A monthly follow-up, Xiao Lin brought Dan Qing to Yan University Hospital, and at the sa ti, he went to the dean’s office, apologetically handing his resignation letter to Dean Yu.
"Xiao Xiao, what’s the aning of this?" Yu Zhengbo was shocked by Xiao Lin’s sudden decision. It wasn’t easy for the hospital to get such an outstanding doctor, and since the successful kidney transplant surgery, the number of patients coming for treatnt had been increasing. How could he let him leave? "Is it because you feel guilty about the kidney source issue? It’s all been resolved, hasn’t it?"
"Dean Yu, it’s because I have so personal matters to deal with that will prevent from working for quite a while, so I don’t want to occupy a position in the ergency departnt. Let a doctor who needs it take the position, it won’t disrupt your ti and work efficiency." Xiao Lin spoke sincerely, and that’s indeed what he thought.
"It won’t disrupt, it won’t disrupt!" Yu Zhengbo quickly waved his hand, coming out from behind the desk, pulling Xiao Lin to sit on the sofa. "To be honest, your kidney transplant surgery was quite successful, and now several patients want to co to our hospital for such surgery, and several other hospitals want to cooperate with us. If you leave, I’ll be left in a bind."
Yu Zhengbo’s candid attitude made Xiao Lin feel embarrassed, but he had made up his mind and it couldn’t be changed. "Thank you, Dean, for increasing my visibility, but I’m afraid it will still be difficult for to stay here. Due to personal issues at ho, I must deal with them and don’t know how much ti it will take, so resigning is more appropriate."
Seeing that he could not persuade Xiao Lin, Yu Zhengbo didn’t insist any further, sighing regretfully. "How about this, I know you ca back from the United States, suppose you still stay in Yanjing, then I won’t accept your resignation letter, let’s just consider it unpaid leave, how’s that? You can do whatever you want, for however long you want, I’ll keep your position open for you, you can co back to work anyti."
Faced with Yu Zhengbo’s compromise, Xiao Lin gave a bitter smile. He longed for a low-key and ordinary life, but reality didn’t allow it. Not wanting to disappoint this goodwill, Xiao Lin nodded in agreent. "Dean Yu, please keep this letter. If I’m still in Yanjing and there’s a place here that needs , I’ll co and help as long as I have ti."
"That’s great!" Hearing Xiao Lin’s promise, Yu Zhengbo bead with joy. As long as he could keep this valuable asset, he was willing to make any concession.
After bidding farewell to Yu Zhengbo, Xiao Lin wanted to find Dan Qing. However, upon reaching the ergency building, he went to his office. Li Jingyi sat alone at her desk, and the ergency departnt felt cold and deserted.
"Sister Jing!" He forcefully patted Li Jingyi’s shoulders from behind, trying to spook her, but she showed no reaction, only turning her head to glare at him. "What’s wrong? Such a scary look, is it because I haven’t been here the past few days, and you missed ?"
"No!" Li Jingyi’s silence made Xiao Lin put away his playful deanor.
"Is it because of your son’s issues?" Xiao Lin hadn’t forgotten his promise to check on Li Jingyi’s son, but recent events had made him overlook it, and she must have so resentnt towards him now. "I’m sorry, I’ve been a bit busy lately and haven’t attended to this matter, please don’t be angry."
Li Jingyi smiled at Xiao Lin, showing she wasn’t angry. "It’s not, Xiao Xiao, don’t overthink."
"Isn’t it because of that?" Xiao Lin didn’t believe Li Jingyi was fine; won’s emotions were written all over their faces, making them clear as day. "Sister Jing, your unhappiness is all over your face. Tell what’s going on; is your son’s condition changing?" Xiao Lin asked tentatively; he sincerely didn’t want the child to be neglected due to his own delays, which would leave him deeply sorry to Li Jingyi.
"The child’s father took him away, saying there’s a doctor abroad he knows who can treat this illness." Just like her na suggests, Li Jingyi sat there quietly, her eyes gazing far, far away.
"Isn’t that a good thing? As long as there’s hope for saving the child, there’s a chance of surviving." Xiao Lin knew sowhat about Li Jingyi and her husband’s situation, but he hadn’t expected the man would co back.
"I know! He wants to sign the divorce agreent and the custody acknowledgent papers, and I’ve agreed. As long as he can save our son, I’ll do anything."
At this point, Li Jingyi couldn’t help but cry painfully, as if soone had cut a piece of her heart out with a knife. Her son was her lifeblood, and the man she loved had taken two pieces from her in one swoop; she could no longer heal such a wound on her own. For the sake of survival, she could only let it continue to bleed unstoppably.
"He used the child as a bargaining chip to demand your divorce?" Xiao Lin lost all initial goodwill, thinking the man sowhat responsible-minded. "What a bastard! Did you sign it?"
Seeing Xiao Lin’s strong reaction, Li Jingyi montarily forgot her grief. "The child left with him abroad yesterday, Xiao Xiao, you don’t have to be too concerned; I haven’t blad him. He ca back to help the child, so there’s nothing more for to dwell on."
Though she said that, Xiao Lin still saw Li Jingyi’s helplessness. Regarding his impending departure from the hospital, he couldn’t bring himself to speak. "I still want to thank you."
"Ah no, Sister Jing, I didn’t do anything; it makes feel embarrassed when you say that."
"Co and visit us when you have ti."
"You already know?"
"The dean just called, saying if you co by, I should persuade you not to leave the hospital. But I know you’re not an ordinary person; the hospital can’t hold back talents like you." Li Jingyi’s bitter smile tugged at Xiao Lin’s heart. She was a good woman; although she could be materialistic at tis, she was ultimately a kind person.
"I will."
Walking out of the ergency room, Xiao Lin sat alone in his QQ car, waiting for Dan Qing. The old man’s presence was elusive, while Mu Rongyun was behaving and doing his job, Xia Xue was busy with Xia Yusheng’s political affairs.
As for Xia Yuxuan, after learning the news of Fatty Wang’s death, she unexpectedly chose to commit suicide. The unsucceeded result was that the Xia family’s old man personally sent her abroad, feeling utterly embarrassed. Ha! Xiao Lin unexpectedly laughed at this outco, which for a woman, was truly unreasonable. (To be continued.
