After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Uh… That was an accident

Lu Zhaozhao nodded gently, “I’ve heard that all surgeries carry risk, and experienced doctors can minimize surgical risks to a greater extent…”

Of course, she had just made that up on the spot; her main worry was that Xia Wenmo could pass away at a young age just like in her previous life.

So, perhaps a more professional touch could save her third brother’s life.

Xia Wenjue raised his eyebrows, “If you’re talking about this, then rest assured, the neurosurgeon operating on the third brother is currently the most authoritative in the country.”

Although Xia Wenmo had a tumor in his brain, proper surgery wouldn’t pose any significant danger.

It was just that there might be problems with his vision, which was why Xia Wenmo gave up on himself and wanted to refuse treatment.

If it weren’t for Lu Zhaozhao’s words, Xia Wenmo might really have been in grave danger…

Lu Zhaozhao pressed her lips together, looking uncertainly at Xia Wenjue, “Is what you’re saying true?”

Her voice trembled noticeably because she had just been crying.

Xia Wenjue nodded, patted Lu Zhaozhao on the shoulder, and said, “I promise you, this doctor is absolutely the best. As long as the third brother is willing to have the surgery, his life is definitely safe.”

Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help murmuring softly, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Seeing that Lu Zhaozhao was still somewhat anxious, Xia Wenjue thought for a moment and added, “Actually, at the auction, if it wasn’t for you buying his painting, he might not have agreed to the surgery.”

A puzzled frown crept across Lu Zhaozhao’s brows, “Didn’t you think about knocking him out and taking him to the operating room?”

Xia Wenjue couldn’t help but laugh, “With the third brother’s temperament, even if I knocked him out and took him to the operating room, he would definitely not cooperate with the treatment after the surgery, and he might well die young.”

Hearing the words “die young,” Lu Zhaozhao’s tears started falling pitter-patter again.

Xia Wenjue hurriedly amended his words, “I was just joking, don’t take it seriously. See, he has agreed to the surgery, right? Don’t be scared, let’s not cry now…”

Xia Wenjue quickly pulled out a handkerchief from his suit pocket to wipe away Lu Zhaozhao’s tears.

Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, he felt so regretful he could have hit himself over the head.

Everything had been going fine until he said that one extra thing.

Lu Zhaozhao sniffed, rubbing her nose with the handkerchief, and asked softly with teary eyes, “Before the surgery, can I come to see third brother often?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” As soon as Lu Zhaozhao finished speaking, Xia Wenjue eagerly agreed, “If you’re worried, I’ll set up a monitor for you, we can keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. I’ll go find a doctor to get him a 24-hour cardiac monitor to keep track of his data all the time.”

“Clatter!”

A noise came from next door, something hitting the floor, startling Lu Zhaozhao. She immediately pushed open the partition door and ran out.

She saw Xia Wenmo and Xia Wenyan sitting by the bed, holding a tablet that had shattered from the fall.

“Uh… that was an accident,” Xia Wenmo tugged at the corner of his mouth, trying to maintain a calm smile for Lu Zhaozhao.

He had never imagined that Lu Zhaozhao would be so worried about his illness, and he felt a wave of warmth in his heart.

Although he was somewhat resistant to the idea of being under 24-hour cardiac monitoring as proposed by his elder brother, he couldn’t stand seeing his sister looking so pitiful.

Forget 24-hour cardiac monitoring; he’d agree to 24-hour personal care!

Lu Zhaozhao, still not completely reassured, walked over to Xia Wenmo’s side and thoroughly checked him over before finally relaxing.

“Third brother, you’re going to have surgery in a few days, you must be careful.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you,” Xia Wenmo raised his hand to ruffle Lu Zhaozhao’s hair, and seeing her red little nose, he couldn’t help but gently graze her nose bridge.

Xia Wenyan, who was holding a chipped tablet, glanced at Lu Zhaozhao and timidly raised his hand in greeting, “Hi, Zhaozhao.”

Lu Zhaozhao merely nodded at him without saying much.

At that, Xia Wenyan felt an even deeper twinge in his heart.

When he had entered, he saw Xia Wenmo holding a tablet, listening to Lu Zhaozhao’s tearful worries about his third brother.

She was softly calling them both brother, but when it came to him, all he got was a nod.

Xia Wenyan felt disheartened, yet he dared not say much more.

After all, he hadn’t been nice to Lu Zhaozhao in the past, had misunderstood her, even dissed her, so the fact that she wasn’t cursing him out was something to be thankful for.

Therefore, during the time Lu Zhaozhao stayed in the hospital room afterward, he wanted to try to gain her favor.

Unfortunately… Lu Zhaozhao’s attention was all on Xia Wenmo, occasionally chatting with Xia Wenjue, while he was almost completely in a nodding acquaintance state.

Seeing the time was almost for afternoon classes, Lu Zhaozhao looked at her phone, then deeply at Xia Wenmo.

“Third Brother, I’ll come see you again tomorrow when I have time.” She picked up her bag, not forgetting to admonish, “Eat well tonight, and don’t wander around.”

Xia Wenmo laughed at being admonished like a child.

He nodded continuously, “Okay, okay, Third Brother will eat well and won’t wander, just waiting for you to come see me, alright?”

“Mmhm.”

Only then did Lu Zhaozhao nod gently.

Seeing this, Xia Wenjue reached into his pocket for his car keys and said, “I’ll send…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Xia Wenyan immediately rushed over, pressing his hand on Xia Wenjue’s.

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it, I’ll take Zhaozhao back to school; I’ve got nothing else to do anyway.”

Although Xia Wenjue didn’t want to give up this opportunity to Xia Wenyan, seeing his pleading face, Xia Wenjue couldn’t help but sigh.

He could only toss the keys to Xia Wenyan, finally saying, “Zhaozhao, why don’t you let him take you?”

As he said this, he was also carefully watching Lu Zhaozhao’s reaction.

After all, they were all clear about the “good deeds” Xia Wenyan had done before, so if Lu Zhaozhao showed any displeasure, Xia Wenjue was ready to cut off the possibility from the root.

Fortunately, Lu Zhaozhao did not resist, simply nodding her head, she accepted, “Alright then.”

She actually had no hostility towards Xia Wenyan.

But neither did she have much fondness.

After all, she was always doubtful about the character of someone who would end up in a bad way because of drug use.

Furthermore, he had always stood by Xia Wenjin, so she didn’t want much to do with Xia Wenyan.

But he was, after all, a part of the Xia Family, so completely ignoring him wasn’t a viable option. So, what she could do now was just to keep it cordial on the surface.

She and Xia Wenyan walked one after the other, barely getting in the car, Xia Wenyan spoke up, “Zhaozhao, I’m sorry about before, I misunderstood you without proper investigation…”

…

After Xia Wenyan finished speaking, the car fell into a silence as still as death.

He swallowed nervously and, lifting his eyes towards the rearview mirror, he looked tentatively at Lu Zhaozhao—
