The doctor nodded, "The surgery was quite successful, and she will be sent to the ward shortly."
Xinyan was about to say some words of thanks, but the doctor spoke again, "If possible, it’s best to give her a comprehensive check-up."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan’s smiling face froze in place, "Doctor, did you find something?"
The doctor said, "Don’t worry, it’s just my speculation."
Before Xinyan could ask further, Granny Zhang was pushed out by the nurse, and Xinyan said to the doctor, "Doctor, I’ll settle her and then come find you."
The doctor nodded to Xinyan before leaving.
He Jinxuan patted Xinyan on the shoulder, silently comforting her.
Xinyan saw that Granny Zhang hadn’t woken up yet, "Nurse, why hasn’t my grandma woken up?"
The nurse explained, "She’ll wake up soon."
After settling into the ward, Xinyan remembered she hadn’t asked for leave, and she slapped her forehead, "Oh no."
He Jinxuan saw her like this, "What’s wrong?"
Xinyan said, "I didn’t ask for leave from school."
He Jinxuan ruffled her hair, "Don’t worry, I called your classmate Jiang Peiqin earlier to ask her to help you with that."
Xinyan didn’t expect He Jinxuan to be so considerate, but since he had mentioned not needing formalities before, she didn’t insist.
She wanted to give him a hug as a reward, but given the situation, she thought better of it.
After the nurse left, Xinyan looked at Granny Zhang on the bed and said to He Jinxuan, "I’m going to see the doctor."
He Jinxuan nodded, "Go ahead, I’ll stay here."
Xinyan hurried to the doctor, "Doctor, please tell me the truth."
The doctor was quite serious, "During the earlier check-up, I asked some questions. She said she’s been feeling some chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, and occasionally chest pain. It’s best to pay attention to it."
Xinyan didn’t hesitate and said directly, "Doctor, please go ahead and arrange it, I really appreciate it today."
The doctor, seeing that Xinyan trusted her, shared some of her expertise, "The exact situation can only be confirmed after the check-up. It’s best if there’s nothing, but if there is, early detection and treatment are beneficial."
When Xinyan returned to the ward, Granny Zhang had woken up. She looked at Xinyan and said, "Yanyan, sorry for bothering you."
Xinyan bent down closer, "Didn’t I tell you before that I would take care of you in your old age? So stop saying things like that, it makes me unhappy."
Granny Zhang understood that Xinyan was serious about taking care of her, and she could only do her best not to be a burden to the child.
Xinyan found an excuse and explained the afternoon’s check-up to Granny Zhang, who was very cooperative.
After all, she didn’t really understand, but she knew Xinyan wouldn’t let anything happen to her, so she simply followed the arrangements.
He Jinxuan made a call, and the scans were ready soon.
Then a series of checks were done, and after all the results came out, the doctor called Xinyan to the office, "Fortunately, it’s benign. My suggestion is to arrange the surgery as soon as possible."
However, considering Granny Zhang’s age and the fact that she just underwent an appendectomy, it’s best for the elderly to regain some vitality first.
After consultation, the surgery was scheduled for December 20th, just before the Chinese New Year, so she can recover and celebrate without missing anything.
But the doctor also thought Granny Zhang was truly lucky, because she went back for a detailed inquiry, and if according to Granny Zhang, this tumor had been there for a long time, something felt off.
The doctor was puzzled, but Xinyan had a suspicion that it might be related to regularly giving Granny Zhang Space Stream Water to drink, although this was something she definitely couldn’t disclose.
