Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 179

"Then do you think you're right?" Ling Junze looked at Tian Sangsang coldly. "You're a surgeon, not a psychiatrist. You just need to talk to the patients about their condition. What are you going to do if Jiang Chujing breaks down due to what you have said?"

"She won't."

"It's possible." Seeing that she did not repent at all, he was rather upset. "You can go back first."

After that, he turned around and was about to return to the sterile room.

Yet Tian Sangsang grabbed his arm. For the first time, she asked, "Why should I leave?"

He paused, looked at her stubborn face, and said cruelly, "There's no need for an unprofessional doctor here."

Unprofessional?

It had been nearly half a year, and that was what he thought of her.

She had always tried to be perfect at work, not only because she was his junior, but also because she wanted to get the recognition of this established expert in the medical field. However, because of what she said to the patient just now, her effort was totally negated by him.

Disappointment, sadness, powerlessness mixed with an inexplicable feeling surging in her heart.

At this moment, her pent-up emotions exploded. It was clearly not a big deal, but she felt quite aggrieved and angry.

What did she do wrong? She felt frustrated that she was remarked as an unprofessional doctor by him.

After seeing her reddened eyes, he couldn't remain his usual calmness and coldness. He frowned. Was she... crying?

Just as he was about to speak, she didn't give him the chance and ran away.

Looking at the figure that had disappeared from his sight, he clenched his hands, and wanted to chase after her. However, he paused.

There was still a lot of work to do later, so he had no time to comfort her.

[...]

In the ward, Jiang Chujing looked at the man sitting at the bedside. After being berated by Tian Sangsang, she didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid that if she said something he didn't want to hear, it would backfire.

Although Li Han didn't blame her, she just felt that the way he looked at her had changed. He was worried and care for her, but she detected that there was something missing.

"Don't do that again in the future." His cold tone made her clearly feel his resistance to this matter.

She then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still, she put on a pitiful look. "I'm sorry, Han. I just feel bad and I don't know what to do. I live here alone now. I used to have company from George and other doctors, but now I'm alone. I'm really prone to overthink and get depressed."

"Chujing, no matter what happened, you only have one life. If your parents were still alive, they wouldn't want to see this." He rarely mentioned her parents, but now he mentioned them, which showed how scared he was.

"This is not a small matter. And even if we move in, it may not help your recovery."

Being rejected by him over and over again, Jiang Chujing felt disappointed, but she refused to give up easily. Since she had proposed it, she must fight for it. Otherwise, she did not know when she could see him the next time.

"But I don't want to participate in the treatment at all..." She said it pitifully, as if the whole world had abandoned her. "Even if I'm cured, I have lost my family. What's the point?"

"Chujing!" He raised his voice, becoming helpless and confused about her current attitude. With the intense gaze, he said, "You've changed a lot."

Instantly, her heart thumped. Afraid that he would notice something, she quickly lowered her head and whispered, "You too."

They were speechless for a moment. Even the dust floating in the air seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. Even though they were in the same room, yet their hearts were separated by tension and estrangement.

"I need to discuss it with Shu Tian. You should now focus on the treatment. Don't do this kind of thing again. Shu Tian has no misunderstanding about you, and won't misunderstand again." He made things clearly to her so that she could understand, see her position.

How could she not understand? She still had a lot to say, but she knew very well that he was provoked now, and it was not beneficial for her to continue.

She then compromised. "Okay, go back and ask Miss Shu. If you can rest assured that I can live here alone, just forget what I just said."

And he stood up and turned to leave. "Just rest now."

Listening to the sound of the door closing, she also closed her eyes. She knew that there were surveillance cameras in this room, so she would never reveal any of her emotions. What she wanted was not a moment of happiness, but a complete possession of Li Han!
