[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 14]

Who are you to Mr Jiang Wa Long?

My husband is dead.

Doctor.

I've brought my identification card here.

Pong Kang.

Citizen of the federal state of Maribor?

Yes, I was born in Zal Island.

He wasn't a pirate,

yet he accused him of being one.

He's sick in the head.

Sir,

you're showing symptoms of a stroke.

It's dangerous for you to return home

without telling anyone.

Come, you should have a seat first.

I rarely visit the hospital.

I'm scared.

That day, I didn't know what they were going to do with me.

That's why I ran back home.

Now, I feel much better.

Doctors from the mainland of China are amazing.

Have a seat.

That's why I came back.

Sure, you can stay here for a while.

I'll do the registration for you.

Later, I'll ask them

to do a checkup for you again.

Nurse Wang!

Okay.

Nurse Wang!

I'm here. What's the matter?

Nurse Wang!

We're in trouble!

Follow me!

Do the registration for him!

Yue Mei!

Yue Mei!

Yue Mei, what's wrong?

Yue Mei, listen to me.

Yue Mei!

Yue Mei, calm down!

Let me go!

Dr Ge, help us out!

Dr Ge!

What's going on?

How dare you come?

You can't just hit him!

Sit down.

Sit down.

You liar!

You liar!

Wang Yue Mei!

Don't do this!

This is bad for your health, you know?

He was the one who lied to me!

He lied to me!

He lied to me!

When did I lie to you?

Didn't you say my husband was just asleep?

He was dead!

I didn't.

I'm sorry.

I said you were the one who said that.

Who told you to tell her that her husband was asleep?

I know you didn't tell me to do it.

But you said I should tell her white lies

to prevent any accidents from happening.

That's why I told her white lies.

If it weren't for this kind mister here,

I wouldn't even know my husband is dead!

If I knew earlier,

I could've left the world together with him!

You liar!

Yue Mei.

Everything is too late now.

Yue Mei.

Listen to me, okay?

Listen to me.

Nurse Wang did lie to you,

but he did it for your sake, am I right?

He was afraid that you might be heartbroken

and it'll affect your health.

He did everything for your sake.

You must try to understand his intention.

Besides, it's wrong for you to hit someone.

Yeah.

Don't be like this.

You can't just repay

kindness with vice.

Xin Lu, keep quiet.

How is he a kind man?

He can just sell his conscience away for all I care!

Can you guys be reasonable?

He's a liar.

What's the point of me living alone?

Enough!

Wait.

Can't you be more independent?

Why do you need to rely on someone else to survive?

Help her up.

The women on our island

need men to survive.

Okay.

I told you before.

Don't try to enforce your belief

on our little island.

Sometimes, death is better than

living in pain.

Dr Ge,

I'm against your unprofessional attitude.

Listen,

the pirate you accused of yesterday

is actually a local with dysarthria literalis.

He brought his identification card here

and he's willing to accept treatment.

You only know

how to give up on them.

You don't have the right to be a doctor.

Yeah!

It's precisely because of vile

and evil doctors like you

that

the culture and sanitary conditions here

will never be improved.

You will always be a fool

and stay outdated.

You can leave if you don't like it here!

I told you before.

A rich kid like you

is only here for the fame!

Do you even know the living conditions here?

Stop.

What did you say?

Did you insult me?

Didn't you say we were outdated?

Stop arguing!

The patients are looking! How could you guys do this?

Xiao Cong, it's all my fault.

Go away.

Xiao Cong, enough.

You should act more professionally.

Why is it my fault again?

And you, Dr Ge,

I hope you know that

we abandoned our family

and travelled a long way in order to come here.

We're really sad when

we hear things like that.

I just want to ask you something.

Do you still want us

to treat the patients here?

Tell me.

Do you want us to do it or not?

Xiao Cong, enough.

Sis Hong, don't be angry.

Tell me what happened.

You insulted the local doctors.

And you argued in front of our patients.

Where's your discipline?

Did you forget about it?

It was obviously Dr Ge's fault.

Wang Yue Mei just regained consciousness after her surgery.

I was just trying to buy time.

I didn't want to tell her about her husband's death yet.

