[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 24]

You did a good job just now.

This is nothing.

I'm the head of the hospital's medical knowledge education unit.

This community seminar is just child's play.

I'm starting to realize that you have a lot of merits yourself.

What a pity.

Even with all my merits,

I still can't catch your eye.

Can we still be friends?

Sure.

I adore you, Dr Qiao.

But I'm not shameless.

At least we can still be friends for this lifetime.

I'm going to chat with them for a while.

Sis Yue tasked me to educate the people here.

[Lin Sui Village Office]

Dr Qiao.

I'm sorry.

Why sorry?

It was my fault that night.

I didn't consider your feelings.

So, I think I should apologize to you.

What's there to apologize?

It was just wishful thinking on my part.

I do think that we're not compatible.

Why not?

Just tell me.

Do you like me, even a little bit?

-I... -You do?

I don't know.

What's there to talk about, then?

You don't like me, it was just my wishful thinking, serves me right.

Why are you sorry?

Calm down, Dr Qiao.

I think I did the right thing, rejecting you that day.

It's just that my method was wrong.

But, I want to tell you that love is sacred.

I just don't simply say "I love you" to anyone.

Why do you think that my love is not sacred?

Just because I said it out?

I like you, period.

If I deny that, then that is disrespect towards love.

Dr Qiao.

Listen.

I'm a foreign aid doctor while you're stationed here.

I'm here to work.

It's my principle. I can't break the rules.

Dr Qiao.

Another thing.

You come from a prestigious family.

We belong to two different worlds.

That's the reason, right?

Can we go back to how we were before?

Let's keep an appropriate distance as colleagues.

You're just like the others.

You think I'm a brainless, rich girl,

so you look down upon me.

No.

Enough.

I'm officially announcing

that I'm ending my crush on you starting from this very moment.

Let's not even talk much in the future.

Just keep an appropriate distance as colleagues, like you said.

[Lin Shui Village Health Station]

I...

Hello?

[Hi, Cindy.]

[Can't you recognise me?]

[It's me, Fanny.]

Fanny?

[Long time no see.]

[So, let's gather for a round of drinks tonight.]

Where are you going?

I was just passing by,

so I was just checking what's going on inside.

You're...

Today, Li Tian Cheng's global fan club

is welcoming a new president.

I guess I need to pass him my baton.

Be careful of the Ladies' Friend, then.

He's a real ladies' friend

who will poach your fans away.

Actually, I have a question for you.

You...

Are you seriously courting me?

Did I behave so shyly?

Then...

I need to prove it.

Stand here.

What are you doing?

Didn't you say you want to prove it?

Yes, but must we use such extreme methods?

This is a local custom here.

No.

The fan club didn't mention any custom like this.

This is to test your sincerity.

If the dart doesn't hit you,

then that means you're sincere.

If it does...

Wait, this is the 21st century.

We have more scientific methods.

When in Zal, do as the islanders do.

Are you up to it?

Bring it.

Close your eyes.

If you won't close yours, I'll close mine.

One.

Two.

Three!

Scared?

You're sincere.

Today, I'm here to play a game with you.

Have you heard of Truth or Dare?

I have.

But, just playing that isn't fun.

That's why I'm adding this dart session.

Whoever hits closer to the bulls' eye gets to ask a question.

The person who is questioned must answer truthfully.

Bring it on.

I'll go first.

Ladies first.

Luck's on my side.

First question.

You've broken up with Ms Liang for so many years,

yet I saw both of you hugging each other a few days ago.

Wait, this is a misunderstanding.

That day, she...

Thomas was drunk, and he was in the car too.

Then, she...

Ms Liang said it was you who initiated it.

Who do you believe, me or her?

Fine.

Then, who's your first love?

Me?

A fellow doctor from my hospital.

Then, we got married...

Wait, wait.

Forget about your first love.

Your ex.

It's the same.

First love, ex...

Only one?

What about you?

Skip.

What do you mean, skip?

No skipping here.

Hurry up.

-Didn't you say... -Yeah, yeah.

What's with that lousy shot?

Is that your second question?

No.

My second question...

Second question...

You're a debauched...

Mind your vocabulary.

Unrestrained and free-spirited.

So...

Have you thought of settling down?

Not in the past,

but I do think about it now.

Ms Qiao, what would you like.

Wait.

My period is coming soon.

[Your period is coming today.]

How about a hot drink?

Long time no see, Cindy.

Yes, long time no see.

Have you been well?

Why did you suddenly ask me out?

Nothing.

Can't we just gather a while?

Your drink.

What do you want?

Whiskey on ice, please.

Okay.

Looks like you really love your job.

If I don't, I wouldn't be doing it now.

Yeah.

You come from a rich family.

You can do whatever you like.

Excuse me, your whiskey.

Are you here today

just to catch up with me?

I'm Dr Ge's representative attorney.

