Chapter 169: Chapter 169: So It’s Mr. Jiang
Cough, cough.
His face felt slightly feverish, not wanting to be teased any longer, he hurriedly took his meal back to the office.
...
The whole night had been relentless.
Patients in the ward would occasionally let out painful cries.
With seven or eight surgical patients just from the hotel incident, one after the other, it was impossible for there to be quiet.
Everyone on the night shift was physically and mentally exhausted to the brink.
Thankfully, dawn had broken.
Just half an hour left until shift change.
And it was only at this time that everyone finally had a chance to relax and take a breath.
"Doctor Lu, are you coming to breakfast?"
"No, I’m not."
He was so sleepy, all he wanted to do was sleep.
He had eaten late last night, and wasn’t very hungry.
"Then we’ll head to the cafeteria first."
"Okay."
After the two little nurses left, Lu Jing lay his head on the office desk and fell asleep in less than three seconds.
Luckily, no patients came to see him afterward.
When he next opened his eyes, his colleagues for the next shift had already arrived.
"Doctor Lu, how late did you work last night?"
Lu Jing sighed,
"Probably until about six-thirty in the morning. What time did you guys leave?"
"We left after two."
That’s pretty good. They’d still been able to go home and get a few comfortable hours of sleep.
The colleagues taking over were two older men who said directly,
"Doctor Lu, why don’t you head home? We’ve got it covered here."
Lu Jing felt a bit embarrassed; this was ultimately taking advantage.
"Ah, no need, it’s almost time."
Just a few minutes left. He had made it through the night; what were a few more minutes?
The two male doctors didn’t insist further and went back to their desks to start reviewing cases.
In those few minutes, Lu Jing dozed off several times, unable to keep his eyes open.
Finally, the end of the shift arrived, marked by the vibration of his alarm clock.
He struggled to open his eyes and started taking off his white coat, getting ready to leave.
Because his back was turned to the door, he didn’t see Jiang Ye’s figure appear right on time at the office entrance.
It was the two male doctors who first noticed him,
"Hey, sir, are you here for a consultation?" they asked.
"No, I’m picking someone up."
Picking someone up?
The two men exchanged glances, wondering who it could be.
Then it dawned on them—at that moment, there were only three people in the entire office. Surely they weren’t here to pick up the two old gents, right?
So that only left Doctor Lu.
Alright, understood.
"Doctor Lu, is this your family?"
Only then did Lu Jing turn around to look. Perhaps because he had been busy all night and his mind was foggy, his response was a bit slow.
"Why are you here?"
"To pick you up."
Jiang Ye had also been up all night, with rescue excavation work going until four in the morning. Afterward, he had reports to write, so he hadn’t planned on sleeping.
As the sky lightened, he left his office.
Of course, Jiang Ye knew very well his wife’s working hours. Unless something unexpected happened, he could usually time it right.
Being in front of colleagues, Lu Jing felt a bit uncomfortable but still made the introductions:
"This is Dr. Ye, and that one is Dr. Gao."
Jiang Ye nodded to the two men, and they responded.
Lu Jing pointed and introduced,
"This is Jiang Ye!"
"Ah, Mr. Jiang?"
"Pleased to meet you."
Now that Lu Jing was ready, Jiang Ye took the initiative to hold his hand, and said to the two male doctors,
"We’ll be leaving first."
"Sure, sure."
...
Leaving the office, Lu Jing struggled several times but couldn’t free himself from the man’s firm grip.
There were people everywhere, and Lu Jing felt very embarrassed.
