[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 3]

Hold on.

Okay.

Let's go.

What do you think?

I think her uterine scar is acting up

after the previous C-section.

I think so as well.

That's why I asked you to take a look for me.

This is as risky as

ectopic pregnancy.

It may cause her uterus to bleed

or rupture.

What do you plan to do?

I will do the C-section for sure.

But according to her

current uterus condition,

removing the uterus will be the safest way

if she doesn't plan to give birth anymore.

It is the solution with the least risk.

The pregnant lady introduced herself to me just now.

She has a two-year-old child.

No.

If Ansha cannot give birth,

her husband's family will drive her away.

But if we don't remove her uterus,

her life will be in danger.

Uterus is the talisman

for women of the Maribor Island.

What will happen if we have no choice

but to remove her uterus?

She'll be discriminated.

Even worse,

her husband has the right to divorce her.

After the divorce,

no one will marry her again.

Her life will be over.

So,

you guys don't need to waste time in convincing her.

She will never agree to it.

It's that serious?

Doctor!

Coming.

Doctor.

Ansha.

Remove my uterus?

I understand what you're saying.

You guys want to remove my uterus?

No!

I don't want to remove my uterus!

It's okay.

Don't worry.

We were just talking about the C-section.

C-section?

Yes.

No.

I don't want that.

I'm just bleeding a little.

I will be fine. It doesn't matter.

I must

give birth to my baby.

Ansha,

you're experiencing a haemorrhage.

If we don't do the C-section,

your life may be in danger.

You're lying.

You just want to remove my uterus.

There's something in this hospital.

I warn you.

I won't remove anything from my body.

I won't bring evil back home.

Ansha!

Listen to me.

My brother and I are both here.

I promise.

You're not going to bring any evil things back home.

There are plenty of people in the yard.

The evil things won't get close to us.

Be patient.

Listen to the doctor.

Okay?

No.

I need to go.

Ansha!

I told you I need to go.

You need to calm down.

You cannot leave.

Don't touch me, liar!

You're in great danger!

You are all liars!

Ansha.

Xin Lu!

Ansha!

Ansha!

It's all your fault!

You brought me here.

What happened?

I want to go home right now.

Miss Qiao,

what did they do to Ansha?

She wants to cut my belly open.

She wants to remove my uterus.

What? No!

No!

Miss Qiao!

Ansha was bleeding

non-stop!

I was afraid that she might be in danger!

I heard that Dr Zhou is great at delivering babies.

That's why I brought her here!

If Sir and Madam

knew that I brought her here

and knew that you guys want to cut her belly open,

They'll kill me!

Stop shouting!

I'm around. No one will kill you.

They're right.

They're speaking the truth.

You guys can decide if you want to accept their advice.

If your owner asks you about this,

tell them that I was the one who told you to bring Ansha here.

Tell me if they're blaming you for this.

Ansha,

go home and talk to your husband.

You can't wait anymore.

Let me go.

Ansha.

Ansha.

That won't do.

It's very dangerous.

This is Zal Island for you.

Not every woman has the chance

to go out and explore the outside world.

Some of them will never be able to leave the island.

If their uterus is removed,

they will have no hope.

Dr Qiao.

Please come here.

I'm coming.

I'll leave first.

What do you plan to do now?

Removing her uterus

is the best solution after doing the C-section.

But now, the patient doesn't want that.

I can't do anything about it.

Fine.

Tell me your solution.

You won't ask me to come

if you don't have a solution.

You do know what I'm thinking.

Yes.

I have an idea.

I'll do the C-section.

I'll remove the uterine scar from the previous C-section.

After that, I'll try to repair her uterus.

But her HCG

is more than 10,000 mIU/ml.

How do you plan to

avoid her from losing too much blood?

I plan to do the C-section first.

After that, I'll block the flow of blood of her uterus.

After that, I'll perform an intralesional excision.

That way, she will lose

less than 500 ml of blood.

By doing so, she won't suffer

from severe blood loss during the surgery.

That way, we can buy time

to surture her wound

and protect her uterus.

This idea is not bad at all.

