Chapter 24: Dead Here
"Old Master Bo, please?" Mu Qing turned to Old Master for help.
As the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets. The old man declared, "Mu Qing, I command you to come to my place every day after work and have a chat with me!"
"Young Master Bo, you see… Old Master has already stated it…"
At that moment, the door handle turned, and someone sneaked into the ward.
"Old Master Bo, it\'s me." Su Jing, disheveled, entered and noticed Bo Yi and the others. She hastily adjusted her appearance. "Master Bo, Assistant Mu, you\'re here too?"
It was not yet 8 a.m., and family members were not allowed to visit at this hour.
Su Jing had used her former work pass to gain access through the gate before the message expired. She had taken the fire escape and evaded the cameras to reach the ward. That was how she managed to enter.
"Who allowed you to come in?" Bo Yi didn\'t hold her accountable for the previous day\'s incident, but she was audacious to enter the ward without permission.
"Old Master Bo, Master Bo, please give me another chance!" Su Jing suddenly knelt down on the ground. "I can\'t bear to leave this profession. Please, let me return to work at this hospital… Old Master Bo, considering all the efforts I\'ve made in treating you…"
"Has she been barred from the profession?" Old Master Bo inquired, turning to Mu Qing.
"Yes, your condition worsened yesterday, yet she failed to take immediate action. Instead, she attempted to harm you. She lacks medical ethics and has ill intentions! Lady Fang Yuan, who performed the surgery on you yesterday, stated that she is unworthy of being a doctor! When Dean Zheng learned about her actions, he promptly expelled her from the profession."
Mu Qing harbored no fondness for this wicked woman.
"That wretched girl is trying to tarnish my reputation in front of the dean! Old Master Bo, I am innocent. I have done everything in my power to assist you in your illness. You should remember my dedication…"
Before Su Jing could finish her plea, Young Master Bo\'s face darkened, displaying clear displeasure.
Mu Qing hadn\'t expected that, at this stage, this woman would still twist the truth and slander Lady Fang. Did she believe they were all blind and unable to see through her deceit?
"Ms. Su, I suggest you think carefully before you take any further action!" Mu Qing furrowed his brow, giving her a stern reminder. She was the one who had advocated for the heart-suppressing drugs and comfort just the previous day, and now she was shifting the blame onto someone else? Lady Fang Yuan was the one who had saved Old Master\'s life, and Su Jing had the audacity to call her a damned girl?
"No one from the Su Family is permitted to set foot in Jing City!" Old Master abruptly declared. "Remove her from here immediately!"
Su Jing had come seeking forgiveness, yet the entire family had grown weary. "Old Master Bo, what have I done to upset you? Is it all because of a misunderstanding from yesterday?"
She clung to the legs of the bed, refusing to leave. "Old Master Bo, let me explain…"
"Hmph!" Old Master Bo glared at her. "You are not worthy of conversing with me!"
"Old Master Bo, if you don\'t show mercy, I will die right here today!" Su Jing threatened.
"Then let it be. Die right here," Old Master Bo responded, displaying no concern for whether she lived or died. "Mu Qing, give her the knife."
Mu Qing picked up the fruit knife from the table and tossed it in front of her.
Bang! Su Jing trembled in fear. She had only wanted to frighten Old Master Bo, not actually die.
"Old Master…" Seeing that the old man couldn\'t be persuaded, Su Jing began to weep. "I come from an ordinary family. I am the only daughter, the hope of my entire family. Since I was young, my dream has been to become a doctor who saves lives and helps the injured…"
"A doctor? Are you qualified to be a doctor?" Old Master Bo seethed with anger. "Don\'t think that I couldn\'t hear what you were saying just because I fainted yesterday! I overheard with my own ears how you insisted on giving me heart-suppressing drugs and comfort. The young lady explicitly told you that if I took them, I would have only a fleeting moment left to live. Even the gods wouldn\'t be able to save me. And yet, you were still insistent!" His rage seemed boundless.
"I…" Su Jing hadn\'t expected Old Master to have heard their conversation from the previous day. She was momentarily taken aback and fell into silence, unsure of what to say.
"If it weren\'t for my fortunate encounter with a girl passing by who happened to be the chief surgeon, I would have already perished! You can seek assistance from anyone else!"
"I expelled you from the profession and banished your entire family from Jing City for the sake of the Dean. Don\'t show such ingratitude!"
"The girl was correct. You\'re nothing more than a charlatan, not even deserving of the title! You can\'t even compare to a teenage girl!"
Su Jing\'s face turned pale. "Old Master Bo…"
