(186) Family & Career
This achievement is by no means accidental, it comes entirely from Jian Ning's hard work and intentions.
Her patient training and reasonable management of nurses, as well as meticulous care for the wounded and sick, better disinfection process, more efficient shift system, etc...... It was all these practical changes that contributed to the new low mortality rate.
Soon, the Elector of the Empire, Marshal Dali Einfurt, who was still commanding operations at the front, learned through the newspaper that his wife had gone to the front, became a head nurse, and became a hero.
He immediately wrote an urgent letter to Jane, which was delivered by the herald day and night, in which DalΓ congratulated his wife on her great achievement, and at the same time expressed his dissatisfaction.
At the end of the letter, DalΓ writes:
"My dear, since we got married, we have never quarreled, even if there is a small difference of opinion, I have made concessions,
But this time I'll have to criticize you.
My dear Jane, you have to figure out who you are, I know you're young and pretty, but you're already a mother,
You have to always remember to be responsible,
How can you ruthlessly leave our lovely son behind and go to the front alone?
To be honest, when I saw the news in the newspaper, I was simply,
I lost my mind, lost my temper in the headquarters in front of His Majesty the Emperor, kicked and broke the garbage can, and broke the new teaglass, and they thought I was crazy and almost sent me to the psychiatrist.
Don't get me wrong, I'm angry about it, but I've never hated you, my dear, and it's because I love you!
I have told you many times that there is no safe place on the battlefield, even the medical post in the rear will be attacked or shelled, and I have lost too many loved ones...... Friend......
If you lose again...... God knows, how William and I are going to live! Can you bear to leave our father and son alone?
Oh my God, I shudder at the thought of this.
On the battlefield, even in the face of thousands of enemy troops, even in the face of overwhelming artillery fire, I never showed timidity.
If you ever want to ask me what scares me the most in this world, it's the loss of you, my forever dear little sister!
Promise me, Janine, to quit this dangerous job and return to Einfoot Manor and go home to accompany our son, I can't give him more company as a father, I hope you can make up for it.
I don't want you to stay in this terrible war zone, even a second more would make me uneasy, it's too dangerous here, and people are dying every minute.
You are already a national heroine, you have achieved fame, and now your mission is to go back and be a good wife and mother.
Promise me, my dear, to hurry home! When I finish the battle, I will ask Your Majesty for a long vacation to spend more time with your mother and son.
- The man who loves you the most in the world, Dali Einfurt,
July 30, 1710, written at the front command. β
Janine was in the office, taking advantage of the rare break to read the letter.
After reading it, she folded the letter, tears hung on her eyelashes, and her heart was full of self-reproach.
What her husband said was not wrong at all, she joined the army quietly and privately, and this wayward behavior was undoubtedly an irresponsible betrayal of the family and her children.
And now that the work of Paradise Town is on the right track, even if he resigns, there will be no mistakes in his successor taking over.
She thought about this matter in her heart, and she was busy until this night, and Jian Ning had already made up her mind, and when the wounded person at hand was in stable condition, she would submit her resignation to the headquarters.
That night, she dreamed of her son William Jr., dreamed that he was playing in the yard, calling for his mother, and in her hazy sleep, a voice came into her dream:
"Ms. Nurse Manager, Ms. Nurse Manager...... Wake up. β
Janening lifted her heavy eyelids, and a young nurse stood beside the bed, squinting and asking in a daze, "Oh? Is it Ladia, a trainee nurse? What are you waking me up for? β
"I'm sorry, Madam Nurse, but the condition of a seriously injured man with both legs amputated has deteriorated, and the doctors are helpless, saying that he will not survive tonight."
Jian Ning gradually came to her senses and remembered who the other party was talking about: "Oh? You're talking about the seriously wounded man on the first floor of Building 7? The one that was salvaged yesterday? β
"You have a good memory, yes, it's the man, he said...... Before I died, I wanted to see you, saying that I wanted to talk to you about something important. β
Jian Ning rubbed her eyes and massaged her temples, trying to wake up as soon as possible: "Let's go." β
With that, she dragged her tired body out of bed, staggered to the hanger, and the trainee nurse helped her put on a white coat and hat, and then the two left the dormitory and walked towards Inpatient Building 7.
When entering the ward, Janine saw the backs of several military doctors, one of whom was familiar, it was Medical Officer Dort.
The medics bowed to the bed in unison, then pulled up the sheets to cover the wounded soldiers' faces.
"What's going on? Am I late? Janine asked.
"He just passed away, and we've done our best." Medical Officer Dott replied.
Jian Ning opened the sheets, looked at the young face, and sighed: "Hey, he is so young, he looks like a child, I heard that he wanted to see me, so I hurried here, but I didn't expect it to be late...... I'm sorry, little warrior, I didn't get to see you one last time......" she said, covering the deceased's face with the sheet again.
After a while, two soldiers brought canvas body bags, loaded the body in, labeled it, and put it on a cart to wait for burial the next morning.
The doctors yawned and left the room, leaving only Dr. Dott and Jane Ning in the room.
"Don't be a psychological burden, Janen," Medical Officer Dott advised, "Your nursing work has saved hundreds of lives, it's great, but there will always be something that can't be saved, and we doctors and nurses have done our best, and we don't need to feel guilty about it." β
"But...... The trainee nurse told me just now that the wounded soldier had something to say to me. β
"Head nurse, you should know that the patients here like to pay attention to you, after all, everyone has a love for beauty, and our doctors can't help but take a few more looks, the difference is that the wounded don't know your married status, and it is very likely that they will express their hearts to you before they die."
"Yes, I've received more than 20 love letters these days, and there are always people who confess to me when they're seriously ill, but I can't bear to tell them the truth,
I will give them a kiss, and may they go to heaven with hope, O forgiving and merciful God, and may these lads suffer less. Janine drew a cross on her chest and said sadly.
