"Ready for prep, I'm going now," Ji Chuan said.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Chuan temporarily pulled his thoughts back and got up to leave.
As Commander Qiu was having surgery, the director personally came to arrange it. When Ji Chuan emerged, he repeatedly reminded, "The surgery isn't major, but you must be very careful. Try not to have any postoperative complications."
"I understand." The director was referring to the risk of affecting the vocal cords post-operation, and Ji Chuan would do his utmost best to prevent that from happening.
"Hurry up and prepare for the surgery." The director patted Ji Chuan on the shoulder.
Ji Chuan changed into sterile clothes and was doing pre-surgery preparations when he heard someone outside the operating room calling his name: "Ji Chuan! Dr. Ji!"
He listened closely and recognized it was Qiu Xinyi, so he remained silent without responding.
"Director Ji, someone's calling from outside..." his assistant reminded him.
