The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

Zhou Liguang's body stiffened abruptly, and his jawline tightened instantly.

This is his most embarrassing and least desirable scar.

He instinctively wanted to shrink back.

"Let me do it, let me do it!" Liu Hongmei was afraid that her son would be stubborn and anger this "lifeline," so she quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully and with a pained expression, rolled up her son's wide military pants little by little to his thighs.

Qiao Xinxin looked down, and even though she had witnessed countless horrific scenes on the operating table in her previous life, she couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

The injury to her leg was far more shocking than she had imagined!

A grotesque, twisted, dark red scar, resembling a giant centipede, slashed down from above his knee, the wound, where the flesh had rolled back and healed, extending all the way down to his calf!

Seeing his severely injured legs completely exposed to the air, Zhou Liguang's breath hitched. Embarrassed, he turned his face away abruptly, gripping the edge of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

Qiao Xinxin showed not a trace of pity or disgust; her eyes instantly turned as cold and stern as a professional doctor's.

She stretched out her hands and pressed down inch by inch along Zhou Liguang's shinbone from bottom to top.

"Can you feel it here?" She pressed on the area above her ankle.

Zhou Liguang kept his eyes closed, his voice hoarse: "No."

Move your fingertips up and press on the deep scar in the middle of your calf where the bone is visible.

"And here?"

"...A little."

"What does it feel like? Is it a stinging, aching, or a tingling numbness like being pricked with needles?"

"...like being pricked with needles."

Qiao Xinxin asked extremely detailed questions, and her hand movements were professional and precise, following the acupoints and meridians, not missing any hidden pain points.

After completing the palpation, she stood up and turned to Liu Hongmei: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Liu, could you show me Comrade Zhou's medical records and X-rays from the main hospital?"

"Yes! Yes! They're all here!" Liu Hongmei quickly took out a thick brown paper bag from the drawer and handed it over.

Qiao Xinxin pulled out a few black and white X-ray films, squinted at the light from the window, and examined them carefully. She also quickly scanned the pages of medical records.

After finishing all this, she repacked the documents and felt confident.

She turned around, her eyes clear as she looked at Zhou's parents, and her words were astounding: "I heard that Comrade Zhou's leg was injured on the border battlefield?"

Liu Hongmei's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Xinxin took a deep breath, her tone firm and serious: "Based on the scans and my examination, I can confirm with 100% certainty that Comrade Zhou's knees have extremely severe comminuted fractures. Not only that, but the surrounding tendons and neurons have also suffered devastating traction damage."

"To tell you the truth, if you had intervened six months later, by the time his nerves were completely dead and his muscles had atrophied, even if a miracle worker came, he would have been stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of his life."

Hearing these merciless words, Liu Hongmei was not angry at all; instead, a flame of wild joy suddenly ignited in her heart!

She grabbed her husband's arm, her voice trembling, and cried out, "Old Zhou, listen to this! Listen to this! That's exactly what the doctor at the hospital said!"

She turned to look at Qiao Xinxin, her eyes filled with genuine awe: "That's why those old experts said there's no cure! They said that with current medical technology, it's impossible to reconnect severed nerves and such severe bone fragments, and even after several major surgeries, it still won't heal..."

"Comrade Qiao!" Liu Hongmei even changed her form of address, her expression extremely cautious. "Are you saying... is there really a way to save him?!"

Qiao Xinxin looked at the family of three, whose eyes were identical, like those of people on the verge of death craving oxygen, and nodded heavily.

"There is a way to treat it."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap that exploded in the Zhou family's living room!

"But as I said yesterday, there's no guarantee of success. Because he missed the optimal treatment period, and there are adhesions from his previous surgery, his leg needs a complete 'bone removal and reconstruction' surgery to stand up again!"

Qiao Xinxin stared intently at Zhou Liguang: "This means that we have to cut open the old wound and break the deformed bone to heal. The pain of this process is no less than being skinned alive! Moreover, if it fails, there is a risk of amputation to save your life."

"Now, I'll ask one last time."

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to have this surgery?"

"want!!!"

As soon as Qiao Xinxin finished speaking, Zhou Liguang, like a wolf that had been lying in wait for a long time and finally smelled blood, roared out the word without thinking!

He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes flashing with a terrifying light as he stared intently at Qiao Xinxin.

"As long as I can stand up, I'll endure anything, even being skinned alive or boiled in oil!" He spoke each word clearly, his voice hoarse yet booming, "Comrade Qiao, please perform the surgery on me!"

Qiao Xinxin looked at the man's unwavering gaze, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

She slammed the small medicine box shut and nodded: "Okay."

She picked up her medicine kit and walked out, turning back before leaving to say, "Give me three days. I need to prepare some special equipment and medicine. I will come back in three days to give you formal treatment."

"For the next three days, Comrade Zhou must maintain an absolutely light diet, avoiding spicy and greasy foods, and drink plenty of water to get his body into the best possible condition."

"Okay! Okay! I'll definitely do it! Thank you, Xin Xin!"

Zhou Zejun personally stepped forward and opened the door.

Even now, he still finds it absurd—a twenty-year-old girl performing a surgery that even the General Hospital of the Military Region dares not accept!

But seeing the light rekindled in his son's eyes, he swallowed all his doubts.

At least, this girl gave Li Guang a real reason to live today!

The three of them escorted Qiao Xinxin to the gate of the compound, watching her slender figure disappear around the street corner, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

If it can really be cured... then the Zhou family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!

But if it can't be cured... I'm afraid Li Guang will really suffer to death for the rest of his life.

……

Qiao Xinxin felt that time was passing very slowly while she was working in the pharmacy in the afternoon.

She finally made it to the end of her shift, immediately changed out of her white coat, and rushed out of the store like a gust of wind.

He hurried back to the Bai family's tenement building under the cover of night, went upstairs, opened the door, went inside, and locked the door in one smooth motion!

"Splash—"

She quickly drew the thick curtains shut, making sure not even a fly could see inside, before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.

A thought flashed through my mind.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in that mysterious space that belonged only to her!
