Lu Feifan was so tired that his waist felt sore. He stood up and shook his body a few times before wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead.
Su Hanyan saw that there was a blanket at the headboard, so she placed it over the lying man's body and tucked him in.
Just as she was about to leave, a warm and strong hand grabbed her wrist tightly. She was stunned because the person who had grabbed her was none other than Jin Chen.
"Hey… this…" She tried to break free from his grip.
However, that hand was so strong and the grip was tight. If not for the fact that the man in front of her was a doctor and had treated her that way the previous time, she would really think that he had ulterior motives toward her.
"Shh." Lu Feifan placed his index finger by his mouth and reminded her softly. "Miss, don't be anxious. He's not asleep yet; he'll be fine once he falls asleep."
"Ah? How long will that take?"
"It should be soon." Lu Feifan looked at the exhausted Jin Chen. "Don't worry. He's not taking advantage of you. He experienced some traumatizing things in the past, so he will hold something tightly when he sleeps… Perhaps he thought of your hand as that something?"
"Oh." Su Hanyan nodded.
She did not feel any repulsion toward this doctor who had saved her father. She was a person from the twenty-first century, so she was pretty open to physical contact.
Besides, he had a reason.
Lu Feifan was worried since she was a girl and it was not too good if Jin Chen refused to let her go. Moreover, the man was a doctor in the hospital. No matter what he did, he must be mindful of his image and sense of propriety. It would not be good if others saw him like this and would only invite gossip and trouble.
Therefore, Lu Feifan stood up and closed the door.
"Miss, what's your name?" He pulled a chair over and started chatting with her.
"Su Hanyan."
"My name is Lu Feifan, and I'm a doctor from the Department of Anesthesiology. Thank you for your help today. If there's anyone in the family who needs treatment, you can come to the hospital and look for me directly. I'll definitely help."
"Really? That's great! Thank you," she said politely.
"You're welcome." Feeling a chill after he sat down, he spoke again. "Let me get you a glass of water. The weather is cold; a glass of water will warm you up."
"That's not necessary," rejected Su Hanyan worriedly. "I just want to know how long it will be before I can leave. I'm accompanying my father here right now for his postoperative checkup and to have his stitches removed. I'm just afraid that it will be more trouble if my father doesn't see me."
"I see." Lu Feifan thought for a while. "Try it again. If it really doesn't work, I'll peel his fingers away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strength in Jin Chen's hand slowly faded.
When Su Hanyan could move her wrist again, she gently removed his hand and placed it beside him. She stood up and said goodbye to Lu Feifan before leaving the doctor's office.
When she got back, Su Dajiang's stitches had just been removed. His face was pale from the pain.
"Dad, are you alright?" She held his hand tightly. "Don't worry. The pain will disappear soon."
"How can it be that easy? Even if the stitches are removed, it will take a day or two!" Wei Guiqin said.
"It's fine. It's bearable, much less painful than the surgery." Although he said that, his forehead was still covered in a sheen of sweat.
Su Hanyan knew that he was in pain, so she muttered inwardly how she wanted to help her father get rid of the pain. Suddenly, the blue light in her palm glowed, and it flowed along her father's veins toward the painful wound.
