Chapter 143 - Patient

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the young nurse stuttered, Fang Liu did not doubt her words. Because Fang Liu was now a doctor, she became less cautious and suspicious of the people around her.

Fang Liu proceeded to ask, “Can’t that patient come to my office instead?”

The nurse shook her head and explained, “That patient is an influential person. That’s why he’s in a private room.”

Fang Liu was confused when she heard the young nurse’s words. If one needed access to a private room, they would have to make a reservation, and only special-class doctors could enter such a place. But Fang Liu was only a level-three doctor.

‘The young nurse was flustered when she finished speaking, so she remained silent for a long while. Then she looked at Fang Liu pitifully and said, “Doctor Fang, shall we get going?”

Fang Liu was unaware of the differences between the consultation rooms. She looked at the nurse’s anxious expression but thought nothing of it. Then she followed the young nurse’s lead.

‘The young nurse opened the door as they arrived at the private room. When Fang Liu entered, she suddenly caught the smell of incense. After all, it was a private room only special-class doctors could enter.

Since Fang Liu was pregnant, she had a heightened sense of smell and was familiar with several scents. She was relieved to find out that the incense had a calming effect that would not negatively affect her.

The office’s consultation area was more extensive than Fang Liu’s, but there weren’t many facilities, so it looked empty. There was a bamboo-print curtain about five to six meters ahead, and a vague figure could be seen.

Fang Liu guessed that this was the patient. She took a deep breath and said, “Hello, I’m the doctor who will be consulting you today.”

The patient remained still, and when he heard Fang Liu’s words, he said, “Please, come in.” The patient’s voice was clear, with a hint of hoarseness. It was pleasant to hear.

‘When Fang Liu heard the patient’s voice, she felt a vague familiarity. That strange feeling flashed through Fang Liu’s mind, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard this person’s voice before.

Fang Liu walked forward and pulled the curtain open, wanting to see the patient’s face. Fang Liu knew that she could remember where she had heard the patient’s voice if she could see his face.

But when Fang Liu pulled the curtain open, she saw that the patient was wearing a silver mask. The upper half of the man’s face was covered by the mask, only revealing lips and lower jaw.

The man raised his head and said politely, “Please, have a seat, doctor. His soft and pale lips slightly opened and closed when he spoke. His sharp jawline was raised, causing Fang Liu to become absent-minded.

This person must be very handsome. But Fang Liu still had trouble remembering where she had seen him before. ‘Why is he wearing a mask? Is he afraid that someone might recognize him?

‘When Fang Liu sat down, the man handed her a clear cup of tea. The tea was refreshing, and the quality rivaled the cup of tea that Cui Mao brewed. This person must have a significant reputation.

Fang Liutook a sip before asking, “May I ask what kind of pain you are feeling, and where?”

The man wore a loose gray sweater, and the knitted material was soft and smooth, complementing the man’s cold demeanor.

The man stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeve, revealing his fair forearm. Blue-ish green veins protrude on his arm, making him appear sexy and attractive.

Even though Fang Liu treated all patients equally, she was still stunned when she saw the man’s forearm. There were red spots on his smooth skin, which looked pretty shocking.

“This is…” Fang Liu reached out and gently touched the irritated area. She asked, “Does it hurt when I do this?”

The man’s body stiffened because of Fang Liu’s touch, but he quickly composed himself. He spoke palely, making Fang Liu feel pity toward him, “That hurts.”

Fang Liu flinched, and she withdrew her hand. “You’re experiencing an allergic reaction. Do you know what you are allergic to?” Fang Liu asked with a gentle and concerned tone.

The man pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t know.”

Fang Liu was surprised. ‘This patient is already an adult, but he still doesn’t know what he’s allergic to?’ Fang Liu then opened the door and instructed the young nurse to go to the pharmacy to fetch two different types of ointments.

“Tl prescribe you with these ointments. Apply the red one first, then the yellow one, once in the morning and again at night. Also, you need to refrain from scratching the irritated area.” Then Fang Liu handed the two tubes of ointment to the patient.

However, the man did not take them.. He looked at the ointment and said to Fang Liu, “Please, would you show me how to apply the ointment?”
