“You guys think she still cares about Captain Lin? Otherwise, why would she look at his wife like that?”
“Of course, but if you ask me, Captain Lin’s wife is gentle and beautiful. She’s definitely more elegant than Miao Xing; it’s no wonder Captain Lin didn’t choose her.”
“Hey, I saw Captain Lin’s wife’s dress last week at that department store in town; it’s quite expensive. I wonder if Captain Lin bought it for her. Just now, as I watched him looking at his wife, his gaze was so gentle. Their relationship must be really good, unlike Miao Xing. Since Vice Captain Zhang got married, he hasn’t picked her up again, right? It’s not like she just married the Vice Captain. She walks around like she’s the queen and everyone else is beneath her. Last time, it was clearly our workload, but she didn’t want to do it and complained that I did it poorly. It’s infuriating.”
“Alright, stop talking. It’d be better to go check on the patients in the ward during this time.” The head nurse, although she found Miao Xing’s increasingly strange temperament hard to tolerate, disliked gossiping behind people’s backs. She stood up, preparing to leave.
“Exactly, Miao Xing is completely overshadowed by Captain Lin’s wife. I saw that look in her eyes just now; it was clearly jealousy.”
As the head nurse opened the door, Miao Xing stood exposed to everyone’s gaze outside.
The atmosphere in the room immediately fell silent.
Miao Xing was shaking with anger, her long-suppressed feelings of jealousy being pulled to the surface, causing her to lose all rationality.
“I can’t compare to her?”
“A rural woman who only went through elementary school and has never worked since she got married—am I really inferior to her?”
“Do you guys think this is still the old society? Just getting married and enjoying life at home? At least I’m a nurse, but He Xuezhun is at most a rural woman with no skills. In reality, she can’t compare to me at all!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly sounded from outside. Everyone instinctively turned to look, where they saw a doctor in a white coat outside, clutching his chest and convulsing on the ground.
The head nurse was startled and rushed over, “Director Wang? Director Wang?!”
“Quick, go call Dr. Liu and the others.”
One nurse hurried to the doctor’s office, looking flustered as she returned, “Dr. Liu and the others aren’t here; they probably went to eat. I’ll go downstairs to find them.”
The head nurse was diligently helping Director Wang breathe easier on the ground, “Quick, you few go get the equipment. He can’t breathe.”
“Uh… uh…”
Director Wang couldn’t breathe at all, his face turned beet red as he lay on the ground in pain, clutching his chest tightly. The surrounding chaos was palpable, and most doctors were downstairs eating. They probably wouldn’t make it in time when called.
People in the nearby hospital rooms heard the commotion and opened their doors. He Xuezhun was smiling, sitting beside her husband, listening to him talk about amusing stories from the army when Lin Shiheng suddenly looked up, “Is there something going on outside?”
“I’ll go take a look.”
He Xuezhun got up and opened the door, immediately witnessing the chaotic scene.
She was startled and suddenly remembered a symptom from a medical book she had read that morning, which matched this situation exactly. If not treated quickly, the person would surely suffocate.
Without considering anything else, He Xuezhun rushed forward, pressing down hard on an acupoint as taught in the medical book, and then forcefully hit his back.
“Cough cough cough…”
Director Wang coughed several times with effort, finally able to breathe again. The redness in his face gradually faded as he gasped for air.
“Alright, it’s fine now. Quickly let him stand and walk a bit; the more he moves, the faster he can breathe normally.”
The head nurse hurried to support Director Wang to his feet. He was still trying to catch his breath when he weakly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, thank you…”
“You’re welcome, it’s fine. Just walk back and forth in the corridor,” He Xuezhun said, feeling extremely excited. This was the first time she had saved someone with her learned ability, not just a minor incident like twisting an ankle, but actually saving a life.
When she finally registered what had just happened and thought to stand up, she realized her legs were weak.
“Here.” A gentle voice came from behind. He Xuezhun turned to see Lin Shiheng kindly helping her up, his eyes filled with surprise and pride, “Xuezhun, you were amazing.”
If He Xuezhun had only felt excitement before, now, receiving her husband’s praise, she completely relaxed.
Did she really save a life?
Nearby, a group of nurses who had rushed to bring the equipment and found it unnecessary gazed at He Xuezhun with bright eyes, full of admiration, “Are you a doctor? You’re really amazing.”
He Xuezhun’s face turned red as she quickly waved her hands, “No, no…”
“Yes, Xuezhun’s father is a doctor. She’s very smart and quickly picks up things. She’s currently studying medical books and planning to continue her education.”
“Wow!! She’ll definitely be an outstanding doctor in the future!”
“Yeah, that was really impressive just now.”
“Will you come work at our hospital in the future? That way, you’ll be closer to Captain Lin!”
Under the adoring glances of the group of nurses and surrounded by their animated compliments, He Xuezhun felt a tinge of embarrassment from her deep-seated insecurity. She looked up to find her husband gazing at her with pride.
Shiheng… is he proud of her?
Feeling reassured, she leaned more into her husband’s embrace.
Lin Shiheng wrapped his arm around his wife and smiled, “We’ll see what Xuezhun decides. I absolutely won’t hold her back; this isn’t just any skill. It’s one that saves lives, and we can’t take it lightly.”
