Chapter 1043: Chapter 1040: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (1)

Bai Lu never imagined that she would see baby boy again under such circumstances; that cheerful and cute little boy had become her patient.

Moreover, he was a patient in critical condition, on the verge of death.

That day was her holiday after working nonstop for more than ten days. As one of the singles, she had planned to stay home all day and have a good rest.

But her leisurely holiday was ruthlessly ruined by a phone call.

"Doctor Bai, we’ve just received injury data from a special military officer transferred from Jun District Hospital. For this afternoon’s surgery, Director Luo wants you to come over and assist."

Bai Lu leisurely sipped her coffee and casually clicked open the email.

The moment she caught sight of the military officer’s name, her hand trembled, spilling coffee over her newly-purchased white silk nightgown, staining it with large brown spots, while her mind went completely blank.

Yan Xu?

The prideful Young Master of the Yan Family?

Her childhood playmate whom she’d never forgotten all these years, baby boy?

It was only a few seconds of hesitation, but a multitude of memories of her and baby boy flashed rapidly through Bai Lu’s mind...

"Doctor Bai? Doctor Bai!"

"Ah... yes, I’m on my way right now!"

Bai Lu, who was originally on vacation, hurriedly changed into her clothes to go out.

It wasn’t until her hands were on the steering wheel that Bai Lu realized they were trembling slightly!

That always cocky and talkative baby boy, who used to make her want to hit him, was now really lying in the Intensive Care Unit of Jun District Hospital, ready to say goodbye to this beautiful world at any moment?

From the moment she saw the patient’s name, Bai Lu kept praying that this Yan Xu wasn’t the Yan Xu she knew.

Although both the name and age perfectly matched.

But Bai Lu hoped that there would be such a beautiful coincidence in the world.

However, the moment she put on the surgical gown, donned the gloves, and entered the operating room, even though the man on the bed seemed to have grown so much bigger than the baby boy in her memory, and even though that man’s face bore the distinct toughness and tenacity characteristic of military people, showing none of the cuteness of childhood, deep down she had a familiar feeling of seeing an old friend.

"Doctor Bai, are you alright?" asked the nurse.

Bai Lu shook her head, "I’m fine, let’s go!"

The surgery was not a smooth process. There were several dangerous moments, but fortunately, the operation room was filled with top medical professionals from within the country, who calmly and skillfully averted danger time and time again, finally ending the seven to eight hour surgery without any mishaps.

The patient, showing no signs of waking, was moved to the ICU. Other doctors and nurses were washing their hands while still discussing some details of the surgery, but Bai Lu sat silently in a corner with her knees hugged to her chest.

The chief surgeon, Director Luo, who was already in his sixties, had cooperated with her many times. He never hid his admiration for this extremely young doctor who was both psychologically and technically adept.

Seeing her so out of sorts, Director Luo came over and patted her shoulder.

"Xiao Bai, the surgery was very successful. You played an indispensable role!"

It wasn’t until that moment that Bai Lu felt a bit scared. She seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She raised her eyes and looked at the senior doctor with a bewildered expression, asking with great concern.

"Will he wake up?"

Director Luo smiled, "What? Have you no confidence in yourself?"

He squatted in front of her, saying with certainty, "As long as there are no complications, he should wake up soon. Don’t worry! Though he comes from a very powerful background, if anything were to happen, the family wouldn’t force the responsibility onto us. Rest assured!"

Director Luo thought she was worried about bearing responsibility because of the patient’s background, but Bai Lu hadn’t considered that at all.

She stared at him blankly, shaking her head in bewilderment, "No... he’s my good friend..."

Actually, to say he was a good friend wasn’t quite accurate.

Because her interactions with Yan Xu were limited to just a few short months in childhood.

Logically, memories from childhood shouldn’t be so deeply etched in her mind.

But Bai Lu seemed to remember every little detail of her and baby boy’s early years distinctly.

For some reason, though, despite her family and the Yan Family having been closely connected for many years, she and the baby boy always seemed to miss each other by a twist of fate—after parting ways in their youth, they had yet to meet again until this day.

And now, when they did meet, he was a patient, and she had become the doctor treating him.

"Mommy, do you know who I saw today?"

Bai Lu didn’t dare to glance at Yan Xu in the ICU, fearing that she would shed tears with just one more look.

As a doctor, she had always thought she was used to these things and wouldn’t be easily affected.

But now, she realized that her ability to examine someone else’s wounds and illness with professional detachment was only because those people in bed were not her loved ones.

During the recent surgery, apart from concentrating on the operation, she hardly dared to look at his emaciated face. From that moment on, she had finally understood that once she took off the white coat, she was just an ordinary person who would cry over the birth, aging, sickness, and death of those around her.

"Who?"

Bai Shao was currently on vacation overseas with her dad, in a delightful mood that was evident even through the phone; Bai Lu could still feel her joy and happiness.

"Baby boy..."

She hadn’t seen Yan Xu for more than a decade, but she knew quite a bit about his growth and life experiences from her parents and Aunt Ying Zi.

Yan Xu had entered the most elite Jun School in his teens and had earned numerous Military Merits at a young age.

But exactly what position he held in the military and what specific work he was involved in, no one elaborated on.

Back then, she had thought the elders had simply overlooked these details, but now she knew it wasn’t oversight; it was because all that information was classified and couldn’t be disclosed to outsiders.

"Baby boy? You met each other? Haha, do you two even recognize each other?"

Bai Shao on the other end of the phone was unaware of Yan Xu’s condition and still thought it was a romantic reunion.

Bai Lu sniffed, trying hard not to think about the lifeless appearance of Yan Xu on the operation table.

"Mommy, he was very, very badly injured. Standing in front of the operation table, I was so afraid that a single slip of the hand would send him to another world...."

When Bai Lu was young, she had many dreams; she considered becoming a pilot or a sports athlete, but in the end, she became a doctor—one who, in her teens, was recognized as a genius doctor by her peers and seniors.

The reason she had gained so much recognition from her seniors was not only due to her superb medical skills but also because of her strong psychological endurance and adaptability.

No matter how critical the surgery, she was always composed and adaptable.

But the surgery today was the only one in years that had left her so disturbed.

"Ah... Baby, what happened? How is baby boy now?"

Bai Shao seemed to have been alarmed by this sudden turn of events, her tone very anxious.

Bai Lu didn’t dare reveal too much because the data on Yan Xu was marked "Classified."

"Mommy, I won’t go into detail, but rest assured, the surgery was very successful, and he’s such a strong person; he should be okay..."
