This cousin of his is quite something, but even as her cousin, he wouldnât dare to claim that sheâs a heartthrob who can attract any kind of man. This Dr. Cao is exemplary, handsome in appearance, already seeming to be a leader at such a young age, and obviously very capable. Could such a man really come secretly to tuck in the quilt for his cousin?
Gazing at her cousinâs expression, Cao Yong could tell that it seemed she hadnât mentioned a word to her family about her performance at school and hospital over the past four years, as her family seemed not to know her well at all.
The little junior sister is super low-key. Huang Zhilei adjusted his glasses, suspecting that the little junior sister might be playing the fool to catch the tiger at home. Or maybe not, as the little junior sister seems to keep a low profile in the hospital as well.
Standing at the door, Xie Wanying looked distantly at Senior Cao and her cousin talking, wanting to go over and listen to what they were discussing.
"Teacher Shim is here," said Doctor Yang beside her.
Xie Wanying had to turn back.
Several seniors were walking side by side in the corridor.
With Dr. Qiu here, Senior Tao would definitely come, so Senior Tao took the opportunity to ask Senior Brother Shim about Teacher Lu when encountering him.
"You should ask Director Zhang about these issues," Shim Youhuan said to the group from Guoxie, "Itâs true that Teacher Luâs surgery has been postponed. When it will be rescheduled is not up to me; I have to follow the leadershipâs decisions."
After listening, Tao Zhijie frowned slightly, feeling that having the family decide such matters for the patient wasnât a good thing.
Yu Xuexian, who was eavesdropping behind them, was even more straightforward, grabbing Shim Youhuan and questioning, "He decided, why is he the one deciding? Isnât the patient his mother? How could you let him decide?"
"I did not say it was Director Zhang who decided," Shim Youhuan said, "Itâs decided by our Director Liang."
Alright then. The other two realized they were being played and shot looks at him with an urge to strangle him: is this funny to you?
Shim Youhuan acted as if nothing had happened, quickened his pace to shake off the two, and called out to the little junior sister ahead: "Yingying."
"Senior Brother Shim." Xie Wanying responded.
"Did your phone ring?" Shim Youhuan reminded her as he walked past.
The surgery hadnât started yet, so she kept her phone in her pocket instead of the locker, just in case her cousinâs wife needed to reach her from outside. Hearing the ringtone, Xie Wanying pulled out her phone and stepped aside to answer, first glancing down to see who was calling.
It was an unfamiliar number, but definitely not from a stranger. With this premonition, she wasnât surprised to hear her Auntâs voice on the other end when she picked up. "Xie Wanying, where are you?" Zhou Ruoxue asked angrily.
"Itâs me." Xie Wanying replied calmly.
"You and your mother are absolutely shameless." Referring to the call with Sun Rongfang, Zhou Ruoxue was furious, so much that she seemed to be gasping on the other end, "Your mom said you were saving people, is this saving people? Youâre harming people. What kind of doctor are you trying to be."
It seemed her aunt had called her mom that morning trying to stop her, but ended up getting scolded by her mom instead. Of course, her mom, being a good person, must have sensed something was wrong and supported her daughter in saving lives.
"You should listen to my mom, not those other people," Xie Wanying sincerely advised her aunt again.
"Listen to her? Is your mom a doctor? Youâre not a doctor, I know youâre just a student," Zhou Ruoxue said.
She had long known that these people showed up at this crucial moment, inevitably stirred by something strange her other aunt, Zhou Ruomei, the doctor, had said.
