing, saw him, turned around, and threw herself into his arms: "Old Fang, why did you take so long to come... Our son has been unconscious, and we can't wake him up no matter what we do. I'm so scared... That woman won't let the doctor save our son..."

"Who's stopping me?!" The man's eyes reddened with anger. He rolled up his sleeves and turned around, but his gaze suddenly froze. "Little Shen?"

Lin Shuyao was also stunned: "Manager Fang?"

"You won't let the doctor see my son Xiaojun?" The next second, Manager Fang's face darkened. He didn't care whether they were acquaintances or not; he wouldn't let anyone who bullied his son and wife get away with it.

"It's not her!" Manager Fang's wife quickly tugged at the man's sleeve, then pointed at Su Wan, "It's her!"

Just moments ago, Su Wan was acting like a shrew when dealing with other women, but now that the man has arrived, her arrogance immediately subsided. She stood meekly next to Cheng Zheng, saying, "Brother Zheng..."

Cheng Zheng distanced himself from her and looked at Manager Fang. He had seen him at the restaurant and knew his identity. Manager Fang saw Cheng Zheng's military uniform and imposing demeanor and thought he had encountered a tough opponent. He was rubbing his hands together, ready to fight. But Cheng Zheng said nothing, walked towards the doctor, and said, "Please take care of the unconscious child first. Let another doctor handle the external injuries."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bypassed Su Wan, rushing towards the unconscious child.

"No! Brother Zheng, how could you do this!" Su Wan glared at Cheng Zheng in disbelief, then tried to chase after him to stop the doctor. Manager Fang wasn't about to give her the chance, immediately grabbing her tightly and saying fiercely, "If you dare delay my son's treatment, I'll kill you!"

"Brother Zheng!" Su Wan was stunned by the fierce look in his eyes and had no choice but to turn around and seek Cheng Zheng's protection. However, Cheng Zheng did not even look at her and turned to call the nurse.

Su Wan's expression instantly turned ashen.

The emergency room nurse called other doctors and nurses to come and help.

The child who was unconscious was in serious condition and was rushed into the operating room. Manager Fang and his wife, unable to argue with Su Wan, went to the operating room to wait.

Tiger was taken to the clinic to have his wounds bandaged, and he was still crying loudly when he was taken in.

Su Wan was heartbroken and was about to go in when the nurse, who had just witnessed her outburst, stopped her, fearing it would interfere with the treatment: "Comrade, please wait outside."

Su Wan's face turned pale with heartache, and she was about to follow her inside. The nurse, who had witnessed her earlier outburst, feared that her presence would interfere with the treatment and quickly stopped her, saying, "Comrade, please wait outside."

boom--

The door to the consultation room closed in front of her.

The crying inside subsided instantly, and you could vaguely hear the doctor gently coaxing the child: "Don't cry, okay? Uncle will be gentle..."

"Tiger! Tiger!" Su Wan rushed to the door and pounded on it a few times, but the door didn't budge. Her pounding slowed down, and finally her hand fell limply to her side, as if all her strength had been drained away.

She slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Cheng Zheng, then shifting to Lin Shuyao beside her, looking at her several times before finally settling on Cheng Zheng's face.

"Zheng-ge," she said, her voice trembling, "why? Why did you let the doctors save others first? Tiger's dad and you are comrades-in-arms who have shared life and death! How could you side with others at such a critical moment?"

Cheng Zheng looked at her calmly: "When medical resources are strained, priority is given to critically ill patients. I thought you should understand that."

"Severe?" Su Wan's voice sharpened as she pointed at the examination room door. "Can't you see how much blood Hu Zi lost? He has such a huge bump on his head! That child was just unconscious, he didn't bleed a drop, how come Hu Zi is less seriously injured? What makes you think that? If Hu Zi's brain is damaged due to delayed treatment, and something bad happens to him, how are we supposed to live the rest of our lives...?"

"Waaaaah..."

Su Wan broke down in tears, her shoulders shaking violently.

Cheng Zheng stood there with his hands at his sides, his face cold, his thin lips pressed into a thin line. He was probably considering Su Wan's status and the child's current condition, and was afraid that he would say something that would upset Su Wan.

Lin Shuyao suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

In the end, Tiger was just his comrade's son, not his own. He had already done more than enough by helping him run errands, arranging work, and solving problems.

It's not his fault that the child got hurt.

It's not his fault that he suffered from aftereffects.

Su Wan was crying so hard, she must have thought Cheng Zheng had done something wrong to her!

Lin Shuyao stared at Su Wan, her voice low but clear:

"Comrade Su Wan, in medicine, it's common knowledge that unconscious patients are in more serious condition than conscious patients. The doctor just explained this to you, which is why the unconscious child needed to be treated first. Moreover, he didn't say he would ignore your son; he instructed the nurses to bandage your son first. By blocking the doctor from treating him, you're only making both children's conditions worse. I understand your emotions because your child is injured, but I don't think Comrade Cheng Zheng did anything wrong."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Zheng turned his head to look at her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect her to stand up for him. He was happy, and the coldness in his eyes turned into a very soft color. He moved closer to her without making a sound, and his fingertips gently touched the back of her hand.

Lin Shuyao felt that warmth, but instead of flinching, she turned to meet his gaze, her lips curving slightly.

Su Wan noticed their subtle actions.

She abruptly wiped away her tears, staring at Lin Shuyao through her teary eyes. Her gaze was like a poisoned needle, as if she wanted to pierce several holes in Lin Shuyao.

"Shen Qing, stop pretending to be a good person! Don't think I didn't see you exchanging glances with Xiao Jun's parents. You two know each other! It was because you whispered in Zheng Ge's ear that he sided with them and made the doctor save their son first! Now you're standing here making sarcastic remarks, aren't you just trying to show off how sensible and reasonable you are?"
