Lin Jie slowly descended twenty-one floors, then climbed eighteen floors again, and finally got home.
As soon as he entered, Lin Miao came up to him anxiously, asking with concern, "Brother, you smell strongly of blood, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, the blood on me is from the pregnant woman."
Soaked to the skin, Lin Jie put the first aid kit in the study and explained to Lin Miao, who was following him, "The pregnant woman had a difficult labor, I performed a cesarean section, now mother and daughter are safe, and their family is trying to get them to a hospital."
"I'll go take a shower and change clothes first!"
Hearing Lin Jie say he was fine and that the mother and daughter were safe, Lin Miao was relieved and said, "Master called, said there's still heavy rain and it's hard to travel, so no need to work today."
Lin Jie took a cold shower, changed his clothes, and came out to find Lin Miao had already set the dining table with many ready-to-eat foods, last night's leftovers, and some fruit.
Lin Miao said gloomily, "Brother, there's still quite a bit of food in the fridge, and with the power out again, if we don't eat it soon, it might spoil. We need to eat it up!"
Since it was still hot, eating cold food was fine, so Lin Jie ate up a lot.
After the meal, after he tidied up the dining room, he saw Lin Miao bringing out the portable massage table and setting it up.
She waved Lin Jie over, saying, "Brother, come here, you must be tired from the stairs and surgery, let me give you a massage!"
Considering that Lin Miao didn't have to work today, Lin Jie didn't refuse and obediently lay down on the massage table.
Standing in front of the massage table, massaging Lin Jie's shoulder muscles, that hard feeling made Lin Miao involuntarily smile.
"Brother, when I used to give you massages, your whole body was stiff because I could touch your bones right away. Now, well, you finally have some muscles, and they're quite firm."
"Of course!" Lin Jie flexed his right arm, showing off, "All this exercise over time hasn't been for nothing."
Lin Miao's massage skills were quite profound, and Lin Jie felt extremely relaxed, unknowingly falling into a deep sleep...
The storm that swept across Binhai significantly weakened by noon, and by four or five in the afternoon, the rain and wind had stopped, but the power was still out.
Not wanting to have a cold dinner and with the purified water running low at home, Lin Jie took Lin Miao downstairs to eat and buy some bottled water.
As they stepped out of the apartment building, Lin Jie found debris all over the place, mostly fallen leaves, branches, and household waste.
He checked, and there was no water in the underground garage.
Lin Jie first parked the MINI in the garage and then took Lin Miao outside the community.
"Doctor! Dr. Lin!"
Not far from their spot, Lin Jie heard a loud and hearty shout!
He stopped and turned around with Lin Miao, and saw Hou Jiahe running over with a big broom.
Taking a few big steps to catch up, Hou Jiahe glanced at Lin Jie and Lin Miao holding hands, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes, and he smiled, "Dr. Lin, nice to see you again!"
"Are you going out to eat with your girlfriend?"
Lin Jie had a good impression of this soldier who stepped forward and said lightly, "We are going out to eat."
He then introduced, "This is my sister, Lin Miao!"
"Lin Miao, this is the soldier I've mentioned, who assisted me this morning, Hou Jiahe!"
"Hello!" Lin Miao greeted Hou Jiahe softly!
"Hello, Lin Miao, hello!" Hou Jiahe awkwardly scratched his head, somewhat excitedly saying, "I've actually seen you a few times in the morning before, just too embarrassed to say hi, hehe..."
Lin Jie ignored his goofy manner and asked, "How is the mother and daughter now? Did they make it to the hospital?"
When it came to serious matters, Hou Jiahe returned to a normal expression and tone, nodding repeatedly, "They got taken! Some firefighters came at noon, they carried Sister Xiao down twenty-one floors on a stretcher!"
"Apparently, the roads were still impassable, so Sister Xiao was carried all the way to Limin Hospital."
"My mom talked to them by phone this afternoon, they said the examination results came out, the baby is fine, and Sister Xiao is fine too!"
"Dr. Lin, many thanks to you this time. Several people said if it weren't for you, it would probably have been a tragedy."
While confident in his medical skills, Lin Jie felt relieved hearing this news, modestly saying, "Since we live in the same community, of course I'm obliged to help."
He then corrected, "Hey, Hou Jiahe, don't call me doctor! Actually, I'm not a doctor yet, just know some medical skills."
Hearing this, Hou Jiahe was taken aback but didn't mind.
To him, the fact is Lin Jie saved Sister Xiao and the baby, whether he's officially a doctor or not is irrelevant to him.
"Do you know when power might be restored in the neighborhood?" Lin Jie asked.
Hou Jiahe said, "The property management said the transformer supplying the neighborhood was hit by lightning and needs to be replaced! Many roads are still blocked outside, and it's uncertain when the new transformer will be delivered."
Lin Jie understood that given the situation, it's unlikely they'd have electricity tonight.
Looking at the big broom in Hou Jiahe's hand, he asked with a smile, "Are you cleaning up?"
Hou Jiahe let out another silly laugh and said, "I was bored at home, so I came down to help the property management clean up. This storm surfaced all the hidden garbage, it's too dirty."
"I won't hold you two up from dinner! Bye, Lin... brother! Bye, Lin Miao!" With that, Hou Jiahe lifted his broom onto his shoulder and darted away.
Lin Jie, wiping a drop of dirty water from his face, muttered angrily, "That guy's so goofy, how did he pass the military exam?"
"Hehe... maybe you scared him this morning with the surgery, making him nervous around you."
Lin Miao tilted her little head, softly saying, "If he's seen surgery for the first time and still dares to come up and greet you, that's quite brave."
She touched her tummy, acting a little spoiled, "Brother, I feel like eating fish!"
"Okay, fish it is for dinner tonight!" Lin Jie said dotingly.
The doctor's private dining room at Limin Hospital.
Ren Jianzhong, just finishing a surgery and terribly hungry, grabbed a plate of dinner, found an empty spot, and began eating quickly.
He hadn't eaten much when the conversation of two interns at the next table caught his attention.
"Da Liu, wasn't that caesarean patient from the private ward also from Jingtai District? Didn't you just move there?"
"Yeah, I just rented it, not even a month ago. I picked it because it's close to here."
"That patient had a cesarean at home, I heard a very young doctor did it, I guess maybe an intern or even a Medical College student."
"Da Liu, I just want to ask, in that situation, would you dare perform a cesarean on a pregnant woman?"
"Hehe, depends on the situation..."
Ren Jianzhong thought to himself, "Could it be Luo Shanshan in that district? She isn't a real doctor yet!"
