When Dr Shen returned to the operating table, Su Yun had taken over his position.
"Pardon me, but the subsequent procedures are rather challenging. I'll be more comfortable with the help of my assistant," Zheng Ren said politely, but that was all he provided before he dove right back into the operation.
The phrase, "my assistant", left Dr. Shen in a daze.
Even Department Chief Kong did not have an assigned assistant. How had this young doctor gotten one of his own?
Dr. Shen left the operating table dejectedly and went into the operator console room, where he stood in place, feeling completely at a loss. He stole a glance at Department Chief Kong from time to time, fearing the man's anger and castigation.
However, a few minutes passed and Department Chief Kong had not looked over at Dr. Shen. His focus was entirely on Zheng Ren and Su Yun operating. Dr. Shen got even more worried.
Could this be the lull before the storm?
