Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Emotional Closure Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Emotional Closure By now, Lin Dong and Bai Jue had already returned to the hotel.
Originally, since he was now the captain of the “Rose Princess,” he and Sister Bai Jue could have stayed on the cruise ship tonight.
However, they both had to work tomorrow.
Bai Jue felt the cruise ship was too far from the hospital, so they went back to the hotel they had been staying at before.
After they returned to the hotel, it was already very late.
Sister Bai Jue, dressed in her elegant attire, kept staring at Lin Dong.
“Sister Bai Jue, why are you looking at me like that?” Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask.
“Dongzi, tell me, are you actually Master Lin?” Bai Jue wasn’t stupid; she knew that the person behind Sister Hong was Lin Dong.
Everyone was saying Sister Hong was Master Lin’s favored person. From that point alone, she could easily deduce that Lin Dong was Master Lin.
Lin Dong smiled and nodded, “What Master Lin? I’ve never acknowledged that name; it’s just what others call me.”
“Giggle—” Bai Jue couldn’t help covering her mouth and chuckling, “That’s true, Master Lin sounds like some old man. That name really doesn’t suit you.”
Upon learning of Lin Dong’s identity as Master Lin, her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
Catching her gaze, Lin Dong instantly knew what she was thinking.
Sure enough, Sister Bai Jue licked her lips, approached Lin Dong, and then pushed him down forcefully.
“Master Lin, I want to have a sparring match with you to compare our martial arts skills.”
Lin Dong cleared his throat and said, “You’re no match for me.”
“Hmph, who says? Watch as I make you beg for mercy!”
“You’re welcome to try.”
“Then I will.”
After saying that, the two turned off the lights and began their “sparring.”
Early next morning, they went to work together.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Bai Jue heard many nurses gossiping nearby.
“Did you guys hear? That despicable Zhang Meilan from our hospital was dismissed!”
“Ah? She was dismissed, that’s great!”
“Why was she dismissed? Didn’t she have connections above? How did she get dismissed just like that?”
“Apparently, she offended some big shot. It was very bad; they say her mouth was torn apart. And now no hospital in Southern Capital dares to take her. Her family had an accident too; anyway, she’s in a terrible state now.”
“…”
Hearing the nurses’ discussions about Zhang Meilan, Bai Jue didn’t have much sympathy.
For someone like Zhang Meilan, one could only say she had it coming.
In the hospital, Lin Dong also overheard quite a bit of talk about last night’s events.
However, in the hospital, these were just ordinary doctors and nurses. They weren’t qualified to know too many details about such an occasion.
They only knew the gist of it!
“Last night’s fireworks were so beautiful. It’s said that the Capital City’s Young Master Lin Tiance was confessing his love to our Southern Capital’s General Ye Linglong.”
“Ah? Was he successful?”
“It seems like he was rejected. They say Ye Linglong already has someone she likes.”
“No way, she rejected Lin Tiance for another man? Who is that guy?”
“It seems to be Master Lin!”
“Master Lin? You mean the mysterious Master Lin who took down the wealthy Wang Family, as well as Principal Sun’s Sun Family?”
“Yes, that’s him! Lin Tiance has already vowed not to spare that Master Lin.”
“…”
Everyone was whispering, and Huang Hua, who had come from Jianghai to the Southern Capital Hospital for advanced study, was now listening intently to these rumors.
“Oh my god, this is really an earthquake. Ye Linglong actually rejected Lin Tiance, saying the person she likes is him…”
“Then in the future, won’t he be in direct opposition to Lin Tiance?”
Huang Hua’s face was filled with complex emotions. Who would have thought that the barefoot doctor from the countryside he had looked down upon would turn out to be such a formidable figure.
“What capability do I, Huang Hua, possess to be fortunate enough to encounter a big shot who would stand up to the first Tianjiao of Dragon Country, and moreover, I even dared to seek death in front of him…”
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became; breaking out in a cold sweat in broad daylight, his white gown soaked through.
At this moment, Lin Dong suddenly appeared.
He was startled, almost falling to the ground.
Hurriedly leaning against the wall, he stammered, “Dr… Dr. Lin, h-hello.”
Others might not know the identity of Master Lin, but he was well aware.
This fearsome god was the person standing before him. Now, seeing him, Huang Hua felt his legs uncontrollably weak and trembling.
Lin Dong frowned slightly and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Did you do something guilty again?”
“No, no, no, Dr. Lin, I’ve been very well-behaved lately. Definitely haven’t done any bad things,” Huang Hua hastily replied.
Lin Dong hmphed and didn’t bother with him anymore. Instead, he went to make his rounds in the sickroom.
Watching Lin Dong walk away, Huang Hua finally dared to wipe his sweat, only then realizing that his legs hadn’t stopped shaking.
It took several minutes for him to return to normal.
After making his rounds, Lin Dong encountered Qiao Bing.
But he saw that Qiao Bing’s face was very ugly, as white as a sheet with no color in her eyes, her movements like a walking corpse, utterly devoid of emotion.
A female doctor said to Lin Dong, “Dr. Lin Dong, since you and Director Qiao get along, ask her if she is sick.”
“Since yesterday, she’s been like this, not speaking more than three words, and whatever she does, it’s as if she’s lost her soul, no expression on her face… the patients have started to complain about her!”
On hearing this, Lin Dong’s heart sank.
Others may not know what was going on, but Lin Dong knew all too well.
This was her strange disease acting up again, worsening.
Now, it had gone from ‘Androphobia’ to ‘Emotional Closure Syndrome.’ If this continues, she will be in grave danger and may not live much longer…
