Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo
Chapter 58 Meet again
After breakfast, Huo Chenyuan came to the hospital.
In the hospital early in the morning, the corridors were filled with the sound of light footsteps and the hum of instruments. As usual, Dr. Huo led his young students to start a new day of ward rounds.
In the ward area, they came to bed 35. The patient was an elderly man with a haggard face, but his eyes were full of desire to survive.
The patient's condition was complicated and required long-term treatment, but his family's poverty became a major obstacle on his road to recovery.
Doctor Huo saw it and was worried, frowning.
After understanding the medical records, Dr. Huo decided to talk to the patient's family alone.
The patient's mother also came today.
In a softly lit office in the hospital, Dr. Huo sat at his desk. In front of him sat the family member of the patient in bed 35, a middle-aged woman with an anxious face.
Dr. Huo's eyes were gentle, revealing deep empathy.
"First of all, I would like to understand the specific situation of your family so that we can better plan the treatment plan." Dr. Huo's voice was low and steady.
"What is the family's income situation? Besides the patient, is there anyone else in the family who needs care?" Dr. Huo continued to ask, and every sentence revealed his attention to detail.
The family member lowered his head, his voice choking slightly, "We mainly rely on odd jobs to make a living. Since he fell ill, life has become even more difficult. We have two children at home."
Dr. Huo nodded solemnly, expressing deep sympathy for the situation. "I completely understand your current hardship," he said, his tone gentle yet firm. After a moment's thought, he said, "I've heard from my colleagues before that our hospital has a Medicaid fund for families facing financial hardship. It's designed to help ease the financial burden for patients like you."
"That's great. How do I apply?" The family member's eyes were filled with tears.
"I'm not sure about the specifics. I'll arrange for our Doctor Li to talk to you. I heard that this fund can cover part of the treatment costs, including medicines and examinations, and the approval process is relatively quick."
"In addition, I also suggest that you consider consulting social welfare agencies or non-profit organizations. They may be able to provide you with additional help." Dr. Huo's words were like warm sunshine.
The patient's family member looked up, tears welling in their eyes, their gratitude overflowing with words. "Dr. Huo, I really don't know how to express my gratitude..." Her voice trembled, clearly deeply moved.
Dr. Huo responded: "We will do our best and hope that the patient will recover soon."
The patient expressed his gratitude repeatedly and walked out of the office.
After a while, the dean's secretary knocked on the door and entered, saying softly, "Doctor Huo, the dean asks you to go to the conference room immediately. We have foreign doctors coming to our hospital for an exchange meeting today."
Upon learning that foreign colleagues were visiting for exchanges, Huo Chenyuan quickly cleaned up his desk and went to the meeting room.
Stepping into the conference room, Huo Chenyuan looked around. In the center of the conference room stood a large oval table covered with various materials and projection equipment.
The natural light from outside the window shines in evenly through the blinds, creating an environment that is both solemn and warm.
Experts from various countries were either talking in low voices or carefully reading the documents in their hands, each immersed in their own thoughts.
Huo Chenyuan discovered that Ning Tingnan was also among the foreign expert team!
The meeting officially kicked off with the host's announcement. The Vice President delivered a brilliant opening speech on behalf of the hospital, introducing the local medical services and the breakthroughs achieved in recent years, which won rounds of applause.
Next, the second part of the meeting focused on discussions on the latest clinical research and technological advances.
Several experts took turns speaking. Ning Tingnan, as a member of the delegation, also participated in sharing several successful diagnosis and treatment cases of rare cases. His superb professional knowledge amazed everyone present.
Huo Chenyuan provided different insights based on his rich practical experience, and Ning Tingnan even lowered his head to take notes.
During the break of the meeting, Ning Tingnan found an opportunity and walked lightly towards Huo Chenyuan with a faint smile on his lips and an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes.
"Long time no see, Huo Chenyuan, you still look so serious." Her voice was a little tentative, but still polite.
Huo Chenyuan nodded gently, maintaining his due professionalism, and replied, "Ning Tingnan, I didn't expect to meet you here. You've been doing well abroad these years, haven't you? I've seen your name in medical journals many times."
"How have you been these years?" Ning Tingnan went straight to the personal question.
"I'm fine, thank you." Huo Chenyuan didn't expect her to suddenly ask this in the hospital. After a moment of hesitation, he said lightly.
After a few seconds of silence, Ning Tingnan turned to look at Huo Chenyuan, with indescribable emotions flowing in his eyes, "Chenyuan..."
At this time, the Dean's Assistant came over and said, "Everyone is invited to attend the banquet tonight. I hope everyone will be there on time at 7 pm."
The assistant dean's words interrupted Ning Tingnan.
Huo Chenyuan was called away by the dean's assistant to see a case. Ning Tingnan was stunned for a moment as he looked at Huo Chenyuan's back.
At night, as darkness falls, the city lights shine brightly.
The hospital specially arranged a grand banquet for this international exchange activity. The venue was chosen to be the top-floor restaurant of a five-star hotel, where the bustling scene of the entire city could be seen outside the window.
Huo Chenyuan changed into a dark blue custom-made suit. The simple design revealed his extraordinary taste, and the silver-gray tie and cufflinks reflected low-key luxury.
Ning Tingnan chose a lavender dress with a simple yet elegant design. The pearl decoration on the neckline was just right, showing the charm and intelligence of a mature woman.
In the banquet hall, there was melodious music and constant laughter.
Huo Chenyuan sent a WeChat message to Lin Yunzheng: "I will be home late tonight. The hospital has arranged a dinner."
Lin Yunzheng replied with an OK.
When they started eating, Huo Chenyuan chose a seat a little far away from Ning Tingnan, with three people between them. He was not sure whether he was unwilling to talk to Ning Tingnan or was worried about what might happen.
At the same time, he also noticed Ning Tingnan's occasional glances at him, as well as his hesitant expression as if he wanted to say something.
The banquet lasted until after nine o'clock. When it was about to end, Huo Chenyuan saw that Ning Tingnan sent him a WeChat message, "I feel like I drank too much tonight and now I feel a little dizzy. Can you take me back to the hotel?"
"It's inconvenient." Huo Chenyuan replied with only these three words, concise and to the point.
Ning Tingnan was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect Huo Chenyuan to respond like this.
A minute later, Huo Chenyuan received another WeChat message from Ning Tingnan.
