"Dr. Ford, we're willing to take care of this woman and her daughter, we really are! Please don't be angry. We were wrong just now. We're all pregnant; we should be helping each other." Seeing Evelyn Ford's expression darken, several of the pregnant women nearby scrambled to their feet to apologize.
The other pregnant women also looked at Evelyn Ford in a panic. Many of them had lost their families and husbands, and life was already difficult for them. If they were kicked off the truck, there was no way they could make it to Khoros on foot. For the weaker ones, their unborn babies might not last even two days of walking.
The few pregnant women who had just been acting aloof, as if it had nothing to do with them, now panicked as well. In their minds, they saw doctors as service personnel. They believed doctors, like police and soldiers, were supposed to selflessly dedicate themselves to the people, working like slaves without food or drink and never uttering a single complaint.
