"Miss Qu, I have seen your past cases and just examined you... Your physical condition is indeed not optimistic, but among the patients I have cured in the past, you are not the worst..."
When Dr. Abel said these words to Qu Ranran, Qu Ranran's face, which was slightly pale due to discomfort after the examination, couldn't help but smile with surprise, and asked excitedly, "Doctor, what do you mean by that?
There's a chance I'll be cured, right?"
Dr. Abel smiled and nodded, "Although I cannot guarantee that the operation will be 100% successful, I never want to add another failure to my career as a doctor when I am about to retire."
Abel's implication is that he will do his best.
When Qu Ranran heard the doctor say such words, she was so happy that she almost cried and kept spitting out, "Thank you, doctor, thank you..."
Dr. Abel said, "You should follow the nurse to prepare. If there are no problems, we can perform the operation in half an hour."
"good."
…
When Qu Ranran followed the nurse out of the examination room, her eyes were already moist.
Qiao Che, who had been waiting outside the examination room, walked towards her. Seeing the water in Qu Ranran's eyes, Qiao Che asked nervously, "What's wrong? The examination is very uncomfortable?"
It is usually unbearable and uncomfortable for women to undergo such examinations.
Qu Ranran didn't say anything, just looked at Qiao Che, tears constantly falling from his eyes.
Qiao Che scolded the nurse beside Qu Ranran, "Didn't I tell you to be gentler?"
The nurse lowered her head innocently and whispered, "Dr. Qiao, I have been very cautious."
"you……"
What Qiao Che was about to say was interrupted by Qu Ranran's sudden tears that turned into laughter.
Qiao Che looked at Qu Ranran pretending to be confused, "Ranran..."
Qu Ranran suddenly grabbed Qiao Che's arm and said with excitement, "Dr. Qiao, do you know? Dr. Abel told me that my surgery has a high chance of success..."
Qiao Che's brows were also filled with joy, "Really?"
Qu Ranran nodded vigorously, "Well, well... you don't know how happy I am when I hear such news? In the past six months, every time the doctor examines me, all I can see is the doctor sitting on the computer
I shook my head at my physical condition in front of me. This is the only time I heard a doctor tell me that there is hope for my health..."
Qiao Che quickly pressed Qu Ranran into his arms, as if he was also infected by her mood, and said hoarsely, "Congratulations..."
Qu Ranran leaned into Qiao Che's arms. Because of the excitement in her heart, she didn't care about her actions with Qiao Che at the moment. She only regarded Qiao Che as a good friend and uttered hoarsely, "I have been really scared for the past six months.
I'm afraid I will live with such a mutilated body for the rest of my life..."
Qiao Che patted Qu Ranran's back that was shaking from crying, and comforted her softly, "I promised you that nothing will happen to you."
Qu Ranran slowly withdrew from Qiao Che's arms and spat out apologetically, "Dr. Qiao, thank you, thank you for your willingness to spare no effort to help me... I know that if it weren't for you, Dr. Abel wouldn't be possible.
Help me with the surgery..."
Yes, Mr. Abel is the number one legend in the international medical community.
Although he is close to retirement, he has never had an operation failure and has been internationally renowned for decades, and is regarded by countless people as a leading figure in the medical field.
In recent years, due to his age, he has rarely performed operations on patients. But surprisingly, even though he is old, the operations he performed are all successful cases without exception. Therefore, the whole world begs for help.
He still treats countless patients, but he is rarely willing to perform surgery on people. The outside world has widely spread rumors that he is an eccentric old man.
Qiao Che still had the usual faint smile on his handsome face, "Stop talking, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Qu Ranran was choked with sobs and could not speak. At this moment, all she felt in her heart was full of gratitude to Qiao Che.
…
While Qu Ranran was preparing for the operation, Abel and Qiao Che stood in the corridor of the hospital talking.
Qiao Che held Bel's shoulder and said gratefully, "Master, thank you for flying all the way from Italy to help me..."
Abel, who is white, has a naturally kind face. He complained like an old naughty boy, "You kid, you haven't flown to Italy to fish with me for so long..."
"I promise you, after I finish handling the matters at hand, I will go to Italy to accompany you."
Abel's old eyes narrowed into a thin line, "Will you take the girl inside with you?"
Qiao Che just smiled and said nothing.
Abel asked curiously, "Why don't you let her know that you performed the surgery on her?"
Qiao Che said directly, "Because I didn't plan to help her at the beginning."
Abel put on a puzzled expression, "Then now..."
Qiao Che raised the corners of his lips, "I'm in love with that girl."
Abel exclaimed, "That girl is so lucky... You know, today's 'Mr. Abel' doesn't easily help people perform surgeries!"
