Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Encounter, Reunion (21)

She had just gotten off the vehicle and hadn’t even climbed the steps to the teaching building when she saw many people standing in the corridor on the second floor, and faintly, a few in white coats moving among them.

Her heart sank, and she muttered to herself, "This can’t be good. Could something have happened?"

She hurried upstairs, squeezing through the crowd, and as she pushed through, she overheard bits of conversation—words like "pregnant woman", "injured", and "no place" reached her ears.

She guessed that perhaps a pregnant woman was about to give birth, or was there some danger?

So, her urgency grew.

Having been there for a day and a night, most people knew she was a reporter and made way for her.

When she made it to the front, she found the situation entirely different from what she had imagined!

On the ground were stretchers with three people lying on them, two of whom she recognized: Liu Dawei and a male college student named Ah Wei, plus a young soldier she did not know. Their eyes were closed, and their complexions looked bad, Liu Dawei’s calf was wrapped in gauze.

At that moment, they, along with several medical staff and soldiers helping with the stretchers, were in front of a room marked "Second Grade Small Office", with several medical staff looking indignant.

"What’s happened?" Tu Hengsha squatted down and touched Liu Dawei’s forehead, indeed finding it frighteningly hot.

"All three of them have high fevers, vomiting, and diarrhea. Their symptoms are very severe; they can no longer stay in the makeshift clinic. We wanted to find them an empty room, and there might even be others who will exhibit the same symptoms. We need the space! But they refuse to open the door!" A nurse was so angry that her eyes were red.

Tu Hengsha thought of Xu Gui in the car, also with a high fever and vomiting...

She glanced through the window and saw that the small office was not very large, filled with stacks of documents, books, and desks and chairs. Inside, there were only three people: the pregnant woman, her husband Wang, and the Granny who had previously been rescued from the tree.

The female college student was crouching beside her boyfriend, tears streaming down her face, "They say, they have a pregnant woman! They fear infection! They won’t open the door!"

The path made by the crowd for the director of the town health clinic to pass through, who was walking fast with a grim face, followed by a nurse sweating profusely.

The director’s white coat was stained with blood, his complexion as dark as the heavy storm clouds, and before he even reached the door of the small office, he pointed at the door and roared, "Refuse to open the door? Won’t open, why don’t you break it down for me! Who gave them the privilege to monopolize a room!"

Suddenly, the onlooking crowd went silent, nobody spoke, and the nurses all looked outraged but hesitant to speak, while the soldiers who assisted with the stretchers had the most physical strength, and if it came to breaking the door, they would be the strongest. But they couldn’t! Their strength could be used to protect the country and at the forefront of flood rescue missions! Yet at this moment, they could only avoid the director’s gaze and look elsewhere.

"Break it! I’ll break it!" The weeping college girl stepped forward, kicking and punching the door, but to no avail.

"Step aside! I’ll do it!" The director, in a rage, kicked the door, and after a loud bang, the door shook.

With that kind of force, the door might not withstand his kicks for long. A panicked man’s voice came from inside, "You... you dare kick again? My wife is right behind the door, and she’s pregnant! If you break it down and hurt her, can you take responsibility?"

The director kicked again, "I’ll break it down today, no matter what! Wife and child – they’re yours! You don’t care about them! And yet you threaten others?"

"Director..." the sweat-drenched nurse panicked, grabbed him tightly, and lowered her voice, "This is not right..."

"Don’t talk to me about regulations! If I can’t get this door open today, I will stop being the director, stop being a doctor!"

The director’s voice was as loud as thunder, he was about to kick again when the door swung open from the inside. Wang and his mother spread their arms, protectively standing in the doorway like an eagle sheltering its young, blocking entry.
