After cleaning the kitchen, he brought over a basin of hot water and used a towel to apply a hot compress to her. "Wife, do you have any medicine? Let me wipe it for you."
After long periods of training, they inevitably develop some injuries all over their bodies, but these grown men just tough it out. But his wife is different; her hands are used to save lives and make medicine, so she's precious and can't be as rough as they are.
"No, don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's just that I don't usually work this long hours, and I'm still getting used to it. I'll be fine tomorrow." Seeing his worried expression, Ruan Ruan felt so grateful to have him by her side.
Thinking back, no matter how long she worked with her mentor or how late she came out, the only people waiting outside the operating room were always the patients' families. Sometimes, even the families would go home because the surgery took too long. Many times, when they came out, they would see an empty corridor.
But today, as soon as she came out, she saw Huo Haocheng waiting for her with food and water. This feeling of being cared for and cherished made her feel really happy.
Thinking this, she took off the handkerchief from her wrist and gently placed it on his face. "Brother, I'm very happy today. It's not because Wan Niang's surgery was successful, of course, I'm happy that she's better, but the most important thing is that when I came out, I was happy to see you. It made me realize that outside the operating room, there were not only patients' families waiting, but also my beloved!"
"Yes, I'm very happy too. I'm happy that your surgery was successful, and I'm also happy that I can be with you all the time."
As he spoke, Huo Haocheng kissed her lips.
After a long while, Huo Haocheng finally released her.
"Sweetie, you're tired today, and you'll be busy tomorrow. I'll make it up to you later."
Afterwards, worried that she wouldn't be able to resist, she took the now-cold water to the kitchen.
When I came out again, half an hour had passed.
"Let's go and rest."
After making sure all the doors were closed, he carried the person inside and went to sleep.
Lying in bed, Ruan Ruan thought she had just woken up and wouldn't fall asleep so quickly. However, for some reason, under Huo Haocheng's deep voice, she fell asleep in his arms in no time.
After she fell asleep, he kissed her forehead, closed his eyes contentedly, and went to sleep as well.
The next morning, Huo Haocheng got up and made a bowl of chicken noodle soup for each of them. (Thumbs up! (￣▽￣)d)
After enjoying the soup, the two drove to the hospital.
"Why are there so many more people at the hospital today than usual?"
Sitting in the car, looking at the crowds outside the hospital gate, Ruan Ruan wondered if they had gone to the wrong place and ended up at the supply and marketing cooperative. But the large characters "Yuncheng Military Region Hospital" above them told them they hadn't gone to the wrong place.
Huo Haocheng had imagined this scene yesterday, but he never expected so many people to come today.
"I think we should go in from the back," he said, restarting the car and driving it to the back door, which is usually the entrance for the cafeteria staff to bring in and out of vegetables.
The two entered through the back door of the kitchen and went to the ward first. "How are you? Do you have a fever?"
When she went in, she saw Dr. Li taking their temperatures.
"Dr. Ruan is here!"
"Dr. Ruan, the patient showed signs of fever last night. I added a fever-reducing medication to her IV anti-inflammatory fluid. Her temperature went down this morning, but now it's showing a slight fever again. I'm thinking that by using physical cooling methods, we can stop the IV medication. What do you think, Dr. Ruan?"
This Dr. Li is quite skilled in medicine; after all, he has practiced medicine for many years and has real expertise. However, now that he is facing Ruan Ruan, he habitually asks her a question.
Seeing his reaction, Ruan Ruan found him quite interesting, but she didn't answer him immediately. She stepped forward, took Wan Niang's pulse, took out silver needles from her bag, inserted two needles into her, and said, "Okay, just follow Dr. Li's method to lower the patient's fever."
Then she asked the child sitting on another hospital bed eating, "Little friend, how are you? Are you feeling alright?"
"Sister Ruan, I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright." He tried to get out of bed to show Ruan Ruan what he thought was his healthy body, but luckily Ruan Ruan was quick and stopped him.
"Okay, I believe in you. Eat first. Take good care of yourself during this time, okay? Once you're well, you can help your dad take care of your mom after she's discharged from the hospital."
Well-behaved and sensible children always receive preferential treatment.
"Wan Niang, you two should rest well first. I'm not often at the hospital. If anything happens, just look for Dr. Li; he's your attending physician." Ruan Ruan said this simply to let them know that Dr. Li's medical skills were excellent and that they should trust him. She herself wasn't officially employed at the hospital, and she was just lucky to have Dr. Li perform the surgery for her this time.
"Okay, we understand. Thank you, Dr. Ruan, and thank you, Dr. Li, for your help these past few days."
Dr. Li, standing nearby, was deeply moved by their words. Heaven knows how heartbroken he was when he received Wan Niang as his patient. Unseen by them, he secretly grieved and blamed himself. He blamed himself for not studying more and for his poor medical skills, allowing a living person to disappear before his eyes. So, when Li Yunda rolled in front of him, begging him to save his beloved, he hated his own incompetence.
But when Dr. Ruan said she could, he felt more gratitude than anything else. He was grateful that she was willing to help, and grateful that there was someone in this world who could cure this disease. So, in the days that followed, he worked diligently as Dr. Ruan's assistant, never missing a day of even the smallest tasks like taking temperatures. Yesterday, when she announced that the surgery was successful, he cried tears of joy.
Last night, he stayed at the hospital the whole time, checking on the patient every hour. Fortunately, as expected, the fever subsided after a few hours. Now, hearing Dr. Ruan tell the patient that his medical skills were excellent and hearing the patient's gratitude, he felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.
"...No, no need to thank me, it's what we doctors should do." Her voice choked with emotion as she replied to Wan Niang's thanks, then looked at Ruan Ruan and thanked her, "Thank you, Dr. Ruan."
Seeing him like this, Ruan Ruan was also quite moved. During this period, she wouldn't have been able to relax so much without him. Every time he came, he could tell her the patients' conditions very accurately, including their daily temperatures and test data. He might not be the best doctor in terms of medical skills, but it can be said that he is the most responsible doctor for his patients.
"Alright, it's almost time. The dean and the others are waiting. We'll head over now. Wan Niang, you should get some rest."
Afterwards, they went to the dean's office together.
