Sun Chan frowned and said, "I don't know anything! What's going on? Take me over to have a look. If it really has something to do with me, I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
"Alright! We're reasonable people. Come with us and take a look."
The problem lay with the man Sun Chan helped Li Zhaodi take care of yesterday.
Last night, the man suddenly started vomiting non-stop. Vomitus entered his windpipe, and he nearly died. He was rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment and then to the ICU, and he still hasn't woken up.
Li Zhaodi was so scared that she stood outside the door crying.
The family members grabbed her to ask what happened, and she just said she had been taking good care of him and that nothing would ever happen!
"Actually, during the day, I went out to send a telegram, and it was Sun Chan who was watching over him."
That's why the family was waiting at the hospital entrance to settle the score with Sun Chan.
It wasn't just them; Bai Fanglan also came, watching her with a hint of a smile and saying with schadenfreude, "It must have been that she gave the patient water. Otherwise, such a thing wouldn't happen. You can't blame Sun Chan, as she doesn't understand these medical common knowledge, being from the village and barely literate. She surely didn't do it on purpose."
It seemed like she was defending her, but in reality, she was harming her.
Sure enough, the family members started shouting together: "You don't understand anything, how are you a caregiver? What exactly is going on at your hospital? You wicked girl, are you not afraid of retribution for causing deaths without any remorse?"
Someone even wanted to hit her, but other patients watching the scene stopped them.
Ignoring Bai Fanglan, Sun Chan looked at Li Zhaodi's red, tearful eyes and walked over, saying, "When I was with him, his surgery had just ended, and he never woke up. Mingming was the one who gave the patient water, why blame it on me? You're new here. I don't believe Aunt Wang didn't tell you before caring for patients!"
Li Zhaodi shivered all over. Indeed, Aunt Wang had told her, but she'd forgotten. Her mind was only preoccupied with saving up some money in the city and going back to find a good partner to marry. Why would she pay attention to Aunt Wang's nagging? The patient kept saying he was thirsty; who'd think giving a bit of water would lead to this?
Now that something so serious had happened, of course, she couldn't admit it. What if the patient died? Wouldn't she lose her newly gained job?
So, Li Zhaodi shouted, "That's not true! He was already awake! You harmed the patient and are turning the blame on me? Sun Chan, my aunt said you were a good person. I didn't expect you were so good at framing an innocent person, wasting my aunt's help for you!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion. Bai Fanglan said, "That's not surprising. This woman is always like this. Last time she even hit me, a doctor, but I didn't mind. But she went straight to the dean to complain about me. A typical case of the guilty party taking the lead in accusing others."
Sun Chan glared over, and Bai Fanglan lifted her chin, as if to say, "What can you do?"
"This is too much! You despicable person, if she dies, we'll hold you accountable!" The family members once again came rushing over, punching and kicking. Sun Chan dodged to the side but still got a few kicks. She gritted her teeth and looked at Li Zhaodi: "How can you be like this? Don't you have a conscience saying that?"
Li Zhaodi didn't take it seriously. After all, she had no background, just a girl from the village with no parents; at most, she'd get angry—what could she do? So she cried out: "Sun Chan sister, you can't ruin me like this! It was clearly you who did it!"
Sun Chan's heart turned icy cold. She always intended out of goodwill, even spending her own money when she had none, yet she didn't expect to be bitten back like this. It was a matter of life and death, and Li Zhaodi could lie blatantly with open eyes!
Aunt Wang hurried over, got hold of Li Zhaodi, and asked what's going on. She didn't say anything, just kept crying.
Bai Fanglan frowned and said, "Sun Chan, you also shouldn't be heartless. After all, Aunt Wang was the one who introduced you to the job. Blaming it on Li Zhaodi is simply morally corrupt!"
Sun Chan calmly said, "I didn't do it. This is Li Zhaodi framing me. When the patient recovers, they'll naturally be able to say who really gave him the water."
Li Zhaodi's face stiffened and then she continued to cry. Worry seeped into her heart: What if the patient said something?
Aunt Wang looked at Li Zhaodi and then at Sun Chan, stamping her foot and covering her face in tears: "What is going on!"
The patient's family members were also baffled, not knowing who was really responsible.
Li Zhaodi pushed Aunt Wang away, grabbing Sun Chan by the collar: "It was you! You did it!"
"Let go of me!" Sun Chan coldly pulled her hand away.
Li Zhaodi sobbed and shouted: "You're so wicked, Sun Chan, you're going to ruin my whole life!"
Sun Chan saw her turning the tables, snorted coldly, "Ask your conscience, Li Zhaodi!"
At this moment, someone from the back of the crowd rushed over and slapped Li Zhaodi across the face. Her face instantly swelled, almost knocking her unconscious. The person wanted to hit again, but was pulled aside by others—it was Han Dong.
Han Dong originally came to share good news with Sun Chan that his parents had arranged a job for him at the Hydroelectric Bureau as a clerk. He proposed this request when he returned home yesterday, making his parents so happy since he'd been rebellious for so long and wouldn't listen. Now he wanted to shape up!
They immediately made calls overnight to acquaintances and secured the job. Who would have thought he'd encounter such an incident when reporting the good news?
Han Dong pointed at her nose and said, "Shameless, I was right beside the patient when Sun Chan was looking after him. He wasn't awake, yet you dare smear her!"
Aunt Wang helped Li Zhaodi up: "Are you okay, not hurt?" Now she mostly understood; Sun Chan couldn't have done such a thing, but she couldn't bring herself to expose Li Zhaodi. Ashamed, Aunt Wang didn't dare meet Sun Chan's eyes. Naturally, she didn't pursue Han Dong hitting Li Zhaodi either.
Li Zhaodi sniffled and said, "Aunt, it's alright, as long as Sister Sun Chan can calm down, it doesn't matter what happens."
Sun Chan frowned, "What do you mean? Are you saying I had him hit you?"
"I know I have no connections, but everything I do is with a clear conscience." With her head down, Li Zhaodi wept continuously, appearing utterly aggrieved.
"This woman isn't being honest! See how I deal with her!" Han Dong wanted to hit her again.
Sun Chan stopped him, "Don't make trouble. You're not helping by doing this—you're harming me! A grown man hitting a woman, do you think that's honorable?"
Han Dong couldn't argue with her and pointed at Li Zhaodi, "How can you be so evil, blaming your mistake on her? Don't let me see you, or I'll hit you every time I do!"
Bai Fanglan turned back and said, "Go to the security department and have Sun Chan and this person arrested! Killing a patient and still beating people and making threats—what kind of behavior is this? Sun Chan should be fired immediately! She must not remain in the hospital!"
