Chapter 1736: Chapter 1754: Tall Trees in the South (65)

Upon hearing these simplest words, Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Shaonan, feeling a sense of unease in her heart.

Want to talk to her?

Is grandma in serious condition?

She wanted to ask, but didn’t have the courage to speak out.

Qin Shaonan looked at Qiao Qiao, "I don’t know either, but from the tone of voice, it shouldn’t be too tricky. Should we go there now?"

Qiao Qiao gazed at Qin Shaonan, her heartbeat gradually slowing down because of his words, as if she had taken a Sedative Pill, and nodded.

Qin Shaonan took her hand, picked up a coat from the side, and helped her put it on.

Qiao Qiao slung her backpack over her shoulder, pouting as she looked at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan lowered his gaze, eyes dark as ink, "Don’t look at other men with those eyes in the future."

Qiao Qiao, "Why not?"

Qin Shaonan, "That’s an order, no why."

Qiao Qiao smoothed her long hair, "I’m not your soldier."

Qin Shaonan spoke as they walked, "You’re not my soldier, but you’re mine."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She didn’t know why, but hearing "you’re mine," brought an unusual sweetness to her heart.

...

An hour later, Qin Shaonan took Qiao Qiao to the hospital and first went to Lu Bo’s office.

Lu Bo, seeing the two appear together, barely glanced at Qiao Qiao, "Have a seat, the test reports are all out; I’ve seen them."

Qiao Qiao looked at Lu Bo, "Can it be cured?"

Lu Bo looked at Qiao Qiao, "Surgery is needed, a kidney transplant."

Qiao Qiao’s mind went blank, feeling dazed, staring at Lu Bo.

Lu Bo looked at Qiao Qiao, "The situation isn’t that bad; complete recovery is possible after surgery. We called you here to confirm; if family agrees, our hospital will start looking for compatible organs."

Qiao Qiao nodded, "I agree, but the surgery fee..."

Before finishing her sentence, Qin Shaonan’s voice came from beside her, "Didn’t I give you a card? After paying the admission fee, there should still be money left."

Qiao Qiao recalled she hadn’t checked the balance after paying the admission fee last time.

Qin Shaonan looked at Lu Bo, "You’re the lead surgeon, right?"

Lu Bo, "Of course I am."

Qin Shaonan turned around, eyes sweeping over Qiao Qiao’s face, "He’s competent in this area; if there’s an issue with the surgery, I’ll hold him accountable."

Lu Bo, "..."

Faced with a personal threat, how can one practice medicine calmly?

He looked at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan, "Don’t have confidence in yourself?"

Lu Bo, "Are you joking with me?"

...

Qiao Qiao sat beside, listening, feeling like she couldn’t get a word in.

Lu Bo looked at Qiao Qiao, "Then the hospital will proceed to find a matching kidney organ for the patient."

Qiao Qiao looked at Lu Bo, "Thank you, Doctor Lu."

Lu Bo, "That’s the duty of a doctor!"

Qin Shaonan stood up.

Qiao Qiao followed him out, and they went to Grandma Qiao’s ward.

Grandma was surprised to see them coming, "Isn’t today Monday?"

Qiao Qiao sat beside her, "Can’t I come see grandma on Monday?"

Grandma, "I have no objection to you coming every day, but don’t let it interfere with your studies."

Qiao Qiao, "It’s military training every day, so there are no classes yet."

Thinking of the surgery, she feared grandma’s refusal, so she didn’t mention it first.

Grandma looked at Qin Shaonan, "Qiao Qiao wasn’t too mischievous during military training, was she?"

Qin Shaonan, "She’s doing alright."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She turned to look at Qin Shaonan, wasn’t that implying she was mischievous?

During military training she behaved well, alright? Even if she occasionally teased him, that was outside of training, okay?
