Dean Lin beamed after hearing Tan Xiaofang's description. "Oh! You have such excellent medical skills. I hope you can spare some time from your busy schedule to teach us. This will play a very important role in improving the overall medical level of our hospital. Of course, if you encounter any difficulties or problems during this process, please feel free to let us know. I will do my best to solve them for you and ensure that you can successfully complete this task."
Wang Xiaolan gazed at the weathered Dean Lin before her, a surge of respect welling up in her heart. Though not a large man, he exuded a resilience that came from weathering hardships. Time had carved deep wrinkles into his face, and the white hair at his temples shone like silver frost. Yet, his spirit remained vigorous, as if the passage of time had left no traces on him.
Wang Xiaolan's gaze slowly shifted downward, resting on Dean Lin's collar and neck. She was surprised to discover a long, old scar, like a winding snake, hidden beneath his clothing. Perhaps this scar represented an unforgettable experience in his life, perhaps a significant trauma he had endured over the years.
Wang Xiaolan couldn't help but wonder what story lay behind this scar. Perhaps it was the result of a fierce battle, or perhaps an accident. Regardless, it was a mark on Dean Lao Lin's life, a testament to all the ups and downs he had endured.
At this moment, Wang Xiaolan's heart was filled with not only respect for Dean Lin, but also admiration for an elder.
She stared at Dean Lin with a firm and sincere gaze and said, "Dean, please rest assured. I will tell everyone everything I know without reservation."
As the three of them were talking, a nurse came over and said, "Director Lin, a leader is outside and is anxiously looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Dean Lin said goodbye to Wang Xiaolan and the others and hurried to the office.
As soon as he saw the newcomer, he said quickly, "Old buddy, what brings you here? You're so lucky! I just got back from headquarters too. Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me!"
It turned out that this leader was none other than General Su. He took off his hat, glanced at him, and said, "Do you think I really came to see you? I'm so busy, I don't have the time. I came to see my son."
Dean Lin asked suspiciously, "Your son is in our hospital? He's injured?"
General Su nodded slightly in approval, and said slowly, "He's been in your hospital for quite some time now. During that time, he heard that my son's leg injury was quite serious, and he was even at risk of amputation. Fortunately, there is always a way out. My goddaughter showed up in time, which saved my son Su Nan's life!"
Dean Lin looked at General Su suspiciously, clearly surprised by what he had just said. He blinked, seemingly not fully understanding what he was saying. After a moment's pause, he came to his senses and quickly said, "Wait, Old Su, you just said your goddaughter is a doctor in our hospital? This... how come I don't know anything about this! I'm the dean of this hospital, and I should know every doctor there. Could you be mistaken?"
General Su said with certainty: "She's my goddaughter, how could I be wrong? If you don't believe me, let's go to the ward and take a look, then we'll know."
Dean Lin ordered the nurse beside him to get Su Nan's medical records. After that, he accompanied General Su to the intensive care unit No. 2.
General Su saw Zhao Lihan first when he entered the ward. The nurse was giving him an IV drip.
He said in disbelief: "Xiao Zhao, you are injured too."
When Zhao Lihan saw General Su, he wanted to sit up. General Su held him down and said, "Don't move. You're a wounded soldier now, so let's not talk about this. After all, you're still my son-in-law! After all, I'm still your father-in-law, right?"
Zhao Lihan showed an awkward smile on his face and said softly, "Thank you, Chief..."
Huang Yong muttered to himself, "Captain, Captain... not only do you have such a powerful wife, but you also have a father-in-law who's a high-ranking official. What luck you have!"
Meanwhile, Dean Lin was completely bewildered by what Old Man Su said. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What on earth is this old man Su up to? One moment he says Dr. Wang is his goddaughter, the next moment he says this injured young soldier is his godson. What's going on? The relationship is so complicated..." The more Dean Lin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he was too embarrassed to ask for clarification.
General Su didn't care what President Lin was thinking at all. He exchanged greetings with Zhao Lihan for a while before visiting Su Nan.
He looked at his pale son lying on the hospital bed, and a pang of grief welled up in his heart. He fought back his tears and said to Su Nan in a stern tone, "You little brat, you've only been on the battlefield for a few days, and you're already injured like this? Are you still my son, Su Nan?"
Although General Su's tone was a bit stiff, Sunan could feel his father's inner worry and love. He knew that his father was a strong man who did not easily express his emotions, so even though his heart was hurt, he still used this way to express his concern for him.
Sunan smiled bitterly and explained, "Dad, I don't want to do that either! The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and bullets have no eyes. No one can predict what will happen. Maybe my business is not good enough, which led to the result today." His words revealed a hint of helplessness and self-blame.
General Su felt that his words were a bit too ruthless. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to say more. I know how you feel now? Does your wound still hurt?"
Sunan replied, "Much better."
General Su looked at Dean Lin and said to him rudely, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you help take care of his injuries?"
Dean Lin smiled bitterly and said, "It's you, standing in front of me..."
General Su realized that he was wrong, so he quickly moved aside to make room. Dean Lin then walked in, came to Su Nan's bed, bent down to check the injured part of Su Nan's thigh.
At this time, the nurse took Su Nan's medical record and handed it to Dean Lin. Dean Lin looked at the medical record and exclaimed from time to time: "This is really a medical miracle." Then he said to the nurse beside him: "Quickly call Su Nan's attending physician."
Not long after the nurse left, Wang Xiaolan and Tan Xiaofang arrived at the ward.
Wang Xiaolan went to check Zhao Lihan's wound first. Tan Xiaofang was so excited when she saw Su Lao that she went straight to him.
She asked in surprise, "Uncle Su, why are you here?"
General Su looked at Tan Xiaofang in front of him with suspicion, and his deep eyes revealed a hint of doubt and blame.
