Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 2004: Frightened
Senior Zhu also liked to joke around. Xie Wanying smiled, showing her teeth, and said, "When Senior Cao buys things for everyone, he always buys extra."
"Oh, you’re speaking up for him, do you know him well?" Zhu Huicang deliberately asked her, then turned to see where Cao Yong went.
Senior Cao, like her childhood friend, was very considerate and meticulous in everything he did. Xie Wanying didn’t think she was intentionally praising her senior.
"He went to get you medicinal wine." Zhu Huicang noticed that Cao Yong was heading towards the medicine cabinet in the kitchen and remembered their conversation at the door before asking her, "How did you hurt your knee?"
"There was a car accident last night."
What!
All three of them were shocked by her truthful words.
Li Xiaobing rubbed her hand on her chest.
Zhu Huicang patted his wife’s back and said, "She’s fine. If something happened to her, would she be sitting here?"
"I know, but she scared me just now," Li Xiaobing said.
Xie Wanying repeatedly apologized to her senior sister for the fright.
Cao Yong came back carrying a medicine box, stood in front her, and said, "Let me see, where’s the injury?"
Not letting the seniors see the injury might make everyone uneasy. Xie Wanying rolled up her left pant leg.
The others carefully looked at her wound; it wasn’t serious, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yingying, I have to criticize you a bit. Do you know why you keep getting into trouble every few days?" Zhu Huicang adjusted his glasses and prepared to give the junior sister a little lecture.
"Is it just bad luck?" Xie Wanying thought about it herself.
"She just works harder than others," Li Xiaobing spoke up for her, countering her husband.
There’s nothing much to discuss about this; nobody wants accidents.
So Cao Yong said nothing, grabbed a small stool to sit in front of her, poured some medicinal wine into his palm, and carefully avoided the broken skin as he rubbed her bruised knee.
Even though Senior Cao wasn’t in orthopedics, his skilled technique showed he had been an outstanding student in every department he went through, Xie Wanying thought.
After applying the medicine, Li Xiaobing urged her to eat: "You need to eat even more after a fall, to replenish your body."
Xie Wanying picked up a bun, took a couple of bites, and asked her seniors, "Have you all eaten?"
"Your Senior Cao hasn’t eaten yet. I guess he got your call and decided to wait for you to arrive before eating," Zhu Huicang told her.
Xie Wanying heard this and immediately put her untouched bowl of porridge in front of Cao Yong’s seat.
After tidying up and washing her hands, she came back to find Cao Yong smiling wryly at the spoon she had prepared for him: "I drank milk before leaving, so I won’t have the porridge."
The well-prepared boss was just like her, always anticipating needs. Like Senior Cao keeping cartons of milk in his car, similar to Teacher Fu who did the same, keeping milk to cope with skipping meals due to emergency surgeries. Only fellow doctors truly understood these habits.
"What did you need from Senior Cao?" Zhu Huicang sat down again to ask her about the call to Cao Yong that morning.
Xie Wanying then carefully explained Doctor Hu’s situation to her seniors present.
After hearing the whole story, everyone’s facial expressions varied.
Remembering what he’d heard earlier, Zhu Huicang asked Cao Yong: "They said you insisted on informing Beidou Third Hospital."
Denying it was useless; it was the truth. Cao Yong saw no need to clarify.
