C City.
Huo Mian was now used to Qin Chu’s indifference to her and tried to find ways to harass Su Yu.
As more people disappeared in the hospital, everyone became alarmed.
Instead of lying in bed, Huo Mian took a stroll around in the hospital; when her former colleagues greeted her with “Vice Director”, she’d give them a lofty face.
In the afternoon when she returned to her ward, Qin Chu was sitting beside the bed.
“Hon, when did you come?”
Continuing with her act, she called him “Hon” sweetly.
“Where did you go?”
“I… just took a stroll to get some fresh air.”
“The doctor said you’re almost recovered.”
“Yeah.” Huo Mian smiled.
“You healed so fast… It’s been only a few days…” Qin Chu looked her in the eye and said meaningfully.
“Hehe. Isn’t it normal? I studied health science and know how to take care of myself. It’s natural that I heal faster than ordinary people. It’s no big deal.”
Hearing her awkward excuses, Qin Chu didn’t expose her.
“I heard the hospital is in big trouble.”
“Really? What trouble? How come I don’t know about it?” Huo Mian played dumb.
“Many people disappeared here. No one knows if they were killed or… kidnapped.”
Huo Mian pretended to be in disbelief. “No way. Is it true? That’s horrible. Is there a psycho killer hiding in here?”
“Shouldn’t you… know it better than anyone else?”
With his eyes on her, he said the words slowly; hearing his words, Huo Mian looked obviously nervous.
She didn’t know what he meant and how much he knew about her.
So, she had to continue playing dumb…
“Hehe… Hon, you’re silly. I’m not a cop; how can I know it?” Huo Mian retorted.
Qin Chu stood up slowly and walked toward her.
She remained motionless but looked wary, afraid Qin Chu would attack her suddenly.
But she was sure Qin Chu was no match for her even if he launched a sneaky attack on her.
But Qin Chu didn’t attack; instead, he looked at her in concern.
“The nurses here like to gossip and must have told you about these things when they changed dressings for you. I’m afraid they exaggerated these things and alarmed you.”
“No, I won’t get alarmed. You know I’m not faint-hearted.”
“Okay. Since you can walk now, come with me to the South Side.”
“Why?” Huo Mian was surprised.
“Xixi will have a C Section this afternoon. She hopes you can do it for her; after all you’re an excellent obstetrician.”
“I…?”
Leila didn’t know how to do operations, especially a C Section. Unlike Huo Mian, she knew nothing about it, so she was at a loss for words.
“What’s it? You don’t want to do it?”
“No. I’m still weak and I’m afraid… I might bungle it… You know I’m not at my best lately,” Huo Mian continued to find excuses.
“But you did countless operations like this one and have lots of experiences. Only 20% of your previous skills is enough for this surgery. Xixi trusts you and Rick called me asking for your help specifically. I agreed.”
Obviously, Qin Chu was determined to have her perform the surgery.
“Hon… There are many excellent obstetricians at South Side. I truly can’t do it in my current state…”
It was obvious that she just didn’t want to do it and was trying to get out of it with excuses.
