It was noon.
There were no more patients.
Li Xu stood up and washed his hands and face, trying to wake himself up.
The bleak morning had left him feeling somewhat depressed and sullen.
He had even made plans to call Hu Qiming after work and have him take him out for a drink.
Just as he was taking off his white coat, ready to leave.
Suddenly, the door creaked open again.
A woman stood at the door, covered in sweat and panting, and said to Li Xu, "Excuse me... Are you off duty, Doctor...?"
"Could I bother you for a few minutes?"
Li Xu looked at the woman. 'Isn't this the same woman from earlier?'
'Why is she back?'
"Yes, it's fine. I haven't left yet."
Li Xu subconsciously asked, "Has... has the family member arrived?"
After asking the question, Li Xu shook his head. 'I must be an idiot. What a dumb question to ask…'
