Chapter 474: A Bit More Admiration
Once again, only the four doctors were left in the cubicle.
Olivia turned to look at the little ones and said gently, “Children, you see, getting treated isn’t scary at all, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlie, who had just been treated by Olivia, immediately raised his hands and shouted, “Yes! It didn’t hurt at all! I feel much better now!”
The little girl had initially been resistant to treatment, but seeing Olivia’s attitude towards them and hearing Charlie’s words, she gradually began to trust her. She nodded vigorously, “It’s not scary at all. We shouldn’t have hidden from you.”
The little ones all echoed in agreement.
Seeing this, Olivia felt a wave of tenderness in her heart. She bent down and patted their heads. “Good, it’s great that you’re not afraid anymore. Trust us, you’ll all grow up healthy and strong.”
The little ones nodded obediently.
“Who’s next?” Olivia stood up and pointed to the hospital bed, asking the children.
Soon, a little boy stepped out from the crowd and climbed onto the bed voluntarily.
It was the same little boy who had been crying non-stop while Dennis held his arm earlier.
Seeing him, Dennis’s expression grew even more unpleasant.
Olivia smiled affectionately at the little boy, coaxing him to lie down while she took his pulse and began the examination.
The remaining children still gathered around her, as if the other three doctors didn’t exist.
Harold found the situation both amusing and exasperating. He cleared his throat to remind them, “Children, we uncles can treat you too. Don’t be biased towards Auntie.”
Some children glanced over at him but quickly looked away again.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
It was clear that the little ones preferred Olivia.
Harold shook his head helplessly and looked at Cameron.
The four of them were responsible for this cubicle, and it wouldn’t be fair to let Olivia handle everything alone.
Moreover, with so many children, Olivia might not be able to finish treating them all by evening.
Cameron’s attention was entirely focused on Olivia.
His attitude towards her had shifted from initial skepticism to admiration, and now he felt a strange sense of respect.
He could see that Olivia was genuinely dedicated to this free clinic for the children. As a result, the children relied on her heavily. Some shy kids didn’t dare approach the other doctors, leading to a long queue forming in front of Olivia’s bed.
Despite having taken care of so many patients in one go, Olivia showed no signs of impatience. On the contrary, she had just stopped Dennis’s incorrect procedure in time under such circumstances.
Her patience with the children remained unwavering.
Such qualities were truly commendable in a young doctor.
On the other hand, Dennis was still fuming over what had happened earlier and was itching to find fault with Olivia. He wished all the children would go to her so he could watch her struggle, caring less about whether they could finish the free clinic today.
Seeing that both of their attentions were on Olivia, Harold sighed helplessly. He waited patiently until Olivia finished treating Simon and then spoke warmly, “Olivia, could you help us attract some patients too? Look at how empty it is over here. People might think we’re just here for an inspection. At this rate, who knows if we can complete today’s plan.”
