When Yao Anqi heard about this arrangement, she immediately removed her surgical gloves and went to the hospital chief’s office, “Chief, I’ve decided. I have a child now, so I can’t work on the battlefield.”
“Anqi…you’re actually a highly skilled doctor. I can’t bear to see you leave, but…”
“Chief, you don’t need to put yourself in a difficult position,” Yao Anqi said as she pulled out her resignation letter and bowed thankfully. Before the Chief could respond, Yao Anqi turned around and left the office.
She had actually come across many opportunities in the past to leave the military hospital, but because of Xingzhe, she never followed her dream. Now that everything was falling into place, she naturally held onto the chance to advance in her career.
Of course, Yao Anqi did not tell Mo Zixi about this. After spending three days at home with Xingzhe, she finally picked up her resume on the fourth day and attended an interview at Beijing Hospital.
As she had been an ER doctor for many years and she had a lot of experience in the operating theater, Beijing Hospital welcomed her with open arms and prepared a lot of resources for her.
This was something she had never experienced at the military hospital.
“Miss Yao, I don’t doubt your abilities. I simply have one question that I would like you to answer.”
“Please go ahead,” Yao Anqi said politely.
“Why did you leave the military hospital?”
“I was kicked out because I offended someone that I shouldn’t have,” Yao Anqi replied honestly.
“OK, we at Beijing Hospital welcome you,” the Chief said as he stood up and shook Yao Anqi’s hand.
As she was highly capable, Yao Anqi was given the position of a senior doctor. Beijing Hospital was a big hospital, so it was naturally more busy than what she was used to, but Yao Anqi felt it was an enriching experience.
After 7 days, Mo Zixi finally got to see his wife and child again. But, during dinner, the first thing that Yao Anqi said was, “I left the military hospital.”
“When did that happen?” Mo Zixi asked.
“It’s been almost half a month,” Yao Anqi replied. “I’m currently a senior ER doctor at Beijing Hospital.”
Mo Zixi did not respond, but Yao Anqi could feel that there was an obvious awkwardness in the atmosphere.
It wasn’t until the two lay in bed later that night that Mo Zixi finally asked, “Why didn’t you notify me as soon as something happened?”
“I…”
“You didn’t think it was necessary?” Mo Zixi laughed in self ridicule. “Anqi, I admit that we didn’t start off as well as other couples, but I’ve said it before, I’m willing to grow closer to you. While I was training at the base, I thought about coming home to see you and Xingzhe every single day. I wanted so badly to be by your side.”
“But…you changed hospitals without telling me. It’s as though I’m just an outsider to you.”
At that moment, Yao Anqi couldn’t say a word.
No matter how she tried to explain her actions, she couldn’t deny the fact that she didn’t contact Mo Zixi first thing.
That night, the couple did not say another word to each other. In fact, Yao Anqi had no idea when Mo Zixi left the next morning.
Had she treated Mo Zixi too casually?
Yao Anqi began to question herself.
It seemed he was truly angered. So, after Mo Zixi left this time, he did not return for another 2 weeks. But, Yao Anqi remained busy during this time and did not take the initiative to give Mo Zixi a phone call. Perhaps, she was really too cold-hearted.
That day, she was finishing off a surgery and stitching up one of her patients when her patient asked, “Doctor, you’re still so young, you mustn’t be married yet, right?”
