Zhang Dao shook his head seriously.
"No, that won't happen. I used to go home for dinner and then come back to the hospital for surgery. Then she would tell me that I should just stay at the hospital, that it's too much trouble to go back and forth, and that it's also a hassle for her."
If I don't go back, she can just eat whatever she wants, but if I do, she'll have to cook for me. So I thought since it's her birthday today, I should let her relax a bit.
Ming Jiayi shook her head with a helpless smile, then lightly teased,
"You must have been pursuing your wife for quite a while, right? With your typical straight-man mentality, how can you possibly win a girl's heart?"
Zhang Dao looked somewhat innocent, staring at Ming Jiayi with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean? Isn't that how it is?"
Ming Jiayi chuckled softly.
"Of course not. She might think that occasionally when there aren't any holidays. But today is her birthday, aren't you going to go back and be with her, leaving her all alone?"
Zhang Dao didn't understand. He scratched his head and replied somewhat sullenly.
"But when I called her that night to tell her I wasn't going home, she told me I'd better stay at the hospital all night and not go back. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Ming Jiayi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Did Madam say those words in a somewhat cold and angry tone? And her original words must have been more than just that one sentence, right?"
Zhang Dao nodded. "Yes, she said I'd better stay at the hospital all night and not go home, or she'll kick me out."
"Oh my god, Dr. Zhang, while there's still some time, you should go and comfort Madam. She's so obviously angry, how can you not tell?" Ming Jiayi earnestly advised.
Although Zhang Dao was puzzled, he still picked up his phone.
It's often said that women understand women best, and it might actually be true.
As Ming Jiayi watched Zhang Dao's retreating figure, she found it increasingly amusing.
That's so typical of straight men.
Compared to Gu Shaojin, Gu Shaojin truly understands women's hearts far better.
wrong.
Why compare her to Gu Shaojin?
Zhang Dao made the call three times. His wife finally answered the phone just as he was about to hang up on the third call.
A slightly sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "What? Aren't you going to have surgery?"
Hearing the sobbing, Zhang Dao was instantly stunned. "Wife, what's wrong? Are you crying? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Zhang Dao's wife wiped her nose with a tissue, then angrily replied, "No!"
Zhang Dao's voice softened; he seemed to know why his wife was crying...
"Honey, I'm sorry... I didn't come home for dinner tonight because I wanted to make your birthday less stressful, but I forgot that you actually want me to be with you..."
There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone, then she spoke, somewhat bewildered, "Why aren't you straight this time?"
"I just ran into Ming Jiayi, and I told her about this. She said that what I did would make you angry..."
"You need someone to tell you to know! We've been together for so long, you blockhead!"
Zhang Dao's wife angrily cursed into the phone, but soon, she seemed to realize something was wrong.
"Ming Jiayi? Are you talking about that celebrity Ming Jiayi?"
Zhang Dao lowered his head with some guilt. "Yeah. I'm sorry, I won't be so stupid next time."
Zhang Dao's wife instantly forgot that she was still angry, and she anxiously pressed for an answer.
"What was she doing at your hospital? Was she sick? And you said she told you that I would be angry? You wouldn't be complaining about me to her, would you?"
"I didn't, honey. How could I complain about you? You are the best and most perfect in my heart."
"Oh... then why did she go to your hospital?"
"Let's get things done..."
Zhang Dao's wife stopped pressing the matter; her anger came and went quickly, and the two resumed their sweet relationship.
Ming Jiayi had already changed her clothes, and the other doctors and nurses arrived one after another.
They went into the operating room together to prepare for the surgery.
Because this patient's condition is quite serious, they need a longer time.
To avoid surgical failure due to overexertion, the initial incisions were performed by other doctors, while Ming Chia-Yi took over the more difficult parts later on.
Everyone in the operating room stood at their posts with utmost seriousness, not daring to relax even for a moment.
After completing the first part, Ming Jiayi switched places with the doctor. She took the surgical instruments handed to her by the nurse and calmly began the difficult part.
Zhang Dao stood opposite her, assisting her in completing the surgery.
Ming Jiayi used an electric scalpel to slowly burn open the patient's skin, and then used tweezers to peel off the patient's blood vessels.
This process requires extreme care and attention; the slightest mistake could result in severe bleeding.
Ming Jiayi's technique was exceptionally skillful. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes, through her special glasses, were fixed on the vein she was gently holding.
About seven hours passed...
It was already daylight outside.
The surgery was successfully completed.
As dawn breaks, so does the hope for life.
Ming Jiayi yawned lazily.
She was sitting in the cardiologist's office, enjoying a delicious breakfast.
