The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 744: Chapter 728: I Am Not a Slut 39

Xiao Yuan got up in the morning thinking about having some breakfast before going back to tidy up and change his clothes.

He came out of his office just in time to run into a few nurses who were changing shifts.

The nurses smiled and greeted him: ”Good morning, Dr. Xiao.”

Xiao Yuan also nodded with a smile.

One of the nurses, particularly bold, leaned in and asked Xiao Yuan, ”Dr. Xiao, do you know you’ve become famous?”

Huh?

Xiao Yuan was a bit puzzled.

The nurse laughed, ”You must not have been online. Go check it out, you’re trending on social media now.”

With that, the nurses ran off laughing.

While walking outside, Xiao Yuan took out his phone to check, and indeed, he was trending.

A video of him running from his office to the emergency department had been uploaded online. Also, someone had uploaded a video of him administering anesthesia and suturing Lele at the back.

Since then, he earned the nicknames ’The Most Handsome Doctor’ and ’Kung Fu Doctor.’

Mainly because Xiao Yuan was running so fast, leaping directly over several obstacles on the way, his jumps more graceful than those of a 100-meter hurdle athlete, making it look like parkour. Moreover, he was not dressed in casual wear but in trousers, a shirt, and a white coat, which made the feat even more impressive. Thus, netizens after watching the video speculated whether he knew kung fu.

In another segment of the video, Xiao Yuan was truly beautiful.

He was speaking to Lele with a smile, distracting the child while skillfully administering anesthesia and suturing with just one hand. Not to mention how patient he was at that moment, and how warm his smile was; his one-handed suturing technique alone was astonishing, so many people praised him as ’The Most Handsome Doctor.’

Many netizens were inquiring which hospital Dr. Xiao belonged to and envied Lele for his luck in meeting such a doctor.

Particularly female netizens were captivated by Xiao Yuan’s good looks, constantly praising him for relying on his talent rather than just his appearance.

Xiao Yuan, however, did not care much about this and shook his head with a chuckle after seeing it.

He put his phone away, thinking about where to buy breakfast.

However, he had not walked far when he saw an ambulance stop, and the attending doctor and nurses were helping a patient out of it.

Xiao Yuan glanced and instantly felt alarmed.

He no longer cared about food and quickly followed them.

”Dr. Geng.”

Xiao Yuan recognized the attending doctor and hurried over to ask, ”What happened?”

While walking, Dr. Geng explained: ”The patient called for emergency services. We diagnosed him in the ambulance. It seems like a sudden cerebral infarction, and he also has severe lumbar muscle strain, but further diagnosis is necessary.”

Xiao Yuan, following Dr. Geng, asked, ”Do you have enough staff there?”

Dr. Geng sighed, ”Dr. Xiao, you were busy with us until midnight yesterday. Do you think we have enough people? Our emergency department was overwhelmed yesterday, and there are still many patients stuck in the hallway.”

Xiao Yuan then said, ”Transfer the patient to my department.”

Dr. Geng sized Xiao Yuan up.

Xiao Yuan touched his nose: ”I know the patient; he’s a relative from my family.”

Dr. Geng then realized why Xiao Yuan hurried over upon seeing the patient.

He chuckled: ”Since it’s your relative, we’ll transfer him to your department. Do you still have hospital beds?”

Xiao Yuan nodded: ”Yes, you know my department mainly handles non-hospitalizing patients with colds recently.”

Thus, Dr. Geng filled out the necessary paperwork for tests and quickly transferred the patient to the department of traditional Chinese medicine.

Upon arriving at Weixiangyuan, a few apprentices followed and were surprised to see the transfer to the department of traditional Chinese medicine, asking Dr. Geng, ”Doctor, what’s going on? Why transfer to the department of traditional Chinese medicine?”

Dr. Geng explained with a smile, ”The initial assessment for the patient is cerebral infarction, with severe lumbar muscle strain, so we transferred him to the department of traditional Chinese medicine where Dr. Xiao is quite skilled in treating this.”

Xiao Yuan, after completing the formalities, asked the nurses to push the patient into his ward.

He didn’t eat yet and first conducted a preliminary diagnosis on Mr. Jiang. Dr. Geng’s assessment was correct – Mr. Jiang had stroke symptoms, but his sudden fainting was due to cervical spondylosis compressing a nerve, causing sudden unconsciousness.

Xiao Yuan first performed acupuncture on Mr. Jiang and then carefully repositioned his cervical spine.

And it was only at this moment that the apprentices snapped back to reality, remembering they had yet to call Mr. Jiang’s family.

