“I really didn’t teach her that.” Xie Wanying clarified earnestly, “The child may have just been curious. At this stage, children exhibit this characteristic, Doctor Zhang, as a doctor, you know that.”

“I don’t know. I only know that she could only have learned it from you.” Doctor Zhang spat out each word through clenched teeth, as though squeezing them through the gaps.

His teeth were clenched, perhaps because he bore a grudge from a past conflict with her. Xie Wanying thought it best not to exacerbate the situation. It wouldn’t do to affect his mood when he was to administer anesthesia to her patient.

Seeing that she was no longer talking back, Doctor Zhang snorted through his nostrils and put the envelope back in his pocket, taking the medical records he said, “I’m going to rest now. Call me once everything is ready. No telling how long the surgery will last.”

As she watched him walk away, Xie Wanying turned to comfort the little one, “You weren’t scared by the uncle, were you, Yazhi?”

Xiao Yazhi shook her little head. Among all the doctors she knew, the first one who almost brought her to tears was Uncle Tan. After she stopped being afraid of Uncle Tan, there wasn’t much to fear from anyone else. Especially with the gentle Doctor sister present.

Actually, this child was quite strong, Xie Wanying thought, much braver than many other children. After all, in the corridor outside, with subsequent patients arriving one after another, the cries of children began to rise.

The doors to the operating room opened, and more and more doctors came in, gradually discovering a new situation:

“Wow, how many kids do we have today?”

There were more little ones in for surgery early today. Usually, it might be one or two a day, but today there were four or five gathered.

Domestic patients in pediatrics were under fourteen years old.

If a child under fourteen had physical development close to an adult’s, they were treated as an adult.

Since Guoxie’s pediatric surgery department wasn’t yet established, seriously ill children would generally be referred to Shou’er Children’s Specialty Hospital. The children taken in there usually had milder conditions, and they were not typically scheduled for the first surgery early in the morning. Because operating rooms try to arrange major surgeries first thing; otherwise, the doctors wouldn’t finish in time.

This morning, all five pediatric surgeries were major, a rather unusual situation for the operating room.

The anesthesiologists were the most vexed, having to cajole the children. Of course, not all children needed to be coaxed. Among the five, a five-year-old boy was crying the most fiercely. Another little girl who was brought in started wailing too when she saw someone else crying, a tiny four-year-old sprout.

The other three children. One boy lay on the gurney, eight years old, listening to his younger siblings cry, expressionless, with a thick bandage around his head that was a bit bloody — a neurosurgery patient.

Another girl, a bit older at eleven, lay on the gurney wearing a mask and breathing oxygen, her complexion pale and lips a bit bluish, her condition unknown.

The children’s crying made the operating room feel a bit like a kindergarten.

“Let’s quiet these kids down quickly,” a group of doctors and nurses tried to figure out.

The operating room needed to be quiet and solemn; the children’s crying was not ideal and could also affect the mood of other adults awaiting surgery.

Yazhi, who had walked out of the office with Xie Wanying, suddenly put a little finger to her mouth as if her little belly was hungry.

“What is it, did you see someone eating something?” Xie Wanying asked the child. Children are like that, their mouths water at the sight of someone else eating.
