Chapter 596: [(596)] Care for her Chapter 596: [(596)] Care for her “It needs to be sorted out!” Fu Xinheng said after hearing the ins and outs of the situation.
“So you also know about the chaos at Beidou Third Hospital,” Chang Jiawei said as he hung up the phone and glanced at him. “Did Cui Shaofeng tell you?”
“He must have told you,” Fu Xinheng tossed the words back to him.
Suddenly, the room grew quiet, and several doctors finally realized that Wu Lixuan, who was not one of them, was there and had overheard.
As several pairs of eyes turned towards her, Wu Lixuan abruptly lifted her head, realizing she had accidentally overheard, and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t hear anything.”
“I also believe you won’t spread it around,” Chang Jiawei smiled at her meaningfully. “Aren’t you Xie Wanying’s friend?”
Indeed, her childhood friend had cried, claiming it was tears of joy, and now, hearing this matter, she understood her friend hadn’t lied. A wave of shock washed over Wu Lixuan. She had never really understood why her friend insisted on being a surgeon. She had heard others say that it was better for females to be physicians, it was easier to find a job, and it was less strenuous. So her friend insisted on being a surgeon for this reason: fear of not finding someone to operate on her own family and friends!
“I am her friend, and I will always be her friend,” Wu Lixuan said, and after speaking, she nodded slightly to all the doctors present and walked out of the office.
As she walked away, Wu Lixuan’s nose tingled slightly, reflecting her friend’s feelings.
“Did she look like she was crying?” Chang Jiawei muttered, peeking at the girl’s retreating figure from the doorway.
“When will you–” Fu Xinheng could barely tolerate him anymore and cursed.
“You really don’t know how to treat a lady with kindness,” Chang Jiawei shook his head at him.
“Are you now thinking of pursuing Xie Wanying’s friend?”
“What nonsense are you talking about. Didn’t I tell you? I’ll wait until she graduates to pursue her,” Chang Jiawei said grumpily.
Fu Xinheng had no more patience for him.
That evening, returning to the dorm, the senior sister was on the night shift and wasn’t there. Xie Wanying felt a bit of a headache, so she took an ibuprofen from the senior sister’s medicine box, ate one, and then went to sleep.
Waking up in the morning, she felt much better. Xie Wanying brushed her teeth, washed her face, took her mobile phone, and saw a text message: Yingying, did you sleep well last night?
It was from Senior Cao. Xie Wanying’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Senior Cao had somehow found out she had taken ibuprofen.
Impossible, right? Unless Senior Cao had some sort of clairvoyance, Xie Wanying thought to herself.
She replied to Senior Cao’s message: “Not bad.”
Beep beep, Senior Cao’s reply came back quickly: Did you take any medicine last night? I called you but you didn’t answer.
She was completely off the mark. How could she think of keeping it from Senior Cao at Guoxie? Holding her phone, Xie Wanying didn’t know what to do.
Kneel! She decided to confess proactively: Mm, I took an ibuprofen.
Cao Yong: You had a headache, did you? From now on, you’re not allowed to medicate yourself. If you have a headache, find me!
She could vaguely sense that Senior Cao on the other end wasn’t smiling anymore–actually, he seemed a bit angry. Xie Wanying began to wonder why. Ibuprofen is a common medication, often used for colds and menstrual pain. Though it has rare side effects, she had taken it before with no problems. In fact, many doctors self-prescribe for minor ailments.
Beep beep, another message from Senior Cao arrived: When I am sick, I go to other doctors, not self-prescribe. Doctors shouldn’t self-prescribe.
Scrolling through these consecutive messages from Senior Cao, an idea popped into Xie Wanying’s head: could it be that he had experienced some sort of incident related to doctors prescribing for themselves?
To reassure Senior Cao, Xie Wanying replied: I understand, I’ll come to you in the future.
On the other end, Cao Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving her final message.
