Xie Wanying stood up, just about to step out.
From the corridor came the voices of several nurses: "Dr. Tao is back."
"Yes, I'm back, thank you all for your hard work while I was away this afternoon," replied Tao Zhijie, acknowledging his colleagues' concern as he went.
In the blink of an eye, He Guangyou, who had accompanied him, appeared at the door of the doctors' office with Tao Zhijie.
Xie Wanying, who had just stood up, was face to face with the incoming senior brother and had to greet him first, "Senior Tao."
"Are you here to see me?" Tao Zhijie asked with a smile, his eyes intentionally humorous as he squinted at her.
"Yes —" Xie Wanying suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and, for some reason, a bit of anxiety set in.
"It seems she has some private matters to discuss with you," He Guangyou whispered to Tao Zhijie's ear.
