Love So Sweet

117 Too Anxious to Wait

After leaving Wei’s residence, Zhang Li Xue sat in her car and drove away. A few minutes later, she realized that she had arrived in front of the hospital.

Zhang Li Xue began to hesitate.

She realized that it was too late for her to come over and see Bai Qi. However, after everything that she had experienced, Zhang Li Xue could no longer wait and found out the answer.

Pursing her lips, Zhang Li Xue began to look at the photograph that her aunt had given her just now.

Her instinct was telling her that the boy in the photograph and Doctor Bai Qi was the same person.

The contour of his eyes... was too similar to Xi Xi.

Bai Qi in the photograph looked somewhat serious. Meanwhile, his sister, Bai Xi Xi always wore a smile on her face.

Zhang Li Xue’s eyes softened as she stared at the photograph for a long time.

From the moment she met him, Zhang Li Xue had always thought that Doctor Bai seemed a little familiar. Being around him was too comfortable that it felt as if he was an old friend.

.....

Zhang Li Xue would never expect this doctor was her childhood friend.

She had remembered him now.

But what about him?

Did he remember her? Did he already know who she was after they met again? If he did, why didn’t he say a word to her?

According to what she had understood, the Bai family was supposed to be one of the tops in Y City. Then, their family had the chance to expand their business and moved over to S Country.

What had happened to their family in the past twenty years?

How did Bai Qi become like this?

The Bai family was rich. But from what she heard from Bai Qi and Bai Xi Xi, their family was no longer around. The siblings only had each other.

There was a long silence inside the vehicle.

Zhang Li Xue leaned back in her seat while thinking about what she should do next.

Just then, the phone in her hand rang. She glanced at the screen and quickly accepted the phone call.

“Li Xue, are you not back yet?” Li Qin Yao asked. There was a trace of worry in her voice.

“Mmm... Mommy, I’m going to be a little late today,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I met a few of my ex-classmates and we decided to chat for a bit.”

Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh in relief upon knowing that her daughter was safe. “Then, don’t hang around for too long. Remember to come back home soon. I’ll let the auntie know that you will return late.”

“I know.” Zhang Li Xue forced a smile. After exchanging a few words with her mother, Zhang Li Xue alighted from the vehicle.

As she walked toward the entrance, Zhang Li Xue tried to call Bai Qi’s number a few times. However, the man did not pick up her phone.

She was too anxious to wait.

Zhang Li Xue could only decide to come to the hospital to talk to Bai Qi. She had waited for a day to confirm it with her aunt. She did not want to wait for another day until she could talk to Bai Qi.

Taking the elevator, Zhang Li Xue headed to Bai Qi’s department.

As she had often visited her Uncle Qi Zheng in the hospital, she became quite familiar with this place.

The door slid open and she stepped out. Zhang Li Xue headed straight to the nurse’s station and flashed a smile. The nurse was someone that she had met a few times before.

“Miss Zhang, hello,” the elder nurse greeted. “Are you looking for Doctor Qi? He already clocked out a few hours ago.”

“Nurse Tian, I’m not looking for Doctor Qi.”

“Ah?” Nurse Tian looked back in puzzlement. Usually, Zhang Li Xue would come to this department to look for her uncle. However, this time, she was not.

“I’m looking for Doctor Bai.” Zhang Li Xue’s heart skipped a beat. “Is he on duty today?”

Nurse Tian opened her mouth to answer. However, before she could speak a word, someone had already spoken.

“Why are you looking for Doctor Bai?”

Hearing the voice, Zhang Li Xue quickly turned around.

In front of her was a female doctor in a white coat. Zhang Li Xue quickly noticed the female doctor’s unfriendly look.

“Doctor Xiao!” The nurse greeted. She looked at the two women in front of her and spoke, “This is Miss Zhang, Doctor Qi’s niece.”

Instantly, the female doctor’s expression shifted.

Everyone was aware that Doctor Qi is Doctor Bai’s mentor. Thinking that this young lady was looking for Doctor Bai for her uncle, the female doctor was no longer that unfriendly.

“Doctor Bai is in the middle of an emergency surgery,” Xiao Wan Zi said. ” I’m not sure when he will be done with the surgery. If you have a message for him, you can pass it to me.” Her lips turned into a polite smile.

Zhang Li Xue let out a breath of relief.

It turned out that Bai Qi had not picked up her phone call because he was in the middle of surgery.

“No,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I’ll wait for him.”

A displeased look flashed in Xiao Wan Zi’s eyes before it quickly disappeared. “Then, you can just wait for him.” She did not wait for a reply. After giving one last look at Zhang Li Xue, she then went back to her office.

Nurse Tian watched Xiao Wen Zi’s retreating figure before turning to Zhang Li Xue again. “Miss Zhang, do you want to wait for Doctor Bai?”

“Mmm...” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “It’s kind of urgent.”

The nurse smiled. “Then, come with me. I’ll lead you to the waiting room.”

Zhang Li Xue followed the nurse until they arrived at the waiting room outside the operation theatre.

“Miss Zhang, you can sit here.” Nurse Tian motioned towards the plastic chair. “Once Doctor Bai was done with the surgery, he will come through the door.”

Zhang Li Xue glanced at the door before smiling at the nurse. “Thank you, Nurse Tian.”

Then, she sat down on the chair and waited for Bai Qi to come out.

A sigh escaped her. Zhang Li Xue was glad that she was given some time. At least, she could figure out what she was going to say to Bai Qi the moment he walked out of the door.

Her heart pounded loudly as she tried to guess his reaction.
