Mrs. Gu stared at the figure, her heart a mixture of emotions.
Ever since Qin He had saved her and rushed her to the hospital, her opinion of Qin He had slightly improved.
Recently, her daughter, whenever visiting her in the hospital, often talked about Qin He.
Mrs. Gu had come to some understanding lately. In fact, Qin He didn't seem to have any major flaws. The only thing she disliked was Qin He's previous lifeless demeanor, coupled with her being a mortician at the funeral home—
She had always considered the profession unlucky, but now, upon reflection, there wasn't really anything wrong with this daughter-in-law—
...
Qin He drove out of the hospital and got into her car.
In the car, she shed the ankle-length coat, revealing a simple casual outfit underneath. She removed her sunglasses and mask.
Tying her long hair into a ponytail, she instantly looked like a different person.
She touched up her lipstick in the mirror and got out of the car, returning to the hospital.
This time, she went directly into the inpatient building.
Shen Yicong's ward was on the 18th floor. After Qin He took the elevator up,
Before reaching the ward, she saw Shen Yilin sitting anxiously in the ICU observation room, staring intently at Shen Yicong in the bed.
She knocked gently twice before pushing open the door.
Shen Yilin looked up. "Sister, you're here!"
His handsome eyes seemed to have found a savior.
Qin He patted his shoulder. "How did the surgery go?"
"The doctor you invited, Sister, is truly miraculous. My brother's surgery was successful. Director Shen just came to check. Director Shen said that as long as we observe him carefully for the next few days and his indicators remain stable, my brother will wake up soon!"
Qin He nodded. "That's good."
The two walked to the bedside and sat down. Qin He looked at Shen Yilin. "You still have school, how can you stay with your brother?"
The hospital's conservative estimate for continued observation was several days. Qin He, having performed the surgery herself, knew the true situation.
Since it was successful, as long as there were no major complications afterward, Shen Yicong should wake up within half a month.
"You don't actually need to be here for constant care."
Shen Yilin clasped his hands tightly and shook his head. "I won't be going to school for now. I'll take a leave of absence from school!"
Qin He frowned slightly. "You can't just watch over him day and night by yourself. How about this, I'll hire two caregivers for you. You can continue with your studies and come to accompany your brother when you have free time."
Shen Yilin hastily shook his head. "Sister, I've already troubled you enough! I can handle this myself!"
Sister paid for his brother's surgery, Sister found the doctors, and before that, Sister rescued him from that club—
Shen Yilin was now infinitely grateful to Qin He.
If it weren't for her, his brother might be gone by now, and he might have ended up in who knows what state of decline at that club. Perhaps if Qing University found out, they would expel him.
Qin He didn't try to persuade Shen Yilin further. She made a decision. "It's settled. I'll find people to come. Don't let your studies suffer. Since your brother is recovering, this is good news."
She comforted Shen Yilin for a while and then got up, intending to leave.
"I have to go back now. We won't be streaming this week. I'll post an announcement on Weibo later."
Shen Yilin quickly stood up. "Sister, it's alright. Don't let it delay your own business!"
Qin He smiled and reached out to stroke Shen Yilin's head. She genuinely saw him as a younger brother.
Shen Yilin immediately bowed slightly. Qin He chuckled. "It'll be alright. Things will get better and better."
"I understand, Sister," Shen Yilin replied, his eyes sparkling.
Qin He left the hospital again and called Shen Bin, entrusting him with finding two of the best caregivers to look after Shen Yicong.
Finally, a major issue was resolved, and her heart felt at ease.
It was already late. Qin He drove back to the Qin family residence, arriving home past nine in the evening.
The sky was clear tonight, filled with stars.
Qin He stretched after getting out of the car, letting out a long sigh. She was really a bit tired today.
As she went to her room to prepare for bed, she saw Qin Yun sitting in the living room with a grim expression as she passed by.
Qin He gave a sheepish laugh. "Brother, why are you sitting here? Aren't you usually in your study at this hour?"
Qin Yun let out a cold laugh. "Where did you go?"
Qin He felt guilty. "I went out for a day."
Qin Yun looked Qin He up and down and sneered. "Is that so? Where did you go playing?"
"Just wandering around, shopping. I don't have anything going on lately, and the Western District Joint Department is also going smoothly. Do you have to manage even this?"
Qin He tried to sound confident.
Qin Yun's voice grew a bit cold. "Yes, mainly because I heard today that a very skilled professor from Qingcheng First Hospital went to perform surgery for someone. What was that professor's name again?"
Qin Yun looked at Qin He with a half-smile, his expression placid, but he was genuinely angry.
"Professor Harlan? Such a big matter, aren't you going to explain?"
Qin He covered her face. "Brother, it's about Yilin. You know his brother has been very ill—"
"I don't care whose matter it is. Your identity shouldn't be exposed. Don't you have any self-awareness?" Qin Yun's voice rose slightly. "You are already being watched, and people are targeting the Qin family. You should stay at home at this time and not run around! You're several months pregnant, and you still went to perform surgery for someone!"
Qin Yun's chest heaved with anger, a mixture of worry and fury!
As Qin He's elder brother, he naturally knew of her identity as a medical professor, but he also understood how much concentration was required for surgery!
After Qin He finished surgery in the past, she would be so exhausted that she couldn't recover for days.
He was being selfish; no one else's life was as important as his sister's health!
Qin Yun was frustrated with her lack of self-preservation. Qin He felt guilty and tried to placate him gently.
"Brother, please don't tell Mom about this!"
"Hmph, so you know to be afraid of Mom finding out?"
"Mom will definitely scold me if she knows..." Qin He pouted and acted spoiled.
Qin Yun was usually no match for his sister, and seeing Qin He soften, his stern attitude wavered.
"That depends on your behavior these days!"
"I'll definitely behave!" Qin He said with a smile.
For the next two days, Qin He barely left the house. The surgery had drained her energy, and she needed two days of rest to recover her spirits.
