Lucas just nodded. But sensing that Rachel didn't want to talk about it anymore, he changed the topic. "Do you want to hand over the patient to me? I'll take care of her."
He knew that Rachel feared to deal with this kind of patient.
For her, it was troublesome.
She fell into silence for a few seconds, then shook her head. It was very obvious that Celine said those words deliberately to discourage her, and if she let Lucas take her patient, she would mock her. She said, "There's no need. The patient's condition is temporarily stable now, so I think I can handle it. Don't worry."
"Okay."
He didn't want to continue with the topic, so he asked instead, "When are you free?
Dad has been urging me several times because he can't wait to show off his cooking skills."
She had already forgotten about that dinner invitation. Good thing, he reminded her now. "How about the day after tomorrow? Please tell James that I'm really busy recently."
"Don't worry about it. Just don't forget the day after tomorrow, okay? I'll go now."
Lucas stood up and opened the door without noticing a figure that quickly disappeared.
On the other hand, Jack's eyes narrowed, and his face darkened as he watched the video on his phone.
It showed Rachel and Lucas talking with each other. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, she looked
to deal with this afternoon, so please take over my place in the outpatient department."
It must be very urgent because he immediately hung up before she could even answer.
He was getting more and more strange recently.
Fortunately, the outpatient department was not busy that afternoon. Rachel had only six patients.
Time passed by quickly.
There was no patient yet, so she went to the toilet. When she came back, there were already two women sitting inside the consultation room.
With their heavy makeup and bright clothes, she thought that they were in their thirties. But she was surprised to see that they were only twenty-four years old based on their medical records.
"What can I do for you?" she asked as she sat opposite them.
Seeing her, one of them pointed at her name badge and whispered to the other woman, "Is she the doctor Rachel Shen?"
"I think so. Let me check." She took out her phone and opened a group chat on WeChat. She checked it for quite a while before she nodded.
Rachel felt strange upon hearing their conversation.
She asked again, "Do you two feel something wrong in your bodies?"
But she didn't expect what happened next. The woman who checked her phone stood up, held the other woman's hand, and snorted, "Let's go and request a different doctor. How can this hospital hire such a doctor like her?"
