"Sang Huan!"
Just as Xia Sang Huan was about to collapse onto the laboratory bench, Professor He quickly reached out and grabbed her.
"How are you? Do you want to go back and rest?"
As he spoke, he pushed the girl's chair further away from the laboratory bench.
"I'm fine... Professor, quickly turn off the fire!"
Looking at the bubbling potion, the girl instantly woke up.
Before she could get up, the professor had already extinguished the alcohol lamp for her.
The girl heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down on the chair.
"You don't look okay at all."
Professor He frowned at her.
"I'll call Leng Chuan Jin. You just wait here."
"Don't touch that potion anymore."
Before leaving, he looked back at her.
"Do you hear me?"
"Yes, yes."
While the professor went out to make the call, she walked up to the laboratory bench and poured the spoiled potion into the waste liquid bucket.
She sighed and washed all the used reagent bottles before putting them back in their original places.
By the time she finished, Professor He had returned from outside.
"Didn't I tell you not to touch that potion anymore?"
Seeing her still standing in front of the laboratory bench, he chided her gently.
"Leng Chuan Jin will be here in ten minutes. He asked you to wait for him at the entrance."
"Here, the leave slip."
Looking at the already filled - out and signed leave slip in her hand, the girl couldn't help but find it a bit funny.
She guessed that her second brother must have said something to the professor, which was why he had prepared the leave slip so quickly.
She knew that she couldn't out - argue them. Instead of struggling and then being taken home, it was better to go back directly.
This way, she could save some time and go to bed earlier.
While waiting for Leng Chuan Jin by the roadside, the girl had already listed the key points of the failed experiment.
Just as she was staring blankly at her notebook, a sudden honk sounded in front of her.
She looked up and saw the familiar car.
Then the car window was rolled down, revealing that extremely familiar face.
"Get in the car."
Leng Chuan Jin's expression was still mild, but she keenly sensed that his mood was not good.
Was it because of her?
Because she hadn't listened to him?
The girl opened the car door and got in.
Watching the man who habitually fastened her seat - belt, she thought it might not be.
There was an unusual silence between them, which made her even more worried.
"Did something happen?"
"Today."
Looking at the man's tense side - face, she couldn't help but ask.
He had been fine when they separated this morning.
"Nothing."
Leng Chuan Jin turned to look at her. Maybe sensing her uneasiness, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Since you're going home, just rest well and don't worry about anything, okay?"
After dropping her off at home, the man was about to return to the company.
He reached out and stroked her head as he always did.
"If you're hungry, just tell Uncle Wang. He'll prepare your favorite dishes."
"Okay."
The girl nodded obediently.
He always told her to pay attention to rest, but in fact, he didn't take good care of his own body.
It wasn't until the man's car had left the Leng family's residence and she could no longer see even the exhaust fumes that she reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
"Miss Xia, around when do you plan to wake up?"
"I'd like to prepare your meals according to the time so that you won't be hungry when you wake up."
Facing Uncle Wang's inquiry, the girl thought for a moment.
"About four hours later."
She nodded at him.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
"It's not a bother. It's my job."
The butler watched her go upstairs with a smiling face.
Although she had readily agreed to Leng Chuan Jin, the moment she lay down on the bed, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to a few days ago.
...
"Are you Miss Xia Sang Huan?"
When the girl arrived at the Medical Association, she was greeted by a young man.
The man walked up to her eagerly and extended his hand.
"I've heard so much about you."
His voice was gentle and bright, and his appearance was the kind that made people feel comfortable at first sight.
This greatly dispelled Xia Sang Huan's doubts.
It seemed that the association had put in a lot of effort to receive her.
The string that had been taut in her heart gradually relaxed.
"Hello."
She shook hands with the man.
Under his guidance, she took the exclusive elevator for guests and went straight to the office of the association's president.
Hearing the president's familiar voice, the girl gave an embarrassed smile.
Thankfully, the president didn't seem to mind her disrespectful attitude that day.
"I've already looked at the patients' current conditions."
"Miss Xia, you're truly the hope of our association, no, of the entire medical community."
Finally meeting the legendary Xia Sang Huan in person, the president could hardly conceal his excitement - the kind of excitement one feels when finding a treasure.
After hearing a few words of praise from the president, the girl politely interrupted him.
"President, this is a rare opportunity. Please take me directly to see the patients."
Hearing her reminder, the president quickly stopped talking.
"Xiao Yang, take her there."
He nodded at the young man who had brought the girl.
"I'll finish up the work at hand and come later."
"Okay."
The young man turned to look at Xia Sang Huan.
"Miss Xia, please follow me."
He dutifully led her to the inpatient department of the association.
Only then did the girl discover that there was actually a small hospital inside the Medical Association.
It only admitted patients that outside hospitals were helpless with.
Along the way, Xia Sang Huan was under the gazes of various people.
Most of them were professors and researchers within the association, but occasionally there were also patients who had been tortured by illness to the point of numbness.
It wasn't strange, though, because the first patient she had cured had told her that he would share her "glorious deeds" with his fellow patients.
She guessed that those people were the fellow patients of that patient.
The young man led her into a simple small office area.
"This is where everyone handles urgent information during the treatment period."
"Although it's not comprehensive, it's the best way to learn about the patients' conditions in the short term."
That was indeed the case.
The girl took the thick stack of medical records he handed her.
This method might not be perfect, but it was the most efficient one.
She frowned and immediately stood there to start flipping through the medical records.
Before she could read a few lines, a gentle force suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.
Caught off guard, the girl didn't react in time, and most of the medical records in her hand fell to the ground.
After a brief sense of weightlessness, she was pushed onto a soft chair.
