Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Rumors, Keep it Secret Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Rumors, Keep it Secret How did she manage that?

When the earthquake hit, everyone instinctively sought shelter, yet she didn’t hide?

Wasn’t she afraid?

Or was it that her psychological quality was so strong that no external factor could interfere with her surgery?

She stood steadily in front of the operating table, and if it wasn’t for the live broadcast showing other medical staff hiding in the corner, they would have thought the recent earthquake was just their imagination!

A moment later, someone took the lead and began to clap.

Soon, the conference room was filled with thunderous applause, everyone was impressed by Lin Chuyi’s strong professional dedication.

The patient’s family was moved to tears, “Thank you, doctor! Having such an impressive doctor perform surgery on my mother, our whole family is extremely grateful!”

A doctor said, “This doctor’s name is Anxin, doesn’t the name itself make you feel at ease?”

“Yes, yes! Having her really is comforting! Thank you, Doctor Anxin!”

Another doctor lamented, “She truly is worthy of being Principal An’s proudest student, not even an earthquake can disturb her surgery, it’s incredible! When will I ever have a student as outstanding as her?”

“Director Yu, you might need to have your own child for that, didn’t you know Anxin is Principal An’s granddaughter? Principal An is a top-notch expert, Doctor Anxin has inherited the family’s medical tradition!”

“What?! Doctor Anxin is Principal An’s granddaughter?”

“Yes, I also heard it through the grapevine, but you must keep it a secret!”

Everyone: …
You say it so loudly, we all heard it.

In the operating room, Lin Chuyi was oblivious to everything happening in the conference room; even if she knew, she wouldn’t pay any heed to it, as everyone in the hospital called her Doctor Anxin, and more than one or two people have said she is An Huadong’s granddaughter.

She was still diligently removing the next tumor, undistracted.

An Huadong, who was supported by Chi Cheng as he stood up from the corner, was not entirely satisfied, “Chi Cheng, can you not overreact next time? You’re embarrassing me, your teacher!”

“Look at your junior sister, unflappable at the operating table, be more like her. Today, we’re live broadcasting the surgery, even if you’re scared, at least pretend you’re not, right? Hide? What’s there to hide from?”

Chi Cheng’s face was flushed with shame, “I’m sorry, teacher, I definitely won’t hide next time.”

After An Huadong finished scolding this student, he walked over to Lin Chuyi and reprimanded her, “Anxin, have you gone mad? Why didn’t you hide during the earthquake? The ceiling could have fallen and killed you, do you understand?”

“Your life is more important than anything else; remember, no matter what happens, always protect yourself first.”

Chi Cheng: “?”

Lin Chuyi chuckled, “I understand, teacher.”

Twenty minutes later, the surgery was over.

Lin Chuyi stepped down from the operating table and went to the office; it was then that she learned from her assistant about the magnitude 5.8 earthquake, which had already been reported in the news and claimed four lives.

Even parts of their hospital’s walls had cracked because of the earthquake.

After a short break, Lin Chuyi ate a piece of chocolate to replenish her energy, then dived into the next surgery.

But this time, it wasn’t a public operation; she only had to perform one public surgery per month.

By the end of the day, Lin Chuyi had performed four surgeries, and by the time she returned to her office, it was already dark outside.

Her assistant brought her dinner, “Doctor Anxin, the cafeteria made chicken legs today, I got you two!”

Lin Chuyi was famished, not to mention two chicken legs, she could have devoured two whole chickens.

Actually, the hospital cafeteria’s food was just mediocre, but Lin Chuyi didn’t mind, she took the meal box and started eating voraciously.

Halfway through the meal, she received a call from Su Shan, the assistant at Jungle Pharmaceutical, “Director Lin, the pharmaceutical exchange meeting hosted by our company is set for tonight, but President Jungle can’t make it back from his business trip, he said you should host it this time.”
