Chapter 28 Let's Go Have Lunch
Sarah really couldn't hide her surprised expression. Her face seemed to say what is Steve doing here?
While Steve just smirked, Sarah's expression looked really funny.
"Doctor Steve!" called Sam, telling the man to walk over to him.
Steve immediately adjusted his facial expression to a professional face and then gave Sam a report on the patient's status and condition.
Sam nodded when he heard this, then proceeded to explain about Mr Collins' illness and suggest surgery as soon as possible.
Sarah still looked confused, she was really confused to see Steve who was here.
However, she tried to look focused and heard an explanation from Sam who was currently explaining the advantages and risks of the surgery they were about to perform.
Sarah listened carefully to Sam's explanation, and occasionally explained to Mr. Collins that Sam was one of the best neurosurgeons in the hospital.
"In that case, the operation will be carried out in the next two weeks. Before the operation, the patient must be prepared in advance," said Sam ending his explanation.
Sarah nodded once again.
"Doctor Steve, please treat this patient before the operation is performed. Oh right, Doctor Steve is a resident doctor in his fifth year," said Sam introducing Steve to Mr. Collins.
"Seems like you know Sarah?" asked Mr Collins curiously.
He could see Sarah was very surprised when she saw the blonde haired man.
"Ah yes, Doctor Sarah is my college friend," Steve replied smiling and then glanced at Sarah.
"Ahh… I see. So you guys are old friends," replied Mr. Collins, smiling with relief.

"Hey!"
Sarah, who had just come out of Mr Collins' room, was immediately startled when she suddenly heard a man's voice.
She immediately turned around and saw Steve leaning against the wall near the bedroom door.
"Finally you're out. You don't know how long I waited for you," Steve said in a feigned grumbling tone.
After checking Mr Collins, Steve did come straight out of the room, but he didn't go and wait for Sarah outside.
"What are you doing here? Were you waiting for me?" asked Sarah, surprised. There was about 30 minutes of her accompanying Mr Collins inside once Steve came out.
The man was waiting for her all this time?
"Yeah, I'm hungry but don't know where the cafeteria is, shouldn't you take me there so I don't get lost?" Steve asked, then immediately turned around and started walking towards the VIP ward exit.
Sarah snorted when she heard that.
"Are you a child?" Sarah asked sarcastically and started following Steve.
"Whatever. Let's go have lunch. You don't know how long I waited for you. In exchange you make me wait, you should treat me, okay?" said Steve who suddenly turned around and started walking backwards to look at Sarah with a smirk.
"What? You have a lot of money from me and you ask me to treat you?" Sarah asked, rolling her eyes.
"What do you mean? I'm just a resident, unlike you who have already completed your residency," Steve replied pretending to be sad then turned his body.
"My friend has become a doctor, but she won't even treat her friend who is still a resident."
Sarah snorted when she heard that, she knew Steve was just joking with her, but for some reason it annoyed her a little. She then immediately raised her hand and slapped Steve firmly on the back.
"Ah!" Steve screamed, not at all expecting Sarah to hit him.
"Is that how a resident talks with a surgeon? You even look weak. Come on! I'll treat you to lunch!" said Sarah with a fierce expression on her face. She even deliberately used the same tone of voice when she scolded a resident.
Steve just smiled when he heard that and started walking after Sarah.
A few minutes later, Sarah and Steve had arrived at the hospital cafeteria. The atmosphere was a little bustling with a few nurses and doctors because it was lunch time, but luckily they still got a free spot.
"You did treat me… but… a sandwich?" Steve said when he saw the food Sarah had placed on the table.
"Haven't I said that before? The sandwiches here are delicious! You have to try it!" Sarah said then immediately took one of the sandwiches and ate it.
A small moan escaped Sarah's lips as the sandwich finally met her taste buds.
It was really delicious!
Steve smiled when he saw Sarah's behavior which had not changed at all. That woman still loves sandwiches!
Steve finally took one piece and ate it.
"Delicious, right?" Sarah said with a smile when she saw the surprised look on Steve's face.
"Yeah, better than what we ate that time," Steve said with a smile and started to enjoy the sandwich.
"Oh yeah, what are you doing here?" asked Sarah curiously. Ever since seeing Steve, she'd wanted to ask that question, but she didn't have the chance.
"Like Doctor Sam said, I'm a resident here."
Sarah's eyes widened when she heard that.
"You decided to transfer your residency program here?" asked Sarah, who unconsciously stood up from her seat in shock.
p
Well… he would still be able to continue his residency, but still he was in a new place of work, and in a new atmosphere.
He's not an intern, nor is he a doctor, still a resident, people's opinions won't be very good.
"Yeah, my father always asked me to move here, but I kept refusing," Steve replied casually.
Sarah sat back in her chair and nodded. Steve's father was a professor at this hospital and had become one of the most influential doctors, so Steve could easily have moved here.
"But why did you suddenly move here in your fifth year? You can come here when you're already a neurosurgeon," asked Sarah who still couldn't understand why Steve would do that when only two years of his residency were over.
Steve didn't answer right away. He stared at Sarah intently, causing Sarah to raise her eyebrows, confused as to why she was being stared at like that.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sarah asked.
"It's a secret!" Steve replied with a smirk and then went back to eating his sandwich.
Sarah snorted in annoyance when she heard that, her friend was really annoying!
"It's been years but she hasn't changed at all! Of course I came here because of you, idiot!" thought Steve who couldn't stop smiling looking at Sarah who looked very annoyed.
"Anyway, stop talking about me. How about you?" Steve asked, suddenly changing the subject.
