Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

At noon, Dr. Huo had just completed a difficult surgery. The tense atmosphere in the operating room seemed to still linger around him. The operation lasted for several hours, and every step required his full concentration.

At this moment, he was wearing a slightly wrinkled green surgical gown, and his forehead was slightly sweating. The previous sweat wet his hair and slid down his cheeks to his collar.

Doctor Huo slowly walked to the locker room and found an empty seat, just wanting to catch his breath. His back pressed tightly against the chair, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in that instant.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest, he faintly heard the hushed voices of several doctors talking from the other side of the locker room.

At first, he didn't pay attention, but gradually, a few clear words came into his ears.

"Did you know? The director of orthopedics is getting married for the second time." A male doctor's voice sounded slightly surprised.

"Really? I'm not quite sure yet." Another voice responded.

"Yes, I heard that his current wife is his graduate student, who is nearly 20 years younger than him." The person who spoke seemed to have a hint of gossip in his smile.

"This... the age span is quite large, but this is not unprecedented." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

Dr. Huo frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his heart.

"Hey, this matter has been widely circulated in the hospital, and no one knows whether it is true or not. However, if it is true, the relationship is quite subtle." Another voice joined the discussion.

"Who says it isn't?"

"I also heard that Zhao Wan, the intern under Dr. Huo, is no pushover either." As soon as these words were spoken, the originally small locker room was instantly filled with an even stronger atmosphere of gossip.

"Oh? What happened? Tell me quickly." The curiosity of several people was aroused and they all moved closer to the doctor who had just spoken.

"I heard from others that Zhao Wan always finds various excuses to run to Director Huo's office. I don't know what she is thinking. Maybe she wants to climb up the social ladder." The doctor said in a low voice with a mysterious look on his face.

"No way? Director Huo is not that kind of person. We have witnessed Director Huo's aloofness over the years... He is not close to all the female doctors, and he almost never attends any departmental dinners." Some people expressed doubts about this.

"Hmph, who knows. This girl is quite pretty, maybe she used some tricks. Deputy Director Wang's wife came to the department to make a fuss yesterday. Why do I feel that the mistress might be this Doctor Zhao Wan?" A doctor said in a low and confident voice.

"Anyway, I've heard a lot of rumors. It's said that one time, very late at night, Zhao Wan was alone in Deputy Director Wang's office, and no one knew what the two were doing in there. But I heard that Dr. Zhao really wanted to publish a paper... There were also some rumors about her and her doctoral supervisor back then." Someone described it with exaggeration.

When Dr. Huo heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

He walked to the other side of the locker room with steady and powerful steps.

Just now, because of the cabinet between them, the doctors did not notice Dr. Huo's arrival. Now when they saw Dr. Huo standing in front of them, they were so scared that they quickly shut their mouths, with panic expressions on their faces.

"Hello, Director Huo." Several people greeted in unison.

Doctor Huo glanced at them sharply and said in a serious tone, "Change your clothes and get back to work immediately."

The doctors hurriedly tidied up their clothes and left the locker room.

Dr. Huo sighed slightly, but he took this matter very seriously.

He turned and left the locker room, heading straight for Deputy Director Wang's office.

Deputy Director Wang was sitting at his desk looking through some documents. When he saw Doctor Huo come in, he was startled for a moment, then stood up with an unnatural smile on his face: "Director Huo, what are you doing..."

Dr. Huo didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point, "I just heard that there's something going on between you and Zhao Wan? What's going on?"

Deputy Director Wang's face turned pale instantly. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Alas, Director Huo, I... I was indeed seduced by Zhao Wan..."

Deputy Director Wang recounted the story in a disjointed manner.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Huo's expression became even more serious, and he stared at Deputy Director Wang.

"Deputy Director Wang, this is no joke. Are you sure this is what happened?" Dr. Huo asked seriously.

Deputy Director Wang's face was filled with regret as he nodded heavily. "Director Huo, it's absolutely true. Zhao Wan came to me and said she was in need of a high-quality paper and hoped I could help her with the authorship. I rejected her at the time, but it was too late. At first, I thought she liked me, and I had a few drinks that day, so she and I...she only made the request afterward."