No matter if it's on a theoretical or technical perspective,

it is viable.

But that way,

all the risk

will be on you.

Compared with Ansha,

this risk

is nothing.

So,

you aren't an irresponsible doctor

who pushes away your responsibility.

You aren't as bad as you think.

I believe Ansha is lucky to have met you.

She'll be fine.

Enough now.

You can stop licking my boots.

Now, Ansha doesn't have much time left.

I need to persuade her to go for the surgery.

I need an assistant

just in case anything goes wrong.

It'll be you.

But, how can I convince Ansha?

Dr Xie.

Cong.

This is the water

you'll get today.

Two bottles each.

Thank you.

Wu,

it's been an entire day.

Yet I only had two buns.

I'm still growing up, you know?

I've spent all of my energy long ago.

Look at this luncheon meat.

It's fine that you didn't fry it.

But you only gave me two pieces?

Fine.

Xiao Cong,

you're really taking everything for granted.

Now, there's no water or electricity

in the hospital.

The generator in the basement

can only produce enough electricity

for our work.

If we use that electricity to cook,

the entire system will be done for.

It's lucky that Wu is resourceful enough.

He went to the back hill to acquire some firewood.

It's hard enough for him

to steam rice.

He has no way of cooking fancy dishes for you.

Do you think you're in Beijing?

You should go to

the local restaurant here.

Even their cook aren't as good as Wu.

They only have dry ration.

You should be content.

You better eat now.

We still need to work later.

Wu.

Dr Xie.

The food is great today.

I'm really sorry about this.

We need to

enlighten this child.

Cong,

seems like you don't have an appetite.

According to my experience, I think it's because

you're too tired.

You'll be fine after you sleep

for a few hours.

If you can't eat this,

why don't I make something else for you?

Something else?

What else can you make for me?

Soy sauce with rice.

And...

The chili sauce

is free of charge.

What do you think?

It's still plain rice, isn't it?

Cong,

let me

have a chat with you.

In the past,

I was working for

a cargo ship.

I was involved in many dangerous situations.

But,

experiencing an earthquake

right after

we arrived here,

that's a first for me.

Honestly speaking,

I'm very impressed with you guys.

You need to finish this no matter what.

You need to eat for your body's sake,

you hear me?

Yeah.

Okay.

I expect great things from you.

Xiao Cong.

Here's a heart for you.

Here.

I'll come back and check later.

You must finish this, okay?

Okay.

Alright.

This isn't the romantic island I expected at all.

This isn't my sanctuary at all.

I think this place is pretty good

after spending some time here.

At least

this place is quiet and no one will disturb me.

I can focus on my research.

What are you doing?

I'm cleaning my shoes.

I got blood on it a few days ago.

If I don't clean it now, I won't be able to remove them.

It's so hard to clean it off.

You're cleaning your shoes?

Using the water you drink?

It's fine.

I may die,

but my shoes must be clean.

Youngsters nowadays would rather give up their lives than to sacrifice aesthetics.

Speaking of youngsters,

do you know who that

reckless young girl

is?

You must be talking about Qiao Yu Qian.

She's the youngest daughter of the Qian tribe in Zal Island.

She's the favourite child of the late tribe leader, Mr Qiao.

She's the sister of the current tribe leader, Qiao Xiang Wan.

She's a lucky girl

who's born with a silver spoon.

She was born in the 90s.

Just like me.

They hired a Mandarin tutor for her since young.

After that, she studied

in the US.

She's the pinnacle of Eastern and Western culture.

She returned just two months ago.

She insisted on working in Friendship Hospital.

She didn't work for

the Western District Hospital.

Judging from this fact,

I suppose she's a loyal person.

I guess I don't need to introduce Qiao Xiang Wan to you.

He's the big shot

in Zal Island.

Here.

You see?

He was the one who sent us

all these resources.

You do know much about them even though it has only been one day.

Do you fancy her?

That's impossible.

Even if I were to fancy her, she would fancy me first.

She fancies you?

No.

Do you know why I know her background

so well?

This is the advantage

of being a male nurse.

All the female nurses

are willing to tell you their mind.

