“On what basis does everyone say that I killed him?” “That year I was just a patient!” “I didn't do anything wrong!” I looked at her out of control face. Suddenly felt so pitiful. Until now, she still feels that she was not wrong. Obviously she knows the truth. But let me be subjected to cyber violence. Obviously she knew An An died because of their family. But time and time again, An An was still brought out to provoke me. To the end, she still maintained her innocence. I said softly: “Tong Minh
Khe." "Your biggest mistake is not being poor." "It's not being sick." "It's being shameless." 8 When Tong Minh Khe was taken by the police for investigation, she was still crying. "I'm still sick." "You can't take me away." "If something happens to me, Lam Van can't escape being involved." The police didn't pay attention to her. Tong's mother rushed to stop her and was also taken away. Tong's father stood still. place, his face was gray. Before leaving, he suddenly turned to look at me. "Lam Van." "Even though Minh Khe did it
wrong." "But now he's really sick." "Are you really not soft-hearted?" I looked at him. "That year, An An really died." "You guys were soft-hearted?" Tong's father stiffened. I didn't look at him anymore. The direction of online public opinion was completely reversed. That year's invoice, original interview video, chat history and two suicide letters were all posted. People who scolded me began to apologize. 【Sorry, Dr. Lam.】 【That year, we were led by public opinion.】 【She saved other people's lives,
but lost his daughter.】 【Tong Minh Khe is too scary.】 But looking at those apologies, I just feel tired. The truth that comes too late can never bring the dead back to life. An An will not return. The days when I was pointed at and scolded by others during those years will not disappear. The image of my mother being humiliated at the market cannot be erased from my memory. Chu Nghien stood next to me, softly asking: "Do I need to speak up?" I shook my head. "No." "Let the lawyer speak up." "I will."
I just want to go home to visit An An." That afternoon, I went to the cemetery. In front of An An's tombstone was covered with a thin layer of dust. I squatted down, slowly wiping the dust off her photo. In the photo, she smiled very sweetly. In my arms, I was still holding an old stuffed rabbit. I caressed her face, tears finally falling. "An An." "Mom did not hide today." "Mom made everything clear." "Finally let them know." "You're not." retribution.”“You are the child I love the most in the world.”Chu Nghien placed one
Small bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of the grave. Over the years he has rarely cried. But that day, his eyes turned red. "An An will know." I nodded. The wind blows through the cemetery. It was like there was a small hand gently caressing my face. 9 Half a month later, the hospital held a public press conference. The director stood on stage, bowed his head and apologized to me. "That year, under public pressure, the hospital was unable to fully protect the legal rights and interests of Dr. Lam Van." "It was also unable to properly support her when her daughter fell ill.
in a critical condition." "For this, we solemnly apologize." I sat in the audience, hearing the sound of cameras continuously ringing around me. This apology came too late. So late that An An was already resting underground. So late that when I heard it, I only felt empty. After the press conference ended, a reporter asked me: "Doctor Lam, if your surgical status is restored in the future, will you still continue to work as a doctor?" I remained silent. was silent for a long time. Then looked into the camera. “Yes.” “But I hope
Everyone understands." "Doctors are also human beings." "Not a tool placed on a moral high ground, from which one is never allowed to complain of pain." "Saving people and treating the sick is a responsibility." "But repaying evil for good should not be the price that doctors are forced to endure." After that, I took over the process of re-evaluation. Re-training, testing, psychological evaluation. The process was very long. Also very difficult. I thought that in this life I would not be able to live. never step into the operating room again. Because I only need to see the lights
After surgery, I will remember the look of An An lying on the hospital bed. But for the first time, I stopped in front of the sink. I discovered that my hands were still very steady. Tieu Tran became the head nurse. She stood next to her, her eyes red and said: "Doctor Lam." "Welcome back." I looked at myself in the mirror. The sideburns have a few more silver strands. His eyes are no longer as sharp as when he was young. But I'm still Lam Van. Lam Van used all her strength to save many people's lives. The operating room door opened. The light shines down. I
Raised his hand, calmly said: "Let's start." As for Tong Minh Khe. Her treatment was entrusted to another team of specialists. I don't participate. After that, she was held legally responsible. Due to health reasons, part of the punishment was postponed, but she no longer had the opportunity to stand in front of the camera and play the role of a resilient girl.
