Chapter 2 — Eternal Love

I immediately shivered. My mother smiled:

“Tieu Trien, are you here?”

Trien Thanh nodded:

"I'm checking the hospital room, have the hospital admission procedures been completed yet?"

“It's done, thank you very much.

Just now I said I wanted Tang Au to thank you too." My mother glanced at me and signaled me. Reluctantly, I picked up the gift bag, mentally preparing to be rejected by him on the spot.

“Thank you, aunt.”

Trien Thanh received the gift from my hand. The nurses and I all widened our eyes in surprise. I lowered my voice and asked him:

“Aren't you afraid I'll accuse you of accepting bribes?”

He stood up straight, stern and upright:

“Gifts given by stepmother are not considered illegal.”

Me: “…” Turns out he actually heard it! 3. Trien Thanh loaded the amount corresponding to the gift price into my medical card. After that, I officially became a "hot" character on the 11th floor of the inpatient department. Even the head of the department that the nurses mentioned came to check on me himself.

"Does this place hurt? What about this place?"

I kept shaking my head.

“The abdomen is still quite soft, laparoscopic surgery can be performed.”

While checking my belly, the dean said to Trien Thanh. Then, she patted my belly gently, her tone gentle:

“Girl, I'm your chief surgeon.

My condition is not too serious. There are many young girls with more severe cases who cannot have laparoscopy but have to have open surgery. There will be a scar more than ten centimeters long on the abdomen, which not only affects aesthetics, but unmarried people also run the risk of being suspected by their boyfriends of having had a cesarean section." I'm shocked. Is this always the case?! Maybe my expression was too surprised, causing people to misunderstand that I was worried about the scar. Trien Thanh slowly said:

“Health is the most important thing.

If during surgery, endoscopy cannot be performed, then open surgery is needed.” I rolled my eyes in disdain, secretly sarcastically:

“Of course I know.

I don't care about men, whoever criticizes me is fine, I'll break up, the next person will be better! Trien Thanh was so angry that his face turned dark. The dean looked at me, then looked at Trien Thanh, smiled and shook his head. At eight o'clock in the evening, the nurse told me to come to Trien Thanh's office for a pre-operative talk. I had just finished washing my hair, changed into a hospital gown, looked in the mirror and saw that my face was a bit pale, so I took out colored lotion and lipstick to touch it up. After losing face at the clinic last time, when packing for the hospital, I conveniently brought along makeup. When I arrived, he was the only one in the large office. The desk is full of medical records, test results and reports related to me. This scene made me feel strange, but at the same time familiar—just like our school days, when we studied together. I'm a bit emotional:

“I didn't expect to meet again this way.”

“I don't like this kind of meeting.”

He didn't seem to like the smile on my face, his eyes were deep:

“Have you had a health check in the past few years?”

That's it, it's like throwing cold water on someone's face. Revealed his true form, right? Is he still bothered by his ex-girlfriend coming to the hospital and causing trouble?!

“No!”

Actually yes. My company has a health check-up package for employees every year, but I have never chosen a gynecological check-up. I always thought before I live a healthy life, my menstrual cycle is normal, I don't need to check anything, choosing this package also makes my colleagues curious. This year the company changed hospitals, and in the examination package for unmarried female employees, there was an additional examination of the uterus and appendages. Unexpectedly, after checking once, I was immediately hooked. Trien Thanh glared at me, angry at my stubbornness. From childhood to adulthood, everyone praised him for his calm work and emotional stability. But as long as he's next to me, he's always irritated to the point of speechlessness.

“We assess the possibility that her ovarian cyst is benign.

But if during surgery it is discovered that the tumor is firmly attached to the ovary, then your right ovary will also have to be removed. If it is malignant, surgery may need to be expanded to include a hysterectomy, even more so. Everything will be clearer when surgery is performed tomorrow.” Every sentence of Trien Thanh seemed to hit my ears hard. I originally thought that I just needed to remove the tumor, but I never thought it could affect other organs. My heart was beating rapidly, but on the outside I still tried to look calm:

"That's good, it doesn't have to be another month, and there's a good reason not to have children."

“Tan Sang Au, has your mind been cheated?!”

He was so angry that he cursed me.

“What does it have to do with you, Doctor Trien?!” I angrily said, "Life and death have fate, wealth belongs to heaven! I don't need your pity, and don't curse—"

Before I finished speaking, my mouth was covered by him.

“Your ability to annoy others really hasn't diminished!”

“Mmmmmmm!!”

“Sorry now, Tan Tang Au!”

“You should apologize to me!” I gritted my teeth and bit his hand hard.

No one was willing to give in, both kept struggling. Finally, breaking the deadlock was a nurse. She went looking for me to prepare for a pre-operative enema but couldn't find me, so she went into the office. Seeing me and Trien Thanh struggling with each other, she screamed in horror:

“Doctor Trien, are you being assaulted?!”

Me and Trien Thanh: "..." I really couldn't keep my face anymore, so I had to raise the white flag and surrender first:

“Okay, okay, I was wrong!”

“I forgive you.”

He suddenly let go of me, lowered his voice and said a noble sentence.

“You little man!” I glared at him.

Really good, you really know how to be proud and arrogant! This time he didn't refute but just stared at his pale hands, then gritted his teeth and looked at me:

"Tan Tang Au, if you dare to put these random things on your face for surgery tomorrow, I will personally remove your makeup on the spot!"

I turned my head to look at the glass next to me. Under half of my face, there was clearly a handprint. Dammit! Next time, absolutely don't buy cheap cosmetics anymore! 4. At one o'clock the next afternoon, I was wheeled into the operating room. Trien Thanh put on surgical clothes, walked to my side, who was trembling on the operating table, and said softly:

“Don't be afraid.”

I reached out to hold his hand and sincerely opened my mouth:

"I was wrong before, I hope you don't mind the past... I have a favor to ask you."

Trien Thanh looked at me with complicated eyes:

“You'll be okay.”

I shook my head. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked me:

“What do you want?”

“Can you tape my mouth shut with tape? Are not?"

Last night I was surfing Weibo and saw people saying that when you wake up from general anesthesia, your consciousness will be vague and it's easy to talk nonsense. I'm really afraid that I'll say nonsense. If I accidentally tell something nonsense, I'll lose face and die! Trien Thanh looked at me like I was an idiot. Although... he used to often look at me with these eyes. I looked at him seriously:

“I have to maintain a clean image before the world.”

“…”

Trien Thanh pushed my hand away with an expressionless face. At four o'clock in the afternoon, I was pushed out of the operating room and placed in the recovery room for observation. As the effects of the anesthesia gradually wore off, I saw someone standing next to my bed. I raised my hand, shook that person's hand, and smiled happily:

“You're handsome, you're exactly the type of guy I like!”

There was bustling laughter all around. Trien Thanh looked at me, helplessly shaking his head. I felt a bit uncomfortable, grabbed that person's hand and muttered:

“The Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor, God, Jesus, hello!

My name is Tan Tang Au, I live in city A, Thanh Son district, my identity card number is 350123... Please bless me with complete safety and a smooth surgery!