That's why I can know so much

about the hospital.

That way, it'll be way easier for me to work.

As a nurse,

first,

you must be professional.

Second,

you must be good at communicating.

Did Matron Xu teach you that?

I don't need my mother to teach me that.

I'm clever and agile.

I'm a rare talent, you know?

Everyone loves me.

I'm the only person that Wang doesn't pick on.

I have another gossip to tell you.

Li Tian Cheng.

He's the coursemate of Mr Qiao

and Miss Liang while they were in university.

Do you know what's their relationship?

It's a love triangle.

He came right after Mr Qiao and Miss Liang

announced their engagement.

All those female nurses said that

he's here

to wreak havoc.

I'll leave it to you then.

Mr Qiao.

This earthquake

has severed the communication between

Zal Island and the outside world.

Zal Island is really an isolated island now.

We lack everything.

And our embassy

is on the main island.

They can't fly over with the helicopter right now.

They can't do anything

even if they want to help.

Thank you for sending us

so much supplies.

Dr Huo,

you're too courteous.

You guys are here to help us out.

The mainland of China is my homeland.

We welcome you guys.

In the future,

you can tell me

if you need anything.

Sure.

By the way,

I need your help for something.

In the past,

the director of Friendship Hospital

was appointed by the local government

in order to manage the hospital.

And our medical team

is only responsible for training them

so that they can manage the hospital.

Now,

the position is vacant.

It's hindering our progress.

We can't ignore this matter.

You guys just came here

and are unfamiliar with the place.

How about this?

I will

tell the department in charge

to find a suitable person

to take over that position.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Zhou Yue.

What are you looking for?

Dr Huo.

Come.

Let me introduce you to him.

This is Mr Qiao Xiang Wan.

This is Zhou Yue.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Hello.

This is the youngest doctor in our hospital.

She's the Deputy Chief Physician of the O&G Department.

After Dr Xie left,

she's responsible for

the promotion of health to the public

and the rehabilitation works for the children.

Daniel told me about you before.

He said you were a doctor

who helped him to deliver a baby

within the ruins.

This is great.

Dr Zhou,

if you need anything in the future,

you can tell me.

I'll tell you

how you can help me now.

We're in a dire need of

blood plasma right now.

Mr Qiao,

can you help us out?

That's how she is. Please forgive her.

Not at all.

Blood plasma? No problem.

Leave it to me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Two women with labour dystocia.

You're pretty good.

The women in your island

are pretty good at giving birth.

Both of them are old and at high-risk.

And they had given birth to several children as well.

So what if they can give birth?

Many of them are dead or disabled for life.

It's just a natural process for them.

They're used to it already.

I'll leave now.

Okay.

Do you want to have dinner together?

No thanks.

I didn't sleep well these few days.

I'll go back and sleep.

I still need to

go to the hospital and check if

we have the right to do uterine artery embolization.

What if Ansha changes her mind

and comes for the surgery,

am I right?

Are you really preparing for her surgery?

Aren't you afraid of the risk?

She's in real danger right now.

I was thinking

how to convince her

to go for the surgery.

Fine.

I'll visit her tomorrow.

Thanks.

It's what I should do.

Stop growling.

I'm so hungry.

No.

I need to find food.

There's no water?

Put it back.

You can't take that bottle.

Why?

We have a quota for every bottle of water.

We've sent yours

to the restaurant.

But I really need some water right now.

No.

These bottles of water belong to the female nurses.

Look.

Their names are written on top of it.

If you drink their water,

they have to go to the restaurant

in order to get water.

Now, there's no electricity.

Can you bear to let a woman

take water by herself in a dark environment?

You should consider their feelings.

Just one sip.

What?

Are you afraid of the dark?

If you're afraid of the dark,

I can accompany you there.

Since I'm free anyway.

I can go by myself.

You're so considerate.

Didn't I light this candle just now?

I must be hallucinating.

But I think

I did the same thing before.

This rice is tasteless.

Don't tell me this place is haunted?

Impossible.

I'm sure someone did this.

Who's there?

Is anyone there?

What a lunatic.

Are you that hungry?

