Jiang Yao did not return to Lu Xingzhi's ward after she had calmed down. Instead, she returned to the operating room to complete a second minor surgery.
She was afraid that if she went to the ward to look for Lu Xingzhi, she would be so angry that she would be unable to stop herself from pasting the letter on Lu Xingzhi's face.
The second surgery was straightforward. Jiang Yao finished it in about 40 minutes. She washed her hands and changed back into her work clothes before returning to Lu Xingzhi's ward.
It was lunchtime, and Master Cheng had just finished delivering it. When he noticed Jiang Yao entering the room, he asked, "Are you tired? You do not have to go in the afternoon, do you? I see there are a lot of new doctors here."
