92 She Is the Miracle Doctor
“I see that the two of you are in cahoots! I knew you were a stiff-necked recalcitrant!” Doctor Tian hurriedly found fault after seeing how the situation turned out. “No wonder you’d send a near-death pregnant woman here! So you intend to pull me down? Lu, do you think you can pete against me like this?”
Doctor Lu lost his cool and bellowed. “Tian, stop spouting bullshit out of that filthy mouth of yours! Not only did you choose to watch the patient die, but you would even slander me! Do you even know who she is? This young lady is the one who stopped the plague! The one who saved Yuanjiang County, Zhao Chuchu!
Rub your sleazy eyes clean and look properly! Does a miracle doctor like her need to use underhanded tactics against the likes of you? Did you think you were worthy of being an opponent against someone of her caliber? What a nerve! Stop overselling yourself and have some sense of shame!”
At his words, everyone in the medical hall stared at Zhao Chuchu with an unbelievable look.
“What did you say?” Doctor Tian became nervous.
Everyone in Yuanjiang County knew Zhao Chuchu shared a medical prescription that helped stop the plague.
He followed the local authorities to the towns and saved the people at that time with the prescription, but he had never seen Zhao Chuchu.
“Hmph… What a snobbish elitist. If it weren’t for a miracle doctor like Zhao Chuchu, do you think a pregnant woman suffering from difficult labor could be saved in such a short time?” Doctor Lu sneered. After a while, he turned to look at Zhao Chuchu gently. “If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have rushed over like this.”
“This old fart often watched his patients die because he was afraid to be sued. Sometimes the patients could still be saved, but he’d rather let them die so that he could avoid a medical lawsuit due to his negligence!” Doctor Lu explained.
Zhao Chuchu uttered, “I can tell.”
Following that, Doctor Lu turned to the crowd and retorted, “‘What did you mean by Tian is the best doctor in Yuanjiang County? Chuchu is the miracle doctor here! Without her, all of you could have been burned to death!”
After knowing the young lady before them was Zhao Chuchu, the ones who accused her, saying she was after the money, were all reddened in shame.
“Now that Doctor Lu is here, why don’t you send your wife to his place? Although he has temper issues, he has medical ethics. He will look after your wife. She’s still in danger, so she can’t be sent home yet.” Zhao Chuchu peered at that man.
The man responded, “Okay. I’ll listen to your instructions.”
At that time, the owner of Spring Medical Hall regained his senses and uttered, “Since the patient was saved at our medical hall, why don’t we leave her here? I will take care of your wife properly. It isn’t good to let a woman who just delivered a child move around too much.”
He needed to save himself from the situation. After all, he couldn’t afford to make an enemy of Zhao Chuchu.
“Doctor Zhao, I was wrong earlier. Will you please forgive me?” The owner lowered his stance.
Zhao Chuchu raised a corner of her lips. “Why if I say no?”
The owner drew in a sharp breath.
At first, she thought the owner’s attitude was acceptable, but it proved to be wrong. He had the aptitude for running a business but was a poor judge of character.
“Doctor Zhao, it was all my fault earlier. Let me apologize to you now. Please leave the mother and child here with us. I promise to take good care of them to make up for my insolence just now,” Doctor Tian lowered his head and said.
“I’m sorry, Doctor Zhao.”
“Please don’t bother yourself with the likes of us, Doctor Zhao.”
“Please forgive us, Doctor Zhao.”
…
The rest of them apologized after Doctor Tian did.
Zhao Chuchu smiled casually. “It is too late. Your apologies have no value anymore. Listen carefully! Just because you apologized doesn’t mean I have to accept it!”
