?Chapter 178: Chapter 178: I’m Afraid I’ll Be Struck by Lightning for Helping You Chapter 178: Chapter 178: I’m Afraid I’ll Be Struck by Lightning for Helping You A few days later, at the outpatient clinic.
Ye Chuyi was sitting in for consultations today, and there were many patients registered under her name. She was so busy all morning that she didn’t even have time to take a sip of water.
At noon, she finally finished with her consultations and picked up her water bottle, drinking as she walked toward the elevator.
As the elevator doors opened, just as she was about to step in, someone clutching their chest burst out, bumping into her and making her stagger, spilling most of the water from her cup.
The person started cursing, “Are you blind? Didn’t you see I’m a patient? Bumping into a patient like that, you despicable thing! You—”
Before she could finish, enduring severe pain, she looked up only to realize it was Ye Chuyi.
Seeing the white coat with Dome Hospital’s insignia on Ye Chuyi, she paused.
Ye Chuyi glanced at her, “Mrs. Qi seems to be quite ill, blatantly blaming me even though you were the one who bumped into me, you’re the real piece of work here.”
The person was indeed Qi Yunfan’s mother, Hen Peizhu.
Ye Chuyi had not expected that she would come to Dome Hospital for medical treatment.
While they were talking, Qi Yunfan hurried over, “Mom, all the doctors’ appointments are booked today, why don’t we try another hospital?”
After saying this, seeing that Hen Peizhu didn’t respond, just staring fixedly at the doctor in front of her, he couldn’t help but turn to look at that doctor.
He too was stunned, “Chuyi, what are you doing here, and what’s with these clothes?”
She was dressed in a white coat, the kind only doctors at Dome Hospital wore, and he hadn’t recognized her for a moment.
Ye Chuyi ignored him, continued to drink the rest of her water, then calmly walked into the elevator.
Qi Yunfan grabbed her white coat, “Chuyi, are you actually a doctor at Dome?”
Ye Chuyi pulled her coat out of his hand, “I am, got a problem with that?”
“But weren’t you studying nursing? How come you’re working as a doctor at an elite private hospital like Dome?”
“When did I ever say I was studying nursing?”
Qi Yunfan was stumped and thought hard; she really had never mentioned what her major was. It was Wen Nianyou who told him that Ye Chuyi was studying nursing and that in the future, she’d end up like her mother, specifically serving others.
He looked incredulously at Ye Chuyi, “So, you’re not studying nursing? Don’t tell me, you’re a med student?”
“My education is none of your business.”
“Let’s forget what you studied. The fact that you’re a doctor at Dome is good enough. My mom is suffering from severe chest pain, but there are no appointments available today. Help me find a doctor to see her now, out of turn.”
“Why should I help you?”
“You—”
Qi Yunfan choked for a moment, then shamelessly pleaded, “After all, we had a thing in the past, and my mom was pretty nice to you then. How can you just stand by and not help?”
“Nice to me? Give me an example of how she was nice to me.”
“She…”
Qi Yunfan’s mind went blank; he couldn’t think of any example where his mother was nice to Ye Chuyi. Realizing he couldn’t appeal to gratitude, he resorted to moral blackmail, “Doctors are supposed to have compassion. As a doctor, it’s your duty to help patients. My mom is seriously ill and in danger; you can’t just coldly watch and do nothing, right? Even if it was a stranger asking for your help, you should oblige, let alone me and my mom?”
Ye Chuyi glanced at Hen Peizhu, who was pale and shivering, and suddenly laughed, “If it were a stranger, I indeed would help, but you, if I were to help you, I’d probably get struck by lightning. Your mother knows full well if she was ever kind to me, and she probably is too ashamed to ask for my help. What face do you have to ask on her behalf?”
“Chuyi, how can you be so ruthless? Don’t you have any old feelings left?”
“There were no old feelings to begin with, Young Master Qi, you’re being quite ridiculous. Didn’t you get engaged to Wen Nianyou? And now you’re talking to me about old feelings?”
Hen Peizhu grabbed Qi Yunfan’s arm, “Son, don’t bother with her anymore, she’s utterly heartless. Consider all the nice things we ever did for her as if we had fed them to a dog! Let’s go to a different hospital; I refuse to be treated at a hospital that dares to employ the daughter of a murderer!”
However, Qi Yunfan hesitated, “Mom, we went to other hospitals yesterday, and they couldn’t find anything wrong. You’re in so much pain, switching hospitals now might be too late. Besides, Dome is the best hospital; let’s stay here for treatment, I’ll go to the emergency department and ask around.”
Ye Chuyi hadn’t paid any attention to their mother-son conversation and had already entered the elevator with her water bottle.
Hen Peizhu watched the elevator doors close slowly, her eyes full of resentment, “She actually became a doctor; back when she worked at our hospital, she wanted to be a doctor and sit in for consultations, and I never agreed! I can’t believe Dome actually hired her as a doctor. Dome is nothing special after all. No need to inquire at the emergency department, I refuse to be treated here!”
