Stuck in you

Chapter 303 Met Acquaintances At The Hospital

Time went by quickly in Rachel's new life.

Sometimes, she dreamed of her past and Jack. She woke up crying in the middle of the night many times, but she never thought of going back home.

Every time she couldn't sleep, she would just read her medical book and soon forget all the distracting thoughts.

One year had passed.

Like the usual, Lucas took Rachel's book from her and asked, "Would you like to take a seat first?"

Rachel nodded and pointed to a lawn outside the school building. "Let's sit there."

When they were already seated, she asked first, "Lucas, are you going to ask me if I'm going to stay?"

Today was their last day of school.

However, before their class ended, their professor, Mack said something so tempting.

He said that he would choose two students from their class that would be his apprentices in the hospital where he worked.

She was very much interested in his proposal. If she could work for Mack, she would definitely learn a lot of medical skills from him.

Seeing how her eyes lit up, Lucas already knew what to do, so he asked, "Do you want to stay?"

She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. "It's not actually a question whether I want to stay or not. The real question is if I can make it. But I will try my best to get that chance. How about you?"

Lucas shook his head and looked into the distance. He answered, "No, I can't stay anymore. I need to go back and see someone."

Out of curiosity, she asked again, "Iris?"

She winked at him and smiled happily.

Although she no longer expected to have a chance in love, she still hoped that everyone around her could have a happy love life.

After all, romance really brought happiness to people's lives.

Scratching his head, he replied dotingly, "Yes. It's been a year. It's time for me to go back."

He stood up, patted the grass on his trousers, and reached out his hand to pull Rachel. "Are you going to the library later? I need to go back and pack my things. I booked the earliest flight tomorrow. I'll call you when I get home."

"Yeah, I'll go to the library later. Well, have a nice trip."

It was a brief farewell between the two of them. Although she couldn't help feeling sad, she should still wish him the best.

In the past three days, Rachel had been reviewing until two o'clock in the morning for the finals. So now, as soon as her head touched the pillow, she immediately fell into slumber.

Finally, Mack's exam was done.

Although she was confident that she did well in the test, a feeling of nervousness was still there while waiting for the result. The next evening, she finally received an email from Mack, informing her to report to him in the hospital tomorrow.

She got up early the next morning, dressed up, and put on a light makeup. She arrived at Mack's office on time, together with Allen, an American doctor who was three years older than her.

They had met once, and she immediately had a bad impression on him. Mack had assigned them to work together in one project before, but things didn't go well because of his conceitedness.

Mack looked at their resumes again and said, "Although this is an internship, both of you have already worked as doctors for several years, so don't expect me to be kind to you. I won't be treating you like fresh graduates.

You are not allowed to make mistakes, understand?

If you think you can't do it, you are free to leave now." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He looked at Allen for a while, then his gaze shifted to Rachel as if he was scrutinizing them.

Allen immediately took a step forward to show off his determination. "I will do my best, Dr. Mack."

Rachel just nodded as a sign that she didn't have any objections either.

"That's good, then." Mack stood up and walked out of his office, gesturing for them to follow. "I'll take you around first."

Throughout her medical career, Rachel had already worked with a lot of doctors and professors in the university and hospital. Each of them had their own methods of teaching. However, Mack was the most severe.

On their first day, he tested their corresponding knowledge by immediately letting them check a patient respectively.

It had been an hour of tension for her. Even now that she was already sitting in the lounge, she could still feel her hands sweating.

Apparently, she had to work harder to qualify as his apprentice.

Thus that night, when Lea sent her a video call request, she rejected it and immediately sent her an apology. After a short explanation on WeChat, she focused all her attention to her book.

When she arrived at the hospital on the second day, she was instantly waylaid by a nurse before she could even change into her white gown. "Dr. Rachel, a patient with heart disease is in the emergency room now, but Dr. Mack hasn't arrived yet."

Seeing the urgency on the nurse's expression, she nodded and said, "I'll go and check the patient."

