Chapter 142: Difficulty
Upon hearing Yu Shiya’s words, which seemed to make a mountain out of a molehill, Tong Yao found it very amusing. To those unaware of the entanglement between them, it might appear that Yu Shiya was approaching the matter from a professional standpoint, prioritizing the well-being of the patient.
However, those who knew about their relationship would easily discern Yu Shiya’s intentional attempt to make things difficult for her.
Regrettably, she wasn’t mute. If Yu Shiya can speak, so can she.
With that in mind, Tong Yao calmly explained, "Dr. Yu, as I mentioned earlier, I sought a doctor but found none around. It was only when I saw the child’s father choking him that I intervened. Moreover, I have basic knowledge of water rescue. Given the urgency of the situation, I decided to act. It wasn’t done out of reckless heroism, as you suggested."
In front of the doctors from Kyoto, she had already lost her dignity. She couldn’t let her behavior affect Si Chen’s career.
"Acquired rescue skills?" Yu Shiya scoffed, not addressing Tong Yao’s statement of searching for the doctor. Instead, she asked, "Do you believe that the bit of knowledge you’ve obtained from wherever can challenge our professional doctors?"
"Dr. Si, I think Dr. Yu makes a good point. You should clarify for your wife the gravity of this situation. This is a matter of life and death, not child’s play. A mishap in a hospital is substantial, ruining the reputation of the entire hospital," said the head of the gynecology department, who stood beside the dean. A woman in her forties, she had the most fashionable curled hairstyle and a stern expression that revealed her strong-willed personality.
She had a close relationship with Cheng Yu, the two being best friends for years, and had long disapproved of the matter between Yu Shiya and Si Chen. She had even tried to sway Cheng Yu’s counsel to get Si Chen dismissed. However, Yu Zhengxiong was characterized with integrity. He was already embarrassed from the previous incident of advising a couple to divorce, and now whenever Cheng Yu attempts to bring up the subject, he would sternly warn her not to mention it again.
