Chapter 2390: Reunion
This is his second brother’s workplace, he was already very familiar with it and smoothly said, "This way."
Zhu Huicang followed him. The two hurriedly turned into a small alley next to Shou’er, slipping through a small door. If you’re not familiar with this place, stepping forward and seeing the eerie, ominous building ahead with its strong smells might make you think it’s a haunted house and quickly retreat. In reality, it’s the hospital’s morgue at the back, a place for storing bodies.
Being surgeons, they weren’t afraid of these things, and brushed past the morgue moving forward. Those unfamiliar with the way would continue to get lost. This is the rear area of Shou’er, cluttered with a mix of logistical buildings like the disinfection room and supply room intricately intertwined.
Zhu Huicang murmured a couple of sentences: This children’s hospital is like a maze for kids to play in.
Turning and twisting through the labyrinth, they finally saw the brightly lit inpatient department, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. Moving forward was the outpatient building and the emergency department. The emergency department was crowded with media, so they had to consider whether or not people were still in the emergency department.
At this moment, Cao Yong received a call back from his second brother, Cao Zhao.
"I was busy when you called earlier, so I couldn’t answer," Cao Zhao explained to his brother.
"Where are you?" Cao Yong asked, not planning to waste more words with him.
"You’re asking where she is, aren’t you?" Cao Zhao softly confirmed with him whom he wanted to see.
"Isn’t she with you?" Cao Yong, being his brother, was not stupid. He knew this playful person knew when to be serious and would keep the "child" by his side at crucial moments. Don’t ask how he knew because he had been tagging along with this second brother since he was young.
Hearing his brother remember his things so clearly, Cao Zhao helplessly said, "Come over, we are at the administrative building."
The administrative building was very close to where they were. Cao Yong quickened his pace. Zhu Huicang jogged behind him, wiping sweat as he ran; they had been running almost ten thousand meters.
Cao Zhao hung up the phone and led several students out of the administrative building.
A short distance ahead at the intersection, two hurried figures appeared.
Cao Zhao waved at his brother and his brother’s friend.
Having run till he was almost out of breath, Zhu Huicang looked up and saw Cao Family’s Second Child looking relaxed, really almost spitting blood from exhaustion. He couldn’t understand what they had hurried about earlier.
"Did you run all the way here?" Cao Zhao, seeing the sweat on Zhu Huicang’s head and his panting, looked as if discovering some new spectacle. When he talked with his brother over the phone earlier, he truly hadn’t realized. He could only say that, like him, his brother was also an athletic champion, who didn’t pant while running.
Hearing Cao Family’s Second Child’s words, Zhu Huicang, in a bad mood, patted his knees: "Yes—"
"Do you need me to find a place for you to sit? Or maybe you can find a place to sit yourself, I need to go to the operating room." After greeting them briefly, Cao Zhao with a business-like demeanor, had to rush to work. After saying these words, he realized he had almost been talking to himself, because his brother’s eyes were not on him.
Zhu Huicang had long noticed this, assuming his old schoolmate probably wouldn’t notice even if he ran out of breath.
Senior Cao had arrived. Spotting him, Xie Wanying suddenly recalled the chocolate cake that Student Wei had put into the car ahead of time: Oh no, the cake meant for Senior Cao, would something happen to it?
Standing opposite, as soon as Cao Yong saw her raise her hand to cover her mouth, he immediately discerned she realized the cake incident and couldn’t help but smile: She and the group of junior brothers were fine, which was good.
