Chapter 115 Stars are... rare treasures
The nurse and assistant beside him saw Shi Mo's hand pause and asked cautiously:
"Doctor Shi, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Shi Mo's pupils shrank and he shook his head gently: "It's okay... Gauze, thank you."
His heartbeat slowed down even more.
The blood dyed the gauze red. Inside the small body, the heart was only half the size of an adult's.
Again and again, it beats beautifully and charmingly.
Like a rose that is about to bloom.
Shi Mo's movements were extremely skillful. He inserted the endoscope into the tiny incision and looked back and forth at the heart for a long time.
It seems that he is observing the situation carefully.
In the operating room, even Shi Mo's breathing could not be heard.
Every time he performed an operation, he was extremely relaxed. This was the first time his assistant had seen him be so serious and meticulous.
Shi Mo hooked his fingertips slightly, and the sharp scalpel cut open his heart.
Every millimeter is under his control.
The surgery that Shi Mo performed on Xingxing to repair the congenital ventricular septal defect in his heart was a surgery in which he could use drugs to stop the heart and perform extracorporeal circulation with an artificial heart and lung placed outside the body.
Most doctors would choose this approach.
Shi Mo didn't.
He didn't stop Xingxing's heart, so it would be much more difficult to cut her.
But even so, his hands were eerily steady.
It seems to rise and fall along with that little heart.
Cut open, find the defect, add the patch, and sew it up.
His movements were incredibly skillful, as if he had rehearsed them in his mind a thousand times.
When he was sewing the last layer of skin, his movements slowed down.
His fingers paused, as if he was thinking about something.
"Doctor Shi?" The nurse looked at him strangely again.
I didn't expect that even though Shi Mo was wearing a mask, it was still very obvious that he was smiling.
And it wasn't his usual gentle smile, it seemed more... passionate?
Shi Mo shook his head slightly, his voice also carrying a smile:
"Sorry, I was a little distracted... I just think it's perfect."
Everyone around laughed: "Yes, this operation was indeed perfect."
"Which surgery of Dr. Shi was not perfect?"
"The detector did not show any abnormalities at all, and the amount of anesthesia used was also accurate. This is textbook proof!"
"With such success, Xingxing will probably be able to jump around in two months."
"Thanks to Dr. Shi!"
Shi Mo smiled as he finished sewing the last piece and responded softly:
"Yes, I am so sorry."
If it weren't for him, who else could appreciate such a perfect heart?
Xingxing is really a treasure.
He seemed to be in a state of depression too.
A child's heart is fully developed by the time they are 18 years old, but at 14 or 15 years old, it is not much different from an adult...
He thought that waiting until he was eighteen would definitely be too long.
Ten years then.
For ten years, I held the star in my hands, giving her the best protection, the warmest love, and the most perfect education.
Then exchange it for a dirty heart.
Isn’t it reasonable?
Moreover, a person will not die without a heart. He will install an artificial heart for her so that she can live well.
Shi Mo had already made a silent agreement with Xing Xing in his heart.
For a moment, he seemed to feel that his life had come full circle.
Something you have been pursuing for years suddenly appears at your doorstep without any effort.
His current life goal is to protect Xingxing and let her grow up happily.
The operating light came on, and Shi Mo, with a smile on his face, pushed Xingxing's bed out for the first time.
As soon as I came out, I saw my father's cold and narrow eyes, and his brows that showed obvious relief.
"Dad, don't worry. The operation was very successful. He will be discharged from the hospital in a week and will be able to play with other children in two months."
Shen Chenzhou closed his eyes and then realized that his palm was painful.
When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse:
"nice."
He felt that he had lost his composure, became a little angry, and was ready to turn around and leave.
Shi Mo's voice suddenly rang out again:
"Father."
"What?" Shen Chenzhou asked in a low voice, and it was obvious that he was getting impatient.
He couldn't help looking up at the bed.
The child was very small, pale and fragile, with his eyes tightly closed, so it was impossible to tell whether he was breathing or not.
Shi Mo's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of pleading:
“Father said before that he would give the star away after the operation was completed.
"But she still needs good care and a long period of recovery.
"Can you please not send Xing Xing away yet and let me take good care of her?"
Shen Chenzhou raised his eyebrows and looked into Shi Mo's eyes.
Of course he knew that his adopted son was the most like him and the most cold-blooded, and it didn't seem like he cared about Xing Xing in such a short time.
Shi Mo bit the soft flesh in his mouth tightly and assumed the most normal posture.
It seems that he is just caring about his patients.
Shen Chenzhou nodded, not wanting to admit that Shi Mo's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
"Okay." He nodded slightly, turned and walked out.
Shi Mo took off his mask, looked at Xingxing lying on the hospital bed, and smiled with utmost doting and concern.
The nurses who were peeking out let out suppressed screams—
Ahhh, Dr. Shi looks so gentle. Woohoo. I wish they were stars!
-
Xingxing was pushed into the ICU. Because it was an open surgery, he needed to be observed for one to two days.
Originally, no one was allowed to enter the ICU casually, not even doctors.
But Shi Mo used all his connections to stay by Xingxing's side.
Here’s what he said:
"The child is so young and it hurts when she wakes up. If she finds herself in an unfamiliar environment, she will be very scared. I want to make sure that I am the first person she sees."
That's indeed the case.
Xingxing opened his eyes drowsily, and before he knew where he was, he felt a pair of soft hands touching his forehead.
Then there was a very gentle voice:
"Xingxing is awake. What a strong and good baby. Are you thirsty or hungry? But you can't eat yet."
Xingxing blinked and saw clearly that her fifth brother was sitting beside her bed.
The fifth brother wore a hat and a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes, but even from those eyes, one could feel the extreme gentleness——
Extremely dangerous.
The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, so Xingxing's wound doesn't hurt that much.
She swallowed and tried hard not to be afraid of her brother in her little head.
"Fifth brother..." She opened her mouth and realized that her voice was so soft and hoarse.
The meowing is like that of a kitten whose life is hanging by a thread.
Shi Mo seemed to be touched by the cuteness and started laughing too.
He used a cotton swab, dipped it in warm water, and gently smeared it on Xingxing's dry lips:
"Xingxing is the strongest and bravest baby in the world. The wound may hurt a lot later, but I will be with you. I will tell you a story, okay?"
The stars twinkled in their big eyes, their dark pupils were moist, clear and harmless. Perhaps even if they were killed, they would only look at each other like this.
She nodded obediently: "Okay...hungry..."
Shi Mo: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will make you something delicious. The bravest little star, hold on a little longer, okay?"
Then he picked up the fairy tale book and read the fairy tale in a soft voice.
But at this time, the gentle pervert does not know that perverts are also attracting perverts.