Am I wrong?

But that Dr Ge

told her that her husband was dead without thinking twice.

That's why Wang Yue Mei is trying to kill herself.

I was trying to be kind.

Why is it my fault now?

You should criticize Wang Yue Mei for being stupid

and Dr Ge for being cold and ruthless.

You shouldn't criticize me.

I'm here to criticize you.

But why?

Do you think I have the right to criticize them?

Do you think they're from our team?

Sis Yue,

what about your gossip?

What I focus on is the truth.

What did we say before we went for the training?

Providing relief to a foreign country and working in the hospital,

what's the difference between them?

It's the capability to withstand pressure

in a complicated environment.

We need to be flexible.

Tell me,

is the gossip that important?

The important thing is

you said Dr Ge has a mental trauma.

You said the locals

are fools.

You said that right in front of them while you're in their territory.

Do you think it was right for you to do so?

Yes!

Everyone has a temper.

I was slapped by someone,

and I was insulted by Dr Ge as well.

I'm here

to realize my noble dream.

I'm not here to be humiliated.

Calm down.

Sit down and talk.

Sit down.

Anyway, I think

the people here are fools.

They're ignorant.

Look at that Wang Yue Mei.

She insists on dying together with her husband.

Does she even need to do that? Does she know what era we're in?

Yes.

I know this place is undeveloped.

But if this place is as developed as our country,

we wouldn't need to be here in the first place.

I know it's been tough for you.

But, before we came here,

we should be

mentally prepared for these kinds of situations.

You should know that

as a part of the disaster relief team,

you need to withstand a certain amount of pressure.

You can't expect a foreign environment to give you no pressure at all.

If that's what you think, you have no right

to achieve your noble dream.

You think it'll be fine after you say it out?

You need to know that

we need to take this step by step.

Think about Dr Xie.

Dr Zhou.

Nurse Wang.

I'm sorry.

It was all my fault.

Of course it's your fault.

Why didn't you go home?

Dr Zhou, please stop scolding Nurse Wang.

I'm here to say this.

I think Wang Yue Mei

doesn't want to commit suicide.

How did you know?

Because someone who wants to commit suicide

won't tell you that much.

One of my previous employer

committed suicide.

Her husband was getting himself a second wife.

She couldn't accept it,

and she committed suicide.

She hanged herself in the middle of the night.

Her body was discovered in the morning.

When they took down her body,

it was cold to the touch.

But this Wang Yue Mei,

she's been causing a ruckus and saying that she wants to die.

Just now,

she was dumbfounded when she saw Dr Ge and Nurse Wang

arguing.

Why would a person like this

try to commit suicide?

I just think that

her husband's death was too sudden for her.

That's why she's throwing a tantrum.

Liu Xin Lu, you're something.

I didn't expect you to be quite smart as well.

It was all my fault.

Seeing as the hospital lacks manpower,

I've told Miss Ansha that

I'm willing to help out the hospital as a volunteer for a few days.

I will look after Wang Yue Mei.

I will try to convince her.

Dr Zhou, please let me stay.

I can't make the call.

But,

I will try to get permission from our director.

This is great!

Xin Lu,

I want to ask you a question.

Didn't you say that

you saw the old lady's corpse

on the floor?

Were you afraid?

You have potential.

Bai sent us things again.

Orange soda.

Thank you.

Try it.

Thanks.

The sunset view over here is beautiful.

I thought sunset views are always beautiful?

It's different on Zal Island.

Look at the blue and pure sky.

The sunset

forms a golden layer on the surface of the sea.

It's

magnificent

and romantic.

Actually, after being here for so long,

I've slowly gotten used to the air

and the life here.

Breathe in.

Release.

Breathe in.

Release.

Lian Yu,

I realized that you're a romantic person.

You're handsome and you have a great job.

But, where's your girlfriend?

Sis Hong, you may not know this.

Dr Liao is very serious.

He rejects everyone.

-You're the same. -No one can stand that.

Who said so?

Since you guys know each other so well,

you guys should form a couple.

You guys make a perfect match.

Yeah.

Liao Yu, you hear her?

Sis Hong said it already.

When will you take me in?

