  Wang Yan’s blood pressure and heart rate kept rising. All the doctors and nurses stared at the electrocardiogram without even blinking. The doctors were able to better withstand this as their hearts were more hardened! Meanwhile, the nurses, especially the older head nurse, had many tears in their eyes.

  Maybe this scene touched something soft in the head nurse’s heart as she covered her mouth with her hand, standing behind Zhang Fan, and started crying soundlessly after seeing that Wang Yan’s vitals stabilized.

  “It was effective!” Director Wu clenched his fist and roared in a low voice like a wolf with its mouth tied!

  Wang Yan was exhausted. There was finally a safe harbor for her to stop at now. Most of the medicinal liquids had already been infused into her. A healthy red flush slowly reappeared on her pale face. This red flush wasn’t the sign of illness at all. It was as if a field which had remained dry for so long had finally received water again.

  Wang Yan’s dead heart had come alive again. She did her best to persist despite the pain in her body and heart! She slept and slept for a long time! Dewdrops shone on the pear blossoms outside the window. Sunlight sparkled as it illuminated the dewdrops. The pear blossoms were gently waving in the wind. Spring had finally arrived!

  The doctors and nurses could now rest assured since more than half of the fluid infusion had finished. The most dangerous part would be at the start of fluid infusion. If the body was unable to withstand the medicine, then the worst would happen if there was major internal bleeding. It was possible that any major artery or vein would start to bleed.

  Director Wu gently waved his hand after seeing that the patient was able to handle the medicine. The doctors and nurses secretly trickled out.

  “Sigh!” Director Wu heaved a long sigh of relief, and then told the other hospital personnel, “Everyone’s worked hard. Our hard work has been rewarded. The effects were excellent. However! Now’s not the time to get complacent. The patient’s journey to recovery is just starting. Doctor Hu, Doctor Zhang, the two of you should pay close attention to patient #9. Once her vitals are stabilized, immediately begin preparing for a splenectomy and contact the surgical department. Her current situation is misleading. She’ll still require surgical treatment.”


  “Alright, Director.”


  Zhang Fan and Hu Jun were rather tired as they returned to the patient room. Although they had both stayed up all night, now still wasn’t the time for them to rest. Back when emergency treatment was necessary, Zhang Fan would have the authority to directly start a surgery on the patient, but now that the patient was in regular condition instead, Zhang Fan would need to first notify the general surgery department. Hu Jun was originally only scheduled for a night shift, but he was unable to leave now as well.

  “Doctor Zhang, I’ll go take a short nap in the doctors’ resting area. Call me if there’s anything. You should nap as well after you’re finished!”


  Zhang Fan finished the medical report, and then snuck a look through the window in the patient room. Everything still seemed so wonderful for Wang Yan. Teacher Li was using his coarse hand to gently caress Wang Yan’s hair. Her breathing was quite steady as her chest rose and fell with each breath.

  Sometimes, one’s emotions could be just like a feather that could tip the scale. One step forward would lead to brightness, while one step backwards would lead to the abyss.

  No matter what had happened, as long as your heart was still willing to fight on despite any difficulty, then perhaps there would be a bright path waiting for you still.

  Diseases were typically the type that would bully the weak and fear the strong. If you acted weak towards a disease and only complained about it, the disease would bully you to death. It would be best to grit your teeth instead and fight it head-on while maintaining a good attitude while facing it.

  Diseases were quite similar to guard dogs. If you were scared of a dog, it would take advantage of your weakness and try to attack you, but if you picked up a stone in your hand, the dog would then turn around and escape.

  What would act as your stone (weapon)? That would be your confidence and courage. Those who became furious were only reckless rather than being warriors.

  When faced with difficulty, gently wiping your face and saying “This is nothing at all!” into the air was what would make you a true warrior.

  Zhang Fan was quite happy to see Wang Yan end like this. Who wouldn’t like a happy ending? When Zhang Fan brought his medical report over to the nurse station, he saw that Hu Jun was being chased around by the head nurse instead of sleeping.

  “What’s going on?” Zhang Fan asked a young nurse in confusion. The doctors in this department were the introverted type. They rarely joked around with the nurses, so what was going on today? Doctor Hu Jun, who had been single for longer than any other male doctor in the department, had actually provoked the combat helicopter head nurse!

