743 Fangirl (2/2)
Dr. Ling's eyes widened. She knew what Ah-Si meant to Xiao Li. This guy was a bro-con through and through! And now he was telling her that the patient he called her for was also as much important as his own brother. This was indeed unexpected!
With a serious look and comforting tone, she said, ”I already told you that the patient is out of danger. Stop worrying about him. I'm here. I'll do my best and make sure that he has a full recovery. As for the time, that'd depend on his will to live.” She took a pause briefly and added, ”And I think he really has a strong will to live.”
Xiao Li looked at her and sincerely said, ”Thank you! I mean it! Thank you for coming!”
She waved it off saying, ”Let's face it, Xiao Li, I didn't come for you. Yes, we knew each other briefly from kindergarten to high school but I didn't come because of that brief acquaintance between us.”
”Brief?” he repeated.
She didn't listen as her eyes caught sight of something and she slapped his arm, ”Oh my god! Oh my god! How is he still so handsome? I knew I'd see him here but this soon? Aiyomaya! Is he aging backward or what?”
Xiao Li covered his face in embarrassment and pretended he didn't know her. he was suddenly reminded of why didn't like her.
”He's coming here! I'm so nervous!”
”Please, shut up!” Xiao Li gnashed his teeth. ”The one you're gushing at is my father!”
She didn't even listen to him as she continued to look at Xin Zimen with sparkly eyes. ”What father? He can easily pass off as your elder brother! In fact, with how you're frowning, I believe you look like the elder brother.”
”You came to fangirl over my dad again?” he asked and she nodded without hesitation. He closed his eyes and looked away. But suddenly he felt someone squeezing his arm and soon he knew why. His father was standing beside him as he said, ”Xiao Li, go and take a look at Ying. If she's awake. Shift her home.”
Xiao Li slowly stood up and nodded his head, ”Yes, dad.” Xiao Li wasn't even surprised that Dr. Ling didn't even let out a peep before his father. No matter how much she admired him, she'd never been able to talk before him. How come she didn't change in so long? So much for being the country's top neurosurgeon!
When his dad went away, he heard her voice again, ”Oi! Our Ying is here as well?”
He nodded, ”She is also injured.”
”What bloody game are you all playing here? Either someone is bleeding literally or metaphorically.”
”Who is bleeding metaphorically,” he questioned as he strode towards Ying's room.
While she tagged along, she answered, ”I was talking about you. It seemed like you were gonna cry.”
”They don't teach manners in med school?” he asked.
She shook her head, ”They only teach us how to either cut people open or how to sew them back up.”