So, that's why you're here.

Cindy, please help Dr Ge.

What Uncle Wen did could destroy an entire family.

As his attorney, you should persuade him to plead guilty.

How am I supposed to help you in this?

What can I do?

Please look for your brother

and ask him to find someone

to stop everyone from digging up more dirt.

Just let Dr Ge take the blame.

I can manipulate this case as a medical accident

so Dr Ge would be given a lighter sentence.

What does this have to do with my brother?

Stop acting cute.

This involves the interests of the higher-ups in the Health Department.

Without Mr Qiao pulling the strings behind,

how could the cat get out of the bag so easily?

The interests of the higher-ups in the Health Department?

More like the interests of the An family, right?

It was Anna who asked you to come here, right?

To think she's still protecting Roy after what he has done.

Fanny, you're a lawyer.

You should act according to your conscience.

My mother is suffering from terminal liver cancer.

She's only got one month left.

What?

Actually, it wasn't just Anna who approached me.

There's my uncle, too.

My uncle promised to acknowledge my mother's status

before she dies.

His condition is

to take care of this issue.

What era are we in now?

Is it that important to have your mother's status acknowledged?

It is.

According to Zal's customs,

if a woman cannot enter her husband's ancestral hall before her death,

it's a dishonour.

You've been to many places,

but my mother has never left here.

She's lived her whole life on this island.

She takes this very seriously.

I'm sorry about your mother.

However, this is perverting the course of justice.

I really can't help you.

Cindy.

You really are a carefree princess.

Your social quotient is worse than a ten-year-old's, no?

What's good and bad?

No one in this world is absolutely good

or absolutely bad.

I can guarantee that in order to fight Mr An,

your brother has resorted to unscrupulous means.

You...

Please advise him to restrain himself.

Otherwise, even you might get involved.

Enough, Fanny.

Don't speak nonsense.

So, you're not helping me and Dr Ge?

I won't persuade Thomas over what Uncle Wen has done.

But, if your mother wants to find a better hospital,

maybe on the main island...

No need.

I don't need fake favours from you.

I'd like to ask you for one last thing.

Since you won't help me, forget it.

But, I hope you won't tell anyone about our meeting tonight.

Thanks.

Hello, John. I'm Cindy.

Do you have time for a meet-up?

Okay, I'll send you my location.

I'll be waiting.

Thank you.

What?

You're drinking?

-Yeah. -Water with lemon?

Yes, you can't touch alcohol now.

Also, no cold drinks for you. Only hot beverages.

-Just one sip of booze? -Not even one sip.

Let's go.

How nice is it to sit outside.

The weather is so pleasant now.

Let me ask you this.

Am I that kind of man

who'd make someone feel like getting married?

What's with you?

Are you proposing to me?

I'm engaged.

It's too late, man.

Why are you suddenly asking such a funny question?

Of course you're not.

You're obviously

that kind of man who can't provide a sense of security, okay?

So...

You're getting married because Thomas makes you feel secure,

or do you really love him?

Both.

Okay.

For women,

security and love are both important.

None is indispensable.

It's a fact that men and women think differently.

Men tend to focus on solving the problem at hand

while women tend to consider the pros and cons.

So, men are aggressive creatures

while women are safe creatures.

What's this about men and women?

You're an aggressive creature too, right?

That's because you don't understand me.

That day in front of the hospital,

it was you who hugged me first.

Why did you tell her that it was me who hugged you?

So?

What's the point of who's hugging whom?

I don't remember clearly now.

Is this important?

She got the wrong idea.

What, she asked you?

Do you really like Dr Zhou?

I love her.

What?

You what?

Thank you, Cindy.

Lawyer An said she'd make Dr Ge a state witness.

I thought she wanted to make him spill the truth.

To think she's pushing it to someone else.

I guess Fanny and Anna will hate me.

But, what you did was correct.

Now, I'm even more certain

that the An family must be involved in the vaccine failure.

No matter how they're going to shift the blame,

I'm going to bring them to justice.

Zal will get better in the future, right?

What?

Daddy used to tell us that Chinese blood runs in our family.

But, our ancestors lived in destitution,

so they came to Nanyang and eked out a living from selling pigs.

Still, he told us not to forget our heritage.

But, my ancestors' hometown is different now.

I've been there before.

Everyone there is living well.

Also, when I heard the Chinese doctors in the hospital

talk about their current lives,

I feel so envious.

So, Zal is going to get better too, right?

It will.

Cheers.

Actually, I told her that back then

because I know that

if a woman falls in love with an unstable man,

she would end up in misery.

She would be forced to experience

the feeling of being abandoned and heartbreak.

Also, Dr Zhou is the type of woman

who follows the rules and is innocent.

She's different from me.

If she accidentally falls for your charm...

-I... -And if you give up on her,

she might not accept it well.

