The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

How should I answer in a way that doesn't deceive Lu Zhenghan, but also makes him feel better?

Xia Qiuran tried hard to organize her thoughts.

When Lu Zhenghan saw Xia Qiuran begin to hesitate, he started to panic. What if the answer she gave was not the answer he wanted?

Wouldn't his elaborate scheme to win back Xia Qiuran have backfired?

"Cough, cough."

Lu Zhenghan coughed twice, his eyes and brows revealing a weak expression, his chest heaving as if he were in danger at any moment.

Seeing that Lu Zhenghan's injuries were serious, Xia Qiuran quickly stood up.

She was so flustered just now, but then she remembered that she was a doctor too. Although the First Hospital was a good hospital, there was no guarantee that a misdiagnosis wouldn't happen. She hadn't even diagnosed Lu Zhenghan yet, so maybe she really could cure Lu Zhenghan's injury.

"Brother Zhenghan, how are you? Let me check your pulse."

"No need, other doctors have already examined her many times. Ranran, just answer me first."

Lu Zhenghan immediately pulled his wrist back. He was in such good health that he could kill a bull. If Xia Qiuran found out that he was faking illness, there would probably be no way to turn things around.

Xia Qiuran rubbed her hands together unconsciously, her eyelashes trembling nervously.

"Brother Zhenghan, I truly like you." He hesitated for a moment before saying it immediately.

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Zhenghan's heart, which had been pounding like a drum, finally calmed down, and the corners of his mouth subtly curved upwards.

"Okay, let me ask you again. If I were to recover, would you still stay with me?"

Completely healed?

If he is truly cured, shouldn't the Lu family continue to allow Lu Zhenghan to marry Nie Ru? Can they really be together?

Seeing that Xia Qiuran hesitated again, Lu Zhenghan quickly pinched his temples and frowned tightly.

"The doctor said that my skull was shaken too badly, and even if it heals, I may be paralyzed in bed for life. It's normal that you don't want to be with me."

"No, no, if you really become paralyzed, I will never abandon you," Xia Qiuran quickly explained.

A glint quickly flashed in Lu Zhenghan's eyes. "Really?"

"Yes!" Xia Qiuran nodded solemnly.

"Ranran, thank you."

"Don't thank me. You're like this because you saved me. It's only right that I take care of you."

"Brother Zhenghan, lie down quickly, let me take a look at you."

After Xia Qiuran finished speaking, she first touched Lu Zhenghan, and then listened to his chest for a while.

That's really strange. There's nothing unusual about it. That shouldn't be the case.

"It'll only be a little while, we'll be leaving soon, I promise I won't keep you in time."

"no."

"How can you have no compassion at all?"

Just then, as Xia Qiuran was puzzled by this, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside the door.

Arguing here in the middle of the night is disturbing the patient's rest, so Xia Qiuran left.

Upon going outside, I saw that Zhong Wenmei and Yan Jun were arguing about something.

"Qiu Ran? What are you doing here?" Zhong Wenmei asked in surprise as Xia Qiu Ran walked out of the ward.

Xia Qiuran was also very puzzled. Zhong Wenmei was always self-disciplined and meticulous about work-related matters, so why was she making such a fuss here?

"Sister Wenmei, I was about to say something to you too. This is a hospital ward. Why are you arguing with Comrade Yan here?"

"Hmph, go ask him. This is an empty ward, yet he won't let my patients in."

Zhong Wenmei let out a heavy breath, then crossed her arms and groaned.

Yan Jun immediately defended himself: "The patient hasn't arrived yet, so I asked her to be more accommodating, but she wouldn't listen."

He had just used all his sweet talk and even offered five feet of cloth to coax a nurse into helping him deceive Xia Qiuran. This ward was a ward for high-ranking officials, so it was usually not needed. He had only thought of borrowing it for a while, but he did not expect Zhong Wenmei to come over suddenly.

The patient hasn't come over yet, so why is he unable to use it for a short while?

"My patient is critically ill, so the ward must be emptied in advance," Zhong Wenmei said firmly, without any hesitation.

Xia Qiuran became more and more confused as she listened. Could it be that the nurses' station had made a mistake? How could a single room be divided between two people? She immediately asked Zhong Wenmei.

"Sister Wenmei, this is Commander Lu's ward. How can you let other patients in?"

Zhong Wenmei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was trying to understand something.

"What, Commander Lu? Commander Lu isn't injured, why is he in a hospital room?"

"You're not injured?"

"Sister Wenmei, Commander Lu barely has the strength to speak, how could he not be injured? If you don't believe me, go inside and see for yourself, ask Comrade Yan."

Xia Qiuran turned to look at Yan Jun, only to find that Yan Jun had already retreated far away.

"I just remembered I have some things to take care of at home, so I have to leave right away. This ward is available, please use it as you like."

After saying this, Yan Jun disappeared at the end of the corridor, walking at a speed that probably even regular soldiers couldn't match.

At this moment, Lu Zhenghan also came out from inside, and the bandage on his head was removed.

Xia Qiuran's eyes widened as she discovered that apart from the abrasions on her face, there wasn't a single scratch on her head.

"You weren't just..."

Was everything just a lie? Xia Qiuran looked at the hospital bed, then at Lu Zhenghan, a surge of anger rising within her. She never expected Lu Zhenghan to do such a thing.

"Xia Qiuran, listen to me." Lu Zhenghan was about to speak when Xia Qiuran stopped him with a raised hand.

"Don't say anymore, I'm just glad you're alright. I'm going back now."

After saying that, he drove off towards the door without looking back.

Seeing that Lu Zhenghan was still holding a blood-stained bandage, Zhong Wenmei, not understanding what had happened, immediately asked again.

"Commander Lu, are you injured? Should I go and change the room for my patient?"

"No need, I'm fine. The ward has been prepared, and the patient can move in anytime." Lu Zhenghan said and quickly chased after her.

The search and rescue operation was completed, and the main force had returned. Only some injured disaster victims remained in the hospital, and the rescue work was basically completed smoothly. Xia Qiuran walked around and saw that there was nothing she needed to help with, so she decided to go back to her ward to sleep for a while and return to her unit at dawn.

She didn't know what Lu Zhenghan's mentality was in doing such a thing, but being deceived was a very unpleasant experience. She decided to let things be as they were and didn't want to waste any more energy on them in the future.

Love is not a necessity, but rather something that adds to the happiness. Happiness comes when love blossoms, but peace is also found even without it.

As she was thinking this, she walked to the door of the ward and found Lu Zhenghan standing there.

Xia Qiuran turned to leave, and Lu Zhenghan immediately chased after her.

"Ranran, I want to say a few words to you."

"Commander, there are quite a few people here, so please call me by my full name." Xia Qiuran's voice was cold, and her face showed little expression.
