Morning.
The sky was bright.
Heping Street Hospital.
The operating theater was dark, and Dong Xuebing, who was sitting on a chair, opened his eyes and yawned. He stretched, and the light from the crack of the door shone into his eyes. Dong Xuebing looked around and saw that he was covered with a blanket. He slapped his forehead and took out his phone to look at the time. It's almost 7 am.
I fell asleep?!
Did I fall asleep after the operation?!
Heh … why didn't anyone wake me up?!
Dong Xuebing remembered he had slept in the operating theater the whole night. Even he felt creepy. What the hell was going on?!
Suddenly, the operating theater's door was pushed open.
A young nurse walked in and turned on the light with a click.
The room was brightly lit, and Dong Xuebing had to shield his eyes.
The nurse was about 2 meters away from Dong Xuebing, and she got a shock when she saw someone standing in front of her. "You are awake?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Sorry, I had slept for so long."
The nurse replied. "I had wanted to wake you up, but it's getting late. I had just received a call. There will be an emergency operation later, and the operating theater needs to be prepared."
Dong Xuebing straightened his clothes. "Alright. Carry on with your work."
The nurse led the way. "Doctor Dong, this way please. I will bring you to Teacher Sun's ward. It's on the third floor."
"Doctor Dong?" Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "What doctor? I am not a doctor."
The nurse smiled sweetly. "You are too humble. Even China's top surgeons could not perform the surgery, and you had succeeded. If you are not a doctor, who else can you be?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't call me that."
The nurse paused for a second. "Then I will call you Teacher Dong."
Dong Xuebing asked. "How is Teacher Sun's recovery? Is he awake? "
"He had woken up at 6 am, and the people from Beijing TV station are here." The nurse replied.
Dong Xuebing followed her out of the operating room and narrowed his eyes to get used to the light outside. "The TV station is here too?"
The nurse nodded and said, "That's right. Teacher Sun saved the students from the hands of a few criminals. He didn't collapse even after being stabbed. He even protected the children and fought against the criminals, scaring them away. This isn't something an ordinary person can do. The people from the television station came late at night, and there were also a few people from the newspaper companies who were waiting in the middle of the night. They have been doing interviews with Teacher Sun's colleagues and students."
At the end of the corridor.
The two of them turned and went upstairs.
A doctor in a white coat saw Dong Xuebing and stopped in his tracks. He looked at the nurse and asked. "Is this Doctor Dong?"
The nurse immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
The doctor smiled and shook Dong Xuebing's hand. "Nice to meet you. Which hospital are you from?"
Dong Xuebing shook hands with him. "I am really not a doctor."
The doctor thought that he didn't want to talk about it, so he smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dong Xuebing continued to follow the nurse upstairs. Many nurses greeted Dong Xuebing.
"Doctor Dong."
"Good morning, Doctor Dong."
Dong Xuebing was speechless and blushed.
What kind of doctor was he? He was just an amateur.
The young nurse chuckled and explained, "Your surgery yesterday was too beautiful. After Doctor Zhang and Doctor Li finished the surgery and came out, I heard them regretting that they didn't turn on the video at that time. They didn't record those few seconds of the surgery. The doctors regretted it the whole night. Later, everyone in the hospital heard about your speed of suturing seven stitches in a second, and they all admired you."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Recording? Forget it. "
The nurse replied. "If this was recorded, this surgery could be used as a textbook."
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Luckily, he did not record it. He knew his medical skills very well. He had only read a few books these few days, and he will be exposed later.
… …
Third floor.
Critical Care Ward.
Perhaps Sun Kai's heroic deeds had touched many people, so the hospital attached great importance to him and specially arranged a single intensive care unit for him.
"Doctor Dong, we are here."
"This is the ICU?"
"Yes. I will go back first. I still need to prepare for the surgery."
"Ok. Thank you for leading the way. Carry on."
The door was locked and could not be opened. Dong Xuebing could see Sun Kai, Sun Kai's parents, and Xie Jing was sitting beside them. Dong Xuebing could not hear what they were saying.
Beep … beep … beep …
Dong Xuebing pressed the doorbell.
A nurse walked out and saw Dong Xuebing. She was stunned for a second and quickly opened the door. "Are you Doctor Dong? Please come in. " Sun Kai was still in critical condition, and the hospital will not let anyone into the ward. But Dong Xuebing was an exception. This surgery was performed by Dong Xuebing alone, and he was Teacher Sun's relative. He had the right to visit Sun Kai.
The door closed.
Dong Xuebing asked softly. "How is he?"
The nurse replied. "His condition is stable, and his blood pressure and heartbeat are normal. The patient woke up at 6.05 am, and Doctor Zhang had asked him to reduce his medication." The nurse sounded like she was reporting to a doctor in the hospital. She did not treat Dong Xuebing as the patient's relative and treated him as a doctor.
