"There's nothing too serious. Although the situation was dangerous, you were brought to the hospital in time, and fortunately, it didn't cause any serious consequences. However, I can feel that the blood clots in your body haven't been completely expelled yet. I'll give you another acupuncture session tomorrow, and that might help."

Shu Ying looked serious. Medicine was her profession, and her assessment of Xie Zhiyan's injuries was almost 100% accurate.

"Your wound is still healing at this stage, so try to eat light meals. But don't worry about that. I'll be here with you every step of the way, and I'll check all your food first."

The food we eat is different from others. Xie Zhiyan is already taking anti-inflammatory drugs, and many foods have developed resistance to them. Shu Ying thought that she should use more spiritual spring water to cook.

Xie Zhiyan's dark pupils reflected Shu Ying's face, and he seemed unable to get enough of looking at the person in front of him.

The light cast a shadow on his profile. Shu Ying looked up at him but didn't show much expression, assuming he had just woken up and hadn't quite reacted yet, so it was normal for him to be slow to react.

Shu Ying took an apple out of the cabinet, holding a peeler in her hand. While carefully peeling the apple, she began to explain to Xie Zhiyan.

"Don't worry, your condition has stabilized now. Dr. Liu said he will give you the best medicine. Wang Zhande may come over tomorrow, so you can give him any instructions you need to."

She hadn't even peeled half of it when the peel broke. Normally, she wouldn't do these kinds of chores at home; she's not very skilled at taking care of people.

Xie Zhiyan simply watched her clumsy movements, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Shu Ying didn't notice and continued arguing with Apple with her head down: "I didn't know you went back to look for us. At that time, the situation at home was urgent, so I could only take the children to the capital to try my luck with you. I didn't expect that we would miss each other by such a twist of fate."

Shu Ying sighed softly as she finished speaking.

“I also brought Qingqing with me. She just gave birth in Shanghai a few days ago and we came here before she even finished her postpartum confinement. We originally thought it would be good to have someone to look after her on the way, but we didn’t expect that you and Duan Huaichuan were both injured.”

Shu Ying finally finished peeling an apple, the flesh still bumpy and uneven. She put down the peeler and handed the apple to Xie Zhiyan.

"The two children are still in the family compound. Luckily, we met Sister Song on the way, otherwise the children would have no one to take care of them."

Shu Ying told Xie Zhiyan about Song Zhaodi's situation. He was worried for a moment, but he didn't expect that she could handle it so well on her own.

The apple was fed directly to Xie Zhiyan's mouth; it was sweet and delicious. Shu Ying looked at him like a sunflower.

Xie Zhiyan's throat bobbed. He hadn't expected that Shu Ying had arranged so many things in such a short time. Not only had she brought Li Qingqing and the two children to settle in the capital, but she had even come to the hospital to take care of him.

This was different from the delicate little girl he remembered, but he knew in his heart that Shuying was never just a pretty flower in a greenhouse.

She is resilient and opinionated; she is a very strong young woman.

Just as he was about to say something, Shu Ying gently patted her forehead with one hand.

"Oh dear, look at my memory. Dr. Liu clearly told me to tell him as soon as you wake up. He's on duty tonight, so wait a moment, I'll call Dr. Liu over right now."

Without saying a word, Shu Ying left the ward. At that time, there were only three nurses on duty at the nurses' station. When they heard Shu Ying say that Xie Zhiyan had woken up, they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. They immediately went to the duty room to find Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu was still sighing as he looked at Xie Zhiyan's medical record. The injury was so serious, and the higher-ups were still hoping for a full recovery. The hope was clearly very slim.

But Xie Zhiyan was injured while doing something for the people, and from a personal perspective, Dr. Liu also hoped that he could make a full recovery.

"Conservative treatment is definitely not going to work, but if we go too far, what if the outcome isn't what we expect? Can everyone accept that?"

Dr. Liu was at his wits' end, not knowing what to do, when someone knocked on the door of the duty room.

"Enter."

With permission granted, the nurse on duty slightly opened the door and peeked out.

"Dr. Liu, the patient in room 611 has woken up."

Dr. Liu got up, picked up the medical record book, and then suddenly remembered—

"Ward 611?! Xie Zhiyan?!"

The nurse nodded vigorously: "Yes, his wife just came to tell us that he has woken up."

"Quickly, let's go take a look."

In his excitement, Dr. Liu tripped over his own feet and nearly fell to the ground.

But he couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly grabbed his glasses from the table and followed a group of nurses to the ward.

In the ward, Xie Zhiyan had already eaten half an apple, the sweetest apple he had ever eaten. Shu Ying poured him a glass of water and waited for Dr. Liu to come over.

"She's really awake!"

The nurses were shocked, and Dr. Liu was overjoyed. He clasped his hands tightly together and said, "Good, good, Comrade Xie Zhiyan, that's wonderful!"

Now I can confidently report back to my superiors.

Shu Ying was completely confused. Although it was indeed a good thing that Xie Zhiyan had woken up, Dr. Liu didn't need to be so excited.

Why does she seem less composed than her, a family member?

His exaggerated gestures and movements showed absolutely no maturity befitting an attending physician.

Dr. Liu looked intently at Shu Ying: "Comrade Shu Ying, I've noticed you've been staying at the hospital all day. Did you do something?"
