On the first day of her internship, Ada ran into a naked man in the shower, who she soon realized was the director of the thoracic surgery department--the man who would decide her internship score. Just as she thought that her luck couldn't get any worse, he appeared before her for the blind date her mother had set up for her. And before she could even snap out of the shock, he and her mother agreed upon the engagement date. He was now not only her director but also her fiance.
A City's medical university was well-known and only the best were handpicked to attend here. However, even their sophisticated system could not see through this one mistake, and one wrong judgment led to the admission of the worst student in the history of the university.
Ada Ning was that mistake. In the past four years, she had ended up with countless missed subjects and had to take make-up tests, and often, she was the only student in the make-up examination venue. Her teacher continuously warned that if she didn't pass the exams, she wouldn't ever get the chance to practice. However, Ada Ning had different thoughts about this. She was happy for her classmates who were allocated to internships, and happier for herself since she didn't have to work as an intern anywhere.
But to her dismay, the teachers held three meetings to solve this problem and finally decided to send her to the military hospital as an intern on recommendation.
Ada Ning reached the military hospital in low spirits. "The director is in the dressing area of the operating room. Wait in there."
With her internship materials in hand, Ada Ning changed into slippers and stood at the door of the dressing room. A few minutes passed, but no one came out. Grunting impatiently, she barged in without knocking.
The room was filled with dense steam and the air was hot inside. After adjusting her vision, she saw the silhouette of a naked figure. She rubbed her eyes to see clearly.
"Uh... Do you know where I can find the director of the thoracic surgery department?" asked Ada Ning.
"Get out!" A roar came from within the steam. Ada Ning was taken aback and stepped back reflexively. 'Is this...a bathroom?' she wondered in shock.
'Shit!' Ada Ning cursed in her head, realizing that she had gone through the wrong door.
She quickly closed the door and covered her eyes. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
She stood outside the door and took a deep breath. 'Did I just run into a man in the shower?' She cursed her luck and waited.
A few moments later, the phone in her pocket vibrated. She picked it up with a sigh and said, "Hello?"
"Ada! If you don't come tonight, you will not be allowed into this house anymore. And Grandma said that if you don't get married soon, she will kill herself in front of your eyes!" Cora, Ada Ning's mother, was pruning flowers on the balcony of her house. As she finished speaking, a neatly cut flower fell into the basket in her hand.
Ada Ning grunted. One after the other, the bombs were dropping on her. She raised her head and said, "Are you talking about the blind date? Don't worry, I'll be there. But it's not my problem if he doesn't like me."
"If you dress up like last time, I will break your legs." Ada Ning shivered. She quickly found an excuse and hung up the phone.
She silently wondered if her day could get any worse.
After a while, a man in a white coat came out of the bathroom, his hair dripping wet.
Ada Ning pretended not to see him, sticking her face into the wall and whispering to herself, "Don't look this way! Don't look this way!"
"Dr. Nicole! Thank you for your hard work. You performed the bridge operation all night. Why don't you get some rest now?" a nurse asked, greeting the man.
'Dr. Nicole?' That was the director's name! Ada Ning stared dumbfounded at the wall. Quickly, she turned around and ran up to him. "Are you Dr. Nicole from the thoracic surgery department?"
He cast a glance at her with a slight frown.
"I'm Ada Ning, one of the interns from A Medical University. This is my resume. The doctor downstairs said that I could only start my internship after receiving your approval." She deliberately ignored what had happened earlier, jumping straight into business.
He looked through her resume, and his cold, hard face showed displeasure. He was told that he would be given an intern, but they never mentioned that she would be this unqualified. He threw the resume on the table beside him and said, "Go back. I won't take you."
Ada's legs trembled; she almost lost her balance. Was she being dismissed from the internship even before it started?
"Dr. Nicole, I won't be able to graduate if you fire me right now," she said in a low voice, her eyes on the floor.
Nicole Shen grew up in the army and was a military doctor. He couldn't stand hearing such a feeble voice. "Speak loudly!"
Ada's back straightened swiftly and she said in a loud voice, "Dr. Nicole, I can't go back yet. If I go back now, I won't be able to graduate. And if I don't graduate, I won't get a job. If I don't get a proper job, I can't make money. Then, I can't-"
"Shut up!" he interrupted her rambling.
"Yes, sir!" She rolled her eyes. Ada was not one to beg for favors. She said, "Just go ahead and stamp it for me so that I don't have to work as an intern here."
Nicole Shen hated her guts. Their eyes met and she was scared into silence.
"From now on, you will follow me wherever I go. If I think you are unqualified for this job, your internship score will be zero," he said in a firm tone with a natural sense of command. "Do you understand?"
"Yes," she said weakly.
"Louder!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ada figured it wouldn't be as easy to fool this man like she did her teachers at school. She would definitely end up living a miserable life if she got on his wrong side.
Nicole Shen took long strides, making rounds of the wards, and she followed right behind him. She listened to him talk to the attending doctors, and even waited outside patiently when he went to the bathroom.
"This new intern must be quite good. Dr. Nicole is taking her wherever he goes."
"That's true. He has never accepted any intern before, let alone a female doctor. We have female nurses, but all doctors are males on this floor."
Ada frowned and turned to the nurses who were gossiping. "There aren't any female doctors here? Why?"
The nurses looked at each other, tacitly chose to be silent, and then hurried away.
Ada was confused. Did she frighten them away? 'No way! I may not be beautiful, but I'm not ugly either!' Just as she was doubting her appearance, a noise from the ward attracted her attention.
The doctors and a patient's family were having a quarrel. It was none of her business, so she waited for Nicole Shen there.
