Some people cursed and cursed, others clicked their tongues regretfully, saying that Co Thua's previous surgery was very cool. Liu Tieu Man heard this and replied: "Being good at holding a scalpel doesn't mean your heart is also upright." I officially entered my rotation period in the Emergency Department. On the first day of shift, the Head Nurse gave me the uniform: "This size is probably not quite right, you can just wear it for now." I received it, the fabric was brand new. A young nurse standing next to her mumbled: "Doctor Khuong, I'm sorry. Before, I also joined in and said you relied on Luong Lao." I asked: “What now?” The girl blushed: "Now I see that my mouth is so ungrateful." The head nurse patted her on the back of the head: "It's good to know that, talk less and do more." The Head of the Emergency Department walked over with the medical records: "Khuong Ninh, be with me tonight." Liu Tieu Man poked his head in from outside the door: "Can I see you wearing a white blouse?" I replied: “No.” She pouted: "I'm the family representative." The head nurse laughed: "What's wrong with your family?" Liu Tieu Man puffed out his chest: "This is Van Linh's grandmother." In the first hour of the night shift, a patient with chest pain was brought in. The family gathered around and screamed loudly, the young doctor was a bit panicked. I walked over to ask for his medical history. The old man spoke intermittently, constantly pointing to his stomach area. The young doctor said: "It's like a stomachache." I turned to ask my family: "What did he do before he got sick?"
“Carry the gas tank.”
I immediately turned to the nurse: "Go immediately to the emergency room, report to the Head of Department." The young doctor was stunned: "Doctor Khuong, is it so urgent?" The Head of the Emergency Department just walked in and looked at me: "Do as she says." Half an hour later, the old man was out of danger. My family members held my hand tightly and thanked me profusely. The young doctor scratched his head and ears: "Doctor Khuong, how can you see that?" I said: "Van Linh doesn't have the conditions to do many tests, so we have to listen to the patient say how much pain they have first." The Head of the Emergency Department stood next to him and said: "Remember this. This sentence from her is more useful than you memorizing ten pages of a book." I looked up and suddenly saw Co Thua standing at the end of the hallway. He was not wearing a blouse, holding a file in his hand, seemingly coming to complete the procedure. Before, people would greet him wherever he went, but now the nurses who saw him bowed their heads and avoided him. He walked closer: "Khuong Ninh, let's talk for a while." Liu Tieu Man immediately jumped up from his chair: "What are you talking about? Are you talking about asking someone to secretly take pictures of her?" Co Thua didn't even glance at her: "I'm only talking to Khuong Ninh." I replied: “I am on duty.”
“Ten minutes.” His voice lowered, “About your father.”
I stopped. Liu Tieu Man panicked: "Doctor Khuong, he's trying to trick you again." Co Thua looked at me: "Your father left a letter a while ago, and it's at my place now." I went to the corner of the hallway: "Give it here." He squeezed the file in his hand: "You agree to dismiss the complaint without prosecuting my mother first." I stared at him. He kept talking: "You're old, you can't stand the criticism anymore. I instigated you to make the accusation, you just hate me and that's enough. The letter I can give you is the last letter your father wrote to you." I asked back: "What right do you have to use my father's letter as a condition?" negotiate with me?” His eyes clearly showed fatigue: "Because I don't have any other pieces." Liu Tieu Man rushed forward and cursed and slapped: "Do you even know that it's a chess piece? That's her father's relic!” Co Thua suppressed her voice: "Khuong Ninh, don't you want to know what legacy your father left behind?" I stared at the file.
