Chapter 64 successfully completed.
Zhuo Tong had just stood up when Zhuo Lingshan, anxious and nervous, rushed forward and approached the nurse.

"Nurse, how did the surgery go? Is my mom alright? Everything will go smoothly, right?"

The nurse smiled gently.
"You must be a family member of the patient, right? Don't worry, the surgery went very smoothly, but the patient still needs to stay in the hospital for observation and postoperative care, and cannot be discharged for the time being."

"One more thing, the patient has just completed surgery and is expected to wake up in two or three days. During this period, there may be complications, which we will deal with promptly."

"Thank you, nurse."

Zhuo Tong pressed his sister's head down, and together they bowed deeply towards the nurses and the operating room.

……

"Within the first hour after the surgery, we will measure blood pressure, pulse, respiration and other data every 15 minutes and continue to observe and check whether these indicators are stable."

"We will also check the surgical wound every hour to see if there is any bleeding, redness or swelling. If the dressing needs to be changed, please be careful not to touch the wound and keep the surrounding area clean."

Inside the ward, the head nurse was explaining the post-operative precautions to Zhuo Tong and his sister in great detail.

The two were completely focused, afraid of missing any detail, and knew exactly what they should and shouldn't do.

It can also prevent me from acting on my own wishful thinking in the future, resulting in good intentions gone wrong and hurting my mother instead.

Chen Qiuhong had just been transferred from the operating room to the ward, and Zhuo Tong did not dare to do anything extra except assist the nurses with the transfer.

After all, when it comes to medicine, laypeople are prone to making mistakes. Without the guidance of doctors and nurses, how could anyone dare to act recklessly?

"Before the patient wakes up, they can only be fed glucose saline solution by injection. If there is an emergency, remember to press the call button."

"Okay, thank you, we've got it."

After the head nurse left, Zhuo Tong finally felt relieved and plopped down in a chair, letting out a long sigh of relief.

The entire surgery lasted for more than six hours.

At the beginning, I was in a somewhat good mood, chatting with my sister and checking my phone.

For the rest of the time, Zhuo Tong didn't dare to breathe loudly, sitting quietly in front of the operating room waiting.

He really didn't want to experience that restless anxiety a second time.

"You must take care of your health from now on. If you feel unwell, see a doctor promptly, okay?"

"Know it."

Zhuo Lingshan sat on the other side of the hospital bed, leaning on the bed railing, gazing at her mother.

"Brother, the nurse just said that Mom won't wake up for another two or three days. I don't have any classes right now, so I'll just stay in the ward and keep an eye on her. I don't want to go back to my dorm anyway."

Now that she had decided to move out of the dormitory, Zhuo Lingshan no longer hid her aversion to returning to that place.

“Okay, I’ll come over when I have time. If you need money, let me know, or you can pay first and get reimbursed later with the receipt.”

"My brother is so stingy! He has fourteen million, but he only gave me ten thousand!"

Zhuo Lingshan pouted and said angrily:

"When Mom wakes up, I'll tell her everything, hmph~"

"What are you saying? I'm just worried that you'll develop a bad habit of wasting money. Kids really don't understand our good intentions."

Just as the two were about to continue bickering, Zhuo Tong's phone rang at an inopportune moment.

But after seeing the caller's name, Zhuo Tong put a finger to her lips, signaling Zhuo Lingshan not to speak yet, before finally speaking:
"Hello Dr. Bai, I'm in the ward now, what's wrong?"

"Come to my office."

"Okay, I'll go there now."

The conversation between the two was brief, especially Bai Wei's tone, which, in addition to her usual indifference, revealed a clear hint of fatigue.

It seems that several hours of continuous surgery is quite exhausting, even for a young doctor like her.

"Being a doctor, especially in clinical practice, is really tough." "Brother, is that the doctor's phone number?"

"Yes, that's Dr. Bai, the surgeon who performed the operation on our mother."

"Did she want to talk to you about something? I'd like to go see her, at least to say thank you or give her a gift."

Zhuo Tong thought for a moment. His mother had just undergone surgery, so she would most likely need to explain the surgery, as well as the follow-up treatment and care.

Even if I bring my younger sister along, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

"Alright, then you go buy a bouquet, I'll go to her clinic first."

"Hey? Aren't you coming along?"

"No, I'm not good at giving gifts, and I don't know how to choose flowers."

"Okay, I'll ask you for reimbursement later."

Before leaving, Zhuo Tong went to the nurses' station to give the nurses some instructions and left his phone number once again.

My mother had just undergone surgery and nurses were constantly checking on her. I only went to Bai Wei to listen to her about the treatment, which didn't take up much of my time.

Soon, he returned to the familiar cardiology clinic for the third time.

He knocked on the door politely as before, and only opened it after hearing Bai Wei say "Come in" in a clear voice.

Just like when Zhuo Tong first met her, Bai Wei was sitting in her seat, constantly flipping through the medical records and reports of other patients.

Really dedicated.

However, this time, before Zhuo Tong even got close, she had already tidied up the other patients' information on the table, and then looked up at Zhuo Tong.

His face looked tired and he seemed a little flustered. His pale lips moved slightly a few times, but he didn't say anything.

They had just had an unpleasant argument yesterday, and Bai Wei herself hadn't figured out how to face Zhuo Tong yet.

After all, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she had never let conflicts with men affect her mood before.

She was still wondering if Zhuo Tong would be like her.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhuo Tong acted completely in a businesslike manner, not only unaffected but also quite composed.

Fortunately, Zhuo Tong was quick-witted enough to understand people's clothing and eased the awkward atmosphere in the consultation room by speaking up:

"Dr. Bai, you called me here to explain my mother's surgery, right?"

"Ah."

Bai Wei came to her senses and took out a stack of papers.

The top section contains the surgical record and a review of the surgical results, while the bottom section details the postoperative medication and rehabilitation instructions.

"I've finished the postoperative pathology report in the last couple of days. The surgery went very smoothly, so don't worry too much."

“I also visit her ward regularly to check on the healing of her wound.”

Bai Wei's gaze darted around, occasionally glancing at Zhuo Tong, wanting to see his reaction.

She said this to tell Zhuo Tong that she would often visit his mother's hospital room, so that the two of them could have more opportunities to interact besides having serious discussions about her condition.

As Zhuo Tong listened to Bai Wei's story, he simply nodded slightly, keeping his eyes fixed on the few sheets of paper in his hand, showing no intention of paying any attention to Bai Wei.

Are you... angry with me?

"No, Dr. Bai is the savior who saved my mother. How could I possibly be angry with you?"

Although that's what they said, their tone was one of utmost respect and disdain.

Bai Wei's eyes darkened, and she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the consultation room.
