The situation wasn't looking good for Wenjing. Gu Tong had already gone to treat the patients, making her seem unreasonable.
"Cousin, believe me, she really is..."
"All the doctors are busy, and you have nothing to do?" Li Yan's dark eyes hid an endless sharpness, and his voice was cold and devoid of emotion.
Wenjing wanted to explain, but before she could speak, Li Yan turned away and left. Her eyes reddened with frustration, but she felt even more ashamed.
"Wenjing, don't cry, Earl Li is in a bad mood, he definitely didn't mean to lash out at you..." Cheng Juan, the sycophant, ran over to comfort her, saying, "It's all Gu Tong's fault, it's like she's become a different person, possessed or something. Oh, Wenjing, don't cry, did I say something wrong..."
A door separated all the commotion, and everything happening in the corridor was now unrelated to Gu Tong.
Gu Tong surveyed the ward, but frowned, becoming somewhat annoyed.
Ward 201 wasn't large, with six beds tightly positioned next to each other, and over a dozen trainees squeezed onto them. Their injuries were severe, yet not a single responsible doctor was around.
If this delay continues, they might all end up in the third-floor intensive care unit.
Gu Tong, being a doctor, naturally couldn't let this happen. She walked to the nearest hospital bed, where an eighteen-year-old trainee lay. His right leg hung off the edge, twisted at an odd angle, with uneven scars exposed on the skin.
"Does it hurt?" Gu Tong reached out to touch his injured leg.
Gu Tong was very beautiful, with a classic oval face and eyes as black as jewels. Her thin lips were as delicate as roses, looking like an Angel in White descended to earth.
"No, it doesn't hurt..." The trainee was dumbstruck, biting his lip white, yet still displaying stubborn resilience.
Gu Tong paused, gaining an initial understanding of Li Yan's trainees. Like trainer, like trainee, they were as blockheaded as that ice-cold Li Yan. She said, "Your knee is dislocated and needs repositioning, it might hurt during the procedure, bite on a towel."
"No, no need, Doctor, I can endure..." The trainee was sweating from the pain, yet still showed the toughness of a steel trainee.
"Repositioning is painful, you might accidentally bite your tongue," Gu Tong explained patiently.
Knee dislocation isn't a minor issue; it could seriously impact walking in the future. They're trainees, and a pair of legs is crucial, plus, repositioning needs to be done at the optimal time; it can't be delayed.
"No, no need, Earl Li always said that trainees have to be strong, so..."
Gu Tong's anger flared, and she grabbed the pillow towel, rudely stuffing it in the trainee's mouth, saying, "In the squad, you listen to your Earl Li, but in the hospital, you listen to me, Doctor Gu. Bite on it!"
"Mm, mm!" The trainee, with the towel stuffed in his mouth, looked at Gu Tong dumbly.
Just a moment ago, she was a gentle Angel in White, how did she turn into a rough demon in the next second...
Even though Gu Tong's anger was hard to quell, her hands didn't slow down. She held the trainee's leg and skillfully performed the repositioning treatment.
So young, yet already learning from that ice block Li Yan. Instead of the good, learning the bad habits so quickly!
"Mm, mm, mm!" Even with the towel in his mouth, the trainee let out screams like a slaughtered pig.
Someone in a subordinate position was leaning on the glass window of the ward, nervously looking at Earl Li's stern, icy face. He cleared his throat, saying, "That trainee must weigh two hundred pounds, yet her technique was so deft... Madam really has... great strength..."
