Union Of Enemies Chapter 3

‘Doctor Zhen,’ a young pretty nurse called. She fluttered her eyelashes under a thick layer of mascara. ‘Mr w.a.n.g’s back for another check up, he requested to see you.’

Zhen Lang lifted his head from reading a patient’s medical file. He wore a white collar s.h.i.+rt and trousers. He wore gla.s.ses on his nose, which made him look as stern as his work att.i.tude. ‘Ok.’ He nodded his head. ‘I’ll be right there.’

The young nurse was mesmerised by his smooth voice and she stood on the same spot by Zhen Lang’s office door.

Zhen Lang lifted his head again when he noticed the young nurse didn’t leave. ‘Is there anything else?’

‘Uh…’ the young nurse said and she blushed. ‘I… I wanted to ask you if you wanted to eat something, Mr w.a.n.g brought a lot of gifts, I can bring you the edible gifts.’

Zhen Lang smiled politely and nodded his head. ‘Ok, thank you.’

The young nurse flew off. Zhen Lang took off his gla.s.ses and put it on his desk. He stood, looked outside his office window, his stern eyes softened and he smiled brightly.

Zhen Lang propped his palms on the windowsill. He liked that his office was on the fifth floor of the hospital and it gave him a clear city view. He could see the best city restaurant and cafe across the road and most importantly – Girl Studio, a famous studio in the city.

An ambulance was parked outside the studio and it quickly returned to the hospital. Zhen Lang smiled and sighed at the same time, he pitied the unlucky man who encountered a fierce opponent.

Zhen Lang glanced at the clock on the wall, it was still early but he didn’t know how much longer Gu Jing could restrain herself. Because yesterday he received a phone call from his mum who informed him that aunty Gu was going visit him and Gu Jing’s home. He smiled, he was worried the volcanic Gu Jing was going to charge into his office soon.

‘Zhen… Doctor Zhen,’ the young nurse called.

The young nurse couldn’t believe her eyes. The stern Dr Zhen was smiling brightly and his stern eyes were warm.

Zhen Lang put on his gla.s.ses and he composed himself. He accepted the box of sweet pastries from the young nurse and put the box on his desk. He politely smiled. ‘Thank you. I’ll eat it later. I’ll go see Mr w.a.n.g first.’

Zhen Lang walked pa.s.sed the young nurse and he found Mr w.a.n.g waiting outside near his office. ‘Mr w.a.n.g, how are you feeling?’

‘Good. All thanks to a young national gem surgeon like you. Thanks to your surgical skills, my life was saved,’ Mr w.a.n.g said.

‘It was a standard surgery, the likelihood of it being unsuccessful was low,’ Zhen Lang said humbly.

‘Good, you’re not arrogant or hot headed. You’re a responsible and ethical man,’ Mr w.a.n.g praised. He patted his granddaughter’s hand. ‘Shao Huang, this is Doctor Zhen. If it won’t for him, I wouldn’t be alive to go home with you.’

w.a.n.g Shao Huang stomped her foot in protest. ‘Grandpa, don’t speak nonsense. You’re going to live to a ripe age pa.s.s one hundred years old.’

Mr w.a.n.g laughed a jolly laugh. ‘Doctor Zhen don’t mind my laughable granddaughter. She just came back from overseas so she’s just sulking because she hasn’t seen me for a long time.’

‘I won’t,’ Zhen Lang said politely.

‘Doctor Zhen, has my grandpa recovered from his surgery?’ w.a.n.g Shao Huang asked.

w.a.n.g Shao Huang was a beautiful young girl. Her long hair and the sweet smile on her face was like a little lively doll. But Zhen Lang just glanced at her once and he focused on the medical file in his hand. ‘Not bad. But he shouldn’t overexert himself and take plenty of rest.’

Mr w.a.n.g nodded his head. w.a.n.g Shao Huang wanted to say something but a disgruntled patient’s loud voice interrupted their conversation.

‘That b.i.t.c.h, I won’t let that girl off the hook! Where’s the doctor? Why isn’t the doctor here? Is the doctor looking down on me because the doctor thinks I don’t have money?’ the man beaten by a Gu Jing said.

