Xi Chenxiao heard what Yu Haiyang said and stared at Yu Haiyang as if he was an idiot. The nurse had already explained it so clearly, so why was he still asking? Did he not understand what she said? Xi Chenxiao replied coldly,
“You’re not dreaming!”
Yu Haiyang still could not believe it. After all, they were basically told to prepare for the worst during earlier consultations. It was such a complex surgery and very few people in this world could do it. Even if the surgery was successful, there could still be some long-lasting effects on the patient. Yu Haiyang said,
“Then why is this so unreal? Before this, the experts have told us that mom’s illness is difficult to treat. But now, in just more than an hour, it’s done? This is but a dream!”
When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he stepped forward and punched Yu Haiyang in the chest. He knew that Yu Haiyang was worried about his mom, but he shouldn’t say such words. After all, the surgery was a success.
“Shut up!”
Yu Haiyang felt the pain and looked at Xi Chenxiao in shock. When he came back to his senses, he thought about what the young nurse said and his eyes turned red. The worry he had for the past few days was gone now. Yu Haiyang exclaimed,
“So, this is not a dream. My mom is going to be okay. I must thank her surgeon, thank all our ancestors, and…”
Before Yu Haiyang could finish, Xi Chenxiao interrupted coldly,
“Don’t make me say it again. Shut up now.”
This nephew of his could not even give thanks properly. He’s not very bright indeed.
Yu Haiyang sensed his uncle’s impatience and immediately shut his mouth. He walked up to the equally shocked Grandpa Xi and Grandma Xi. Yu Haiyang looked at his agitated great-grandparents and said happily,
“Great-grandpa, Great-grandma, my mom is going to be okay. Did you hear that?”
Grandma Xi nodded with a trail of tears on her face. Of course, she heard it. She heard every word the nurse said just now. God bless Xi Xiaoxiao, or she might be in a vegetative state right now. Grandma Xi replied with a choked voice,
“I heard it, I heard it all!”
Grandpa Xi had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the doors of the operating theater. He did not expect Su Jin to be of real help to Director Mou. Wasn’t she just going to cause trouble in there? After a while, Xi Xiaoxiao was wheeled out and sent to the intensive care unit.
Director Mou and Su Jin walked out behind them. Yu Haiyang had followed Xi Xiaoxiao’s gurney to the intensive care unit, leaving Xi Chenxiao, Grandpa Xi and Grandma Xi outside the operating theater. When Grandpa Xi saw Director Mou, he went up and shook Director Mou’s hand as he said gratefully,
“Director Mou, you’re amazing. Your medical skills have improved over the years. Thank you so much!”
Director Mou shook his head. The credit wasn’t his. He felt a little guilty at Grandpa Xi’s praise. Director Mou stole a glance at Su Jin and wanted to tell the truth.
“There’s no need for that, Old Master Xi. Actually…”
Before he could finish, Su Jin interrupted,
“Grandpa, it’s too early to be happy. The surgery will cause some damage. Although it was done in a timely manner and completed quickly, she’s not out of the woods yet. It’s too early to say anything.”
She wasn’t there to show off, but to save Xi Xiaoxiao’s life.
When Director Mou heard Su Jin’s words, he knew that she did not want him to say anything more. Director Mou understood and stopped talking. Instead, he nodded and said to Grandpa Xi,
“That’s right, Old Master Xi. We have to take good care of your granddaughter during this critical observation period!”
Grandpa Xi panicked again when he heard this. He thought that if the surgery was successful, Xi Xiaoxiao would be fine. When he heard these words, he got worried again and said immediately,
“Let’s go check on Xiaoxiao now!”
Grandpa Xi then turned to go to the intensive care unit to see Xi Xiaoxiao. He didn’t want to waste any more time here. When Su Jin saw where he was heading, she said helplessly,
“Xi Xiaoxiao just came out of surgery. She’s currently very sensitive to noise and needs to rest quietly. Grandpa, if you’re going to see her, you’ll have to lower your voice!”
