A few minutes later, the same nurse who had just left Dr. Yuanyun's office walked back in again, looking a little uneasy.
He looked up from his desk, eyebrows lifting. "Any problem, Nurse Wang Ni? You were just here a moment ago."
She smiled politely. "Dr. Yuanyun, Dr. Chen asked me to tell you that he won't be attending the class today with the internship students. He said you should take over the session and make sure they practice the moxibustion treatment properly."
Yuanyun blinked, a little surprised. "Alright. But… why would Dr. Chen tell you to deliver the message instead of calling me directly?"
"Well," she said, adjusting her glasses, "according to him, he tried calling you several times, but you didn't pick up. He guessed you were busy or not near your phone, so he called me and asked me to pass the message."
Her words made Yuanyun quickly reach for his phone. Sure enough, five missed calls from Dr. Chen flashed across the screen. He sighed and rubbed his forehead.
