The doctor was also taken aback, and after a few seconds, responded with a smile, "Yo, isn't this Xiaojiu? All grown up into a young lady now, how many years it's been since I last saw you!"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Chen, are you performing this surgery?"
"Indeed, I'm the chief surgeon. Is this your...?"
With an intense gaze fixed on Dr. Cheng, Xing Xiaojiu urged earnestly, "Uncle Chen, this is my boyfriend, you must, you really must, absolutely make sure that he will be alright…"
Again and again she said 'you must', and 'absolutely', revealing how her anxious heart was nearly overflowing with concern.
"Rest assured, I've done countless bullet removal surgeries, and not once have I failed," Dr. Chen said with particular seriousness, as if Xiaojiu's comments were a sign of distrust in his authority.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Xing Xiaojiu nodded politely, feeling a bit embarrassed for her earlier demeanor.
However, how could others understand her feelings?
