Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 91 - : He came back 2

Chapter 91: He came back 2

“Are you going home now?” Ren Chongda asked.

“No, I’m heading to the hospital first to check things out.” Cao Yong said this in passing, to inform the driver and Xiao Du.

Ren Chongda was taken aback, “You’re not going home first but to the hospital? Why?”

When had the heartthrob, old classmate, turned into a workaholic? Ren Chongda had never heard such a thing. Because Handsome Cao was not the working type but the practical, effortlessly cool type, with strong capabilities. He always believed that a doctor’s work and leisure time must be well-coordinated to be sustainable.

Cao Yong found it difficult to answer his question, his mind preoccupied with the conversation he had seen on the chat group the other day: was she going to visit the hospital for an internship today?

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been back. I don’t know what the hospital is like now, so I thought I’d check out the department first,” Cao Yong eventually said.

...

“The hospital hasn’t changed. The new building for your surgery department isn’t finished yet, so no one has moved,” Ren Chongda informed him.

“Let’s meet tomorrow. You haven’t gone back to your hometown anyway.” With that, Cao Yong seemed tired and hung up the phone.

Ren Chongda thought for a moment and realized something was off. Handsome Cao couldn’t possibly be unaware of the hospital’s situation; even if he was abroad, he would have surely kept in touch with his department.

There was only one possibility left. Could it be? Ren Chongda thought. If his old classmate’s first phone call was to him, it was indeed possible. After all, Xie Wanying did not have a cell phone.

The image of Handsome Cao standing in the college snack street, staring blankly at someone, resurfaced in Ren Chongda’s mind. He scratched his head.

After ending the call with his old classmate, Cao Yong realized that he had dialed the wrong number. He should have called Huang Zhilei directly, so he dialed Huang Zhilei’s cell phone.

“Senior brother?!” Huang Zhilei was overjoyed to receive his call.

“I’m back. Are you at the hospital?”

“Yes, I’m on duty for the inpatients.”

“Okay, come down to meet me when I arrive, and we’ll go to the department together.”

Huang Zhilei chattered excitedly like a little sparrow, “Senior brother, it’s perfect timing. Tonight, we have a junior sister coming to our department for an internship.”

Knowing who he was talking about, Cao Yong’s lips curled up slightly, revealing dimples with a smile.

Ninth floor, Neurosurgery Department

At this moment, Xie Wanying, who had started her rounds at six, was slowly examining patients, and it was already past nine in the evening. Her senior brother had gone to another department and hadn’t returned. She had only seen three patients so far.

On the other hand, Doctor Wang had finished rounds with the medical students early on and had no special cases to handle for the time being. While idling in the doctor’s office, they worked on electronic medical records and dealt with other matters.

With the teacher like this, the group of medical students had nothing to do either. They too stayed in the doctor’s office, doing their own things, with some chatting and others studying. Finally, someone remembered it was New Year’s Eve, deciding to call a friend for a chat.

The nurses were busy as usual, but fortunately, that evening, the general populace had all gone home for the reunion dinner. During the New Year, unless there was an especially critical condition, people tended to endure and preferred not to visit the hospital for emergency treatment during the transition into the new year, as it was considered bad luck.

It wasn’t until after ten o’clock in the evening that someone made a call to the nurse’s station.

Xie Wanying, who had taken a turn out of the ward, was heading back to the office to check the electronic medical records of the three patients she had studied, and she passed by the nurse’s station.

She overheard the nurse on duty inquiring over the phone, “Emergency patient? What kind of patient? Our on-duty doctor tonight is Doctor Wang. Ah, a patient designated by Director Lv; does Doctor Wang know?”
