“Him!” Will pointed at the nurse, visibly angry. “This nurse lady gave me medicine, dropped it on the floor, picked it up, and then gave it to me to take.”
“I told her that things on the floor are not hygienic and contaminated with bacteria, and cannot be eaten.”
“She didn’t understand what I was saying, and I didn’t understand what she was saying either. But I could tell she was very rude to me.”
“She tried to give me the medicine again, but I refused to take it. Then she threw the medicine on the ground and started speaking louder and louder. Some other people also came into the ward, and she went over to talk to them.”
At this point, Will paused and looked at Interpreter Zhou.
Zhou understood his meaning and translated his words.
After Zhou finished translating, Will continued, “I didn’t understand what they were saying, but those people believed her. Their expressions toward me were very angry, and what they said sounded like they were scolding me.”
“I had no choice, so I tried to explain with gestures, but they still didn’t understand. One man even came over and tried to hit me. Was it you who came into the ward and saved me?”
Will spoke rapidly, describing in detail the unfair treatment he had received from the nurse.
After he finished, Interpreter Zhou translated everything again.
Only then did Song Yueying fully understand why Will had come to find her as a witness.
“I didn’t! He’s lying!” the nurse shouted. “This foreigner is lying. He was the one being picky. When I gave him the medicine, he just didn’t catch it himself.”
The doctor in the white coat spoke up. “Nurse Zhang, you are a nurse. Your duty is to take care of patients. Even if the patient didn’t catch the medicine, you still shouldn’t lose your temper at him.”
“I didn’t! Director Luo, you have to believe me, I really didn’t! This foreigner is talking nonsense, he’s framing me!” Nurse Zhang pleaded tearfully, looking extremely wronged.
“Framing you?” Director Luo asked impatiently. “Why would he frame you?”
This Nurse Zhang had a bad reputation in the hospital, and it was not the first time he had seen her being harsh with patients. Relying on the fact that she was the director’s niece, she behaved arrogantly and tyrannically in the hospital.
Everyone gave the director face and simply turned a blind eye.
Nurse Zhang opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Interpreter Zhou.
“You’d better think carefully before you speak. The two public security comrades are here, and everything you say is being recorded.”
Hearing that her words would be recorded by the police, Nurse Zhang’s face turned panicked.
“He… he…” She stammered, unable to form a complete sentence. With the police present, she no longer dared to fabricate excuses at will.
Seeing her panicked state, everyone could tell she was the one lying.
The two police officers walked up to Song Yueying. One of them asked, “Comrade, hello. Could we speak somewhere else for a moment?”
Song Yueying nodded and took the lead, walking toward the window.
The two officers followed closely behind. The three of them stopped by the window. The officers first took out their identification cards and handed them to her. “Comrade, these are our work IDs.”
Song Yueying took them and looked at each one briefly before returning them.
After taking back their IDs, one officer asked, “Comrade, how should we address you?”
Interpreter Zhou also looked at Song Yueying, waiting for her name. Thinking of how Will had called her a brave and beautiful girl, he felt she was not only brave and beautiful, but also very capable.
“Song Yueying,” she introduced herself.
The officer nodded, then asked, “Comrade Song, could you describe everything you know about what happened?”
“Yes,” she nodded, and proceeded to explain everything she had heard and seen in detail.
The officers followed up with several detailed questions, all of which Song Yueying answered one by one.
During the process, Nurse Zhang tried several times to interrupt, but was stopped by the public security officers.
After Song Yueying finished speaking, Nurse Zhang knew that further excuses were useless. In an instant, she seemed to have had all her strength drained from her body and collapsed weakly to the ground.
It was over. She was finished.
She was now filled with regret, regret for relying on the fact that Will was a foreigner who could not understand her words, and thus repeatedly insulting and cursing him. Even more so, she regretted speaking impulsively and claiming that Will was a spy.
“We have understood the situation. Thank you for your cooperation.” The officers thanked Song Yueying.
While the police were questioning her, Will repeatedly asked Interpreter Zhou what they were saying.
Interpreter Zhou only told him that Song Yueying was helping him bear witness.
After Song Yueying finished speaking with the officers, Will immediately walked up to her and sincerely thanked her. “Brave and beautiful girl, thank you very much for being willing to testify for me. Thank you!”
“To express my gratitude, I sincerely invite you to have a meal at the state-run restaurant.”
“Mr. Will, I accept your thanks, but there is no need for a meal,” Song Yueying said. “Cooperating with the police to uncover the truth is the duty of every citizen.”
Rejected, Will was not discouraged. “Brave and beautiful girl, you are truly too kind. You are the kindest girl I have ever met. I would like to be your friend.”
“Mr. Will, there is an old saying in our country: ‘It is a pleasure to have friends come from afar.'”
“You were invited to our country to help solve problems, which means you and our country are fated to meet. The moment you set foot on our land, we are already friends.”
Will liked this very much. He laughed heartily, then suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Everything happened too suddenly, catching everyone off guard. Song Yueying was the first to react; she crouched down to check his condition.
Her slender fingers felt for his pulse, and her brows slowly furrowed.
The pulse was as weak as that of Old Man Wang earlier, almost identical. The problem was, Old Man Wang looked to be in his sixties or seventies, while Will didn’t even seem thirty years old.
A difference of thirty or forty years, yet their pulses were the same.
Forget it. Since Will was still useful to the country, she would save him once more.
Song Yueying took out a green pill, used her other hand to pry open Will’s mouth, and dropped the pill directly inside.
Interpreter Zhou, Doctor Zhao, and Director Luo rushed over just in time to see this.
“What did you give him?” Doctor Zhao asked while checking Will’s condition.
“A life-saving medicine,” Song Yueying replied.
Hearing her say it was life-saving medicine, Qi Yanjue’s brow twitched.
“You don’t even know what illness he has. How can you just give him medicine randomly? If it’s the wrong medication, it can kill him, don’t you understand that?” Director Luo said sharply.
Interpreter Zhou also looked at Song Yueying with obvious disapproval. “Comrade Song, Mr. Will is very important to our country. You shouldn’t have been so careless with giving him medicine.”
“You’re right, I was indeed careless,” Song Yueying nodded in agreement.
Then she turned and walked to the cabinet, took out an orange from the net bag, peeled it, and started eating.
It was her own fault for interfering unnecessarily, being questioned, being blamed. She had only herself to blame.
Chapter 8: A Rash Misjudgment
“Him!” Will pointed at the nurse, visibly angry. “This nurse lady gave me medicine, dropped it on the floor, picked it up, and then gave it to me to take.”
