Chapter 272 A Sharp Gaze That Seemed to Kill
"Sigh, if I could choose, I wouldn't want to get married so young either," Xia Yuhuan sighed.
She secretly observed Zhou Shizui's expression.
Seeing that his eyes brightened noticeably when she said that, she felt reassured.
"Oh? What makes you say that?" Zhou Shizui asked.
"My marriage to him was arranged by my family. I couldn't resist, so I married him."
"It's an arranged marriage, how can there be any feelings between you?"
"Now that time has passed, I've gradually gotten used to it," Xia Yuhuan said casually.
If Zhou Shi puts in the effort to find out about her and Chi Yanzhou, he'll definitely be able to find out.
So Xia Yuhuan didn't intend to lie.
She didn't go into specifics because her relationship with Zhou Shizui wasn't close enough for her to gossip with him in such detail.
This vague and ambiguous approach is probably the most appropriate.
A dark glint flashed in Zhou Shizui's eyes as he asked, "Then can you be sure you really like him?"
"Or perhaps you're simply forced to get used to it because you have no other choice?"
"If you were given the chance to divorce him now, would you be willing?"
Zhou Shi asked three questions in a row, which made Xia Yuhuan's strange feeling come true.
Goodness, she's now certain that Zhou Shizui really... likes her.
Even if they don't like it, they probably still have a morbid possessiveness.
Xia Yuhuan found it very inexplicable.
"I really hadn't thought about that."
"Dr. Zhou, I just remembered I have something to do. My teacher just asked me to go see him. See you later."
Xia Yuhuan said, waving to Zhou Shizui.
Zhou Shizui smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy, see you later."
He then watched Xia Yuhuan's departing figure.
He only turned and left after Xia Yuhuan had completely disappeared from his sight.
Xia Yuhuan only breathed a sigh of relief after the stares behind her disappeared.
She frowned as she walked to Jiang Zhicheng's office.
Only when she stood in front of Jiang Zhicheng's office did she adjust her expression, relax her furrowed brows, and knock on the door.
"Teacher, I'm here."
"Come in," Jiang Zhicheng replied.
Xia Yuhuan only entered the room after hearing his response.
"Xiao Huan, you're here! Come over here quickly." Jiang Zhicheng waved to Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan responded and quickly stepped forward.
Jiang Zhicheng showed her a patient's medical record.
"This injury is quite serious. Should we transfer him to our hospital for surgery?" Xia Yuhuan asked after examining the wound.
"Yes, they can't treat it over there, so they're pinning their hopes on us," Jiang Zhicheng replied.
"If this surgery were entrusted to you, are you confident you could succeed?" Jiang Zhicheng asked.
Xia Yuhuan has just undergone surgery on Wang Aiping and is currently a prominent figure. Jiang Zhicheng wants to take this opportunity to promote Xia Yuhuan to an even higher position.
However, this patient's condition was somewhat complicated, and he was worried that Xia Yuhuan wouldn't be able to handle it, so he asked her in advance.
Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly: "It should be fine."
Jiang Zhicheng trusted Xia Yuhuan a lot, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her say that.
"Alright, then this surgery is entrusted to you. You must do your best to cure the person."
“Okay, teacher,” Xia Yuhuan replied.
"Don't worry, teacher. I will do my best to cure every one of my patients."
"Yes, that's why I called you here. Here's the medical record. Take it back and look at it carefully. The patient will be transported tonight, and we need to start surgery immediately."
"I'm afraid you'll have to work overtime today," Jiang Zhicheng said.
"Don't worry, I know, teacher." Xia Yuhuan replied, took the medical record, and turned to leave.
"Oh, right, Xiao Huan," Jiang Zhicheng suddenly called out to her.
"Huh? What's wrong, teacher?" Xia Yuhuan asked, puzzled.
"Well, I know you and Yanzhou have a good relationship, but you should be more careful outside of home in the future, so that no one can use it against you, right?" Jiang Zhicheng said awkwardly.
Xia Yuhuan felt even more embarrassed upon hearing this.
She never expected Jiang Zhicheng to bring this up again.
Jiang Zhicheng was embarrassed, but she was even more embarrassed than him.
I wish I could find a hole to crawl into.
"I understand, teacher. I won't do it again."
Xia Yuhuan said this, then hurriedly ran away with her head down.
Even after returning to her office, Xia Yuhuan's flushed face had not subsided.
"Ahhh, this is so embarrassing! My reputation is ruined!" Xia Yuhuan screamed softly.
Fortunately, she now has her own private office, otherwise she wouldn't even have a way to vent her frustrations right now.
Xia Yuhuan fiddled with things for a while before getting back to work.
That afternoon, Xia Yuhuan called Yan Hu and told him not to come pick her up.
I called home again to let them know.
That evening, when the critically ill patient with complicated symptoms was sent to the military hospital, the situation had already reached its worst stage.
"The patient's vital signs have deteriorated rapidly, and the prognosis is now very poor."
The accompanying medical staff spoke urgently.
Xia Yuhuan stepped forward to check on the patient's condition.
She had memorized the other person's medical records and, after the examination, knew that the situation described by the accompanying medical staff would only get worse, not better.
"Get him into the operating room immediately and start surgery right away," Xia Yuhuan decided decisively.
Fortunately, the decision was made to start the surgery as soon as the patient arrived that evening, so the operating room was ready.
What followed was a long rescue operation, a race against death.
As dawn broke, Xia Yuhuan finally managed to snatch the person back from the brink of death.
She had been busy all night, and even with her body being strengthened by the spiritual spring water, she still felt tired.
She sat down on a chair outside the operating room and closed her eyes to rest.
I was so tired that I fell asleep without even realizing it.
When Zhou Shizui saw her fall asleep from exhaustion, his eyes were filled with heartache and resentment.
Upon closer inspection, it seems to harbor a hint of disdain.
He slowly walked forward, squatted down in front of Xia Yuhuan, and looked up at her.
Xia Yuhuan is beautiful.
Even though she was tired and didn't look very attractive leaning against the back of the chair to fall asleep, her looks still held up very well.
Zhou Shizui stared at her, completely mesmerized.
Doctors and nurses who had also finished their work passed by and were all shocked.
The way Dr. Zhou looked at Director Xia was suspicious!
Is there something going on between the two of them?
For a moment, they stared at each other silently, their eyes exchanging messages rapidly.
Zhou Shi noticed their gazes and turned to look at them.
Unlike the gentle demeanor he displayed when looking at Xia Yuhuan.
Zhou Shizui's gaze toward the medical staff was so cold and sharp that it seemed as if he could dissect them alive.
He slowly raised his hand to his lips, making a shushing gesture.
It seemed as if he would kill them if they dared to make a sound and wake Xia Yuhuan.
The two were terrified by him and, too scared to linger, quickly left together.
