Chapter 603: Chapter 603: The End
Bai Xiao retracted her silver needle and placed it in her acupuncture kit, her expression relaxed, but confusion lingered in her eyes. No one knew that just moments ago, Bai Xiao’s heart had been like a tumultuous sea. Why?
She had discovered that her special ability’s side effects seemed to have changed. Normally, these side effects were controllable, determined by the patient’s recovery. However, after performing acupuncture to relieve Jin Junshan’s pain today, she felt not a hint of cold—a surety that she was as well as could be.
Her hands and feet weren’t trembling, and her palms were warm.
Not just her palms—there was not the slightest hint of cold at the bottom of her heart.
Good heavens!
What in the world was this?
Lately, she hadn’t saved anyone for certain!
She had been on vacation this month.
There had been no time to save anyone.
So, what recent event could have brought about such a change?
The only thing lately was her marriage to Zhiyuan. They had shifted from being fiancés to the closest of companions, a qualitative transformation.
Could it be...
An Zhiyuan had always been the biggest uncertain factor affecting her special ability, originally repressing her ability’s side effects. Now, if it was as she suspected, then it meant the key still lay with An Zhiyuan. With the change in their relationship, the side effects of her ability had completely disappeared.
Of course, whether they had disappeared completely still remained to be seen.
"Doctor Bai, you’re amazing!"
Just as Bai Xiao stepped out of the operating room, Director Zhu Jiang turned around and threw out a comment before heading off to cleanse and change his clothes. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
The nurses and doctors filing out of the operating room each greeted Bai Xiao with great respect as they passed by her.
"Doctor Bai!"
"Doctor Bai!"
"Doctor Bai, what a hard worker you are!"
"Doctor Bai, let me help you with your coat!"
Bai Xiao hurriedly waved her hands, joking about the overwhelming enthusiasm.
"No, no, I can do it myself."
Liu Yun removed her mask, smiled at her, and made a teasing face.
"Doctor Bai, you truly have established your authority. Congratulations."
Liu Yun knew Bai Xiao’s situation well; she frequented Bai Xiao’s home for chats and was well aware of her current status. She understood Bai Xiao, who had a knack for special abilities, now invincible in her skills.
Who else could surpass Bai Xiao in this ability? It irked her when others looked down on Bai Xiao.
After all, they were comrades who had faced life and death together.
She would never forget that night when Bai Xiao had held her hand the entire time; the strength passed through that touch was the foundation of their survival. Nor would she forget how Bai Xiao had looked afterward, her pale face in the dark, her bright eyes like stars in the night, providing hope and miracles.
It then dawned on Bai Xiao that it was Liu Yun stirring up trouble; she had thought so—why else would they seek her out? Not many knew of her reputation; thinking of her was even less likely. This was the realm of surgery, after all—how could there be a place for Traditional Chinese Medicine here?
It was even less likely with Director Jin; was he using his own life as an experiment?
Or did he disdain a long life?
"You really dare say it! Aren’t you afraid that your director will remember this and make things difficult for you next time?" Liu Yun, a resident doctor in surgery, and Bai Xiao in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it was a bit like being an outsider.
Liu Yun, gleeful, replied, "Not likely, Director Zhu is the embodiment of justice, though he is opinionated and rigid! But nothing majorly wrong with him."
Zhu Jiang’s mouth twitched slightly. How could that be considered no major fault?
