Fali came back in the evening and realized that Chen Zhao had come home earlier than her.
“Chen, you didn’t go out today?”
“I did and then came back.” Chen Zhao grabbed Fali’s hand and pulled her into his lap.
“I’m all sticky. Let me shower.”
“Together.”
Fali knew that Chen Zhao would say that, as he always did. She couldn’t resist him either, so Chen Zhao could always do what he wanted.
During the heated moment, Chen Zhao murmured, “I’m going out tonight.”
“Where?”
“Hospital.”
“You’re sick? Wait…you’re a doctor.”
“Faur has a patient that needs my help.”
“Should I drive you?”
“Sure.”
Chen Zhao personally made dinner. Usually, Fali prepared it, but Chen Zhao came back earlier this time. Naturally, he couldn’t let Fali work.
They left around nine p.m. During this time, Faur called to ask when Chen Zhao would come. When they reached the hospital, Faur was waiting at the door. She was surprised to see Fali here too.
“Fali, you told me last time that you have nothing with Chen. Then a few days later, you guys got together.”
“What do you mean ‘got together’? It sounds so ugly. We’re dating.” Fali rolled her eyes.
“How’s your preparation?”
“I checked the surgery room schedule for tonight. There are three empty rooms after 11. I’ll arrange an alarm for little John and I’ll take him into the surgery room. Then I’ll bring Faith in too.”
Fali had only come to drive Chen Zhao. She went home after taking him to the hospital. Around 10 p.m, Faur put Chen Zhao into a surgery room and also made him change into the white coat, along with a cap and mask.
A while later, Faur and a nurse pushed little John into the surgery room. The nurse was surprised to see another doctor there. “Go out first,” Faur told her. “Hand this to me.”
“Oh, okay.” After the nurse left, Chen Zhao looked at Faur. “Bring Faith over.”
“Do you need help in treating little John?”
“No need.” Chen Zhao shook his head.
Faur was disappointed. She’d wanted to secretly learn from him, but Chen Zhao didn’t even give her the chance.
“Petty *ss,” Faur complained before leaving the room.
Chen Zhao first checked little John’s heartbeat and other indicators. He was in bad shape. The tumor was already on his nerve and he’d been unconscious for 12 hours without waking up.
Chen Zhao didn’t immediately give him the demonic crystal. Instead, he gave him the potion made from brewing the Never-wilting Flower in the Soul Return Spring of Hell. This potion could strengthen one’s vitality. Chen Zhao made it mainly for the heavily injured or critically ill. Most times, they were already in a dangerous situation. Impulsive treatments could speed up their deaths.
On the other hand, taking this potion could largely ensure that the patient would be safe during treatment.
After little John’s vitals steadied, Chen Zhao finally gave him the demonic crystal. At that time, Faur carried Faith in.
“I brought the baby. What next?”
“Go out.”
“You don’t need my help to treat her eyes either?” Faur stared at him, gritting her teeth.
“Nope.”
“Fine, I’ll go!” Faur tossed the child down angrily.
After Chen Zhao took the child and made sure that Faur was gone, he took out two Pristine Eyeballs. He realized that there were still roots on the eyeballs. They looked pretty scary, like parasites, but they actually weren’t dangerous. They were probably the safest things in Hell.
Chen Zhao didn’t have to dig out Faith’s eyes and then stuff the Pristine Eyeballs in. The Pristine Eyeballs could automatically replace the original eyes. He placed them on Faith’s face. Then the roots started crawling toward her eyes automatically.
The scene looked strange, but the process wouldn’t hurt the child.
After that, the Pristine Eyeballs’ roots started seeping into Faith’s eye sockets. One could vaguely see the roots wriggling slowly under Faith’s soft skin.
“What are you doing?” Little John’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Chen Zhao turned around to look at little John who’d woken up on the surgery table. “You’re dreaming.”
With that, he snapped and cast the Banshee’s Charm. When he turned back at Faith, the two Pristine Eyeballs had completely melded with her body.
Chen Zhao carried her out of the room. Faur was waiting outside the door. Seeing Chen Zhao come out so quickly, she was shocked. “You’re done?”
“Done. You can push little John out now.”
Faur pushed little John back to the ICU and took some samples. Chen Zhao stayed in Faith’s room. More than an hour passed when Faur entered with shock written all over her face.
“Chen, you really did it! John’s tumor is reducing in size quickly. You really did it…”
“Okay, we promised,” Chen Zhao said. “I already did it, so what’s next is all you. My friend is coming tomorrow. Take Faith for a checkup again. After the results come out, tell my friend. Just say that there was an error in the test yesterday and there are no problems with the eyes.”
“You fixed the child’s eyes too?”
“No sh*t. Otherwise, why did I spend all that effort?”
“Why don’t you tell your friend that you cured his child’s eyes?”
“That friend of mine isn’t reliable,” Chen Zhao said. “He can’t keep his mouth shut.”
“You trust me this much?”
“I don’t trust you, but I have no choice. Plus, you’re my sister-in-law too.”
Just then, a third person’s voice sounded in the room.
“Uh…Dell…”
Chen Zhao and Faur yelped at the same time. They saw someone standing at the window. It was Dell. The curtain had been pulled, so they didn’t notice his presence until he made a sound.
“Dell, why are you here?”
“Sleeping…”
“Why are you sleeping here?”
“To look after Faith…In the movies, the parents always have to stay with their kid in the hospital.”
Chen Zhao turned to Faur. “You didn’t notice him when you came for the kid?”
“The lights were off so I didn’t notice.” Faur felt awkward too. She definitely didn’t expect that Dell would be here the whole time. “Why didn’t you make a sound when I came for the child?”
“I was asleep.”
“When did you wake up?”
“When you two were talking.”
“What did you hear?”
“Everything.” Fear appeared on Dell’s face. “You’re not going to kill me, right?”
Chen Zhao looked outside the window. “Faur, what floor is this?”
“Twelfth.” Faur also had a creepy smile.
“Ah…” Dell yelled.
“Wah!” Faith was scared awake by Dell.