A man was lying on a stretcher beside the aisle. With eyes slightly shut, his face looked bloodless. If it wasn't for the heartbeat monitor beside him, anyone would think that he was already dead.

Rachel immediately checked him and wrote some notes in his medical chart. She then asked the nurse, "Who brought the patient here?"

"He came here alone," answered the nurse. She then looked at the paper in her hand and continued, "I have to go now."

Rachel nodded. Besides, she didn't see any problem right now. All she needed to do was prepare for today's work. She was about to leave when she heard someone scream behind her, "Why are you in the hospital again?"

From his strong accent, she was certain that he was from Ninwell City.

When she turned around, she saw an old man trotting towards the man that she had just checked. He then added, "I'm scared to death by you."

This old man must be the patient's family member.

She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sir, don't worry too much. He is just sleeping now."

As she spoke, she had gotten a chance to see the old man's face clearly. He looked familiar to her.

The old man stood straight and opened his eyes wide. "Rachel? What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm sorry, sir. You are?"

She felt a little embarrassed about failing to remember him.

The old man smiled and introduced himself, "It's me, Andy. And this is Bill, the man you saved at a banquet before."

Rachel immediately remembered the two men, so she smiled awkwardly and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Andy. Please forgive my poor memory."

Andy looked around and saw a chair in the corner. He took it and put it behind Rachel. "Rachel, please have a seat. By the way, why are you here?"

Since she was on duty, she couldn't just sit and chat with him, so she put the chair in front of him, and said politely, "Thank you, but I have some tasks to do now.

I came here yesterday to be an intern."

As soon as she finished her words, she heard someone calling her name. She looked at her watch. It was almost time for Mack to arrive. "I have to go now. I'll come back later to check on Bill."

Andy nodded with a smile and watched her left.

Although he and Bill had been living abroad, they were updated about the news in Ninwell City. They had heard what happened between Rachel and Jack.

But he didn't expect to see her here.

In the office, Rachel suddenly felt her nose itchy. After sneezing three times successively, she felt a little better.

Mack took a tissue and handed it to her. "Do you have colds?"

"Thank you. My nose just feels a little uncomfortable."

"Alright. Since you have already checked this patient, what do we do next?" He took a step backward and signaled for her to move forward.

She had reviewed the patient's record last night, so she answered quickly and confidently. He praised her answers, and it made her feel happy. Her second day ended pretty well.

After her work, she went back to the emergency room to check on Bill, but his bed was already empty. She went to the nurse station to ask, and she was told that he had already transferred to his ward.

She knocked on the door and entered. Andy was peeling an apple while Bill was lying in the bed. He was already awake and looked a lot better now.

When Andy noticed her, he immediately put down the knife and greeted her, "Rachel, you're here."

He then offered the peeled apple to her.

She refused politely, "I'm not hungry. Please slice some for Bill."

"Don't be so formal with me, Rachel." He took her hand and placed the apple on her palm.

Then he turned to Bill and said, "You should also thank her."

She waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me. I am just doing my job. But Bill, why did you suddenly faint?"

With hands on his sides, Bill tried to sit up.

This simple movement seemed to be difficult for him, as his breathing became heavier. But still, he tried to explain, "I got up too early in the morning, and I couldn't go back to sleep anymore, so I decided to jog outside. I didn't expect that I would suddenly faint."

As he talked, his voice sounded weaker and weaker.

This time, it was her time to explain. "It's actually a symptom of hypoglycemia. I checked your blood test result earlier, and it showed that your glucose is a bit low."

"Then what should we do?" Andy asked with a frown. A worried expression was written all over his face.

There were many causes of hypoglycemia, so she couldn't explain it to him now. To ease his worries, she replied n a low voice, "Don't worry. He will get better after a few days."

Andy heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm glad to hear that."

He felt much relieved after hearing what she said. With a smile on his face, he added, "We're lucky that every time something happens to Bill, you are always the one who helps him. What a fate!"
