Chapter 9: Try me
Chapter 9: Try me
"You won't dare," scoffed Wen Mei. She knew that a mere commoner wouldn't dare to defy her.
Though Wen Family was not as famous as the other prestigious families it still had power enough so that no one would dare to defy them.
The Wen Family ran one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country. Almost every hospital in the capital was under them.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen had only one child namely Wen Mei. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wen were one of the most capable doctors. Almost everyone in their family was in medical services because of which Wen Mei was also expected to be one.
"Try me," said Wang Yu Yan who started driving towards the hospital.
Wen Mei did not expect Wang Yu to have the courage to defy the young miss of the Wen Family.
She wanted to question her about if she knew who was Wen Mei.
But now her main concern was to save herself from the upcoming danger. She panicked so she decided to open her mouth and to let the cat out of her bag.
"Wait! I-I Will tell you everything but please first stop the car," as Wen Mei blurted out these words the car was immediately taken to aside.
Wang Yu Yan parked her car and went out of the car just to open the door for the confused Wen Mei.
Wen Mei got out of the car and asked, "Why are we here?" She was fine anywhere until it wasn't the hospital.
But she was surprised to see that they were near a playground.
Today was Saturday so there were many children with their families. Wang Yu Yan led her to a swing.
When they seated themselves Wang Yu Yan noticed her confusion and said, "I thought this would be a great place to talk," which received an 'oh' from Wen Mei.
"Then let's get started we don't have enough time to waste," said Wang Yu Yan.
Wen Mei was hesitant but on realizing that she had no other choice she decided to share her secrets.
While her gaze was fixed on a child playing with his mom and dad.
She started, "I am the one and only child in my family. My parents told me that after many difficulties I was born. They love me more than anything. As you know they are both one of the most respected doctors in the country.
As I grew up I realized that everyone around me expected me to be a doctor just like my parents. I also love them as much as they love me so I decided to go in the field of medicines just like my parents. At first, I thought that it would be easy and I could do it but as I moved into university I realized that being a doctor was never my dream.
But then also I decided to bear it with all my might for the sake of my parents. Until the third year of the university, I received appreciable grades. After I graduated I did not go to any hospital I told my parents that I wanted to rest for a year or two and they agreed and one day I decided to tell my parents that I don't wanna be a doctor.
But the day I approached them my father fell ill and I thought that telling them would not be appropriate as the doctor suggested that they were not be given stress. And that's where they told me to attend this surgery and I-I could not refuse them. On my way here I decided to get drunk so that the hospital refuses me to attend the surgery.
And then I ended up here."
As she gets to the end of her speech her eyes turned watery. And a single drop of tear ran down her cheek.
Wang Yu Yan whose gaze never left Wen Mei noticed it.
Though she wasn't interested in other affairs she Wang Yu Yan wasn't so heartless that she won't confront a person who had just told her, her secret.
Also, she understood Wen Mei's concern. She let out a loud sigh before speaking to Wen Mei.
"Did your parent's ever told you that they wanted you to be a doctor?" asked Wang Yu Yan.
"But Everyone told me that I had to be a doctor," said Wen Mei.
"Did the 'Everyone' you mentioned also included your parents?" asked Wang Yu Yan.
"No bu-," Wen Mei was cut off by Wang Yu Yan.
"Then how did you know that they wanted you to be a doctor?"
" I-I," Wen Mei did not know what to say.
What Wang Yu Yan said was right.
Her parents never told her that they wanted her to become a doctor. When She told her parents that she wanted to be a doctor they were happy to hear it.
Yet never did she heard from them that they wanted her to be one.
"Only by the people around you saying that you had to be a doctor because you were their daughter did you thought that they wanted you to be a doctor. Have you ever talked to them about this?" said Wang Yu Yan.
After a short pause, she continued, "If you overcome the situation of the surgery will you promise me that you will talk to them?"
"Yes I will tell them that I did not want to be a doctor," said Wen Mei with a determined look in her face.
But after realizing what Wang Yu Yan said, she spoke, "But how will I overcome this situation. I cannot even hold a scalpel then how will I do this surgery."
