Dean Zhang
Zhang Clan is one of the richest powerhouses in the country. A family of respectable doctors and generals. Dean is the grandson of the ruthless General Jin Zhan, who was known to be a war god in his young years. He's a widely known genius, the second son of Dr. Sean Zhang (Neurosurgeon), and Dr. Aurora Yang (Paediatricsurgeon). Because he was a prodigy, he was able to master all types of surgeries. After studying abroad, he volunteered for medical missions around the globe. Then returned to the country and worked in one of their hospitals.
He just concluded his second major surgery and was planning to go home when the accident happened. Thankfully he was not alone but they're still short of manpower since the doctors were still in the operating rooms. After helping in the emergency department, he decided to make rounds on the patients who were already in the rooms.
When he closed the door of the fourth patient, the cell phone on the side of the bed rang. He was aware that the patient's family was not notified because of a lack of information. When he answered, there was a lovely voice at the other end of the line. Well, that was until she shouted and almost burst his eardrums. Her worried voice was uncomfortable so he tried to ensure she was alright. It's a protocol to calm the relatives but he usually talks coldly and he's easily misunderstood so he talks less and lets the other doctors and nurses do the talking.
After doing the rounds, and everything calmed down, he went to the office and tried to read a patient's chart. He rubs his head and eyes. He can't figure out why he wants to see the owner of that voice. He stood up, put on his coat, and went back to the room.
When he opened the door, he was assaulted by a sweet and intoxicating smell. It was very pleasant and it immediately relaxed his tired nerves. It felt really....good.
"Hello." 'She's crying...why does my chest hurt?..maybe it's fatigue, yeah that's it.'
"....." she stupidly staring at him.
"Cough, cough."
"Oh, sorry, hello doctor. How's my friend?" wipes her tears with her sleeves.
"Well she's safe, but we still need to check when she wakes up, so she might stay here for a while. Because of the injured arms and legs, it will take at least two weeks if there's nothing wrong with it." It was the longest sentence he had spoken this month.
"Thank you, doctor..." removes her gaze from him and she resumes her focus on Adelle's face. Reminiscing their friendship, she was completely immersed in her own world and forgets the gorgeous man whose emotions slowly freezing the room.
"It's nothing, if you have questions feel free to find me." He took his wallet and gave her his card.
"Thanks." Bella took it and read....Dr. Dean Zhang 8xxxxxxxxxx. What she doesn't know, it was his personal number, that only his family and close friends know. Everybody would pay a high price to get his number but she tossed it in the bag like it was nothing. Dean's face twitched little. He wants to get to know her but doesn't know what to say. He also felt abandoned and annoyed. He hesitated for a moment, then he said goodbye and left.
"....." He seemed angry?' shrugging her shoulders, she went to the bathroom to wash her face. "Boom!" She was wearing her bunny PJs..."....." She forgot to change before coming out. Sighed....She left a note on the table and went out to buy food and clothes for them.
Now, this reminds her of the upcoming trouble. Everybody could get hurt and first aid knowledge is a must. Well, it can be studied but what if they needed surgeries and other treatments. Hospitals in bases would have limited access and costs skyrocket work points.
'What should I do? Study? But I don't have time. Maybe I should hire a doctor?...That's it!' Though she's afraid of betrayals, nobody will refuse this great privilege. She'll write it on the list along with additional houses and cabins that will serve as a hospital. She wants to nurse Adelle and ask for her later when she gets better. Two heads are better than one, as they say, so she tossed the idea in the back of her mind and continued shopping.
While she was wracking her brains, the other was sulking....
He's a germaphobe so he really hates other people's touch. When he was young, he was labeled as a cruel child. When his classmate tried to kiss him, his hands moved on its own and shoved the girl away from him. When he was in high school, they won a group competition. A guy wanted to initiate a group hug and tried to embrace him. But reflexively pushed him away and the poor guy rolled three times on the floor because of the force. There was this campus beauty in college who obviously wanted his attention, deliberately fell two steps down the stairs. Instead of catching the girl, he evaded....she was sent to the hospital with a broken calf and knee.
But she's different. He wants to get close but she's unmoved! the first woman who ignores him.
Her heart-shaped face was flawless white. She looked cute on her bunny styled PJs. Her long wavy light brown hair falls on the side like waterfalls and her weeping red puppy eyes were adorable. Her brows formed a small hill from worry. He had the urge to wipe those tears and touch those brows. And her pink lips that seemed deliciously waiting to be eaten...."Tsk!" Devastated with his emotions, he went to his car in the parking lot and went home.
She returns with bags full of clothes, towels, undergarments, porridge, a thermos of hot water, and some snacks. She sits on a chair beside her bed and ponders. Tonight she'll sleep in the hotel upfront and when she wakes up, she must convince her to move in. Then interroga 'ehem' ask why she was in the supermarket when she's supposed to be at work.
While making a list of questions in her head, the patient's eyes slowly open.
"Heeeyyyy, how are you feeling?" She tried speaking softly while smiling. She wants to embrace her but was afraid of worsening the injury. She touches her head like coaxing a baby. She missed her voice, smile , and her recklessness.
Adelle slightly tilts her head and blinks her eyes a couple of times. With a hoarse voice...
"Where am I?"Adelle said confused.
"You were injured and were sent to the hospital."
"Oh..." tried to recall what had happened....then looks at Bella.
"Pretty girl.....who are you?"