Wait.

Why do you sound as if I'm a playboy?

I didn't say you're a playboy.

You're not a playboy.

You're just someone

who won't settle down for anyone, anywhere.

You actually interrogated me because of Dr Zhou.

Looks like you're really in love with her.

Okay.

I was too nosy, then.

I won't test Dr Zhou anymore.

I'm sorry.

I promise.

You really still behave like a child.

Have you thought of settling down?

Not in the past,

but I do think about that now.

Then...

Why?

Be it Zhou Yue and the rest,

they all feel like family.

I thought Thomas and I were your family.

We're your siblings.

Yeah, but...

They are, too.

-So... -Okay.

So, we're not that special after all.

No matter what,

I'm glad that you've found the woman

whom you truly love.

♫ You're like an enigma ♫

♫ Don't know where you come from ♫

♫ Embued with the warmth of sunshine ♫

♫ The solace of moonlight ♫

♫ How wondrous ♫

You...

♫ Gently, you come closer ♫

What do you like about me?

♫ Melting the ice on me ♫

You...

You're fair.

♫ Tolerating your petty desires ♫

Your hair smells nice.

You're bad tempered.

♫ Your playful antics ♫

And stubborn.

♫ How happy ♫

You always think too much,

and you get jealous easily.

Most importantly,

♫ I want to be with you from sunset till sunrise ♫

you're tacky.

Another thing.

Look down.

You have a double chin.

But to me, these are all very cute.

♫ Dragging you to the rooftop ♫

♫ Embracing while counting stars ♫

So...

Next question.

♫ Whispering sweet nothings ♫

♫ I want to be with you from sunset till sunrise ♫

Try it.

Ask ahead.

♫ Dragging you to the rooftop ♫

When did you start to like me?

♫ Embracing while counting stars ♫

I'll skip that question.

You just said there's no skipping!

♫ Whispering sweet nothings ♫

♫ I want to be with you from sunset till sunrise ♫

Probably around

52 minutes ago.

So, that's...

♫ Be it smooth or bumpy ♫

Both of us...

♫ The best vistas ♫

♫ Are all in your eyes ♫

I'm going back to the hospital.

Why don't I...

♫ In my heart ♫

Forget it, Xu is coming to pick you up.

Then, I'll keep you company while you wait.

No need.

Go back to Dr Zhou.

-You sure? -Go.

I'm going.

Go before I change my mind.

-Ciao. -Ciao.

Xiao Bai.

Don't turn off the music yet.

Okay.

Get me another glass of beer.

Ms Liang, you shouldn't drink too much.

Go back first.

My driver and assistant are coming to pick me up soon.

I'll close the doors for you.

Hello.

[Hi, how are you?]

[How's Daniel?]

He's fine.

[Well, take care of him.]

[I just put out some ideas in the meeting now,]

[and Keyate Pharmacies strongly agreed to them.]

[Daniel, he's going to be a very important chip]

[for financing a new centre.]

Bargaining chips?

[Yeah.]

[Kelly, we just need to work together to secure Daniel's cooperation.]

Sure.

[And I bought you a dozen scarves.]

[Your favourite brand.]

[What you call, though?]

[I can never remember the name, called...]

Thomas.

Thomas.

Can I ask you something?

[Yes, of course.]

What am I to you?

[We're a couple.]

[Also business partners.]

[We're meant to be together.]

What about Daniel?

[He's my brother.]

[My brother for life.]

[Kelly, you're a little strange today.]

[Okay, look, I'm going back to the meeting now, okay?]

[Hey, Kelly, I love you.]

Kelly Liang.

You wanted a vagabond to settle down,

and now you want a businessman to be loving.

Silly you.

What are you looking?

[Friendship Hospital]

Students.

Our nurse training course starts now.

Okay, let me introduce

our matron, Ms Ye Hong!

She will also be your main instructor.

I'm Wang Xiao Cong, a fellow nurse.

I'm also your course coordinator.

Right, let's take your attendance.

Pattiyoha.

Borkani.

Present.

Nan Mei Fang.

Present.

Doyasu.

Present.

Bianti.

Present.

Everyone's here.

Liu Xin Lu?

Present.

Good, take a seat.

Sis Hong, Wang Xiao Cong.

This is my first official job.

Do guide me in the future.

Take a seat.

Xin Lu, you know them?

Yeah.

I've already acknowledged Wang Xiao Cong as my sifu.

All right, stop chatting.

Class begins now.

I see that all of you look happy today.

Just like what Xin Lu said,

you finally have an official job.

But first, I'd like to ask everyone this.

Do you know that

there's another name for nurses?

Angels in white.

Do you know about Florence Nightingale?

She was from England,

and she was the first true nurse in history.

It was her who established nursing as a career.

More than 150 years ago,

she led a team of 38 nurses

to Scutari Hospital amidst the Crimean War.

