Chapter 35: Chapter 35: No, It’s Too Slow (1)_1

"No way." Han Jingnian rejected Zhang Te’s proposal almost without hesitation.

No way? Why not?

Zhang Te continued to plead, "Mr. Han, it’s a female doctor, a female doctor, and she’s one of the best working under Dr. Xie. She surely wouldn’t be much worse than Dr. Xie, right? What do you think, Dr. Xie?"

Xie Lin, looking at Zhang Te, who was earnestly winking at him, reluctantly nodded.

Zhang Te said, "You see, Mr. Han, if Dr. Xie agrees, what else are you worried about? So, Mr. Han, why don’t we get Dr. Xie to call her immediately?"

"No, it’s too slow."

Too slow? Is he implying that calling another doctor to attend to his wife would take too long? If you won’t allow the present doctor to examine her and think calling another one would be too slow, what exactly do you want? Zhang Te was so worried that he lost his appetite for sunflower seeds.

Seeing how her presence had put Zhang Te and Xie Lin in a difficult position, Xia Wan’an felt genuinely sorry. "The injury on my back isn’t so serious anymore. They really don’t have to bother getting another doctor. There are male gynecologists too, after all. Doctors’ duty is to save lives, they don’t differentiate between patients’ genders. I think it would be alright if Dr. Xie just takes a look. Otherwise, I would rather not have any doctor examine me. Besides, I feel that you aren’t being particularly respectful to Dr. Xie..."

The more Xia Wan’an spoke, the more she felt an unusual atmosphere in the room. Especially noticing Zhang Te’s pursed lips, she finally understood that he was hinting her to stop talking.

Had she said something wrong?

Xia Wa’an swallowed the word ’doctor’ midway and turned to look at Han Jingnian.

Before she could fully observe Han Jingnian’s expression, she heard him say, "Xie Lin, I’m sorry."

Did he...did he say sorry?

Xie Lin and Zhang Te opened their eyes wide in surprise, looking at Han Jingnian as if he were a stranger.

Was this really happening? Had the sun risen from the west? Could Mr. Han actually apologize?

Xia Wan’an was also surprised. She was merely trying to defuse the stalled situation by expressing her views and hadn’t expected Han Jingnian to apologize to Dr. Xie...

Now that he had apologized, it could be inferred that he was backing down, right?

Thinking this, Xia Wan’an tried to speak again, "Let me change clothes first, then Dr. Xie can examine me?"

Han Jingnian didn’t say anything but hesitated for a few seconds before nodding lightly.

Zhang Te, watching the situation smoothly resolved by his wife, forgot about his stress, returned to the lady’s side, and resumed snacking on sunflower seeds.

Xia Wan’an quickly changed her clothes. Dr. Xie looked at Xia Wan’an’s back for a moment, then turned to Han Jingnian, "She had been severely injured before and has again hurt herself. I can’t be sure if there is any bone injury by just looking. So, she still needs to go to the hospital with me for a check-up."

The party downstairs hadn’t ended yet. As the host, Han Jingnian obviously couldn’t leave. Zhang Te volunteered, "Mr. Han, let me accompany her."

Han Jingnian simply grunted in approval and glanced at Xia Wan’an, who was quietly adjusting her clothes. He didn’t say anything else and left directly.
