"That’s great," Father Jiang said, his face lighting up as his worries vanished. It was clear he was in a good mood.
Seeing her father’s smiling face, Jiang Xue felt a twinge of jealousy, thinking that Father Jiang liked Mu Qiancheng more than her.
As if sensing her disappointment, Qian Cheng secretly squeezed her hand, making her blush uncontrollably. She quickly said, "Dad, Qian Cheng, you two chat. I’m going out to check if the car has arrived."
Jiang Xue left the ward and went to the nurse’s station to inquire, while Qian Cheng sat down and started talking with Father Jiang. Whether because of Mu Qiancheng’s presence or not, Father Jiang’s initial anxiety seemed to dissipate.
However, he was still a bit worried, so he told Mu Qiancheng, "Qian Cheng, I’ve said it before, I entrust Xue’er to you. You must treat her well. If I’m not around, please also help take good care of your mom."
"Dad, don’t worry. Xue’er and I will definitely take good care of Mom, so just don’t think too much. You have to trust the doctors, trust us, and trust yourself. It’s just a minor operation. There’s no need to be nervous, you’ll be fine."
"Alright, with what you’ve said, I feel at ease. No matter the outcome, I have no more worries," Father Jiang said.
"Old man, don’t speak nonsense," Mrs. Jiang glared at Father Jiang and said, "Instead of entrusting me to others, you’d better take care of yourself."
Jiang Xue, just returning from the nurse’s station, heard Mrs. Jiang’s words and glanced at her. If she remembered correctly, Mrs. Jiang seemed even more worried than Father Jiang earlier. How much time has passed, and she seems much better now.
She couldn’t help it and turned to look at Mu Qiancheng, wondering if it was something he said that eased Mrs. Jiang’s nerves.
Qian Cheng, feeling his wife’s gaze, smiled at her and then asked, "How is it, what did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said they’re coming soon, told us not to worry, not to be anxious."
"Alright, then we’ll wait," Qian Cheng smiled, looking gently at Jiang Xue. Read full story at novęlfire.net
The family sat in the ward for a while longer. At ten past seven, the doctor arrived. Father Jiang was put on the stretcher brought by the doctor and taken to the operating room.
The operating room was on the second floor, while the ward was on the fourth. Fortunately, there was an elevator, so it wasn’t a problem. Upon reaching the second floor, Jiang Xue immediately saw Professor Han.
At that moment, he was dressed in surgical scrubs, heading towards the operating room. Jiang Xue approached him, bowed deeply, and said, "Professor Han, I’m counting on you."
Professor Han nodded and entered the operating room. Father Jiang was also about to be pushed in, and before entering, he gave Jiang Xue and the others a long look.
Then, he looked at Mu Qiancheng, conveying with his eyes, "Qian Cheng, don’t forget what you promised Dad before."
Understanding his gaze, Mu Qiancheng said, "Dad, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Xue’er and Mom."
Hearing this, Father Jiang finally felt at ease and entered the operating room.
As the doors to the operating room closed, Jiang Xue’s entire body tensed again with worry. She silently prayed in her heart, hoping Father Jiang’s surgery would go smoothly. Hoping he would be safe, and that his illness could be cured by this operation.
Seeing Jiang Xue’s tension, Mu Qiancheng stepped forward and held her hand, conveying his strength to her, and at the same time telling her, don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side.
