Chapter 962: [962] Her decision was not easy

Fu Xinheng clasped his hands under his jaw, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Teacher Lu," Tao Zhijie explained gently and persuasively, "I’ve arranged for us to stay at a clinic for a routine check-up. Once we clearly understand your physical condition, everyone can rest assured."

"No need." Teacher Lu glared at him. "If there’s a problem, I’ll seek medical help, otherwise why should I stay in a hospital? Is a hospital a good place? You’re a doctor; you know better than anyone that hospitals have the most germs and disinfectants. Am I going to the hospital to get sick when I’m not?"

Footsteps echoed in the corridor, and a person brushed past Doctor Zhong and asked, "Where’s Teacher Lu?"

Teacher Lu looked up and saw Yu Xuexian coming, and couldn’t help feeling alarmed, "Why are more people coming? Who called you?"

Yu Xuexian stopped in his tracks, his forehead covered in sweat, anxiously raising his voice, "How could I not come when I heard the teacher was in emergency?"

"I accompanied someone to the emergency room, I’m not here for myself. Go check on Xiaobing. She’s pregnant and needs special attention," Teacher Lu redirected the conversation.

"Xiaobing was sent for a check-up; I met her on the way here and know she’s fine. Teacher, please, stay for a check-up. If you don’t want the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, you can stay in our internal medicine department," Yu Xuexian gestured.

"As you said, staying in any department is the same, so I will not stay!" Teacher Lu seemed angry, further solidifying his decision.

"What’s her condition?" Yu Xuexian was forced to ask others, "Who first noticed something wrong with the teacher?"

Xie Wanying was once again the focus of everyone’s attention.

"Why are you all looking at her!" Teacher Lu shouted.

Teacher Lu’s pressure on her was evident.

"Xie Wanying, were you the first to notice the teacher feeling unwell? Tell us, what was his condition at the time?" Yu Xuexian pointed at her, his gesture resembling the Teaching Whip.

After a moment, Xie Wanying replied, "The teacher had a stomach ache."

"I told you, it was too hot, a bit of intestinal cramps, it’s fine now. Don’t make it difficult for her," Teacher Lu said brusquely to them, like he was giving instructions and making demands.

Being students, they had to listen to the teacher, but it wasn’t right to blindly follow everything. Thus, Teacher Lu’s words did not dissipate the piercing gaze Senior Brother Yu fixed on her.

Senior Brother Yu was glaring intensely at her, demanding she clarify everything right there.

Senior Tao’s arched eyes darkened, probably because he was also extremely dissatisfied with her earlier response.

The emergency report surely mentioned the patient’s stomach ache. They questioned her to get a precise location, aiming to facilitate further diagnostic speculation. Essentially, her response disclosed nothing; she was just covering for the patient.

Covering for a patient in front of two seniors, and not just any patient.

The group of seniors, seeing she had no intention of opening her sealed lips, instantly viewed her with incredulity, wondering what she was thinking.

Tao Zhijie’s face turned grim as he suddenly lowered his voice and commanded her, "Come with me to my office."

"Yes," Xie Wanying followed Senior Tao out.

"What are you making her do?" Teacher Lu became anxious and shouted after Tao Zhijie’s retreating figure.

"Teacher," Tao Zhijie turned around, his demeanor still calm and respectful as he explained to the teacher, "She is my student; I am taking her to discuss academics and work."

"Are you sure you’re not giving her a hard time?" Teacher Lu cast a doubtful glance at him.
