Chapter 278: Chapter 288: Someone’s tone of blame was tinged with heartache.
Han Xi smiled faintly as she removed her sterile gown, her voice as calm as water, with a hint of fatigue: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime. As for having a protégé, I don’t think so. I don’t seem to be much older than you all."
"You interns really have a wild imagination. Doctor Han is so busy every day, where would she find the time to mentor you?"
The doctor next to them removed his mask and signaled for them to wheel the patient out.
"Remember to observe the patient’s postoperative condition. I’m going to rest for a while," Han Xi instructed the nurse before leaving.
"Okay, Doctor Han."
Han Xi changed her clothes and took the elevator back to her office, where she collapsed onto the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, there was a blanket over her. She looked up to see Lu Jinghan’s striking features, his deep-set eyes as profound as the sea.
"What brought you here?" Han Xi sat up from the sofa.
"I called you several times, but no one answered. I was worried, so I came over. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet. I was just in surgery the whole time, so my phone was on silent."
Han Xi leaned tiredly on Lu Jinghan’s shoulder, her soft voice husky from sleep.
"It seems all the things I reminded you of this morning were in vain."
Although his tone was reproachful, it was filled with concern.
"I’m fine, just a little tired, and very hungry."
Lu Jinghan turned to gently tidy up Han Xi’s slightly messy hair, then took her small hand and sat her down at the table: "Sister Zhang made something light, afraid that you’d feel uncomfortable with greasy food."
Han Xi looked at the dishes on the table and immediately started eating. She was so hungry that she felt her stomach sticking to her back.
Lu Jinghan poured a bowl of porridge from the thermos and placed it in front of Han Xi: "Have some porridge first to warm your stomach."
"Mm, did you eat already?" Han Xi took the bowl handed to her by Lu Jinghan, sipped it, and then looked up to ask.
"Yes, I have."
Just as Lu Jinghan finished speaking, the phone in his pants pocket rang. He tilted slightly to one side, took out his phone, and pressed the answer key.
"President Lu, Lin Weiyang has already left."
On the other end of the call was Jiang Dachuan’s voice, having personally seen Lin Weiyang board the plane.
"Okay, I know."
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan turned his gaze to his little wife, who was eating with great enjoyment, a charming smile playing on his lips.
"Honey, in two days, it will be Grandpa’s birthday. The old man decided to hold the birthday dinner at home this year."
Han Xi swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up at Lu Jinghan: "Is there anything I need to do? And what should I get Grandpa for his birthday present?"
Lu Jinghan raised his elegant fingers to wipe the oil from the corner of Han Xi’s mouth: "You don’t need to do anything; Housekeeper Li will personally organize the dinner. All you need to do is attend with me on the day. As for the gift, we can go pick one out together tomorrow."
Han Xi nodded with a gentle smile, agreeing: "Okay, then come pick me up after work tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll choose a present for Grandpa."
"Mm, hurry and eat up; it will get cold."
After watching Han Xi finish her meal, Lu Jinghan finally left.
In the afternoon, a new doctor joined Han Xi’s department. Rumor had it he was also a graduate of Stanford University. Many young nurses couldn’t help but wish their eyes were glued onto him when they saw him in person.
