not your best friend

Always try my best.

After arriving at the hotel where I was staying, I just put down my things and hurriedly followed my colleagues into the car again and rushed to the hospital.The little girl is waiting for her in the hospital ward at the moment.

The distance between the two places is not far, and they will arrive at their destination in a short while.

The girl's parents expressed their sincere gratitude to Huo Wan for coming.

The word 'Thankyou' appeared so frequently in their mouths that they probably couldn't express their gratitude in words.After all, Huo Wan has not been a doctor in this hospital for a long time, and he has no obligation to promise them to fly all the way from China to come here just for their daughter.

Huo Wan didn't talk too much with the two parents. After a few polite words, she proposed to meet the child patient who wanted to meet her first.

The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and the people in the room were also attracted by the movement of the door, and all looked towards the door.

Half of Huo Wan's body had already leaned into the ward, but besides the little girl lying quietly on the hospital bed, she also saw another person she was very familiar with.

2019.2.20

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The woman in the ward was sitting on the chair beside the bed. She was not surprised to see Huo Wan coming in from the outside. Instead, she smiled calmly and greeted Huo Wan, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time. generally.

It was as if they had already expected to meet each other in this place.

The atmosphere in the ward became a little delicate at this moment.

Different from the other party's calm and naturalness, Huo Wan expressed her surprise well with the expression on her face.

Can she not be surprised?

Who would have thought that she would reunite with her ex-girlfriend under such circumstances, and not long ago, she wondered whether she would run into each other when she returned to London this time.

Life is like a drama, you can do whatever you want.

"Why doesn't Dr. Huo go in?"

The girl's parents asked outside, but Huo Wan stopped at the door, forgetting that there was someone behind him.

Only after being reminded by this sound did he react from the shock, and then he took another step and continued walking into the ward.

The decoration of the hospital's wards is exactly the same, mainly in white and cool tones, and it feels inexplicably cold as soon as you enter.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, it is very similar in this point.

It's just that because of the high cost of treatment, people in foreign countries rarely come to the hospital when they are sick, let alone hospitalized.

So sometimes Huo Wan still misses the days of working here. Compared with working in China, it is simply a world of difference.Of course, the main reason is that the workload varies greatly.

The little girl stared at Huo Wan who walked in from the outside without blinking her big round eyes, obviously recognizing this big sister who was once very close to her.

It's just that because of the oxygen mask on his mouth, the words he spoke were inaudible, and Huo Wan didn't hear the other party calling her.

Seeing this scene, I can't help but feel distressed. Such a young and lively life should be living freely under the blue sky and running on the earth at such a good age.But now my whole body is covered with tubes, and I can't even breathe freely. What kind of sadness is this?

Rao is used to seeing life and death, but still can't help feeling sad.

But the little girl on the bed didn't seem to want the doctor sister in front of her to be sad for her.

She bent her clear eyes and tried hard to make a sound from her throat for Huo Wan to hear.

This time Huo Wan heard it, she walked gently to the bed and squatted down, slightly looking up at the person on the bed.

The faint voice reached her ears, and it wasn't as bad as she imagined, and the girl's tone was still cheerful.

"Sister Huo has become much prettier again."

The little girl said this, as if they were not in the hospital now, but met by chance on the road.

As if she is not a patient now.There are no various tubes inserted in the body.

As if..the person who was dying was not her.

Hearing this sentence, Huo Wan's nose soured, and tears almost fell down.Rao is now old, but in a special environment and occasion, he will still burst into tears every second.

"Yes, I also think sister Huo is much more beautiful."

Sara smiled lowly and echoed the little patient's words, and then turned her head to look at Huo Wan, which is considered a compliment.

She communicated with the little girl in a very normal tone, as if she was not dealing with a sick person, but a healthy person.

The other people in the ward also started to talk in a hurry when they heard this.

It was a little noisy, but Huo Wan found one thing in common, that is, everyone's tone was very relaxed and cheerful, without any dull or sad meaning.

