Chapter 183
Bai Jie trembled, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to bet, or that she was a sore loser.
If this had been an ordinary bet, she would have honored it on the spot without waiting until evening.
But the stake for this bet had been her virtue!
She didn’t want to give it.
And she couldn’t!
’What should I do?’
After racking her brain, an idea suddenly flashed through Bai Jie’s mind.
"Isn’t it a bit too early to be so smug? Captain Wang’s words only prove you weren’t impersonating a doctor. They don’t prove Director Liu was in a hurry to get you, and they certainly don’t prove you didn’t take advantage of Ms. Liu."
Chenyang sneered. "My identity as a doctor has already been confirmed. Do you really think I need to lie about Director Liu?
Besides, I’m a doctor. I came here to treat the sick and save lives. Only five or six minutes passed between Ms. Liu’s arrival and all of you showing up.
In that short amount of time, besides reviving her and asking about her condition, do you really think I had time to take advantage of her?
Or are you suggesting that Ms. Liu is that kind of woman? That she’d let me take advantage of her after she regained consciousness?"
Hearing this, Bai Jie was speechless.
It had been proven that Chenyang was a doctor at City Hospital.
As a member of the City Hospital staff, no one would dare joke so casually about Liu Yun.
This meant that unless Liu Yun had truly asked him to come, he would never have dared to make such a claim.
As for the situation with Liu Mei’er, there really was nothing more to say.
As a doctor facing a patient like Liu Mei’er, Chenyang’s only role was to treat her and save her life.
At this thought, Bai Jie’s already dark expression grew even gloomier.
She stammered, "F... Fine. We misunderstood you."
"The misunderstanding isn’t important. What’s important is our bet. Don’t forget it!"
"You..."
Just as Bai Jie was about to retort, Chenyang mocked, "What? A prominent doctor at City Hospital can start a bet but can’t afford to lose?"
"Th... That’s not true!"
"Since you can afford to lose, I’ll be waiting for your room key. Of course, if that’s too much trouble, you can always just call me after work, and we can head straight to a hotel."
"You..."
Bai Jie was furious, but Chenyang didn’t give her a chance to say more. He turned to Wang Hongtu. "Captain Wang, sorry to make you rush over here for nothing again."
"Just hurry up and get Director An to issue you an ID badge!" Wang Hongtu said, exasperated. Deep down, he never wanted to see Chenyang again.
No, that wasn’t quite right. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to see him.
He just didn’t want to cross him. After all, Liu Yun had already put the word out: Chenyang was her man.
And Wang Hongtu knew better than anyone what happened to people who offended Liu Yun.
With a helpless sigh, he led the other security guards away.
Chenyang grinned. "Mr. Tian, you saw everything that just happened. I assume you have no more doubts about me?"
Tian Xiangqian said awkwardly, "My apologies. I was rude before."
"It’s alright. You didn’t know any better, so no offense taken."
Chenyang gave a magnanimous wave of his hand. "I still need to treat your wife. Would you please wait outside for now?"
"Alright."
Once Tian Xiangqian had left, Chenyang turned and said, "Ms. Liu, please lie back down."
"Wait!"
Before Liu Mei’er could speak, Bai Jie suddenly stepped forward. "You can leave. This is my patient. I’ll take over her treatment."
"Is your name on her?"
"No, but the nurses’ station assigned Ms. Liu to me."
"Just because she was assigned to you doesn’t mean she’s your patient, right? Besides, I’ve already examined Ms. Liu. All that’s left is the treatment. If you take over now, you’ll have to start from scratch. That’s a waste of your energy and Ms. Liu’s time."
"You’ve finished your examination?"
"That’s right."
"This emergency room only has a ventilator and a heart monitor. There’s no other equipment. What could you have possibly used for an examination?"
"Pulse diagnosis!"
"Nonsense!" Bai Jie snorted. "A minor traditional medicine practitioner like you might be able to diagnose common illnesses by taking a pulse, but Ms. Liu was in a car accident.
She’s in her third trimester with no external injuries, which means her coma was definitely caused by internal organ or brain damage. For conditions involving internal organs and the brain, you absolutely need equipment to get a clear diagnosis. There’s no way you could do that just with pulse diagnosis."
