Chapter 186: I Can’t Leave
“Go to Rong City?” Su Qingsang had heard about Rong City. It was the top-one city in North Province.
“Yes,” Huo Jinyao nodded and said, “As you know, I am from Rong City. I always wanted to take you back to Rong City, so you could see the place where I grew up. If the hospital here doesn’t want you, you can work in a hospital in Rong City.”
“You want me to be a doctor in Rong City?”
“Why not? You are a capable doctor. You can be a doctor anywhere you want. Why do you have to stay in Lin City?”
It was true. She could be a doctor in any city. Why did she have to stay in Lin City?

“Darling?” said Huo Jinyao.
“Listen to me,” Su Qingsang held his hands and said, “What I said just now was only the worst-case scenario. The hospital might not do that to me. Even if they want to do so, they won’t be able to, as long as I don’t agree with that.”
She did not push Li Rongrong. She had a clear conscience. “I don’t want to admit defeat just like this. If I leave, people will say that I did push that woman, even though I did not. Even if I will eventually leave Lin City to work somewhere else, I will clear my name first, instead of sneak away like I’m guilty. That is not what I want.”
Her gentle and pretty face was wearing a determined look that didn’t occur so often. Her eyes were as bright as the moon.
Huo Jinyao spent a short while looking at her, then abruptly reached out a hand to caress her cheek.
“Alright, I believe in you,” he said. “Do you need my help?”
“No,” Su Qingsang shook her head and added, “Don’t worry. I can handle it.”
After she said that, her phone started ringing. It was a call from Mr. Li, the vice-president of the hospital.
“Mr. Li?” Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao, who was preparing to open the car door. He stopped moving and looked at her.
“Suspension?” Su Qingsang paused briefly, then continued with, “Can I ask why?”
With a sullen face, she listened to Mr. Li’s words. He said that some reporters were still in the hospital now. Like last time, the hospital was jammed again.
This time, the ones who crowded the hospital weren’t patients, but reporters.
Ever since the news hit the headlines, those reporters had been having their eyes on the hospital. The hospital had talked to them, but still, the public wanted the hospital management to show their attitude.
“I didn’t push her,” Su Qingsang stayed calm. She was not angry, nor emotional. “You can watch the surveillance camera, or find evidence by any means. I really did not push her.”
“Doctor Su, we are all willing to believe you, but the public isn’t, and neither is the press. Now we need to put you in suspension until we can give the public a satisfying explanation. And you can take a few days off, get some rest at home.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Li,” Su Qingsang did not want to accept that arrangement, “I cannot get suspended. Getting me suspended is equal to admitting that I pushed that woman, isn’t it?”
“What do you want then? Do you know how many reporters are surrounding the hospital now? You don’t want to run into them. You should stay at home and lay low.”
“Director Li...”
“That’s it. Doctor Su, don’t be too stubborn. Just do what I said.”
Su Qingsang stared at her phone. Mr. Li had already ended the call.
“Darling?” Huo Jinyao was looking at her with concern.
“I’m fine,” Su Qingsang shook her head and said, “The hospital got me suspended. They told me to stay at home for a few days and take some rest.”
Huo Jinyao wore a grim look. “Suspension? That simple?” historical
“That’s just temporary,” Su Qingsang sighed and added, “The hospital will investigate this and find out the truth.”
