she hadn’t crashed into this fancy car when she walked over with her head down. Otherwise, all the money she had made this entire year probably could not cover the damage costs.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she could feel the warmth inside her clinic. She had been at Zhang Zian's place for only a short time, but she was frozen.
Behind the cashier, Long Xian was standing there awkwardly, and her face was wrinkled because of her anxiety.
A middle-aged man was standing in front of her and scolding her relentlessly.
On the long bench of the waiting area, a fully-grown Husky was lying there. Hearing Sun Xiaomeng come in the clinic, it raised its head and whimpered painfully.
Long Xian felt relieved to see Sun Xiaomeng back to the clinic.
"Sister Xiaomeng! You’re back!" Her eyes were filled with tears like her life had just been saved.
The middle-aged man turned around, stared at Sun Xiaomeng and said bluntly, "So you are the veterinarian here."
"Yes, I am. What happened?"
She took off her coat, hung it on a hook, picked her white gown and put it on. Her whole temperament had changed—she had returned to being a professional lady that appeared capable and experienced.
She quickly sized up the middle-aged man in front of her. He looked sloppy with a moustache on his face. He was wearing an old flying jacket and a wrinkled pair of casual khaki pants. Sun Xiaomeng felt relieved and thought he probably wasn’t the owner of the Tesla car outside; it must belong to some silver-spooned kid.
Confronted by Sun Xiaomeng, the middle-aged man sounded less aggressive, but he still said indignantly, "You should teach your nurse how to talk. She said my dogleg had a fracture. Wasn’t she cursing me?"
Long Xian said in a low voice with grievance, "That was a mistake. I was nervous."
Sun Xiaomeng tried to pacify his anger, "Don't be angry. She's just young and doesn't know what to say when she is nervous. Please don't mind her, let's check on the injuries of your dog, all right?"
Jin Er still felt very angry. Why did these coincidences keep occurring where people said his "dogleg" instead of "the leg of his dog".
Snowy had done that before, and now this new nurse had too. He believed the coincidences happened after he raised this Husky.
He suppressed his anger and brought Sun Xiaomeng beside his Husky and pointed to its front left leg, "You see that? It’s been hobbling, and every time it puts its left leg on the ground, it shrinks back as if in pain. Is it fractured?"
"I need to have an examination, help me hold it still."
Jin Er argued like he was insulted, "It doesn't bite."
"I know. Help me hold it still, or you can go visit another clinic," said Sun Xiaomeng cautiously. Faced with a middle-to-large-sized dog that was injured with no anesthesia, everyone should be more careful. Even if it was a Husky that seemed like it wouldn't hurt anyone, under extreme pain, it would start to bite hard.
Dog owners often claimed that their dogs didn’t bite. However, dogs would bite when they were in pain, no matter how well-behaved they were normally.
Jin Er wanted to grab his dog and walk away from the clinic, but his dog seemed to be really in pain. He could only listen to her order and held its body still.
Sun Xiaomeng wore a pair of disposable rubber gloves and touched the dog’s leg very gently. Even so, when her finger touched the muscle on the Husky’s leg, it still felt so painful to it that it whimpered. It turned around and looked at her, but didn’t struggle. Through palpation, she could tell that the wound was swelling, but didn't seem like a severe injury.
"Probably not a fracture, but a fissure fracture," she concluded and said. "If you are still worried, you’ll need to take it for an x-ray image. Since I don't have an x-ray machine here, you need to go to a large hospital for pets."
