Love Heals (the Original Work)

Could it be for her? Doubts rose in her heart. But if not, who else could it be for?

Speaking of eating cake, he had become quite the expert, not because he loved it himself, but because she did. She often asked him to buy it. Eventually, even he, a grown man, could differentiate between various types like mousse, cheesecake, brownies, tiramisu, and the assorted flavors such as fruit, matcha, snowfield, rum, chocolate, and so on.

After entering the office, he placed the cake on the desk and started working, and Ruan Liuzheng finally shifted her gaze away from the cake.

She had a feeling, a very strong one, that the cake was definitely for her! At this moment, she was just relieved he hadn't given it to her in front of so many people. Where would she have put her face then? Moreover, Ding Yiyuan was out of sync with her. If she found out about her little episode with Teacher Ning, wouldn't she tear her to pieces?

Following him, they first checked on several key patients, getting an update on their condition from the previous day.

He spoke to the patients with such gentleness. If Dr. Ning ever smiled, it must have been when facing patients and their families.

When he smiled, he looked so handsome. His eyes, already bright, would look as if they had been inlaid with sunshine. The world around them seemed to become brighter and warmer.

Ruan Liuzheng, who had occasionally caught such a smile, was addicted to it. She liked to secretly watch him during his interactions with patients, feeling that no scene in the whole world could compare to the beauty of his smiling eyes.

Just a pity, none of those smiles were because of her.

Today, six years later, seeing that smile again felt like it was from another lifetime.

After checking on the patients, they returned to the department for a handover meeting, conveyed hospital documents, and began the formal rounds.

Bed 28 was not his patient. However, as he passed by, the family member grabbed him urgently, saying, "Doctor, doctor, the catheter has fallen out! The catheter has fallen out!"

Ding Yiyuan worked quickly, immediately stepping forward to handle it. Urine had already leaked out, wetting her hands.

For medical staff, there was no such thing as dirty and clean when it came to the human body. But still, Ding Yiyuan's ability to do so was slightly surprising to Ruan Liuzheng.

After handling it, they asked what happened. The family said it was an accident. Ding Yiyuan immediately flared up and scolded both the patient and the family member.

The family member was left speechless. Ning Zhiqian didn't say a word, and the rounds continued.

When they reached Bed 39, he suddenly turned around.

She and Ding Yiyuan didn't know what was going on but silently followed.

He returned to the office, only to pick up the cake.

Ding Yiyuan already had surprise written all over her face, while Ruan Liuzheng was overwhelmed with embarrassment. He couldn't suddenly, in a bout of madness, be thinking of giving her the cake, could he? She planned how to refuse him. After all, any kind of intimate interaction was somewhat ambiguous given their current relationship. And there was Ding Yiyuan, watching!

He came up to her! She had her words of refusal ready to go: Teacher Ning, I've already had breakfast, thank you! We have only met for the second time, I cannot accept your kindness!

Yes! Just like that!

As she held her breath and prepared to say this, he walked past her with an expressionless face...

He walked past?

She stood there in surprise, stunned...

"Eh? Why aren't you coming?" asked Ding Yiyuan, seeing her standing motionless.

"Oh! Coming!" She hurried to catch up with a little jog.

He headed straight to Bed 39.
