Song Lan smiled helplessly and said, "I've said it more than once: as a doctor, it's my responsibility and duty to treat and save lives. Patients don't need to thank me. It doesn't matter who you are. You must remember that this time."
His gaze shifted to the three of them, including Grandpa Lu: "And you, Grandpa Lu, remember that too!"
"Alright, we old guys will definitely remember this!"
"Old Master Lu said with a smile."
Grandpa Luo, Grandpa He, and Grandpa Jiang all nodded in unison, clearly agreeing with what Grandpa Lu had said.
"Now I will examine each of you individually."
As she spoke, Song Lan activated her "Golden Eyes," walked to Old Master Lu's bedside, glanced at the surgical wound, then sat down on the chair beside the bed and began to take his pulse.
The ward was quiet. After Song Lan finished taking Old Master Lu's pulse, her gentle voice rang out, informing him of his current condition. She then examined his surgical incision and said:
"You're recovering very well. If you rest for another week or so, you'll have no problem going home for the Spring Festival."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lu was naturally overjoyed. Being able to be discharged from the hospital early and go home to celebrate the New Year with his family was definitely a joyous occasion!
"Grandpa Luo."
When Song Lan arrived at Grandpa Luo's bedside, she first greeted him, then checked the surgical incision and found nothing abnormal. She then sat down to take Grandpa Luo's pulse.
About two or three minutes later, she said, "You can be discharged in a couple of days."
Without a doubt, Grandpa Luo was delighted and repeatedly said "good".
When it was Mr. He's turn, his situation was similar to Mr. Lu's, since the two had surgery one after the other, and their wounds were almost identical in terms of recovery.
Grandpa Luo was overjoyed to learn that he could also spend the Lunar New Year with his family at home.
"I'll have to spend the Lunar New Year in the hospital, there's no doubt about that, right?"
When Grandpa Jiang saw Song Lan come to his bedside, he sighed and said, "Now that your Grandpa Lu and the others have been discharged, I'm left alone in this ward. Just thinking about it makes me feel so lonely and cold!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan burst out laughing: "Grandpa Jiang, you're so funny!"
The three old men, including Grandpa Lu, burst into laughter in unison. Grandpa Luo said, "Old Jiang, is it possible that you're the only one left to spend the New Year in such a big hospital? If so, what about the medical staff on duty and the inpatients?"
"You old Luo, you deliberately misunderstood me. Just wait, once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll definitely come over and have a good spar with you!"
Grandpa Jiang glared at Grandpa Luo's bed.
"I give up! I give up. My arms and legs are too old for me to suffer!"
Grandpa Luo replied.
"Why don't you two arm wrestle?"
Mr. He made the suggestion.
"Old Jiang wants to spar with me, in other words, we need to go to the training ground to fight. It's not something that can be solved by arm wrestling."
With a broad smile, Grandpa Luo didn't feel that admitting defeat was a loss of face at all. He said, "I admit defeat to Old Jiang from the bottom of my heart. After all, when we were young, I was no match for Old Jiang in terms of fighting skills."
"Grandpa Jiang, let me take your pulse now."
As Song Lan spoke, she reached out to take Grandpa Jiang's pulse.
After a while, she withdrew her hand, glanced at Grandpa Jiang's head casually, and then said, "Your physical condition has improved compared to yesterday. I will give you a few more days of treatment, and you will be able to go to the operating table."
Grandpa Jiang: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
"You're being too polite with me again!"
As soon as Song Lan said this, laughter immediately filled the ward from the other three old men.
"Old Jiang, can't you remember or what?"
Grandpa Luo teased Grandpa Jiang.
"What's it to you?!"
Grandpa Jiang glanced at Grandpa Luo, snorted, and made it seem like he didn't want to talk to Grandpa Luo anymore.
Seeing this, Old Master Luo's laughter, which had just subsided, rang out again.
"Lanlan, go tell Old Man Su that there's an old guy in our ward who's gone mad. He likes to laugh all the time, and it gives people the creeps."
Grandpa Jiang is making fun of Grandpa Luo.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Luo immediately stopped laughing and glared at Old Master Jiang with extreme resentment.
But he didn't even get a glance from Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Lu and Grandpa He were amused by the interaction between the two old friends.
Song Lan did the same, but she didn't laugh out loud; instead, a distinct curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, in the neurosurgery department, Mu Ting had no patients to see, but he was not idle. He sat at his desk, looking at the surgical plan for Grandpa Jiang that he had borrowed from Song Lan.
Suddenly, he heard a tapping sound on his desk, followed by a woman's voice: "Are you free tomorrow?"
"..."
Mu Ting looked up at the source of the voice, his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
What kind of look is that?
Yao Qingwan's eyes were tinged with a hint of resentment as she said, "I asked you if you were free tomorrow because I wanted to ask you to come with me to the department store. The New Year is just around the corner, and I want to buy some New Year's goods for my family."
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, my parents are being transferred back to Beijing for work in the next couple of days. I'll take you to meet them later, what do you think?
“We are just ordinary colleagues. I don’t feel obligated to accompany Dr. Yao to go shopping at any department store, nor do I have any reason to go with you to meet your parents.”
Mu Ting had no feelings for Yao Qingwan from the bottom of his heart; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't still be in a relationship. He had thought about it more than once to see if he had done anything that might have caused her to misunderstand, but the result was no.
