False Court
Chapter 516 An Old Friend
...
Just as the two were chatting, the door to the ward opened, and several young female doctors in full protective suits pushed in a trolley with medicine and meals on it.
"Sir, it's time to eat."
One of the female doctors said.
"Great, I can finally have a hot meal."
Wittaker was very happy. He hadn't been able to get full even on nutrition bars lately.
Su Mo inadvertently glanced at another female doctor, and when he saw her eyes, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
When the female doctor saw Su Mo looking at her, a hint of unease appeared in her eyes.
Although Su Mo was a little puzzled, he didn't say anything.
Soon, the doctors placed two meals in front of Su Mo and Wittaker. Wittaker's meal was a high-grade standard meal, including pollution-free potatoes, beef, milk, ham, and a hamburger.
Su Mo's meal consisted of duck soup, fragrant rice, peeled boiled shrimp, braised mutton, and stir-fried vegetables.
Then the doctors began to hang IV drips for Su Mo and Wittaker.
When giving the injection, the female doctor in front of Su Mo was extremely careful, afraid of hurting him.
On the other hand, Wittaker's was done in one go.
Wittaker looked at his food and then at Su Mo's, and was a little puzzled.
"Su Mo, why does your food look and smell better?"
"Maybe it's just different dietary habits."
Su Mo said calmly.
"Really? Doctor, can I have his kind next time?"
Wittaker asked.
"Sir, we can't decide that. It's all arranged accordingly."
The female doctor in charge of Wittaker replied with a smile.
"Oh."
Wittaker didn't really care.
Soon, the two female doctors finished and left.
The next day, Su Mo and Wittaker lay in bed, quietly recuperating.
Knock, knock, a knock on the ward door sounded.
"Come in."
Wittaker shouted.
The door was pushed open, and two female doctors came in again. They were pushing a trolley with various things on it, including a vase with white gardenias in it.
The female doctor in charge of Su Mo placed the vase with flowers on Su Mo's bedside table.
Wittaker frowned, with a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help muttering.
"There's no reason, how come Su Mo's treatment is better than mine?"
However, Wittaker couldn't bring himself to ask, as it would make him seem petty, as if he couldn't stand seeing others doing well.
Then, the female doctor in charge of Su Mo began to routinely change Su Mo's dressing, and it was done in no time.
As she was about to leave, Su Mo suddenly smiled and called out, "Lan Xi."
The female doctor in front of him was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Su Mo, and said a little nervously, "Su, Su Mo."
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence to meet you here."
"Yes, what a coincidence."
Lan Xi's slightly flustered heart immediately returned to normal.
Su Mo looked at Lan Xi and was also a little touched. He didn't expect to see her here. Of course, Su Mo knew more or less that Lan Xi used to have some feelings for him, but those were things of the past. He chatted with Lan Xi in a relaxed tone between friends.
"Strange, how did you become a doctor?"
Seeing that Su Mo was not distant at all and still treated her as a friend, Lan Xi felt a warmth in her heart.
She sat down and chatted with Su Mo, "I used to study medicine."
"Oh, you studied medicine? That's right, I was wondering why you dissected prey so cleanly, without any fear. And when we were classifying genetic agents, you seemed very skilled, so you studied medicine."
"Yes."
Lan Xi nodded in response.
"Then why didn't you look for some doctor-related jobs, the benefits are also better."
Su Mo asked with some doubts.
Lan Xi said with a bit of self-deprecation, "It's not that easy to find a doctor's job, you need connections and contacts. I applied several times, but didn't pass, so I could only do those assigned jobs."
"That's true, but why did you choose to join the army and get on the ship?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"It's like this, after joining the army, the Federation provides special benefits, so my mother can enjoy type I genetic agent injections. And she can also get specific preferential medical services from the Federation, and even receive free advanced studies and training in the medical field."
Lan Xi's mood was very good as she said this.
"I see, that's good."
Su Mo nodded in response. (No J丶SayOne2Three)
"Don't just talk about me, why did you get on the ship, and even joined the GT department? I remember you used to be most afraid of trouble. You don't know, when I saw your name, I was shocked, and thought it was someone with the same name."
Lan Xi chatted with Su Mo in a very good mood.
"Um, this is a bit difficult to explain, it's just that I was bored and got on the ship in a daze, and then joined the GT department."
Su Mo explained awkwardly.
Lan Xi chuckled, "Okay, I won't ask you."
"By the way, how much longer do I have to stay in the hospital?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"Don't worry about this, you have to stay here for a few more days. But I've seen your injuries, and basically there won't be any problems, you're recovering very quickly, but don't think about being discharged early. Because your hospitalization has another meaning, which is quarantine observation."
Lan Xi explained with a smile.
"Okay."
Su Mo replied helplessly.
"I still have wards to inspect on the other side, I'll go inspect them first, and come back to see you later. If you need anything these days, you can tell me, I'll take special care of you."
Lan Xi said easily, as if a knot in her heart had been untied.
"Okay, then I won't be polite, also, the food you make is pretty good."
"Okay, goodbye."
Lan Xi left happily.
At this time, Wittaker turned to look at Su Mo, and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, you're something else, you can even have a girl fancy you."
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, normally no doctor would take care of people like this. I just feel strange, the meals and treatment are completely not on the same level, admire!"
Wittaker joked.
"That's not the case, it's just a coincidence that I ran into an old friend."
Su Mo became more and more embarrassed. He didn't know how to explain, the more he explained, the worse it would get.
"No, no, I'm not talking nonsense, I feel like you have good luck with women. When we were on the planetary fortress, Karinsha and Qian Chengxue believed in you so much, and that Princess Garan of the Hongji Empire, only communicated and trusted you. Don't tell me it's a coincidence, in this day and age, being handsome is indeed an advantage."
