In the original plot, Stark's surgery was very smooth and successful, and there were no accidents.

And now?

The doctor who was in charge of the surgery changed to Strange, who had stronger physical strength and skills; he had the medicine provided by Shi Xiaolei as a guarantee; Zhao Hailun, who participated in the surgery, held a cell regeneration technology with an outrageous effect and would eventually develop into the "cradle of life"; the sign monitoring provided by Jarvis, who was far more meticulous than that provided by humans... It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to fail the operation.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Stark was pushed into the operating room, and the operation ended successfully at around twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Jarvis was in charge of the control, and the nurses followed and took care of each other. After a while, Stark was sent to the observation ward prepared in advance.

Pepper, who had already changed into sterile clothes, couldn't wait to arrive by the hospital bed.

Holding Stark's hand in both hands, staring at the face that was still in a coma before he stepped back. Pepper breathed a sigh of relief.

"Doctor Strange, the result of the operation..."

"Everything goes well." Strange showed a proud look on his face, and he took out a small glass bottle from his pocket: "Here, the shrapnel taken out are here, you can keep it for him and serve as a souvenir."

It’s not that I don’t believe Strange’s words, but that I’m too concerned and can’t help but want to verify it a few more times. After taking the small glass bottle, Pepper turned his attention to Wu Changgeng, Zhao Hailun and others.

"Doctor Strange has very good skills." As a helper, Wu Changgeng is the person with the most say outside Strange.

Meeting Pepper's gaze, he first gave a smile, and then gave Strange a thumbs up: "Doctor Strange is so powerful in surgery... much better than when I was young. To be honest, I was surprised and admired."

"That's right, in terms of surgery, I'm the number one in the United States."

Like Tony Stark before something happened, Strange, who has not yet suffered a severe blow in life, also has a stinky and arrogant personality.

After learning how to get along with narcissist from Stark, Pepper responded very well. She smiled at Strange with gratitude, and said in a warm tone without any rude way: "Thank you, Dr. Strange. Stark and I both think finding you is the most correct choice."

"You get what you pay for. Since you have paid a lot of money, of course I have to give the best response to ensure that you are satisfied."

"Thanks."

Not only did he express his gratitude, but he also made a lot of preparations in the actual sense of thanks.

Of course, those are all insignificant trivial matters, so I won’t go into details here.

In short, confirming that Stark had successfully overcome this disaster, Pepper finally let go of his uneasiness.

During the observation period, I thanked and hosted several doctors; I was more attentive than the nurse, and personally took care of Stark who had just finished the operation; I remotely controlled the affairs in the company to ensure that Stark Group could operate normally... Even if several things were piled up together, it would be difficult to turn from a weak woman who was indifferent to a strong woman's little pepper.

As it turns out, Xiao Chili's efforts are really effective.

In just two or three days, Stark had already passed the postoperative weakness. Although his movements were restricted because the big hole in his chest had not been completely healed, he could not walk freely like usual, and he could not put on armor and fly around the world, his mental state had returned to his usual level.

Now, while Pepper was going to the bathroom, Stark, who was sitting in an electric wheelchair, sneaked to the coffee machine and ordered Jarvis to keep it secret while making a cup of coffee for himself.

"Suck, ha~~." After taking a sip, Stark unconsciously showed his intoxicated expression: "It's this smell, I miss me so much~."

I took a sip and thought about the second sip, but accidentally forgot the reminder I had before.

"Tony~~!"

"Uh." Stark finally realized when he heard Pepper's angrily scolding.

Turning back embarrassedly, looking at Pepper standing at the door with his hands on his hips, Stark twitched the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and squeezed out an extremely stiff smile: "Peper, I..."

"Put down the cup first."

"Oh." Yiyi reluctantly put the cup on the table. Stark touched his nose angrily: "I took a sip, really, just a small sip, at most a few milliliters."

"Not a few milliliters." Picking up the cup on the table and throwing it into the trash can without hesitation. Pepper frowned and scolded Stark like an old mother: "Don't you know what your physical condition is? I said that all irritating drinks and food cannot be eaten. Your cup contains at least 100 mg of caffeine..."

"...that's my favorite cup." He muttered, and found that Pepper's eyebrows were standing up. Stark quickly shut up and raised his hand: "Okay okay, I promise, there's no next time."

"…." Staring at Stark for a few seconds, Pepper suddenly raised his head: "Jarvis, are you here?"

"I'm here, Miss Pepper, what are your instructions?"

"Why didn't I stop him or remind me?"

"Because the sir gave me an order."

"Hey, Jarvis, are you betraying me?"

"For your health, I think it is necessary to confess to Miss Pepper." There was no fluctuation in his tone, but it sounded like Jarvis's words were a bit naughty.

"Very good." Pepper nodded and turned his eyes to Stark's face again: "Tony, now I want you to give Jarvis a command. As for the content, I shouldn't have to teach you, right?"

"I protest~! I ask for privacy~!"

"The protest is invalid, rejected." Pepper stopped in and stared at Stark with his hands in his chest: "Hurry up, don't be too slow."

What else can I do? Stark was forced to helplessly and could only give Jarvis an order to help Pepper monitor his actions.

I know that this is for my own good, but to be honest, it still makes Stark a little depressed to lose his autonomy completely.

Like a child in anger, Stark deliberately closed his mouth, intending to express his dissatisfaction to Pepper without saying anything or making a fuss.

Looking at Stark like this, Pepper was both angry and funny.

Just as he was about to nag a few more words, Jarvis suddenly gave a reminder: "Sir, Miss Pepper, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. Mr. Locke is here and knocks downstairs."

"Locke? I understand." Responsible for Stark, Pepper ordered: "Jarvis, let him come here directly."

"OK."

Soon, Shi Xiaolei appeared at the door of the room at the prompt from Jarvis.

"Tony, how do you feel? Is it better than yesterday?" He put the small flower basket he had called to order on the table. Shi Xiaolei nodded at Pepper while asking Stark: "Hello, Pepper."

"Man, you're here..."
