Chapter 2386 So He’s Ian (17)
Normally, Huo Mian would only occasionally conduct some difficult operations from the OB/GYN and Orthopedics Departments . She rarely did surgeries .
That was also the reason why she rarely saw patients from the ER, where some tragic incidents like car accidents or construction accidents happened . It was the first time she saw such a graphic situation .
The girl was lying there half dead . Her face was pale but you could see her delicate facial features . You could tell she was young .
However, she was badly wounded by some external force .
From how her wounds showed, she could tell someone cut her chest open with a knife, causing massive blood loss .
“Stop the bleeding first . Then we’ll start the surgery . ” Huo Mian took a deep breath in to calm herself .
Then, along with two other neurosurgeons and three nurses, she conducted this extremely difficult surgery .
The surgery lasted for over three hours . When Huo Mian came out of the surgery room, it was already 12:30 AM .
The surgery required immense concentration so now that Huo Mian relaxed, she felt tired and dizzy .
Then, someone gave her a cup of water . Just when Huo Mian was about to take it, she looked at the man . She realized it wasn’t from a nurse but was a foreign man – a complete stranger .
The man didn’t look young and had a weird glare in his eyes . The way he looked at her was strange because his eyes seemed to be faking a smile at her .
Huo Mian immediately became more alert . She held onto the cup and said, “Who are you?”
“I’m that girl’s friend…” he said in English .
Huo Mian of course understood .
She didn’t believe what he said so she asked, “You’re that patient’s friend?”
“Yeah . I requested you to come back to the hospital to conduct that surgery . I heard the surgery went very smoothly . You are good after all . ”
“Although the surgery was successful, she’s still in critical condition . We will need to continue monitoring her health…” Huo Mian looked at the man and responded in fluent English .
“I didn’t expect your English to be this good . I heard you never studied abroad,” the man said with a smile .
You seem to know a lot about me…” Huo Mian was now even more alert because this stranger, who was a foreigner, seemed to know a lot about her . He also self-proclaimed to be the friend of her patient .
“Everyone in this hospital praises you . It’s hard to not know . I also heard that you’re self-taught . ”
Thank you for the compliments . Your friend is in the ICU so you might not be able to visit her now . If you want to see her, you can come tomorrow morning . I’m going to go home…” Huo Mian didn’t want to continue chatting with this man . She was about to go back to her office and get Qin Chu so they could go home .
“Are you interested in grabbing a late-night snack with me?” the man asked Huo Mian with a devious smirk on his face . “I’m not interested in dining with a stranger,” Huo Mian rejected .
“If you don’t say yes, I’d be unhappy…” the man said .
“So? What do you want from me?” Huo Mian’s brows slightly furrowed . She looked up into the man’s eyes, but she could not see any signs of fright from him .
“Everyone around me knows that I’m very terrifying if I’m unhappy . I don’t want you to see the unhappy side of me .
That would be a disaster,” the man half-threatened .
Huo Mian suddenly laughed and said, “I don’t know if you heard this before, but there is a saying in my country . Don’t be so headstrong because not everyone’s your mommy . ”
Although it sounded a bit strange in English, she was able to convey her message .
Huo Mian had scolded this man before her .
Ian glared at this slim girl before him in disbelief, with a hint of interest . She had a delicate Eastern-looking face .
