In the evening, after Wenya left.
Ding Yinuo was reluctant to leave.
He would occasionally check my ECG, adjust the IV tube.
When he saw the back of my hand a little swollen, he grabbed the hot water bag to apply on it.
He always took over when the nurse came to change my IV solution, afraid that others might hurt me.
The nurse joked with a smile,
"Doctor Ding, you're so worried about her, is she your girlfriend?"
Ding Yinuo grinned, "What girlfriend? She's my wife!"
"Oh, that's why you're so attentive, staying here days and nights without eating or sleeping, you're such a devoted man."
The nurse teased, and Ding Yinuo just smiled without answering.
Seeing that it was getting late, I urged him, "You should go home and rest."
"I'll stay with you tonight!"
"I don't need your company, there is an on-duty nurse here. Besides, don't I have a call bell here? I'll ring it if I feel uncomfortable."
"No, I'm not going anywhere!"
