Fang Enhua paused, his expression stiffening. "But if we don't find the medical book, you might not be cured, Junhua. It’s just the two of us left in the Fang family. I don’t want to lose you."
Fang Junhua’s eyes reddened. "But I don’t want my brother to scheme against people or do immoral things because of me. Life isn’t just about staying alive; it’s about living with meaning. As Wen Tianxiang said, 'Death comes to all, but let our loyal hearts shine in history.' I may not reach that height, but I want to come into this world clean and leave it clean. Brother, you don’t want me to live in guilt and pain forever, do you?"
Fang Enhua opened her mouth to speak but stayed silent. Finally, she said, "I’ll go get some water." She picked up the thermos by the bed and walked out of the ward. Seeing Zhu Yanyi and the other four people at the door, she blinked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Hui Junlan looked at Fang Enhua. "Fang Enhua, I was angry that you tried to scheme against me. But after hearing your conversation with your sister, I have to admit, her character is far better than yours."
Fang Enhua gave a bitter smile. "What good is good character if life is still slipping away? Hui Junlan, if you truly pity my sister, help me get that medical book." Clearly, he had no intention of giving up.
Hui Junlan stared at him. "Fang Enhua, how big is your face? I don’t know the details of this medical book, but I know that if it’s in our Hui clan, it must be kept by the Clan Leader. I’m just an ordinary person. How would I know where it is? Even if I did, do you think I’d offend my entire clan for your sister? Are you suggesting I’m crazy?"
Fang Enhua wanted to argue but knew he couldn’t. His previous words had indeed been unethical. He looked at Hui Junlan. "Since you won’t help us, why are you here?"
"Does this Second Hospital of the Capital belong to your family?" Ma Yaya spoke up. "Just because you’re here, does that mean we can’t be?"
Fang Enhua ignored them and walked past. Since they couldn’t help her, she had no intention of engaging further. Watching her leave, Hui Junlan turned to Zhu Yanyi. "Yanyi, can you save her sister?"
"Weren’t you just arguing with her?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile. "Why are you thinking about saving her now?"
"I argued with her because I dislike her arrogance. But I want to save her because her sister is truly wise. You heard what she said." Hui Junlan spread her hands. "I judge actions, not people. I dislike Fang Enhua’s scheming, but I admire her sister’s clarity. So, I want to help her. Is that a problem?" Hui Junlan’s face was particularly serious.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Of course not." She thought for a moment. "Let’s go. I need to make a phone call."
"What phone call?" Hui Junlan asked curiously.
Zhu Yanyi explained helplessly, "As a patient under a doctor’s care, no matter how skilled that doctor is, the patient belongs to their responsibility. I can’t just treat her without following protocol. I need to call my senior brother first. She knows the director of the Second Hospital of the Capital. Then, we can transfer the patient to me. It’s a standard procedure, and we can’t skip it."
"Oh." Hui Junlan nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
