"Ning Xi, how is your second cousin?"
Mrs. Xiang had been waiting at the door of the ICU since early morning. Even though Ning Xi said Xiang Chuandong would be fine, as a mother, she was still worried.
"Don't worry, Auntie. The condition is stable. Apart from the post-operative edema, there are no other dangerous complications. He should wake up soon."
"That's good." Madam Xiang nodded. In just one day, she seemed to have aged a lot. Her previously well-maintained delicate face now had several more wrinkles, and even her back was a little bent.
Ning Xi grabbed her hand, but before she could say anything comforting, the nurse in charge of Xiang Chuandong came out and said, "Doctor Ning, the patient is awake!"
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Xiang's worried eyes immediately brightened up and she looked at Ning Xi.
Ning Xi was also happy for her and said, "Let's go in and take a look together."
"Oh, okay! Okay!" Mrs. Xiang nodded immediately.
Then he followed Ning Xi to the other side to change into isolation clothing, and then entered the ICU ward together.
Xiang Chuandong's entire head was wrapped in gauze and was in the post-operative edema stage, which looked like a big winter melon on his neck, which was a bit funny.
His eyes were so swollen that only a slit remained. When he heard footsteps approaching, he subconsciously turned his gaze to look over.
"Second brother, how do you feel?" Mrs. Xiang burst into tears when she saw him like this.
"Mom..." Having escaped death, Xiang Chuandong was obviously very excited to see her, and even his eyes were wet.
"You silly child, why didn't you listen to me? I told you not to go look for that woman, and you..."
Madam Xiang wanted to reprimand him, but when she saw the tears rolling down her son's eyes, she couldn't bear to say anything more. She just said, "Fortunately, Xiaoxi is such a skilled doctor. If she hadn't saved you, you would have died! When you get better, remember to thank your cousin!"
Xiang Chuandong opened her mouth and looked at Ning Xi behind her.
Ning Xi nodded slightly to him and called him second cousin.
He opened his mouth to look towards Chuandong, but no answer came out.
Because he felt ashamed.
He had said that about Ning Xi before, but reality slapped him hard in the face, and he almost lost his life!
Ning Xi didn't care. She performed some examinations on him as usual. After making sure that he was awake, she told the nurse to go.
When Mrs. Xiang saw her son like this, she immediately guessed what he was thinking.
He couldn't help but sigh and said, "You kid... Oh, forget it, it's all in the past. From now on, just treat your cousin as a family member!"
Xiang Chuandong then responded sullenly.
Because he had just woken up, it was not appropriate to talk too much, so Ning Xi quickly brought Madam Xiang out.
"Xiao Xi, go back to the department first. I'll call your uncle and cousin to reassure them." Mrs. Xiang came out and said.
"Well, aunt, Xiying's condition is already very good. If you want her to go home early and reunite with Xiaobao, she can be discharged from the hospital now." Ning Xi gave her another good news.
"Really? Then ask your cousin to come and get Yingying discharged from the hospital so she can go home to recuperate and stay with Xiaobao." Mrs. Xiang said.
"Okay, I'll tell my cousin the details after he comes to check out of the hospital."
"well!"
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Xiang in the ICU, Ning Xi went straight back to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
When Head Nurse Sun saw her coming, she immediately came over to deliver the news, "Director Ling has been waiting for you in Director Qi's office since early morning, and he hasn't left yet."
"Dean Ling? What does he want to talk to me about?"
"I don't know."
"Okay, thank you, head nurse. I'll go check it out right away." After talking to the head nurse, Ning Xi went directly to Professor Qi's office.
After knocking on the door, I heard a voice from inside: "Come in."
"Professor Qi."
"Oh, Xiaoning, you're here."
"Well, I just went to the ICU to check on Xiang Chuandong's condition, so I came late."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." Professor Qi was very happy to see her. He had also heard about her performing a ten-hour operation yesterday and saving Xiang Chuandong.
Moreover, it was Director Yan of the Neurosurgery Department who said this in person to him, which brought a lot of honor to their department and made him look very happy at work today.
Of course, he would be happier if there wasn't this annoying old man standing in his office so early in the morning.
Ning Xi smiled and said it was not hard, then looked to the side, where Dean Ling was smiling kindly and amiably, like the Maitreya Buddha.
“…”
Just, what's the matter with that being a little creepy?
"Dean Ling." No matter what she was thinking, Ning Xi still politely greeted the other party first.
"Hey, Doctor Ning, please come over here! I heard how hard you worked yesterday. If you hadn't come, the patient would have been in danger!
As expected, our hospital still needs great doctors like you! " Dean Ling was immediately delighted when she called him, and immediately waved and praised her.
Ning Xi smiled awkwardly but politely.
Professor Qi, however, was less gracious. He scoffed and said, "I don't know who it was a few days ago who wanted to suspend our Xiao Ning. So, we're not going to do it anymore?"
After being slapped in the face in public, Dean Ling's smile froze for a moment. He glanced at Professor Qi, then looked at Ning Xi and said, "Doctor Ning, we handled the matter that day improperly and it chilled your heart.
So today, on behalf of the hospital, I want to apologize to you! I hope you don't take it personally and continue to do what you want to do without any worries."
