Xia Sanghuan walked back to her office and began to prepare for all kinds of emergency scenarios. Although her medicine was developed based on the patient's actual condition and her numerous experimental results, her personality didn't allow her to not make foolproof plans. During this time, she even locked the office door to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
At this crucial moment, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Time's up. Should we go find Dr. Xia?" One of the interns anxiously glanced at his watch.
"I'll go call her..."
Before He Wei could take a step, she saw the girl walking over with a folder under her arm.
"I'm here."
She bypassed the others and walked straight to the old man's bedside. His daughter was constantly asking questions.
"Dad, how do you feel now?"
The old man just shook his head, indicating that he didn't feel anything.
"He can't give an answer for now," Xia Sanghuan said behind the woman. "The patient's treatment isn't over yet. We need to conduct corresponding examinations to see how effective this medicine is for him."
"Let's start," she said, turning to the interns.
The old man got out of bed with their support. Since the girl had joined his treatment, his limbs had become stronger and more flexible than before, although he still couldn't walk completely on his own.
Thanks to the large number of people, the examination was quickly completed, and all that was left was to wait for the results. When the results came out, almost everyone crowded around. The data on it was extremely gratifying. Almost all the components and factors had returned to normal levels, and the mutated cells had started to necrotize and fall off.
Based on this situation, after three more doses of the medicine, the patient would be completely cured. That meant the illness that had troubled them for a whole year was finally cured by Xia Sanghuan in less than two months.
They still remembered what the girl had said at that time and understood why Vice - Dean Xiao had been so insistent on having her take over his position.
Just as they were still rejoicing, Xiao Song finally rushed back from out of town and got the latest examination report of the patient at the first time.
"...She can actually achieve this level," Xiao Song mused for a moment. "No wonder she's the most outstanding disciple of the Medical Monster."
He gave a bitter smile. "Looking at this, I shouldn't have claimed that she was my disciple back then. It should be me being her disciple." He joked self - deprecatingly.
"Elder Xiao is joking. I still have a lot to learn," Xia Sanghuan said calmly with a smile.
Xiao Song knew she was just giving him face, but he was very aware of the gap between himself and her.
"Since the patient's illness is no longer a problem, I won't come to the hospital starting tomorrow," Xia Sanghuan said. "After all, the medicine for Jing Zhan hasn't been developed yet. I'll continue to develop the subsequent medicine for the patient and deliver it within the specified time."
Looking at the calm and composed girl in front of him, Xiao Song couldn't help but sigh. The Medical Monster really had a worthy successor.
"Thank you so much for this period, Huanhuan."
"What's there to thank, Elder Xiao? I'm just doing what a doctor should do. Master once said that he had no other requirements for me, just that I shouldn't forget that a doctor must relieve the sufferings of the patients," she said neither over - deferential nor over - bearing, cutting off whatever else Vice - Dean Xiao might have said. She really didn't want to exchange pleasantries with others. This kind of useless communication gave her a headache.
"Then it's settled," Xiao Song understood her meaning and could only compromise and nod.
The two chatted about this illness for a few more sentences, and then Xia Sanghuan left his office. She hung her white coat on the hanger, picked up her bag, and took a last reluctant look at the office.
When she walked out of the hospital building, she found that it was already dark. She had been busy all day, not noticing the time at all, and had even forgotten to call Leng Chuanjin.
She sighed and walked down the steps. Not surprisingly, she saw the man waiting for her in the vast night. He was standing with his back to her, looking at the neon lights in the distance.
She didn't call out to him but quickly ran over. Before the man could react, she pounced on his back and hugged him tightly.
"Finally coming out?" Leng Chuanjin turned around, pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with smiles.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" the girl asked, lovingly stroking his face. In the past, she didn't dare to show her concern too openly. Now she could finally say these words to him without restraint.
"If it's for waiting for you, no matter how long it is, it's not long. But before seeing you, every second was torture. My heart was about to break," he said. In fact, like her, he had always been suppressing his feelings. Now that she was finally his, he was almost vengefully saying sweet nothings to her, pouring out his true feelings.
"What should we do then?" she asked, looking at him amusedly.
"You just need to kiss me actively," the man said, pushing his luck.
Seeing the girl's blushing face, he knew she would be embarrassed, so he decided not to tease her anymore. He loosened his arms around her and was about to turn around to open the car door for her when she suddenly grabbed his collar. Then a soft kiss landed on his cheek.
"Done," Xia Sanghuan said. After the kiss, she quickly bypassed him, opened the car door, and got in.
"Kiss and run?" the man got in the car and looked at the little rabbit that had run into the wolf's den by itself.
"Hurry up and drive. Why are you so talkative?" she said shyly, swatting away his outstretched hand.
Leng Chuanjin also knew that it was already late. If they delayed any longer, they would miss dinner. He stepped on the accelerator as she asked and took her home.
After dinner, Xia Sanghuan was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping. Leng Chuanjin took her back to her bedroom as usual and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead before closing the door.
Just as the girl was about to fall asleep on the bed in a daze, a phone call suddenly came in. She half - opened her eyes and answered it without looking at the name on the screen.
"Hey, Huanhuan."
"Third Sister?" Hearing Fu Youqing's voice, she instantly woke up.
Hearing her little sister's sleepy voice, Fu Youqing said apologetically, "Sorry, Huanhuan. I didn't expect you to go to bed so early. We've just returned to Yuntan. The plane has just landed." As she spoke, she glanced at Fu Moning who was gesturing to her beside her. "So are you getting used to staying at the Leng's? Do you want to come home? We can come pick you up right now."
Hearing her sister's words, the girl choked up. She was now completely awake, with no trace of sleepiness.
