On the eve of Xia Jianguo's scheduled examination, Xia Wan secretly wondered whether she should give her father that magical health-strengthening pill again.

The pills are remarkably effective, quickly restoring energy and strengthening the body. However, she couldn't help but worry: what if her father's taking them affected the accuracy of the examination?

Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open without warning, and a young nurse walked in hurriedly.

She walked straight up to Xia Tao and said crisply, "The doctor instructed that your father needs a comprehensive physical examination today. Go and pay the relevant fees first."

Xia Tao nodded without hesitation after hearing this, indicating that he understood. He turned around and quickly left the ward. Not long after, when he returned, he was carrying a wheelchair.

Xia Jianguo slowly sat into his wheelchair and, accompanied by Xia Wan and Xia Tao, began the various examination procedures.

The whole process went surprisingly smoothly, taking only about an hour to complete all the checks.

However, on the way back, Xia Wan and Xia Tao pushed Xia Jianguo, who was in a wheelchair, towards the ward.

Along the way, Xia Jianguo's steps seemed slightly heavy, as if each step carried a heavy burden.

He kept his lips tightly closed, remaining silent as if under a spell, so silent that even the slightest breath was hard to detect.

Those wandering eyes were like a ship lost at sea, drifting helplessly in the vast ocean of people.

At the bottom of those deep eyes, a subtle, almost imperceptible tension and unease, like a veil of mist, quietly welled up within them.

Xia Wan keenly sensed the turmoil in her father's heart. She held her father's slightly rough hands tightly with her slender little hands, trying to convey warmth and reassurance.

She gently comforted him, "Old Xia, please don't be so nervous! We've been carefully taking care of our health these past few days, haven't we? This trip to the hospital for a checkup will be a good opportunity to see if all our efforts have been effective! I'm sure there won't be any major problems!"

In fact, Xia Wan knew better than anyone else that although her father always put on a nonchalant attitude towards everything, he was actually extremely concerned about her injured leg.

That worry was like a spark buried deep in my heart, ready to ignite once the right opportunity presented itself.

Seeing this, Xia Tao quickly chimed in, "That's right, Dad! Don't worry, the test results will be out soon!"

Finally, the group slowly returned to the ward.

As soon as she entered, Xia Wan didn't even have time to rest for a moment. She immediately picked up the kettle, poured a full glass of warm water for Xia Jianguo, and carefully handed it to him.

Then, she thoughtfully went to the bedside, gently lifted her father's head, and carefully adjusted the height and position of the pillow to ensure that he could rest in the most comfortable position.

Xia Tao sat quietly by the bed, smiling as he chatted with his father. From childhood anecdotes to everyday life, the father and son talked about everything, their laughter echoing in the small hospital room.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was almost afternoon.

Just then, a series of light footsteps approached from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dr. Liang, with a smile on his face and light steps, walking into Xia Jianguo's ward in a very pleasant mood...

Dr. Liang smiled gently at Xia Wan and Xia Tao, and said softly, "The test results are in. After reviewing them carefully, I found that the actual situation is much more optimistic than we had anticipated. Based on the current situation, the surgery can be scheduled in three days."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Wan and Xia Tao, who had been on edge, instantly relaxed and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Wan was secretly overjoyed after hearing this.

Because she knew very well that the reason she had such good news was entirely due to the health-strengthening pills she had won in the lucky draw from the system.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think to herself, "After my father's surgery, I must give him another strengthening pill. This will surely speed up his recovery."

For the next three days, Xia Wan and Xia Tao stayed at the hospital, never leaving Xia Jianguo's side.

Every day, Xia Wan would tirelessly massage her father, gently and meticulously kneading every muscle in his body, hoping to help him relieve tension and relax his mind and body.

Time flies, and before we knew it, the day of the surgery arrived.

That morning, just as the sun was rising, Xia Wan rushed to the hospital.

When she watched as her elderly father was slowly wheeled into the closed operating room, her slightly calmed mood turned heavy again, filled with worry and unease.

Seeing this, Xia Tao, who was standing to the side, quickly reached out and gently patted Xia Wan's shoulder, softly comforting her, "Little sister, don't worry too much. You have to trust the doctors' professional abilities; this surgery will definitely be a complete success!"

Xia Wan and Xia Tao quickly went to greet them. Although their father was not fully awake, his complexion looked rosy. Xia Wan looked at her father and her heart was filled with joy.

The day after the surgery, Xia Wan gave her father a health-strengthening pill.

After eating, her father felt much better. Xia Wan looked at her father, her heart filled with hope.

Xia Tao's lips curled up slightly, forming a pleasant smile, and his bright eyes sparkled with joy, clearly indicating that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

He whispered to his younger sister Xia Wan beside him, "Xia Wan, you stay here and take good care of Dad. I'll go ask the doctor what kind of food Dad can eat now, and then I'll go buy him some food!"

Hearing her brother's words, Xia Wan nodded and replied, "Okay, brother, hurry back." She looked up at the clock on the wall and realized that it was indeed getting late.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the ward was very harmonious. The family was happy and joyful, and everyone's face was filled with a happy and reassuring smile.

However, they were completely unaware that somewhere in this bustling metropolis—Beijing—someone was deeply worried about their safety.

Inside the Xia family study in the military compound, the atmosphere was somewhat somber. Old Master Xia sat upright at his desk, listening intently to his subordinates' reports.
