Ye Chuyi kept Madam Wen company a little longer before lifting her wrist to check the time. She then stood up and excused herself, "Madam, I have a surgery to perform. After it's finished, I'll come back to see you."
"Alright, you go and stay busy!"
As Ye Chuyi walked toward the exit, she couldn't help but feel uncertain, "Madam, where's my mother? Why isn't she here with you?"
"Your mom followed Youyou's father back home. They went to prepare a nutritional meal for me and also to bring me some clean clothes and such. They should be back soon."
"That's good. If you need anything, just ring the bell. There's a nurse waiting outside."
"Ok."
Having instructed her, Ye Chuyi then left with peace of mind.
She returned to her office, quickly ate a boxed meal, and then headed to the operating room.
Today's patient had experienced a sudden worsening of their condition, so she had to work consecutive shifts, performing surgery to remove the tumor overnight.
