"Who is this person? What's his name? Which department is he from?"
As she watched Ye Xiu leave the operating room, Zhao Ruobing's gaze turned to the other doctors present.
"Dr. Zhao, wasn't he with you? Don't you know his name?" The doctors and nurses in the operating room were surprised, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Zhao Ruobing.
"I don't know. I met him at the scene of the accident. Don't you know him either?" Zhao Ruobing was taken aback, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.
The doctors and nurses in the operating room were speechless. Zhao Ruobing had brought in someone she didn't even know from the scene of the accident? That was incredibly bold! What if something had gone wrong?
Zhao Ruobing's assistant, Xiao Chen, was sweating profusely, his face pale. If this person wasn't a skilled doctor, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"He's not from your department?" Zhao Ruobing's gaze scanned the other surgeons.
"Absolutely not!" They all shook their heads firmly.
They had been working in this hospital for years, and they knew all the doctors in their department. There was no way they wouldn't know someone like him if he belonged to their department.
"I don't think he's from our hospital. We don't have such a skilled and young doctor!" the orthopedic surgeon said, realizing his slip-up and quickly adding, "I mean, apart from you, Dr. Zhao, there's no other young doctor as skilled!"
But Zhao Ruobing paid no attention to his words. The moment Zhang spoke, she had already rushed out of the operating room.
She couldn't let someone like Ye Xiu, with such extraordinary surgical skills, slip away without even knowing his name.
Her hands clenched into fists as she thought about Ye Xiu's words when he volunteered to assist her. There was a glimmer of hope in them, and she couldn't afford to give up on it.
"Dr. Zhao!"
"Dr. Zhao, where are you going?"
The other doctors and nurses followed her, worried. The surgery might have been completed, but there were still administrative tasks that needed Zhao Ruobing's attention. If she left now, they would be in trouble.
"Dr. Zhao, did you find that person?" Xiao Chen asked cautiously as he caught up with Zhao Ruobing.
He had been working with Zhao Ruobing for a while now and knew her well enough to guess that she was going after Ye Xiu.
But Zhao Ruobing shook her head, her voice turning cold. "Today's surgery was our doing, understand?"
Although she was acting impulsively, Zhao Ruobing wasn't foolish. She knew the potential consequences of letting Ye Xiu's involvement in the surgery become public knowledge. Until she was certain of his identity and qualifications, she couldn't afford to let anyone know.
"We understand!"
"Don't worry, Dr. Zhao. We know that you led this surgery!" The others nodded solemnly, promising to keep the matter under wraps.
"Alright, let's go back and handle things. Everyone has worked hard today. After finishing up, go rest properly," Zhao Ruobing said, her expression slightly easing.
She knew they understood the situation, and now she could focus on finding Ye Xiu without worrying about any leaks.
