As they were talking, they heard Xia Chengzong, who stood at the doorway, suddenly say, "Huo Commander is here."
Xia Chuyi was startled: I forgot about him!
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xia was slightly stunned and exclaimed, "Has Huo Commander come to visit the sick again?"
The door was knocked lightly, it was Huo Shiqian with the hospital dean.
"Thank you for your trouble," Huo Shiqian said to the dean.
The dean nodded his head earnestly, stepped forward to perform a routine check on Zhao Xiaogui, and after the examination, said, "There are no abnormalities, just like Doctor Guo predicted."
Huo Shiqian nodded and said, "If there are any changes, I can ask Doctor Guo to come again."
He spoke as if Doctor Guo was an itinerant doctor by the roadside, ready to be summoned at any time.
"There won’t be any problems, there won’t be any problems. Doctor Guo’s medical skills are so superb, there won’t be any issues," the dean hurriedly nodded in response.
After speaking, he gave a few instructions to Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia, and then the dean left.
When the dean left, the atmosphere eerily quieted down.
After a while, Uncle Xia coughed and said in a dry voice, "Commander Huo, I really can’t thank you enough for today."
"Uncle, there’s no need for courtesy," Huo Shiqian replied in a tone that was calm and natural.
That "uncle" struck like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving Uncle Xia instantly dumbfounded.
The detail he had failed to notice due to concern for his son’s surgery suddenly became clear in his mind.
It had reached this point.
Anyone could tell that Doctor Guo had been specially requested by Huo Shiqian for Zhao Xiaogui.
And Huo Shiqian’s presence was by no means accidental.
He came to the hospital... for...
Uncle Xia stiffly turned his head to look at his niece.
Xia Chuyi, with an innocent face, bowed politely to Huo Shiqian, saying, "Thank you, Brother Shiqian."
Huo Shiqian, who hadn’t lost any of his dignified air despite staying up all night, glanced at Xia Chuyi with an extremely calm expression and said, "No need to thank me, this is what I should do."
The atmosphere on the scene became even more delicate.
Xia Chuyi lifted her head and continued to speak to him, "Brother Shiqian, you must have things to be busy with. I also have to step out, we might as well go together."
Then, she looked toward her uncle and said, "Well, Uncle, I will leave first with Brother Shiqian."
Her movements, expressions, and language were very natural, remarkably composed.
"... Take care," Uncle Xia’s heart felt like calm was yet to be restored, only for another wave to arise.
Huo Shiqian looked at her and also naturally nodded to Uncle Xia and the others, saying, "If Uncle has any issue, just talk to the doctor. I can get in touch with Doctor Guo at any time."
"... Thank you," Uncle Xia was so overwhelmed with shock that he can only force himself to say.
The two left the ward, one after the other, perfectly matched as if they were made for each other.
Xia Chengzong was left standing there, his expression complex.
Seeing him, Uncle Xia’s eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Chengzong, hurry up and go out with Chuyi, send off Commander Huo!"
"... Okay." Xia Chengzong, feeling as though he had fallen into a pit, awkwardly nodded his head.
In the corridor, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi were ahead, while Xia Chengzong followed behind with an increasingly complicated expression.
His cousin, she was really involved with this big military officer? Tsk, not involved, but had a connection, ah tsk, not just a connection, it was...
Forget it, Xia Chengzong couldn’t figure it out.
"Chuyi, I’ll go back to the store to tidy up first!" he suddenly shouted towards the front and with a few swift steps, passed the two individuals.
