Lin Zhixing had a slight thought in his mind for the first second, wondering if it was a coincidence.

When she saw the patient's age, her heart completely died.

This age, this name.

It was the Zhou Qiaohua she knew.

"Doctor Lin, this patient...may not necessarily accept my surgery."

Lin Zhixing hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his concerns.

"If you are worried about the patient's reluctance to accept the new technology, you can rest assured. We have already had a thorough discussion with the patient, and she is very confident in the treatment plan we provide."

Lin Guoping is full of confidence.

"No, I know this patient. I had some unpleasant experiences with her before I went abroad."

Lin Zhixing recalled what happened before he went abroad.

The last time she and Zhou Qiaohua met was in He Yan's ward.

She was very upset at Zhou Qiaohua's different treatment of He Yanchen and He Yan, and said some bad things impulsively.

If Zhou Qiaohua knew that she was the lead doctor this time, she would definitely be unwilling.

In addition, the operation is difficult, and if any problems arise during the operation, Zhou Qiaohua will think that she is taking revenge on her own.

"ah?"

Lin Guoping was stunned.

Lin Zhixing was also somewhat helpless. "I didn't expect the world to be so small. The patient you specially invited me back to perform surgery on turned out to be her."

"This..." Lin Guoping hesitated for a moment before saying, "Anyway, you're already in China. Meet the patient first. If she insists on changing doctors..."

"Anyway, let's meet first."

Lin Zhixing had also read Zhou Qiaohua's information and found that the situation was quite critical.

The reason why she was able to come so quickly was that she had not changed her identity after being abroad for so many years and was still a Chinese citizen.

Other colleagues must apply for visas to come here, which will delay them for a while.

The car drove from the airport to the city center.

Lin Zhixing looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

She hadn't been back to China for many years, and the changes in North City were not particularly great, not much different from what she remembered.

As the car passed through the familiar streets, Lin Zhixing saw a familiar building in the distance.

The words "Hua Yu Hospital" are written on it.

Further in the distance, you can see another building.

She once lived there for more than one hundred and fifty days.

The last time she and He Yanchen contacted each other was three years ago.

Not a connection, exactly.

She finally earned enough to earn the 540,000 yuan that year.

He asked Wang Xue to go through Shi Nanzhou and finally return the money to He Yanchen.

The 540,000 yuan was given to Shen Gang by He Yanchen in the past in order to blackmail him and sue Shen Gang and put him in jail.

She said she would definitely return the 540,000 yuan to him.

Although life was a little harder, fortunately, she no longer owed him anything after paying off the money.

An hour and a half later, the car arrived at the parking lot of St. He Hospital.

Lin Guoping took her to see Zhou Qiaohua.

When the three of them first entered the inpatient department of Shenghe Hospital...

Lin Zian said, "Mom, I'm waiting for you here."

When Lin Zhixing looked over, he was already walking alone with the Rubik's Cube in his hand in the direction he had just pointed.

There is a group of sofas in the lobby of the inpatient department.

The hospital where Lin Zhixing works abroad also has this sofa, next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

When Lin Zian was a child, he often stayed there alone waiting for her surgery to be completed.

In his heart, he might feel safer in such a place.

"No need to wait here," Lin Guoping said quickly. "We have a lounge specially prepared for children. There are snacks, toys, and they can watch TV."

Lin Zhixing glanced in his son's direction before saying to Lin Guoping, "It's okay, just let her stay here. She can just find someone to keep her company."

"this……"

"We just need to go and come back quickly."

Lin Zhixing said with certainty.

She understood why her son wanted to be here and respected his decision.

There's another reason...

Lin Zian had been ill before.

Selective mutism.

Although it was only level five, the symptoms were relatively mild and I am now considered recovered.

Lin Zhixing is still very worried that his son's condition will relapse, so he tries to respect his choice at this time.

"Oh, that's good."

Lin Guoping nodded.

-

The Cardiac Surgery Department of Shenghe Hospital is on the 8th floor.

After reaching the eighth floor, Lin Zhixing put on her white coat, put on the work permit that Shenghe Hospital had prepared for her in advance, and walked towards Zhou Qiaohua's ward.

The corridor is not very long.

Lin Zhixing felt very complicated inside.

In her view, this return trip is just a business trip, and she will definitely go back after the trip is over.

Probably because the decoration of hospitals in China are similar.

As she walked here, she had the illusion that she was still in Huayu Hospital five years ago.

Zhou Qiaohua lives in bed number 23.

When he reached the door of the ward, Lin Zhixing straightened his clothes a little before reaching out and knocking on the door.

A nanny opened the door and, upon seeing Lin Guoping, greeted him politely, "Director Lin."

A group of people entered the ward.

Lin Zhixing walked to Zhou Qiaohua's bedside and was slightly stunned when he saw the old woman.

After not seeing each other for five years, Zhou Qiaohua seemed to be aging at an alarming rate.

Five years ago, she was in her early sixties. She looked energetic, her skin was well maintained, and her spirit and energy were like that of a person in her forties.

Now the old man is sitting on the bed. His originally thick black hair has been cut short, with many white hairs obviously mixed in it. His skin is not as tight as it was a few years ago, and his pupils are slightly cloudy.
