Chapter 1393: Disobedient

“All this while, I’ve been helping Second Uncle nurse his body back to health. The medicine he takes every day is the medicine that will increase his body’s acceptance of his new kidney after his surgery. Don’t worry. With me around, Second Uncle will definitely have no problem living for another thirty to fifty years.”

Old Master Chi aside, even Elder Hong and the doctors beside them widened their eyes.

The doctors who had not witnessed Nuannuan’s medical expertise were more convinced that they just heard an impossible table.

This… was too much of a tall tale!

How could the adults in their household believe that?

“Really?” Old Master Chi’s sorrowful eyes suddenly lit up.

“Yep.” Nuannuan nodded. “Ask Second Uncle if you don’t believe me. He already had acute kidney failure that day.”

Old Master Chi looked at Chi Zeyao, who was lying on the bed, helplessly enduring his father’s silent interrogation. He glanced at the girl who betrayed him without a second thought and nodded, “Dad, that’s true. I had bloody stools and high fevers the other day.”

Old Master Chi gritted his teeth in anger, but he could not bear to hit Chi Zeyao. In the end, he could only huff in front of Nuannuan, Chi Yang, the doctors in the room, as well as Feng Shengxuan and Bai Liyue, “You damned child, how disobedient must you be?!”

After cursing, he remembered how inappropriate it was to say “damn” and tried to dismiss himself with a series of pui pui pui.

Chi Zeyao could only apologize politely. “Dad, I’m sorry. It’s my fault to make you worry.”

He then looked at Nuannuan helplessly.

This girl, could she not bend so quickly into pressure?

Receiving Second Uncle’s cold gaze, Nuannuan could only stare at the sky and the ground before settling at the tip of her nose.

“Just making me worry? You’ve been lying, understand?”

“Yes! Dad, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you!”

“You promised me that you’d tell me if there was anything wrong with your body. I’ve also told you that if you don’t want me to worry more about you, you should…”

Old Master Chi lectured Second Uncle in front of the whole family.

Nuannuan did not know what kinds of emotions were going through Second Uncle’s head right now. In any case, Nuannuan was tired from listening.

At last, when her evil face reflected off Second Uncle Chi’s clear eyes, she said guiltily, “Grandpa, Second Uncle is gravely ill. Let’s stop telling him off, okay? It’s most important for Second Uncle to maintain a good mood.”

With that, the old master finally shut his mouth. Second Uncle’s tragic experience of being reprimanded finally ended.

“Nuannuan, then… when should your second uncle have a kidney transplant?”

“There’s no rush. We’ll try to delay it as much as we can. I’ll try my best to help Second Uncle delay his surgery for another year. At that time, it’ll be best if I can personally operate on Second Uncle. I plan to intern at the hospital in a few days to learn how to do surgery.”

Elder Hong, “…”

The doctors beside him, “…”

Only heading to the hospital to learn in a few days sounded very unreliable, did it not?

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll entrust your Second Uncle to you then. You promised Grandpa that you’d treat him,” Old Master Chi reminded her shamelessly.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Nuannuan is a person of her words.”

“Do you need Grandpa to arrange for you to intern at the hospital?” Old Master Chi asked again.

Initially, Nuannuan had wanted to go to one of the private hospitals under Imperial Phoenix Group for an internship because of how good the facilities there were. However, the hospital under her name was frequented by the rich, and normal people might not be able to afford it. There would definitely not be as many surgeries as the military hospitals, so after some thought, Nuannuan nodded. “Okay, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you for making the arrangements for me, Grandpa.”
