Chapter 973 Backdoor
An Zhiyuan dropped Bai Xiao off at Ruiyin and stared at the grand, imposing entrance of Ruiyin Hospital. He instructed Bai Xiao, "Don’t overwork yourself. Make sure to rest. I’ll pick you up on Friday." Watching his wife leave for a week left him feeling uneasy.
However, Bai Xiao was already in her internship phase and had to work like the other intern doctors—not just during the day but also night shifts, and even taking on responsibilities for hospitalized patients. Meeting every day was almost impossible for them now.
An Zhiyuan’s bodyguard training had also picked up pace, as he was the coach for this year’s Hunter Training Camp.
Time didn’t allow them much space for romance and tenderness.
Sometimes, An Zhiyuan understood how fortunate he was to be with Bai Xiao. If it were any other woman, how could she possibly tolerate her man being away from home for years?
No wonder many said it was tough being married to someone like them.
"Don’t just talk about me. I don’t even need to mention how reckless you are when it comes to working. Take care of yourself! Don’t make me worry. Also, cut back on smoking—it’s bad for your lungs. Oh, by the way, have you heard anything from my brother? Why haven’t we gotten any updates recently? It’s making me worried."
Bai Xiao was worried about Bai Song. Judging by the timeline, Bai Song should already be nearing the final stages of the mission at the front. It was almost the ’90s now, and tensions had mostly eased, with only sporadic gunfire. But her brother’s lack of updates for several months had been troubling.
And since he was in Yun Province, far out of their reach, Bai Xiao could only hope An Zhiyuan might be able to gather some news about her brother.
"Got it. Your brother’s fine. As soon as I’m back, I’ll call Yun Province to ask about the situation. Don’t stress over it—off you go!" he said, trying to comfort her as he saw the worried look in his wife’s eyes.
