You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Director Hu pointed to the chair opposite him, "Yu Ning came to me late last night to tell me about her situation. You're in a hurry to perform the surgery, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Hu."

Jiang Che politely handed over a bag of high-end tea he had bought downstairs.

Director Hu glanced at it and gestured for Jiang Che to just put it on the table. "Go and get these tests done first."

He quickly wrote out several forms and handed them to Jiang Che.

"Complete blood count, electrocardiogram, intraocular pressure... none of them can be omitted."

Jiang Che took the order and glanced at it, inwardly clicking his tongue in amazement.

Goodness, with this whole process, the normal queue would probably stretch into the afternoon, right?

But he never intended to take the conventional path.

"Mr. Hu, could you arrange for expedited service?"

Jiang Che smiled innocently, "Qinghe is weak and can't withstand any more stress. I want to get the results as soon as possible."

Director Hu glanced at him, seemingly having anticipated his response. "Yu Ning has already spoken to her. Go give the forms to the nurse in the corresponding examination department, and she will take you through the fast track."

"Thank you, Mr. Hu."

After thanking her, Jiang Che pulled Su Qinghe away from the office.

It has to be said that having money and connections makes things much easier.

The rest of the process was quick.

While others were still suffering through the long queues and waiting for their numbers to be called, Su Qinghe had barely arrived when the equipment was already there waiting for her.

Blood test, eye exam, eye pressure measurement...

There are dedicated staff to guide you throughout the entire process, so you don't have to waste time or effort.

Although Su Qinghe's blindness caused her some inconvenience in moving around, the examination went relatively smoothly under Jiang Che's guidance.

When the needle went in during the blood draw, she winced in pain, but she remained strong, biting her lip and not uttering a sound.

Jiang Che felt sorry for her and pressed her head into his arms to stop her from looking, even though she couldn't see anyway.

But feeling the warmth of Jiang Che's embrace, Su Qinghe did feel less pain and contentedly rubbed against his arm.

Before 11 o'clock, all the test results were available.

Jiang Che returned to Director Hu's office with a thick stack of reports.

Director Hu flipped through the papers one by one, his expression serious.

Su Qinghe sat beside her, her hands clasped together, her breathing becoming soft.

She felt that even prisoners waiting to be sentenced in court weren't as nervous as she was right now...

Several minutes later, Director Hu finally put down the last film.

"Not bad," the old man said sparingly, uttering just two words.

"The indicators have barely met the standards, but the situation is a little better than I expected."

Su Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then the surgery..." Jiang Che asked again.

"It can be done."

Director Hu took off his glasses and rubbed his temples. "There are risks, but I'm 70% confident."

70%.

In this field, this is already a fairly high probability.

"Then I'll trouble you." Jiang Che thanked him sincerely.

"Go and get admitted to the hospital."

Director Hu took off his glasses, rubbing his temples as he explained the precautions, "I've scheduled this girl's surgery for 3 p.m. Later, you'll take her to sign all the necessary forms."

"Also, no food or water before the surgery. Keep an eye on this girl; whatever she wants to eat can be eaten after the surgery."

"clear."

Jiang Che pulled Su Qinghe to her feet, and then bowed solemnly to Director Hu.

This bow is for Su Qinghe's sake.

Even after leaving the office, Su Qinghe's legs were still a little weak.

"So...it's settled?"

She could hardly believe it; everything had gone so smoothly, it felt like a dream…

A month ago, when she was blinded, she thought she would spend the rest of her life in darkness.

But now, she has less than a few hours left before she can regain her sight.

"It's settled."

Jiang Che released her small hand, then reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. "Were you nervous?"

"A little..."

Su Qinghe nodded, her palms sweaty, unsure whether it was from nervousness, excitement, or both.

Jiang Che was actually quite nervous, but he couldn't show it at this moment, as that would only make Su Qinghe more uneasy.

He smiled calmly and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll see your husband's handsome face."

"Narcissist..."

Su Qinghe muttered a curse under her breath, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upwards.

She also looked forward to seeing Jiang Che's appearance again, to seeing with her own eyes that were filled with her.

The two quickly arrived at the VIP ward.

The environment here is great, and all kinds of furniture and smart facilities are readily available.

It doesn't look like a hospital; it looks more like a luxury hotel suite.

There were hospital gowns prepared in advance by the nurses in the closet. Jiang Che first settled Su Qinghe down on the bedside, then went to the closet and took them out.

He walked back to Su Qinghe and said, "Take off your clothes."

Su Qinghe looked up, a little confused, her face quickly turning red with embarrassment. "Should...should we do it here?"

"?"

Jiang Che stared blankly at his girlfriend's flushed face for a moment, then realized what was going on and helplessly pinched her cheek.

"What are you thinking? I'm here to change you into a hospital gown."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe's previously shy face immediately flashed with deep disappointment. "Oh..."

She quickly took off all her clothes, and Jiang Che awkwardly glanced away, stiffly helping her change into a hospital gown.

After changing his clothes, he laid out the toiletries he had brought before sitting down next to Su Qinghe again.

Jiang Che's stomach rumbled. He glanced at the time; it was almost midnight.

"Are you hungry?" he asked, reaching out to touch Su Qinghe's lower abdomen.

Su Qinghe nodded, and her stomach growled twice in agreement.

"Just bear with it. After the surgery, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

Jiang Che himself didn't plan to eat; with his wife starving, how could he possibly eat?

Su Qinghe obediently hummed in agreement, and Jiang Che then helped her lie down on the hospital bed, telling her to rest a little longer.

The faint smell of disinfectant in the blankets calmed the girl, who had been feeling nervous and uneasy.

"Husband..." she suddenly called out.

"Um?"

Jiang Che was adjusting the TV for her when he heard this and turned around. "What's wrong?"

Su Qinghe blinked, her face full of anticipation. "Are you going to stay here with me the whole time?"

"Of course."

Jiang Che moved a chair to sit on the edge of the bed, took her hand and smiled, "I asked the teacher for a day off today, so I can stay here with you."

"I'm not going anywhere..."

Su Qinghe chuckled a few times, then grabbed his fingers with her own, their hands intertwined.

……

Time quickly passed to 2:30 PM.

Jiang Che lay down on the edge of the bed and took a nap. In his drowsy state, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Soon, the nurse's voice rang out from the foot of the bed—

"Patient Su Qinghe? Get ready, we're coming into the operating room right away."
