My Youth Began With Him

“Of course you can.” Huo Mian smiled.

“Can I run and long-jump?” Shuai Shuai batted his eyes innocently at Huo Mian.

“Yes, you can… when you get better, you’ll be able to do what everyone else does.”

“Yay, that’s great!” Shuai Shuai clapped.

Xie Juan turned around. “Dr. Huo, I made the congee and pancakes myself, if you don’t mind…”

“Sure, I haven’t had breakfast yet.” Huo Mian picked up a hand-pulled pancake and began eating it.

Then, she took a card out from her lab coat. “This is South Side’s meal card, I already put money in it. You can take Shuai Shuai there to eat and use this card. The food isn’t bad… Oh, right, don’t forget about the hours. Breakfast is from 6 AM to 8 AM, lunch is from 11 AM to 1 PM, and dinner is from 6 PM to 8 PM.”

“Thank you…” Xie Juan awkwardly licked her lips, seemingly embarrassed.

Huo Mian used to think that this woman was a vampire, out for Ni Yang’s money.

But now, Huo Mian realized that she wasn’t; she didn’t have the ability to accept the help of others with a clear conscience…

Just like everyone else in this world…

“By the way, you don’t have to take care of him 24/7… Shuai Shuai is preparing for surgery, so for the next few days, I will ask the night-shift nurse to take care of him with you. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. You need to get some rest as well, or else you’ll wear yourself out before your child gets better.”

“I know, I’ll listen to you, Dr. Huo.” Xie Juan was very trusting of and reliant on Huo Mian.

“I’m not a doctor yet, I’m just a head nurse in the Orthopedics Department.” Huo Mian corrected her.

“But a lot of people call you Dr. Huo.”

“That’s because…”

Huo Mian really didn’t know how to explain things…

She touched her nose helplessly…

Her adorable colleagues wanted her to pass her test, so they started calling her ‘doctor’.

Once she left the patient’s room, Huo Mian went looking for Department Director Qi at the Internal Medicine Department.

Huo Mian explained Shuai Shuai’s conditions to Director Qin; the good news was that the kid wasn’t in grave danger. However, they couldn’t keep stalling, and a kidney transplant was the key to solving the problem.

“Director Qi… will it be easy to find? Do we have any matching kidneys in our reserve?”

“Not at the moment, but we can ask Director Wu. He is the executive director of the Chinese Medical Association and has the right to move one reserve’s organs to another. I don’t think it’ll be a problem, and the kid needs surgery as soon as possible.”

“Okay, I’ll talk to Director Wu.”

Then, Huo Mian went back to her office and called Director Wu himself. Director Wu immediately agreed without a shadow of hesitation.

Shuai Shuai’s conditions obviously gave Huo Mian more work to do, but she never once complained.

He was Ni Yang’s family, and as soon as Shuai Shuai got together, pressure would be relieved from Xie Juan’s shoulders, allowing her to make things up for Ni Yang.

Hopefully, Ni Yang will forgive Xie Juan upon seeing her repent, which will, in turn, enable him to recover.

After another day of hard work, at the end of the day, Huo Mian took off her lab coat and put on her long black blazer and handsomely walked out of her office.

As she was about to open her car door, a car honked at her. She looked up to see Jiang Xiaowei’s Lexus parked outside the hospital entrance.

“Huo Mian, let’s have dinner.” Jiang Xiaowei was wearing a coffee-colored knit dress, paired with a white jacket. She looked really pretty.

“Girl, can you not always show up out of nowhere? You could’ve called.” Huo Mian smiled.
