The sun was already starting to get low in the sky by the time they were done disinfecting the bandages and hanging them to dry.

“I didn’t have a chance to do anything...”

The time had vanished partly to the quantity of laundry, but also to cooking potatoes. As the three of them were enjoying their snack, a parade of other physicians had appeared to request some for themselves.

Wish I could mix up some medicine, Maomao thought. As long as she was in the medical office, she wanted to experiment. Unfortunately, as soon as it got dark, the ladies would be sent home. Not to mention that once the bandages were anywhere near dry they had to be brought inside, lest they frost during the night.

Maomao looked at the white coats drying along one edge of the laundry area. There was one fewer than earlier—somebody must have come to collect his garments. Would it have killed him to take in the rest with him? she thought.

She checked the linings of the coats, curious to see whose jackets were still there. She found Dr. Liu’s coat. That wasn’t so surprising—but the names on the other jackets made her stop and think.

He did say something about surgery, right? A major surgery would require a large team of doctors—but why was Dr. Liu the only experienced physician among the entire group? All the other names on all the other jackets belonged, as best Maomao could recall, to the apprentice physicians.

“Don’t tell me...”

Could the doctors have been doing a dissection? The apprentices had begun to settle into the work; it would be reasonable for them to take the next step.

If that was what they were doing, Maomao absolutely had to be a part of it. Any chance my old man got in touch with Dr. Liu? With some trepidation, Maomao took the white jackets back to the medical office.

Tianyu was the only one there. He was ironing his jacket, which he had collected. Couldn’t be bothered to do anyone else’s? Maomao thought, but took care that her vitriol didn’t escape her mouth. Instead she said, “I’ll leave these here.”

“Sure. Right,” replied Tianyu, who looked just as tired ironing as he had walking by earlier. He might not be enthusiastic about ironing, but Dr. Liu would chew him out if his uniform was wrinkled, and it was probably more convenient to use the iron here than to get one going at home.

He didn’t so much as look at Maomao—was he concentrating that hard, or did he just not care enough to look up? Either way, it didn’t bother Maomao, who put Dr. Liu’s jacket by his desk. It was still a bit damp, but there was nothing she could do about that.

Hm?

On the desk was the daily report he had been writing. Maomao picked it up and paged through it. Nothing incriminating. Then, however, she looked back over the entries for the past several days.

There are none...

If she was to take Dr. Liu’s words at face value, a surgery had taken place, one that had required the attention of a veritable crowd of doctors.
