"If I said no, would you believe me?" Xie Juan raised her head, the crow's feet by her eyes filled with tears .
She wasn't actually old, but she had been through too much these years, so she seemed to be quite elderly .
She wore low-quality clothes and ate low-quality food, her unsatisfactory life was all for her younger son .
One would be mistaken if they said she was heartless . . .
Maybe Ni Yang just had bad luck?
"If Shuai Shuai recovers from the surgery, I'll contact a local school for you and send him there, as for you… You should take some time to take care of Ni Yang . Although he's older now, his heart is still very fragile . If his depression relapses, he could have suicidal tendencies at any time . If you still have a mother's conscience, I hope you can treat him well . "
"Mhm . "
Xie Juan wasn't someone who beat around the bush, she agreed to Huo Mian's condition .
Huo Mian was good at reading people, and she believed that Xie Juan agreed not just because it was their original deal .
Xie Juan truly felt guilty and wanted to make it up to Ni Yang .
Three hours later, the OR doors opened .
"How was it?" Huo Mian walked up, looked at the leading surgeon and asked .
"It was very successful, he will be taken to the ICU for twenty-four hours of observation, but he should be fine . From then on, he should stay here for about half a month to see if there are any signs of rejection . "
"Okay, thank you," Huo Mian nodded and thanked the surgeons one by one . . .
They knew that she cared a lot about the child as well, so everyone tried their best .
Then, Shuai Shuai was pushed into the ICU .
"The surgery was very successful, we're waiting for the anesthesia to wear off now . He'll wake up, don't worry," Huo Mian slowly spoke and comforted Xie Juan .
Xie Juan looked at her younger son sleeping on the other side of the glass window, letting out a silent sigh of relief . . .
It was like unleashing burden that she had holed up in her heart for many years, and she suddenly felt as light as a feather .
At that moment, she did something nobody expected .
She turned around to face Huo Mian and knelt down .
"Ms . Xie, what are you doing?" Huo Mian couldn't be more surprised .
Without waiting for Huo Mian to speak, she kowtowed to Huo Mian three times .
Then, she nimbly got up and said, "I'm not sharp-tongued, I've never been to school, and I am uneducated . I don't know how to say this, but I am very thankful to you . You saved Shuai Shuai's life; you're our savior . "
"Ms . Xie, I'm not as noble as you say… I have Ni Yang as my condition for saving Shuai Shuai . "
Huo Mian never thought that she was noble, nor did she have a saint-like thought process .
She wouldn't go to other's aid as soon as she saw them suffer and didn't want the entire world to think that she was a philanthropist .
She agreed to help treat Shuai Shuai because of Ni Yang . . .
Ni Yang abandoned Imperial Star and signed with GK when GK fell into a crisis .
She will forever remember what he did for her and Qin Chu . . .
So, she really wanted to untie the knot in Ni Yang's heart . After finding Xie Juan and seeing what was happening, she couldn't just do nothing .
But one thing was for certain - she didn't do it because she wanted to be a nice person .
"I know… Even if you did it for Ni Yang's benefit, I am still grateful . Ni Yang and Shuai Shuai are both my sons . If you saved my son, you're my savior . I know that you're rich and don't care about that bit of money, and you have no use of me, but… I want to say that if I can't repay your mercy this life, I'll do it in my next…"
"Eh . . . Fine, fine, don't say that kind of stuff, even cheesy TV shows don't use these types of lines anymore, so you shouldn't either… Anyways, Shuai Shuai is fine now, you can rest assured . You can stay at the hospital for now . Call me if you need anything . "
After speaking, Huo Mian turned around to leave . . .
Xie Juan felt really appreciative looking at Huo Mian as she walked away . . .
Sometimes, someone who accidentally appeared in your tragic life might change it forever .
The saying was true in the case of Xie Juan . . .
- Outside South Side's OB/GYN Clinic -
"Eh? Dr . Huo?" A few gynecologists greeted her one after another .
Huo Mian's promotion from head nurse to a neurologist and the fact that she got a perfect score on her medical exams had spread throughout South Side like wildfire .
Huo Mian was like a god at South Side . . .
"Ahem… Uh… I want a checkup . "
"What kind of checkup?" a doctor asked .
