Wednesday morning, Yan Feifan successfully completed two routine intraspinal tumor puncture and injection surgeries.

Although the public uproar caused by the unexpected death of a patient last week had quickly subsided thanks to the efforts of everyone involved, the rapid cremation of the deceased before the exact cause of death could be determined left a lingering rumor circulating within the hospital and online.

People speculated that the hospital or relevant authorities had quickly reached a confidential settlement with the deceased’s family, using a hefty compensation payout to preserve Yan Feifan’s flawless, error-free record.

Regarding these shadowy doubts buzzing around him like mosquitoes, Yan Feifan had no concrete evidence to prove his innocence. He could only respond with a clear conscience.

Fortunately, Yan Feifan genuinely had nothing to hide. He understood that many unexpected factors were simply beyond his control, and he didn’t have an obsessive compulsion to maintain a perfect record. Otherwise, his performance at work would have been severely affected by such skepticism.

After completing the two puncture and injection surgeries, Yan Feifan returned to the Little Red House. He met with Dr. Kevin Vega, who had flown in from the United States, to discuss the surgical plan for the brain tumor patient he had brought along.

Shortly after two in the afternoon, Yan Feifan had another discussion with Qin Feng from the PLA General Hospital regarding the brain tumor patient he had brought.

Shortly after four, a young firefighter from Lu Province arrived at the Little Red House of the Affiliated Hospital, accompanied by his family.

Zhu Jian and Berry were responsible for receiving them and taking the firefighter to the plastic surgery center for a series of physical examinations.

At this time, Yan Feifan was also at the plastic surgery center, though he was in Yanyan’s ward.

Yanyan was currently still unconscious from the anesthesia. She lay on the hospital bed with an IV drip in the back of both hands. Even in her unconscious state, she seemed to feel pain. Her brows furrowed from time to time, making her look quite pitiful.

Wang Chuan moistened Yanyan’s slightly dry lips with a wet tissue and said irritably, “With so much money invested, those guys still haven’t managed to develop an effective pain relief method. We can only keep giving her an intravenous drip of the lowest dose of anesthetics.

“In four or five days, Yanyan will have to rely on her own willpower, with just a little help from painkillers, to endure the pain from the nerve division.

“I really doubt if they are actually doing any work!”

Yan Feifan had no solution for this situation either. He changed the subject, asking, “Where’s Mrs. Zhong?”

Wang Chuan replied somewhat impatiently, “She went to Luo’s Private Kitchen. If all goes well, they will sign the agreement today.”

Yan Feifan noticed that the usually gentle, elegant, and well-measured Wang Chuan was showing signs of turning into a grumpy old man. To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Yan Feifan briefly checked on Yanyan and prepared to slip away.

“Hey, Feifan…”

Called to a halt, Yan Feifan had no choice but to stop, turn around, and face Wang Chuan once again.

“Feifan, do you still rarely do ward rounds?”

Yan Feifan chuckled and explained, “Chuan, you know that the patients I’m responsible for aren’t in critical condition. There’s no need to do ward rounds every day.

“Besides, there are doctors and nurses on duty. If any unexpected situation arises, they will notify me immediately.”

Wang Chuan criticized, “Doing ward rounds means being responsible for the patients. With your abilities, you can definitely spot things that the on-duty doctors and nurses might miss.

“Ward rounds are also a great way to improve the doctor-patient relationship.

“Feifan, don’t forget that being indifferent to patients is one of the biggest points of attack against you online.”

Yan Feifan replied perfunctorily, “I got it, Chuan. I’ll go do ward rounds whenever I have the time.”

Without waiting for Wang Chuan’s response, he quickly turned and left.

Upon returning to the Little Red House, Yan Feifan entered the elevator. He initially reached out to press the button for the ninth floor but ultimately moved his hand up a bit and pressed the tenth floor instead.

As Yan Feifan stepped out of the elevator on the tenth floor, he saw Xv Shuang, Pan Jichuan, and four other medical staff members from different departments happily chatting and laughing at the nurse’s station opposite him.

