Going home for the Chinese New Year with a year-end bonus of 100 million

Just then, Lin's mother arrived, panting heavily.

Upon hearing the situation and finding out the amount of money involved, she swayed and her face drained of color.

"What...what are we going to do..." she murmured, tears welling in her eyes. "We...we don't have that much money..."

Seeing the mother and daughter's desperate and helpless expressions, Yang Fan walked over.

He patted Lin Xiaoyu on the shoulder, his voice steady and powerful.

"Auntie, Xiaoyu, don't panic."

"You stay here with your uncle, I'm going to pay the bill."

"You don't need to worry about money at all. We'll treat him normally. As long as we can cure Uncle's leg, nothing else will be a problem."

After saying that, he took the bill and turned to pay.

"elder brother!"

Lin Xiaoyu grabbed his arm, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.

"Brother...how much is it? I'll write you an IOU! I'll definitely pay you back later! Brother, thank you so much!"

Lin's mother also stood up, her lips trembling, and she could barely speak coherently.

"Xiao Fan... Auntie... Auntie really doesn't know what to say... It's all Auntie's fault for being so incompetent... I've troubled you too much..."

Yang Fan turned around and looked at the mother and daughter crying in front of him, and his heart softened.

"Auntie, Xiaoyu, what are you saying?"

"Xiaoya and Xiaoyu are best friends. You are my elders, and Xiaoyu is my younger sister."

"If I don't take care of your problems, who will?"

He reached out and gently patted Lin Xiaoyu's head to reassure them.

"Now is not the time to talk about money; getting Uncle's surgery is the most important thing."

After saying that, he didn't linger and strode towards the payment window.

Yang Fan quickly completed all the formalities, then went to consult with doctors and schedule the surgery. Everything proceeded smoothly under his arrangement.

Lin's father was wheeled into the operating room.

The red "Operation in Progress" sign lit up, like a branding iron, searing the hearts of the mother and daughter.

Although it was just a leg surgery, their concern made them lose their composure. The two sat on a bench in the corridor, their hands and feet icy cold, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Xiaoya held Lin Xiaoyu's hand tightly, constantly comforting her.

"Xiaoyu, Auntie, don't worry, Uncle will be fine. Modern medicine is so advanced, it's just a minor surgery to clean it up."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle and Aunt, don't worry. If things don't work out here, we'll go to the city, or even the province! As long as I'm here, I promise I'll heal Uncle's leg!"

After a long two hours, the operating room door finally opened.

A doctor came out and took off his mask.

Where are the patient's family members?

Lin Xiaoyu and her mother suddenly stood up and rushed over.

Seeing their nervous expressions, the doctor smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. The patient is fine, and the surgery was a success."

"The infection foci inside have been completely cleaned out. You need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. Just pay attention to a light diet and take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter's legs went weak and they almost couldn't stand up. Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Soon, Lin's father was wheeled out and taken to the private ward that Yang Fan had arranged in advance.

The nurse came over to start the IV drip, and after everything was settled, the ward finally quieted down.

As the anesthesia wore off, Lin's father woke up. He looked at the people gathered around his bed, his gaze finally settling on Yang Fan, and he weakly spoke:

"Xiao Fan... thank you... we wouldn't know what to do without you..."

"Uncle, what are you saying? Taking good care of your health is the most important thing."

Watching this scene, Lin Xiaoyu and her mother were filled with mixed emotions. Without Yang Fan, the consequences of what happened today would have been unimaginable. Their gratitude was beyond words.

Yang Fan looked at everyone and said, "Uncle just woke up, and none of you have eaten yet, have you? Xiaoya, you stay here with me, I'll go out and buy some food."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out.

Seeing this, Lin's mother quickly nudged her daughter beside her: "Xiaoyu, hurry, you go with Xiaofan."

Lin Xiaoyu blushed, but still nodded, stood up, and followed him out.

"Brother, wait for me."

In the corridor, she jogged to catch up with Yang Fan.

Yang Fan turned around, looked at her slightly flushed cheeks, and smiled: "Why are you out here, girl? Aren't you with your dad?"

"My mom is watching over my dad... I want to help you carry your things." Her voice was very soft, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Yang Fan in the eye.

"Okay." Yang Fan nodded.

The two walked downstairs side by side. The atmosphere was subtly quiet along the way. Lin Xiaoyu followed beside him, half a step behind, watching his broad back, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

This man usually seems gentle and mild-mannered, but when it comes to crucial moments, he's like a mountain—steady, reliable, and able to withstand any storm.

"Brother..." she finally mustered the courage to break the silence.

"Um?"

"Thank you so much for today."

"Don't talk nonsense again." Yang Fan glanced at her sideways. "I've already said we're family, there's no need to be so formal."

He looked at her and slowed his pace: "You're still in school, don't think too much. I'll take care of things at home."

Lin Xiaoyu hummed in agreement, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

As she approached the hospital entrance, she didn't notice a step under her feet, cried out in surprise, and nearly fell.

Yang Fan reacted quickly, stretching out his long arm to firmly support her arm.

Be careful.

The warmth of his hand traveled through her clothes, and Lin Xiaoyu's face instantly burned hot enough to fry an egg. She quickly steadied herself, pulled her hand away, and her heart pounded even faster.

After the two returned with the food, everyone gathered in the ward for a simple dinner.

After the meal, Xiaoya and Lin Xiaoyu were packing their things when Yang Fan said to them, "You guys go ahead with your work, I'm going out for a smoke."

He pushed open the door and went out, lighting a cigarette by the window at the end of the corridor.

A little while later, Xiaoya also came out.

She leaned against Yang Fan, looked at the night view outside the window, and sighed.

"Brother, I think Sister Xiaoyu works so hard."

"With Uncle Lin like this, Auntie is also very worried. It breaks my heart to see her like this."

Yang Fan took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"Yes, how could I not know that?"

Sometimes, life is like that, full of helplessness.

A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.

He turned his head and looked at his sister.

"Xiaoya, I have an idea."

"Brother, go ahead, I'm listening."

"Look, Xiaoyu is about to start school, and she can't keep taking leave. There's only one nanny at home taking care of Uncle, and if something happens, there won't be enough time to call for help."

"I was thinking... why don't we bring Uncle and the others along when we go to the provincial capital?"

"Since we're going to have to rent a place anyway, we'll rent one near our house. Auntie can come with my parents and see if she can help out at our stall, do some odd jobs, so she can earn some money and also take care of Uncle."

"This way, Xiaoyu can see her parents whenever she comes home for vacation. What do you think of this idea?"