Thus, one apprentice hurriedly dialed Mrs. Jiang’s cell phone and informed her of the situation.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Jiang had been tidying up the house when she suddenly received a call from an apprentice from Weixiangyuan, saying Mr. Jiang had fainted and was now undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital, scaring her terribly.

When Anning came out to drink water, she saw Mrs. Jiang’s face turning pale and her body trembling; she quickly supported Mrs. Jiang, checked her pulse, and realizing it was due to excessive fright, she discreetly massaged a few acupoints, which significantly calmed Mrs. Jiang.

”Quick, let’s go to the hospital.”

Anning grabbed a coat to wear, took her bag, and helped Mrs. Jiang out, asking, ”Mom, what happened?”

Mrs. Jiang’s fingers were trembling: ”Your dad suddenly collapsed and is now in emergency at the hospital.”

Hearing this, Anning also panicked, helped Mrs. Jiang down the stairs, and quickly hailed a taxi: ”Mom, which hospital is dad at?”

Mrs. Jiang whispered softly, ”Medical University Hospital.”

Anning found it coincidental upon hearing this; wasn’t Xiao Yuan just there? Once they got into a taxi, Anning immediately sent a Flying Messenger message to Xiao Yuan.

However, Xiao Yuan was currently resetting Mr. Jiang’s position and couldn’t check his phone. After Anning waited a long time without a reply, she put away her phone.

Once Anning and Mrs. Jiang arrived at the hospital, they saw Xiao Su, an apprentice of Mr. Jiang, waiting at the hospital entrance.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang got out of the car, she asked Xiao Su, ”How is your master?”

Xiao Su supported Mrs. Jiang inside, ”Mother, don’t worry, my master is fine now, the doctor said his condition has stabilized. You don’t know, my master was lucky, Dr. Xiao was here, his medical skills are excellent, he used just a few silver needles and brought my master around.”

It’s no wonder then that Xiao Yuan didn’t reply, thought Anning, he must have been diagnosing.

When Anning and Mrs. Jiang entered the hospital room, they found Mr. Jiang already awake, sitting on the bed, chatting and laughing with Xiao Yuan.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang was fine, Mrs. Jiang immediately relaxed and then thanked Dr. Xiao, ”Dr. Xiao, thank you so much, we really appreciate it.”

Dr. Xiao quickly shook hands with Mrs. Jiang, ”You’re welcome, it’s our duty.”

He also told Mr. Jiang, ”Uncle, rest in bed today, don’t get up. Stabilize for today, and I’ll do acupuncture for you tomorrow to ensure you are healed.”

”Thank you so much,” Mr. Jiang repeatedly thanked.

Mrs. Jiang kept expressing her gratitude, ”Don’t worry, I’ll watch him to make sure he doesn’t get out of bed.”

Dr. Xiao then excused himself, ”Aunt, stay with Uncle. I have some more matters to attend to, so I’ll leave now. I’ll be back in a couple of hours to check on him.”

”Go ahead.”

Mrs. Jiang took a stool and sat in front of the bed, then turned to Anning, ”Anning, could you please see Dr. Xiao out?”

Anning nodded, ”Mom, we didn’t bring anything with us, I’ll go buy some stuff.”

Since they were going to stay in the hospital, she needed to buy some daily necessities and other items.

Mrs. Jiang waved her off, ”Hurry on then, don’t worry, I’ll look after your dad here.”

Anning and Xiao Yuan left together, talking while they walked.

Xiao Yuan assured her, ”Don’t worry; uncle is fine.”

”I’m not worried.”

Anning smiled at Xiao Yuan, ”With you, the Divine Doctor here, as long as there’s a breath left, I’m sure you can cure him. Besides, I’m here too.”

Then Anning asked, ”How did you happen to be there?”

Xiao Yuan explained about yesterday’s emergency department incident, ”It was really a coincidence, I don’t usually stay around the hospital.”

The two came out of the building, Anning accompanied Xiao Yuan to have breakfast, then found a supermarket nearby to buy some daily necessities and fruits among other items.

When everything for Mr. Jiang had been settled, it was time for lunch, Anning went out again to buy meals for Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

With Mrs. Jiang there to take care of him, Mrs. Jiang said to Anning, ”You should head back now; Xiao Hua is at home and must be starving by now, don’t worry about your dad, I’m here.”

Anning acknowledged, and as she put on her coat, she said, ”What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook and bring it over later.”

Mr. Jiang listed a few dishes, Anning noted them down and then left.

Anning had just left when Xiao Yuan came back to check on the patient.