I did like you when we were in high school.

You didn't know that, right?

Explain yourself.

Back then, she was my neighbour.

I always had dinner at her house.

She came to my house for dinner as well.

I came into contact with her the most.

Back then, I thought you were the only girl

I would like.

Look, the show is starting.

Liao Yu, you're something. Tell me,

when did you have a change of heart?

I!

It's that incident.

You were hospitalized for one month, right?

Is that why you abandoned me?

No.

Let me finish my words.

She was hospitalized for one month

and she skipped school for one month.

But after she returned from the hospital, she caught up immediately.

She even got fifth place in the school.

She's amazing, isn't she?

And she always told me that

she can get into a medical college

and become a gynecologist.

Back then, I was thinking,

she was too good for me,

I'm sure I won't be able to hold her down.

That's why I gave up.

Look at you two.

You're a top student and he's very bright.

You guys are a perfect match.

Sis Hong, what are you talking about?

Don't you understand?

He doesn't like girls who are too exceptional.

He likes girls who aren't exceptional.

What kind of standards is that?

No.

We're just too familiar with each other.

Look at you two.

There's nothing now.

Wu and I even made a bet

and said that you two will become a couple.

You can't say that for sure.

That doesn't mean

I have no chance at all.

When we're old and single

and when no one is there for us,

let's depend on each other, okay?

Enough, don't try to fool me.

Since you guys can't form a couple,

I have a question for you.

So, you and Daniel,

is there anything between you two?

No.

Look at you.

You asked me about the braised beef, you remember?

After that, when I think about it,

your face was red

when you spoke in front of Daniel.

Zhou Yue,

although Dr Huo is away

and you're our deputy leader,

as an elder sister, I need to remind you something.

Daniel

is exceptional in his work.

But,

he's a playboy.

It'll be very dangerous if a woman

likes a playboy.

Understood?

I understand.

Sis Hong, it isn't what you think.

The braised beef,

it was just a coincidence.

Continue with your story.

Sis Hong, you may not know,

but there's something between Yu Qian and Daniel.

She's in a relationship where she can wash his clothes for him.

What do you mean by that?

Look at you, I'm sure you know nothing except for studying.

Have I ever washed your clothes

for you even when we're so close to each other?

That's why.

I saw Qiao Yu Qian washing

Daniel's clothes for him.

It's obvious that they have a great relationship.

You should be more careful then.

You should stay away from them.

Qiao Yu Qian has a complicated background.

You mustn't involve yourself with the local affairs.

Yes, Sis Hong. You're right.

I won't involve myself with the local affairs.

But I need to show concern for my colleague.

I think

there's something wrong with Wang Xiao Cong lately.

What's the matter?

I had a chat with him just now.

I think he...

Something feels wrong.

I'll take a look.

What's wrong with him?

Sis Hong,

don't use us as a tool

for your bet again.

Yeah.

Alright.

Pinky promise.

Pinky promise.

You two are best friends.

Yes.

Hold this for me.

Finish it. Don't waste it.

You!

I'll take a look at Wang Xiao Cong.

What's wrong with Xiao Cong?

Xiao Cong

is easily enraged lately.

He's been acting strange.

He almost fought with Dr Ge.

I...

I suspect these are symptoms

of depression.

Is it that serious?

What are you looking at?

Here.

Thanks.

It's nothing much.

This is the latest medical technology, the da Vinci Surgical System.

I'm learning about new technology since I'm free now.

You're looking at da Vinci's robot?

I got the license for that before.

But I don't think I can use it here.

Why?

Think about it.

It's impossible for the state government

to buy such an expensive robot.

And the patients here can't possibly say that

they want to fork out their own money

to undergo the surgery,

am I right?

You have a point.

And,

I don't like to use that during my surgeries.

Why?

Think about it.

The two most important things

to us surgeons

are our brain and hands.

With these two things,

you can complete a surgery.

Of course, when you use da Vinci's robot,

you need to use your brain and hands as well.

But our hands possess the sense of touch.

We can use our sense of touch

to feel the details of a patient's body.

If you use that robot, you won't be able to feel that.

You won't feel the sense of thrill.

