"You are the doctor Tham who was in charge of my mother before, right? My mother always talks about you. Can you save her?"

I looked at the clock on the wall. There are only five days left until I leave Nam Thanh. Principal Chu immediately blocked me.

"Tham Nam Chi, you are no longer qualified to enter the operating room."

The patient's family pushed him aside.

"I sign the papers! I just need Dr. Tham to operate!"

Principal Chu's face turned pale. Chu Vu Vi bit her lips tightly, her eyes could not hide her hatred. Before changing into surgical clothes, Luc Canh Hoai followed me outside the disinfection room.

"Nam Chi, after the surgery is over, I will tell the hospital to cancel the decision to suspend work."

I replied as I washed my hands, without even looking at him.

"No need."

"Are you still angry?"

"I'm doctor Tham."

I calmly interrupted him.

"Director Luc, before surgery, please don't talk in private."

He stood silent for a few seconds. The surgery lasted three hours. When the patient was pushed out of the operating room, family members immediately ran to hold my hand tightly. A grown man burst into tears on the spot.

"Doctor Tham, thank you. Without you, my mother would not have survived."

The surrounding nurses all looked towards us. Chu Vu Vi stood behind the crowd, his face pale. Director Chu stepped forward, his tone still stiff.

"Successful surgery does not mean the handover was without problems. The investigation continues."

The patient's family immediately turned around.

"Are you still investigating Dr. Tham? Isn't what happened to my mother because your daughter arbitrarily accepted a patient?"

Director Chu's face darkened.

"Pay attention to what I say."

I took off my mask.

"There is no need for further investigation."

"I quit my job."

Luc Canh Hoai's face immediately changed.

"Nam Chi..."

I threw the surgical cap into the collection bin.

"Suspension is fine, disciplinary action is fine. Write whatever you want."

"I won't stay at Nhan An Hospital anymore."

Chu Vu Vi finally spoke up.

"Doctor Tham, don't say it like you're wronged. The patient is yours to hand over. If something happens, you can't avoid responsibility."

I looked straight at her.

"Doctor Chu, you better pray that there are no records in the medical record system."

Chu Vu Vi's face immediately changed. Tieu Duong quickly said:

"Yes! This morning, Ms. Nam Chi entered the risk warning into the system. The time was even earlier than when Chu Vu Vi signed it."

Principal Chu's face immediately changed color. Chu Vu Vi lowered his voice.

"At that time... I didn't pay attention."

The patient's family laughed coldly.

"You still dare to accept patients without paying attention? Do you consider my mother a guinea pig to practice your skills?"

Chu Vu Vi was scolded so much that she took a half step back and turned to look at Luc Canh Hoai.

"Canh Hoai... I really didn't mean it."

This time, Luc Canh Hoai did not immediately stand up to protect her like usual. He stared at the history recorded in the system, his expression dark and scary.

"Sorry to the patient's family."

Chu Vu Vi did not dare to believe it.

"You... make me apologize?"

She bit her lip and mumbled: The patient's family did not accept it.

"Say it louder!"

Chu Vu Vi's face turned red. That was the first time since entering Nhan An Hospital that she had to bow her head and admit her mistake. Tieu Duong leaned close to my ear and said softly:

"That's right I'm really angry, but the Chu family will definitely not let you go."

I sent my resignation letter back to the human resources department. That evening, a new announcement appeared in the hospital's internal chat group. My resignation letter... The reason is that I am suspected of being involved in an incident during the treatment handover process, so during the investigation period I am not allowed to leave my work position. Tieu Duong took a screenshot of the notification sent to me, and also sent three consecutive voice messages cursing me. At that time, I was packing my luggage in the hotel when there was a knock on the door. The person standing outside was Luc Canh Hoai. In his hand he held a box of cinnamon rolls that I used to like very much.

"Nam Chi, let's talk."

I stood right in front of the door.

"No need."

He looked at the two suitcases behind me.

"Do you really want to go?"

"That's right."

"Because of Vu Vi?"

I laughed.

"Luc Canh Hoai, until now do you still think it's just because of her?"

He was silent. I said slowly:

"You hid the engagement from me."

"My mother brought someone to search through my things."

"Your fiancee stole my patient."

"When something happens, I want you to take responsibility."

"In each of those stories, which one did not originate from you?"

He put the box of cinnamon rolls down next to the door.