You're a girl, yet you're braving the dark

in order to find food?

Aren't you afraid at all?

Why should I be afraid?

What? Can't girls be hungry?

Listen,

I'm the queen of horror movies.

Ghosts, thrillers,

zombies, vampires,

I like them as long as they're scary.

Fine.

No wonder you don't need your boyfriend to accompany you.

Boyfriend?

What are you talking about?

Did you forget about your considerate boyfriend?

Liao Yu?

Yeah.

You...

Me?

Why are you here

in the middle of the night?

I'm here to take water.

Your dear Wu

gave my water away

to the local workers.

Are you even included in the quota?

Didn't you say

you'll leave after they restore the transport system?

But they haven't restored it yet.

She's already married now.

You should get over it.

Who?

What are you talking about?

I've heard about it.

You were in a relationship with Miss Liang.

You came here without telling her, am I right?

I did...

Wait.

You actually tried to hear about me?

Someone told me.

You think I'll do this?

I do know

how you feel.

You've spent a long time with her.

But now, she's marrying someone else.

I know you'll feel uncomfortable somehow.

You'll feel unhappy.

But,

you need to get over it.

Violence can't solve your problem.

Violence?

Who are you talking about?

I know you don't want to admit it.

Me?

Sometimes, you need to think of it in this way.

When you love a person

and spend a long time with them,

it doesn't mean that she loves you as well.

If the two of you are truly in love with each other,

no one will be able to tear you guys apart.

You broke up because there's no love anymore.

So, breaking up is a good thing.

Just like that song,

you can only meet the right one by bidding farewell to the wrong one.

Which song?

So you should listen to me.

You should leave immediately

once they restore the transport system.

Never turn back.

Don't even return here.

I don't want to leave now.

You must leave.

I won't leave even if the transport system was restored.

You need to leave eventually.

But before you leave,

you can do something meaningful

and leave us with a good impression,

especially in front of your ex-girlfriend.

You can leave her with some good memories

so that she thinks that you're still a great guy.

Wait, shouldn't you swallow

your food before you speak?

I have a ready chance for you.

I'm thinking about a surgery.

It's a pregnant woman who's suffering from her previous C-section scars.

If we can convince her

to cooperate with us,

we can remove the tumour and protect her uterus.

Currently, Liao Yu is on my side.

In order to increase the chance of success,

I need an assistant.

I feel like leaving right now.

You don't need to be that nervous.

I saw the surgeries you did before.

I think

you're an outstanding surgeon.

I...

Now, what you need to do is

to put your effort

into your noble career

so that you can move on with your life.

But I'm heartbroken right now.

Just prepare yourself.

The bowl is over there.

Over there.

Be careful!

I hope your participation

will ensure our success.

Ansha will be fine.

Please bless her.

Please bless her.

Please let her be safe.

Commence the surgery.

You do really love Ansha.

You know my parents.

They want us to send her

to the Western District Hospital.

Not here.

If anything happens to Ansha and our baby,

my family will force us to have a divorce.

In this situation,

doctors

from other hospitals

would've cut off her womb. Only Dr Zhou

is willing to do the C-section for her

so that she could keep her uterus.

Do you trust me?

I...

I trust her.

Sir.

Sir.

I was told that Dr Zhou

delivered a baby during the earthquake.

So, she's really good.

And you're so kind.

Buddha will bless Ansha.

Please be safe.

[Low-segment Cesarean Section]

Gauze.

Ready.

Did everything go well?

They're both doing great.

Your baby is very healthy.

So does your wife.

Thank you so much.

Don't worry.

Apply pressure to the bleeding point.

[Excision and Repair of the Uterine Scar]

1:0 ratio absorbable suture.

How many layers

do we need to sew?

Two layers.

We're facing tough challenges every day, huh?

What?

Are you scared?

These days are too interesting for me.

Sis Hong.

Sis Hong.

What's wrong?

I'll get the flashlight.

What's happening?

It's an aftershock.

It's fine.

It's no big deal.

Sis Hong, hurry.

Stupid wirings.

No, I can't see the bleeding point.