You're really sick in the head.

I do think the robot

is very practical.

Because it can complete

surgeries that the human hands won't be able to complete.

I saw its usage during a gynecologic surgery.

It can remove the tumour within a uterus easily.

The operation wound is small, thus promoting faster recovery.

There's a patient

who had two tumours at least 10 cm long within her body.

Not only did she keep her uterus and ovaries,

she didn't feel any pain from the surgery at all.

The cut was barely 1 cm long.

She could walk after one day.

So, to me,

as long as your technique is good enough,

when you and the machine are one,

it will far surpass

what we can do with just our hands.

He's the one sick in the head.

I agree with what Dr Liao had said.

Humans have their own limitations.

That's why we invented technology.

Better equipments can help

doctors to perform surgeries better, am I right?

Seems like Dr Qiao knows her stuff.

Since you two have such a good chemistry,

Dr Qiao, you should follow

Dr Liao in the future.

That's decided then.

Forget it.

I think you should let her follow you.

A gentleman does not steal from others.

Steal from others? What do you mean?

You mean her?

No thanks. You can take her.

Just take her.

Dr Zhou told me that

you guys have a special relationship.

I...

What did she say?

Yeah, Dr Liao.

Please don't misunderstand us.

I just cracked a joke with Dr Zhou

because she's too serious.

I did that for Daniel's sake.

I was just trying to test

if she has feelings for him.

It was just a joke.

Why are you guys so serious?

I did it for you.

You messed up.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm looking for Dr Zhou. Is she around?

Yes. She's inside.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

He's so handsome.

Let's go.

Wear your clothes properly.

Look at you.

You don't even button up your shirt.

Hi.

Is Dr Zhou around?

Do you need anything from her?

Nothing. I just want to ask her out for a date.

Director Li.

The traffic police?

Is Dr Zhou around?

Did you make an appointment with her?

No.

Sorry.

She's busy usually.

And,

are you here to visit the O&G Department?

O&G Department?

He's a funny guy.

I'm here to ask her out.

Dating, you know?

Please pass this to her.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

He's asking her out for a date.

Dating.

Seems like someone is jealous

Is he jealous of that cop?

Yeah. He's pretty handsome.

Why don't you go on a date with him?

You're done for. He's more handsome than you.

Look at how direct he is.

He came here straight away.

Not only is he handsome, he gives me a sense of security as well.

I guess your time is up.

Why don't you just give up and be my boyfriend?

I think your time is up.

Your Liao is leaving with someone else.

How is that possible?

Keep a piece for me!

Whose cake is this?

Yours.

Me?

Your suitor gave this

to you.

What suitor?

That officer.

The one who gave you his name card.

Speaking of the name card,

you should return it to me.

Why?

He gave me a cake.

I need to call him and thank him.

Name card.

You want him to ask you out for a date as well?

It's none of your business.

Don't be angry.

So...

Yu Qian.

You're angry at Yu Qian?

She did that on purpose, you know?

It's...

It's not what you think.

And how would I know

she was washing my clothes without permission?

What do you mean by that?

I just want to tell you that

I'll wash my clothes from now on.

But you mustn't let John take you out for a date.

Please?

Wait.

There are plenty of apples around.

Why are you guys fighting for it?

There's a box of them in the kitchen.

At most I'll get another one for you.

You guys

can share the apple as well.

You don't need to fight for it.

Brother Cong,

we...

We have a serious matter to discuss.

So, please...

Hey.

I really have something important to discuss with you.

Right now?

Yeah, it's serious.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Wait.

You can tell me now.

No.

Just now, I...

Listen up.

Just now,

you wanted my apple, right?

You can take it.

I've taken a bite.

I'll take another one.

I just want to ask you

if you agree with what Yu Qian had said.

Do we just forget about the incense cone?

So,

that's what you're going to say?

You see, Yu Qian and the local doctors

don't know we've discovered

the polio epidemic.

Dr Huo is away as well.

That's why I want to know your opinion.

My opinion?

My opinion...

Actually, I think the incense cone

can help to prove that

our hospital isn't haunted.

Think about it.

He used that to knock Xiao Liu unconscious

so that he can spread rumours about us.

