Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1835: You’re Overthinking It

"If the mother also agrees, if she wants to give up the child, we’ll definitely respect both of your opinions. If the child’s mother doesn’t agree, as doctors, we don’t have the authority to do that."

"I’m the father of this child. I don’t want the child. Shouldn’t you doctors respect my opinion?"

"We definitely have to respect the mother’s opinion first because the fetus is in her body."

"So you mean I must step aside for her? Do I have no right to decide about the child in front of her?"

"Didn’t I tell you last time? Aborting the child poses a huge harm to the mother’s body."

"Alright, alright, stop scaring me." Hu Hao stops her from speaking those terrifying medical truths. After a while, perhaps feeling helpless, he begins to plead with her, "I beg you, Xie Wanying, don’t just consider her, consider me too. She will ruin my life. You haven’t even met her before, and I was your classmate for three years. How can you treat me like this, can you really be heartless?"

"Hu Hao, you are an adult now. Adults should take responsibility for whatever they do."

"When did I ever not take responsibility? I’ve paid for her to have an abortion."

"She doesn’t want to, you can’t force her. You know very well what you should do."

Apparently unable to listen to her words anymore, Hu Hao says, "Xie Wanying, good for you. I knew ever since the college entrance exam results were announced that you and Zhao Wenzong were using me and Zhang Wei as stepping stones. Now, you two must be quite happy to see me in this predicament, hoping I stay tied to her for life. Rest assured, your dream will never come true."

To these words from her classmate, Xie Wanying advises, "You’re overthinking."

She doesn’t have the time to care about how he and Zhang Wei are doing. Knowing that both their families are wealthy, they don’t need someone poor like her worrying about them. Besides, all her energy is focused on treating her grandfather, and she has no time for other people’s matters.

Hu Hao’s mistake is thinking that she can manage Little Sister Luo’s abortion. She is just a medical student, and even when she becomes a doctor, she won’t have the power or ability to force Little Sister Luo to have an abortion. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In his rage, Hu Hao angrily hangs up the call.

She herself also doesn’t have the time to chat idly with this classmate. Rushing to work at the hospital, Xie Wanying reports to Teacher Du’s Office: "Student Geng has taken leave."

"We know." Doctor Zuoliang informs her that the school has notified them, "Teacher Du has said that he shouldn’t rush back, and should deal with his family patient’s illness first. Education can wait, but family lives should come first."

It dawns on her to recall the rumor that Teacher Du studied medicine back then for the purpose of treating his own family, and Du Haiwei’s words certainly echo his own sentiments back then.

Generation after generation of medical students, the kindness in humanity remains unchanged. The initial motivations for studying medicine will inevitably overlap to some extent. Thinking about this, Xie Wanying feels a sense of resonance with her classmates and clinical teachers.

Teacher Du is a very composed person who doesn’t like to speak much, but he is very kind. After Doctor Zuoliang finishes speaking, Du Haiwei rubs his palms and asks her about last night’s event, "Don’t you have my phone number?"

"Yes—" Not obtaining the teacher’s phone number immediately was her negligence, Xie Wanying admits her oversight.

"Come here." Doctor Zuoliang pulls out a pen, scribbles his and the mentor’s contact numbers on a slip of paper, and hands it to her, "Remember it. Next time, contact us directly if there’s something, don’t bother others."
