"Um, I took a leave of absence. My friend had something come up," Li Man hurriedly explained, afraid that Huo Jian Sheng would think she was skipping work.
Huo Jian Sheng looked at her with an expression that said, "Are you out of your mind? You took a leave of absence just to be scolded?"
Li Man's face instantly reddened.
She couldn't explain herself clearly.
Wang Jun Feng saw Huo Jian Sheng's extraordinary temperament and his outstanding attire. It was clear that he was either wealthy or of high social status.
Wang Jun Feng didn't dare to offend a person like that.
He looked at Huo Jian Sheng, unable to speak out in anger, his expression as if he had eaten feces.
The onlookers saw that Wang Jun Feng had stopped scolding and dispersed.
"Let's go," Huo Jian Sheng said.
"You go ahead, Mr. Huo. I'll wait for my friend to come out. She's in the operating room," Li Man pointed to the operating room and said.
Huo Jian Sheng glanced at Wang Jun Feng, puzzled, and asked, "You seem to be quite eloquent. Even after being scolded like that, why didn't you say a word? Are you mute?"
Li Man pursed her lips and said, "If you get bitten by a dog, would you bite back? How can a person stoop to the level of an animal?"
It was an insult to call Wang Jun Feng an animal.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jun Feng's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't retaliate. If he did, it would only prove that he admitted to being an animal himself.
Huo Jian Sheng chuckled softly, "Fair enough."
"By the way, Mr. Huo, do you have any business at the hospital?" Li Man asked.
From his appearance, he didn't seem like someone who was here for medical purposes.
"My friend works here. I accompanied him for the night shift," Huo Jian Sheng replied.
Cowardly people should never become doctors, or else they wouldn't dare to work the night shift alone.
Huo Jian Sheng was often called by his good friend to accompany him during the night shift, which led the hospital staff to think that they were a couple.
He had his own grievances.
Li Man misunderstood "him" as "her" and thought that Huo Jian Sheng was accompanying his girlfriend for the night shift.
She didn't ask further and nodded in understanding.
Just then, the door of the operating room opened, and a doctor walked out.
"Doctor, how is my wife? Is the baby okay?" Wang Jun Feng rushed forward in long strides, grabbing the doctor's arm and asking anxiously.
The doctor's face was filled with regret as he said, "I'm sorry, we couldn't save the baby."
Wang Jun Feng turned around and glared fiercely at Li Man, "It's all because of you. You killed my child."
As he spoke, he charged towards Li Man, raising his hand to strike her, but before his hand could reach her, Huo Jian Sheng grabbed hold of it.
"Let's have a civilized conversation. Don't resort to violence so quickly," Huo Jian Sheng forcefully released Wang Jun Feng's hand.
Wang Jun Feng stumbled back a few steps from the force, before regaining his balance. He stared at Huo Jian Sheng and said, "It's none of your business. Don't meddle in this."
"I want to meddle in this," Huo Jian Sheng's imposing aura filled the air as he coldly replied.
Wang Jun Feng looked as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. He knew he was no match for Huo Jian Sheng. He turned to Li Man and cursed, "I won't let you off the hook. Just you wait, I'll make you regret it."
"Li Man."
Chen XiaoHui, clutching her stomach, slowly walked out of the operating room.
"XiaoHui!"
"Darling!"
Li Man wanted to approach, but was pushed away by Wang Jun Feng. "Step aside!"
After pushing Li Man away, Wang Jun Feng went forward and supported Chen Xiaohui, his face full of concern. "Darling, are you okay?"
Li Man stood in place, watching Chen Xiaohui.
"Don't touch me!" Chen Xiaohui gently pushed away Wang Jun Feng's hand, her eyes devoid of warmth as she coldly said, "Let's get divorced."
