Tang Yuxin placed the tray on the table, then approached the man.
“I’m here to remove your stitches.”
The man lay there tranquilly, his face covered with grim scars, but his complexion was unremarkable. He looked like he had lost all interest in life, his eyes devoid of any brilliance. He seemed oblivious to everything and incapable of resisting.
However, Tang Yuxin didn’t feel any sympathy.
Those who are pitiful must have a detestable side.
And those who are detestable — might they at times also be pitiable?
Tang Yuxin undid the man’s clothes and removed the stitches from his chest wound. The healing was quite satisfactory, apart from the large scar that would remain, his heart continued to throb in his chest, stubbornly clinging to life.
“I saw her,” Tang Yuxin confided as she removed his stitches. The man didn’t react, but his heart seemed to beat faster.
“They’re very good to her, spoil her a lot. They’re a childless couple. The husband owns a small company, and the wife is a full-time homemaker. They both love children. They adore her, always eager to hold her. The husband will squat down to help the child put on her shoes, the woman lets the child touch her carefully styled hair. The child is very close to them.”
Having finished removing the stitches, she gathered her belongings.
Just as she was about to step out the door, she heard the man sob.
“Thank you.”
“About that...” Dean Zhu pondered, “Well, since you asked, I’ll tell you. We kept three interns in total, besides you. However, you were never officially an intern because our general hospital has had our eyes on you for a while.”
As she expected, Tang Yuxin was an exception. The quality of her medical skills had long secured her a position here, regardless of her internship elsewhere. But who were the others who stayed?
Dean Zhu retrieved some files from his cabinet, “Here, you can take a look. But keep it confidential.”
“Okay,” Tang Yuxin agreed, taking the stack of files. As she opened them, she was quite pleasantly surprised to see Li Jia’s name among the three people chosen to stay.
Tang Yuxin didn’t find it surprising that Li Jia was chosen to stay. Though she wasn’t the best, and her professional skills weren’t particularly impressive, she was the most down-to-earth, obedient, and hardworking.
Li Jia being chosen to stay was the most pleasing to Tang Yuxin. Looking at the other two pages, she saw that Wei Jiani’s name was absent. It appeared Wei Jiani would soon have to leave.
“You seem quite pleased?”
As expected of the cunning Dean Zhu, Tang Yuxin’s thoughts couldn’t escape his insightful gaze.
“Wei Jiani’s name isn’t here,” Tang Yuxin didn’t deviate from the point and asked directly.
“Her?” Dean Zhu sat down, retrieving several student files and flipping through them.
“Her character is problematic, she isn’t fit to stay at the hospital.”
“How did you know?” Tang Yuxin was genuinely curious about how Dean Zhu discovered this. Wei Jiani was very adept at pretence. She had deceived Zhang’s parents and Zhang Yong’an with it. But now Zhang Yong’an was becoming a mess, there was no way he could afford graduate school, let alone study abroad. Returning from studying abroad with a decent degree could secure a good job. Now that he was turning into a waste, would Wei Jiani, a woman with such high expectations, still want him? It would be a miracle!
Claiming they were truly in love... she didn’t buy that.
As for Wei Jiani’s character issues, Tang Yuxin felt this was related to Sang Zhilan. Like mother like daughter—if the mother was bad, how could the daughter be any better? Therefore, in her lifetime, she never recognized Sang Zhilan as her mother. As long as she didn’t come to harm her, it was fine.
