527 My Family Needs Me
The next morning, Anna got up early because she had a meeting. Grabbing a few bites of breakfast, she then hurried to the hospital.
At the hospital, while Anna was still putting on her white coat, Nancy barged into her office, saying, "What took you so long to get here? The meeting is about to begin!"
Anna replied, "I need to put on my white coat first. What's this meeting about? | heard the dean is coming."
‘‘They are seeking volunteers. I've heard that the epidemic is. resuming in Fleosil, and the International Medical Association is requesting help from all over the world. The small countries surrounding it will suffer if they can't control the epidemic," Nancy spoke up right away.
Sighing, Nancy added, "The documents in your hands contain all of the information our hospital's doctors learned during their research trip to Fleosil. The situation is far worse than we had anticipated, so we decided to send twice as many teams as originally planned to assist.”
Frowning, Anna flipped through the files in her hand. She knew clearly what was going on in Fleosil because she had checked the situation before the hospital dispatched a team of doctors to investigate. And she was sure that none of the doctors in the room knew more about the epidemic than she was.
"Dr. Wright," the dean abruptly said while Anna was still busy browsing the file in her hand.
"Yes?" Anna asked, raising her head.
"You will be in charge of coordinating volunteer sign-ups. Anyone 526 My Family Needs Me — interested in participating should contact you. "
“all right, | get it," Nodding, Anna put away the file and was about to leave for the meeting room.
About an hour later, the meeting was over. After that, almost everyone left the meeting room quickly. Patrick, however, didn't leave as most of them did. Instead, he approached Anna and Nancy as they exited the conference room. "Good morning, Dr. Wright and Dr. Moore,” he said.
"Yes? What's wrong?" Nancy turned around and asked.
"| heard Dr. Wright was back from vacation. And | happened to have a few cases to ask her about,’ Patrick smiled and replied, “She won't be able to talk to me once she begins working later.’’
"Sorry, she's busy right now. You can ask other doctors for help," Nancy said, waving her hand
Patrick immediately asked, "Why? | heard the hospital is sending volunteers to Fleosil. Is that the purpose of today's meeting?"
Anna felt conflicted after hearing him say this. As she handed Patrick the file, she said, "If you have nothing else to do right now, you can sort this out and stick posters on the bulletin board for me. Don't forget to ask the interns how many of them would be willing to volunteer.”
‘Smiling joyfully, Patrick took the files and exclaimed, "Really? Yeah! Are you going there, Mrs. Wright?"
Hearing that, Anna instantly frowned tightly as she herself was also debating this issue then. On the one hand, she wanted to volunteer in Fleosil to help the suffering civilians there. On the other hand, she didn't want to be separated from her family for so long as she had promised them
she would try to spend more time with them. 526 My Family Needs Me
