Did That Doctor Successfully Remarry Today?

Several days later, it was time for Jiang An’s scheduled dressing change with the doctor. Remembering that she had previously promised Dr. Gao that he would accompany her, she had sent a message to Gao Chuan early in the morning. However, there was no reply even by noon. The girl guessed that he must be busy with an important surgery, so she decided to take a taxi to the hospital by herself.

Before she could leave the house, she ran into Xia Zi, who had just come back. Upon learning that Jiang An was going to the hospital alone, Xia Zi considerately offered to accompany her. The afternoon was busy with many people registering in the surgery department, and they had to wait in line for half an hour. Just when only three people were left before them, Jiang An and Xia Zi couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

An emergency situation arose with a patient in the oncology department, and a specialists’ consultation was convened in the hospital. Gao Chuan had been busy with this matter all morning and had not checked his phone at all. Only after dealing with everything and returning to his office did he see the WeChat message Jiang An had sent in the morning. It had been several hours. The man’s eyes lit up silently, he took off his gold-rimmed glasses with a weary frown, and dialed Jiang An’s number directly.

Jiang An, sitting in the corridor with Xia Zi and waiting for the doctor to call their number, suddenly heard her phone ring in her bag. When she took it out and saw that it was Dr. Gao, she was momentarily stunned. She saw Xia Zi scrolling through Weibo and quietly stood up to walk to the nearby window to take the call. Xia Zi noticed her movement and reminded her, "Hurry up, it’s almost our turn."

Jiang An replied with an "Okay" and hurriedly ran off. Once she found a quiet spot to ensure Xia Zi wouldn’t hear, the girl pressed the green answer button. The familiar, deep voice of the man came through the speaker, "Did you get your dressing changed? I was busy with a consultation this morning and didn’t see the message."

Hearing Gao Chuan explaining himself, Jiang An smiled brightly and replied, "It’s okay, I’m already in line."

Gao Chuan, listening to her casual tone, didn’t feel a bit of grievance or anger. From the time they knew each other, he had missed appointments with Jiang An several times because of work, and the girl had always just smiled and expressed her understanding.

Thinking this way, he suddenly felt a pang of self-reproach. Gao Chuan glanced at his watch, and suddenly thought that the two had not seen each other for several days. He planned to ask Jiang An out to dinner after getting off work, but before he could speak, he heard Jiang An’s anxious voice from the other end, "Dr. Gao, I can’t talk now, it’s my turn, I have to go."

The man opened his mouth to speak, but the call was already hung up, and all he could hear was the "du du du" sound. He put down his phone helplessly, lips curving into a smile that was not quite a smile.

Although Jiang An’s hand was not severely injured, it was still a knife wound and needed time to heal. After the doctor wrote out the prescription, Jiang An stayed in the outpatient room for her dressing change. Xia Zi went out to pay, leaving only Jiang An and the doctor. Jiang An was the kind of person who was very afraid of pain. When the liquid medicine touched her wound, she couldn’t help but hiss. The male doctor applying the medicine saw the girl’s pained expression, looked up and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It’s okay," Jiang An bit her lip. As they were talking, a man in a white coat suddenly entered the room. The doctor who was about to re-wrap Jiang An’s bandage looked up and saw the newcomer, his eyes flashing with surprise as he smiled, "Director Gao, how do you have time to visit our surgery department?"

Jiang An, who had been looking away the whole time, afraid to look at her wound, followed the doctor’s gaze at the mention of Director Gao. Sure enough, she saw the tall Dr. Gao standing at the entrance. The man in the white coat had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a tall figure, with brows that indicated ease. His gaze settled on both Jiang An and the doctor who were changing the dressing, reflecting their own surprise.
