Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the department head discovered that Yan Han was Xia Wan’s mother, his attitude towards her took a drastic turn. He immediately smiled and said, “Yes, Xia Wan is now considered a hospital staff. Hospitalization fees are discounted. Don’t worry. It’s not going to cost much. Even if you don’t have enough funds, our hospital can deduct it from Dr. Xia Wan’s salary.
“What are you guys waiting for?” the department head asked the nurses. “Hurry up and move Xia Hai to the best ward.”
The nurse hurriedly brought Xia Hai away. Yan Han was surprised, even feeling a little uneasy about the director’s attitude.
In her opinion, the director of a hospital had a high social status. Usually, when people like them saw him, they would rush to curry favor with him. But now, the director was so respectful to her, going as far as to offer her favors.
Yan Han was well aware that this was thanks to her daughter, Xia Wan.
It was because Xia Wan had worked hard and gained the director’s attention that she, as her mother, had also earned the respect of the hospital.
At this time, Xia Wan said to the director, “Director, I’ll treat this as a special case in your hospital. I hope that you won’t tell anyone about this. Because of my father’s hospitalization, my grandma is unwilling to spend money treating his illness.
Then, Xia Wan briefly talked to the director about her family’s situation. The director was surprised after hearing it.
What? Someone actually despised Xia Wan?
Such an amazing doctor could be disliked by her grandmother?
Even when her son’s hand was injured, the mother didn’t want to treat her son’s illness quickly but tried instead to take her granddaughter’s money?
He had never thought that such a melodramatic and strange thing would happen to him.
After recovering from his shock, the director solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to keep an eye on it. The people in the hospital will cooperate with you.”
Xia Wan nodded and expressed her gratitude to the director.
In Xia Hail s ward, no one else was around except for them. Yan Han looked at Xia Wan and asked, “Wanwan, tell me the truth. When did you learn how to perform surgery? Although your grandfather treats patients well, he has never done surgery before. If someone needs surgery, your grandfather would make them go to the hospital.”
“Your grandfather once said that surgery requires a good environment and that you have to go to the hospital to avoid infection. So, he naturally never taught you how to perform surgery. Where did you learn it from?”
Xia Wan had been thinking about this question ever since Xia Hail s surgery. If her family asked, what should she say? So now that Yan han had asked, she replied naturally, “Mom, Grandpa taught me because he was on the battlefield.
It’s very common to come across broken limbs and gunshot wounds. He had many ways to deal with this, but the village didn’t have the means for him to teach me, so he often pointed out how to treat injuries in certain parts of the human body.
“Although I’ve been selling clothes these days, I haven’t fallen behind in my medical skills. Plus, after I got to know Mr. Zhou, he gave me a lot of medical books, and I slowly opened up my eyes. I chose to perform the surgery on my father this time because I heard Grandpa mention something similar.
‘Grandpa saved his comrade’s broken arm.’
Xia Wan said half-jokingly, but she was serious. Yan Han also believed most of
it.
“Wanwan, it’s a good thing that you have medical skills,” Yan Han said earnestly. “But you’re still young. If you become famous too early, it might not be good for you. You won’t know whether the people around you are good or bad. So, even if we have medical skills, we still have to keep a low profile.
“If someone prominent comes to you for treatment and you can’t cure him, he will put all the blame on you.
“I don’t want you to be amazing or be some high achiever in this life. I just want you to be safe and happy, study hard, and do what you want to do. I’m willing to protect you for the rest of your life.”
Xia Wan was touched. At first, she thought her mother thought her medical skills came from an improper source. She didn’t expect her mother to think so much for her.
Even though her mother was born in the countryside, she had taught her a lot of principles and it was in no way worse than any other mother..
