"Okay." Dr. Xiang turned to look at the nurse tenderly, his eyes full of affection.

The nurse lowered her head, smiled shyly, and then turned and went into the ward.

Ming Jiayi raised an eyebrow and followed her inside.

Wow.

Office romance.

"Go find a gurney and bring it in," the nurse, Yu Tingting, instructed the other nurses present.

"good."

Yu Tingting turned around and saw Ming Jiayi standing there.

Suddenly, she seemed to have learned Peking Opera face-changing.

Her expression instantly changed from a shy, coquettish laugh to an indescribable look of disgust.

"What are you doing here? If we send your father to the ICU, that means we can't visit him anymore, don't you know that?"

“It hasn’t been pushed in yet, so I came in to take a look,” Ming Jiayi replied.

"Get out, get out, don't get in the way." Yu Tingting waved her hand a few times, eager to get Ming Jiayi out.

“I want to help.” Ming Jiayi stood there motionless, speaking calmly and composedly.

"What can you do to help? Stop making things worse," the nurse said, sounding somewhat annoyed.

Ming Jiayi rolled her eyes and walked straight ahead, too lazy to pay attention to the nurse's inexplicable behavior.

"Tingting, you can send Mr. Ming to the ICU for observation. Ms. Ming, can you come with me to sign the surgical consent form and go through the procedures?" Dr. Xiang suddenly walked in and said.

Yu Tingting immediately looked at the doctor with a beaming smile and said sweetly and obediently, "Okay."

Ming Jiayi's lips twitched. This person was really...

She's a better actress than her.

…

The next night

Ming Yiran's surgery was scheduled for 10 p.m., and Ming's mother and Ming Fengche sat quietly outside the operating room waiting.

Wearing a mask, hat, sunglasses, and scarf to completely cover herself, Ming Jiayi dashed into the bathroom inside the operating room's changing room, grabbed a sterile gown, and changed into it.

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits if things succeed."

"What if the higher-ups find out? They'll revoke my medical license."

"What are you afraid of? If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know? You accidentally touched a patient's blood vessel, and he bled so badly that he couldn't be saved. At most, that would only be considered medical malpractice. Besides, there are no cameras in the operating room on the 23rd floor. Who can know if you did it on purpose?"

"Okay... but you absolutely have to keep this a secret."

"Don't worry, I asked you to do it. If I don't keep it a secret, wouldn't that be the same as betraying myself?"

Inside the changing room, two rustling sounds reached Ming Jiayi's ears.

She opened the bathroom door a crack and peered through it at the two people.

"Okay, then you must remember to pay me the balance after I finish this. My daughter is really urging me to pay."

"Don't worry. My sister-in-law won't treat you badly."

Ming Jiayi rubbed her eyes and stared intently at the woman who was completely covered by sterile clothing, a sterile cap, and a medical surgical mask.

That figure looks familiar…

"By the way, do you know who the surgeon is today? If she's not very skilled at surgery, then you won't have to do it yourself."

"The dean suddenly brought him in; he seems to have just returned from winning an award abroad. He's quite impressive."

"That's a real pity," the woman said regretfully.

"Am I... really going to be okay?"

"Don't worry about it at all. Even if something goes wrong, my sister-in-law will help you with the aftermath," the woman said somewhat impatiently. "Let's go, the surgery is about to begin."
