"Doctor Xia!"
The patient's parents were sitting by the bedside. When they saw Xia Sanghuan, they quickly walked over.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The patient's mother grabbed her hand. Her red and swollen eyes still held unshed tears.
"It's okay, Auntie."
The girl gave a faint smile and patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.
She didn't pull her hand away immediately but let the woman hold it for a while.
The woman's words were intermittent and a bit slurred, but they were all expressions of gratitude.
Although the girl had heard such words many times from different people, she still patiently listened until the woman finished.
After the woman's emotions completely calmed down, she proposed to go and check on the patient.
The patient's parents quickly made way for her.
The girl walked to the bedside and placed her hand on the patient's wrist.
The patient slightly lifted his eyelids. When he saw it was her, he closed his eyes again, looking relieved.
Through the ventilator, Xia Sanghuan saw his lips move slightly, as if he wanted to say something to her.
"Don't be in a hurry."
She pressed the patient who was trying to turn over back onto the bed.
"Save your words until your body has recovered a bit more."
The girl didn't take the patient's pulse for long, but those waiting were extremely anxious.
"How is it?"
Xiao Song, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking when he saw her stand up from the chair.
"The patient's condition is better than I expected."
Hearing her words, Old Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
"As long as we continue with the treatment plan we initially set, the patient should recover soon."
"However, this disease will inevitably leave some sequelae. Please be mentally prepared, family members."
As she said this, she looked at the patient's parents.
The two quickly nodded.
"Even if there are sequelae, don't worry. The sequelae can be completely cured, but it will take some time."
After the girl finished explaining, she looked around the ward.
"Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll go back today."
"Huanhuan, go back and rest."
Xiao Song continued.
"I'll take care of the rest."
Before leaving, the girl didn't forget to say to the head nurse.
"Give the patient a full - body check tonight. I'll come for the results tomorrow morning."
Her side face looked serious and earnest, and even her voice carried a coldness that was rarely heard.
This made her look like a machine that never made mistakes.
However, as soon as she got in the car, Xia Sanghuan "revealed her true self".
"I'm so tired."
She let out a long sigh, then lay down on the car seat without any regard for her image, allowing Leng Chuanjin to fasten her seatbelt.
"Are you hungry?"
The man straightened up, then reached for the blanket in the back seat and covered the girl with it.
"I'm okay."
Maybe because she had slept for a while, the girl was extremely awake at this time.
"I plan to come to the hospital half an hour earlier tomorrow morning."
As she said this, she tapped a few times on her phone.
"I've already contacted the driver, so you don't need to take me there tomorrow."
She waved her phone at him.
"Why don't you let me take you?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the man's voice.
"Of course it's so that you can sleep a bit longer."
"No need."
Taking advantage of the red light, he turned his head and glanced at her.
"It's just half an hour. Your husband isn't so old that he can't get out of bed."
The girl was inexplicably tickled by this remark.
"Really?"
"Isn't the 'uncle' who's six years older than me supposed to start taking care of his health now?"
Leng Chuanjin didn't refute her on the spot. Instead, after they got home, he picked her up horizontally without hesitation.
Ignoring the looks of the butler and servants, he carried her straight to her bedroom.
When the girl was thrown onto the bed by the man, she was still in a daze.
It wasn't until Leng Chuanjin leaned over her.
"Wait, wait."
Xia Sanghuan quickly reached out and pressed against his shoulders.
"What, are you afraid of an 'uncle' who needs to take care of his health?"
"I'm wrong. I shouldn't have said that about you."
The girl quickly softened her tone and pleaded.
"Brother Chuanjin is strong, powerful, and can lift mountains. He can eat eight bowls of rice in one meal. Even I, a doctor, know that your physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people."
"Seeing that I've praised you so much, Brother, please be magnanimous and spare this little girl..."
Before she could finish her words, the man covered her mouth.
He kissed her fiercely and bit her lower lip revengefully.
"Say less."
He said helplessly.
"You're so sharp - tongued."
If he let her continue talking, he wasn't sure what he would do.
"Then get off me."
The girl punched his shoulder. She tried to turn over but found that she was firmly pinned down.
Leng Chuanjin kissed her for a while longer before reluctantly letting her go.
"I'll ask Uncle Wang to prepare some small dishes. You can have something to eat before going to sleep."
Before leaving, he carefully tidied up the girl's hair that he had messed up.
...
After the farce last night, Leng Chuanjin still took Xia Sanghuan to the hospital the next day.
When the head nurse saw her, she quickly handed over the freshly printed examination reports and even thoughtfully sorted them for her.
"Thank you."
The girl took the reports.
For some reason, she always felt that these nurses seemed a bit afraid of her.
Was it because she always had a straight face?
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help feeling a bit depressed.
"Huanhuan, have you finished reading the reports?"
Just as she was lowering her head and carefully checking the patient's various data, Old Xiao's voice came from behind.
"Almost."
She closed the folder.
"I'm going to see the patient now."
"I'll go with you."
When the two pushed open the door, they found that the patient was already able to sit up on the bed.
Although he still looked emaciated, at least he had the strength to sit steadily.
The patient's mother probably had stayed up all night taking care of him and now looked extremely sleepy.
The girl walked forward and told her to go back to the accompanying room to rest first. She and Old Xiao would take care of the rest.
"How do you feel now?"
The girl sat down on the chair beside the bed - not because she was lazy, but because this way she could look the patient in the eye and reduce his inner uneasiness.
"I'm much better."
"This doesn't hurt anymore."
As the patient said this, he pointed to his diseased organ, with a pale but sincere smile on his face.
"Thank you, Doctor Xia. My mother has already told me."
"If it weren't for you, I..."
Hearing his words, the girl's heart ached.
"Isn't there any way from the association?"
