He even looks several years older than his actual age.

Before Lin Zhixing could speak, Zhou Qiaohua had already recognized her.

“You, you…”

"Aunt Zhou, long time no see, I'm Lin Zhixing."

Lin Zhixing greeted the old man neither humbly nor arrogantly.

To this day, she doesn't feel that she did anything wrong, nor does she feel that she lost any money.

“…Why is it you?”

Zhou Qiaohua clearly looked like she had a lot to say, but in the end she swallowed it all and it only turned into these four words.

"Auntie Zhou, I'm the doctor invited by Shenghe Hospital to perform your surgery. If you accept me as your lead surgeon, I'll begin examining your physical condition and then come up with a surgical plan."

Lin Zhixing paused, then explained, "I didn't know you were the patient before I came, otherwise I would have asked another colleague to come."

There was a brief silence in the ward.

Lin Guoping was afraid that Zhou Qiaohua would disagree, so he immediately said, "Dr. Lin is a top cardiac surgeon abroad. If your case wasn't special, we wouldn't be able to get her to perform this surgery. Even if her colleagues were to come in, they wouldn't be as good as her."

Zhou Qiaohua looked at Lin Zhixing quietly.

In five years, the woman hadn't changed much, especially her eyes, which were always gentle and firm.

Zhou Qiaohua clutched the quilt tightly in both hands and was silent for a long time before saying, "Okay."

"Auntie Zhou, if I become your attending physician, I have one more request."

"Go ahead."

Lin Zhixing looked at the old man in front of him and said seriously, "I returned to China this time to treat you. No matter what your current relationship with Mr. He is, please don't tell him that I am your primary doctor."
