Chapter 1821: Chapter 148: Southern Tall Trees

Qiao Qiao glanced at Qin Shaonan with lingering fear, gradually feeling less anxious.

Qin Shaonan tightly held her hand.

Feeling his warmth, Qiao Qiao stood still at the entrance of the operating room, waiting together with him for the door to open.

A few minutes later, Grandma Qiao was wheeled out of the operating room.

Lu Bo followed, taking off his disposable medical gloves and mask, looking at Qiao Qiao and Qin Shaonan, "The surgery was very successful."

Qin Shaonan, "Thank you very much."

Lu Bo looked at Qin Shaonan, "Getting a thank you from you is not easy."

Qin Shaonan, "It’s thank you very much, not just thank you."

Lu Bo, "It’s all the same."

With that, his gaze fell on Qiao Qiao.

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

Lu Bo, "I’ll go rest now, take good care of the patient."

Qiao Qiao, "Got it."

She was delighted, feeling as if her body had become light with happiness, like a feather, as she followed the stretcher cart with Qin Shaonan to the ward.

Qin Shaonan helped the male medical staff push the stretcher, both of them carefully transferring Grandma to the bed in the ward. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Qiao Qiao watched from the side.

The nurse quickly arranged the IV pole and administered several more sets of medication, then looked at Qin Shaonan and Qiao Qiao, "The patient’s quite elderly, she might take a while to wake up, but don’t worry, her vitals were stable in the recovery room."

Qiao Qiao looked at the nurse, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qiao Qiao had trained here before and knew the nurse.

The nurse patted her shoulder, "Take good care of the patient."

She then left.

Qiao Qiao finally came to her senses and looked at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan pulled her closer and asked, "Feeling relieved?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head, as her grandmother hadn’t woken up yet.

Qin Shaonan sat there with her, waiting until Grandma woke up, then stood up and left the ward to give them some space.

When Grandma saw Qin Shaonan leave, she thought—

Such a wonderful child, so flawless!

Recalling the hurtful things Ci Wan said, those words were as awful as could be.

Looking at Qiao Qiao, she felt grateful that she was alive!

She wanted to see Qiao Qiao happy!

Otherwise, who does Qiao Qiao have in this world besides her?

Sigh, she even doubted if Qiao Qiao was Ci Wan’s own daughter.

But then she remembered witnessing Qiao Qiao’s birth, watching her being carried out of the delivery room, and felt much calmer, raising her hand to gently stroke Qiao Qiao’s cheek.

She thought she might never see her beloved granddaughter again!

Throughout the surgery, she had been very nervous and scared.

Afraid that once she closed her eyes, she wouldn’t wake up again, she fought against the anesthesia for a long time.

Due to her age, she couldn’t even have much anesthesia.

Only after a long while did she calm down, moving her hand off Qiao Qiao’s face, "Alright, go check on Shaonan."

Qiao Qiao whispered an "mm," left the ward, saw him standing on the balcony making a call, and sat on the sofa waiting.

After a while, Qin Shaonan hung up the phone. His eyes, initially cold and intimidating, softened the moment he saw Qiao Qiao.

Qin Shaonan walked over, looking at Qiao Qiao, "Something’s up at the base, I have to head back in a bit."

Qiao Qiao leaned into his arms, "Okay."

Qin Shaonan looked at Qiao Qiao, "I have another half an hour."
