Upon hearing Wang Lan’s words, Zhao Xuan’s expression turned sour. He wanted to voice his suspicions, but remembering that Gu Dai might not want her identity revealed, he reluctantly swallowed his words.
Shifting the topic, he said, “Madam, Miss Song Yu should be awake by now. You should go see her.”
Only then did Wang Lan remember the purpose of her hospital visit. She glanced at the operating room, her expression torn with indecision.
Zhao Xuan quickly added, “Don’t worry, Madam. I’ll take care of everything here with President Song. You go check on Miss Song Yu.”
Relieved, Wang Lan nodded and, before leaving, reminded him, “Inform me immediately when the surgery is over.”
Zhao Xuan nodded vigorously in response.
Inside the operating room.
Gu Dai’s eyes were completely focused as she performed surgery on Song Ling in an orderly manner.
Everyone present struggled to steady their minds, trying to control the excitement of seeing their idol and avoiding any surgical mishaps.
Gu Dai’s fingers moved swiftly, so fast that the onlookers could only see a blur. She meticulously stitched the thin blood vessel walls together with ultra-fine medical thread.
The doctors, witnessing her actions, couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at her skill.
Even though Ge Liang had previously witnessed the Legendary Doctor’s prowess, he was still astonished. After all, even twenty more years of practice wouldn’t bring him to her level.
Song Ling lay pale and still on the operating table, a far cry from his usual aloof demeanor. He appeared extremely vulnerable.
He was caught in a flashback to a past fire. Sitting on the ground, his heart filled with fear, he curled up, watching the flames around him with terror.
Then, a girl approached, parting the flames as she walked, stopping before him like a deity.
She extended her hand, saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you out of here.”
After completing the surgery, Gu Dai’s forehead was dotted with beads of sweat.
Ge Liang handed her a tissue, “Legendary Doctor, you should wipe your sweat.”
Gu Dai nodded, “The surgery was successful, I’ll take my leave now.”
Ge Liang nodded repeatedly, hesitating before finally asking, “Legendary Doctor, may I have your contact information?”
Gu Dai refused, “There’s no need. I don’t like being disturbed.”
Zhao Xuan, standing outside the operating room, sighed in relief upon seeing success light up on the door of the operating room. He quickly took out his phone to share the good news with Wang Lan.
As the surgery room door opened, Zhao Xuan’s eyes brightened upon seeing the Legendary Doctor emerge, surrounded by people. As he came to his senses, he saw her leaving.
Rushing in front of the Legendary Doctor, he asked in a low, excited voice, “Miss Gu Dai, it’s you, isn’t it?”
His question sounded more like a confirmation.
Startled, Gu Dai didn’t deny it but asked curiously, “How did you know?”
Zhao Xuan pointed to the bloodstain on her wrist.
Gu Dai looked down, then remembered how she got it, a flicker of annoyance crossing her eyes. She spoke, “Don’t tell anyone that I’m the Legendary Doctor.
I don’t want too many people to know.”
Zhao Xuan opened his mouth, his eyes flickering as he whispered, “But President Song has been looking for you. He would be so happy to know you saved him again. Do you remember that time…”
Gu Dai cut him off, “I remember, but I don’t want any entanglement with him now.”
Zhao Xuan wanted to persuade her further, but seeing the resolve in Gu Dai’s eyes, he sighed, “I understand, Miss Gu Dai. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you’re the Legendary Doctor.”
Nodding, Gu Dai then walked away with long strides.
Zhao Xuan watched her receding figure and sighed again.
He hadn’t expected the person President Song was searching for had been right beside him all along.
When Wang Lan hurried over, she found Zhao Xuan standing in the corridor, lost in thought. Annoyed, she said, “Why are you standing here instead of taking care of Song Ling?”
Zhao Xuan snapped back to reality, “I was seeing off the Legendary Doctor.”
Wang Lan immediately asked, “Where is the Legendary Doctor?”
Zhao Xuan replied, “Already left.”
Disappointed yet unwilling to give up, Wang Lan quickly said, “The Legendary Doctor couldn’t have gone far. I’ll catch up to express my thanks.”
Zhao Xuan, alarmed, quickly said, “The Legendary Doctor left a while ago. It’s too late to chase after. Let’s go check on President Song’s condition instead..”
