Chapter 260 Abnormal Reaction
Xu Nuo and Wang Fang followed Ling Sheng into the office. Wang Fang chose a seat by the window, while Xu Nuo noticed that there was an empty seat next to Lin Ya, so he quickly walked over and sat next to her.
Lin Ya was looking down at her notebook and didn't look up when she heard the noise around her.
Ling Sheng sat at the end of the table, looked around, and after confirming that everyone was present, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's start today's morning meeting."
The first item is the routine shift handover report.
The doctors on duty spoke in turn, and Ling Sheng wrote down the key points in his notebook from time to time.
When the last doctor finished his report, he looked up and concluded, "The condition of the patient in bed 3 yesterday requires special attention. During the ward rounds today, we must focus on checking his various indicators."
Then, Ling Sheng took out a thick English medical monograph from his briefcase. The gold-embossed English title on the dark blue cover sparkled under the light.
"The hospital has recently issued a notice," he patted the cover of the book gently, "requiring all departments to strengthen their professional theoretical studies. This book is the latest publication by Johns Hopkins Press. I flipped through it yesterday and found that a large part of its content is very suitable for our study. From today on, every doctor in our department is requested to study the content carefully and improve their professional quality."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng, who was closest to him, immediately said, "Director Ling, aren't you making things difficult for us? The book in your hand is an original English book, right? You studied abroad and are fluent in English, but we... we don't know anything."
Ling Sheng nodded slightly: "I have thought about this question. When I got the book last week, I had already started translating a part of it, but because my work schedule was too full, my translation progress was too slow. But it doesn't matter, I will print out the translated content and send it to you for your study first. As for the rest..."
He paused and looked at Lin Ya: "Doctor Lin, you have also studied abroad and majored in medicine. Can you help with this translation work?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, but Lin Ya lowered her head, the pen in her hand unconsciously drawing circles on the notebook, as if she didn't hear the question at all.
The sunlight shone on her pale face, and faint dark circles were faintly visible under her eyes.
"Lin Ya?" Ling Sheng called again, with a puzzled tone in his voice.
Xu Nuo noticed Lin Ya's abnormality and gently touched her arm.
Lin Ya shuddered suddenly, raised her head as if waking up from a dream, and looked at Xu Nuo with confused eyes.
"Director Ling is asking you a question," Xu Nuo reminded in a low voice, "asking if you are willing to help translate that book."
Lin Ya came back to her senses and turned to Ling Sheng hurriedly: "Ah, sure, sure!"
Ling Sheng looked at her thoughtfully, nodded and handed the book over: "Thank you for your hard work. If you have any difficulties, please tell me at any time."
"Okay, okay." Lin Ya took the book and continued to lower her head and stare at the notebook.
Ling Sheng's gaze stayed on Lin Ya's face for two more seconds before moving on to the next topic.
After the morning meeting, everyone got up and left the office to go about their own business.
Xu Nuo was about to leave when she noticed that Lin Ya was packing her things slowly and looked listless.
"Lin Ya?" Xu Nuo gently pressed her shoulders. "You look bad. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to lie down in the lounge for a while?"
Lin Ya's eyelashes trembled twice, and she forced a smile: "Ah? No... I'm fine."
Seeing that she seemed to be refusing to communicate, Xu Nuo didn't dare to ask any further questions.
When he stood up and left, he said to her: "Lin Ya, if you encounter any difficulties, or if you need any help, just tell me."
No matter what her impression of Lin Ya is, she is the sister of Lu Chen's friend. If something really happens to Lin Ya, Lu Chen will not sit idly by.
Lin Ya was stunned for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and finally she just whispered thank you: "...Thank you."
Xu Nuo smiled lightly and said, "You're welcome."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a child who needed emergency surgery was transferred to the pediatric department. When Lin Ya was giving medical instructions, she almost missed the key coagulation function test.
"Doctor Lin." Ling Sheng knocked on the table at the nurse station. The sound was not loud but it instantly quieted the surroundings. "Why are there no four coagulation tests for bed 3's preoperative examination?"
Lin Ya was stunned for a moment, with a trace of annoyance in her eyes. Soon, she said, "I'm sorry, Director Ling. I'll make it up right away."
Ling Sheng took the medical record and looked through it carefully, frowning more and more: "Even such a basic examination could be missed?"
Lin Ya lowered her head slightly and said nothing. Ling Sheng closed the medical record and stared at her for a while: "Has anything happened to you recently? Or did you not get enough rest? Such a low-level mistake should not be made! We are doctors and we are responsible for the lives of our patients."
"I'm sorry, I will be more careful next time." Lin Ya apologized again.
"Go ahead."
After Lin Ya left, Ling Sheng turned around and asked the nurse behind him: "Doctor Lin has been in this state recently?"
The nurses all shook their heads and said, "No, it seems to be today."
"But Dr. Lin doesn't seem very happy every day. He always has a stern face."
"This is a top student. If I had her ability, I would be so happy every day that I can't stop smiling."
Ling Sheng listened to a few words and turned and left without saying anything else.
At the end of the get off work day, Lin Ya mechanically tidied up her desk and prepared to leave.
Just as she picked up her coat, she heard familiar footsteps behind her.
"You don't have any excuses to refuse today, right?" Ling Sheng leaned against the door frame, his white coat already taken off, revealing a blue and white striped shirt. "Come to my house for dinner tonight. You rejected my invitation last time, but you can't refuse this time. My mom said she hasn't seen you for a long time and she misses you very much. She hopes to see you and sit down together to reminisce about the past."
Lin Ya opened her mouth to refuse, but in the end, the words of refusal did not come out.
"Okay." Lin Ya agreed, "Let's go today."
When Ling Sheng saw her nod in agreement, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
While helping her pick up her coat that was on the back of the chair, he said softly, "My mother doesn't know you're coming yet. She'll be so happy to see you later. But before that, would you like to go to the market with me to buy some vegetables?"
Hearing this, Lin Ya's mouth curled up slightly: "Of course I am willing. I should bring gifts when visiting Aunt Qin, and I can't go empty-handed."
Her voice finally had some lightness to it, as if she had temporarily put aside her worries.
The late spring evening breeze carried the scent of locust flowers as they walked home along the tree-lined avenue.
Ling Sheng carried a heavy net bag filled with pineapples, eggs, sesame cakes wrapped in oil paper, fresh vegetables, and the tea that Lin Ya insisted on buying.
Lin Ya walked with Ling Sheng, carrying a carp and two pounds of pork ribs. She smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air and listened to the crisp and pleasant ringing of bicycle bells in the street. Only then did she feel that she was alive at this moment, not a cold zombie.
She likes this feeling and is attached to this kind of life, but unfortunately... she is not destined to have this kind of life, and everything here is destined not to belong to her.
Back at the hospital's family quarters, Ling Sheng took her to the second floor.
After opening the door with the key and entering the house, Ling Sheng saw the setting sun shining obliquely on the balcony. Qin Huayun was sitting in the sun, looking down at a yellowed photo album.
"Mom, look who's here to see you?" Ling Sheng shouted with a smile.
Qin Huayun closed the photo album, looked up, and the moment she saw Lin Ya, her brain had not yet reacted.
"Aunt Qin, I'm Jian Ya!" Lin Ya said with a smile.
Snap——
The photo album fell to the ground, Qin Huayun stood up and walked towards Lin Ya.
