“Ahem ahem.” Cheng Yi gently coughed twice to remind Luo Xiuen of the situation. Luo Xiuen had been concentrating on Jian Yiling.

Luo Xiuen raised her head to look at Hong Baizhang. Her expression showed slight disgust before she said: “Old Man Hong, we came here to visit a friend. I don’t want to do anything work-related. Please don’t talk to me about that.”

“A friend? Which one here is your friend?” Hong Baizhang asked. He was quite curious about this matter.

He wanted to know what Luo Xiuen and Cheng Yi’s friends were like.

“Well, I said I was visiting a friend. Of course, it’s the one lying down right now. Unless you think I’m visiting someone who is standing up? But why would I do that in a hospital?”

Hong Baizhang looked rather embarrassed. As always, Dr. Luo was blunt with her words. She never tried to sugarcoat her words.

And then, Hong Baizhang took a serious look at the person lying on the bed.

However, all he saw was a thin and weak girl.

The girl was evidently quite young. She looked like a middle school student. Furthermore, her age discrepancy with Luo Xiuen and Cheng Yi was quite large.

Now, this was quite strange…

“Dr. Luo, did you say she…”

Was this the ‘friend’ that they were visiting?

“What? What’s the problem?” Luo Xiuen replied.

Hong Baizhang definitely did not have a problem with this.

However, he thought that the situation was quite ‘strange’.

Whenever he spoke with Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen, it was hard to keep up with their thoughts.

Then how did this little girl, who was lying on the hospital bed right now, manage to become friends with them?

Whilst Hong Baizhang was confused, the others in the hospital room right now were also confused. In fact, they were even more confused than Hong Baizhang.

“Director Hong, do you recognize the two of them?” Jian Shuxing asked.

“Yep. They’re researchers from the Huiling Medical Research Institution.”

The term ‘researcher’ seemed quite common when you heard it. However, the effect was completely different when you added the ‘Huling Medical Research Institution’ to it.

They were the most talented ‘researchers’ in the industry.

All of a sudden, Jian Shuxing remembered why he thought these two people looked familiar.

When he had been searching for doctors and surgeons to perform Jian Yunnao’s operation, he had seen the relevant data of the two people in front of him.

Both of them were top researchers in their respective fields.

However, the important thing was, the person who was going to perform their son’s nerve repair surgery was also from the Huiling Medical Research Institution.

And this, the moment when everyone heard the phrase ‘Huiling Medical Research Institution’, their expressions completely changed.

Even Jian Yunnao’s attention got drawn to the man and woman that were standing in the room.

He knew that the surgeon who was going to operate on his hand was affiliated with this institution.

And he knew that he would be soon checking himself into the ward of the institution.

This made him want to go up and take a look at the two individuals that were standing in the room. In fact, he even had the urge to ask them about the mysterious surgeon who was going to operate on him.

In Jian Yunnao’s heart, the Huiling Medical Research Institution was a symbol of hope. Everything and everyone related to the institution had the same light to them.

Even Grandma Jian couldn’t help but take a second look at Luo Xiuen and Cheng Yi.

Grandma Jian’s gaze lingered on Cheng Yi for a moment.

The man looked like a gentleman. He was good looking, not too old, and quite knowledgeable.

Grandma Jian was delighted that her darling had made such an outstanding friend.

“Dr. Cheng and Dr. Luo, I never expected to meet the two of you here.”

Jian Shuxing took the initiative to greet the two of them. His words were polite and courteous.
