On the operating table, Bei Ran quietly lay there.
She only felt a throbbing pain in the skin on her chest, the agony of sulfuric acid burns.
She could never have imagined that today, when she planned to interview at Earth Wedding Company, she would be splashed with sulfuric acid.
Luckily, it was just a splash. If the whole bottle had been poured on her, Bei Ran dared not think of the consequences.
"Why hasn't the Doctor come yet?" Bei Ran asked somewhat anxiously.
The nurse glanced at her, "Doctor Chen, who was assigned to your emergency case, went to see other patients with more severe burns. Many employees from your company were splashed with sulfuric acid today, and Director Gu has also hurried over."
Whether Director Gu came or not, Bei Ran didn't really care; she had other matters to deal with, so she wanted to leave quickly.
At that moment, a man in a white doctor's coat and wearing a mask entered the operating room. The nurse exclaimed with delight, "Director Gu is here, you are really lucky! Director Gu is the most handsome man in our hospital. To be operated on by him personally, you must have accumulated several lifetimes of good fortune..."
Bei Ran looked over, he was clad entirely in white, so immaculate that not a speck of dust could be seen, his hair was black and shiny, the mask covered most of his face, and all that was visible were a pair of deep, Aegean Sea-like eyes fixed on her.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't help blushing!
She was a woman who had been married for four years, the first time exposing herself in front of someone else...
Even though he was a doctor, she still couldn't appear nonchalant.
In contrast, Gu Qingchen, upon entering the operating room and seeing a woman lying on the operation table, remained calm and quiet, like the deepest part of the ocean in the night, undisturbed by any wave.
Examining the burn, treating the wound, the process was somewhat painful; Bei Ran's eyes moistened with tears, but she clenched her fists tightly, refusing to let the tears fall.
All this time, Gu Qingchen never looked directly at Bei Ran; his deep, calm, Aegean Sea-like eyes stayed fixed on the burn on her chest.
"All done. The wound mustn't come in contact with water, and the dressing needs to be changed daily," Gu Qingchen announced as he entered the operating room, his first statement.
Bei Ran's teeth bit tightly on her lower lip, showing two deep marks. She still felt a fiery pain, unsure if it was from the sulfuric acid on her chest or because of this man's consistent attitude towards her?
"Yes!" she responded quietly.
At this moment, the nurse turned around and began clearing up.
Bei Ran couldn't help but steal another glance at Gu Qingchen. In her heart, she also wondered, was he treating his other female patients with the same impartiality?
As Gu Qingchen was about to leave, seeing her blushing cheeks, he whispered in her ear in a voice only Bei Ran could hear, "Wife, we've been married for four years, are you still this shy?"
