Chapter 234: Chapter 230: Specifically Looking for Him
"Hurry up, everyone inside is getting anxious."
Zhang Hao quickened his pace, but in Qin Miaoke’s eyes, he was still slow as a turtle.
From the moment he received the phone call to the way to the hospital, Zhang Hao’s mind had raced more than once.
Who exactly was it that had undergone what situation that they were so anxious for him to get there?
So when Qin Miaoke was pulling him towards the hospital, Zhang Hao didn’t increase his pace as much as he had hoped to.
Instead, he was very patient in asking what was the matter.
Qin Miaoke let out a sigh "As soon as that patient arrived at the hospital, they insisted that you perform the examination."
"They wouldn’t agree to let any other doctor help, just waiting and waiting."
"It’s fortunate that you came back today, otherwise the leadership in the hospital wouldn’t know what to do."
Zhang Hao felt that things couldn’t be that simple, either the patient didn’t have any physical issues and purposely came to the hospital to find trouble with him,
or they didn’t care for their own health, with diseases changing in the blink of an eye, even a second’s delay could lead to danger.
Upon reaching the consultation room, Zhang Hao could say it was the first time he saw so many people in his own consultation room.
In the past, no matter how busy, there was always a place to stand.
But today, there wasn’t even a spot to stand.
As for that patient who named him specifically to see them, they were naturally among them.
"Doctor Zhang, long time no see."
Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Hao felt it somewhat familiar.
After making his way through the crowd, he finally saw the person.
However, Zhang Hao didn’t recognize them, perhaps he had met them somewhere before.
He had seen them but had no actual contact.
Thinking thus in his heart, the woman then pointed at herself.
"It’s me, we met at a gathering before."
Once gatherings were mentioned, Zhang Hao became even more confused.
Although he didn’t attend many gatherings, they generally comprised handsome men and beautiful women.
Apart from work and study, his memory was quite poor.
Looking at the woman’s face, it looked familiar, but to say he had a deep impression, that would be unlikely.
Zhang Hao really couldn’t recall for a moment, and as he approached the woman, she grabbed his hand.
"Doctor Zhang, you’ve finally come. They said you wouldn’t be in the hospital today, but I didn’t believe it. Look, I only waited a little while and here you are."
Zhang Hao changed into his clothes, answering the woman as usual.
"Indeed, I wasn’t in the hospital. I had a house visit yesterday and just rushed back."
The woman smiled sheepishly "So it was true. I thought your colleagues were lying to me. But since you’re here, I’m not scared of anything."
"I didn’t expect Doctor Zhang could make house visits. If I had known, I would’ve asked you to come to my home for treatment."
The other doctors, seeing Zhang Hao come over, all agreed it was time to get back to their own duties.
Otherwise, standing around here was not only a waste of their time but also a delay for other patients.
Eventually, only the leadership remained without leaving, looking at Zhang Hao with a face full of worry.
Lin Wan, who had nothing to do with the situation, was busy going back and forth.
Seizing the opportunity, the leader called out to her "Nurse Lin, please wait a moment."
Lin Wan was carrying a medical tray with nothing in it.
"What’s the matter, leader?"
"What’s the relationship between that person and Doctor Zhang?"
Lin Wan was also confused "I don’t know, isn’t it just the relationship between a patient and a doctor? Could it be they are lovers?"
If they were lovers, it wouldn’t have caused such a big commotion.
"It doesn’t seem like it, I will ask him later."
Lin Wan nodded and then continued with her work.
As a participant in the whole affair, Qin Miaoke was not curious about who this woman was.
She was only happy that Zhang Hao had returned after she learned that he had gone to another place to perform surgery on a seriously injured patient.
Instinctively, she also wanted to follow, but in the end, she was stopped by the hospital leadership.
What was unsaid was that a nurse like her would be of little use there.
Moreover, after the surgery, Zhang Hao came straight back, not staying outside for long.
However, not seeing Zhang Hao in the morning could not help but make Qin Miaoke somewhat anxious.
But fortunately, Zhang Hao eventually returned, otherwise, she really would have had to find someone and have a serious talk.
Even Zhang Hao himself hadn’t expected that so many people would miss him during his short trip.
It must be said, the feeling of being missed was quite pleasant.
After finishing the consultation with that female patient, Zhang Hao promptly explained everything to his department.
But that female patient was not in a hurry for further treatment.
"Oh, this is an old problem of mine, getting treated a day earlier or a day later doesn’t really matter."
"The whole reason I made such a fuss to come here was just to meet and chat with Doctor Zhang, otherwise, it would be hard even to see you."
At this point, Zhang Hao somewhat felt that this female patient was making a mountain out of a molehill.
According to his personality, he naturally would not indulge this kind of behavior.
"In that case, I don’t need to examine you, wait until you’re truly feeling unwell to come."
Upon hearing this from Zhang Hao, the female patient immediately felt a moment of tension.
"No... no, I was just joking when I said that, Doctor Zhang, you’re really funny."
However, Zhang Hao didn’t care too much; if it was the weekend, under resting circumstances,
whatever was said or done, she wouldn’t have such a strong reaction, but this was a hospital, during his working hours.
He decisively would not allow such situations to occur.
The female patient had no choice but to vacate her seat and give the next patient the opportunity to be seen.
In his spare time, Zhang Hao also tried hard to recall where he might have crossed paths with this woman at a gathering.
But try as he might, he could not figure it out.
This made Zhang Hao start to doubt if he had truly had any contact with this woman.
In the hospital work group chat, without Zhang Hao’s knowledge, it had already blown up.
"Did you see, did you see? That female patient came for Doctor Zhang from the start, not for treatment."
"Luckily the Traditional Chinese Medicine department isn’t as busy as imagined, otherwise Doctor Zhang would surely be annoyed to death."
"Who is that woman, acting like she’s at her own home in the hospital? Thank goodness I don’t work in the TCM department."
"Our Mr. Zhang really has a way with female patients, how many is this now?"
"Several!!"
It wasn’t until off-duty that Zhang Hao had time to look at his phone.
Usually, the group chat that came alive only for work notifications, had today unexpectedly amassed over 99+ messages.
Without opening the group chat, Zhang Hao could already guess the gist of the content.
But people are always curious, so he still clicked in to have a look, as expected, they were discussing him.
While reading the content, he waited for a taxi by the roadside.
Suddenly, he remembered something, was He Qianhui returning today?
With so many things happening these days, Zhang Hao had almost forgotten.
He hurriedly opened the chat with He Qianhui to check, and thankfully, she was not returning today.
This made Zhang Hao breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise, he would have had to kneel and scrub the washboard at home.
Just as a taxi arrived and stopped in front of Zhang Hao, just as he was about to open the door,
the woman who had come for the consultation came running over: "Doctor Zhang, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