‘Sorry, I need to attend to the new patient admitted to the hospital,’ Zhen Lang said and he quickly walked toward the emergency ward.

The man laid on a stretcher and he waved his hand in the air to threaten the paramedics who wheeled him into the hospital. Zhen Lang pressed the man’s hand down on the stretcher.

‘Ow!’ the man cried out.

The man a.s.sessed his captor, who looked like a stern young man with gla.s.ses. The man thought he couldn’t beat the b.i.t.c.h but he could easily beat the young man in front of him. ‘b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What are you doing? Do you want a beating?’

‘If your ribs are fractured, it could puncture your lungs and you won’t live longer than half an hour. If it punctures your heart, you won’t live longer than fifteen minutes,’ Zhen Lang warned. He looked at his wrist.w.a.tch. ‘If you want to die, I’ll help you record your time of death.’

‘I, I…’ the man stammered and he laid motionless on the stretcher.

Zhen Lang smiled charmingly. ‘Also, I’m a doctor. If you want to chase me away then it means you’re refusing treatment which is good for the hospital, because the hospital won’t be responsible for delaying treatment. Remember to call your family and explain to them about your decision within the time you have left, it’ll save them money suing the hospital.’

‘I… what should I do now?’ the man asked.

‘From the sound of your voice, it appears you’ve fractured your ribs so you’ll need to be examined thoroughly. Your fractured ribs can affect other vital organs and-’

‘You, you… don’t say anymore,’ the man said. His whole body trembled. ‘I want to have a complete health check, I’ll follow your recommendation.’

‘Then you’ll need an x-ray, CT scan… um, I’ll give your nurse a list. Also, you’ll need to have blood tests too,’ Zhen Lang said.

‘Why do I need to have a blood test?’ the man asked.

‘I’m worried you have internal haemorrhaging-’ Zhen Lang said.

‘Ok, take me wherever I need to go for testing,’ the man said.

The young nurse who wore thick mascara helped wheeled the man for body scans.

‘Nurse, is there a doctor here named Zhen Lang?’ the man asked.

‘Doctor Zhen? He’s the doctor who helped examined you before,’ the young nurse said.

‘The doctor before… if the two of them combined, one person injuring a man and the other person saving the injured man… they’ll be a pair of professional scammers! It’s robbery in broad daylight!’ the man protested.

One half of the alleged ‘professional scammers’ returned to his office. He looked outside his office window and he saw Gu Jing walked across the road and she jumped over the hospital’s fence. She entered the hospital and he lost sight of her.

Zhen Lang heard a knock on his door and he quickly turned around, he was disappointed it was w.a.n.g Shao Huang.

‘Doctor Zhen, my grandpa wants to invite you to a banquet to celebrate his recovery. He hopes you’ll come,’ w.a.n.g Shao Huang said.

w.a.n.g Shao Huang a.s.sessed Zhen Lang’s bright smile and she a.s.sumed he wasn’t immune to building a good connection with the w.a.n.g household. But Zhen Lang wasn’t smiling at her… before she could ask him if he was accepting the banquet invite, the door slammed into her face.

‘Hey!’ Gu Jing cried out. She slammed her palms onto Zhen Lang’s table. ‘Are you coming over my place tonight or am I coming over your place?’

‘There’s more room at my place, come to my place tonight,’ Zhen Lang said.

‘Ok!’ Gu Jing said. She turned around and she saw a young nurse blushed and a young girl rubbed their cheeks. Her eyes lit up mischievously. She blew Zhen Lang a kiss. ‘Tonight, remember to wash your bottom and wait for me.’

w.a.n.g Shao Huang and the young nurse were shocked and they both took a deep breath at the same time.

Zhen Lang’s bright smile didn’t change. ‘Ok. Your husky voice today is very s.e.xy. I can’t wait to hear you scream tonight with your husky voice.’

Gu Jing walked pa.s.sed w.a.n.g Shao Huang and the young nurse, and she heard them took another deep breath. She felt triumphant she spoiled Zhen Lang’s plans with his beauties at the hospital, and all of her frustrations and anxiety built up through the day were melted.