Xie Jing saw Dong Xuebing. "Brother-in-law!"
Sun Kai's sister quickly got up. "You are awake?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I just woke up. Why didn't you all call me?"
"The nurse had called you after the surgery." Xie Jing walked over. "We shook you a few times, but you did not wake up. We know you are too tired and didn't want to disturb you." Xie Jing paused for a while and asked Dong Xuebing the question she had been holding in for the whole night. "Brother-in-law, how … how come you know medical skills suddenly?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I have always known it."
"Don't you know Chinese Medicine? I had heard about it from my sister. "Xie Jing replied.
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "I also know some Western medicine. Sigh … it's about the same."
Xie Jing almost fainted. "How is it about the same? Western medicine is much better than Chinese Medicine. Also, surgery … how come I have never heard you say you know this? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I only know a little."
Xie Jing smiled. "You know too much. You make it sound like there is nothing you don't know."
Sun Kai, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Brother Dong."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes. I'm feeling much better. Thank you!" Sun Kai knew it was Dong Xuebing who had performed the surgery on him.
Dong Xuebing replied. "What's there to thank? We are a family. Just lie down and rest. I am relieved to know you are fine. "
Sun Kai's mother walked over and grabbed Dong Xuebing's hand. Her eyes were red. "Thank you! Thank you! "
Dong Xuebing quickly helped her up. "Aunty, don't stand on ceremony. You had fainted once last night, and don't be too emotional. Sit down and rest."
But Sun Kai's mother and Sun Kai's father did not listen to him. They pulled Dong Xuebing to thank him.
After a while, the nurse behind them said. "Sorry to disturb you all. It's almost the visiting time. Do you all want to wait for another five minutes? The patient still needs to be checked later. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Ok. We will leave now."
The nurse replied. "There is no hurry. I will go out to get the medicine first. Call me if you need anything."
Sun Kai's mother said to her son. "Xiao Kai, take care of yourself. I will accompany you outside."
Sun Kai replied. "Mum, Dad, Sis … you all should go back. I am fine."
Xie Jing said. "Aunty, Uncle, you all should go back. You all had not slept the whole night. I will stay behind to accompany Xiao Kai. Both of you are not feeling well, and I don't want to tire you all out."
Sun Kai's sister replied. "You can't do it alone. I will stay behind too."
As they were talking, the nurse who had just left opened the door and came back. She said to the person inside, "There's a Madam Xia Yanzhen outside. Is she your relative?"
Ms. Xia?
Xia Yanzhen?
Xie Jing was dumbfounded.
Sun Kai got nervous, and his body stiffened.
Sun Kai's parents looked at Xie Jing. "Xiao Jing, what's wrong?"
Xie Jing replied softly. "My mother is here."
"Ah? Your mother? " The Sun family took a deep breath. They had heard from their son that Xie Jing's family is not an ordinary family. All of them are government officials, and all of them are high-ranking officials. They also know Xie Jing's parents and family are against Xiao Jing being together with their son. Because of this, Xiao Jing's parents had used their connections to kick Sun Kai out of school. If it weren't for Xiao Jing's brother-in-law, Xiao Kai would not be a teacher.
Sun Kai's mother stammered. "This …"
Sun Kai's father immediately said. "Go back now, Xiao Jing. Your mother must be looking for you."
"I am not leaving." Xie Jing gritted her teeth and turned to the nurse. "Let my mother in. Thank you."
The nurse saw it was Sun Kai's family and did not ask any questions. She let them in and closed the door.
It was Xia Yanzhen.
Dong Xuebing greeted her. "Aunty."
"Xiao Bing is here too?" Xia Yanzhen nodded at Dong Xuebing and then looks at Xie Jing, the Sun family, and Sun Kai.
The Sun family is nervous. This is the first time they met Xiao Jing's mother, and they heard she is a Deputy Minister.
Sun Kai's mother quickly nudged Xie Jing. "Xiao Jing, go back with your mother. Xiao Kai, we are here, and you had not slept last night."
Xie Jing did not listen to her and sat still. She did not even look at Xia Yanzhen. Because Xie Guoliang and Xia Yanzhen strongly objected to her relationship with Sun Kai, Xie Jing's relationship with her family had deteriorated. She lived on her own and rarely returned home.
Sun Kai's father also said. "Xiao Jing, let's go back."
But Xia Yanzhen interrupted. "Xiao Kai had just passed the critical condition, and his condition is not stable yet. Let Xiao Jing accompany him. She is young and energetic, and it's fine to sleep less." She walked to the bedside and sat down. She patted the back of Sun Kai's hand. "Little Kai, Auntie is here to see you. I just got the news this morning. I came in a hurry and didn't buy anything. How are you feeling?"
Xie Jing was stunned!
The Sun family also did not expect Xiao Jing's mother to be like this!
