In her dream, the little boy she had saved came to thank her with a gift. Fang Yan excitedly opened the box and a naked little sketch character jumped out. He held Cheng Zheng’s white coat and happily showed her his muscles.

Fang Yan shouted, scaring Qi You, who was accompanying her at the bed.

Fang Yan closed her eyes and waved at Qi You. “No, no, how could there be no clothes…”

In the few days that Cheng Zheng was busy to the point of vanishing, Fang Yan was free. Other than eating, drinking, and sleeping, the most important thing was to see her grandmother. When it was not convenient to visit, she would sit outside the ICU for half a day.

Qi You owned her own management company. There were always a few troublesome celebrities among the group of celebrities, and Qi You had a lot of miscellaneous matters to take care of. After accompanying Fang Yan for two days, she went back cursing.

Only Head Nurse Liu, who was entrusted by a certain someone, would appear in front of Fang Yan whenever she was free.

“Here, I bought jelly for my son this afternoon. I’ll bring you some too,” Head Nurse Liu said to Fang Yan with a big bag of snacks.

Fang Yan smiled bitterly. “Head Nurse, your bag of things could bury me alive! I haven’t even finished the canned fruits and lollipops you gave me last time. Don’t tell me you’re thinking of making me little Nuo Nuo’s older sister?”

Liu Min got married late. Her son, Nuo Nuo, had just started elementary school. Whenever she had the chance, she would pester Liu Min to buy food. The little guy was lively and sweet-tongued. After seeing Fang Yan twice, he had become a little familiar with her.

“Look at what you’re saying! It’s not like they’ll rot or anything!” Liu Min didn’t care about these perfunctory rejections. She put down her things and was about to leave, but she thought of something halfway and turned back. She asked tentatively, “Little Fang, haven’t you heard anything annoying recently?”

Cheng Zheng was the face of the department. Just as he had said himself, the reputation was tied as well.

Other than the illnesses, most of the family members’ topics were about Cheng Zheng. Those who were close to Cheng Zheng would inevitably be dragged out to talk about it.

Right now, this person was Fang Yan.

The gossip power of the masses was unimaginable. In just a few days, Fang Yan’s educational qualifications and works had been dug up. There were even several versions of Fang Yan and Cheng Song’s breakup.

However, Cheng Zheng’s advance “reporting” made Fang Yan mentally prepared. She winked at Liu Min and took the initiative to provoke her. “What? Are they saying that I’m prettier than you?”

Liu Min hit her softly.

Everyone thought that Fang Yan’s mentality had been adjusted well. On the day before Jiang Lan’s surgery, Cheng Zheng was on a routine ward checkup when he couldn’t wake Fang Yan up.

Cheng Zheng bent over to take a look.

The person on the bed was like a small ball. Her face was red and she was sleeping uneasily. A few strands of sweat-drenched hair were stuck to her forehead as she panted rapidly.

Cheng Zheng tried to pull the blanket out of her hand, but Fang Yan tightened her grip.

“Fang Yan, Fang Yan?” Cheng Zheng lowered his voice and called her softly.

Feeling someone holding her hand, Fang Yan finally opened her eyes and looked at the person in confusion. The grief in her eyes had yet to dissipate.

“Director Cheng?”

“Yes, it’s me,” Cheng Zheng replied in a low voice.

Fang Yan grabbed Cheng Zheng’s sleeve. “Where’s my grandmother?”

“Grandma is fine. She’s fine.” Cheng Zheng’s voice was calm and comforting.

“Cheng Zheng, you must save her.”

Fang Yan’s eyes turned red, and her cheeks were wet.

She looked at Cheng Zheng helplessly and cried quietly. Her shoulders were half-buried in the blanket, and she kept trembling as she cried.

Cheng Zheng panicked from her crying.

Outside the operating theater, Cheng Zheng had faced all kinds of people. He never took it to heart, nor would he make a promise that went against medical judgment.

But now, he felt that as long as he could make Fang Yan feel at ease, nothing else mattered.

“I’ll be the chief surgeon tomorrow. Grandma will definitely come out safely. I promise,” Cheng Zheng repeated. “I promise you, believe me.”

Doctor Xiao Song sighed in his heart. He knew that with Cheng Zheng’s personality, he would definitely gather the people in charge of Jiang Lan’s surgery for a long meeting before he got off work.

“Did you see that? If you have connections, you can get the director to give you a guarantee and even personally go to the operating table. I don’t have any connections, so I can only pray for Bodhisattva’s blessings!”

A patient in the next room poked his head in to take a look, and the words spilled out of his mouth.

When Liu Min heard this and saw that there were family members who were watching the commotion behind her, she was furious. She turned around and replied, “What are you talking about?! Doctor Yao is a medical professor. He didn’t eat or drink for more than seven hours just to operate on you. Did he do something bad to you?”

That person snorted and did not say anything else.
