Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Meeting Again
Not long after Bai Xiao started her shift, Bai Jingshan arrived; he had made an appointment for three days earlier, and today was the third day.
Bai Jingshan didn’t say it, but he was quite impressed with the young girl. Her acupuncture skills really were something; at least his symptoms had significantly alleviated, and he felt much lighter over the past couple of days.
It’s much more comfortable compared to before.
Of course, he also had his own reasons for this visit.
As soon as they met, Bai Jingshan placed his medical records and appointment slip in front of Bai Xiao.
Seeing the familiar face with a gentle smile, Bai Jingshan felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
He trusted his intuition and believed he couldn’t just randomly have a good impression of someone.
"Mr. Bai is quite punctual!"
Bai Xiao also recognized this gentleman; he was the genuine patient she had almost misunderstood the other day.
"Yes, don’t all sick people wish to recover as soon as possible? Moreover, this illness is quite bothersome! I also hope to eradicate the root soon." Bai Jingshan amiably observed the young girl before him.
Bai Xiao smiled, "Alright, please extend your hand! Let me take your pulse!"
As a genuine patient, she naturally would treat him well! Although her special ability seemed to have weakened, over the past few days of verification, it seemed not to have weakened; rather, it had become gentler. Previously, it was domineering, but now it seemed to be working subtly, as if the special ability sensed her needs and adjusted itself. Moreover, this change had allowed Bai Xiao to discover.
It used to target diseases, but now the special ability seemed to focus on the cells. It could easily change the number of white blood cells in the human body and even affect their quality, improving the patient’s condition internally and enabling them to self-heal from within.
She didn’t yet know the benefits of this change in her special ability or the reasons for this transformation.
Changes naturally have reasons, but she hadn’t discovered what they were yet.
Bai Jingshan watched as Bai Xiao washed her hands under the faucet; she had just given a patient an injection, and disinfection was necessary before attending to him.
Today, Dr. Zhao was off-duty, leaving only Bai Xiao in the department. Ever since Bai Xiao handled that fifteenth case, proving her capabilities by treating a few patients, there hadn’t been any disturbances from patients, affirming that Bai Xiao did have some skills.
Dr. Zhao was overjoyed.
After all, with someone to share the load, his future holidays wouldn’t be casually taken up.
Their department was understaffed, and one person was treated like a workhorse.
This doctor’s off days were few and far between; he had owed the department several months of leave. Now that someone capable had arrived, he initially thought she was just a rookie but was amazed by her competence and professionalism, which earned his respect, allowing him to relax a bit.
So, he took the day off, thinking he could finally spend some time with his wife and children, and Dr. Zhao had enthusiastically thanked Dr. Bai for a while.
Therefore, today the consultation room had only Bai Xiao.
Was Bai Xiao scared? What would she be scared of?
Of course, what if she really encountered a rogue?
Bai Xiao chuckled; she wasn’t actually afraid of rogues. If a rogue did come, it wouldn’t be bad, at least she could rid the public of a menace.
An Zhiyuan knew that his wife had been reassigned to the urology department. He nearly called their superiors, feeling it was an injustice against his wife, especially given her background as a family member of the military, and he, An Zhiyuan, was still alive, how dare they bully his wife.
This felt like a slap in the face to those of them returning from the front lines.
He was ultimately persuaded by Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao explained that treating patients was her duty wherever she went, and not about seeking fame. Since aiding patients was her true goal, urology was still a specialty where she could objectively learn new medical knowledge. She wasn’t feeling wronged, so why should An Zhiyuan intervene?
Moreover, both Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan knew that Yu Shaoyan should be out within these days, and when that happened, Dean Jin was sure to request her transfer to another department. So there was no need for a big fuss.
It took some effort to convince An Zhiyuan.
She had no idea that An Zhiyuan made a few calls that night.
Nor did she know that Dean Jin’s son and daughter were directly reassigned to the morgue.
Dean Jin really didn’t know how protective An Zhiyuan was of his wife.
Bullies begets retribution, so his son and daughter nearly struggled in the morgue for half a year, searching for numerous people, only to learn it was their own father’s doing who had set them up before leaving, and they were bringing gifts daily to Bai Xiao’s door to apologize, making Bai Xiao confused until it finally became clear that her husband had played a trick on them, managing to arrange their transfer to the inpatient department, otherwise, there was really no way out.
"Mr. Bai, your illness has improved significantly. If there are no issues, today will be your last acupuncture session, and you shouldn’t need to come back. It should be cured." Bai Xiao noted that her special ability was still quite effective, though it appeared to have reined in some. This restraint even seemed to enhance the results.
At least after using the special ability, the patient’s white blood cells continued self-repairing at home, and the treatment, compared to her one-time cure, was more effective, stimulating the patient’s other white blood cells and boosting their immune function.
Bai Jingshan nodded at Bai Xiao, "Dr. Bai indeed has excellent medical skills!"
"I dare not accept such praise; it’s merely family-taught acupuncture. Mr. Bai, please go to the inner consultation room, and I’ll begin the acupuncture session."
This Bai Jingshan indeed seemed very amiable, surprisingly so for a stranger given his affable demeanor.
Bai Jingshan took off his coat and lay on the examination bed; Bai Xiao was quite deft with her needles, as this was her specialty.
"Dr. Bai, where are you from?"
"I am from a certain province."
"Oh, I know that area. I once worked on a labor reform farm not far from Liupan Village."
"Oh, I’m from Liupan Village; I didn’t expect we have this connection."
"Indeed! What a coincidence! I had a benefactor laboring at a nearby educated youth point, but she has passed away, and I never returned to that place afterward."
Bai Xiao was moved.
Could it be the Bai Jingshan she knew, the one Shang Kaiwen regarded as a prized catch?
"You’re not a local, are you? I hear a foreign accent in your speech."
"I’m a returning overseas Chinese, and years of living abroad inevitably gave me some foreign accent! Yet, hometown accents are hard to change."
"Really! I wouldn’t have thought. It’s such a surprise about your benefactor."
They moved swiftly, having already found out.
It was unclear whether Shang Kaiwen had aligned herself with Bai Jingshan; he seemed like a man of integrity and grace. Though past fifty, his calm and mature demeanor was certainly appealing, with an inherent elegance and confidence marking him as an extraordinary person.
