Chapter 14 — Mistakes Cannot Be Compensated

The hospital room fell silent. The Deputy Director gently cleared his throat.

“We understand your feelings.”

“I don't need to understand.”

I pointed to the file bag next to the bed.

"My lawyer will officially send a document. Surgery roster, traces of editing nursing records, infirmary cameras, list of staff on duty, I request all of them to be extracted."

The Head of Nursing frowned.

“Do you suspect that Head Nurse On intentionally harmed you?”

“I just ask for clarification on what she did.”

"The professional capacity of Chief Nurse Wen in the hospital is clear to everyone. In recent years, she has taken on a lot of work taking care of seriously ill patients, and there has never been a similar case."

"This sentence has already been said by Luc Hoai Xuyen."

I leaned my back against the headboard, my wound was pulled painfully.

“If 10 years of not making a mistake can make up for this one, then the hospital doesn't need to investigate anymore.”

The Deputy Director raised his hand to signal the Head of Nursing Department to stop speaking.

"We will keep the documents. Once your situation stabilizes, the hospital will organize a meeting for both sides."

“I do not accept internal mediation.”

“The issue of compensation can also be discussed.”

“Let's talk about responsibility first.”

After they left, Tong Dao poured me a cup of warm water.

“Right now they are most afraid that you will make a big deal out of it.”

“I don't mean to make a fuss.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“Follow the correct procedure.”

I took a sip of water.

“Luc Hoai Xuyen likes the process, I will play with him to the end.”

The day he was discharged from the hospital, Luc Hoai Xuyen finally arrived. He stood at the door of the hospital room, holding my discharge papers in his hand.

“The doctor said I need to rest for another 2 weeks.”

Tong Dao was packing his things and didn't even look up when he heard that.

“This is something Director Luc doesn't have to worry about.”

Luc Hoai Xuyen looked at the two suitcases next to the bed.

“Where are you going?”

“Tong Dao has already rented a house for me.”

“My body is not suitable for moving house right now.”

“All the furniture has been moved.”

He walked in front of me, lowering his voice.

“Gia Hoa, we are not divorced yet.”

“The lawsuit was filed yesterday.”

"I asked a lawyer. That agreement was signed without knowing the content and cannot be directly effective."

“That's why I sued.”

Luc Hoai Xuyen tightened his grip on the hospital discharge paper, causing a crease to form on the paper's surface.

“Just go home and recuperate first. Wait until you get better about the divorce and then discuss it further.”

“I'm wide awake now.”

“If you just lost a child and there's a medical incident, everyone will be excited.”

This is the first time he actively mentioned the baby. I looked up at him.

“Since when did you know?”

Luc Hoai Xuyen avoided my eyes.

“In the inpatient system there is a surgical medical record.”

“So you looked up my medical records yourself.”

“I am your husband.”

“So before entering my hospital room, why don't you know what surgery I did?”

His jaw clenched.

"Thu Nha just said she doesn't feel well."

“She knows.”

“She thought I told you.”

I smiled.

“She saw the divorce agreement, knew I was pregnant, walked into my operating room, and while I was bleeding, she didn't call the doctor.”

"Up to this moment, I'm still looking for excuses for her."

Luc Hoai Xuyen silent for a moment.

"I'm not looking for an excuse for her. The hospital is investigating. After the results are out, she will bear whatever responsibility she has to take."

“Last night I told her not to cry yet.”

His fingers tightened.

“At that time, the situation was very chaotic.”

"I'm lying there receiving a blood transfusion, so you take care of her feelings first."

“Gia Hoa.”

His voice was finally tinged with fatigue.

“I admit that statement was inappropriate.”

I lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Tong Dao stepped forward to help me. Luc Hoai Xuyen also reached out his hand, I brushed it away.
