Hai'an City First Hospital, the emergency operating room.
The red light that had been on for three hours finally went out.
Tang Fengyue walked out, taking off her medical gloves and mask, and threw them into the trash can.
The associate physician following her handed her the hand sanitizer, "Dr. Tang, it's fortunate that you were the one operating. If it had been any other doctor, the patient just now would have been in dire straits."
Tang Fengyue held the bottle and squeezed twice, rubbing her hands as she earnestly instructed, "Closely monitor the patient's postoperative reactions later, especially pay attention to......"
Her words were cut off as her gaze shifted to the nurses dashing down the corridor, the smile on her lips faded.
Everyone in the emergency department is well-trained. This kind of rush would definitely be for an emergency.
Without bothering to instruct further, Tang Fengyue washed off the foam on her hands. Without drying her hands, she quickly headed towards the emergency room.
As she pushed the door open to the emergency room, Tang Fengyue heard a few nursing staff discussing.
"Another emergency?"
"Yes, a patient who suddenly fainted has just been brought in, even the dean was alerted."
"Who's so important to alert the Dean?"
"Gu Yanting!"
Gu...Yan...ting!?
Tang Fengyue's breath hitched.
"In Hai'an City, how many Gu Yanting are there besides him? I heard that when he was unconscious, he was at the bridal shop trying wedding dresses with his fiancee..."
Tang Fengyue didn't hear the words that followed. Her accelerated heartbeat pounded against her chest making it ache slightly.
"Dr. Tang? You're here! That's great, please take a look at this patient."
The nurse monitoring the heart rate and blood pressure noticed her, her face lit up with relief, and immediately handed her the blood test report.
She seemed to have not noticed the slight paleness on Tang's face.
"Dr. Tang, the patient's white blood cells are elevated, accompanied by low blood sugar. We've just given him glucose. It might be acute gastritis."
Reluctantly taking the blood test report, Tang Fengyue glanced at the values on it. Taking a deep breath, she instructed the nurse at her side, "Leave this to me."
"Then...then I'm leaving now. I'm counting on you, Dr. Tang." The nurse bid her farewell.
Tang Fengyue 'hmm' a response.
It wasn't until the nurse left with the sterilization cart that Tang Fengyue picked up the stethoscope from the table and walked over to the bedside.
Slowly, she turned her gaze to the man on the bed. Her suppressed emotions swayed again. The calmness on her face gradually faded.
Gu Yanting was still unconscious, his narrow phoenix eyes closed tightly, revealing fatigue and weakness.
Even so, his cold breath still gave a strong oppressive feeling, making people dare not approach him.
A dull pain filled Tang Fengyue's heart. Seven years!
She once thought she would never see him again in her life.
Subconsciously, she lifted her hand intending to soothe the wrinkles on his forehead, but in the split-second before contact, she withdrew.
What are you doing, Tang Fengyue?
Right now, your only relationship is that of doctor and patient.
Pulling herself together, Tang Fengyue removed the sorrow hidden in her eyes, averting her gaze from Gu Yanting's face.
With trembling fingers, she undid the buttons of his suit jacket. His familiar and brisk scent filled her nostrils, and she had to take a deep breath. Moving swiftly, she picked up the stethoscope, bent down, and pressed it against his stomach over his shirt.
His stomach's condition had clearly become obscenely complex.
Confirmed as acute gastritis.
Tang Fengyue straightened her back, but an accidental glance made her drop the stethoscope she was holding.
On the bed, Gu Yanting, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes. His amber irises cast a profound cold light, staring directly at her face.
He suddenly grasped her wrist, the tape holding the needle in his hand was torn off, causing the needle inserted into his vein to loosen, and blood immediately seeped out.
His eyes dimmed and slowly moved down to the badge on her chest.
Chief physician, Tang Fengyue!
