Chapter 457 - Chapter 457 【457】The child got into trouble

Chapter 457: [(457)] The child got into trouble Chapter 457: [(457)] The child got into trouble With this promise, Father Yazhi held her hand gratefully, “Thank you, Dr. Xie. Without you, we would not know what to do.”

After assuring the patient’s family, the next morning, Xie Wanying reported the situation to Teacher Sun, received approval, and arrived early at the department to accompany the child to the operating room.

Once the door of the operating room closed, Father Yazhi sat outside, gazing longingly.

Guided by the sister doctor, Xiao Yazhi entered the mysterious area of the operating room. This child was a fully-fledged curious baby, unlike other children who cried terribly upon their arrival, her little head kept looking around without a pause, as if searching for some treasure.

“Wait for sister,” Xie Wanying instructed the child. She went to the changing room, put on surgical scrubs, a surgical cap, hung a mask around her neck, slipped on operating room footwear, came out, and then straightened out the patient’s gown for the child.

As she stepped out of the changing room, a call came through on the department phone, so Xie Wanying took out her mobile to listen.

“Let Doctor Zhang wait, there’s been a bit of an issue in the department, we need to delay our arrival at the operating room,” Sun Yubo was instructing another student on the other end.

Following Teacher Sun’s direction, Xie Wanying took the child first to the anesthesiologist’s office. Doctor Zhang was the only person left in the office, so Xie Wanying went to explain the situation.

“Did the ward say when they would be coming down?” Doctor Zhang asked, already prepped to administer anesthesia to the young patient and was therefore in a bad mood.

In reality, Doctor Zhang’s workload had lessened. With Xie Wanying taking the child to the operating room early to personally take care of them, he did not need to soothe the child, being the anesthesiologist. He had superb skills and could wait until almost the time to leave for administering the anesthesia. However, with this notice from the ward, his work could have started earlier but now he would have to finish late.

Understanding the anesthetist’s frustration caused by the delay, Xie Wanying defended the ward staff, “It’s probably some other sudden issues, not something the teachers themselves have caused. I hope you can understand, Doctor Zhang.”

Doctor Zhang put on an icy, angry face, ignoring her well-meant words completely.

While uncle and sister were talking, Yazhi’s little eyes spotted something protruding from uncle’s pocket, about to fall out. Her small hand reached out involuntarily, wanting to help uncle by touching his pocket.

But then, with a click, her little hand did not assist; instead, an object fell from uncle’s pocket straight onto the tiled floor.

Doctor Zhang and Xie Wanying both looked down at the floor at that moment.

“I’m sorry, Doctor Zhang, I will pick it up for you,” Xie Wanying hurriedly crouched down to pick up the object from the floor, worried that the discontented Doctor Zhang might scold the overly helpful child.

What lay on the floor was a brown paper envelope, slightly bulging with something inside.

Seeing her picking it up, Doctor Zhang’s face turned a dark shade, he reached out and yanked her away, “Get away from me!”

Xie Wanying had no choice but to step back two paces, her mind going blank: What’s happening?

He bent down quickly and picked up the envelope himself, glaring intensely at Yazhi’s little face.

Yazhi’s innocent eyes met the doctor uncle’s gaze: Yazhi just wanted to help, uncle.

Having been glared at by uncle, she could only clutch tightly to the sister doctor’s clothes.

This movement of the child was seen by Doctor Zhang, who turned his head, shouting loudly at Xie Wanying, “Is it you who taught her?!”

“No, Doctor Zhang,” Xie Wanying firmly denied.
