62: Chapter 62 Lentil Pastries

After Xu Jun finished speaking, the young nurse glanced at him and exited the ward with her head bowed.

Li Luo noticed that the nurse's face was clearly flushed.

Looks like she was shy. Is a Handsome Guy that lethal?

"Hubby, let's go too! Let's go find Uncle Wang first to ask when my mom can have her surgery."

After saying this, Xu Wei glanced at her mother, confirmed that everything was fine, and the three of them left the ward one after another.

Upon reaching the hospital hallway, Xu Wei looked at her younger brother and said.

"Xiao Jun, you go to that hot pot restaurant we used to eat at first. Once your brother-in-law and I finish up here, we'll come find you, and then we'll eat together."

Xu Jun didn't say anything upon hearing this.

"Okay, Sis, then I'll head over and wait for you guys."

"Mm, if you're hungry, just eat first."

"Got it."

After Xiao Jun left.

Li Luo asked curiously.

"Why did you have your brother leave first?"

"He doesn't have anything to do here, and besides, we're handling my mom's situation, aren't we?"

"Besides, he'd have to leave alone later anyway! He rode his bike here himself."

Li Luo thought about it and realized she was right, so he didn't ask any further.

On the way to the doctor's office.

Li Luo asked suspiciously.

"Wei Wei, is this 'Uncle Wang' you keep mentioning a relative of yours?"

"No! Uncle Wang is the director of this hospital. I met him here. He happens to be in charge of my mom's case, and he's a very good person."

"During the time my mom has been hospitalized, he's taken great care of us. Both my brother and I are very grateful to him."

Li Luo suddenly understood. At the end of the day, it was just a way to get close to someone, right?

However, it's rare to find such a good doctor without having to give him lentil-filled pastries.

After all, nowadays, no matter what you need to get done, you have to establish connections first; if you don't have connections, you just stuff them with some lentil-filled pastries.

You'll find that things go much smoother. That's reality.

Li Luo followed Xu Wei to the director's office on the second floor of the hospital and met the so-called Uncle Wang.

He was a refined-looking middle-aged man. Judging by his features, he must have been a real heartthrob when he was young.

"Uncle Wang, thank you for all your trouble regarding my mother's situation lately."

Wang Chengzhi said gently.

"It's no trouble at all. I'm just doing what a doctor is supposed to do."

Xu Wei said, her face full of gratitude.

"Uncle Wang, don't say that. Everything you've done, Wei Wei has seen it all."

"Alright, Wei Wei, let's not talk about that for now. You need to prepare yourself mentally regarding your mother's situation."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wei asked in a panic.

"Uncle Wang, has there been a complication with my mom's illness?"

Wang Chengzhi said somewhat gravely.

"Wei Wei, I won't beat around the bush. Your mom's current condition is more serious than I imagined."

"Because the initial rescue wasn't timely, and given your limited circumstances, you couldn't have the surgery right away. Now, most of the blood clots have started pressing on her nerves. With our hospital's current medical level, the success rate for this surgery is still too low."

Li Luo inwardly mocked this: "Limited medical level," my foot. Why not just say your skills are too poor?

Upon hearing this news, Xu Wei's face turned instantly pale, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

She felt as if her heart had been fiercely squeezed, and she almost couldn't catch her breath.

Seeing her like this, Li Luo knew she couldn't handle the blow.

He quickly pulled her into his arms and comforted her.

"It's okay, it's okay, relax."

Held in Li Luo's arms, Xu Wei could no longer control her tears, which streamed down her face. She looked up and said with a choked voice.

"Hubby, what should I do!"

Li Luo raised his hand to wipe away her tears.

"Wei Wei, I don't know what you're worried about! Dr. Wang just said that your county's medical level is limited. Since your county isn't good enough, we'll just go to Guangling City, won't we?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wei shivered, color instantly returning to her face, and she said with pleasant surprise.

"That's right, why didn't I think of that?" "It's not that you didn't think of it; Dr. Wang said so much, and you only understood the last sentence."

Only then did Xu Wei stand up from Li Luo's arms and say eagerly.

"Uncle Wang, is the success rate for this surgery higher with the medical level in Guangling City?"

Wang Chengzhi quickly reacted; he had also been left bewildered by this girl just a moment ago.

Hearing this, he said with a wry smile.

"You girl, you're too impatient! I hadn't even finished speaking. It's a good thing your boyfriend is here, otherwise, I would have become a sinner."

Xu Wei felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

Wang Chengzhi continued.

"I said earlier that our hospital has a lower success rate for this surgery, and that's the truth. If a specialist team from Guangling performs this kind of surgery, it would be quite easy, though the costs might be quite expensive."

"Money is not an issue. Dr. Wang, just contact the hospital over there. Whether it's transferring the patient or having a specialist team come over, either is fine."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengzhi looked at the man in front of him with surprise.

He had heard the girl call him 'Hubby' earlier, so he had roughly guessed the situation.

He could only silently bless this girl in his heart.

He didn't dwell on it anymore.

"Since you've said so, for the sake of the patient's safety, it would be safest to have the specialist team from Guangling come over here to perform the surgery."

"That works. Dr. Wang, please make the arrangements."

"Alright, I'll contact the specialist team over there shortly. Normally, the surgery should be able to happen the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Luo knew the timing was just right.

He turned to Xu Wei and said.

"Wei Wei, go out and close the door first. I have a few words to say to Dr. Wang."

Although Xu Wei was confused, she knew that since Li Luo said so, he must have his reasons.

After Xu Wei went out.

Li Luo then said to the puzzled Dr. Wang.

"Dr. Wang, my surname is Li, and my name is Li Luo. Thank you for taking care of my girlfriend's family during this time."

"I'll need you to trouble yourself with the matters ahead as well. These are some lentil-filled pastries I brought from my hometown. Please try them, Dr. Wang."

Wang Chengzhi looked at the so-called lentil-filled pastries. He had been a doctor for so many years.

He had never eaten pastries of this thickness before, and his mouth couldn't help but water a little.

On the surface, he still declined.

"No, no, I haven't really helped much. You should keep these for Wei Wei's mother to eat! After she finishes her surgery, she'll need to increase her nutrition."

"Dr. Wang, don't be polite. You should be able to tell that she isn't lacking this bit of nutrition. Just accept it, and take some home for your wife to try as well."

After saying this, Li Luo shoved it directly into his hands, and Wang Chengzhi didn't decline further.

He could also guess that this man had plenty of lentil-filled pastries at home.

"Since that's the case, I'll shamelessly accept it!"

He then casually placed it in his drawer and looked at Li Luo gently.

"Xiao Li, I'll call you that, is that okay?"

Li Luo nodded upon hearing this.

"That's fine."

Wang Chengzhi said earnestly.

"After getting along during this time, I can see that Wei Wei is a good girl. Since she chose you, I hope you won't let her down. If you have time, come visit my home, and I'll have my wife cook something for you."

"Because I have a daughter of my own, I couldn't bear to see Xu Wei's family suffer. I'm older now, so I like to nag. I hope you don't mind."

Li Luo felt a bit touched upon hearing these words.

"Dr. Wang, rest assured, I will treat Wei Wei well."

"Alright then, I won't keep you. I'll notify you when the surgery is scheduled."

"Then Wei Wei and I will head off."

"Okay."

Li Luo came outside and saw Xu Wei playing on her phone on the side, and couldn't help but say.

"Wei Wei, let's go!"

Xu Wei quickly walked over and took Li Luo's arm.

"Hubby, is the matter resolved?"

"Mm, it's settled. Let's go eat; I'm hungry."

After saying this, the two of them walked toward the hospital parking lot.
