He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 124

Besides, perhaps the local men had run out of wild imaginations lately, because the ward had plenty of empty beds.

Staying here wouldn't take up critical medical resources meant for other patients. It was smooth and perfectly discreet.

Lana, however, was on the verge of tears. "But Dr. Somerset, everyone is going to misunderstand you!"

"Misunderstand what?"

"They're going to think..." Lana leaned in close and whispered, "They'll think you have hemorrhoids!"

Seraphina let out a short laugh. "Is there a single doctor in this hospital who doesn't?"

Lana pouted.

The surgeons stood for hours at a time during operations.

The internal medicine doctors had it just as bad, sitting all day reviewing hundreds of lab results, ultrasounds, and CT scans.

The obstetrics and pediatrics staff barely had a moment to breathe; they were constantly on their feet, logging thirty thousand steps a day without even a spare second to use the restroom.

Lana thought about it for a second and quickly rationalized it to herself. "You're right! Hemorrhoids aren't a mistake; they're our badges of honor!"

Originally, Seraphina had considered the urology department.

It was pretty quiet over there too these days.

But the patients were almost entirely male, so after a moment of hesitation, she scrapped the idea.

As a doctor, she didn't care—medicine has no gender—but she had to consider how awkward it would be for the patients.

So, after crossing everything else off the list, she ended up in proctology.

After Lana mentally adjusted to the situation, she brightened up. "Don't worry, Dr. Somerset. I've already briefed the nurses at the front desk. If anyone asks which room Seraphina Somerset is in, they'll just say you've already been discharged."

Seraphina nodded.

Her little scheme worked flawlessly. For a whole week, she lived in absolute peace. Pierce didn't show up to bother her once.