Direct the light to the right.

No.

Move to the right.

More.

Sis Hong, let me do it.

Good job, Dr Li.

Stay there.

[In order to make sure the operating table is germ-free,]

[doctors aren't allowed to return to the operating table once they leave.]

Done.

Victory is at hand.

I've stopped her from bleeding out.

Okay.

I'll sew the wound together.

Let me help you.

Dr Liao,

you're the legendary Master Liao indeed.

Even watching the process is a type of enjoyment.

You're amazing.

I would've fallen in love with you if I were a girl.

Master Liao.

Where's her husband?

Ask him to come.

I'll take care of her.

Sir is in the nursery with his baby.

You should follow us to the ward then.

Doctor.

Dr Zhou, thank you so much.

Take good care of her.

You guys must take note of this.

You must feed her healthy food.

Thank you, Dr Zhou.

When Ansha gets better,

I'll tell everyone that

the Friendship Hospital

is as good as the Western District Hospital.

You actually did it

under such harsh circumstances.

No one will dare to spread rumours about you anymore.

Why are you here?

Where's Dr Liao?

He's changing his outfit.

Yu Qian.

You should learn from Dr Zhou's boyfriend.

He can sew wounds together without the needle holder.

Boyfriend?

No!

Dr Zhou,

are you a couple with Dr Liao?

He isn't my boyfriend.

Liao Yu is single.

But last night, I asked you if he was your boyfriend.

And you didn't deny it.

I didn't admit it either.

You're doing this on purpose.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Don't move.

What is this?

You want a flower,

right?

Okay.

I'll give you a flower.

Flower!

What is this?

This is a flower.

Okay?

It's your turn.

What do you want?

A candy!

Okay. A candy? No problem.

But before that,

let's have some pills!

No!

Yes.

You guys need to take your pills.

You guys won't recover if you don't take them.

-Okay. -Okay.

Pusha.

Give them their medicine.

Here I am.

Here are your pills.

And water.

Take it.

Open your mouth.

Okay.

Okay.

Water.

Your water.

Okay.

Okay.

Come.

Everyone's here?

It's been three days.

We finally have the chance to take a breather.

Today,

you guys can give me a brief report.

You first.

The medical facilities has been malfunctioning.

I think we need to check them.

We have a lot of patients.

It'll be troublesome

if they malfunction when we need to use them.

Now, Dr Qiao has only been here for two months.

Dr Ge doesn't know anything.

Only Dr Xie knows the exact condition

of the medical facilities.

Wait.

Wait a minute.

Where is he?

Zhou Yue.

You.

Call him here.

Be careful, okay?

Dr Zhou.

Dr Xie.

What's wrong?

Dr Huo is holding a meeting with all of us.

All of us are waiting for you.

I won't attend the meeting.

But we're unfamiliar

with the environment.

I think you should tell us about it.

Tell him I'm having a stomachache.

I'm applying for leave today.

Okay.

Dr Huo,

Dr Xie said he's having a stomachache.

It's obvious that he's lying.

You knew he was lying.

Yet you didn't expose him?

If everyone here

acts like him,

how do we

conquer this complicated environment?

How do we face our arduous tasks?

He's just like Wang.

He criticizes me in the same way.

Dr Xie

is unhappy with me ever since

we came here.

He shouldn't bring his personal biases

into his work,

am I right?

Zhou Yue.

You.

Go and drag him here.

He needs to

attend this meeting

no matter if he's having a stomachache or not.

Dr Huo,

how could he attend the meeting with a stomachache?

Wait...

I just sat down.

Why are you still sitting there?

Go now.

Are you serious?

Do you think I'm joking?

Save me.

Dr Huo,

I think

you're right.

But,

this is a difficult situation

indeed.

If Dr Xie does have a stomachache,

Dr Zhou can't bring him here.

How about this?

We'll let Dr Zhou pass a message to Dr Xie.

We can ask Dr Xie

to collect his stool and send them for a test.

That way, we'll know

he's lying or not.

We can also know why he has a stomachache if he has one.

I think Dr Liao is right.

We should send Dr Liao then.

