CHAPTER 489: CHAPTER 233 QI MENG’S ENDING

Jinsi Hospital.

This hospital finds itself in an awkward position.

Among large hospitals, its scale and area are somewhat insufficient, lacking competitiveness, and it was even once demoted to a medium-sized hospital by the media.

Luckily, its official ranking as a top-tier hospital remains unchanged, unaffected by media criticisms.

Although it cannot compete with other large hospitals, it dominates the medium-sized hospital category.

It’s stuck in limbo, not moving up or down.

Fortunately, the quality of doctors and medical equipment has always been up to mark.

Additionally, occasional promotions, group health check discounts, and other activities have secured its local customer base, preventing any scenarios of low patient turnout or reputation collapses.

Originally, such a hospital would have operated unremarkably.

However, unexpectedly, the highly reputed Twins Hospital, ranked among the top ten in the city, went under.

Dr. Mu had heard it from peers.

It was said that an inexplicable strange disease had spread in Twins Hospital, terrifying not only the patients but also the medical staff.

Some transferred while others fled.

Jinsi Hospital, being relatively close to Twins Hospital, naturally reaped the benefits.

When the Twins Hospital was shut down for rectification, these benefits maximized.

Some top talents were transferred to their side.

Consequently, patients from around Twins Hospital had no choice but to seek treatment here.

Some were worried that the bizarre infectious disease might spread to Jinsi Hospital, but given the days of peace, it was no longer a concern.

Dr. Mu rubbed his eyes.

Here in the operating room, he was assisting Dr. Mu, who had ’escaped’ from Twins Hospital.

This was originally his task, but since Dr. Mu arrived, he had stepped back to assist and learn from him.

Dr. Mu’s skills were indeed top-notch, extremely stable even at nearly sixty years old.

The emergency surgery was approaching its end.

But honestly, from his years of medical experience, the situation did not look optimistic.

Even a veteran like Dr. Mu seemed incapable of reversing the dire conditions.

It wasn’t a matter of skill or equipment limitations, but the severity of the injuries.

Even with immediate medical attention, the victim of the car accident was nearly beyond saving.

The doctors could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.

It was heard that the victim was some wealthy person.

If things got complicated, he truly worried whether Dr. Mu’s old body could handle the stress.

When the surgery ended and they had to inform the relatives, he had to protect Dr. Mu.

He coordinated with Dr. Mu, in a final effort.

Even the defibrillator was used, the beeping of equipment filling the busy operating room.

...

Outside the operating room.

Qi Xiaojin sat on the bench, her head bowed, tightly gripping her switched-off phone.

Her thoughts unable to find an anchor amid the chaos.

Her long hair brushed past her ears, cascading down like a waterfall.

She was in turmoil.

In her mind.

Sometimes she pictured the end-of-days scenes from her previous life.

Sometimes she thought about the memories with her older sister in childhood.

Suddenly, as if venting, she stood up, her teeth clenched, and furiously smashed her phone on the ground!

Bang!

The phone shattered into pieces on the floor.

Qi Xiaojin gasped for air, with ringing in her ears.

"Talk about... protecting everything..."

"This is, achieving nothing at all!!"

She clenched her fists.

Her sister’s so-called friends, she had already yelled away.

If not for retaining some rationality, these people would have ended up as corpses on the floor.

In her previous life, her sister died after the apocalypse.

Could it be that in this life, she would die in a car accident?

Too absurd... too absurd!!!

Why?!

I’ve already come back through rebirth! Why would I still let such things happen?!

Her nails slowly dug into her flesh.

Qi Xiaojin’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with a manic craze.

"Is it my fault... Did my recalling her to Jiangnan City trigger a butterfly effect that killed her?"

"If I had done nothing... she could have lived much longer... at least another year..."

"Did I make a mistake... Should I not have changed so many things..."

"Or is it... that everything is fated?"

"Does the world line ultimately converge, and my sister’s death is inevitable, unchangeable?"

"No... No!!"

"My fate is in my own hands! If all this is predetermined, then it’s up to me to break this sorrowful destiny!"

"I will... forge a new path, a brand new future for the living!"

Qi Xiaojin’s conviction became firmer.

Bang!

Just then, the large door at the end of the hallway was flung open.

Two or three black-suited bodyguards tried to stop the man from advancing, but Qi Xiaojin, turning to look, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes.

"Let him in."

The bodyguards hesitated, but eventually let go.

After the bodyguards closed the door and stood guard again, Fang Yu had already rushed to Qi Xiaojin.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, trying to explain why he had only just arrived.

But the words wouldn’t come out.

What to say?

That he was so engrossed in gaming he hadn’t checked his phone?
