"That's great actually, I feel a little relieved knowing that." Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and gave Jiang Yao a good head rub. "Promise me not to do something so impulsive again! If anyone ever asks you about it, tell them I taught you the moves. If they have any further issues, get them to come to see me."
Like a cat, Jiang Yao nuzzled against Lu Xingzhi's palm, and gently responded with a faint yes. She did not move when his lips came pressing down, instead she eagerly welcomed his kiss.
Lu Xingzhi was very pleased with Jiang Yao's assertiveness. Not getting any action while confined in the hospital, a little teaser of what was to come was good enough for him.
Under Jiang Yao's care, and coupled with his already excellent health, Lu Xingzhi was discharged from the hospital half a month later to continue his recuperation at home.
The day he was scheduled to go home, Lu Xingzhi woke up with a big smile, his happiness clearly showing on his face.
While Chen Xuyao was off handling the paperwork for his discharge, Lu Xingzhi deliberately went over to the room next door for a goodbye visit. He looked at Colonel Lin, who was still sitting on a wheelchair, with disgust in his eyes.
"I'm leaving today, Colonel Lin," Lu Xingzhi reported.
"That soldier you were talking about; his leg surgery was done by this Divine Doctor. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lucy, she was there during the operation. Although she did say that the Divine Doctor entered the operating theater with a surgical gown, a mask and a surgical cap on, only the eyes were exposed. She thinks the Divine Doctor is a lady, that's all she knows. Also, she heard that the lady came from an influential background. All matters regarding her are forbidden talk, especially enforced by the hospital. A few of our doctors have seen her and know who she is, but nobody dared to disclose the affair to the public."
"Wow, very mysterious!"
"That's what I thought too! Anyway, she is extremely capable! Lucy told me that the patient next door, Colonel Lin, came in with an amputation verdict, yet the Divine Doctor was able to reverse things. Look at them now, happy as always, I assume he will have a quick recovery."
