Luo Jingyi couldn't help cursing the vehicle which was making a turn at the curb. She swore if she'd seen who the driver was, she's going to smack the face.
"Good afternoon Dr. Luo. Bad weather, isn't it?" The guard greeted as he handed the towel to her.
Jingyi took it and wiped the water stains on her face and hair.
"Good afternoon Mr. Sun. Thanks for the towel." Jingyi called him Mr. Sun because he wears this smile on his face. He always reminded her of her family's steward. Although they don't look the same they have this happy and sunny countenance which was very infectious.
"No problem Dr. Luo. Would you like coffee?"
"Sure. Give a cup to that man in that corner too, will you?" She pointed at the beggar who was taking shelter at the corner. The beggar appeared to be shivering.
"I can drive him away if you like." The guard suggested.
"No, as long as he doesn't disrupt anyone, let him stay."
Mr. Sun nodded. At the same time, wondered why everyone says Dr. Luo was wicked as a witch but she always takes time to talk to lowly people like him. Even the beggars were treated with respect.
.....
As soon as Jingyi arrived at her office, she changed her clothes and grabbed the hairdryer.
Ten minutes later, she came out and headed to the ICU to start her rounds. Dr. Lin joined her.
"How is patient LD85's hemoglobin and hematocrit levels?"Jingyi asked about a 52-year-old man who was brought in complaining of abdominal pain. The hospital uses 2 alphabets each day to label the patients. LD was the code 2 days ago and the old man was patient #85. Jingyi proposed this so that it would be easier to track patients. Things like, when did the patient arrive at the hospital, who were the doctors on duty and etc. At the same time, with the number of patients getting in and out of the emergency room, remembering all their names would be difficult.
"They are 7.6 g/dl and 22.1% respectively. According to his CT, there's a moderate amount of hemoperitoneum due to gastric artery rupture." Dr. Lin reported as she matched her strides.
"Schedule him for angioembolization. Send Dr. He to observe and let her write a case report."
Dr. Lin nodded.
"How's Yun Jian?"
"He's awake now."
"Is he? That's a surprise."
Dr. Lin was also astonished when the nurses informed her. Because it normally takes 24 - 72 hours before patients like him would wake up after surgery.
Luo Jingyi found Yun Jian's parents in the room. His father was sitting next to the bed, grasping the hand as if it was his lifeline while his mother was standing on the sides with crossed arms.
Jingyi ambled closer and put on a gentle smile on her face.
"I'm Dr. Luo. How do you feel?" Jingyi asked as she checked for discoloration and swelling on his leg. She lifted the blanket on him.
"In pain," he said shyly. The teenager felt embarrassed because he felt exposed in front of the beautiful doctor.
"The pain is normal for now. Can you try to move your leg?" The teenager followed and noting his movements were normal, Jingyi reminded him to let the nurses know if he suddenly feels discomfort in his leg.
"Put him in low molecular weight heparin therapy. Continue monitoring him. If everything is normal, move him to the normal ward later."
Dr. Lin made a note of the instructions.
"Doctor, thank you." It was Yun Jian who tried to speak.
"Oh, you should thank your lucky stars."
Suddenly, there was an upward arc on his face. It was a smile that can make any young maiden's heart somersault. "Then doctor, thank you. Because you are my lucky star."
Outside Dr. Lin observed closely Dr. Luo's expression. She thought the other doctor would be unhappy. Instead, Dr. Luo was smiling.
The senior resident heard her exclaim, "He's still a kid but he knows how to flirt."
…..
Meanwhile, Grandma Shen and Yun Jinghan were on their way to Shanghai. In the private jet, Yun Jinghan was working on his computer while his grandma was in another settee watching to distract herself. From time to time, she would look at her watch. She looked very agitated.
Yun Jinghan retracted his gaze on her and focused on the documents he was reviewing. It was a 2-hour flight but he didn't want to waste any minute doing nothing.
"Boss, look at this." Amy handed the tablet to him.
Yun Jinghan skimmed over the report.
"Find out who the old man sold his shares to. "
"Copy that boss. " Two fingers were placed on her forehead in a form of salute.
The old man he was referring to was Chen Hao. Yesterday, his grandson, Chen Guozhi was arrested for multiple murder charges. At the same time, the evidence against Prime Minister Chen was submitted to the court. Hence, both father and son's cases were all being reported by the media.
Yun Jinghan had been eyeing to acquire GM General Hospital and he was flying to Shanghai next week to discuss his proposition. However, this happened. He dipped into the healthcare industry 2 years ago. He started acquiring hospitals that were existing and operational instead of starting one. From the background check his people conducted, he was aware of Minister Chen's illegal dealings, but not about Chen Guozhi's.
Both of them got away for a long time, why did pieces of evidence suddenly come to light?
How did the police acquire these shreds of evidence?
He can smell something odd in it.
Or was someone behind all of this?
..
The moment Yun Jinghan stepped out of the car, a man in a black suit put an umbrella over his head. Another one protected his grandmother.
At the entrance, Dr. Zhao stood there to welcome them. As soon as he heard that Chairman Shen of Shen Food Corporation was coming, he left the meeting room in haste.
He was panting when he spoke, "I'm sorry Chairman Shen. I was in the OR when I heard of you coming."
Yun Jinghan brows furrowed when he saw the man touch his grandmother's hand. He asked, "Who are you?"
Dr. Zhao looked at the handsome man beside Chairman Shen. The man reminded Dr. Zhao of someone but unsure about it. He stared at him but Dr. Zhao retracted his gaze because he gives off a powerful vibe. He seemed to be a person you couldn't trifle with.
"I'm Dr. Zhao, Chief of Surgery in this hospital."
"Were you the one who operated on my great-grandson?"
"No, but—"
"Then move aside. Show me his room." Chairman Shen could sense his ill intent. She wouldn't have revived Shen Food Corporation and bring it to unprecedented heights without her ability to read people's intentions.
Although the Chief felt disappointed, he politely ushered them to where Yun Jian was move to 20 minutes ago.
As soon as the old woman entered, she ran to the teenager's side and asked, " What happened to my most handsome great-grandson?"
"It was nothing grandma."
"What nothing?! You almost died. If you died before me, your grandpa will rise from the graves and scares me to death." she cried.
The exaggeration made the siblings look at each other.
Yun Jinghan ambled closer to his sister. "Has the gunman been arrested?"
Yun Yi shook her head. Worry was all over her face.
"I'll let my people look for him. Don't worry about it," he assured her. Although their age gap was 10 years, they were very close. They look after each other.
Suddenly, Yun Jian said, "Uncle, I found the woman I wanted to marry."
