Chapter 11
Irritable Temper
He took a short break and was about to change his clothes and go home when he heard a series of ear-piercing sounds. His head started to hurt again as if it were being pierced by a steel needle.
He closed his eyes and supported his forehead with his hands.
Thud thud thud!
A series of pounding was heard from the door. He raised his head and looked at it. He saw the family member of the patient whom he had just treated. He could not tell what she was saying. Her mouth opened and closed, and there was a smile on her face.
Jin Chen’s eyes exuded irritation as he said coldly, “I’m off work.”
At the door, Su Hanyan, who had brought a bowl of hot porridge and a few steamed buns to express her gratitude to Jin Chen, was unexpectedly ignored by the man and even coldly chased away.
“Doc, I’ll leave, but I heard that you hadn’t eaten anything for a long time, so please accept this breakfast.” She simply wanted to express her gratitude.
It was only breakfast, so it could not be considered a bribe.
She walked forward and wanted to put the breakfast down.
Jin Chen frowned even more as his expression paled. There was obvious frustration in his eyes as if he were on the brink of flying into a rage.
“Doc?”
“Get out!” he hollered, his head throbbing in pain.
Su Hanyan was taken aback. She silently thought to herself.
Is his temper so cold and irritable? It wasn’t mentioned in the novel.
“Alright!” Since he wanted her to leave, she would leave.
Since he did not need this gratitude, why should she remain here and provoke him?
She placed the food on the desk beside her. “I’ll leave the breakfast here. Eat it if you want. If you don’t, throw it in the trash!”
With that, she turned around and left.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard a
bang
.
She turned around abruptly and saw Jin Chen standing up, both his hands on the table. The porridge that she had placed on it probably spilled onto the floor by accident.
Su Hanyan looked at the man. His fingers were long and slender, and his joints were well-defined. When he crooked his fingers slightly, the lines looked exceptionally beautiful. However, the back of this fair hand was tinged with red. He had gotten scalded!
Meanwhile, this doctor still had his head lowered as he stared at the back of his hand. He did not move at all.
A trace of confusion flashed across Su Hanyan’s eyes, but she did not have time to think about it as she rushed over.
Jin Chen was a surgeon.
He had to perform many surgeries in a day. If his hand was scalded, how would he perform surgeries?
She hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her pocket. Unafraid of his disdain or censure, she held his arm through his sleeve and gently wiped the porridge from his hand.
Jin Chen furrowed his brows tightly as impatience and frustration lit his eyes again.
He was about to speak when he froze.
The world became clear and quiet!
The annoying ear-piercing sound had suddenly disappeared, and the steel needle which was stabbing his brain had stopped sans a trace. The pain had disappeared…
He looked up suddenly, his gaze fixed on the face of this lady in front of him.
Su Hanyan finished wiping the porridge off the back of the man’s hand. When she looked up, their eyes met. Looking at his cold gaze, she almost forgot how bad-tempered he was.
To prevent him from acting up, she retracted her hand quickly and smiled at him. “I’ll leave now, but… this hand is used to treat illnesses and save people. It’s a pity to injure it!”
She pulled back her handkerchief but did not put it back into her pocket. Instead, she clenched it in her fist and turned to leave the doctor’s room.
Jin Chen looked at the lady’s back thoughtfully. He only retracted his gaze after she had completely disappeared from his sight. He looked down at his watch. It was almost noon.
He would go straight home to have lunch!
