3416 Never Fall in Love With Someone Like Me 16

Huo Mian put away the papers on her desk and stood up.

Zeng Rou entered the room and glanced around.

She knew Huo Mian was a vice director, but the office didn’t have any high-end decorations.

It looked like the office of an ordinary doctor, simple and clean.

“Take a seat. What would you like to drink?”

“Let me do it.” Seeing Huo Mian’s belly was big with the baby, Zeng Rou didn’t want her to get water for her.

Huo Mian nodded and handed a disposable water cup to her.

“The tea and coffee are in the lower drawer. Help yourself.”

“Water is good for me.” Zeng Rou poured herself a cup of water at the drinking fountain and sat on the black sofa.

They fell silent.

Then, Huo Mian got an internal call and arranged some work over the phone.

Zeng Rou sat there and waited quietly.

After Huo Mian ended the call, she asked tentatively, “Dr. Huo, you asked me to come…”

“Oh, I heard your foot is injured and I’d like to have it checked. Come, let’s go to the Orthopedics Department.”

“Huh?” Before she could understand what was happening, Zeng Rou was brought to the Orthopedics Department by Huo Mian.

Obviously, Huo Mian was familiar with the doctors in the department.

After scanning her foot, a nurse helped her to sit down.

Huo Mian took the image and talked with some senior doctors in a solemn discussion.

After a while, Huo Mian walked to her.

“Do you feel pain in your leg?”

“Not usually. I feel a bit of pain when I walk too fast or too much.”

“Okay. You might have walked too much before the wound was healed completely, so a small bone got dislocated.”

“Ah? Is it serious? Do I need surgery?” Zeng Rou was scared at the thought of surgery.

“No. But you must rest properly and can’t walk so much. I’ll prescribe some antibiotics and you must take it according to the instructions. The weather is warm, so you must change the bandage regularly. If you can’t come, I’ll ask a nurse to go to the house and change it for you.”

“That’s not necessary. I’m bored at home, so I’ll come here to change the bandage each week.”

“Okay, that’s fine.”

At this moment, the young nurse came back with a bag of medicine at Huo Mian’s instruction.

“Take these home, and you must eat them according to the instructions.”

“Okay. How much is it? Where should I go and pay for it?” Zeng Rou stood up with her purse.

“It’s not necessary. I paid for it already.”

“Ah? No, I can’t let you pay for it.” Zeng Rou was embarra.s.sed since she didn’t feel she was close with Huo Mian enough to let the latter pay for her medicine.

“It’s okay. You’re Su Yu’s friend, so you’re my friend, too.”

Huo Mian handed the bag of medicine to Zeng Rou and instructed, “Little Cui, go and get a taxi for Miss Zeng; help her into the car.”

“Okay, Vice Director.”

“Thank you, Huo… Huo Mian.” Zeng Rou felt warm inside.

In her life, no one but her parents had been so nice to her; thoughtfully, Huo Mian even booked a taxi for her.

Previously, the people around her had just been trying to flatter her and use her to gain favor from her father.

So, she was a bit uncomfortable when Huo Mian was so nice to her.

Watching Zeng Rou walk out, Huo Mian’s eyes looked unreadable.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria at South Side.

Huo Mian sat across from Mrs. Su. Since Huo Mian offered her the managing job in the hospital, Mrs. Su came to work here almost every day.

She was benign to everyone and the young nurses were all friendly to her. Of course, some of them did it because they wanted to get close to Su Yu.

“Mian, what do you think of that girl’s character?” Mrs. Su asked eagerly.
