Jiang Linwan looked in the direction Chen Ximei pointed, and their eyes met. Her heart skipped a beat, and instead of joy, she felt a pang of bitterness and sadness.

She merely glanced at him briefly before turning her gaze away indifferently and continuing to treat the patient.

Lu Qiyue felt a pang of sadness.

"Xiao Jiang, you should go back first and come back tomorrow." Dean Chen also saw Lu Tuan and checked the time. He was really afraid that Xiao Jiang would be so tired that he would be scared into resigning.

"It's okay, I'll go back with you." Jiang Linwan shook her head.

Seeing her exhausted face, Dean Chen said to everyone, "Today's free clinic is over. We'll continue tomorrow morning."

As Lu Qiyue watched the crowd disperse, he was about to squeeze in to find Jiang Linwan when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Commander Lu, urgent mission."

"Miss, you dropped your pen." Jiang Linwan heard the voice and squatted down to pick up the pen.

Lu Qiyue anxiously searched for Jiang Linwan's figure in the crowd, but couldn't find her for a long time. Finally, he turned around and ran quickly back to the group.

When Jiang Linwan got up, Lu Qiyue was already gone. She frowned slightly and looked around, but couldn't find him.

Chen Ximei had finished tidying up and looked around, somewhat puzzled: "I just saw Lu Tuan coming to find you, how come he suddenly disappeared?"

Jiang Linwan shook her head, dejected, and prepared to leave when suddenly a voice rang out: "Which one of you is Dr. Jiang? Your husband said he has an urgent mission and left without telling you."

"Yes, thank you, big sister," Jiang Linwan said with a smile.

Chen Ximei chuckled: "I knew Lu Tuan clearly came to pick you up from get off work on purpose. You really like this couple, which you found at the hospital."

Jiang Linwan wanted to explain, but considering her and Qi Yue's identities, she smiled and remained silent.

When she got home, Jiang Linwan felt a little uneasy seeing that she was all alone. After a quick wash, she went to bed and continued studying her medical books.

Previously, she thought that dietary supplements could cure the condition, so there was no need for acupuncture. But today, when she saw the heat-clearing medicine that Dr. Song brought, Jiang Linwan suddenly realized that while dietary supplements are good, they can easily cause internal heat.

But when Jiang Linwan thought of acupuncture and Qi Yue's lean waist and abdomen, her face instantly turned red.

The next morning, Jiang Linwan woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Just as she was getting ready to go to work, Liu Guiying rushed over: "Oh dear, it's a good thing you're home, otherwise I would have gone to the hospital to find you."

Lu Tuan told me yesterday that he had an urgent mission and didn't have time to tell you, but he happened to run into me and asked me to tell you.

They came back two or three days early, but a week late.

"Thank you, Sister Guiying," Jiang Linwan said with a smile.

Liu Guiying waved her hand, then looked around to make sure no one was watching before asking, "Young lady, do you know how to treat infertility?"

Seeing Jiang Linwan's scrutinizing expression, she quickly explained, "It's not me, it's a girl I just met."

"But you can show it to your sister if you want. I only have one daughter, and I was hoping to give your brother a son, but after all these years, there's been no sign of it."

Jiang Linwan glanced at the time and realized she was almost late: "I'll take a look at you when I get off work. Your girl can go to our hospital for a checkup."

"Okay, I'll bring it over later," Liu Guiying said with a smile.

Jiang Linwan turned and walked towards Dayu Island. Before she even left the family compound, she ran into Song Manru. Song Manru was on rest and in a rare good mood. But when she saw Jiang Linwan, her face immediately fell.

"What bad luck."

However, her best friend next to her saw Jiang Linwan and looked indignant: "This must be Lu Tuan's wife. She doesn't look that great."

"No one is as good as Manru. She has a job, a good family background, and a charming personality."

"I also have a job," Jiang Linwan explained, adding that her family background was indeed not as good as Song Manru's.

"What kind of job do you have, competing with fishermen for their catch?" Song Qianqian said with a look of disdain.

Seeing that there were more people around, Song Manru, afraid of being embarrassed, immediately pulled Song Qianqian aside: "Forget it, just ignore her."

"Why should she? She was the one who broke up your relationship with Commander Lu first. If it weren't for her, you and Commander Lu would already be married." Song Qianqian was furious.

Jiang Linwan was already in the wrong, and thinking that Nurse Song might have a terminal illness, she frowned and said, "Nurse Song, I advise you to take some time to get a checkup."

Upon hearing this, Song Manru's face turned green with anger. This little bitch actually cursed her.

The onlookers were amused and whispered among themselves, "This Commander Lu's wife is just like Commander Lu; her mouth is like poison."

Song Qianqian was so angry that she trembled as she looked at Jiang Linwan: "So what if you marry Lu Tuan?"

His heart isn't with you. I heard the Lu regiment is on a mission; I think he's deliberately avoiding you.

Jiang Linwan stiffened, her lips pressed tightly together, but she didn't forget to remind her, "Nurse Song, remember to take some time to get a checkup, or come see me at Dayu Island Hospital."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the time and realized she was almost late, so she immediately ran towards the hospital.

"I heard that Lu Tuan's wife works at a hospital now, and her salary is higher than Nurse Song's right away. She's also young and beautiful, and still a virgin. I think she's much better than Nurse Song."

"That's right, it's such a pity that Dr. Jiang has to become a widow at such a young age." Many people sighed, and other thoughts suddenly arose in their minds.

Hearing the surrounding people's discussions, Song Manru's eyes turned red with anger. Jiang Linwan was doing it on purpose.

She ran home crying, and Song Qianqian quickly chased after her, calling out, "Manru, wait for me!"

On the other side, Jiang Linwan rushed to the hospital at the last minute, her chest heaving violently, panting heavily, and her shoulders trembling slightly.

Chen Ximei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her: "Were you too tired from working overtime yesterday? You don't need to go today."

Dean Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her arrive; he was genuinely afraid of exhausting her and driving her away.

Jiang Linwan initially wanted to refuse, but remembering that she had promised Liu Guiying to see them that morning, she hesitated and said, "I'll continue this afternoon. One of my sisters is bringing a friend to see me this morning."

"Okay." Dean Chen immediately agreed, saying they would discuss other matters in the afternoon.

Yesterday, Dr. Qi stayed at the hospital, but today it's Jiang Linwan's turn. Dean Chen was a little worried, so he asked Dr. Fan to stay with Jiang Linwan.

Less than half an hour after the group left, four or five people carried a wooden frame into the hospital, on which lay an unconscious man.

"Where is Dean Chen? Someone is going to die!" a man shouted.

Dr. Fan rushed over and, seeing the man's bluish-purple lips, his heart sank: "What happened?"

"He's been bitten by a sea snake! Are Dr. Fan and Dean Chen not here?" the tall man asked anxiously. "Don't just stand there, save my brother!"

"Dr. Fan, we're out of antivenom serum for sea snakes in our warehouse. We ordered some from higher-ups a while ago, but it hasn't arrived yet," a nurse said anxiously.

Dr. Fan was naturally aware of this, and he was so anxious that his face turned pale. Sea snake venom is very potent; even though there are only two small red spots, the venom spreads rapidly.

Without the serum, it means that the person will die in front of you.

Upon hearing the nurse's words, the elderly woman who had rushed over collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way.