  “The head nurse was so moved from seeing patient #9 being saved by love that she started crying. Just as we were trying to console the head nurse, Doctor Hu came over.” The young nurse hurriedly came over to explain to Zhang Fan. She was quite talented at acting just like the head nurse and Hu Jun had in that situation.

  “The head nurse’s eyes were red from crying, and she couldn’t stop her tears! Yet, Dr. Hu came over and directly asked her, ‘Head nurse, give me my overtime pay. I want to go buy some new books!’”


  The young nurse then played the part of the head nurse, and replied, “Wait a minute. Right now, I’m unable to even stand because my legs are going soft.

  “Why are you even crying? It’s not like you’ve never seen a patient being saved before!

  “I’m just feeling happy right now. This is crying because of happiness, okay?

  “Did you recall something from the past?

  “Yeah!

  “Okay, you’re definitely luckier than patient #9!”


  The young nurse then intentionally imitated how the head nurse had wiped away her tears while saying, “Why?”


  “You have such a temper that it could burn a house down when you get angry. What man would dare to bully you? Besides, with your body structure, it’s not like any ordinary man will even be capable of bullying you! It’s probably your husband who has to cry!” Hu Jun had originally meant that the head nurse was rather strong.

  However, Hu Jun had been single for far too long, and had no idea how to talk to woman. The head nurse was really angered by his words. She had originally been crying to the point of feeling weak all over, yet she instantly stood up again. “You little brat! What are you saying about my body structure!? What about it!? What about it!? You dare to make fun of me for being fat!? Why do you think my husband has to cry!? You brat!” She then started chasing after Hu Jun.

  The young nurse giggled as she explained all this while imitating the scene all this time! Zhang Fan shook his head and smiled.

  At this time, the head nurse could be heard shouting from the direction of the staircase. “Your overtime pay has been deducted!”


  After Zhang Fan finished his work shift, he contacted the general surgery department regarding Wang Yan’s surgery, which would begin once her condition improved slightly. Wang Yan’s condition would become completely stabilized after the surgery as well as continuing to use the proper medication.

  When Zhang Fan returned home, he saw that Shao Hua’s mother had a happy expression. She was humming a song as she made some food. “Zhang Fan, you’re finished with work? Sheesh, I told you that there was no need, yet you still especially asked a friend to help out. Honestly! That’s so much trouble for others. You’d better not do this again, as favors are difficult to return.”


  Zhang Fan was really confused by this.

  “What happened?” he secretly whispered to Shao Hua.

  Before she could even reply, her father said, “Last night, your friend especially sent over four concert tickets. Look, they’re on the table right there. They’re even some VIP tickets. Of course she would be happy!”


  Zhang Fan walked over and saw four VIP tickets on the table. Confused, he asked, “Who sent these?”


  “You don’t know? The person who brought the tickets said that you would know who did. He said that Vice President Chen told him to bring the tickets!” Shao Hua answered.

  “Oh! I understand now.” Zhang Fan now figured things out. He then told Shao Hua, “I’m going to call him to give my thanks. These tickets were probably rather expensive. Look, they’re even front row seats!”


  “How about we return these tickets, then?” Shao Hua asked rather worriedly. She was worried that it would be difficult for Zhang Fan to owe a favor.

  “No need. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll deal with it.”


  Meanwhile, inside the rheumatology department, Wang Yan had slept for an entire day. At this moment, Teacher Li was slowly feeding her some rice porridge.

  “I don’t want to drink anymore. I’m full!”


  “Good girl, have another two sips!”


  “Two sips?”


  “Yes, just two sips!”


  “Okay, two sips it is then!”


  Wang Yan looked gently at this foolish man of hers. “Why don’t you find a woman who’s younger, healthier, and prettier than me? I’ll become a burden to you.”


  “I’m willing to be with you!”


  “I really will become a burden to you!”


  “I’m willing to be with you! You should hurry and rest while I wash the dishes. I’ll then give you a massage! It’s just a disease, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”


  20 years later in the plains, Wang Yan still had the same red rash on her face from lupus. However, this wasn’t important, because she and her husband had just been given the award for being the most loving teachers in the border province!
