Pei Shu'er's expression turned cold, her eyes filled with icy disdain.
"Did I charge you any medical fees?"
The person was taken aback and shook his head hesitantly.
Pei Shu'er continued, "Did I ever say I would save your father first?"
The person looked embarrassed.
No, she hadn't said that.
Pei Shu'er said, "I am here to save people, but life and death are beyond our control. I'm not the only doctor; there's also Doctor Liu and his two apprentices. Why don't you seek them out?"
"You only approached me because I seem kind and easy to talk to."
She raised her voice slightly, "Moreover, I'm not a military doctor; I have no obligation to be responsible for you!"
"Saving you is a matter of morality; not saving you is a matter of duty."
"What's more, I simply didn't have time to save him. Any doctor in this situation would have made the same choice as I did."
The person muttered weakly, "He survived such severe injuries; my father's injuries are much lighter than his."