Because he's a man,

Dr Huo.

Let me say something.

I do think that

the food we take

and our sleep schedule are in a mess

these few days.

So, I think it's normal for him

to have a stomachache.

Two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui

will take care of everything.

Yeah.

Regarding Dr Liao's proposal,

I think we can wait until

Dr Xie

is finished with his business, am I right?

Fine, you can stay here.

Sit down.

But,

we must be

very disciplined when we work, understood?

Sorry.

I...

I was a bit too much just now.

It's fine.

We understand.

I'm sorry.

But,

since he's absent from today's meeting,

I will give him a demerit.

As long as I'm here,

I have the right to command him.

I'll find him in the toilet then.

Alright.

Let's start our meeting.

Who'll start first?

I'll speak first.

I'll report the situation in the Nursing Department

to everyone here.

Dr Xie.

You'll leave soon, right?

Why are you still making this?

Don't mention that.

The ferry service has been suspended.

I guess I won't be able to leave for some time.

Uncle Wen.

Look at this.

What do you think?

It's great.

With this,

it'll be easier for the children

to understand our stories.

How's the transition plan?

It's going well.

Do you have the results

for the stool analysis

of Qiao Li Cai's children from Linshui Village?

That test is pretty complicated.

You know our condition.

I can't do the test over here.

Even the Western District Hospital

couldn't do it.

Since no one in Zal Island is capable of doing this test,

and you were in a hurry,

I sent the samples

to the medical research centre on the main island.

But an earthquake happened before they could produce any result.

I'm afraid we still have to wait.

Uncle Wen,

this is quite an emergency.

I will tell Dr Zhou about this.

She'll continue with my work.

By then, I'll tell her to follow my instructions.

I'll ask her to go to the village

and try to find out what's going on.

Alright.

I will send her the results

once they're out.

I'll leave it to you then.

Dr Xie,

you're a nice person.

I'm afraid we won't meet again

after you return to your country.

Uncle Wen,

what are you saying?

I can still come here for a trip.

You can come to my country for a trip as well.

Am I right?

We will be brothers forever.

You can continue with your work.

I'll store the things

in the store room.

Alright.

Is Dr Huo

going through menopause?

It's either he pulls a long face

or he goes around telling people off.

Did you realize that Dr Xie and Dr Huo

are at odds with each other?

I heard that

Dr Huo

didn't want to come to this island in the first place.

He even went to

argue with the hospital's director before.

Is that so?

You can ask Sis Hong if you don't believe me.

Don't ask me.

There's something more surprising.

He used starvation as an excuse to threaten Director Liu.

You'll never guess it

when he looks like an honest man, right?

Now, he's talking about discipline and our mission.

He's sly and cunning.

Xiao Cong, that's enough.

Stop it already.

You're shaking our morale.

Anyway, I think

Dr Huo cherishes life.

He always tell us

to take care of ourselves.

Safety is our priority.

When did he change his mind?

I heard it from Lin, our security guard.

One night,

our hospital...

What are you guys talking about?

Dr Xie.

You're so sneaky.

Lian Yu,

this is the list for

our medical facilities

and their usage.

Over here,

for the last two items,

the operating light for the second operating room

and the EFM for the O&G department,

the records

are empty

because I'm still fixing them.

I'll write them down after I'm done fixing them.

Alright.

See you.

Dr Xie.

How's

your stomach?

I've recovered.

I'm fine now.

I heard that you had a serious stomachache.

Who am I?

I'm Dr Xie, you know?

My immune system is strong.

Dr Xie is the king of stomachache.

I'm Dr Xie.

You don't need to do a stool test for me.

These are anti-inflammatory drugs

for both internal and external uses.

The drugs for internal use are safe for breastfeeding.

It'll help with her anaemia as well.

I will be fine. Thank you, doctor.

Dr Zhou,

your first-aid kit is on my ride.

And,

I went to fix my ride today.

That path is pretty beautiful.

I just fixed

my Senorita today.

Do you want me to give you a ride?

No thanks.

I'll ask Yu Qian out then.

Suit yourself.

Just don't ask me out.

Wait!
