Chapter 1434: You Are My Little Love Song (1)*
“Doctor Qin, the patient with a broken leg in bed six just went out to pour some water and tried to get off the bed to walk around. Right now, he’s screaming that his leg hurts!”
The tall figure was dressed in a long, white doctor’s coat. The man’s gaze was cold. When he pushed open the door of the ward, he saw the young man lying on the bed holding his leg and groaning in pain.
“Doctor Qin, you’re here. Quick, take a look. This child is so disobedient. I already told him not to get off the bed and walk around, but he insisted that he was young and not afraid. He even said that he could get off the bed and jump around after so long. In the end, he only came down for a few minutes and…” When the patient’s family saw that the attending doctor had come, they quickly got up and walked over. “Is he all right? Will this affect his recovery after the surgery? ”
The man did not speak. He walked to the bed and looked down at the boy in his early twenties.
This boy was a university student. When he pa.s.sed the ball in the school’s basketball club, he was too fierce. He was accidentally kicked down by the other party and then twisted to the ground, causing the fracture of his ankle to connect to his calf bone. It had been almost a month since the operation.
However, because this boy still had some other illnesses and there were some people at home who could speak in the hospital, he had been accepted by the Department of Internal Medicine and Orthopedics. Occasionally, he would come over to check on the situation.
“I’m an intern,” Qin Siting said calmly. He picked up the blue slip from the bed and glanced at it. He then turned back to the nurse behind him. “Call Doctor Zhang from the Orthopedics Department.”
When the nurse saw Doctor Qin’s expression, she knew that the operation half an hour ago must have been very tiring. When he was not working in the hospital, he rarely paid attention to anyone. Right now, his expression was unbelievably cold. The nurse did not dare to ask anything and quickly left the ward.
“Doctor Qin, you’ve just had an operation, and you must be tired. I know this child is immature, and you have to take the time to visit him, but I’m really worried about his leg…” The patient’s family member stood by the side and saw the doctor’s unusually good appearance, and he spoke up nervously.
Qin Siting coldly glanced at the patient’s family member and said in a clear and cold voice, “The chief surgeon and nurses should have reminded him more than once about the things he should take note of. Right now, the situation won’t affect the healing of his leg bone, but what will happen to his rehabilitation and other convenience will depend on his body and calcium absorption. No doctor can guarantee that he will be able to stand up and return to the basketball court in a few months, but if he doesn’t take the doctor’s advice seriously, I can guarantee that he won’t be able to return to the basketball court in a few months.”
The patient’s family member was startled. Qin Siting did not even look at the young man on the bed whose eyes had turned red from anxiety. When he heard the footsteps of an orthopedic doctor approaching, he walked out expressionlessly.
The door of the ward opened. Doctor Zhang of the Orthopedics Department greeted Qin Siting when he saw him: “Siting, why do you look so pale these days? The higher-ups have arranged too many surgeries for you? Have you not rested for a long time? Recently, you’ve been on duty all the time, and there have been several important chest-opening surgeries, right?”
“It’s fine. The one inside, be careful with him. At such a young age, he overestimated himself. Don’t cripple his leg just like that.” Qin Siting did not turn back. He only raised his hand slightly to bid farewell and headed straight for his consulting room.
“Tsk, you’re only five or six years older than the one inside. You speak as if you’re very old.” Doctor Zhang smiled and pushed the door open.
Qin Siting received the medical record from the nurse behind him and quickly followed the patient who had just arrived. As he read it, he said, “Go to Bed 3 to redo the blood regulation. We can stop the injection for Bed 17. He’ll be discharged tomorrow morning. After you go back, ask the family members to keep an eye on him. Bed 22…”
Hai City Central Hospital was the largest provincial tertiary Grade A hospital in Hai City and several nearby provinces. The hospital staff never have free time. All the medical staff were busy. When they had a rare break, they would return to the consulting room or the duty room to catch up on sleep.
Qin Siting had been performing two thoracotomy surgeries since midnight. There would be another one in the afternoon. Right now, he needed to go back and sleep for an hour. Otherwise, he would not be able to perform the surgery in the afternoon.
The nurses’ station was the only place in the hospital where all sorts of gossip often spread. When he pa.s.sed by the nurses’ station, two intern nurses held two bags of salt water and pushed the rolling cart forward. As they walked, they said, “Really? The chairman of s.h.i.+da Group suddenly pa.s.sed away? s.h.i.+da used to have a good reputation in Hai City. I used to buy their company’s branded bags. The quality has always been good. Isn’t their chairman only in his fifties? Why did he die?”
“I heard that he died of an illness in America. Hey, say, s.h.i.+da Group used to thrive in Hai City. Four years ago, why did the entire family suddenly move out of Hai City overnight? Even the company’s head office was transferred to America. Could there be something fishy going on…”
“Even if there’s really something, it’s not something commoners like us can know. We can only listen to the gossip about those wealthy people.”
“Who said so? Our hospital’s Doctor Qin is the young master of one of the four big families in Hai City…”
As she spoke, she suddenly felt a cold gaze on her. The two nurses turned back and met Prince Qin’s gaze. They were frightened and quickly stood up straight. Then, they pushed the rolling cart away helplessly.
…
9: 00 p.m.
Hai City, Lishui Villa.
The white Porsche stopped in front of the villa’s door. The man got out of the car. He was no longer wearing the white coat from the hospital. He was wearing a simple casual outfit. The automatic sensor lights in the villa’s yard made him appear as though he was covered in a thin layer of gold.
Qin Siting walked into the villa. After a long day, it was rare for him to come back for a night’s rest. He habitually opened a bottle of wine and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He looked in the direction of the villa opposite and was about to drink.
All of a sudden, his phone rang. It was a sudden call from the hospital. Qin Siting put down his gla.s.s and picked it up.
“Doctor Qin, the patient in Bed 17 suddenly coughed up blood and said he couldn’t breathe. Come and take a look…”
“I understand.” Qin Siting hung up the phone and turned to leave, leaving a gla.s.s of wine on the table by the window alone.
The white Porsche drove out of the Lishui Villa like an arrow leaving the bowstring. After the car disappeared, across the street, in the villa that no one had lived in for four years, a faint yellow light lit up from the window.
