Episode 17 recap: Qiang Wei was saved from attempting suicide.
The patient became emotionally agitated and cursed the doctors, calling them all frauds. Lin Yi said that she could blame them, but she still hoped that the patient could gather herself, accept the surgery, and continue with her life. Zhou Xiao Feng got angry and asked Chen Yue if it was fun to deceive and cheat others. Chen Yue said she was just joking, but Zhou Xiao Feng said she was not in the mood for jokes with Chen Yue.
Lin Yi mentioned that they usually go to Xi Li Hospital, where Professor Cao would help keep things confidential. Zhou Xiao Feng said that once the situation stabilized, they would let Lin Yi's brother leave the hospital. After Lin Yi's brother's condition stabilized, he was transferred to another hospital. Lin Yi assured her brother that his colleagues wouldn't find out now.
Lin Yi's brother mentioned that he had been diagnosed for eight years, and for the doctors, it should already be considered a miracle. He would strive to create more miracles. Cao Shi Mu heard about Lin Yi's brother being hospitalized and came to visit, bringing a red envelope for Lin Yi. Lin Yi felt that she had been working hard for many years, and Cao Shi Mu said that one couldn't refuse a red envelope from an elder.
Lin Yi went to the hospital, and Zhou Xiao Feng said that Lin Yi didn't have to come so early. Lin Yi said that she genuinely wanted to come. Lin Yi apologized to Zhou Xiao Feng for all the night shifts that she had missed. Lin Yi went to see Yang Gui Lan and found out that Yang Gui Lan and Qiang Wei were in the same ward. Yang Gui Lan said that she liked Qiang Wei, so she had requested to be placed together.
Lin Yi reminded Yang Gui Lan not to eat those things anymore, and Yang Gui Lan said that she absolutely wouldn't eat them. She also mentioned that Qiang Wei didn't sleep at night and went to the intensive care unit to accompany Jian Bo, saying that it wasn't right not to sleep. Qiang Wei said that she couldn't sleep during this period. Lin Yi said that she would have someone prescribe some sleeping pills for Qiang Wei as she believed that Qiang Wei needed proper rest.
Suddenly, Jian Bo's eyes opened, and the nurse quickly called the doctor. The doctor called Jian Bo's parents, who hurried over, but Jian Bo still passed away. The nurse came to Qiang Wei's ward and called her, but Qiang Wei had taken sleeping pills and couldn't be awakened.
Qiang Wei found out that Jian Bo had passed away and went to see him, taking out the two rings they had prepared and placed them on Jian Bo and herself.
Qiang Wei happened to overhear the nurses discussing how Zhou Xiao Feng and the others had deceived her. They had initially intended for Qiang Wei to undergo the surgery properly, but unfortunately, they didn't have enough time.
Lin Yi and the others came to see Qiang Wei, but she became emotionally agitated and cursed at them, calling them all liars. Lin Yi and the others didn't dare to further upset Qiang Wei, so they had to leave. Lin Yi now truly regretted it, realizing that Zhou Xiao Feng was right, and she had been too naive in her previous thinking.
Fang Xiao Ran also felt guilty since they had all deceived Qiang Wei together. Lin Yi came to find Qiang Wei and told her that she could blame them, but she still hoped that she could gather herself, accept the surgery, and continue with her life. Qiang Wei attempted suicide, but luckily Yang Gui Lan secretly went out to eat and encountered Qiang Wei cutting her wrists in the stairwell. Yang Gui Lan called a nurse, and Qiang Wei was saved.
Chen Yue coincidentally bumped into Zhou Xiao Feng while she was running and mentioned that Zhou Xiao Feng hadn't replied to her messages but was constantly checking her social media updates. Chen Yue admitted that she had deceived Zhou Xiao Feng, and there were no visitor records on her social media.
Zhou Xiao Feng got angry and asked Chen Yue if it was fun to deceive and trick others. Chen Yue said she was just joking, but Zhou Xiao Feng said she wasn't in the mood to joke with Chen Yue. Zhou Xiao Feng calmed down for a moment and apologized to Chen Yue, explaining the situation with Qiang Wei.
Chen Yue felt that Zhou Xiao Feng hadn't done anything wrong either. While actively lying was indeed problematic, in that situation, Zhou Xiao Feng's choice not to expose the truth wasn't necessarily a mistake. Yang Gui Lan came to console Qiang Wei and shared her own experience of losing her husband and child during the Wenchuan earthquake. At that time, she had also felt hopeless and wanted to join them, but she eventually realized that she should live on and carry their legacy.
Qiang Wei couldn't help but burst into tears, and Yang Gui Lan believed that crying it out would be cathartic for her.
This middle-aged lady is an experienced actress. It seems like she often enjoys drinking and snacking on peanuts while watching. Yang Auntie is definitely no stranger to this habit. She's only three years old, and the doctor has repeatedly emphasized that she should not drink alcohol anymore because it's not suitable for her childish nature.
I have to say, Yang Auntie has such a positive attitude! She has been to the hospital three times already, so she's quite familiar with the surroundings. She's really adorable!
After taking her medicine, she still opens her mouth wide.
She truly acts like a child, this Yang Auntie. She even secretly eats food in places she shouldn't (while watching short videos, I guess she drools all over the floor at night). But why do I always feel sorry for her?
You see, other patients usually have caregivers or family members with them, but Yang Auntie has been alone throughout the whole process. It seems like Dr. Fang is still angry! He selectively ignores Director Lin, and every time Director Lin tries to speak, he hesitates.
Sigh... So, how does Yang Auntie manage to appear so cheerful and warm, bringing sunshine to others? Her son and husband both passed away in an earthquake. Just thinking about it makes one's heart ache. She's 70 years old!
No one takes care of her, except for her nephew who only cares about money. Director Lin, your pun on homophones is really hilarious! Where did you find it? "Duck" instead of "dark," it's so childish.
No wonder you two make a pair.
