350 Grapefrui (1/2)

”Dad.”

Wang Wenkang walked at full speed and was the first person to dash into the room. The cadres and doctors who were accompanying him did not dare overtake him, anyway.

Chief Wang, who was performing the exercise of raising his straightened leg, furrowed his eyebrows. He criticized his son out of habit as he carried out his rehabilitation exercises. ”Why are you in such a hurry?”

There was ample sunlight in the room, and the floor was clean and shiny. The money plant's leaves were neat. The spider plant's leaves were also orderly.

The physiotherapist's large white coat was ironed to perfection. And beside him, Ling Ran was as dashing as the stars. He looked gentle and noble, just like a gentleman.

Wang Wenkang's precious daughter, Wang Hui, who had never worked a day in her life, peeled a grapefruit with difficulty.

And his stern father… looked and sounded as stern as ever.

Wang Wenkang's expression on his square face suddenly froze. The scene in front of his eyes differed too much from what he had imagined.

”Dad, I was just worried about you.” Wang Wenkang composed himself and flashed a smile.

”There's nothing to be worried about. The surgery's over anyway. What's the point of worrying?” Even though Chief Wang sounded grumpy, his face still brightened up a little. His body swayed a little, and he let out a soft snort.

”Let me do it.” Wang Wenkang immediately went forward. He bypassed the physiotherapist and supported his father.

Feeling a little troubled, the physiotherapist stood aside. He did not dare to stay too far from Chief Wang, though.

Chief Wang nodded slightly and allowed his son to support him. He exhaled loudly and asked, ”How is your work going?”

”Pretty well. We're negotiating with a few local companies.” Wang Wenkang gently massaged his father's thigh.

”Hmm... During a negotiation, aside from thinking about profit, you must also be polite and act with integrity.”

”I know…” Wang Wenkang smiled and said, ”The world is no longer as harsh as it was in the past. Don't worry, I won't cause you any embarrassment.”

”That's not the point…” The moment Chief Wang raised his voice, he yelped in pain.

Wang Wenkang quickly shouted, ”Doctor, doctor!”

”Don't worry about it,” Ling Ran said with certainty beside him.

Even though Ling Ran could no longer carry out surgeries because there were no more hospital beds, he did not like to spend his time in the ward. But since Huo Congjun asked him to do so, he might as well listen to him. Things in the world would not go one's way most of the time, and Ling Ran accepted this fact easily.

Wang Wenkang furrowed his eyebrows. He glanced at Ling Ran, cleared his throat, and said, ”Excuse me, doctor, if the patient is currently in this condition…”

”Dad!” Wang Hui yelled and held up a slice of grapefruit in front of Wang Wenkang. She then said, ”Grandpa, why don't you have some grapefruit too?”

”Hmm, Yuan Yuan, you're such a good girl.” Chief Wang nodded happily. This was the first time he saw his granddaughter peel any fruit.

Wang Wenkang's attention was also diverted in an instant, and he no longer found it appropriate to utter whatever he wanted to say to Ling Ran just now.

He had not seen his daughter for quite some time as well. Wang Wenkang gently took the slice of grapefruit and placed it inside his mouth. Even though the grapefruit tasted sour, there was sweetness in his heart.

Wang Wengkang forced himself to swallow the grapefruit and flashed his daughter a smile. He then turned toward Ling Ran and asked in a gentler tone, ”Doctor, how was my father's surgery?”

”It went very smoothly,” Ling Ran answered.

”Could you tell me the specifics?” Wang Wenkang inquired.

”Under the precondition of retaining his meniscus, I repaired it. The anterior horn, posterior horn, and the shape of the body of the meniscus are in good shape now, and I also restored the meniscus to its original thickness. The edges are also very stable.” This time, Ling Ran's answer was very specific.

Wang Wenkang was stunned for a moment, but he still did not understand what Ling Ran said. He could not help but said in a sterner tone, which was the tone he used as a supervisor, ”Could you slow down…”

”Dad…” Wang Hui quickly passed her father another slice of grapefruit.

When Wang Wenkang saw the slice of grapefruit, he started salivating excessively, not because he craved it, but because it was really sour.
