Chapter 4 — The Day I Left the Chu Family

"The main surgeon has finished work. We can't wait for them to come back in time. Let the doctor on duty come in first."

Doctors and nurses ran back and forth inside. I heard their conversation. Turned around and ran towards the burn department. Phong Dien is still there. Now only he can save my mother. But when I rushed into the burn unit, there was no one inside. I took out my phone to call Phong Dien. Called more than twenty times in a row but no one answered the phone. I dialed Lam Nhiem's number again. No one picked up the phone either. I started going into each room to search. Hope to find Phong Dien. During that time, I was stopped by the nurse several times. When a nurse recognized me, she immediately pulled me back.

"Are you looking for Dr. Phong? He seems to be in my department."

“Thank you.”

I frantically ran to the department on the 5th floor. I kicked the door open. Phong Dien was squatting on the ground, carefully applying medicine to Lam Nhiem. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him outside.

“What are you going crazy about again?”

Phong Dien angrily pushed my hand away. I used my strength to grab his hand and humbly begged:

“My mother is in the emergency room, please go over there and do surgery for her right away.”

Lam Nhiem sat next to him and laughed out loud.

"Tieu Kieu, if you don't want A Dien to apply medicine to me, just say it directly, why bring her out to lie."

Phong Dien's face, which was a bit relaxed, immediately regained his cold look upon hearing that.

"On Kieu, you said you and Lam Nhiem have nothing, why do you have to target her?"

I was stunned and hastily explained.

“I'm not aiming at her, my mother is actually in the emergency room.”

Phong Dien's voice was filled with impatience:

"That's enough, On Kieu, now go out, I don't want to see you."

My eyes burned with extreme anxiety, excitedly pulling at him.

"I'm really not lying, just go see it and you'll know right away."

At this moment, Lam Nhiem suddenly screamed.

“A Dien, look at my leg, it looks like all the blisters have burst.”

“That's it, let me see!”

Phong Dien immediately squatted down at her feet, his face full of tension, checking the blisters. At this moment, I just find it ridiculous. My mother's illness was hanging by a thread, but Phong Dien only cared about whether the blisters on Lam Nhiem's legs had burst or not. That year, I was so blind that I fell in love with someone like that. But my mother's illness cannot wait. I gritted my teeth. Go forward and use your strength to pull Phong Dien up, trying to drag him out. Phong Dien's face immediately darkened. Not only did he turn his back and push me out of the department door. But also locked the door from the inside.

"On Kieu, give up, I don't believe you. Don't bother me to apply medicine to Lam Nhiem."

I put all my strength into banging on the door loudly.

“Phong Dien, come here quickly.”

“My mother really needs you to do surgery.”

I've been banging on the door for more than ten minutes, but it's still quiet inside. In the end, only my sobbing and begging remained.

“Phong Dien, come out here…”

“Please save my mother.”

“As long as you save her, I'll listen to whatever you say!”

At this moment, a shrill bell suddenly rang out in my pocket. A bad premonition welled up in my heart. The body was uncontrollable and trembled. Slowly pick up the phone.

“Where are you running to? Your mother's surgery failed, hurry up Come and take care of the afterlife..."

I can no longer hear the words behind me clearly. Mind completely blank. I stiffly leaned against the door of the department, my legs gave out, I slid to the ground. I just feel like I'm about to not be able to breathe anymore.

“Hello hello, do you hear me? Come here quickly.”

The call is still heard in the receiver. I staggered to my feet. Walking lifelessly towards the third floor. Phone message buzzes. I bowed my head and looked. It was Phong Dien's message.
