章 13: Giving Up on the Treatment
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three of them rushed to Ye Qin's ward and saw Qiao Weimin talking to the doctor.
"We only spent so much money because you said there was a chance for my wife to recover, Dr. Wang, what do you have to say now that my wife is dying?"
"I said there was a chance, Mr. Qiao, it really depends on the condition of the patient and none of us expected Mrs. Qiao's condition to deteriorate so quickly," the doctor quickly explained.
"I don't care. We still have your medicines at home and they are all imported, I want a refund since she can't take them anymore," Qiao Weimin demanded, even though he knew it was unlikely that the hospital would give him back his money.
The imported medicines had easily cost a few thousand and he had stockpiled quite a number of them at home. He could at least get some of his money back if the hospital was willing to take them back.
"Very well, you can give me the unopened ones and I will get a refund for you," said Dr. Wang resignedly.
Physician Gan shook his head and approached them. "Mr. Qiao? I took a look at your daughter's prescription and confirmed that it can help your wife. Would you like to collect the medicine now?" Physician Gan asked carefully.
"What are you saying?" Qiao Weimin frowned in confusion.
Jing Yunzhao was an orphan who hardly left the house; it would be a joke if she had a prescription that could help Ye Qin.
"What I am saying is that we can save your wife's life if she takes the medicine according to this prescription," Physician Gan explained patiently.
Qiao Weimin knitted his brows and went silent for a while, then asked, "is this Jing Yunzhao's prescription?"
"Yes," said Physician Gan.
"I don't agree to use the prescription if that is the case," said Qiao Weimin coldly, "you doctors were just saying that there was nothing you could do to save my wife, and now you are telling me that a prescription that my daughter provided can save her? Are you saying that I should have just let my daughter treat my wife in the first place? Also, my daughter is just a young girl. Who will take responsibility if the prescription worsens my wife's condition? You?"
"The patient's condition can't get any worse, so there is no harm in trying." Not expecting the patient's family to be so difficult, Physician Gan tried his best to convince him. It had always been the patients begging him for prescriptions, and this was the first time when he had to beg for the patient to get treated.
"Try? Why bother? My wife's suffering is finally coming to an end after so long, why can't you just let her die in peace? Also, aren't you my wife's attending doctor, Dr. Wang? Who is this old man and what does he want now?" Qiao Weimin asked crossly.
Dr. Wang was a young doctor who studied overseas and had a promising future, but he was unhappy with Physician Gan because it might damage his reputation if the older doctor saved a patient he had declared beyond cure.
"With all due respect, Physician Gan, isn't what you are doing now quite inappropriate? Also, the patient's family has refused to use the prescription. I don't think it is good if we keep insisting on it," said Dr. Wang smilingly.
Physician Gan clenched his fists, holding in his rage at Qiao Weimin.
He couldn't believe that he, Gan Songbo, a well-respected physician in the hospital was being cast aside like an old glove after he informed them about a prescription he confirmed to be helpful.
Moreover, it was not difficult for someone of his age to tell what kind of person Qiao Weimin is. Did Qiao Weimin really have no faith in the prescription? No! Qiao Weimin was making a fuss about the prescription simply because he didn't want to save the patient.
Physician Gan was willing to save the patient, but what could he do when the patient's family refused his help?
"There is nothing I can do if your father refuses to use the prescription, little girl. You have to accept it," Physician Gan sighed and said to Jing Yunzhao, then stepped out of the ward.
"I understand. Thank you, Physician Gan," Jing Yunzhao nodded and said softly.
She had tried her best to help, and there was nothing she could do if the other side refused to accept her help. She had paid her debt, and the Qiao Family was the one who owed her from now on.
章 14: Making False Accusations
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
What Qiao Weimin said annoyed both Physician Gan and Ms. Kim.
Ms. Kim, as a young and passionate teacher, felt sorry for Jing Yunzhao and was worried about her future.
How did Jing Yunzhao survive in a toxic family like this without her real mother? Although she had a younger brother and sister, it seemed like they were not close at all. Qiao Hongye and Qiao Zizhou had just stood aside and watched everything happen since they arrived at the hospital.
Although concerned, there was nothing much that Ms. Kim could do at the moment and she returned to the school after comforting Jing Yunzhao.
Ye Qin was barely breathing as night fell and had no choice but to stay in the hospital. Qiao Weimin was a male chauvinist who hated taking care of others, but he was worried that Jing Yunzhao might give Ye Qin the medicines on the prescription she found so for the first time ever, he volunteered to look after Ye Qin in the hospital.
Qiao Hongye, who only cared about her reputation, volunteered to stay too. Qiao Zizhou was too selfish to take care of someone and wasn't bothered about what others would think of him, so he went home at 11pm.
Ye Qin was declared dead the next afternoon, and her body was covered with a white cloth.
Jing Yunzhao sighed deeply knowing that Ye Qin only passed away so early because of her unreliable husband.
They held a simple funeral for Ye Qin where only some close friends and relatives came to pay their condolences. The Qiao Family were all exhausted after entertaining the visitors those few days and were relieved when the funeral was finally over.
Qiao Weimin didn't need to pretend to be grieving anymore and was relaxing at home, sipping wine. Qiao Hongye and Qiao Zizhou were with him at the dining table. While the Qiao siblings were sad about the passing of their mother, they were exhausted after the funeral and were relieved that it was over.
"Can me and Zizhou go back to school tomorrow, Father? We have been missing classes and won't be able to catch up if we continue to miss classes," said Qiao Hongye sweetly.
"Fine. All three of you should go to school," Qiao Weimin slurred and nodded, his face flushed.
"Who is going to take care of the household chores now that Mother is not around, Father? It must be difficult to support our studies after spending so much to treat Mother… I wish I was old enough to help you out," said Qiao Hongye apologetically.
Knowing that Qiao Hongye was only one year younger than her, Jing Yunzhao sneered scornfully.
Did Qiao Hongye think that she wouldn't understand what she was trying to say? Wasn't she just trying to convince Qiao Weimin to make her, as the eldest child, quit school to stay at home and take care of the three of them?
Ye Qin had once tried to make her quit school but she finally gave up on the idea because Jing Yunzhao did not spend a single cent to go to school, and also because she was worried about the gossip that might spread.
It was a known fact that Jing Yunzhao was the top student in her school. She might have been accused of being biased if she forced someone as talented as Jing Yunzhao to quit school and she did not want that to happen.
"My daughter, you are such a good girl…" Since Qiao Weimin was drunk, he did not understand what Qiao Hongye was implying. Qiao Hongye wished that she could say it more explicitly, but she told herself not to since her father was just going to forget all about it when he was sober the next day.
The next morning, Qiao Hongye couldn't help but sulk when she saw Jing Yunzhao leaving the house before the Qiao siblings. She rushed to Qiao Weimin's room after Jing Yunzhao left and frowned when she smelled the overwhelming scent of alcohol in his room.
Qiao Weimin was lying on his bed in his underwear. The windows were closed and the room was in a mess. Qiao Hongye, being a neat freak, began to feel sick as soon as she stepped into the room.
"Wake up, Father!" Qiao Hongye took a deep breath and said loudly to wake Qiao Weimin up.
