Chapter 924
When Yu Leyou heard He Xiangxiang’s words, he had an incomprehensible expression on his face.
He didn’t understand why He Xiangxiang, who had always been serious and responsible in front of him, had suddenly become an unreasonable person.
Yu Leyou was thoroughly enraged.
“You don’t agree? What right do you have to disagree? In order for the patient to receive surgery, she wrote a disclaimer and took all the risks alone. What else do you want her to do?”
He Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said, “Director, you only saw the superficial work she did and didn’t think deeper?”
“What do you mean?”
He Xiangxiang raised her hand and pointed at Melody Fox’s nose. “That’s right. She wrote a disclaimer, but have you thought about what kind of person Mr. Ou is? If something really happens to him, will the Ou family only deal with her?
From the moment you asked me to bring her in, she was in the same boat as us. If she caused trouble, none of us would be able to escape!
“Rather than letting Mr. Ou die on the operating table, it’s better to just die in the ward. Our responsibility will be smaller…”
This was what He Xiangxiang was most worried about. It was also one of the main reasons why she disregarded her image and obstructed Melody Fox in front of Yu Leyou.
“Are you done?”
Yu Leyou’s expression was cold as he said, “If you’re done, then go home.”
He Xiangxiang was stunned.
“Home… What do you mean?”
Yu Leyou coldly met He Xiangxiang’s gaze and said, “If you don’t understand, I’ll repeat it one last time. He Xiangxiang, your condition today isn’t suitable for work. Go home and rest now!”
He Xiangxiang widened her eyes in disbelief.
“You’re kicking me out for her?”
“What do you mean for her… I’m not doing it for anyone. I just feel that you’re not in a good state to continue staying here today.”
“Director!!” He Xiangxiang’s eyes turned red. It was unknown if she was aggrieved, angry, or both.
Yu Leyou didn’t even look at He Xiangxiang. He turned to look at the others in the department and said, “Is there anyone else like her who feels that their condition isn’t good and can’t participate in Mr. Ou’s surgery? Pack your things and go back to rest with He Xiangxiang immediately!”
He Xiangxiang’s eyelids trembled.
So that was what Yu Leyou meant…
Was he trying to protect her?
That was true. As long as everyone in the department went back to rest “due to illness,” the Ou family would not be able to pursue the responsibility of so many people.
The grievance in He Xiangxiang’s heart instantly dissipated, replaced by a pair of bright eyes that stared straight at Yu Leyou.
But soon, He Xiangxiang became puzzled again.
If Yu Leyou really felt sorry for them and didn’t want them to be implicated, why didn’t he directly stop Melody Fox’s plan to carry out the surgery immediately?
Just as He Xiangxiang couldn’t figure it out, three doctors from the same department slowly stood up.
“Department Director Yu, we…”
Yu Leyou’s gaze swept across the three of them.
Among the three of them, other than a male doctor who was close to He Xiangxiang, one of them was a female doctor who was about to give birth in two months, and the other was a male doctor with a very heavy family burden.
Considering their personal circumstances, Yu Leyou said, “You two can go back first.”
The two of them nodded guiltily and quickly left the office.
“Is there anyone else?” Yu Leyou raised his voice. “Is there anyone else who feels uncomfortable and needs to go home?”
Everyone looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes. No one stepped forward.
Dr. Fox was a person who had nothing to do with Mr. Ou’s illness. If he had the guts to take the initiative to write an exemption letter, what reason did they have to retreat?
Moreover, although He Xiangxiang made it sound nice when the family members came, she would arrange for them to sign the papers. Wait, wait…
However, in reality, this was just a deliberate technique to delay the procedure. By the time the family members arrived, so many hours would have been wasted. Mr. Ou would have long been powerless to reverse the situation.
Although they were afraid that the Ou family would cause trouble, most of them were unwilling to see the patient die in vain.
Although the risk of the surgery was high, if it dragged on like this, he would definitely die.
Dr. Fox’s decision was actually extremely correct. It was just that they did not dare to take this step at the beginning.
The appearance of Melody Fox made them determined to save the patient.
Being a doctor was not just a profession!
After the two of them left, the remaining male doctor saw that no one else walked forward. He immediately felt complicated.
However, when he looked at He Xiangxiang, he suddenly felt courageous.
He mustered his courage and asked, “Director Yu, then Xiangxiang and I…”
“From now on, you and Xiangxiang Beila can apply to be transferred to another department! Give me the application tomorrow. I’ll sign it and explain the reason!”
He Xiangxiang and the male doctor’s faces suddenly turned pale.
Explain the reason… Which other department would accept them?
No wonder!
No wonder Yu Leyou did not reject Melody Fox’s plan.
He was not protecting her at all. Instead, he had completely abandoned her!
He Xiangxiang had been thinking about something different just now, but now, she suddenly understood.
However, after thinking it through, He Xiangxiang would rather not think it through herself.
She was like a frosted eggplant, looking listless and dispirited.
The male doctor was also completely flustered. He quickly changed his words and said, “Department Director Yu, don’t chase us away! I know I was wrong. I was just anxious just now. I was worried that something would happen to Mr. Ou, so I stood up. It’s not that I don’t have the courage to take responsibility…
However, Yu Leyou did not give them any room to maneuver. He said coldly, “I’ve already said that I didn’t chase you away. It’s just that you’re really not suited to be here.”
The male doctor was anxious. The cardiologist’s popularity was not for show. He did not want to be chased out just like that!
Moreover, Director Yu was the youngest among all the department directors. After he left, the other department directors would not have it as easy as him.
He hurriedly tugged at He Xiangxiang and urged, “Xiangxiang, don’t just stand there. Say something! Aren’t you Director Yu’s assistant? Hurry up and beg him with me!”
He Xiangxiang recovered slightly from the blow.
However, she was not as hysterical as the male doctor. She only looked at Yu Leyou with tears in her eyes and asked calmly, “Department Director Yu, are you really going to chase me away?”
“I’ve already repeated this more than once. My department doesn’t welcome the two of you in the future.”
Yu Leyou looked at He Xiangxiang, and her businesslike manner made He Xiangxiang’s heartache again.
She could no longer hide her inner thoughts and blurted out, “Yu Leyou, so my long-standing crush was all just wishful thinking?”
Yu Leyou was stunned. He furrowed his brows and asked, “What are you talking about?”
“I said, I like you! Don’t you like me at all?”
Yu Leyou had a ridiculous expression on his face.
“He Xiangxiang, what do you think this place is? What is it now?”