With their nursing expertise

and their attentive care towards their patients,

the soldiers' mortality rate

dropped from 42% to 2.2%.

That's why she's a heroine to everyone.

She was a holy angel in white.

If you continue studying hard,

you will be more than a mother, a wife,

a daughter or a sister in Zal.

You can also be an angel in white.

How cool.

I believe that today is your happiest day.

However, don't let your guard down.

If you don't pass,

I will be taking back your sacred uniform.

By then, don't wail in front of me.

Let's begin our class now.

Now, let's learn the seven steps of washing hands.

First step.

Wash the palms.

[The Seven Steps of Washing Hands]

The largest organ of the human body

is the skin.

Now, this model is a cutaway of the human skin.

Let's learn together.

What's the uppermost layer?

Any answers?

The uppermost layer is the epidermis.

The epidermis.

The layer underneath the epidermis

is called the stratum lucidum.

Below the stratum lucidum is the stratum granulosum,

then followed by the stratum spinosum.

Lastly, this blue line here, see this?

It's the stratum basale.

Slowly.

Jin Lei!

Jin Lei, what are you doing?

-He's stealing medicine. -Again, Jin Lei?

Shu Hui, let go of me.

Let me go just this once.

Jin Lei!

Ms Qiao.

Hurry up.

Jin Lei!

Stop running, Jin Lei!

-Take him to the bench. -Jin Lei.

Jin Lei, how are you feeling?

I've returned the medicine.

You still can't leave.

Your test results are out.

You're seriously ill. You have to get admitted.

I'm broke.

Jin Lei, we'll help you apply medical assistance funds.

But, you must stay here.

Look at you now.

If you don't take antibiotics now, you'd die!

Liar.

-Jin Lei! -Jin Lei!

Jin Lei!

Jin Lei!

There's no pulse.

Get the emergency stretcher.

Jin Lei!

Jin Lei!

CPR.

[Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)]

Jin Lei.

Jin Lei.

1 mL adrenaline, IV.

Prepare the defibrillator.

200 joules.

Clear.

No cardioversion. Continue CPR.

Inject Lobeline.

Ms Liang.

Let me see.

What are you doing?

His eye pupils are dilated and fixed.

Stop saving him.

No, there's still hope.

You've done your best.

You're not a doctor. Don't obstruct our work!

Shu Hui, take her out.

Ms Liang, sorry.

Please.

I suggest you check his breathing and pulse.

Jin Lei!

-Jin Lei! -Min.

Please calm down, ma'am.

Please wait outside.

Ms Qiao, you must save him!

His heart is beating.

Shu Hui, stethoscope.

Faster.

Unauthorized personnel, please leave.

Don't obstruct our work.

Please wait outside, ma'am.

His heart is beating,

but there's no spontaneous breathing.

Put him on a ventilator.

Shu Hui.

Get the ventilator here.

Okay.

[30 Minutes Later]

0.26.

Dr Qiao.

Dr Qiao.

I must remind you this.

The patient is no longer breathing spontaneously.

Both his pupils are dilated and fixed.

Cindy.

Come out.

I have something to tell you.

The patient is no longer breathing spontaneously.

Both his pupils are dilated and fixed.

There's no reflection.

He's now in a deep coma.

You may have revived his heart,

but his brain had been deprived of oxygen for too long.

He's already brain dead.

Don't we need to observe him for 24 hours

before we can determine brain death?

I can tell you with certainty that with his current condition,

no matter how many 24 hours pass,

he will never wake up.

I just want to save him.

-I didn't expect... -I know, but...

Reviving his heart means giving his family hope.

His wife is out there,

thinking that his husband would wake up anytime.

But, he won't wake up again, ever.

You're really stupid and cruel for doing this, you know?

I told you not to treat him, give up.

You didn't listen to me.

I'm not as selfish as you are.

As long as there's a 0.0001% chance,

I won't give up.

This isn't being selfish.

Friendship Hospital does not have the conditions to save him now.

Unless, we send him to the ICU in the west hospital.

But, do you know how much that costs?

With Jin Lei's financial conditions,

his family can't afford such expenses.

Have you thought about that?

He can ask for the government's subsidy.

Missy.

You've really never worried about money before.

How much does staying in a private hospital's ICU cost?

How much is the government's subsidy?

Do you know?

This is an endless abyss that can never be filled.

What should we do now?

There's only one way.

You mean...

Make her give up on Jin Lei's treatment?

This is life.

Did you just say that

Jin Lei can't wake up anymore?

Judging from his current condition,

his chances of waking up is extremely low.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

When will Jin Lei wake up?

We still need to observe him for 24 hours before we can...

Dr Qiao.

Lying is not a solution.

Lying?

Ms Qiao.

-Are you lying to me? -I'm not.

Then, tell me the truth.

When will Jin Lei wake up?
