Chapter 208: Chapter 200 Villainous Face
Xiao Lin blurted out without thinking, and what he meant wasn’t directed at the nurse, but his tone was off. By the time he realized he had misspoken, it was too late. The nurse, feeling she had kindly come over to remind him, not only didn’t receive a thank you but was met with such harsh words? Her face changed instantly, and she turned away.
Even the smallest nurse has self-respect, especially when she means well for someone else, but doesn’t receive the respect she deserves and even gets a retort. Naturally, the anger in her heart rose immediately. "I’m kindly reminding you, if you don’t appreciate it, fine, but do you have to speak so coldly?"
Xiao Lin is a good person, someone who corrects mistakes when he realizes them. So, as the nurse had just taken a step to turn away, he grabbed her wrist, albeit through the clothes.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean you," Xiao Lin rarely apologized to a stranger girl. Maybe because he had spent a long time with Xia Xue, he understood women’s thoughts more. In the past, even if he knew he had said something wrong, he would still act indifferently, but that would likely make the girl hold a grudge for quite some time, even though it wasn’t really his problem.
The nurse noticed her hand was grabbed, her face turned slightly red. She wanted to struggle but couldn’t break free. She could only whisper with a red face and a bit of anger, "Let me go, you... rogue!"
Xiao Lin smiled wryly. How did he become a rogue? Women’s thoughts are indeed unpredictable. But Xiao Lin could tell, although the nurse still had complaints, his move was indeed effective, and he said to himself, "Thank you, I’ll treat you to a meal sometime."
"Let go quickly, everyone’s watching!" The nurse heard Xiao Lin coaxing her in such a gentle voice, and the little bit of resentment she had just flew out of the window. How could she still hold a grudge against herself? Furthermore, ever since she saw Xiao Lin for the first time, she was mesmerized by his handsomeness and professionalism. You know, for the past two days, this nurse had been accompanying another slightly older nurse in Niu Niu’s mom’s ward, so she knew a little more about Xiao Lin than others. Plus, Xiao Lin’s handsome appearance naturally attracted these young nurses who haven’t been working long.
Compared to the nurse, Xiao Lin was even more bashful. Hearing what the nurse said, he realized he had done something inappropriate again. Many patients and nurses were watching them, and his face blushed as he quickly let go of the nurse’s hand and softly said, "I’m sorry, I was just afraid you wouldn’t listen to my explanation. Thank you for the reminder!"
The nurse snorted, but her heart was pounding. She originally had a slight crush on handsome guys like Xiao Lin, let alone Xiao Lin now, gently apologizing in a soft voice, which was very pleasing to her heart. However, due to a girl’s modesty, she couldn’t show it.
"Be careful when you go in, it’s best to notify Director Chen Feng!" the nurse said the last sentence with deep concern before stepping into the hallway office. Even Xiao Lin, who usually had low emotional intelligence, noticed that the nurse seemed to have affections for him. He touched his nose helplessly and had to pretend not to notice as he walked away.
But Xiao Lin did take the nurse’s words seriously. Although he didn’t care about these trivial matters, if someone tried to obstruct him from doing acupuncture for Niu Niu’s mom, it would be quite troublesome. So, when he turned the corner, after thinking for a moment, he dialed Chen Feng’s phone number.
Chen Feng, being the emergency department director at the First Affiliated Hospital of Yan University, was almost always busy. He was currently entertaining at a hotel in Yanjing. Technically, during meal periods, it was rare for someone to call, but after seeing the phone number, he apologized to the people at the table and stepped out to answer the call.
If it had been previously, and Xiao Lin had called, Chen Feng would have hung up immediately and called back after the meal. But after last night’s incident at the Xia family, although he was outside and not qualified to go inside, he later learned about the things that happened in Xia’s living room and respected Xiao Lin even more.
"Dr. Xiao, have you eaten?" Chen Feng said with a very polite tone.
"Yes, Director Chen, there’s a little problem at the hospital regarding Niu Niu’s mom. I wonder if you have time to come over now?" Xiao Lin, not one to beat around the bush, spoke directly.
"Okay, I’ll be right there!" Chen Feng didn’t ask what the issue was; he considered it his privilege to be of help to others. As for the dinner, fortunately, tonight it was only with people from counterpart units, colleagues of similar rank, with no high-level leaders present, so it was easy to speak.
Of course, Chen Feng couldn’t just hang up the phone and leave immediately. He said a few polite words to the people present, took a few penalty drinks, chatted a bit more, and when they saw he was determined to go, they naturally didn’t try to stop him.
After Xiao Lin hung up, he didn’t wait for Chen Feng to come over before going in, but directly went towards the ward.
