Chapter 608: 133: Small Town Girl_8

It was simply wishful thinking.

Just then, a nurse carrying the registration book walked into the ward, "Is there any family member of Shen Zhiqiang?"

"I am." Loo Xiyue immediately stood up.

The nurse checked Shen Zhiqiang’s basic information and then said, "You have an operation scheduled for eight o’clock this morning, right?"

"Yes." Loo Xiyue nodded.

The nurse nodded, "The operating room has been made available for you. Contact the doctor and don’t be late."

"Okay, we definitely won’t be late." After speaking, Loo Xiyue looked at Shen Lijun, "Junjun, do you have Doctor Zhou’s number?"

"I do." Shen Lijun took out a slip of paper from her pocket.

Shen Qianqian glanced at the number on the slip of paper.

A very ordinary number.

It started with 178.

Zhou Huatong was a well-known figure in the medical community; one didn’t need to use one’s toes to figure out that he wouldn’t use such an ordinary cell phone number.

And yet, this mother and daughter treasured it like a precious gift.

Seconds and minutes ticked by.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 7:50 AM.

As the time ticked by relentlessly, Loo Xiyue was already getting anxious.

Shen Lijun comforted her, "Mom, don’t worry. Maybe Doctor Zhou is already on his way."

Loo Xiyue nodded.

Shen Qianqian looked at Shen Lijun, "I hope Doctor Zhou really is on his way, and not that your classmate Lin Wu failed to contact him at all."

Shen Lijun said, "Xiao Wu wouldn’t lie to me."

Shen Qianqian didn’t say anything more.

A few minutes later, the nurse walked in from outside again, "Shen Zhiqiang’s family, your scheduled operation time is coming up soon, and the leading surgeon hasn’t checked in yet. We can delay the operating room till 8:30 AM at the latest! You need to hurry up and contact the lead surgeon now!"

"Okay!" Loo Xiyue turned to Shen Lijun, "Call Doctor Zhou quickly."

Shen Lijun nodded and immediately dialed the number on the slip of paper.

But the next second,

The sound of the phone being switched off came through.

Shen Lijun’s face turned somewhat pale.

Loo Xiyue immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"

Before Shen Lijun could speak, Shen Qianqian said, "Of course, there’s no contact! I’ve said it all along that Lin Wu isn’t reliable, but neither of you mother and daughter took my words to heart!"

As she spoke, Shen Qianqian turned to Loo Xiyue, "Loo Xiyue, if anything happens to my brother today, I won’t let you off the hook!"

Loo Xiyue couldn’t afford to get angry with Shen Qianqian, and instead said, "Quick, get in touch with Xiao Wu!"

Zhou Huatong was contacted by Lin Wu, and if they couldn’t reach Zhou Huatong, Lin Wu must have a way to contact him.

Shen Qianqian then said, "Since the number on the slip of paper isn’t going through, it’s likely Lin Wu’s phone also won’t work."

Shen Lijun immediately dialed Lin Wu’s number.

As Shen Qianqian had said, the call went unanswered.

Having no other choice, Shen Lijun left a message on Lin Wu’s WeChat.

But there was no reply on WeChat either.

As the clock passed eight o’clock, Shen Lijun was very anxious, sweat beading on her forehead.

Shen Qianqian crossed her arms, "I knew it would turn out this way!"

"Wasn’t Doctor Zhou supposed to come today?" Just then, the attending physician came in from outside, "It’s already 8:10 AM, you don’t have much time left."

Loo Xiyue’s face turned somewhat pale, "Dr. Jiang, please give us a little more time. Doctor Zhou must be stuck in a traffic jam; he will come! He will definitely come!"

Dr. Jiang looked at Loo Xiyue, his eyes full of skepticism, "Doctor Zhou is a person who values punctuality, he never runs late. Are you sure your family has really contacted him? If you haven’t reached Doctor Zhou, then don’t waste time; our operating room resources are very precious."

Upon hearing this, both Loo Xiyue and Shen Lijun were taken aback.

Shen Qianqian said with a face full of apology, "I’m so sorry, Dr. Jiang, We indeed were unable to get in touch with Doctor Zhou. We won’t need the operating room for now. Please stabilize my brother’s condition for now, I promise you, we will get in touch with Doctor Zhou within this week!"

It seemed that she had to personally reach out to the Lv Family.

Dr. Jiang nodded, "Alright."

After speaking, he turned and left.

"Sorry, I’m late!" Just at that moment, a young man in a white coat, panting, came in from outside, "There was a minor car accident on the road."

Hearing this, Loo Xiyue’s face was full of surprise, "You, you’re Doctor Zhou?"

"I am Zhou Huatong," Zhou Huatong said with a face full of apology, "Are you Mrs. Shen? Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Shen Qianqian squinted her eyes, "I heard Doctor Zhou is over forty years old this year, young man, how old are you?"

How could this young man possibly be Doctor Zhou?

It must be Lin Wu who found some intern to fool them.

After all, none of them had ever seen Doctor Zhou!

Dr. Jiang, who had left, came running back in at this moment, grabbed Zhou Huatong’s hand with emotions he couldn’t conceal, "Doctor Zhou, it’s an honor to meet you."
