âBut I canât bear to leave you.â
âWhatâs there to miss? Call me if you miss me. Itâs not like we wonât see each other again. Iâm still in Zhonghai. Donât make it look like weâre parting forever.â
The news of Lin Yiâs resignation quickly spread throughout the cardiology department.
All the nurses surrounded Lin Yi, their expressions sad. They couldnât bear to see Lin Yi leave.
During Lin Yiâs time here, they had felt a lot of joy.
Even though he had an extraordinary status, he treated ordinary nurses like friends. They were now very comfortable with Lin Yi.
Now that he suddenly wanted to resign, it was emotionally unacceptable to them.
Other than these nurses, the people in the other wards also walked out.
These people had basically all been operated on by Lin Yi. They all had feelings for this responsible doctor.
This was because many of their illnesses were very serious. Even if they went to other hospitals, the doctors there might not dare to accept them.
If Lin Yi hadnât operated on him, they might not have survived until now.
âDirector Lin, I heard that youâre resigning. Who are we going to look for in the future?â
âJust look for Director Li. Sheâs much better than me,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lin Yiâs heart warmed when he saw the people in the ward.
Although he had been busy for so long and had not received a silk banner, it seemed worth it in return for these peopleâs gratitude.
âAlright, everyone, calm down. Iâm not anybody special. Donât cry. Iâll come back in the future. Iâm just leaving temporarily. Thereâs no need to be like this.â
âDirector Lin, how about this? I wonât sign your resignation application. Iâll give you an extended leave. You can decide when you want return. You can also keep your current position and pay.â
âWell â¦â
Lin Yi thought for a few seconds. âThen give me extended leave, but forget about the pay. I donât need the money. Thereâs no need to do this.â
âAlright, weâll do as you say.â
Knowing that Lin Yi didnât lack money, Miao Guofeng didnât insist.
As long as Lin Yi didnât leave the hospital, he could not ask for much else.
âThank you, Director Lin. We donât know how to thank you,â Liu Zihaoâs father said excitedly. Then, he and his wife bowed deeply to Lin Yi.
âAlright, alright. Donât be so sad. Iâll be leaving first.â
âBrother Lin, Iâll miss you. Director Li will miss you too,â Qiao Xin said as she wiped her tears.
âDonât cry. Itâs making me upset.â
Lin Yi waved his hand, and the nurses and patients made way for him to leave.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the crowd.
A young woman ran in with a stack of documents in her hand.
The person who spoke was called Li Yuan. Lin Yi had some impression of her as she was Miao Guofengâs secretary.
âDirector Miao, someone anonymously donated three million yuan to a patient named Liu Zihao and left a message to wish him a speedy recovery.â
âSomeone donated 3 million?!â
Hearing this news, everyone present was shocked.
This was not a small sum. It was enough to pay for the SMA treatment.
âWow, someone actually donated so much money?!â
When Liu Zihaoâs parents and family heard this news, they were so excited that they were speechless.
They were about to go home and sell the house, but they never thought that someone would donate so much money.
God was too kind to the Liu family.
Li Chuhan, who was standing at the side, didnât say a word and only glanced at Lin Yi indifferently.
Other than Lin Yi, it was impossible for anyone else to donate so much money at this juncture.
This was because Liu Zihaoâs illness was very special. Even if the surgery was successful, SMA was still fatal.
Without sufficient medical support, the surgery would be in vain.
Therefore, the money must have come from him.
âThe money came at the right time. Now that the surgery has been completed, we can start the SMA treatment in a few days.â Lin Yi smiled.
The Liu family was overjoyed. They were so excited that they did not know what to say.
This period was definitely torturous for them both mentally and physically.
However, now, not only was the surgery successful, but the problem regarding the expensive medicine had also been solved.
To them, there was no better news than this.
The husband and wife held each other, tears spilling from their eyes uncontrollably.
âOld Liu, there are too many kind people in this world. Without them, our child would be finished,â Liu Zihaoâs mother said.
âLetâs thank Director Lin first. If Director Lin hadnât taken us in, we wouldnât have gotten to where we are today.â
The two of them knelt on the ground excitedly again, but Lin Yi stopped them.
âDonât keep doing this. Iâm not used to it,â Lin Yi said.
âNow that all the problems have been resolved, work harder to earn money in the future and nurture your child into a responsible adult. This is your responsibility.â
âYes, yes, yes. Thank you, Director Lin.â
âAlright, you guys go do your own things. I should go too.â Lin Yi waved his hand and left.
However, just as he walked out, he saw Liang Ruoxu appear not far away.
She was also holding a large box in her hand. Lin Yi did not know what it was.
âWhy are you still here?â
âI knew you were leaving today, so I came over to visit.â
âYou people really like to join in the fun. Itâs just a resignation. Whatâs there to see?â
Liang Ruoxu tidied her hair. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with gentleness and gratitude.
âBecause youâre not like the others.â
âIâm just a little more handsome than others. I feel embarrassed when you praise me like that.â
âYouâre still being cheeky at a time like this. Canât you be more proper?â
Liang Ruoxu looked up at the teary-eyed people and whispered,
âDidnât you say that you wouldnât care about this matter? Why did you secretly donate three million yuan?â
âWho told you that I donated it? I didnât leave my name on the donation.â
âYou can fool others, but you canât fool me. Other than you, no one else would donate money at this juncture, not to mention this amount.â
Lin Yi was speechless. âItâs good that you know, but donât let them find out. Otherwise, I wonât be able to leave once they start crying.â
Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi and said gently,
âThank you.â
Those three simple words seemed to hold all of Liang Ruoxuâs gentleness.
Lin Yiâs body went numb. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThank you for doing this for the commoners. I will always remember this in my heart.â Liang Ruoxu combed her hair and sighed.
âItâs a loss for everyone if someone like you leaves the job. No one deserves to wear this white coat more than you.â
âWhy are you talking about such useless things? A substantial reward is better than anything else.â
âI knew youâd say that, so I brought you a gift.â
Liang Ruoxu opened the box in his hand, and Lin Yi excitedly discovered that there was a silk banner inside!
Liang Ruoxu opened the banner. There were nineteen words written on it.
âOther than those covered by three layers of snow, no one is more worthy of wearing white than you.â
