Looking at Gu Zheng’s serious expression, Li Jing’s lips curled into a gentle smile: "If Chairman Gu is not busy, please wait for . I have another patient to attend to. I can speak to Chairman Gu about Wanwan’s situation these past two days afterwards."
Gu Zheng hesitated for a mont, then nodded in agreent, and got on the elevator with Li Jing.
Pressing the elevator button, Li Jing looked calmly at Gu Zheng and said, "Then, I trouble Chairman Gu to wait for in the office. This patient has a persistent high fever and may require so ti."
"I understand," Gu Zheng said, "but I hope Director Li can give a satisfactory explanation afterward."
Li Jing smiled, showing no dissatisfaction with Gu Zheng’s bad temper. It seed that no matter when, he maintained this good temperant.
For a mont, Gu Zheng even felt a trace of doubt toward this always gentle young man.
Is it genuinely his nature, or is it due to professional duty?
Or perhaps, is it for sothing else?
In the quiet ward, Li Jing, wearing a white coat, pushed open the door and entered.
A pale-faced woman lay on the hospital bed. Despite being over thirty, her skin was still as smooth as a young girl’s.
Li Jing discreetly pursed his lips slightly, ca to the bedside, and asked about the situation briefly. Then he reached out to touch the woman’s forehead on the bed, "Why hasn’t she been given an IV?"
The nurse sighed, "She was supposed to get an IV this morning, but she insisted on waiting for Director Li to arrive and wouldn’t cooperate."
Li Jing is very popular both among colleagues and patients.
However, being so popular is sotis not a good thing.
Like now, if the woman on the bed doesn’t receive treatnt, it may cause other complications.
Li Jing sighed, called for soone to prepare the IV equipnt, then ca to the bedside and looked at the woman on the bed, saying, "Miss Chen, continuing like this is very detrintal to your condition."
The woman on the bed smiled faintly in her daze, "Isn’t dying good too? At least before dying, I can see the people I want to see one last ti."
Li Jing stood still, the sunlight poured in from outside the window, blurring the expression on his face.
"Miss Chen, it’s not good to think this way. So long as you’re alive, there’s hope."
The woman on the bed smiled and closed her eyes silently.
Perhaps she was very tired, or maybe her fever clouded her mind. Only after Li Jing helped her with the IV, and the nurse left, leaving only the two of them, did she once again slowly open her eyes: "Why haven’t you left?"
Li Jing seed slightly amused as he looked at her, "Do you really want to leave?"
The woman on the bed looked at him, "Aren’t you busy? You haven’t visited these past two days."
Li Jing curved his lips slightly, "Your condition is stable now. You can be discharged in another half month. Besides, if you feel unwell, you can always call the nurse to find . There’s no need to tornt yourself like this. You have to love yourself first before loving others."
His tone was sowhat strange, unlike the gentle detachnt when speaking to a patient with nurses around earlier, carrying so inexplicable intimacy.
Cold liquid slowly flowed into the veins, but the woman’s eyes on the bed burned as if aiming to pierce through Li Jing: "Doctor Li, these words might deceive others, but not ! After all... I am your ex-girlfriend, aren’t I?"
Upon her words, a subtle shift passed through Li Jing’s eyes: "It’s all in the past, Chen Jiayao. We have ended, and it’s ti to look forward."
The woman on the bed smiled wryly, "Li Jing, I really don’t understand. Do I really make you that disgusted? Even today, you refuse to glance at ?"
Li Jing stood still, looking at the woman who was once with him, his voice as calm as a tranquil lake: "Miss Chen seems to have a poor mory. Did Miss Chen forget what Miss Chen did to when I just graduated?"
The woman on the bed turned her head aside, her pale side profile looking especially heart-wrenching: "I was angry at that ti. Why can’t you forgive ? I have beco like this, isn’t that enough for you?"
Li Jing didn’t speak, the sunlight falling on them highlighted their identities starkly at the mont.
After an unknown amount of ti, Li Jing’s crisp voice sounded in the woman’s ear: "Miss Chen, just because you fell ill, does that an others must unconditionally forgive the mistakes you made? If it were that simple, wouldn’t those murderers in prison just need to fall severely ill for the victims’ families to pity them and say ’it’s okay’? Chen Jiayao, you know what I dislike the most is soone playing the victim before . If you have forgotten this, I don’t mind reminding you again now. Playing the victim only makes loathe it more, Miss Chen, you might as well save your energy!"
"You..." The woman on the bed seed unprepared for such an answer, her already painful condition exacerbated further: "Li Jing, are you so ruthless! Am I not even comparable to the ntally ill person downstairs?"
Even nurses have ntioned lately how Li Jing has been particularly attentive to Gu Wanwan downstairs, a murderer, why she can earn Li Jing’s favor while she, rely having committed a youthful folly, is treated this way by Li Jing. Why?
Even without a youthful body, she should not lose to a crazed murderer!
Unexpectedly, Li Jing smiled faintly, leaned down gently, and swept her ssy long hair aside: "Yes! You indeed aren’t as good as her. At least... she listens."
A person who has gone mad can far more capture his favor than the woman on the hospital bed.
Moreover, even the yet-to-be-clearly-aware Gu Wanwan drives his desire to tornt irresistibly!
Compared to this pleasure, what is the little sweetness from past love worth?
"Li Jing!" The woman on the bed seed enraged by his words, gripping the blanket until it creased.
Li Jing looked at her in such a state, feeling a bit better: "Miss Chen, rest well! Stick to the IV and dication regin, maintain a good mood, maybe you’ll be discharged soon."
"I have other matters, Miss Chen, rest well!"
Once he finished speaking, Li Jing left the ward without looking back.
No matter how the woman on the bed called after him, he did not stop anymore.
At this point, perhaps Chen Jiayao did not know that Li Jing’s coldness essentially equated to letting her off.
The ward door closed, Li Jing glanced back at the number above the ward, and walked briskly toward the elevator.