However, with Yan Feifan’s appearance, their chatter abruptly ceased, and one by one, they pretended to be busy.

“Mr. Yan!”

“Mr. Yan!”

Looking at Pan Jichuan and Xv Shuang who quickly hurried over, Yan Feifan asked routinely, “Any new updates?”

Pan Jichuan quickly replied, “No, Mr. Yan!” He then added, “I just did a round twenty minutes ago and didn’t find any new issues.”

Yan Feifan gave an expressionless hum and said, “Follow me for a round!”

To the east of the elevator, the six single wards on the north side of the corridor housed six patients from the deep coma experimental therapy who had all regained consciousness. The first three among them to wake up would be discharged this Friday to recover and rest at home.

On the south side of the corridor were six double wards. Two of these were being used as single wards, occupied by Tang Zheng and Ji Meng. The other four rooms were occupied by patients from other departments of the hospital who were temporarily staying there.

In the entire ward area, there were a mere eight patients under Yan Feifan’s direct care.

He first went to the south side of the corridor to the ward occupied by Ji Meng and was somewhat surprised to see Tang Zheng there as well.

“I was a bit bored, so I came over to chat with Miss Ji,” Tang Zheng explained. He then changed the subject, “Feifan, let me tell you some news. I plan to accept the invitation from Huarong Medical Beauty and head to Jingcheng for work around the Spring Festival.”

“Ah, Mr. Tang, you aren’t returning to the plastic surgery center?” Yan Feifan feigned a look of surprise.

Tang Zheng sighed softly and said, “Although I really want to come back, the city of Binhai leaves me with mixed feelings. I’ve decided it’s better to change my environment.”

Yan Feifan let out an “oh” and said, “Then I’ll wish you success at Huarong Medical Beauty in advance, Mr. Tang…”

Next, Yan Feifan checked the recovery of the incision on Ji Meng’s face before leaving the ward.

“Mr. Yan…” Xv Shuang lowered her voice and said, “Dr. Tang has been sneaking into Ji Meng’s ward whenever he’s free these past few days. His intentions are very suspicious.”

Yan Feifan shot her a sidelong glance and said, “That’s his private matter and freedom. Stop worrying about things that don’t concern you.”

“Hey, about that little girl…” Xv Shuang said with a hint of excitement, “Mr. Yan, I was just about to tell you about that.

“Early this morning, several police cars arrived and took away that restaurant owner along with quite a few others.”

Yan Feifan let out an “oh,” suddenly remembered something, and warned, “Xv Shuang, do many people know that you brought that little girl to the hospital?

“She had an incident just a couple of days after arriving at the hospital. It’s inevitable that people might suspect you are connected to this.

“Those guys who were arrested…”

At this point, Yan Feifan noticed Xv Shuang’s face had turned somewhat pale.

“Xv Shuang, are there quite a few people who know?”

Xv Shuang nodded. She reached out and grabbed Yan Feifan’s sleeve, her voice trembling slightly.

“I showed off and told several people about it.

“Mr. Yan, what if the families of those arrested guys take out their anger and seek revenge on me?

“What should I do?”

Seeing that she was on the verge of crying, Yan Feifan said, “For the next few days, you can stay at a friend’s place first, or you can sleep in my office.

“To be safe, it’s better to find a new place to live.”

Pausing for a moment, Yan Feifan added, “In a sense, what you did counts as stepping up bravely for a just cause.

“The research lab will cover your moving expenses and the first three months’ rent for your new place.”

“Thank you, Mr. Yan!” Xv Shuang still looked worried.

Yan Feifan then looked at Pan Jichuan and instructed, “Help out as much as you can with Xv Shuang’s move!”

“Yes, Mr. Yan!” Pan Jichuan quickly agreed.

Yan Feifan spent about seven or eight minutes finishing his rounds on the deep coma experimental therapy patients. Just as he was about to leave, a nurse came running over from the west side of the corridor.

“Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, there’s a patient in critical condition! Please come help take a look…”
