Chapter 1757: No Obligation
“Your families have been poisoned, and you are all victims too. The hospital has the obligation to treat those who have been poisoned for free. However, Miss Nangong Nuannuan is not a doctor. She did not and does not have any responsibility or obligation to the previous patient or to your families.
“She is willing to use the medicine that she developed to save your families. That is kindness. It was her right to refuse to give it up at first. There was no right way to do things. To be fair, if this was happening to any of you, and it was one of you who had developed this drug while not being a doctor and not being able to medically research it, so you were not sure if it was safe, would you still take on such a large responsibility of giving it out to the public? If someone dies, whose fault will it be?”
The president’s words silenced the few people who were chattering in the crowd. The family members of the patients knew what was at stake, but since this was related to the life and death of their own family members, they could not care less about others.
However, now that Nangong Nuannuan had started saving people, everyone regained their rationality.
“That’s why I was a little disappointed when I heard all of you scolding Nangong Nuannuan and even the Nangong family. As your president and the spokesperson of the people, I was a little let down.”
The patient’s family members, “…”
Alright, they had been wrong.
“I hope that all my people can have faith. Faith is a kind of hope. It is faith that allows us to see the light even when we’re in the dark, at a bad point in our lives, or at a loss. Faith is the hope that remains even when you are suffering from endless setbacks. It is with faith that one can still be merciful and grateful in the toughest times.
“I hope that my people can be wise, too. They will be calm and relaxed when they encounter unexpected things. They will be able to keep their eyes and ears open. Not only will they have the ability to take in information, but they will also have the ability to filter useless or manipulated information out. They will also be able to also control their own emotions.
“Finally, I hope that my people can trust the president they voted for and the military base. Justice will eventually prevail over evil. However, when evil comes, even if we do not have theability to avoid it, I hope nobody will be led by the nose by the evil forces in the shadows.”
The family members of the patients, “…”
Suddenly, they felt like something was wrong.
It felt like they really had been used as weapons in some social experiment, especially in the case of Nangong Nuannuan.
There had been a mastermind behind everything last time. This time, the mastermind was being so heavy-handed that they were impossible to ignore.
Last time, most of them had looked down on the family members of the patients online. This time, it was their turn to be ridiculed.
The president’s last sentence reminded everyone below that…
“Nangong Nuannuan was the one who developed the antidote. She never said that she wouldn’t save them. She also never said that she would sell the medicine at a high price. So, you guys made such a big ruckus around the military hospital and caused such a big commotion over nothing. You even made it onto the international news. Who does this help?”
This sentence made all the family members of the patients blush.
