Qingshan was shocked when he saw that the man in front of him was Seliek, but the expression on his face was still just the right amount of sadness.
“Y-yes, may I ask who you are—?”
Seeing the girl in front of him with starry eyes, cherry lips and skin so white that it seemed transparent, Seri's eyes unconsciously fell on the girl's white neck and he licked his lips.
"I'm the director of St. Vlad's Hospital. My name is Seri White. Nice to meet you, beautiful lady!"
After saying that, Serri extended her hand toward Qingshan. Qingshan thought she wanted to shake hands, so she extended her hand as well. Instead, Serri took Qingshan's hand and kissed it. Although Serri's gesture was gentlemanly, with her lips lightly touching the back of Qingshan's hand before leaving, Qingshan still got goosebumps.
Luo Wenyuan, in the command vehicle, saw Seri kissing Qingshan's hand. His head was buzzing with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, and his fists clenched. In his mind, he'd already tortured Seri a hundred times: Damn it! I've never even kissed you! When I get in here, I'm going to beat your mouth to pieces!
Qingshan pulled her hand back, put it behind her back and rubbed it silently. The touch of Seri's lips just now made her very uncomfortable, like touching the skin of a snake, cold and sticky.
"Hello, Dr. White, I'm here to see my uncle." After saying that, Qingshan pointed at Zhan Kunpeng who was lying in the ward.
Serri pretended to be regretful, and his tone and attitude were impeccable, even a little elegant:
"So Zhan Sheng is your uncle. I'm so sorry for the grief you've endured! May God bless Zhan Sheng!"
"How is my uncle? Is he getting better?"
"It's not good, it can even be said to be very bad! Zhansheng was almost called by the Lord this afternoon. After emergency treatment, he was temporarily stabilized. We will definitely do our best to save his life. However, this disease is too violent. Whether Zhansheng can survive depends on the will of the Lord! Amen!"
After saying this, Serri made the sign of the cross. Qingshan sneered inwardly. It was ironic that a vampire butcher who took human life so lightly would say "Lord" and "Amen" all the time.
Seri still didn't know the beauty's name and was about to ask when a doctor came out of the doctor's office, saw Seri, shouted "Dean White!" and walked quickly towards them.
Ceri still had a gentle smile on her face, but the look in her blue eyes was clearly one of disgust.
"Dear Lee, what's the matter?"
The doctor who arrived was named Li, and he was the head of the remaining Chinese doctors at the hospital. Serri had initially stated that a rotating shift system would be implemented for the safety of the medical staff and to avoid wasting resources. All the Chinese staff in the hospital were assigned to the first shift, and now it was well past their shift change, with no one to relieve them. The doctors and nurses were already overworked, exhausted, and complaining bitterly.
Dr. Li, the team leader, had repeatedly approached Serri, urging him to send a second shift quickly. However, Serri consistently excused him, citing the outbreak and the hospital's closure, and refused to discuss the shifts. Dr. Li sought Serri's advice whenever he could, but Serri seemed to be avoiding him, often disappearing. Today, he spotted Serri in the hallway, prompting Dr. Li to rush over.
"Director, these twenty of us medical staff have been working for 36 hours straight. Including the time before the hospital closed, most of us have been working for over 80 hours straight. We need to rest and go home to see our families! Director, you promised us that you would arrange for replacements even if the hospital closed. Why are you saying now that the epidemic is serious and you can't find anyone?"
"How things have unfolded has exceeded my expectations, Li. Who could have imagined that those doctors and nurses would resign at this time? You have to know that we are a private hospital, and the turnover of doctors and nurses is very high. I can't stop them from leaving. Alas, St. Vlad has suffered too much loss this time, with a large number of employees leaving. I'm afraid we will have to close for a while after the epidemic is over."
