Besides, she was still a kid; she could not enter that kind of places even if she wanted to.

“Oh, that’s good.” After making sure that Qiao Nan did not do anything foolish, the colleague sighed, not knowing what else to do.

What a mess the Qiao family was.

Their mother and elder sister did not behave like they were supposed to be, whereas the youngest in the family had to worry for the adults. What had the world come to?

“They are out!” The door to the operating theatre opened right then.

“Doctor, how is our Old Qiao?” Ding Jiayi rushed up to the doctor with red, puffy eyes.

“Is my dad alright?”

“Don’t worry, the surgery was a success. However, the patient had been knocked down by a car, and some symptoms would not appear right away. In the next twenty-four hours, you have to monitor the patient’s conditions closely. If there is any situation, you must notify the doctor immediately.” The doctor heaved a sigh of relief. They were tired from the surgery as well.

“Thank you, Doctor. Thank you very much.” Ding Jiayi cried with joy. She finally said something reasonable. “Old Qiao, nothing must happen to you. In the future, don’t give us such a scare anymore.” Ding Jiayi stood by his bed and pushed him into the ward with the nurses.

Qiao Dongliang was no longer in a critical condition. Ding Jiayi finally came to her senses and started to express grat.i.tude to the people who helped her today. “Old Qiao got into an accident. Thank you very much for helping us today. If not for all of you and the people at the factory, a mere woman like me would not know what to do.”

The colleague twitched his lips. “Sister-in-law, I did not do much. It is Old Qiao who is lucky enough to have such a good daughter. She saved his life. Even if I am around, it’s difficult to say what will happen to Old Qiao without her.”

Ding Jiayi felt embarra.s.sed at the colleague’s words. Qiao Zijin also turned green at his words.

They knew that the daughter whom they praised for saving Qiao Dongliang’s life was Qiao Nan.

As Qiao Dongliang’s elder daughter, there was nothing she could help with. On top of that, she was embarra.s.sed by the colleagues’ words. Qiao Zijin’s face stiffened in an instant.

Ding Jiayi patted Qiao Zijin lightly to calm her down. She plastered a fake smile on her face and said, “Qiao Nan, you must be tired running around to get the money for your dad’s surgery. Why don’t you go back to have a rest? Your sister will look after your dad for the next twenty-four hours. You can take turns with your sister after you are rested. Now that this happened to your dad, we do not have any money at home. I have to work to earn as much as possible. After all, when your dad is discharged, there would still be a lot of expenses.”

“Qiao Nan, your mom is right. You must be tired from running around all day. You should go back to have a rest and come back tomorrow.” The colleague relaxed his demeanor. Ding Jiayi finally said something sensible.

“Okay.” Qiao Nan was tired to the bones at the moment. She could easily fall asleep if she closed her eyes.

Qiao Nan did not make life difficult for herself. She went back home and fell asleep right away.
