Chapter 250: Utter Disappointment
"Doctor Su, Doctor Su..." Suddenly, a figure rushed over and knelt down in front of Su Ge, "I really didn’t mean to do it, I didn’t mean it... It was my boyfriend who suddenly called me while I was administering the injection, he suddenly called me to break up... That’s why... I didn’t mean to do it, I didn’t intend to harm Tongtong, I really didn’t mean it, Doctor Su, you must believe me, you must believe me... Wuu wuu wuu..."
Nurse Xu knelt beside Su Ge, covering her face and weeping with sobs filled with self-blame and regret.
But Su Ge didn’t even glance at her, her expression numb as she watched the surgical trolley being pushed away, she clearly saw that desperate woman give her one last look, those tear-blurred eyes full of pain and utter disappointment.
The greater the hope she had before, the greater the disappointment now.
Su Ge suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her chest, her trembling hands gently lifted to cover her chest.
She didn’t cry, her eyes didn’t even redden, but her gaze was unfocused, just like a puppet whose soul had been drained, out of control in everything she did.
She really wanted to stand up, she wanted to take one last look at Tongtong, but she couldn’t muster any strength, her body completely devoid of energy.
She just sat there motionless, until the police arrived to take Nurse Xu away.
Nurse Xu did not try to justify her crime due to the minor error, she just kept repeating to Su Ge that it wasn’t intentional, pleading with Su Ge to believe her.
Su Ge of course believed it wasn’t intentional, Tongtong was such a lovely and well-behaved child, who would deliberately harm her?
But, a mistake was still a mistake.
The tragic outcome caused by a momentary error was ultimately unchangeable.
Nurse Xu must also understand this, her continual explanations to Su Ge were merely to give herself some peace of mind.
Because of her momentary mistake that cost Tongtong her life, Nurse Xu’s heart was no less troubled than anyone else’s.
"Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge, get up, it’s cold on the ground, what are you doing sitting on the ground?" Mu Zhenzhen hurried over and saw Su Ge still sitting on the ground; she quickly helped her up, "Xiao Ge, are you alright?"
The numb expression on Su Ge’s face scared Mu Zhenzhen a bit.
At times like this, she should cry if she wants to cry, why try to be strong?
She knew how important Tongtong was to Xiao Ge, and how deeply Tongtong’s death had impacted Xiao Ge, but Tongtong’s death was ultimately the nurse’s operational error, not Xiao Ge’s fault.
She could be sad and upset about the loss of that little life, but she shouldn’t blame herself like this.
Su Ge remained silent, helped by Mu Zhenzhen to sit on a chair.
Seeing that her words couldn’t reach her, Mu Zhenzhen felt quite helpless, "Xiao Ge, this is not your fault, you didn’t cause this, you’ve done well enough, you’ve tried your best."
Even though Mu Zhenzhen reminded her over and over that it wasn’t her fault, Su Ge still didn’t say a word.
Soon, the club members all arrived.
"Little Ge, patients number 3 and 9 were discharged today."
"Patient number 6 is arranged to be discharged tomorrow as well..."
Everyone looked at Su Ge’s bloodless face, reporting the good news one by one, Xu Yang hesitated for a moment and also said, "The psychiatric patient, after medication, has improved a lot and should be able to be discharged soon too."
