" Bei, take his information" Li Hua instructed as they placed the man on the bed.
" Your name please" Bei demanded while Li Hua put on her gloves.
" Quan Qiang" the man replied
Bei took the remaining information and placed the file on the desk.
After what seemed like an hour, his X-ray results came and the leg was cast.
" Take a rest. I will come to check on you later" Li Hua told Quan Qiang and left the room.
She took her phone from her coat pocket and texted her best friend.
" Could you please deliver a plate of noodles to my office? I have a lot to do and can't come out right now" Li Hua texted and dropped the phone.
She took the new patient's file and went through his information quietly before placing the file back on her desk.
" Don't think, I don't know you were the one who called me an ugly face at the parking lot" Li Hua mumbled with her eyes filled with resentment. She remembered how they both bumped into each other at the parking lot and how he called her an ugly chick.
A few minutes later, Tao Mei walked into Li Hua's office with the good box in her hand.
" What's Dr. Li thinking about?" Mei asked teasingly as she placed the food box on the desk.
" Tsk! Mei can I ask you something?" Li Hua asked with her right hand supporting her jaw.
" You know you can ask me anything. Anything you can think of" Tao Mei replied. She opened the food box and started dishing the food.
" Look at me," Li Hua said and Tao Mei raised her head to look at Li Hua.
" How do I look?" Li Hua asked
" You look good. Are you going on a date with young master Ye Zeghai?" Mei probed
" Tsk! I do the questioning and you do the answering. Okay?"
" Yes, Dr. Li" Mei replied with a hearty laugh. She knew better that Li Hua likes doing the questioning. Just that she only wanted to see if Li His is now getting along with Yes Zeghai so that they can start planning the wedding.
" How do you tell a woman she looked good?" Li His asked again with her hand still supporting her jaw.
" You're beautiful" Tao Mei replied and a smile appeared on Li Hua's face.
" Did Ye Ze.."
" Stop bringing up his name" Li Hua interrupted Mei. She knew what she was planning to ask and she isn't about to answer that.
" But you too are engaged," Tao Mei said softly while handing a pair of chopsticks to Li Hua.
" Whatever" Li Hua scoffed as she stuffed noodles inside her mouth.
" Your cooking skills have improved greatly. All the patients like it" Li Hua said with food in her mouth.
" Is that a compliment or mockery?" Mie asked while eating from her bowl of noodles. They eat together anytime Li Hua goes over to the restaurant and they also do the same anytime she brings food for Li Hua to her office.
" Take it any way you want it" Li Hua mumbled and they continued eating.
After eating for what seemed like 10 minutes, Li His dropped her chopsticks, drank a glass of water, and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
" How do you take revenge on someone that calls you ugly?" Li Hua asked out of the blue and Mei choked on her food from laughing at Li Hua's question.
Ward three
The door to the ward got pushed open and Li Hua walked in rolling a trolley of medications.
Quan Qiang who was having a phone conversation with someone turned to face Li Hua direction.
" The ugly girl at the park" He blurted out and Li Hua's face turned grim.
" Quan Qiang, how are you feeling?" Li Hua asked with her hands in her coat pocket.
" Feeling good" Quan Qiang replied grumpily. The patient's clothes looked so innocent on him and his pale collarbone can be seen vividly.
His hair was still intact and no single strand went astray.
" You don't look good. You look sick" Li Hua said and Quan Qiang's face dropped.
" You-: " Quan Qiang pointed his index finger at Li Hua whose gaze was fixed on his pale face.
" Do you own my body? I said I'm fine" Quan Qiang said.
" As my patient, I own your body and I know when my patients are sick," Li Hua said brutally.
" I can move my legs now and I can use the phone now," Quan Qiang said and Li Hua scoffed at him.
She turned to the kidney dish on the trolley and took a loaded five ml syringe from it. Expelled the air bubbles and turned back to Quan Qiang who was toying with his phone.
" Since you can move your legs now, why don't you give me your butt?" Li Hua asked and the phone slipped from Quan Qiang's hands.
" Get out of my room and get me another doctor. I can't tolerate you" Quan Qiang said angrily and Li Hua smirked.
" Do you know who the boss is here?" Li Hua asked with her hand wrapped across her chest.
" Who cares? Get me another doctor right now" Quan Qiang demanded.
" Do you still want to go back to inspecting your new building or do you want to keep seeing my annoying, ugly face every day?" Li Hua asked
" I want to get out of here" Quan Quag replied.
" Then give me your butt"