Who would have known that in recent years, the reason why the already old Mr. Abel can still shine in the medical field is because of Qiao Che.
That's right, the real Mr. Abel has long been unable to perform surgeries on patients due to his old age. In recent years, the internationally renowned and difficult surgeries Mr. Abel has performed that are talked about all come from
Qiao Che's scalpel.
It is rumored that Mr. Abel has become very strange. In fact, it is because Qiao Che is rarely willing to operate on patients, so the name "Mr. Abel" has gradually become unattainable.
Qiao Che patted the old man on the shoulder, "Okay, master, I'm going to prepare... As per the old rules, I only need a deputy."
"Um."
…
In the operating room, Qu Ranran was lying nervously on the hospital bed.
The nurse was about to anesthetize Qu Ranran. Seeing that Qu Ranran was very nervous, she couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss Qu, relax your body. It's difficult to operate if you are too nervous..."
Qu Ranran slowly relaxed her body, closed her eyes, and tried to think of something that made her happy...
After she was completely relaxed, a hot white light lit up above her head.
A dose of anesthetic injection was injected into Qu Ranran's body, and Qu Ranran gradually lost consciousness...
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
When Qu Ranran woke up from the hospital bed, it was already eight hours later.
Youyou opened her long eyelashes, and what caught Qu Ranran's sight before she was fully awake was the tired male figure sitting on the chair beside the bed.
It's Qiao Che.
He held his forehead and leaned against the back of the chair to take a nap.
Qu Ranran, who had just finished the operation, had a very dry throat. She called out hoarsely, "Qiao... Doctor Qiao..."
Qiao Che woke up as soon as he heard the noise, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Qu Ranran's hand, "Are you okay?"
Qu Ranran moved his legs slightly, "Well, the anesthesia should be over..."
Qiao Che said hurriedly, "I'll get you a glass of water."
Qu Ranran took Qiao Che's hand at the right time. She was still a little weak, but her white lips asked anxiously, "I... what was the result of my operation?"
Qiao Che directly gave Qu Ranran a positive answer, "Very good."
"very good?"
Qu Ranran seemed to be in disbelief.
Qiao Che gave her a confirming nod.
Qu Ranran looked at Qiao Che with her dazed eyes, "So, my operation was successful?"
"yes."
Qu Ranran struggled to sit up.
Qiao Che hurriedly supported Qu Ranran, "Don't get up, be careful of the wound on your abdomen..."
The pain made Qu Ranran frown. She tried hard to suppress her excitement. Qiao Che helped her slowly lie down on the hospital bed again. She opened her clear eyes and asked uncertainly again,
"Dr. Qiao, am I dreaming now?"
Qiao Che put Qu Ranran's hand into the quilt and said with a smile, "If I told you it was a dream, would you believe it?"
At this second, Qu Ranran suddenly took out the hand that Qiao Che had put under the quilt, and then bit hard on the back of the hand.
"ah!"
The pain made Qu Ranran cry out in pain, but what followed was her scream of joy. "It's true, it's true, I'm not dreaming..."
Qiao Che looked at the two rows of red tooth marks on the back of Qu Ranran's hand and couldn't help but laugh, "You really look like a child..."
Qu Ranran cried with joy for the second time today, and cried out, "Dr. Qiao, thank you, thank you..."
Qiao Che poured a glass of water and handed it to Qu Ranran, sat behind her, gently supported her body against his, and said with a chuckle, "Don't just be happy, drink some water first."
Qu Ranran leaned on Qiao Che and drank the entire glass of water in one breath.
Seeing Qu Ranran's thirsty appearance, Qiao Che asked with concern, "Do you want more?"
Qu Ranran shook his head and asked, "Where is Dr. Abel?"
"He is at the hotel, I will treat him to dinner later."
"It's afternoon now?"
"Yeah, six o'clock in the afternoon."
"It must be very hard for him to help me with the surgery."
"indeed."
For such a complicated and delicate operation, fatigue is inevitable.
Qu Ranran said angrily, "I didn't even have time to thank him..."
"Leave these things to me...you just need to lie down and have a good rest."
"No, I must thank him in person..."
"Fool, when you recover, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to thank him?"
"Well, Dr. Qiao, I can only ask you to convey my gratitude to Dr. Abel on my behalf, and also, the surgery fee..."
"You have so many things to worry about in your little head... Based on my relationship with Abel, he will not charge you for the surgery."
"But……"
"Don't worry, you have a good rest. You can't eat now. When your anesthesia is completely over, I will bring something for you to eat..."
…
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The next day.
Early in the morning, Qu Ranran leaned on the bed and drank soup in high spirits.
Although she had just undergone surgery, her wound was recovering well. As long as she did not touch the wound when sitting, she could basically bear the pain.
