Episode 25 recap: Liu Xiaoxian felt wronged.
Upon learning that her father was hospitalized and undergoing surgery, Ma Jia immediately called Liu Xiaoxian in a state of panic, without giving her a chance to speak. Ma Jia launched a barrage of accusations, which made Liu Xiaoxian feel deeply hurt. Liu Xiaoxian explained in detail about her father's condition, and only then did Ma Jia realize that she had been taking care of her father all along. Ma Jia wanted to ease the tension, but Liu Xiaoxian had already been deeply hurt by Ma Jia's accusations. She told Ma Jia that perhaps he was right, that she was not a qualified wife, but she had done everything she could.
Reflecting on what Liu Xiaoxian had said earlier, Ma Jia realized that his brother was not present either, and Liu Xiaoxian had been busy taking care of their father all by herself. She had been extremely worried while their father lay on the operating table waiting for the surgery, and he had not received Liu Xiaoxian's call. This made Liu Xiaoxian tremble as she signed the surgical consent form, and she ended up resenting Ma Jia. She sat alone on the steps, contemplating her actions. Ma Jia tried calling Liu Xiaoxian, but by that time, she had already lost control of her emotions and refused to answer his call.
After Amadou completed his third dialysis session without producing any urine, Dimas believed that Ma Jia had done his best and concluded that there was no need for further rescue efforts. Ma Jia actually disliked the phrase "doing one's best" because it was easily spoken by doctors but cruel for patients. He refused Suleiman's offer to take over and insisted on staying in the ward himself.
The next day, Ma Jia was awakened by Suleiman's excited voice. He learned that Amadou had produced 50ml of urine within an hour, which made Ma Jia ecstatic because it indicated that Amadou's body was recovering. Dr. Qi Dan informed President Kango of his intention to leave. Although Kango was reluctant to let Qi Dan go and hoped he would stay for another year, Qi Dan was already at ease knowing that a skilled and responsible Chinese medical team was stationed at the Kassé Hospital. He wanted to go where he was needed more.
Qi Dan and Kango were genuinely happy to hear the news of Amadou's recovery and were also touched by Ma Jia's medical ethics. Shi Zhu Zi arranged for a prestigious newspaper to interview President Kango about the promotion of heparin caps. The publication of the newspaper article would generate a huge response and even had the possibility of being seen by the president. Kango appreciated the efforts of the Chinese team in promoting heparin caps.
Jiang Da Qiao witnessed Shi Zhu Zi successfully arranging the interview for the newspaper to promote heparin caps. As promised, she cooked fish for Shi Zhu Zi in the kitchen of the Pingju Restaurant.
Shi Zhu Zi watched the busy Jiang Da Qiao and took out her phone to take a photo as a keepsake. At the same time, she reminded Jiang Da Qiao to use more oil when frying the fish. Jiang Da Qiao remembered Shi Zhu Zi's instructions and fried the fish perfectly. Shi Zhu Zi wanted to help with the sauce, but Jiang Da Qiao refused her assistance because the fish was promised to Shi Zhu Zi. President Kango invited Jiang Da Qiao and Wu Mei to his house for dinner that evening. Jiang Da Qiao speculated that Kango wanted to hold them accountable. Considering that Kango had spoken up for them in front of the journalists, Jiang Da Qiao decided to accept the invitation. Shi Zhu Zi asked Jiang Da Qiao to bring the dumplings made by the new apprentice as a gift, showing great thoughtfulness.
Jiang Da Qiao and Wu Mei went to meet Kango, thinking they would be reprimanded. However, Kango was very supportive of the promotion of heparin caps. He informed them that Yusufu from the Ministry of Health was very meticulous and wanted to meet with Wu Mei and Jiang Da Qiao to discuss the data. Wu Mei was well-prepared, and Kango decided to accompany them to the Ministry of Health. In the end, with Wu Mei's persistence, the issue of heparin caps was finally resolved. Not only would they be promoted and used throughout Senegal, but they would also be included in the medical list.
Ma Jia called Liu Xiaoxian, and she coldly reported her father-in-law's condition. When she learned that Ma Jia would soon have a leave of absence and wanted to come back to see her, she not only showed no excitement but also refused Ma Jia's request, telling him to focus on his work and that she didn't need his visit.
Ma Jia felt like a failure and was in a gloomy mood. Jiang Da Qiao noticed his unhappiness and deliberately brought two bottles of wine to the rooftop to chat with him. She learned that Ma Jia's father was ill, but as his son, Ma Jia couldn't be by his side to take care of him. Jiang Da Qiao advised Ma Jia to care more about his father, not to end up like her, regretting it only after losing him.
Liu Xiaoxian, who had devoted so much but was treated like this by Ma Jia, couldn't help but cry in grievance. Just then, Li Mo called Liu Xiaoxian, and they arranged to meet. Li Mo sensed that Liu Xiaoxian was not in a good mood and mentioned the book "Ten Years" that he had given to her years ago. There was a passage in the book that they both liked. Now, reading it again, Liu Xiaoxian had a different feeling. She decided to reconsider and take some time before making a decision.
