75 Prepare for Surgery

After hearing that Zhang Li Xue was on her way to the hospital due to pain in her stomach, Qi Zheng quickly contacted a related department in the hospital.

Qi Zheng was already waiting for the girl at the entrance. The moment Zhang Li Xue showed up, the girl was quickly taken to the Emergency Department where she was getting her check-up.

“Li Xue had frequently skipped her lunch recently,” Zhang Yu Han spoke with a worried look on his face. He watched as his little girl was wheeled into the room and frowned. “We think it might be a gastric problem.”

Qi Zheng patted his friend on the shoulder. “If it’s just a gastric problem, then it shouldn’t be anything dangerous. But we will take precautions. Yu Han, the doctor will give her a thorough check-up and make sure that Li Xue is alright. Don’t worry. Li Xue will be fine.”

If it was only pain due to skipping her meal, then, it shouldn’t be too dangerous. What Qi Zheng was worried about was that there was another complication. A stomach ache could mean anything. As he recalled watching Zhang Li Xue’s pale face, Qi Zheng could not help but worry.

His brow furrowed.

Zhang Li Xue was the girl that Qi Zheng had watched growing up. Just like Zhang Yu Han, Qi Zheng too was worried about the little girl.

If something happened to her, everyone would not be able to sit still.

Qi Zheng continued to help Zhang Yu Han to calm down while suppressing his anxiety as well.

.....

At the side, Zhang Yi Hai was watching the door to the Emergency Department with a deep look on his face. A few doctors and nurses come and go. Each of them was busy with their emergency cases. Zhang Yi Hai was anxious, but he could only wait patiently and let the doctor do their job.

Zhang Li Xue was the only sister he had and he did not want anything to happen to her.

Zhang Yi Hai secretly swore to himself that he would accompany his sister to lunch for as long as he was working part-time at the hotel. If she forgets to eat, then he would be around to remind her. He would annoy her until she would listen to him. Perhaps he would ask the triplets to help him as well.

After staring at the room for a while, Zhan Yu Hai turned to his father and spoke, “Dad, it would be a while before the doctor come out with the result. Why don’t you sit down first?”

Qi Zheng nodded. “That’s right. Yu Han, have a seat first.”

Zhang Yu Han was too worried that he would not be able to sit still. However, Qi Zheng had pulled him over to the chair and he had no other choice but to sit down.

“Dad,” Zhang Yi Hai hesitated. “Should we call mom and tell her what happened?”

“Let’s wait until the doctor had come out with the diagnosis first,” Zhang Yu Han decided. “I don’t want your mom to worry.”

After waiting for a moment that felt like forever, the doctor who went in with Zhang Li Xue finally came out.

Zhang Yi Hai was the first to notice it when the doctor came out. He stood up and saw that the doctor’s expression was not looking quite good.

His heartbeat increased as he waited for the doctor to deliver the bad news.

“Doctor Qi,” the young doctor walked over. “It’s appendicitis. The patient should be preparing for surgery soon.”

Zhang Yu Han could not hide his surprise. He had thought that it was just a gastric problem and the pain would be gone after eating some medicine.

But surgery?

Zhang Yu Han turned to his friend. “Qi Zheng.”

“Let’s not panic.” Qi Zheng helped the man to calm down. “I’m here. I’ll go and contact the department first.”

It was only then that Zhang Yu Han seemed to remember that his friend was also a surgeon.

Zhang Yu Han watched as Qi Zheng took out his phone and started to speak to a few people. “Yu Han, you go ahead and wait for me at my office. I will update you with Li Xue’s condition later.”

Qi Zheng rushed over to his department to get ready for the operation.

When he arrived, he ran into Bai Qi and the young man quickly followed after him.

Bai Qi had heard that his mentor had arranged surgery for an appendicitis patient. However, he was a little dumbfounded upon hearing that his mentor wanted to do the surgery personally.

“Doctor Qi, you’re going to personally do this surgery?”

“It can’t be helped.” Qi Zheng heaved a sigh as he changed his clothes to get ready. “Other than me, the girl’s father would not trust anyone else.”

Bai Qi quickly figured out the situation. “The patient is someone you know?”

“Mmm...” Qi Zheng nodded. He checked his attire for one last time before turning to Bai Qi again. “It’s my niece that you have met before. Li Xue. The first time you came to my house, you had a basketball match with her and my children.”

“Zhang Li Xue?”

“So, you remember her. Yes. That’s the one.” Qi Zheng turned around and headed to the operational theatre.

Meanwhile, Bai Qi stood still on the spot for a long time Once he finally snapped out of his trance, Bai Qi went to the operating theatre and requested the patient’s record. Seeing the name written on the paper made his heartbeat accelerate, but not for a good reason.

His little fairy was having surgery?

Bai Qi sped over to the operating theatre to watch the girl. He stood behind the glass wall and watched as his mentor and the others were preparing for the surgery.

He could not help but worry that there would be some complications from her condition.

Then, he saw her face.

It has been a long time since the last time he saw Zhang Li Xue.

Bai Qi would not expect that the next time he saw her, the girl would be laying in the operational theatre.

His brow furrowed as the surgery began.
