"Sorry, everyone, I'm a bit tired now and would like to rest for a while."
Ye Xiu paused slightly. He knew there would be some trouble coming out, as he had experienced this more than once before. However, he hadn't expected this level of commotion this time.
But soon, he regained his composure and calmly said, "Alright, alright, doctors, Dr. Nash has just finished surgery and is feeling tired. Please don't make things difficult for Dr. Nash."
Seeing that some still looked unwilling and wanted to continue pressing, sensing Ye Xiu's fatigue and being familiar with Ye Xiu's hospital habits, one of the hospital administrators quickly stepped in to intercept the enthusiastic doctors.
"Thank you, Dean Blanc."
Ye Xiu gave a grateful glance to the dean.
"You're welcome, it's what I should do. Dr. Nash, our first phase of collaboration has been completed, and it has been a very pleasant cooperation. I hope we can continue working together in the future. What do you think, Dr. Nash?"
Feeling Ye Xiu's gratitude, Dean Blanc's face showed a hint of happiness. He gestured repeatedly and then looked at Ye Xiu with a questioning expression.
Although the surgery fees charged by Ye Xiu were surprisingly high, causing him considerable pain, Ye Xiu's success rate in surgery was also surprisingly high. Up to now, they had collaborated five times without a single failure, bringing enormous benefits to the hospital. Naturally, he didn't want the collaboration to end like this.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have to disappoint Dean Blanc."
Ye Xiu shook his head.
"Oh, why?"
Dean Blanc became anxious.
Through several surgeries with Ye Xiu, he deeply understood Ye Xiu's medical skills. If it was a matter of price, it could still be negotiated.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes as he thought about the old man mentioned by Ye Xiu, that shrewd and greedy old fellow named Nasy. Dean Blanc felt a headache coming on. He could even imagine that negotiating for the second phase of collaboration might not be easy and might end up being heavily exploited again.
"Please inform Mr. Nasy that the remaining fees will be transferred to the account he specified as scheduled."
"Alright, thank you, Dean Blanc. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Xiu nodded and then turned towards the direction of the hospital gate.
"Dr. Nash!"
But just as Ye Xiu was about to take his first step, a somewhat urgent shout suddenly rang out.
"Hmm?"
Ye Xiu turned his head, looking puzzled in the direction of the voice.
"Dr. Nash, could we see your true face?"
The one shouting was a doctor who had just hurried out of the operating room, the rare first assistant with an Asian face in this hospital.
Feeling Ye Xiu's gaze, her already somewhat urgent and nervous expression became even more tense. But she gathered her courage and spoke out what she wanted to say.
Upon hearing her words, the other doctors' eyes lit up, and their gazes all turned towards Ye Xiu, even Dean Blanc's eyes showed a hint of expectation as he looked at Ye Xiu.
Indeed, even as the dean, it seemed he had never seen Ye Xiu's true face. Every time he appeared at the hospital, Ye Xiu always wore a mask.
"I'm sorry."
Ye Xiu was slightly stunned. He recognized this female doctor, named Lv Bing, from Hongcheng. Not only was she very beautiful, but she also had exceptional talent in medicine. Moreover, she was very diligent and stubborn. No matter how long the surgery lasted or how tired she was, she never complained.
She had been his assistant in a previous surgery, and after two collaborations, he had a very good impression of her.
If she had other medical requests, he might be able to fulfill them, but her question touched on something the old man had repeatedly instructed not to reveal...
A hint of regret appeared in his eyes as he said to the doctors full of expectation, "I'm sorry," then turned around and continued walking towards the hospital gate.
Lv Bing's gaze followed Ye Xiu's gradually retreating figure, her eyes filled with disappointment and regret.
Just three days ago, she had decided to accept an offer from a high-end hospital in Huaxia and return to work there.
It was precisely because of this that she had gathered the courage to call out to Ye Xiu, hoping to see his true face before leaving.
However, even though their collaboration was brief, she had already been deeply impressed by this mysterious doctor. She had never seen anyone perform surgery so perfectly, so miraculously!
Thinking that she might never have the chance to meet this doctor named Nash again, that she might never have the chance to work with him again, and that she might never see his true face...
A sense of loss welled up in Lv Bing's heart.
"Dean, have you ever seen Dr. Nash's true face?"
As Ye Xiu's figure gradually disappeared, the other doctors finally came back to their senses, turning to look at the dean.
"No."
The dean shook his head.
"You haven't seen it either, Dean?"
The doctors were all surprised, their faces showing disbelief.
The dean forced a bitter smile onto his face. It wasn't surprising they found it hard to believe. Even he himself, thinking back to that incident, to that scene, still felt like it was a dream.
An inexplicable old man suddenly appeared and told him that he had a doctor who could cure a terminally ill patient under his command. He had inexplicably agreed, allowing a mysterious doctor he hadn't even seen the face of to perform surgery on that patient! And even more unbelievably, that mysterious doctor had actually cured the patient! Through surgeries almost approaching perfection, like today's!
"It's strange. Who exactly is this mysterious Dr. Nash, and why have I never heard of him before?"
"Yeah, he looks like he's Asian. When did Asia produce such a talented doctor? We know all the talented doctors from Japan and Taiwan."
"... "
Confirming that the dean's expression didn't seem like he was deceiving them, the group of doctors all showed puzzled expressions, gossiping with curiosity about the true identity of this mysterious Dr. Nash.
