In order to treat the young man’s perianal abscess, just the drainage and debridement alone gave Li Jingsheng and Meng Luo a headache.
The follow-up medication and infusion were equally painstaking for Li Jingsheng.
It was difficult to control the infection, the pus was drained, and it seemed that as long as the treatment proceeded as usual, recovery would soon follow.
Why did the patient suddenly stop coming?
Tang Ping walked over after finishing the phone call.
"Boss, I just called Xie Junjie, and he will come over soon for the infusion."
"Mm, we should have a good talk with him when he comes. How can one be so careless in treating an illness?"
Li Jingsheng felt slightly relieved hearing that the patient would come over soon.
"He said he didn’t come yesterday because his brother was arrested. He’s been busy dealing with his brother’s issues over the past couple of days, so he didn’t come."
"What happened? His brother seemed fine when he came to sign the paperwork a few days ago! And when I talked to him, he sounded quite upstanding. How did he suddenly get arrested?"
The only thing Li Jingsheng could think of was the risk of working as a security guard at a hotel.
He might have gotten into a conflict with a guest, leading to a fight, and that’s why he got arrested.
"He didn’t go into details, and I’m not in a position to ask more. I’ll find an opportunity to ask when he comes later." Tang Ping chuckled, wondering when did her boss become so gossip-prone?
In the past, the boss never meddled in other people’s business.
While they were chatting, a young beauty dressed in sky-blue jeans and a flannel shirt walked in, wearing Anta sneakers. Her ponytail made her look full of youthful energy.
"Boss Li, I’ve come to collect something."
The girl smiled and sat directly in front of him.
She nodded and smiled familiarly at Tang Ping, as a greeting.
"Collect something? Collect what?"
Li Jingsheng looked confused.
"Pure herbal skin-care tea! See? I’ve been staying up late writing articles, and two hateful spots and pimples suddenly popped up, even the foundation cream can’t cover them. You promised last time to treat me to skin-care tea, so where’s the tea?"
Chu Yao pointed to the two pimples on her forehead and the faint spots developing on her left cheek.
She was quite familiar with Li Jingsheng now.
She came without any formalities.
It seemed she had never been formal with him since the first day she met Li Jingsheng.
In the past, Li Jingsheng guarded against her like a thief, and she wasn’t this familiar. Now she’s completely at ease as if she were home.
"Chu Yao, have a glass of water!"
