CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 137: CHEN TINGTING STIRRING UP TROUBLE

Xiao Li listened to Mianmian’s childish voice and her laughter at the end of her words, and unconsciously, she also started to laugh.

After listening to Mianmian’s audio message, Xiao Li replied with one of her own and then listened to Qin Xiao’s message, "My dear Nini, you’re amazing!

You must be tired, have a good rest. I just got off my shift..."

Hearing herself being praised twice on WeChat, Xiao Li’s spirits soared instantly...

After happily sending a message back to Qin Xiao, Xiao Li got up to wash up and prepared to start her shift.

After several days of intense work, Xiao Li and Dai Zihan, along with the group of medical staff who joined the battlefield later, began to adapt to the intensity and became more adept at handling various urgent situations.

"Ding... ding... ding... ding..."

Xiao Li had just finished attending to a patient when the monitor of another patient behind her started beeping again...

She immediately turned around and engaged in the next rescue; now she was becoming more skilled at intubating to save lives.

After successfully intubating another patient, Xiao Li was so exhausted that she leaned on her waist and took a short breath.

But just as she took a brief rest, another new patient was brought in...

In the previous hour, two patients had passed away in the critical care unit, and now two more critical patients were transferred in...

Xiao Li and Dai Zihan followed Bai Yu to check on the newly transferred patients, and to their surprise, they found someone familiar.

Among the two people brought in was Chen Tingting.

Since dislocating Chen Tingting’s shoulder at the Zhen Family’s last time, Xiao Li hadn’t seen her, only hearing that the Chen Family had suffered because of her.

Chen Tingting seemed to be in terrible shape now, on a ventilator, struggling to breathe...

Even though she recognized Chen Tingting, Xiao Li didn’t treat her differently due to the past troubles she caused.

Here in the hospital, Chen Tingting was just a patient to her.

Bai Yu was busy with emergency care for another patient, so Xiao Li and Dai Zihan attended to Chen Tingting, and after a series of rescues, Chen Tingting’s breathing finally stabilized a bit.

Chen Tingting, lying on the bed, had been somewhat unconscious earlier, and because Xiao Li was in protective gear, she didn’t know that it was Xiao Li who had just saved her.

Until Xiao Li finished the emergency care and turned her back to leave, Chen Tingting drowsily saw the name written on the back of Xiao Li’s protective suit and uncertainly reached out to grab her.

But she was too slow, Xiao Li had already taken two steps away, so she only managed to grab the nearby Dai Zihan.

Dai Zihan, held by her, thought she might need help with something, so she leaned down and asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Xiao Li heard Dai Zihan’s voice and stopped, turning back, while Chen Tingting pointed at Xiao Li, "She... she... is Xiao Li?"

Because Chen Tingting’s voice was not loud, only Dai Zihan heard what she asked; Xiao Li did not hear it and assumed Chen Tingting was uncomfortable, intending to check on her, but she stopped when she heard Dai Zihan’s reply.

Dai Zihan thought maybe Chen Tingting had sought out Xiao Li for treatment before and recognized her, so she smiled and nodded, "Yes, she is Doctor Xiao, she just saved you, so don’t worry!"

After saying that, Dai Zihan was about to stand up when Chen Tingting suddenly reached out and forcefully pulled down her mask...

Xiao Li, seeing Chen Tingting’s action, immediately went forward to stop her, but it was too late.

Dai Zihan’s mask had already been pulled off, leaving her stunned.

Xiao Li quickly rushed forward, "Zihan, quickly cover yourself and get out..."

This commotion attracted Bai Yu, who had just finished the emergency care; he immediately took the stunned Dai Zihan away.

After Bai Yu led Dai Zihan away, Xiao Li looked at Chen Tingting with burning anger, "Chen Tingting, what are you doing?"

Chen Tingting smiled, "Doing... what... huh... getting back... at you!"

Xiao Li was furious, "If you want revenge on me, come at me! Why target my colleague?"

Chen Tingting smirked again, "How could I... dare to hurt you?

I know, if I harm you... I would die miserably.

So...I target your colleague; if your colleague gets into trouble because of you... ha... ha...

Let’s see how you can continue working... I want to see... how your colleagues... will look at you...

Ha ha ha... ha..."

As Chen Tingting grew more agitated, her monitoring devices began to alarm, "Ding... ding... ding..."

Chen Tingting’s breath also became more rapid...

Enraged as Xiao Li was, she still had to save her; the duty as a doctor compelled her to save Chen Tingting.

Colleagues nearby were also angry about what Chen Tingting did to Dai Zihan, yet they had to assist Xiao Li in the rescue.

After bringing Chen Tingting back again, Xiao Li didn’t let anyone else watch over her but stayed herself.

She was a madwoman; she had gone after Dai Zihan, and there was no guaranteeing she wouldn’t go after someone else.

Xiao Li couldn’t let another colleague get into trouble on her account.

Although Chen Tingting was now weak and unlikely to have the strength to harm anyone else.

On the bed, Chen Tingting gradually awoke... she was still a bit groggy. Xiao Li saw this and said coldly, "You are awake, don’t worry, you’re still alive...

Chen Tingting, don’t be surprised!

No matter how unforgivable your actions, as long as you are in the hospital, we won’t neglect saving you!

However, everything you have done has been reported to the judicial authorities; once you’re better, there will be detentions and judgments as deemed necessary."

After saying these words, Xiao Li performed some checks, ensured all of her indexes were fine, and then left.

After leaving Chen Tingting’s ward, Xiao Li immediately went to find Dai Zihan.

Dai Zihan had been exposed in the contaminated area, so she had to be quarantined and tested first.

As Xiao Li approached, Dai Zihan still seemed a bit dazed...

Xiao Li stood in front of Dai Zihan, "Zihan, I’m sorry... I..."

Xiao Li felt deeply apologetic; she never thought Chen Tingting would do such a thing. If she had known, she would never have let Zihan get close to Chen Tingting.

Dai Zihan heard Xiao Li’s voice, looked up at her, pulled a slight smile, and said softly, "I’m fine... don’t apologize, it’s not your fault.

If there’s a fault, it’s mine.

Actually, this outcome was what I wanted.

Little Li, you’ve been telling me not to take shifts and to go home and rest, but I insisted on taking shifts. Do you know why?

Because I thought, maybe if I exhaust myself a little, I might... lose the child."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li’s eyes widened, "Zihan, you..."

As Dai Zihan spoke, tears began to fall, "The first night we were quarantined, I was really scared, that night I called Wen Zeyu, but to this day, I haven’t reached him..."
