One Night Surprise

Chapter 427 Unable to Hold Back From Meeting Her

Courtney stiffened at the sight of the injured arm. Feeling embarrassed, she wished to disappear at that very moment. “N-Nothing…”

“Then would you please help to check on my injury, Dr. Hunter?”

Holding his injured arm, Alexander calmly looked at Courtney with an expression that she could not discern. Courtney had no choice because the debridement specialist had gone home to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife, and Courtney had to fill in for him. She thought that there would not be many patients in the emergency department today, but who knew that she would meet Alexander by chance?

When she was removing the bandages, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the look of interest in Alexander’s eyes, and she suddenly felt that this might not be a coincidence. Who comes to the hospital at 2 A.M for a wound that has been bandaged the day before?

Taking off the bandages, Courtney finally saw the terrible wound exposed, and the chaotic thoughts inside her head all disappeared at once. In fact, her hand trembled a little.

“Who bandaged you? The wound was not even cleaned up properly, and no medicine was applied. It’s only wrapped with gauze. What kind of doctor is this irresponsible? There’s so much pus.”

When Courtney didn’t hear Alexander’s reply for a long while, she looked up and met his gaze, which was sizing her up as if he was hiding his thoughts. Feeling panicked, she avoided his gaze quickly and said, “I’m going to get some medicine. Wait here and don’t move.”

Five minutes later, Courtney came back with a tray of debridement equipment and sterilizing medicine. Without saying a word, she resterilized and cleaned the wound on his arm, applied ointment and put a new gauze on. The whole time, she did not look up and had any eye contact with Alexander. After the wound was all bandaged, she packed up her equipment and went back behind the desk to give a prescription.

“It’s a moderate wound but there is an obvious infection. After I’ve bandaged it, you still have to change the dressing every day at the hospital. Avoid putting pressure on this arm in the coming days. When the scab has fully formed, you don’t need to change the dressing anymore.”

After saying this, Courtney tore off the prescription list and handed it over. “Go pay the bill, and then get the medicine.”

Alexander did not take the list, but pulled the chair out and sat down while putting on his shirt. “If I had not really been injured today, would you not say even a word to me?”

“That’s a strange thing for you to say,” Courtney spoke calmly. “There’s no animosity between us, so why shouldn’t I talk to you? We’re acquaintances after all, so it’s alright for us to merely greet each other.”
