Chapter 544 Attending Physician
Just then, at the end of the corridor, the elevator doors slid open silently.
Footsteps approached, their rhythm as even as a metronome.
Lin Feng's ears twitched, and he then turned slightly to the side, casting his gaze into the depths of the corridor.
A white figure stepped out.
The white coat was spotless, with the top button fastened at the collar.
Her hair was styled into a low bun, without a single stray hair.
She was like a scalpel carefully sheathed—restrained, sharp, and devoid of any superfluous emotion.
Before Lin Feng could process this overall impression, he was rooted to the spot by those eyes.
Those eyes had no irises, no pupils, and were a completely opaque milky white, like two polished porcelain beads embedded in their eye sockets.
The light from the ceiling light in the corridor shone in, without any refraction or reflection, simply absorbing all the light with a heavy, unadulterated force.
Her figure pressed down on him inch by inch.
Bai Tong was always facing their direction, but Lin Feng couldn't tell who she was looking at—
It was as if she was looking at all three of them at the same time, as well as something further away behind them.
Lin Feng quickly noticed a palm-sized burn on the left side of her neck, where the skin was wrinkled and turned into varying shades of pink.
Then Lin Feng saw her right hand.
Specifically, it refers to the ring finger of the right hand.
Starting from the second knuckle, the normal fingertip and nail disappear, replaced by a dark gray snake head.
It is only the size of the tip of an adult's little finger, with scales as fine as sand, gleaming with a cold, faint light under the lamp.
The snake's head had its eyes closed, but its body moved silently "swimming" along with Sabrina's arm movements as she walked.
In the blink of an eye, Sabrina had closed to within two meters of the three of them.
Her lifeless white eyes slowly swept across the three faces from left to right.
First was Evelyn.
Bai Tong's gaze lingered on Evelyn's face for about two seconds.
Then there's Lin Feng.
When Bai Tong landed on him, she lingered for a little longer.
Sabrina's gaze slid from his face to his nurse's uniform, and then back to his face.
Lin Feng looked back at her calmly.
Sabrina's lips didn't move, but the distance between her eyebrows seemed to have loosened by a fraction of a millimeter.
Finally, it was Wasim.
The moment her gaze fell upon him, Sabrina's brow furrowed slightly.
Then she looked away, as if something had soiled her eyes.
"You are the new nurses," Sabrina said.
Her voice was deep and slightly hoarse.
It's not a question, it's a statement.
She doesn't need confirmation; she's just marking facts.
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Yes, Lin Feng."
"Evelyn," Evelyn then gave her name.
Wasim's Adam's apple bobbed: "...Wasim."
Sabrina raised her right hand, and the ring finger of the snake head twitched slightly with her movement. She kept her eyes closed, as if she couldn't be bothered to participate in the meeting.
"The breast surgery ward is different from other wards."
"There's no head nurse here; you're directly responsible for me."
"You should all have already seen the rules, so I won't go into detail."
After Sabrina finished speaking, she turned around, the hem of her white coat swung in a crisp arc.
"Now, come with me to make rounds."
She walked deeper into the corridor.
Lin Feng was the first to follow.
Evelyn followed closely behind, taking two steps before glancing sideways at Wasim.
Wasim took a deep breath and started walking.
The first ward on the left side of the corridor.
The doorplate reads: [401, Li Shuwan]
Sabrina didn't knock; she just pushed the door open and entered.
The ward was a single room, with the curtains half-open, allowing sunlight to stream in through the gaps and draw a bright white line on the floor.
A woman in her early thirties sat leaning against the bed, her long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders. She had delicate features and her makeup was flawless.
The kind of person who refuses to remove their makeup even when hospitalized.
She was scrolling through her phone when she heard the door open. She looked up, her gaze first falling on Sabrina, and her lips pursed slightly.
It was a polite expression, but it wasn't exactly respectful.
Then she saw the three people behind Sabrina.
"Oh," Li Shuwan raised an eyebrow, "new here?"
Her gaze swept from Evelyn to Lin Feng, and finally landed on Wasim, lingering for two seconds.
"...This physique," her lips twitched slightly, "...a nurse?"
Wasim's face paled even more.
Sabrina didn't respond to that. She walked to the bedside, her white eyes looking down at Li Shuwan.
How are you feeling today?
"It's alright." Li Shuwan put down her phone, her tone casual. "It's just that the left side is still a little swollen, but I don't feel anything on the right side."
Sabrina didn't speak; she reached her right hand toward Li Shuwan's chest.
The vertical pupil on the ring finger of the snake head moved slightly, as if it were also "looking".
Through her hospital gown, she gently pressed twice on the outer edge of Li Shuwan's left side.
"You're recovering well." She withdrew her hand, her voice flat. "You can be discharged tomorrow."
Li Shuwan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Sabrina did not answer; she turned her head to look at Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng".
"exist."
"Record: Bed 401, fourth day post-surgery, symmetrical in both atria, mild swelling and pain on the left side, no redness, swelling and oozing, to be discharged tomorrow."
Lin Feng opened the 401 record page from the medical record folder he brought from the nurses' station and quickly wrote it down.
Sabrina had already turned and walked away.
Li Shuwan muttered from behind, "They're leaving already? Didn't even ask a couple more questions..."
Nobody paid any attention to her.
As Lin Feng walked out of 401, a line of semi-transparent numbers suddenly appeared in the upper right corner of his vision:
[Bed 401 · Li Shuwan · Dislike Level: 0]
He was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening—
This is the "invisible panel" mentioned in the rules. It starts loading automatically as soon as you enter the ward, but this is only the first time it has been triggered.
........................
In the next room, 402, is patient Wang Nianci.
The moment the door was pushed open, a strong, milky smell wafted out.
Lying on the bed was a young woman in her late twenties, with a round face, fair skin, and messy hair tied into a bun.
She was holding a baby who was wrapped up tightly in her arms and feeding him.
Hearing the door open, the woman looked up, a flicker of panic crossing her face.
"Don't move." Sabrina's voice was devoid of warmth. "Keep feeding."
Wang Nianci bit her lip, did not get up, but her body was visibly tense.
Sabrina walked to the bedside, her white eyes falling on the baby.
It was a newborn that looked to be less than two months old, its eyes closed as it sucked hard, its little face turning red.
"Is the right side open?"
"Not yet," Wang Nianci's voice carried a hint of grievance, "I can barely get a little out from the left side, but the right side is still hard and I can't squeeze anything out..."
"Where's the suction device?"
"I used it... but it hurts so much, I'm afraid to turn it up high..."
Sabrina was silent for two seconds.
Then she turned her head to look at Evelyn.
Evelyn.
"Yes." Evelyn stepped forward.
"We'll unclog her pores using manual techniques, not instruments."
