The woman's scar was visibly disappearing at a remarkable rate.
In less than thirty seconds, the scar was completely gone.
Even the stitches that had been in the wound had vanished.
Looking at the woman's calf, the skin had returned to its original state, as smooth as jade and dazzling like white porcelain.
"What… what is going on?"
The interns who had mocked Ye Qiu were stunned.
Dr. Wang was also dumbfounded; in his many years of medical practice, he had never seen anything like this.
"How did you do it?" Dr. Wang asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
"Didn't you see for yourself?" Ye Qiu replied.
"Could it really be a Maoshan talisman?" Dr. Wang still found it hard to believe.
Ye Qiu said seriously, "I told you before, Maoshan talismans are not feudal superstitions but a form of magical secret art."
"But…"
"Are you done?" The woman impatiently interrupted Dr. Wang, saying, "This is none of your concern. You can leave now."
"Then, Ms. Lin, I'll be leaving. Call me if you need anything."
Before Dr. Wang left the room, he cast a cold glance at Ye Qiu.
Outside in the corridor, the interns were fuming.
"Teacher, Ye Qiu is clearly fooling around. Such scum should be kicked out of the hospital."
"Exactly. A single bad apple spoils the whole barrel. If Ye Qiu stays, he'll eventually cause disaster for our hospital."
"Teacher, you are Ms. Lin's primary doctor. If anything happens to her, you'll be responsible."
"Shut up!" Dr. Wang scolded, his face stern. "Do you know where Mr. Guo is?"
"I saw Mr. Guo at the caregiver station when I came to the ward," an intern said.
"I see. You all go back to work!"
Seeing Dr. Wang's displeased expression, the interns dared not say more and hurried off.
Dr. Wang stood still for a moment before heading to the caregiver station.
In the ward.
The woman propped her chin on her hands and gazed at Ye Qiu with her big, watery eyes.
Ye Qiu felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I'm thinking, since you've done such a big favor for me, how should I thank you? How about a kiss?" The woman blinked, her eyelashes fluttering, looking very attractive.
Ye Qiu's face flushed red, and he quickly said, "Ms. Lin, please don't."
"Then what do you want? How about I offer myself?"
After saying this, the woman blew Ye Qiu a kiss and gave him a wink.
Ye Qiu's heart raced, and he hurriedly looked away.
This woman was indeed a tormenting fairy.
"Really? You're so easily embarrassed. Haven't you interacted with women before? You're a doctor; you should deal with women often!"
The woman smiled and said, "Is it because I'm more beautiful than other women you've seen?"
Ye Qiu's face reddened further.
He had to admit that this woman was indeed the most beautiful he had ever seen. Just a single glance could stir someone's heart. Any normal man would struggle to resist her charm.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." The woman's teasing expression faded, and she said, "Ye Qiu, let me introduce myself properly. My name is Lin Jingzhi."
Jingzhi?
Ye Qiu glanced at the woman; she was indeed quite refined, but…
Sigh!
Ye Qiu sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Do you find my name unpleasant?" The woman asked, puzzled.
"I think Lin Yaoguai suits you better."
Ye Qiu regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth, thinking that he might anger the woman and jeopardize his chance of becoming her caregiver.
However, the woman was not angry and instead smiled, saying, "You're quite smart. Others call me Lin Yaoguai."
"Really?" Ye Qiu said, "Actually, calling you a fairy isn't quite accurate."
"Why?"
"Because you're more beautiful than a fairy."
The woman giggled, looking at Ye Qiu with interest, and asked, "What do you want me to do? Just say it!"
Ye Qiu felt a bit embarrassed, not expecting his little joke to be seen through so easily, and said, "Ms. Lin, I want to be your caregiver."
"Just that?" Lin Jingzhi was somewhat surprised.
"Yes." Ye Qiu nodded and explained, "I was originally a probationary surgeon. After being framed, I was transferred to the caregiver station. If I can't be your caregiver, I will be out of a job."
Lin Jingzhi found it strange and said, "With your ability, losing this job shouldn't be a big deal."
"I'm passionate about this field. I want to become a great doctor," Ye Qiu said earnestly.
Lin Jingzhi looked at Ye Qiu with appreciation and said with a smile, "I really like men with dreams. From now on, you can be my caregiver. Do we need to sign a contract?"
"I'll get the contract right away." Ye Qiu quickly left the room.
"This little man is quite interesting," Lin Jingzhi said with a smile, taking out her phone and dialing her assistant. She ordered, "Xiao Jie, check on a caregiver named Ye Qiu from Jiangzhou Hospital. I want to know everything about him in three minutes."
"Understood, Ms. Lin," came the pleasant female voice from the phone.
In less than three minutes, Lin Jingzhi received the information, reviewed it, and frowned slightly: "Illegitimate child? Girlfriend stolen? Plagiarized medical records? This guy has quite a story!"
Knock knock—
The knock on the door interrupted Lin Jingzhi's thoughts. She looked up to see a young doctor enter the room.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, Ms. Lin. I'm Guo Shaocong, a surgeon at this hospital. I heard you're planning to hire Ye Qiu as a caregiver?" Guo Shaocong said, casting a sidelong glance at Lin Jingzhi.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Jingzhi asked calmly.
"I want to tell Ms. Lin that you shouldn't hire Ye Qiu as a caregiver."
"Why?"
"Ms. Lin, you might not know, but Ye Qiu was originally an intern in the surgery department. He's irresponsible, neglects his duties, and plagiarized my medical records. Such a person should be firmly rejected, otherwise…"
Before Guo Shaocong could finish, Ye Qiu returned.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Qiu's expression darkened upon seeing Guo Shaocong.
"Why should it matter to you where I am?" Guo Shaocong's attitude was very arrogant.
Lin Jingzhi smiled and said, "Dr. Guo just told me that you're irresponsible, neglectful at work, and plagiarized his medical records. He advised me not to hire you as a caregiver."
Ye Qiu said angrily, "Guo Shaocong, why are you always targeting me?"
"Because I can't stand you. Is that reason enough?" Guo Shaocong replied and said to Lin Jingzhi, "Ms. Lin, please reconsider my advice."
"What if I insist on hiring Ye Qiu as a caregiver?" Lin Jingzhi smiled.
Guo Shaocong was taken aback and said, "Ms. Lin, if you insist on hiring Ye Qiu as a caregiver, if any issues arise, the hospital will not be responsible."
"If something does go wrong, can your hospital take responsibility?" Lin Jingzhi's smile suddenly vanished, and a powerful aura emanated from her.
At that moment, she resembled a queen.
Guo Shaocong was shocked.
He had never seen such a powerful aura even from the hospital director and wondered who this woman really was.
"Ye Qiu," Lin Jingzhi called.
Ye Qiu looked at Lin Jingzhi.
Lin Jingzhi said, "Today, I'll teach you a principle of being a person. In this world, it's not about you taking a step back and others doing the same. Often, when you take a step back, others think you're easy to bully and will take advantage. The saying 'a kind person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden' is exactly this principle."
Ye Qiu pondered thoughtfully.
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" After a few seconds, Lin Jingzhi asked.
Ye Qiu nodded, "I understand."
"Then what are you waiting for!"
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and looked coldly at Guo Shaocong.
His gaze made Guo Shaocong uncomfortable, and he yelled, "What are you staring at! You bastard…"
Slap!
A slap suddenly landed on Guo Shaocong's face.
