"Add more anesthesia. I'll use the best of everything. It doesn't matter how much it costs. Please operate on him now. He's in so much pain that he's almost dying."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Tian nodded repeatedly. Seeing Pingping huddled up like a boiled shrimp, unable to make a sound due to the pain, he felt distressed and urged her quickly.

The doctor nodded, gave a few instructions to the nurse beside him, then turned and walked into the office. Pingping was pushed into the operating room by two nurses.

When Chu Min and Yao Xiujuan found Chu Tian with their things, they found Chu Tian leaning against the wall, staring at a door not far away with a nervous look on his face. They quickly walked up to him and asked,

"Little brother, where's Pingping?"

Chu Tian uttered an "Ah", his eyes still fixed on the door, and without turning his head, he said, "Doing surgery..."

Chu Min was stunned for a moment, "Has he been admitted? Are you sure it's the appendicitis you mentioned?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Well, it's confirmed..."

Yao Xiujuan burst into tears when she heard this. She was heartbroken. Her son, her well-behaved son, who was usually in good health, why did he get this damn appendicitis?

Why should he get it? I can get it for him!

Chu Tian heard the crying and turned his head to see Yao Xiujuan's clothes were soaked with tears. He frowned and said, "Xiujuan, don't cry. The doctor said that appendicitis is easy to treat. Just remove the diseased intestine and take good care of yourself after the operation. It will be fine."

In fact, appendicitis is no longer considered a major operation in modern times. Basically, it is done on the same day, and the gas is deflated, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital. Generally, it takes about a month to recover. He remembered that he only stayed in the hospital for a few days and then was discharged and recuperated at home.

However, he was worried about whether the disinfection in this era was done properly, so he repeatedly told the doctor before he entered the operating room that he was willing to spend money to buy a full set of surgical tools, including needles and other things, and he must use new ones, and would never use those that had been used by other patients and were only simply disinfected...

To put it bluntly, who knows what invisible disease the patient in front has...

Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian with tears in her eyes, "Really?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Really..."

After a pause, he continued, "The nurse just gave me the bed number for the hospitalization. Go to the ward and make the bed first. Pingping will be sent there soon after the surgery..."

Yao Xiujuan wiped the tears from her face, nodded, picked up the quilt that Chu Min had placed on the chair and said, "Then I'll go make the bed first..."

Chu Min looked back at Yao Xiujuan, thought for a moment, and then mentioned other things, "I'll take the things to the ward first and come back later."

"Um"

A moment later, Chu Min came back and leaned against the wall with Chu Tian. "Little brother, why don't you get a single room? This ward with ten or so people is too noisy..."

Chu Tian glanced at Chu Min and said, "Second brother, do you think I don't want to? It's not over yet..."

Chu Min, "..."

After three hours, the door of the operating room opened, and the doctor walked out without taking off the mask on his face. Chu Tian and Chu Min hurried to greet him.

"Doctor, my son..."

The doctor smiled and nodded. "They discovered it early and sent it in time. The operation was very successful. However, the patient needs to be observed for another half an hour before he can be released. You should go back to the ward and wait. He will be sent back soon."

Chu Tian quickly thanked him, "Thank you..."

The doctor smiled and waved his hand. "It's our responsibility to save the dying and the wounded. He's also very strong. Before the anesthesia came on, I asked him what he wanted to do in the future. He said he wanted to study medicine when he grew up..."

Chu Tian nodded, "Indeed, my son heard that college entrance exams have resumed, so he said he wanted to apply to a medical university..."

The doctor praised, "What a great ambition! Our country is in need of medical professionals!"

When Chu Tian and Chu Min returned to the ward, they saw that Yao Xiujuan's eyes were swollen. Chu Min patted Chu Tian on the shoulder, said, "I'm going to the bathroom," turned around and walked out of the ward.

Chu Tian walked over and sat next to Yao Xiujuan, comforting her, "Xiujuan, stop crying. Pingping has safely completed the operation and will be sent back soon."

Yao Xiujuan's eyes were swollen. "I, I don't want to cry either, but when I think of our Pingping, who has suffered so much at such a young age, I just... wuwu..."

Chu Tian sighed helplessly in his heart, knowing that the more he persuaded her not to cry, the more she would want to cry. It would be better to let her cry enough at once, so he hugged her and patted her gently.

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Xiujuan finally stopped crying. She stood up and said, "I, I'm going to wash my face..."

After she left, the man in the bed next to her said disdainfully, "I say, your wife is such a crybaby. She cried for two or three hours. It's really annoying..."

Chu Tian glanced at him indifferently and said, "My wife is timid and is just worried about the child."

The man curled his lips and muttered, "Women are trouble..."

Chu Tian frowned, but thinking that this was a public place and there were other patients, he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and sorted out the luggage he had brought. Yao Xiujuan probably only remembered crying, so she just made the bed and didn't pack anything else.

A moment later, Chu Min came back, carrying a thermos full of boiling water.

"Little brother, this is rented from the hospital's hot water room. I think my sister-in-law didn't bring a thermos."

Chu Tian took the thermos and placed it on the bedside table, then asked, "Is the thermos rented? What about the water?"

Chu Min said calmly, "It's ten cents a day to rent a thermos, and you can get as much water as you want. If you bring your own, it's two cents per fill!"

"I asked the doctor, and he said Pingping would have to stay in the hospital for at least half a month, so I just rented it for half a month. That way, every time you need hot water, you can just bring the thermos and go get it."

Chu Tian nodded, "Then I'll give you money."

As he was about to take money out of his pocket, Chu Min quickly held his hand down and said unhappily, "That's enough. Don't smack me. I'm Pingping's second uncle. What's wrong with spending some money on him? Do you have to calculate it so clearly?"

Chu Tian twitched his lips when he heard this, "Okay, then I won't be polite to Second Brother."

Half an hour passed quickly, and Pingping was sent back on time. Yao Xiujuan didn't know whether Pingping was sleeping soundly or unconscious. In short, seeing his pale face and red eyes, she thought of what Chu Tian said, that Pingping was fine after the operation, which was a good thing, so she tried hard to hold back her tears...

The nurse looked at Chu Tian and asked, "Are you the child's parent?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, I am his father..."

"Then you guys should be careful. He'll probably be fully awake by night, and the incision might hurt by then. If the pain is unbearable, come to the nurse's station and get some painkillers."

"Also, don't feed him anything, not even water..."