Following this direction, we can see that the accusations

of Dr Xie and Dr Huo aren't baseless.

You're right.

Xiao Liu was in contact with the natives.

That means

the polio virus may have mutated

inside the natives' bodies.

And the children

of Linshui Village were infected because of that.

Actually, the incense cone is providing us

with many information.

For example,

we can find the

person who spreaded the rumour by using it.

We can use it to find out why

the epidemic couldn't be contained

even after the vaccines were injected.

That way, we can prove Dr Xie's innocence.

Correct.

So,

you agree that we should continue our investigation?

Does this count as a local affair?

If we continue this investigation,

I'm sure it'll implicate many people.

Our medical team isn't supposed to

involve ourselves with the local affairs.

Yes, this counts as a local affair.

But it has affected

the progress of our hospital.

If we don't solve this,

we won't be able to solve our problem.

But, if something happens, the hospital will be implicated.

So, we just forget about it?

What are you smiling at?

I...

I just thought of Dr Xie's painful expression

when he was trying his best to cheer for you guys.

And Xiu's surgery.

He must be extremely strong

to keep such a calm demeanour under such pain.

This...

I know obeying the rules

is important to you guys.

But, if you're giving up the chance to save lives

all because of a stupid rule,

I think you're betraying your occupation as a doctor.

But,

don't you think it is our responsibility to make a choice

between the two?

It's because you guys don't want to be responsible.

That's why you all have given up

on your responsibilities to save lives.

As a doctor,

saving lives is your responsibility.

You guys can't just push it away.

I won't agree with it

if you guys are insisting on this.

I'm sure Dr Xie wouldn't agree with it if he were still alive.

Wait.

I'm willing to take the risk.

Actually, I've asked Dr Xie about this before.

I asked him how to form conviction.

He told me this.

Just persevere.

I know I think a lot.

I know I overthink stuff.

I'm not as good as you

or Dr Xie.

But there's this one thing.

I've never forgotten the meaning

of being a good doctor.

So?

Actually, when I first came here,

I couldn't get used to the life here.

I thought I hit a plateau.

I don't even know

how to manage my emotions.

I...

I was in despair.

It's true.

I almost lost my conviction

back then.

But, Dr Xie told me

to persevere.

As long as I persevere,

my conviction will return to me.

So, you're right.

I need to persevere.

I mustn't let down Dr Xie.

I won't let down myself either.

So...

So,

I need to call Dr Huo right away.

Okay, Dr Huo.

I will act accordingly.

That's decided then. Goodbye.

I've decided.

I will follow you for the investigation.

Your're smiling in a weird way.

Weird?

How is it weird?

I know.

I'm a coward.

I need to ask Dr Huo for everything.

I didn't say that.

I just feel happy

now that you're fighting

by my side.

Can't you see?

Not at all.

So, what did Dr Huo say?

Dr Huo said

we must find out why the vaccines are ineffective.

Because even if we manage to convince the villagers

to take their vaccines,

it'll be meaningless

if they're ineffective,

just like last year's incident.

So,

this is the responsibility of Friendship Hospital.

We aren't being busybodies.

You're right.

Seems like we have reached a consensus.

I guess so.

Dr Huo told us to

keep the investigation a secret

if we want to continue our investigation.

We must learn from Dr Xie's lesson.

And we should try our best not to affect anyone.

I agree.

Why is your back facing towards me?

I!

This is serious, you know?

This is the time for you to make the call.

Director Li,

what exactly do you want me to do?

Actually, regarding this matter,

I had my eyes on three suspects.

Tell me.

The first suspect is Thomas.

Qiao Xiang Wan?

He's your best friend, you know?

Yeah.

But, he said the incense cone

was made by his research centre.

Naturally,

he became the first suspect.

But after that, we realized that

there are two different kinds of incense cone.

So, we can get him out of the equation.

The second suspect

is the witch.

The witch?

But even if we ask her,

she won't tell us the truth.

You're right.

So, finding her is useless.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't suspect her.

The third suspect

is Uncle Wen.

Uncle Wen?

Why are you suspecting him?

Because of my intuition.

A man's intuition is accurate.

