Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 418 - Chapter 418 【418】I already said it was an accident

Chapter 418: [(418)] I already said it was an accident Chapter 418: [(418)] I already said it was an accident At that moment, He Xiangyu’s parents had arrived and were standing in the corridor of the cardiothoracic surgery department on the eighth floor, conversing with Director Jiang and their child’s schoolteachers.

Since the doctors were busy, they handed over the job of communicating with the family to the schoolteachers, who would call them over when professional explanations were needed.

“Uncle He, Aunt Zhang.” Lau Jingyun went over to greet the parents of her junior classmate.

“Jingyun,” Aunt Zhang came over and took Lau Jingyun’s hand, “what happened last night? The teachers said that only you and Xiang Yu were with her.”

“Yes, it was Yingying and I with Xiang Yu. She is our junior.” Lau Jingyun introduced junior Xie Wanying to her classmate’s parents.

Meeting her senior classmate’s parents for the first time, Xie Wanying was a bit nervous and nodded, greeting them, “Uncle, Auntie.”

“I’ve heard about you from Xiang Yu over the phone; she said her junior is an exceptional student.” Aunt Zhang said.

Xie Wanying was unaware until now that her senior classmate had been praising her everywhere. She felt a bit restrained, as she wasn’t as outstanding as her senior had described, or else she would have been able to predict her senior’s accident last night.

“Here’s what happened. She had a fish bone stuck in her throat last night. We thought it was like the times before, where she would swallow the fish bone and everything would be fine.” Lau Jingyun explained to her junior’s parents, “We didn’t anticipate that the fish bone was lodged in her esophagus and suddenly pierced it. Strangely, she didn’t feel any pain. If she had shown any sign of pain, we would have known. Whether she didn’t feel any pain or didn’t mention it, we’re not sure. Because last night too many things happened, there were many people in need of emergency aid.”

“The teacher said she was brave to save others, but we don’t want her to be like this, we want to persuade her to go abroad.” Aunt Zhang said as she wiped her eyes; after all, a daughter is a treasured heart, and no parent can bear to see their child in trouble.

In this matter, Lau Jingyun felt the need to clarify, “Auntie, even if she goes abroad, facing such a situation, Xiang Yu, as a doctor, would still help to save people.”

“Yes, it’s her character.” Aunt Zhang accepted resignedly.

“Enough, let’s not talk about this.” Uncle He waved his hand, asking his wife to say less, “This is an accident.”

“I’m not blaming anyone,” Aunt Zhang lifted her head to argue with her husband, “I just don’t want my child to go through this again. I’m hoping to avoid that.”

“It’s been said it was an accident. Do you think you can prevent accidents?” he replied.

Seeing the couple arguing, Director Jiang and a group of teachers intervened to mediate, “Now that the surgery is over and went smoothly, everything is fine. There’s no need to argue anymore.”

“Teacher, I actually want to discuss something with you all. We have found a lab supervisor abroad for Xiang Yu, and we want her to go overseas for research.” Aunt Zhang formally proposed to the teachers.

Teacher Wang, responsible for He Xiangyu’s clinical tutoring, was nearly dumbfounded upon hearing this from the parents: What did this mean? Was the student he had painstakingly mentored going to be sent abroad?

But after last night’s major incident and feeling guilty, Teacher Wang didn’t want to argue with the family and silently turned away.

“The conditions abroad are better,” Director Jiang said, “but it’s a fact that China lacks outstanding pathologists.”

“That’s the problem,” Aunt Zhang said. “Xiang Yu herself mentioned it’s difficult to work at the hospital of her alma mater. That’s why we are preparing to send her abroad.”

“Auntie,” Xie Wanying, remembering her senior’s heartfelt words from last night, said, “my senior wishes to stay in the country. She hopes to become a local doctor, to treat and save the people of her country.”
