"The chief just had to step out for a mont, how about I do the examination for you."
The female doctor seed a bit uneasy, as if afraid that Elly Campbell might not trust her skills, and said:
"I’m a dical student who returned from Harvard, and I’ve interned for a period in the obstetrics and gynecology departnt of a foreign hospital. You can trust ."
Elly Campbell heard the uneasiness and eagerness for approval in the young female doctor’s tone, reminding her of herself when she first graduated.
Hearing that she graduated from Harvard, she could be considered her junior.
Fearing that refusing might damage the girl’s confidence, and considering that a gynecology examination didn’t require particularly challenging skills, Elly didn’t mind and simply agreed.
She lay on the examination bed, and within a few minutes, she started feeling drowsy.
In a daze, she saw the female doctor smile at her, a smile that inexplicably made her heart pound.
Before she could react further, she fell into a deep sleep.
"Dr. Campbell? Dr. Campbell?"
Elly heard soone calling her beside her ear, trying hard to open her eyes, but it seed very difficult.
It was unclear whether it was reality or a dream.
And what was with that female intern doctor with the sinister smile?
"Elly? Wake up, Elly?"
She was familiar with this voice; it was Chief Wood.
She felt soone gently pushing her, and she finally groggily opened her eyes.
In her view were Chief Wood from the gynecology departnt and that intern doctor.
Elly was montarily stunned, a trace of confusion in her eyes.
"Elly, are you okay?"
Chief Wood’s concerned voice pulled Elly back from her bewildernt.
"What happened to you, it’s just an examination, how did you fall asleep?"
Chief Wood reached out to touch her forehead, "No fever either."
Elly also felt baffled, her gaze, thoughtfully lingering on the intern doctor, saw her with wide, questioning eyes, looking at her.
Clear eyes, bright and sincere.
Thinking of that heart-pounding smile she saw before falling asleep, she began to fall into doubt.
Was it her illusion? Or... did the intern doctor do sothing?
With all the recent events, Elly couldn’t afford to overlook any suspicious detail.
Reining in her scrutiny of the intern, she kept her composure and said:
"I fell asleep?"
"You didn’t know?"
Chief Wood looked at her in surprise, "When I ca in, I saw Turner examining you, and seeing you unresponsive gave quite a shock."
"Yeah, Dr. Campbell, if Chief Wood hadn’t co by, I wouldn’t have noticed you fell asleep, no wonder there wasn’t a sound."
Dr. Turner chid in from the side.
Chief Wood, a bit concerned, asked, "Didn’t you sleep well? I heard from Turner you were only in here for two or three minutes, how could you fall asleep, I called you several tis but got no response."
Listening to Chief Wood’s words, Elly’s suspicions deepened, but she maintained her expression.
She wasn’t naturally a sleepy person, and even if she hadn’t slept well the previous night, she usually wouldn’t feel sleepy during the day, let alone fall asleep so quickly.
Involuntarily, she recalled the smile she saw before she fell asleep, which gave her a sense of unease.
Was it an illusion, or real?
She didn’t voice her inner thoughts, but simply told Chief Wood:
"It’s nothing, maybe I haven’t been sleeping well these past few days, getting drowsy easily."