Only a woman's intuition is accurate.

Besides,

the report that Uncle Wen had shown us

are perfectly fine.

He didn't make the incense cone as well.

Why are you suspecting him?

Let me explain.

Look at his relationship with Dr Xie.

Dr Xie suffered a tragic death.

But he isn't affected at all.

Wait,

you were around when we were trying to save Dr Xie.

Uncle Wen did his best to save him.

But, he didn't attend Xie Bei Bei's birthday party.

Isn't that strange?

Is it because Uncle Wen has known

Dr Xie for two years?

That's why he doesn't want to be

reminded of his death?

Okay, next.

Dr Xie passed the blood samples of the children in Linshui Village

to Uncle Wen.

Uncle Wen said he can't do the test on Zal Island.

He said he had to send it to the main island.

But the report

only indicated the presence of a parasite.

Uncle Wen said

he can't do the test for Dr Xie on Zal Island.

I understand now.

You're saying that

Uncle Wen knew that Dr Xie was trying to test

if it was polio.

That's why he said he can't do it on purpose?

Think about it.

Now, Uncle Wen

is the only local doctor

who knows about the polio epidemic.

Why would he fail to figure out that

Dr Xie was harmed by the people

responsible for this epidemic?

But he didn't analyze it

and tell us what has happened at all.

You're right.

I didn't think of it before.

Now that you talked about it, I do remember that

Uncle Wen

didn't mention anything about Dr Xie at all.

His best friend was killed.

His people are suffering from an epidemic.

But, he is as calm as a millpond.

It's like he didn't know what happened.

There are only two possibilities.

It's either his personality has always been like this.

He's cold about everything.

Or,

he knew that there was a plot behind this incident long ago.

So, I used the incense cone to test him.

But I realized that

he doesn't know the plot behind the incense cone.

So, he's just a pawn.

If we follow the pawn,

we'll discover the mastermind sooner or later.

You have a point.

As women, we can't depend on others.

In the end, we still need to depend on ourselves.

When did you get that?

That's a burn mark from cigarettes.

It's been there for some days.

What's wrong with you?

How could you smoke when you're pregnant?

Wait,

even if you're smoking,

you won't do this to your neck.

Your husband did this to you?

He abused you before?

You're so funny.

You want to die together with a man like him?

And,

you know clearly why the accident happened, am I right?

He was drunk driving!

Even though you were pregnant,

he still drove while he was drunk.

He even used cigarettes to scald you.

Isn't it better now that he's gone?

I understand what you're saying,

but what can I do?

He did hit me and abuse me.

But I still need to depend on him.

I'm an orphan.

I have no family.

He's my only family

after we got married.

Now, he's gone.

My baby is gone as well.

I was thinking about this.

There's no meaning for an unlucky woman like me

to live.

Xiu.

Calm down.

You...

You should have some soup first.

After that, take a nap.

We can think about it when you wake up,

okay?

In the past, I was dependent on men as well.

But slowly, I'm starting to

depend on myself.

When you get better,

I'll tell you my story,

okay?

Dr Liao.

Tell me her situation.

Lan Tian, 20 years old.

She was stabbed in the guts.

She's unconscious.

There's a dark shade around the spleen region.

I suspect she has a ruptured spleen.

Prepare for the surgery immediately.

Alright.

[Splenectomy]

Stop the arteries and veins from bleeding.

Separate them and tie them up.

Remove her spleen.

We'll remove it now.

Alright.

Curved forceps.

I want the large forceps.

Sorry, it's my fault.

Dr Liao, she's bleeding.

Bring me some gauze and hemostats.

Hemostats!

Xiao Cong, the gauze!

We're done. Dr Qiao,

please tell her family and caretaker

to take note of the drainage tube.

Alright.

And, if it contains a huge amount

of blood-like liquid,

it means that her abdominal cavity is bleeding.

Ask them to report to us immediately if this happens.

Understood.

Okay, the surgery is complete.

I'll leave it to you now.

Don't worry, Dr Liao.

Go and find Matron Ye after you're done here.

It's a taboo for us to be distracted during a surgery.

Someone will die if this is an emergency.

Cut it.
