Chapter 2 — Stepping Out From The Rubble

"Ta Chinh said... when you're not happy, you'll come here..." I couldn't help but be stunned. In the past, whenever I met a patient or had a problem that was difficult to resolve, I liked to come here to relax. This place was originally a secret belonging to me and Ta Chinh. In front of everyone, we had a fierce confrontation. In the corner of the terrace with no one in sight, we bravely loved each other again. Manh Chi Dao took a step forward: "Am Yin, sorry. I know these three words are not enough. But I'm really just... emotional, can't control myself." Her voice began to choke: "You're so good, you can win anything. Jobs, abilities, respect from everyone. But I'm not like you. I'm just a very normal person, I just want someone by my side..." I couldn't help but laugh. sneered: "There are so many people in the world, must it be Ta Chinh?" Her face changed. It took a long time for her to grit her teeth and make up her mind to say: "Thu Am, you can hate me, you can resent me, I don't regret it. You have indeed helped me a lot, but I also don't owe you anything. We consider that no one owes anyone else anymore." I was almost so angry that I burst out laughing. After Manh Chi Dao left, Ta Chinh quietly stood one step away from me. He lit a cigarette: "Thu Am, after being with you for so many years, you've always been the calmest person. You didn't say you needed me, didn't say you missed me, and didn't say you were afraid. You don't need my resources and relationships. I gave you a gift, you must return one of equal value." "There was a time when I thought you actually didn't care about me that much." When it came to Manh Chi Dao, His eyes became gentle: "She's not like you. In her eyes, there's only you." I was silent for a long time, then finally laughed at myself and said nothing. Manh Chi Dao is a typical person who considers love as everything. Because of love, she is willing to leave her homeland to follow the person she loves. I'm not like her. Love is only a part of my life, maybe only ten percent. But of those ten percent, Ta Chinh accounted for one hundred percent. Unfortunately, you don't understand. I turned around and left. The night wind just blew the terrace door closed. I won't come here again either.4After breaking up unhappily on the rooftop, Manh Chi Dao and Ta Chinh publicly announced that they were together. They bought afternoon drinks for the whole department. A few young nurses who didn't know anything smiled and called out to me: "Doctor Thu, come here quickly, we'll leave you some American-style iced coffee." Ta Chinh frowned and instinctively blurted out: "Her stomach is not good, that hot red apple tea is hers." Manh Chi Dao's smile stiffened. The room was silent for a moment. I smiled, held up my thermos: "Drink lots of warm water." That day, after finishing the night shift, I had just parked the car and stabilized when my right eyelid suddenly twitched. These past few days I've always felt like something was wrong, like a pair of eyes were always watching me. I took a deep breath, and just as I lifted my feet to go home, a dark shadow descended. My heart beats strongly. Manh Chi Dao's ex-husband, Chu Minh. He held a baseball bat and glared at me fiercely. "Thu Am, long time no see." My heart sank. I instinctively tried to leave but was stopped by him. "A while ago, you took that man and ran to my house to beat people. Aren't you very arrogant? Why are you so timid now?" "Oh, I forgot. Your man has been stolen by Manh Chi Dao." "That bitch is now clinging to the hospital's young master, I can't touch him anymore. But if I can't vent this anger, I'm very upset. Doctor Thu, if you want to blame me, I can only blame you.

bad luck. Knowing a friend like Manh Chi Dao, she risked her life for him, but he turned and stabbed her twice. Chu Minh tsk tsk a few times, the hand holding the baseball bat slowly tightened. I took a deep breath, dug for my phone in my pocket, silently dialed the emergency contact number. My hand shook a little, on the outside I still tried to be calm, trying to reason with him: "What do you want? Money or something else? We can both negotiate." Chu Minh's face changed, he spit out a lot of saliva. "I don't need anything. I just want you to pay." The baseball bat was about to fall on me. I screamed, turned around and ran. "Chu Minh, calm down. Intentionally injuring others will pay the price." Chu Minh chased after: "My woman ran away, I became the laughing stock of everyone. I don't care what the cost is, I don't care anymore." He stopped me in a dead end alley. My whole body was shaking. "Don't hurt my hand, okay? I have an operation tomorrow.”“The patient is a little girl. She has been sick for a long time, as long as the surgery is successful, she will be able to live..." "Chu Minh, I beg you..." Before I finished speaking, the baseball bat brought the sound of the wind down, hitting my arm directly. I clearly heard the sound of bones breaking.
