Chapter 5 — After I Left the ICU, the Whole Emergency System Went Downhill

The text below made my eyes sting slightly. 【Please Director Wen come back and save my wife.】 I enlarged the photo. The man's hand holding the phone was shaking constantly. Zhou Yubai's call has not been disconnected yet. The other end of the line was eerily quiet. Only the harsh alarm of the survival monitor rang out continuously.

“On Tung...”

His voice was hoarse to the extreme.

"We'll talk about divorce later."

“It's about human lives, can you go back first?”

I looked at the phone screen. Then suddenly burst into laughter.

“Zhou Yubai.”

“I realize you're always like that.”

“When you wanted me to give up my position, you said I was too strong.”

“When you need me to save people, you say that human life is the most important thing.”

"When you want me to swallow all my shame, you say that husband and wife should not calculate."

“Have you ever considered me a person who knows pain?”

The other end of the line suddenly became choked. At moment later. Luong Hoai Xuyen received the phone call.

“As dean, I am committed now.”

“Your position as Head of the ICU is restored immediately.”

“Jiang Nhiem's management rights have been suspended.”

“The issue of signing on the emergency plan will be investigated tonight.”

“If you need to publicly apologize, that's fine.”

“In the whole institute group.”

“During the executive board meeting.”

“Or anywhere you ask.”

“What about Tan Tranh?”

The other end of the line suddenly went silent. Luong Hoai Xuyen's voice was low.

"Tan Tranh is the Deputy Director of Operations. If you want to deal with him, you must follow the correct process."

“Then just follow the procedure.”

My voice was strangely calm.

“But from now on, all ICU coordination will be taken over by me.”

“Tan Tranh and Giang Nhiem are not allowed to participate in any link in the emergency command chain.”

“If not, I won't come back.”

From far away, Giang Nhiem's cry echoed.

“Why?”

“The person in charge of the ICU right now is me!”

Hearing that, on the contrary, I felt more reassured. As for her mind fighting for power, it shows that she still doesn't really understand. The people in the emergency room are not the numbers on the report. They are lives standing on the edge of the boundary between life and death. Luong Hoai Xuyen did not hesitate at all. I continue:

“Third condition.”

“Chu Du Bach must sign a divorce petition.”

“I don't bargain with patients' lives.”

"I just want before I go back, to completely cut off your right to use your husband's name to decide everything for me."

The other end of the line was completely silent. A long time later. Chu Du Bach spoke hoarsely:

“Do we really have to talk about this at this time?”

“I'm afraid that after I go back, you guys will use the patient to tie me down again.”

“I can save people.”

“But I will not continue to prolong life in a marriage that has betrayed me.”

His voice visibly trembled.

“Do you hate me that much?”

I tightened my grip on the phone.

“I don't hate you anymore.”

The other end of the line seemed choked. I slowly said each word:

“I just don't need you anymore.”

The atmosphere immediately fell into silence. Luong Hoai Xuyen quickly spoke: A few seconds later. The sound of documents being opened was heard on the phone. Giang Nhiem almost shouted:

“Master Chu!”

“You can't sign!”

“Director On is taking advantage of the house fire to loot!”

I laughed cold.

“Director Giang.”

“When you guys stole my position, you didn't choose an auspicious day or month.”

Not long after. Manh Tri Vi sent me a photo. The last page of the divorce petition appeared with Chu Du Bach's signature. The pen's stroke was so strong that it almost penetrated the paper. I looked at those three words for a few seconds. The rock that has been weighing heavily in my heart for a while now finally feels a little lighter. I booked the earliest flight. When the plane lands. The clock had just struck twenty minutes past two in the morning. The lights in front of the hospital gate were as bright as day. Manh Tri Vi and the head of the Medical Affairs Department were waiting at the door of the Emergency Department. Luong Hoai Xuyen stood outside the emergency command room. Behind him are Tan Tranh, Giang Nhiem and Zhou Yubai. I didn't look at Chu Du Bach once. Luong Hoai Xuyen gave me a new business card.
