Chapter 668: [668] Appeal to Emotion Chapter 668: [668] Appeal to Emotion The hospital room doorway was already surrounded by onlookers, who hurried to make way for her as she emerged.
The crowd discussed her retreating figure animatedly:
“Isn’t that Dr. Xie? People from General Surgery Department Two say she speaks gently, acts gently, has a gentle personality; she’s gentle through and through.”
The extremely gentle female doctor had suddenly lost her temper, shocking everyone who saw it.
“Was she angry just now?”
“Is that what you call being angry?” someone questioned doubtfuly.
A person who is angry doesn’t act like that. An angry person rambles nonsensically.
What Xie Wanying had just said was logical and organized, leaving the impression amongst the onlookers that it seemed like a boss was disciplining someone.
The “boss” had made an impact with the scolding.
“I’ll eat.” Inside the hospital room, Zhao Zhaowei changed his tune.
Mrs. Zhao, upon hearing this, went to bring her son his meal.
“I’ll do it myself.” Zhao Zhaowei told his mother to step back and got out of bed to eat on his own.
Seeing her son , Mrs. Zhao turned to the other doctors in the room: was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Cao Yong, with a serious expression but a gentle dimple at the corner of his mouth, nodded affirmatively at Mrs. Zhao: it was a good thing.
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Tao Zhijie next.
Tao Zhijie, with his gentle and refined voice, reassured the family: “You and he don’t need to worry any longer. We should be adjusting his treatment plan today.”
With these words, Mrs. Zhao clutched her chest as if swallowing a sedative.
Zhao Zhaowei, with his head down eating breakfast, stopped responding to the Buddha-like words behind him. After all, he was willing to eat not because of this Buddha, but because his classmate was right; he couldn’t let his mother worry.
Glancing at his watch, Cao Yong left the hospital room, deciding to look for her before heading back to his department. Like everyone else, he had never seen her this angry before, which made him slightly worried.
In the doctor’s office, Xie Wanying worked quickly to pulled out her classmate’s medical records to review them, removed the ballpoint pen from her pocket, and began rapidly jotting down key points about the classmate’s condition in a notebook.
Cao Yong, by the door with one hand in his pants pocket, watched her with quiet, smiling eyes as she focused on writing, a hint of compassion flickering in his gaze.
He could feel that she had expressed genuine emotion while speaking in the hospital room. Her sincerity touched others deeply and naturally evoked a strong sense of empathy; both Mrs. Zhao and her son had been moved by her words.
He and Tao Zhijie had refrained from interrupting, knowing only she could speak so movingly. Perhaps because she was a woman herself, she understood the various difficulties and hardships of motherhood and could address them with empathy. As men who had studied about women in medical books, they were still different in physiological structure and could not personally experience the struggles of women.
For instance, they had never experienced the particular sensation of a woman’s menstrual cramps. Even if they expressed understanding, it was hard for them to truly connect with a woman’s emotional recognition.
The phone dutifully rang, and Cao Yong reluctantly pulled his gaze away from her, answering the call while heading back to his own department: “Yes, I’m in Hepatobiliary Surgery, heading back now.”
The caller was Junior Huang Zhilei, who heard the words “Hepatobiliary Surgery” and asked his senior, “Junior sister went to Hepatobiliary Surgery for an internship today. Senior Cao, have you seen junior sister?”
“You mean Yingying? Yes.” Cao Yong said.
Yes, so, listening to Senior Cao’s voice on the phone, it seemed quite happy. Huang Zhilei, a natural matchmaker, was thrilled, silently clenching his fist in excitement.
