“I heard that Su Yu crashed his car into the car of the two women who offended you at the party and almost flipped them over. Apparently, it gave them quite the fright.”
Huo Mian’s expression changed slightly upon reading this message…
Wasn’t Su Yu overreacting a bit? It wasn’t that serious.
Didn’t he already seek revenge for her by smashing his wineglass onto their feet? Why would he do something as rash and dangerous as crashing his car into theirs?
What if someone died?
The good thing was that the women were driving a Maserati. If they were driving a Xiali (TL: a really cheap car made in China), it would’ve crumpled on impact, turning the two into pancakes, and the women would be in the morgue by now…
She realized that she should probably take the time to have a conversation with Su Yu… He shouldn’t be so willful.
After Qin Chu came out from the shower, Huo Mian was already obediently lying in bed…
Only Huo Mian had the honor of seeing Qin Chu’s perfect body…
She was ready to drool all over his abs…
“Honey…”
“Yeah?” Qin Chu looked at her as he dried his hair with a towel.
“We’ve been… doing it… for a while now, why am I not pregnant yet?”
“Hahaha…” Qin Chu couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing about?”
“I can’t believe you’re a medical practitioner… you know how hard it is to get pregnant. It’s not that easy.”
“But I feel like it’s easy for everyone else. A lot of couples get pregnant as soon as they get married. Oh right, some celebrities even get pregnant out of wedlock and get married with a big belly… It seems fast for everyone else.”
“So?” Qin Chu looked at her.
“So do you think… one of us is infertile?”
Qin Chu, “…”
Huo Mian’s sentence sent Mr. Qin into depression…
“Should we get a checkup at the hospital?”
“No, it’s embarrassing.”
“Hey… how’s that embarrassing?”
“We’ve been married for less than a year, what are you in such a hurry for? Isn’t our life good right now as is?”
Qin Chu wasn’t in that much of a hurry…
All he thought was, they could enjoy their alone time for the time being. If Huo Mian got pregnant, he was also ready to be a father anytime.
“Hey… you have a point… Once our baby is born, I’ll be super busy… Everyone says that a woman becomes stupid for three years after giving birth, I wonder if I will become a klutz once I’m pregnant.”
Huo Mian smiled…
– The next morning –
After breakfast, they each went off to work.
When Huo Mian went into the ICU, Xue Juan was reading a storybook to Shuai Shuai.
It was the children’s version of Journey to the West.
“Shuai Shuai.” Huo Mian smiled as she entered the room.
“Big Sis!” thrilled, Shuai Shuai shouted as he leaned on his bed.
“How are you feeling today? Any discomfort?”
“No… my mom is reading me a storybook that Qiqi, Doctor Li’s daughter gave me. She brought me a lot of books.”
Shuai Shuai said excitedly to Huo Mian…
Huo Mian held a box in her hand and handed it to Shuai Shuai…
“Take a look at what I brought, do you like it?”
“Wow… a remote-control race car.”
Toy race cars to little boys were like barbies to little girls.
Shuai Shuai never had a toy for himself, since Xue Juan couldn’t afford one.
“This is for you.”
“Thank you, Big Sis!” Shuai Shuai fondled the car admiringly.
Xie Juan wore a white shirt, black pants, and canvas shoes.
Embarrassed, she got up and said, “Dr. Huo, sorry to have you spend money again…”
“It’s not a problem, as long as Shuai Shuai likes it. Oh, right, I came bringing good news.”
“Can he have the surgery?” Xie Juan asked in excitement.
Huo Mian nodded, “A kidney has been transferred from S City, and it’s a perfect match for Shuai Shuai. The attending surgeons and I had a discussion, and think he can have the surgery tomorrow morning.”
“That’s great, thank you, Dr. Huo.” An emotional Xue Juan grabbed Huo Mian’s hand, choking on her words.
“Don’t mention it. But I do need to remind you that whether the surgery is successful will have to depend on Shuai Shuai’s post-surgical conditions… Most people don’t have any side effects, but if his body rejects the kidney… he might have to go through another surgery.”
“What? That’s possible?”
“Yes, after all, the kidney is from a stranger with no blood ties to Shuai Shuai… So we can’t make any guarantees… But don’t feel too pressured… I believe that Shuai Shuai will be able to quickly recover.”
“Okay.”
Xue Juan’s eyes were closed as she grasped Huo Mian’s hands, so excited that she didn’t know what to say.
For the past few days, she and her son ate at South Side and lived at South Side. The ICU had everything they ever needed.
Shuai Shuai was able to take medicine and got injections every day; Xie Juan thought that the entire world became beautiful…
“Ms. Xie… once Shuai Shuai recovers from surgery, will you…?” Huo Mian hesitated before she finished her sentence.
