Capítulo 36: Chapter 33: Third Time Around

The quiet office was suddenly disturbed when the door burst open.

An anxious-looking nurse walked in, and when she saw the person sleeping on the desk, she lightened her steps, cautiously approaching before gently calling out.

"Doctor Chen?"

The young man lying down moved his eyebrows slightly, then lifted his head, his eyes revealing a momentary confusion before suddenly sharpening.

His abrupt change of expression startled the nurse beside him; she carefully took two steps back and tentatively asked, "Doctor Chen?"

Xu Shuo collected his gaze, looked at the nurse who had twice brought him messages, and sighed imperceptibly before responding, "Yes, it's me. What is it?"

"Well... the mental state of the patient in room thirteen has deteriorated. Do you think we should administer today's medication ahead of schedule?" the nurse asked with continued caution.

This was already the third time.

"Understood, I'll go have a look in a bit," Xu Shuo agreed amiably.