Looking through the small window by the door, the small living room was almost filled with doctors and nurses from this floor. The dedicated nurse for the VIP ward was squeezed to the door, and Xiao Lin saw her first.
Xiao Lin pushed the door slightly, and the nurse standing at the door made way a little, then turned her head. Seeing Xiao Lin about to come in from the window, she quickly blocked the doorway, closed the door, and said, "Why are you here now? Didn’t Xiao Nan tell you?"
The nurse’s name was Li Jing. Over the past few days, she had been taking care of this VIP ward and had come to understand why this middle-aged woman, full of ailments, was allowed to stay. She was moved by the kindness of Xiao Lin and Xia Xue, and took meticulous care of Niu Niu’s mother with all her heart.
Concerning Dean Liang Tianze’s temper, Li Jing had heard about it, and had just witnessed his rather unpleasant demeanor. When Xiao Lin bumped into him at this moment, who knew what might happen?
Xiao Lin felt warmed by the concern of these two little nurses. He smiled slightly and said, "It’s okay, today is a very important day. Whether Niu Niu’s mother can fully recover depends on tonight!" Now was the peak time for the effect of the Nine Dragons Medicinal Paste. Ordinarily, if it were a healthier person, applying this paste would allow the body to absorb naturally, without needing Xiao Lin to use the Divine Needle to stimulate the effect. But Niu Niu’s mother’s body was almost necrotic, incapable of automatic absorption.
"But Dean Liang is inside now, and he hates others interfering with his patients!" Li Jing said, "Why don’t you wait until Dean Liang leaves before going in? There’s no rush for a little while, right?"
"I would like to, but that’s impossible. How long has Dean Liang been inside? Has he administered any drugs or given any infusions?" Xiao Lin frowned, truly worried that if Dean Liang saw Niu Niu’s mother’s condition as worse than a couple of days ago and recklessly used drugs, all their efforts would’ve been in vain. In severe cases, Niu Niu’s mother would have no chance of recovery.
Meanwhile, inside the ward, after asking Niu Niu’s mother some questions, Liang Tianze picked up the medical record and prescription list from the bedside, browsed through them, furrowed his brow, and said in a deep voice, "Who changed out these medicines? Xiao Tang, what’s going on here? Didn’t I instruct you before? No wonder the heart rate and blood pressure are declining, and the transaminase levels are rising. The other data are unstable as well. At this rate, it’s uncertain if this patient will make it through the night!"
"This..." Just as Tang Jun began to speak, Liang Tianze abruptly cut him off, saying, "Where’s the nurse for this ward? Tell her to immediately administer the medication and infusions according to the original dosage!"
After reviewing everything, Liang Tianze didn’t leave immediately. Judging by his demeanor, he intended to remain until Niu Niu’s mother’s health indicators improved. In terms of responsibility, Liang Tianze was quite accountable.
"I’ll go out and tell her to get the drugs from the pharmacy!" Tang Jun said, feigning nervousness, though he felt quite pleased inside.
Li Jing felt caught in a dilemma seeing Xiao Lin speak so gravely, but Xiao Lin smiled and said, "It’s okay, thank you!" Then he pushed open the door. Just then, Tang Jun came out of the inner ward, catching sight of Xiao Lin entering, barely able to suppress the smile on his face. Who would’ve thought this kid would show up now? Let’s see if Chen Feng could still cover for you now?
Outside, many of the nurses and doctors recognized Xiao Lin. At this moment, every pair of eyes was on him. Some worried for him, while others were just wanting to watch the drama unfold.
"Dean Liang is inside. You’re here just in time to explain to him!" Tang Jun was practically gloating inside. Not even Chen Feng could stop Dean Liang from erupting.
"Alright!" Xiao Lin responded with composed calmness and then asked, "Dean Liang hasn’t given the patient any medication or infusions yet, right?"
Tang Jun, however, ignored Xiao Lin and turned to Li Jing standing at the door: "Nurse Li, Dean Liang instructed you to immediately fetch the medication prescribed two days ago from the pharmacy. Haven’t you noticed today that all the patient’s data are declining?"
Li Jing looked at Xiao Lin with some difficulty. Last night, with Director Chen Feng in charge, she had no problem carrying out her duties. But now that Dean Liang was here, she couldn’t go against his instructions. Yet, Xiao Lin had also said that tonight was critical for Niu Niu’s mother.
"You go fetch the medication first. I’ll communicate with Dean Liang!" Xiao Lin assured Li Jing, who nodded, turned, and walked out. Whether she would go to fetch the medication was another story.
Nurses and doctors all looked at Xiao Lin as if they were watching a spectacle. Others might not know of Dean Liang’s authority, but they certainly did. This young man was likely about to hit a wall.
However, Xiao Lin remained composed as he opened the ward door and walked in! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at . Your support is my greatest motivation.)
