Episode 26 recap: Li Aifang passed away, and Huang Aguo was devastated.
Su Li looked at Huang Aguo's mother and felt that there was a predetermined fate. Su Yun continued, saying that Huang Aguo's mother had experienced two heart failures within twelve hours. They sighed that there was almost nothing left in that family, but Zheng Ren managed to save her, which was remarkable. Zheng Ren stated that if they hadn't been able to save her, he would have died.
Su Yun asked Zheng Ren to be serious and share his thoughts after learning about Huang Aguo's mother's condition. Zheng Ren found it strange that Li Aifang had undergone surgery three years ago. According to reason, at such an advanced age, any surgical complications would have been discovered within a month. However, the medical records stated that heart failure had only appeared in the past year. The progression of the illness seemed a bit off.
Su Yun suspected if it was due to side effects of other medications. Zheng Ren mentioned that he didn't find anything in the medical records. Su Yun asked if Zheng Ren had seen Li Aifang awake while at Huang Aguo's home. Zheng Ren confirmed that she was awake but feeling quite down, with no hope left to live.
The nearby doctors also felt sorry for the situation. Su Yun also noticed that something was amiss with the medical records. Zheng Ren discovered a possible connection to poisoning, possibly related to metallic substances. To confirm, they needed to perform an analysis and test the metal content. Huang Aguo recalled that besides the hip joint surgery, Li Aifang hadn't undergone any other surgeries involving metal implants.
Xie Yi Ren informed Huang Aguo that Li Aifang was now stable. Huang Aguo felt relieved and expressed that he couldn't be without his mother. He asked Xie Yi Ren to help persuade Zheng Ren and was emotionally overwhelmed. Xie Yi Ren didn't expect that Huang Aguo would be so troublesome, causing Chen Miao to jump off the building. Yet now, Huang Aguo was deeply concerned about his mother.
Chang Yue also believed that humans were complex creatures. Lin Yuan suggested considering artificial joints. Xie Yi Ren mentioned that their father had collaborations in that field. Zheng Ren asked if Xie Yi Ren's father was involved in medical equipment. Everyone chuckled at Zheng Ren's remark.
Su Yun told Zheng Ren that it was enough to tease Xie Yi Ren casually and not to be too serious. Peng Jia called Su Yun, wanting them to consider live streaming.
Su Yun thinks highly of live streaming, but he doesn't want Peng Jia to pursue the idea of featuring Zheng Ren's conjoined twins. Su Yun tells Zheng Ren that Li Aifang has lead poisoning. Zheng Ren wants to consult with other surgeons, but Su Yun suggests that they prioritize the conjoined twins' surgery. Xie Yi Ren goes to inform Huang Aguo about Li Aifang's condition. When Huang Aguo hears that his mother could pass away during the surgery, he breaks down and expresses his desire to see her.
Huang Aguo looks at his mother with great reluctance. Li Aifang tells Huang Aguo that she is tired, and he can't hold back his tears. Huang Aguo approaches Zheng Ren and asks if the magnetic disc caused the situation. After hearing the answer, he wants his mother to be at ease. Huang Aguo feels deeply moved. When he volunteered, he saw patients without anyone to care for them, and he felt indignant. Huang Aguo knows that he has inflicted harm on others, and he acknowledges his deep crimes. Nevertheless, he still hopes that his mother will recover.
Huang Aguo can't understand why fate is being so cruel to them. Zheng Ren painfully mentions that three years ago, Huang Aguo didn't trust the doctors. Huang Aguo believes that he only trusts Zheng Ren now. Zheng Ren expresses his support for Huang Aguo's decision. Helpless, Huang Aguo kneels down and weeps. Zheng Ren pulls him up and tells him that he has done his best. Huang Aguo is deeply grateful for Zheng Ren's words.
Li Aifang passes away, and Huang Aguo is devastated. He deeply regrets not giving his mother a comfortable life. He knocks his head three times, and it takes the police to restrain him before he finally lets go. He cries bitterly, and Zheng Ren feels heartbroken as well. Xie Yi Ren hears about the old lady's passing and worries about Huang Aguo's state. Zheng Ren informs his father that Huang Aguo has been granted a reprieve and now realizes how difficult it is to be a good doctor.
Qin Liren personally approaches Su Li to demand Zheng Ren's dismissal and expresses dissatisfaction with Su Li's actions. Su Li firmly supports Zheng Ren's retention. Zheng Ren feels that the trust placed in them by the conjoined twins' family requires a hundred percent effort, and this time, they must succeed.
Su Yun tells Su Li to be prepared, and Su Li assures her that she has been ready all along, always remembering their agreement.