Qiao Che was sitting on the edge of the bed at the moment, watching her gobbling up the food, and couldn't help but joke, "It's rare to see you eating without caring about your image..."
She is well-educated and always eats with good temperament.
Qu Ranran drank the soup and spat out vaguely, "I didn't eat anything all day yesterday..."
Yes, when Qiao Che brought something for Qu Ranran to eat last night, Qu Ranran had already fallen asleep.
"I just think you're cute like this."
She has never been as happy as she is today since he came into contact with her.
Every time she smiled in front of him in the past, there was always a touch of sadness in her eyes. Although she tried hard to hide it, he could see it clearly. Only today, when she smiled
, light and moving, and the eyes are so clear that there is no shadowy impurity.
"Ran Ran..."
"Um?"
"I heard from the nurse that you have been asking her when you will be discharged from the hospital."
Qu Ranran put down the thermos bucket and nodded seriously, "I want to be discharged from the hospital immediately, but the nurse insists that I stay in the hospital to recuperate for another half month."
Qiao Che frowned slightly, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that your sister has already taken Sister Chen to City Y? What else do you have to worry about?"
Qu Ranran answered truthfully, "I just don't like staying in the hospital."
The hospital brought her too many bad memories, and the smell made her nauseous. She would never want to stay in such a place for one more second unless necessary.
Qiao Che nodded, "Well, if you don't want to stay in the hospital, I will take you to my villa to stay for a few days until you recover."
Qu Ranran smiled and refused, "No, Dr. Qiao, I'll stay in the hospital for another two days and I'll be fine. I can take care of myself when I go back!"
"There are servants in the villa. They can take good care of you."
"Need not……"
Qiao Che looked at Qu Ranran's panicked face and smiled softly, "Are you so afraid of me?"
Qu Ranran said hurriedly, "No, Doctor Qiao, I'm just used to living alone."
As if giving a promise to Qu Ranran, Qiao Che said sternly, "Don't worry, I have to be on duty in the hospital for a while, and I will not go back to the villa to stay at night. Of course, if you mind seeing me in the villa during the day,
My words."
"No, Doctor Qiao, that's not what I meant..."
Qiao Che looked at Qu Ranran's confused face with a smile, "So, you agreed?"
"I..." Qu Ranran suddenly found that she couldn't refuse.
Qiao Che said slowly, "I just hope you can have a good cultivation environment."
Qu Ranran hesitated in her heart for a long time, and finally nodded. From one aspect, if someone takes care of her, her body can indeed recover faster.
"Well, I'll go and help you with the discharge procedures...I'll take you back to the villa later. The villa will be much more convenient than here."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Idiot." After rubbing Qu Ranran's hair, Qiao Che stood up and left the ward.
Watching Qiao Che's tall figure leaving, Qu Ranran's heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
He has always spared no effort to help her, and she feels that she owes him more and more, and since he confessed to her that night, she has no way to accept his help anymore, but... if she refuses him,
She was really afraid that she would hurt him.
After being extremely confused, Qu Ranran reached out and took out her mobile phone from the bag on the bedside table.
She stared at her phone blankly and sighed quietly.
She really wanted to call Guan Hao...
If he came, she could explain it clearly to Qiao Che, and Qiao Che would stop wasting his time on her. However, she didn't know when he would come to pick her up?
God knows how much she wants to tell him such good news now, how much she wants to see his happy expression when he learns the news...
…
Qu Ranran put down the phone and turned her head towards the window.
The environment of the hospital is very good, and you can see the green trees below the hospital from the window.
Suddenly, a soft sound of pushing the door came to Qu Ranran's ears.
Thinking it was a nurse, Qu Ranran's eyes still fell on the scenery outside the window and asked, "Has Dr. Qiao completed the discharge procedures?"
"Nurse" didn't answer.
Most nurses were cold to her because they misunderstood her relationship with Qiao Che. She was used to it, so she didn't look back at the nurse, but after a few seconds, she suddenly looked back.
Because, a second ago, a familiar male scent faintly entered her breath.
When her eyes met the visitor's bottomless black eyes, Qu Ranran's disbelieving eyes gradually became trance-like.
The next moment, she was embraced by a strong force into a warm and thick embrace.
When the familiar aura, familiar figure, familiar dominance and the tall figure that really existed in her eyes at this second reminded her that she was not in a dream at this moment, Qu Ranran suddenly jumped out of the man's arms.
Raising her eyes, the eyes looking at his handsome face were suddenly covered with mist, and her voice was sour with longing, "Guan Hao..."
Guan Hao hugged her, his dark eyes looked deeply into her misty eyes, and his voice was forbearing, "Baby, I'm here to pick you up..."