Such a relaxed and cheerful conversation atmosphere made the little patient lying on the bed feel happy, and occasionally wanted to open his mouth and try to insert a few words into everyone's topic.

Huo Wan seemed to understand something, swept away his previous sad mood, and had a relaxed and interesting chat with the little girl with a warm smile on his face, and then helped her to check on her condition.

After leaving the ward, she directly communicated with the other party's current attending doctor, and she brought the materials she had sorted out before going abroad.

All of these were translated into English by her all night long.

The two talked for a long time in the office, and finally reached a consensus on treatment opinions.

At this point, her mission is almost over.

It was a very simple matter at first, but it was just because I couldn't see the patient herself, so I couldn't confirm the progress of her disease in the past six months, so I had to travel thousands of miles to the UK.

Huo Wan thought, anyway, the child will have an operation in a week later, so it's not too late for her to leave after the operation.

In fact, I can't rest assured.. Although China has long ago said that "life and death have fate".

As a guest who came from afar, Huo Wan's dinner was settled under the warm invitation of the girl's parents.Because it was too late to go home and prepare, I simply found a good restaurant nearby to eat, and Sara was also invited.

Originally, she graduated from the same university as Huo Wan. After chatting with her, she found out that the girl still has mild depression. When Sara was in college, her main major was psychology, so she was hired by the girl's parents to communicate with the child. So far. .has been around for a long time.

It probably started after Huo Wan left London.

There are four people at a table, and Huo Wan is the only Asian. How strange this combination looks.And after a few years, I sat down to eat with my ex-girlfriend again. This feeling is really strange and awkward.

While Huo Wan was absent-mindedly eating, she was distracted talking to the British couple across the table. Because she had been here for a long time, her English pronunciation could not help but tinge a little bit of British pronunciation.Coupled with her unique Chinese accent, her speech is very recognizable.

It's not true about the treatment of students, let's treat it too enthusiastically...not at all.

And now she has a girlfriend... no, a prospective girlfriend, so she also understands the principle of not getting too close to her ex.

The meal was finished quickly, everyone said goodbye to each other politely, until the British couple got into the car and gradually drove away, Huo Wan found that the person standing beside him didn't seem to want to leave?But she was ready to go back to the hotel because her cell phone was about to run out of battery.

However, just when she was hesitating how to open her mouth to escape, the other party seemed to have guessed her mind and cut off her retreat first.

"Aren't you going to have a drink and chat? Or are you so tired of seeing me?"

Such a normal request seems to be understandable, Huo Wan thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong.

In terms of emotion and reason, Sara also took care of herself a lot at the beginning, and it would be too unreasonable to refuse.

She knows that the customs here are different from those in China, and there are not so many things to pay attention to, so there is no way to conclude that the other party wants to rekindle their old relationship just because of an ordinary invitation.

Especially the drama like 'a good ex should be like a dead man', which doesn't exist in the UK.

Probably only Chinese people in the world have such an idea.

Thinking of this, Huo Wan's expression suddenly became much more natural.

That's right, I just need to treat her as an ordinary friend whom I haven't seen for a long time, and treat the past between the two of them as if it never happened.

Originally, she wanted to reach out and stop a car on the street, but Sara stopped Huo Wan, saying that there was a tavern on this street, so there was no need to take a taxi.

So the two walked side by side on the streets of London, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies, as if sprinkled with a little bit of golden sand, and the shadows on the roadside were stretched out.

The two talked happily along the way, and Huo Wan gradually regained the natural feeling of getting along with each other before, the sense of restraint gradually faded away and he began to talk more.

"Are you afraid of me... pestering you?"

The tavern is indeed not far from the restaurant just now, but it's just over ten minutes away.

The two of them sat down on their backs, and before their buttocks were hot, Sara stared at the person opposite with a half-smile, as if a flower could be seen on Huo Wan's face.

Her eyes are beautiful, with light brown eyeballs, pure natural things look much more natural than those artificial contact lenses.

Huo Wan used to like this pair of eyes very much, it can be said that he was attracted at first,
