“Mm-hmm,” Uncle He nodded.

Aunt Zhang stopped talking, perhaps rethinking the situation.

“Let’s go in and see the patient first. The nurse said she’s awake,” someone announced after receiving the notification.

The hospital ward doesn’t allow too many people to rush in, so everyone took turns. Director Jiang led the first group, accompanying the parents inside. Xie Wanying and Lau Jingyun stood waiting outside.

“Your student’s impressive, huh?” Teacher Wang whispered to Ren Chongda’s ear.

Ren Chongda recalled the silence that had fallen over the area when his student spoke, everyone a bit stunned. Especially when Xie Wanying suddenly started rattling off a series of professional terms.

Even the pathology expert Teacher Wang was surprised, “I thought she studied pathology, she knows it inside out.”

Ren Chongda scratched his head, unsure whether he should be proud of his student.

“The doctors from the department came out to listen, right?” Teacher Wang noted the curiosity that had sparked amongst the group peering around as Xie Wanying spoke.

Aunt Zhang got excited and raised her voice. People from the department were startled, each poking their heads out to look around, worried that the situation might get out of control and affect the other patients in the department.

In the end, it wasn’t necessary for anyone else to intervene; just a medical student’s words had won over the patient’s family. Truthfully, such a scene was rarely seen.

The onlookers were all trying to catch a glimpse of what kind of person his student was.

Ren Chongda remembered that it was Sunday, yet it seemed like a lot of people had come back to the cardiothoracic surgery department?

After Uncle He and Aunt Zhang finished seeing the patient, Teacher Wang went in to talk to the patient for a bit, and finally, it was Xie Wanying and Lau Jingyun’s turn.

As they were about to go in, Uncle He told them, “She really misses you guys. Talk to her more. The doctor said she needs rest and shouldn’t chat too much. So just keep her company for a while.”

“Yes, Uncle.”

“We will really think about what you said today for her,” he continued.

“Think about what?” Aunt Zhang asked.

“Think about the dream your daughter is willing to give her life to, shouldn’t you, as her mother, consider it?”

Aunt Zhang’s eyes reddened as she contemplated, not daring to admit that being a mother is toughest when you must be willing to let go of your child.

Seeing Aunt Zhang’s expression, Xie Wanying thought of her own mother. Every time her mother reminded her to eat, she must have felt the same way as Aunt Zhang. Sun Rongfang’s hope for her daughter to become a doctor was simply to remember one thing: to take good care of herself.

They entered the ward and hurriedly walked to the bedside.

He Xiangyu saw them and her face was all smiles, but smiling seemed to pull at the incision from the surgery, causing a pained frown.

“Just lie down and don’t get excited,” Lau Jingyun told her. “And next time if you’re feeling unwell, say something early. Didn’t the senior brother take us to the emergency room for observation, and you still didn’t say anything? If it weren’t for the junior sister noticing something was off–”

“At that time, I felt pain, but not really pain. They said a fishbone was stuck in the esophagus, that should be very painful, right?” He Xiangyu was still less than a day post-surgery, with a gastric tube in her nostrils, talking slowly and with difficulty, and looking back at the events confusingly.

Xie Wanying analyzed for her second senior sister, “I reckon that the fishbone wasn’t lodged across your esophagus.”

“How was it lodged?”

“It was sharp on one end, not very long, with the sharp end slightly angled upwards against the wall of your esophagus, and the other end could’ve been stuck in some food, fitting just right at the second constriction. The peristaltic motion of the esophagus moves downward, each time trying to push the food at the tail end of the fishbone downwards, moving the fishbone along with it. If the entire fishbone was lodged across, it would have been fixed in place and very painful, so that’s why you didn’t feel the pain for the moment,” she said.
