It was early in the morning.
The sky started to become bright.
Cheers could be heard constantly from the courtyard of Guozheng Charity Hospital. Some people shouted loudly in Portuguese and English, while laughter and screaming were also heard.
Ling Ran rubbed his eyes while walking out of the waiting room. Then, he took a look at the weather outside and could not help but feel relieved.
The rain stopped.
”I heard that the southern region is still raining, but there should be a short period where there is no rain.” A Chinese girl who came from Cuba Town was sitting in the corridor. When she saw Ling Ran coming out, she quickly stood up and told him about the situation as she observed Ling Ran's facial expression.
Ling Ran nodded and asked, ”Will there be any helicopters coming over?”
”I heard that we will need at least two hours of no rain before the helicopter can come, so the earliest will be tomorrow,” the girl quickly answered before she asked, ”Doctor Ling, do you want to have your breakfast? You can eat in the restaurant, but if you want to, we can also deliver your meal here.”
Ling Ran touched his tummy; he was slightly hungry. Unlike the others who rested very early at night, even if Ling Ran did not have surgery at night, he was still willing to take an Energy Serum and quietly read a book or do something else.
A week was enough for him to know a little bit about anesthesiology. This alone allowed him to surpass most surgeons.
However, this habit also made Ling Ran have his breakfast very early, and he would eat a lot.
”I'll eat on the balcony.” Ling Ran had not seen the sun for a few days, so he was quite happy when he saw the sun.
”Sure.” She did not ask anything else, but just spoke into the walkie talkie for a while. Then, some people ran up to set things up on the balcony.
Soon, when Tian Qi came up to the floor, a small square table with eight dishes, one sauce, and two bowls of soup were placed there.
Ling Ran and Tian Qi sat across each other. They looked at the sun beside them, and they both felt good.
”It's still better when the sun is around.” Tian Qi put on a blue hat and wore a tailor-made dress. She looked a little mischievous and elegant.
Ling Ran still wore a rather crude-looking scrub. He naturally spread fruit jam on the bread. Even though the passage in Cuba Town was opened, only trucks can somewhat pass through it, so the food in the hospital was not that much better.
A breakfast with eight dishes almost covered most of the types of food.
Ling Ran passed a slice of bread with well-spread jam to Tian Qi and said, ”If helicopters come tomorrow, you can go back first. Three seriously wounded patients need to undergo surgery as soon as possible, but the helicopter can still be fitted with a few more people.”
Tian Qi took the slice of bread, smiled sweetly, and said, ”I'm not in a hurry to go back. The hospital is very safe, and the resources here are also sufficient. In fact, it's not very safe for the helicopter if it needs to go back and forth during the period where there is no rain.”
Her reason was very sufficient. Tian Qi also did not try to convince Ling Ran to let her stay.
There were at least one hundred patients in Guozheng Charity Hospital now. Their injuries varied in degrees of severity, but they could not completely leave Ling Ran. Meanwhile, just as Tian Qi mentioned, coming back and forth with the helicopter was not completely safe.
Flight during the period with no rain was in itself a risk. It was not very dangerous, but there were still risks involved. If they were not in a hurry to leave, they should just stay for a few days more and wait for the storm to stop. At that time, even if the land transportation was still not convenient, taking the helicopter to come back and forth was still safer and more comfortable.
Guozheng Charity Hospital had taken in consideration of storms and deluge when it was first designed. The location did not face the risk of mudflows, and it was just slightly inconvenient for them to carry out their daily activities if they stayed here.
Ling Ran did not think too much about it. He just nodded and said, ”Then, just stay in the hospital and contact those you need through the satellite phone.”
”Okay.” Tian Qi nodded repeatedly. She then bit down gently on the slice of bread with fruit jam and smiled with satisfaction.
Ling Ran continued to spread fruit jam on a slice of bread for himself. The method he used was similar to him spreading bio-gel after a hepatectomy. He could easily check whether it was even as well, and it was simple and brought him great comfort.
His only regret was that bread covered in fruit jam did not taste good enough.
