Chapter 2290: 2213 Great Disaster Looms, Each Flies Away (Alliance Leader - Stop the Beating - Extra Chapter 5)

"Er..." Zhao Wenhua didn't know how to answer, his thoughts were a little confused.

"I've done so much for you, and now I'm neither human nor ghost, yet you still want to go see patients?!" Section Chief Mao shouted sharply.

The voice wasn't loud, but the words were like countless steel needles, piercing Zhao Wenhua……and her lover's hearts.

Crazy, Mao Mao really went crazy, Zhao Wenhua felt a bit panicked.

Others don't know Section Chief Mao's character, but Zhao Wenhua knows it all too well. She is a refined egoist, loving only herself, and any tiny benefit gets magnified countless times.

Zhao Wenhua himself had a slight persecution complex, and hearing Section Chief Mao say that, a thought rose in his mind——Could she be trying to extort me?

Impossible, they're both respectable people; even if they wanted to extort something, they wouldn't say such a thing in front of her lover. After all she's done for herself? How could she have the nerve to say that!

So,

The truth is only one!

Mao Mao went crazy.

Section Chief Mao's lover looked embarrassed at the scene before him, silent and speechless. Seeing his wife say such things to another man right in front of him, he found it unacceptable.

"Section Chief Mao, are you sick? Has your mental state been off lately?" Zhao Wenhua endured a few seconds before blurting out.

"I'm not sick! Even if I am, it's your fault!" Section Chief Mao screamed, her dryness syndrome seemed to flare up again, her mouth sounding like it contained pebbles, making her speech sound absurd and ridiculous.

But upon carefully pondering that remark, Zhao Wenhua felt a chill.

He knew Section Chief Mao too well; when she was young, she was like this. Any benefit was hers alone, and whenever things went wrong, she inevitably blamed those around her.

It had been over twenty years since he'd heard such words, and in an instant Zhao Wenhua felt an absurdly familiar, warm feeling well up from his heart.

But only a moment later, Zhao Wenhua "woke up".

She wants to drag me down to die with her!

"Section Chief Mao, look at what you're saying—I'm just a clinical worker, how could I harm you?" Zhao Wenhua steadied himself and faced her seriously.

Not a single word can be wrong, absolutely not! Zhao Wenhua thought to himself.

"Back then it was you who told me to find Zheng……"

Sure enough, Zhao Wenhua's hormone levels surged instantly; he reacted extremely quickly and immediately took over Section Chief Mao's words.

"For the hospital's honor, to be able to win the Nobel Prize, I've given some—it's nothing. Besides, although Zheng Lao Ban is young, he's very magnanimous, and recently he even taught me surgery." Zhao Wenhua said firmly.

"My relationship with Zheng Lao Ban is good; I'm preparing to submit an application to the hospital to temporarily merge my bed position into Zheng Lao Ban's medical team."

Zhao Wenhua had considered this matter, but hadn't made up his mind, always hesitating.

He had weighed the pros and cons countless times in his mind.

The benefit is that I can learn surgery; although Zheng Lao Ban only let me observe one operation, after that Zhao Wenhua felt his skill skyrocket.

The downside is also obvious—at the very least, his earnings have dropped a lot over the past six months.

Originally Zhao Wenhua was still hesitating, but after hearing Section Chief Mao's reproach, he made a swift decision and instantly chose.

This matter can't be delayed; he must immediately go report to Director Kong.

If anything bad really happens later, this side can also explain it. Zhao Wenhua felt wronged—what the hell is all this?! Just let you cause trouble for Zheng Lao Ban, how did getting sick become my fault? This is clearly just extortion!

Moreover, letting you cause trouble doesn't mean letting you order your subordinates to go pick fights with patients outside.

Director Lin and Zheng Lao Ban have a good relationship; the formerly stagnant Science and Education Department has become lively. Mao Mao is lagging behind and wants to drag me down as a scapegoat, Zhao Wenhua felt troubled.

Section Chief Mao stared for a moment, then roared: "Zhao Wenhua, how can you be so shameless!"

Zhao Wenhua's face looked extremely grim, he sighed deeply, and turned to leave.

Going back, he should quickly report his work to Director Kong. He figured he'd defected over, and Zheng Lao Ban wouldn't mind his previous "minor" nitpicking.

Although Professor Rudolf Wagner kept calling me a glutton and land‑grabber… these people bear grudges! I said "eat more, take more" just once, and now they've caught me by the braid.

Zhao Wenhua feigned anger and left; the air in the ward froze.

Section Chief Mao's gaze was hollow as she looked at her lover, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.

Her lover, long accustomed to Section Chief Mao's antics, turned and walked to the chair by the window and sat down.

He knew Mao Mao was sure to cause a scene for several hours this time.

Serving this ticking time bomb every day, Section Chief Mao's lover was already mentally and physically exhausted.

If she wants to cause a scene, let her; if she wants to act up, let her—don't go looking for a scolding. Zhao Wenhua, Professor Zhao can just walk away, but I can't.

Although he wished to divorce immediately, not wanting to wait another minute or second, Section Chief Mao's lover could imagine that after a divorce, Mao Mao would surely meet someone and pour out her grievances about his heartlessness and lack of feeling.

He could even imagine Mao Mao going to his workplace and telling everyone all his affairs.

By then, the fact that he had a birthmark on his thigh,

the fact that his enlarged prostate caused urinary difficulty,

and many other things that nobody else knows, only his most intimate wife knows,

would all be broadcast to the world.

If that happened, would he still be fit to be called a person!

Endure it—having such a troublesome woman, he… Section Chief Mao's lover has regretted it countless times in his heart.

His mood was gloomy; he sat in the chair, eyes looking out the window.

The sky was overcast and howling, like his mood.

But as time passed, Section Chief Mao's lover felt the silence in the room frightening.

Without Mao Mao's scolding, how could he not be used to it? He gave a self‑conscious chuckle and turned to look at Section Chief Mao.

Section Chief Mao sat dazedly on the hospital bed, her complexion awful, the corners of her eyes and mouth constantly twitching.

It seemed she wanted to cry, but couldn't; her tears had flowed into another dimension, and even the gesture of expressing sorrow was gone.

"Darling……" Section Chief Mao suddenly said in a muffled voice.

Section Chief Mao's lover felt a chill run down his spine.

Now he had grown accustomed to Section Chief Mao's fierce appearance; such a tender address—how many years had it been since he last heard it?

Don't pull any tricks!

"I'm sorry..." Section Chief Mao murmured, his voice full of regret and self-reproach.

Well... This is simply scarier than the usual beating and scolding. At this moment, Section Chief Mao's lover finally knew what was truly terrifying!

In the next hour, Section Chief Mao's lover spent it in endless repentance.

As it turns out...

As it turns out...

And there are so many things I'm sorry for myself!

A mess.

Soon, the Inpatient Chief discovered Section Chief Mao's abnormality, followed by a flurry of activity; the diagnosis was clear—severe depressive disorder.
