Chapter 962: [962] Her decision was not easy
Fu Xinheng clasped his hands under his jaw, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
“Teacher Lu,” Tao Zhijie explained gently and persuasively, “I’ve arranged for us to stay at a clinic for a routine check-up. Once we clearly understand your physical condition, everyone can rest assured.”
“No need.” Teacher Lu glared at him. “If there’s a problem, I’ll seek dical help, otherwise why should I stay in a hospital? Is a hospital a good place? You’re a doctor; you know better than anyone that hospitals have the most germs and disinfectants. Am I going to the hospital to get sick when I’m not?”
Footsteps echoed in the corridor, and a person brushed past Doctor Zhong and asked, “Where’s Teacher Lu?”
Teacher Lu looked up and saw Yu Xuexian coming, and couldn’t help feeling alard, “Why are more people coming? Who called you?”
Yu Xuexian stopped in his tracks, his forehead covered in sweat, anxiously raising his voice, “How could I not co when I heard the teacher was in ergency?”
“I accompanied soone to the ergency room, I’m not here for myself. Go check on Xiaobing. She’s pregnant and needs special attention,” Teacher Lu redirected the conversation.
“Xiaobing was sent for a check-up; I t her on the way here and know she’s fine. Teacher, please, stay for a check-up. If you don’t want the Hepatobiliary Surgery Departnt, you can stay in our internal dicine departnt,” Yu Xuexian gestured.
“As you said, staying in any departnt is the sa, so I will not stay!” Teacher Lu seed angry, further solidifying his decision.
“What’s her condition?” Yu Xuexian was forced to ask others, “Who first noticed sothing wrong with the teacher?”
Xie Wanying was once again the focus of everyone’s attention.
“Why are you all looking at her!” Teacher Lu shouted.
Teacher Lu’s pressure on her was evident.
“Xie Wanying, were you the first to notice the teacher feeling unwell? Tell us, what was his condition at the ti?” Yu Xuexian pointed at her, his gesture resembling the Teaching Whip.
After a mont, Xie Wanying replied, “The teacher had a stomach ache.”
“I told you, it was too hot, a bit of intestinal cramps, it’s fine now. Don’t make it difficult for her,” Teacher Lu said brusquely to them, like he was giving instructions and making demands.
Being students, they had to listen to the teacher, but it wasn’t right to blindly follow everything. Thus, Teacher Lu’s words did not dissipate the piercing gaze Senior Brother Yu fixed on her.
Senior Brother Yu was glaring intensely at her, demanding she clarify everything right there.
Senior Tao’s arched eyes darkened, probably because he was also extrely dissatisfied with her earlier response.
The ergency report surely ntioned the patient’s stomach ache. They questioned her to get a precise location, aiming to facilitate further diagnostic speculation. Essentially, her response disclosed nothing; she was just covering for the patient.
Covering for a patient in front of two seniors, and not just any patient.
The group of seniors, seeing she had no intention of opening her sealed lips, instantly viewed her with incredulity, wondering what she was thinking.
Tao Zhijie’s face turned grim as he suddenly lowered his voice and commanded her, “Co with to my office.”
“Yes,” Xie Wanying followed Senior Tao out.
“What are you making her do?” Teacher Lu beca anxious and shouted after Tao Zhijie’s retreating figure.
“Teacher,” Tao Zhijie turned around, his deanor still calm and respectful as he explained to the teacher, “She is my student; I am taking her to discuss academics and work.”
“Are you sure you’re not giving her a hard ti?” Teacher Lu cast a doubtful glance at him.
