673 Train (1/2)

Xu Jinyi's condition improved with each day. After only a few days, Xu Jinyi boarded a plane and headed to Anderson Cancer Center in the United States.

And on the day he left, Ling Ran managed to complete the [Relieve Patient's Pain] mission as he worked in Donghuang Regional Hospital's Emergency Department.

[Mission Completed: Relieve Patient's Pain]

[Mission Aim: Relieve the pain of 100 patients]

[Mission Reward: Two hours of the Virtual Human]

Now that he had completed his mission and obtained his reward, Ling Ran nodded at the patient before him and asked, ”Do you want to bring the fishbone home?”

There was a sharp fishbone on the tray in front of him. It was sparkling beneath the spotlight.

”Do I get to bring it home? I'll do that, then.” The middle-aged man sitting in front of Ling Ran gritted his teeth. ”I want it to suffer for three days too!”

After he said this, the middle-aged man took out a tissue from his pocket and carefully wrapped the fishbone inside. He then put it back into his pocket.

”The fishbone is sharp,” a kind-hearted young nurse reminded him.

”No sh*t.” The middle-aged man smiled and left. He suddenly yelped after taking a few steps.

He turned.

The nurse looked calmly at him.

The middle-aged man took another step forward. His face was contorted. However, by the time a person was middle-aged, they cared about their reputation a lot. They would not admit defeat even though they were in pain.

The nurse raised her chin a little, and her face was contorted too. It was tough working in the hospital, and no one wanted their patient to lodge a complaint to the Medical Affairs Department.

The middle-aged man turned, reached his hand into his pocket, and took out the fishbone wrapped in tissue. He was a good man.

The young nurse lowered her head and stroked her hair. She suppressed her laughter. It was another good day.

…..

As Ling Ran sent away the other party with his gaze, he covered his mouth with his hand and yawned.

Ling Ran could not help but feel emotional. Ever since he received the mission, he had carried out a few hundred surgeries. However, up until now, he had only managed to relieve one hundred patients' pain. Moreover, half of them were patients he treated in the emergency room.

Even though many of the patients were still recovering and it would take quite a long time until they would be relieved from pain, the large number of patients he treated and their slow progress in recovery made Ling Ran rather alarmed.

”Doctor Ling, should I call the next patient in?” The makeup on the face of the young nurse working in the Emergency Department of Donghuang Regional Hospital was immaculate, and she flashed a beautiful smile at Ling Ran.

Ling Ran shook his head. ”There's no need for this. I'll take a rest today.”

As he spoke, he paid no heed to his surroundings and left the emergency room.

Zuo Cidian, who was accompanying Ling Ran, immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

They did not get extra freelance surgery fees by working in the Emergency Department. Hence, it was very meaningless for him to help out in the emergency room. Of course, it was always good to put in some practice. However, all the patients in the emergency room merely suffered from minor ailments, and Zuo Cidian was really getting impatient. In Yun Hua Hospital, these patients existed so that housemen and medical interns could put in some practice, and a doctor would never get far in life courtesy of working in the emergency room.

Zuo Cidian gazed at the ceiling. Now that his boss was qualified to carry out freelance surgery in Beijing, as an underling, he should probably aim high too. He would at least like to buy a house located near a school before he retired. His son would have grown up by then, but he could let his grandson live in that sort of house, and Zuo Cidian would feel like he had achieved something in life.

Zuo Cidian lowered his gaze and stared at Ling Ran's back. A few seconds later, he tottered after Ling Ran.

Since his boss was still young, he definitely should not follow too closely behind him. Zuo Cidian reckoned that it was more polite to walk a few steps behind Ling Ran. This way, Ling Ran would not get easily annoyed by him either.

”Doctor Ling, where are we going? Should I call a cab?” Zuo Cidian maintained a short distance away from Ling Ran.

”Let's just saunter around.” Ling Ran was walking at a leisurely pace.

Zuo Cidian froze for a moment. Coming from Ling Ran, the word ”saunter” sounded somehow ironic.
