The tone was urgent.
Xiang Yiqing agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
After hanging up, he drove to the next intersection and imdiately made a U-turn.
When Xiang Yiqing arrived at the hospital, he saw Qiu Yang pacing anxiously outside their clinic. He quickened his steps to approach her, "You should hurry back."
Upon seeing him, Qiu Yang’s eyes lit up and she stepped forward, "I’ll handle things at ho and co back."
She stuffed a few dical records into Xiang Yiqing’s hand, "Here are the cases of those two severe pneumonia patients. Please keep an eye on them."
"Okay." Xiang Yiqing nodded, then added, "No need to co back, just co tomorrow morning. I’ll cover your shift tonight."
Their ho was in the old town. Even without traffic, it would take an hour to go back and forth. If she had to deal with things at ho, it would likely be late at night by the ti she returned.
Qiu Yang shook her head with a smile, "It’s fine, I’ll be back soon."
Xiang Yiqing said, "No need to be polite, consider it repaynt for the patients you registered for today."
Seeing his insistence, Qiu Yang had no choice but to nod, "Alright then, I’ll co early tomorrow."
"Okay."
Xiang Yiqing nodded as Qiu Yang turned and hurried away.
After watching her leave for a bit, Xiang Yiqing lowered his head to flip through the two dical records in his hand, understanding the condition of the critical patients.
After carefully reviewing them, he went to check on the wards with the nurse on duty.
This kind of matter couldn’t be taken lightly. Pneumonia could be serious, especially when coupled with a fever; they could beco critical at any mont.
After so hectic work, more than an hour had passed.
Xiang Yiqing returned to the clinic, poured himself a cup of hot water, and sat down. His gaze unintentionally swept over a small sticker on the lower right corner of the computer’s fra.
Xin Xiaoxiao!!!
Only then did he rember that he had asked Xin Xiaoxiao to wait for him at his seaside villa.
Damn, in the rush, he had completely forgotten about it.
Xiang Yiqing, feeling guilty, picked up his phone and dialed Xin Xiaoxiao’s number.
"What exactly..."
Xin Xiaoxiao answered the call, but before she could finish her impatient remark, Xiang Yiqing urgently interrupted her with apologies, "Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry, Qiu Yang’s house had a water pipe burst, and the property managent called her. She went ho to deal with it and asked to cover her shift. I was in such a hurry that I forgot about you."
He didn’t think too much and spoke the truth.
’Ha,’ Xin Xiaoxiao laughed, "Good thing I was just joking with you. I was worried you might actually co to find , being uncertain about whether to go find you."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yiqing felt a bit relieved and yet an indescribable discomfort.
He asked softly, "So you’re at ho now?"
Xin Xiaoxiao replied casually, "I’m out having fun with friends, can’t talk long as my friends find annoying for being on a call."
As she finished speaking, the sound of car horns on the other end confird she was outside.
Xiang Yiqing pressed his lips together, speaking in a low voice, "Get ho early."
"Got it, got it, you’re naggy."
’Snap.’
Hanging up the call, Xin Xiaoxiao fiercely threw her phone towards the flower bed two ters away, causing the screen to shatter upon impact.
Then she turned around, facing the sea, raised her head to sniff, and cursed softly, "Big jerk! Big liar!"
...
Xin Xiaoxiao was the one who ended the call. Hearing the busy tone ’beep beep’, Xiang Yiqing only then removed the phone from his ear.
Watching the screen gradually dim, he put down the phone, lifted his head, and his gaze unintentionally swept over the sticker at the lower right corner of the computer again.
