Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — In Rebirth, I Choose to Save People Before Saving Myself
Done packing up your luggage. I looked at the rented room I had lived in for half a year for the last time. The wall is peeling off piece by piece. But in my previous life... This is where my life ended. When swallowing sleeping pills. I collapsed right next to this bed. On the floor... There's still a water stain that can't be wiped away. Or something else. I don't know either. I closed the door. Lock it carefully. Drag the suitcase downstairs. Come down to the yard. I suddenly stopped walking. Raise your head and look up at the seventh floor window. My room window is still not closed. The wind blew making the curtains flutter. Breathing. I stood still for a moment. Then turned around and left. Never looked back. Six o'clock tomorrow morning. Gather in front of the hospital gate. The helicopter will take me to the Provincial Health Department. I will meet the person who wrote my name on the list. I will know the whole truth. And Lam Hieu. With all the people who have harmed me. They will also understand one thing. Tham Thanh Tu... is no longer someone they can bully any way they want. I will make everyone... Regret it one by one. The day after tomorrow we will depart. Everything... It's just begun. On the way to the hospital. I received a call from the head nurse.
"Tham Thanh Tu, where are you?"
Her voice seemed very urgent.
"The dean told me to come right away."
"What's going on?"
"You'll know when you come."
"Hurry up."
I immediately accelerated. When arriving at the Department of Internal Medicine. The door to the dean's office is open. He sat inside. His face was extremely heavy. The head nurse stood next to me, and as soon as she saw me, she winked.
"Dean, I'm looking for you."
I walked in. He pointed to the chair opposite. I sat down. He looked at me for a few seconds. Then he spoke up.
"Tieu Tham."
"Do you know that Lam Hieu came to the hospital to cause trouble this morning?"
I was a bit stunned.
"What happened?"
"Tell me to threaten her."
"Tell me to record."
"And said you deliberately set a trap to harm her."
He took off his glasses and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
"She went to the Disciplinary Inspection Committee."
"Look for the dean too."
"Now..."
"The whole hospital knows about it."
I was silent.
"Tieu Tham."
He leaned forward slightly.
"Tell me the truth."
"Are you really recording her?"
I frankly admit. He sighed softly.
"Why are you recording?"
"Because she's about to accuse me of cheating."
I calmly replied.
"And faked a conversation with the professor."
"I intend to wait until I pass the exam and receive an official transfer before submitting the documents."
The dean said nothing. Fingers gently tapped on the table.
"The accusation..."
"It's been withdrawn."
"I give up the official transfer exam."
"Her kit is no longer effective."
"But she said..."
He looked at me.
"...you threatened her."
"And you said you said you were reincarnated, saying you were killed by her in your previous life."
"Tieu Tham."
"Those words..."
"Is it true?"
I looked straight at him.
"Dean."
"If you say..."
"I really came back to life once again."
"In my previous life, I was harmed by Lam Hieu."
"The body is ruined and the name is ruined."
"Finally, he committed suicide by taking sleeping pills."
"Do you believe it?"
He was silent. Finally, he slowly shook his head.
"I don't believe in reincarnation."
"I understand Lam Hieu's personality."
"Many attempts."
"Jealousy is very strong."
"And you..."
He looked at me.
"Not a kid who knows how to lie."
"Do you believe me?"
"I only believe in my own judgment."
He put his glasses back on.
"Tieu Tham."
"I'll go up the next day road to the disaster area."
"Try to do well."
"As for Lam Hieu's story..."
"Let the teacher handle it."
"Thank you, dean."
I stood up. Go to the door.
"Tieu Tham."
I stopped walking.
"That recording..."
He spoke slowly.
"Hold carefully."
"Who knows..."
"It will be needed later."
I nodded. Then step outside. Sunlight penetrates through the hallway window. Shining on the tile floor, it's so bright it's blinding. I passed by the nursing counter. Lam Hieu was standing there talking to the nurses. Just saw me. Her expression immediately stiffened. But very fast. She turned around. Keep talking to people. Very small voice. But I still heard every word clearly.
"...She was jealous of me so she deliberately set a trap to harm me..."
"...Don't believe her words..."
I didn't pay attention to her, just walked straight past. Returning to the duty room, I started writing the handover list. Medical records. Medical equipment. I have written each item clearly and in detail. In the middle of writing, there was a knock on the door. The person who entered was the dean's secretary.
"Doctor Tham, the dean invites you to come to his office."
"What now?"
"Yes, now."
I followed the secretary upstairs. Then step in. The director sits behind the desk. Seeing me coming, he pointed to the chair opposite. I sat down. He opened the drawer, took out a file and pushed it towards me.
"Look at this."
I picked it up. That is an additional announcement from the Medical Rescue Team, stamped with the red seal of the Provincial Health Department. The document clearly states:
"Based on mission requirements, additional intern Doctor Tham Thanh Tu of City Center Hospital became an official member of the Northwest Medical Rescue Team, receiving the same remuneration as a treating doctor, being assigned to an independent team and reporting directly to the Commander-in-Chief."
I raised my head to look at the principal.
"This is..."
"The Provincial Health Department just sent it down this morning."
He spoke slowly.
"Not a temporary mobilization."
"But an official member."
"Independent staffing."
"Report directly to the Commander-in-Chief."
I clasped the document in my hand.
"I also want to know why."
He smiled helplessly.
"But the instructions from the Department are very clear."
"You must go."
"Besides, I still have to go with this identity."
