University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 649: Chapter 497: If You Want to Live Longer, Worry Less

Song saw Chen Mu nervously rubbing his hands over and over.

Suddenly, he couldn’t help but mockingly remark to the guy next to him, "I remember that Dr. Chen used to be very proactive. Even if my dad didn’t reach out to you about school matters, you’d report everything eagerly over the phone. Now, my dad is inviting you inside to give him an update, why won’t you go in, Dr. Chen?"

Chen Mu looked heavy-hearted: "I’m just thinking..."

"If I go in, chat with the principal for a while, and the principal ends up back in the ICU."

"As family members, would you sue me..."

Song started clenching his fists, "Definitely will!"

Chen Mu touched his nose, looking awkward: "I feel that the principal and I only have a normal superior-subordinate relationship, not even a direct one, so it’s not up to someone like me, a school doctor, to report. Maybe I should just leave. I think there might be a lot of work at the school clinic waiting for me, so I better go."

Saying this.

Chen Mu really wasn’t joking.

He actually turned around and was ready to leave.

Su Bingbing saw Chen Mu’s stance, blinked, and also turned around.

"????"

"I thought you were just saying it, but you actually plan to run away!"

"The principal has already invited you in, and you’re still not going?"

"Honestly, Dr. Chen not going in right now is also for the principal’s heart, right? Otherwise, what if he ends up back in ICU."

"Ask yourself, if you were the principal and saw Dr. Chen just turn and leave at this moment, wouldn’t some terrifying speculations pop into your head?"

"They would, I’d think Hai City University might be gone, hissing!"

"Worse than reality are the unfortunate things you make up in your mind. Dr. Chen is already in front of the principal. Even if Dr. Chen leaves now, the principal would definitely imagine a lot of scary things. That being the case, why not just let Dr. Chen chat a bit with the principal."

"Dr. Chen is also afraid a few words might cause more problems for the principal, didn’t you see that Dr. Chen doesn’t even dare to speak now."

"So cowardly! Tsk tsk!"

"Put yourself in Dr. Chen’s position, and you might be more hesitant than him."

"..."

—

Chen Mu left as soon as he said it.

No hesitation at all.

But just as they were waiting for the elevator, the principal’s son, Song, suddenly chased after them, "Dr. Chen, could you please come back and check on my father? My father’s emotions suddenly became agitated, and his heart seems to be in bad shape!"

Chen Mu looked at Song in front of him, not quite understanding, "Even if your father’s health suddenly had an issue, you’re in Renmin Hospital, with all the advanced equipment and enough doctors. Shouldn’t you be looking for a doctor?"

Why are you looking for me?

If it weren’t for the live camera still being there, Chen Mu would have spoken even more directly.

"Dr. Chen, it’s just that..."

Thinking about how he had thoughts of possibly wanting to expel Chen Mu just now, and then in a blink of an eye needing to invite him back.

Song felt somewhat embarrassed himself.

But even so, Song seriously looked at Chen Mu and said, "Dr. Chen, a doctor has already checked my father, and the monitor suddenly started beeping mainly because my father’s emotion had a huge fluctuation." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Chen Mu: "..."

After a brief silence.

Chen Mu spoke rather helplessly: "Are you saying your father’s sudden emotional upheaval was because I showed up?"

"What else?!" Song replied confidently.

Chen Mu, choked for a moment, fell silent again.

But Song spoke once more: "When the doctors went in for the rescue, my father strongly requested to see Dr. Chen, he wants to talk to Dr. Chen."

"Actually, as a family member, I did briefly question my father’s suggestion, I thought it wasn’t suitable for you, Dr. Chen, to meet my father right now."

Chen Mu nodded, "You’re right."

The principal and Chen Mu didn’t have any profound personal relationship, yet now the principal was so adamant about seeing Chen Mu, and with such strong intent.

Even with his eyes closed, Chen Mu could guess that the principal mostly just wanted to understand what had been happening at Hai City University during this time.

Song looked at Chen Mu in front of him and sighed, "But the attending physician suggested that if possible, it would be best for you two to meet."

"Otherwise, my father’s emotions may become too agitated, without getting an answer, he might spiral into overthinking and keep fixating on Hai City University matters, causing the condition to deteriorate further and sending him back to ICU..."

Chen Mu: "..."

—

"I understand, no matter if Dr. Chen goes to chat with the principal or not, sees the principal or not, if the principal’s condition worsens, Dr. Chen is the scapegoat."

"There’s no way around it, how could Dr. Chen coming here to see the principal not make the principal emotional when he suddenly sees him?!"

"So, when everything is Dr. Chen’s fault, he just shouldn’t have come to see the principal!"

"But could it be possible, given the principal’s level of dedication to Hai City University, even if Dr. Chen didn’t come to see the principal today, getting stuck on wanting to see him would still happen?"

"So... no matter what, the principal still has a chance of ending up back in ICU?"

"I’m already starting to feel sorry for Dr. Chen, he backed off as requested, and now, sigh..."
