From the time the director brought Xiao Nan over, till they had a patient, and now…
Several hours had passed, and it was already noon, yet Lu Moran still hadn’t left!
“I took a walk around the hospital to see where you work,” Lu Moran said nonchalantly, then looked at Xiao Nan.
“Doctor Xiao, can I have a few words with Doctor Gu alone?”
The words Lu Moran said earlier were to get Xiao Nan out of an awkward situation.
Xiao Nan was naturally grateful, and besides, Lu Moran was very handsome.
Xiao Nan immediately smiled.
She was already sweet-looking, and her smile made her even more endearing.
“Are you a doctor as well?
Also from our hospital?
I’m new here, so I don’t know everyone yet,” Xiao Nan smiled.
Lu Moran shook his head.
“I’m not a doctor anymore.”
At these words, Gu Yi’an was momentarily stunned, looking at Lu Moran in disbelief.
She still remembered clearly how back then, Lu Moran had told her that becoming a doctor was his life’s dream.
He said he could give up everything to pursue medicine.
Even later, when he left her without a word to study abroad, it was also to hone his medical skills.
But now, Lu Moran was saying he wasn’t a doctor anymore!
“Why don’t you practice medicine anymore?” Xiao Nan didn’t think it was strange but asked with wide eyes.
Lu Moran smiled and shook his head.
“I just don’t practice clinical medicine anymore; I’m still working on theory.”
Xiao Nan made a sound of understanding.
“Oh, I see.”
“Doctor Xiao, it’s been a long time since Doctor Gu and I have seen each other.
Can you let us talk alone for a few minutes?” Lu Moran said with a smile, showing his impeccable manners.
“Oh, of course, go ahead and talk.” Xiao Nan said, then turned and walked out, giving a mischievous smile and closing the door behind her.
Lu Moran smiled slightly.
“Anan, remember the first time we went on rounds with our mentor?
You kept your distance from the patients’ families.
When I asked you why, you said you were afraid of seeing them cry..”
“Enough!” Gu Yi’an suddenly stood up, walked straight to the door, and pulled it open, pointing outside.
“Get out.”
Lu Moran was taken aback, a hurt expression in his eyes.
“Anan…”
“Get out!” Gu Yi’an said coldly.
“I’m training my intern and don’t need anyone else’s judgment.
Lu Moran, this isn’t your hospital, and Xiao Nan isn’t your intern.
You have no right to instruct her!
How you teach your interns is your business, but don’t interfere with mine!
Moreover, this is my workplace, not a café for reminiscing!”
Gu Yi’an’s voice was too harsh, and Lu Moran felt an overwhelming coldness seep through him.
Had he really lost her forever?
Lu Moran looked at Gu Yi’an, wounded, unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing Lu Moran still standing there, Gu Yi’an took a deep breath, removed her white coat, and walked out in quick strides.
Seeing Gu Yi’an storming out, Lu Moran quickly followed her.
At this moment, Xiao Nan was watching Gu Yi’an and the chasing Lu Moran with great curiosity.
She nudged Xiao Wei.
“Xiao Wei, you’ve been with Doctor Gu for a long time.
Is she always this difficult?”
Xiao Wei gave Xiao Nan a puzzled look.
“I don’t find Doctor Gu difficult at all.
On the contrary, she’s probably the easiest to get along with.” As long as the work was done well, Doctor Gu didn’t mind in other aspects at all.
“Then why is she always so harsh on me?” Xiao Nan pouted, looking very dissatisfied.
Xiao Wei was speechless, silently thinking: Doctor Gu being harsh?
If I were Doctor Gu, I’d have kicked you out for what you did today!
However, Xiao Wei was an experienced nurse and knew that the director personally brought this Doctor Xiao to Doctor Gu, asking her to look after her.
So, this Doctor Xiao was definitely someone with connections.
She was a nurse but couldn’t afford to offend this well-connected intern.
Xiao Wei didn’t say anything, but Xiao Nan automatically assumed she agreed with her and immediately said, “Xiao Wei, is that handsome guy Doctor Gu’s boyfriend?
They don’t look like it.”
Xiao Wei shook her head.
“I don’t know either.
Sorry, Doctor Xiao, I have a patient who needs a dressing change.
I have to go.”
Watching Xiao Wei leave in a hurry, Xiao Nan stomped her foot in frustration.
Gu Yi’an, who walked out of the duty room in quick steps, headed straight to the cafeteria.
But what made her really angry was that Lu Moran was still following her!
“Anan.” Lu Moran took a few steps to catch up, grabbing her arm.
Gu Yi’an abruptly shook him off.
“Don’t touch me.”
“Anan, can you listen to me calmly?” Lu Moran said helplessly.
Gu Yi’an took a deep breath and calmly asked, “Lu Moran, why did you come back?”
This question made Lu Moran fall silent.
After a long while, Lu Moran finally looked up, his eyes filled with deep affection.
“Anan, if I said it was for you, would you believe me?”
“For me?” Gu Yi’an let out a cold laugh.
Lu Moran sighed.
“Anan, whether you believe it or not, that’s the answer.
Anan, these past few years, I haven’t stopped thinking about you for a single moment.
I…”
“Shut up!” Gu Yi’an’s voice became colder, so did her whole demeanor.
“Lu Moran, the Yan Feifei we met yesterday is your wife.
She has leukemia.
You should know better than I do what leukemia means.
She might not have long to live.
Yet you came to me and told me you’ve been thinking about me all this time?
How do you justify that?”
“Anan, listen to me…”
“Lu Moran.” Gu Yi’an yelled, interrupting Lu Moran, her sharp gaze coldly fixed on him.
“Lu Moran, don’t make me despise you!”
After saying this, Gu Yi’an turned and walked away quickly.
This time, Lu Moran didn’t follow.
Gu Yi’an bypassed the cafeteria and went to the small bamboo grove at the back of the hospital.
In a secluded corner, Gu Yi’an sat on a stone bench, covering her mouth tightly, her shoulders shaking, crying silently.
Lu Moran, how did you become like this?
You left me behind.
I was heartbroken, distressed, and disappointed, but I didn’t despise you; you married another woman, I hated you, but I still didn’t despise you; but today, you’ve truly made me loathe you completely!
Lu Moran, how could you do something so despicable?
Your wife is struggling on the brink of death, and you come to tell the ex-girlfriend you abandoned that you’ve been thinking about her all the time?
How could you be such a jerk?
Is the Gu Yi’an who once loved you so deeply truly someone so disgraceful?
Recalling the past, Gu Yi’an felt an unbelievable pain.
If in the past she still held some hope for Lu Moran, today, she was completely disillusioned!
She felt unwilling and unworthy of the years she spent grieving and hating him.
Such a person didn’t deserve her love, didn’t deserve her pain, and didn’t deserve her hatred!
“Do you also have a family member with a terminal illness?” A pure voice suddenly rang out, and Gu Yi’an immediately stopped crying.
