Chapter 812: Chapter 0813: Wait Before Begging Me to Come Back

When Cao Ling went to notify the lead surgeon that he could start the surgery for her grandfather, she returned to call Ye Qiu and Wu Shuang to head towards the operating room.

Ye Qiu and Wu Shuang followed Cao Ling to the corridor outside the operating room. Meanwhile, Old Cao had already been sent into the operating room to prepare for surgery.

Although Old Cao was already retired, his status in the military meant that he couldn’t be treated like an ordinary person.

Since last night, the attending doctors, lead surgeon, and assistant surgeons here had gone through rigorous deliberations and discussions to confirm that this surgery would be the safest option.

After all, Old Cao’s status was special, and on top of that, his age was advanced.

However, for Ye Qiu, as long as he was here and Old Cao had even the slightest breath left, he could guarantee that nothing would happen to Old Cao.

For now, all he needed was for the lead surgeon inside to remove that foreign object from Old Cao’s body.

Cao Ling sat outside for half an hour, but then she suddenly remembered she had something to do and said, "Dr. Ye, I have some matters to handle first."

Old Cao’s surgery treatment would take at least two to three hours, and it had only been half an hour so far.

After Cao Ling left, Wu Shuang sat there feeling bored. He didn’t use his phone, so knowing he couldn’t smoke here, he decided to look for a smoking area or a men’s restroom to smoke and said, "Dr. Ye, I’m heading for a smoke."

These soldiers or people under high pressure often had the habit of smoking. Whenever they had downtime, they would feel like smoking.

When Wu Shuang headed to the smoking area, Ye Qiu continued sitting there, pulling out his phone to play.

He sat there for who knows how long, and neither Cao Ling nor Wu Shuang had returned yet.

However, that doctor in a military uniform, the department head, showed up again.

Earlier, Zhang Shiwei had seen a young man in a standard military uniform and liberation shoes sitting with another soldier smoking over there.

Unexpectedly, as he passed by now, he saw that young man sitting here again.

Of course, Zhang Shiwei’s reason for being here now was different from before.

Earlier, he had simply passed by, but now he was here deliberately because there was a leader from the Jinling Military Region undergoing surgery inside.

Even though Old Cao was already retired.

When Zhang Shiwei saw the young man playing on his phone without even sparing him a glance, he immediately got angry and said, "You punk, weren’t you just sitting over there? Now you’re sitting here doing what?"

Ye Qiu hadn’t expected it to be this Colonel again.

Seeing the meddlesome look on the other man’s face disgusted him.

Still not lifting his eyes to look at the other man, this made Zhang Shiwei assume that the young man before him must be just an ordinary soldier, or perhaps not even that.

"The Chief Cao is undergoing surgery inside. Go wait somewhere else!"

Zhang Shiwei said directly.

"You’re the one telling me to leave, so don’t come begging me to come back later."

Ye Qiu had long grown tired of sitting here.

If it hadn’t been for Old Cao, Cao Ling, and Wu Shuang, he would’ve left already.

And now, since it was already lunchtime, Ye Qiu wanted to go grab some lunch first.

As Ye Qiu stood up and really prepared to leave, Zhang Shiwei paid him no mind.

At this moment, Zhang Shiwei sat outside, ready to stand by until Old Cao finished his surgery so he could be the first to shake Old Cao’s hand.

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Qiu was leaving, he saw Cao Ling coming back.

When Cao Ling saw Ye Qiu seemingly about to leave, she asked, "Is my grandfather’s surgery done?"

"No, a Colonel just told me to leave. I was tired of sitting there anyway."

A Colonel?

What Colonel?

This puzzled Cao Ling. What kind of Colonel had the audacity to directly tell Ye Qiu to leave?

"So, are you really planning to leave?"

"I was just sitting there, but that Colonel annoyed me twice. I’m going to lunch now; let me know when your grandfather’s surgery is done."

Ye Qiu seemed intent on leaving.

He directly got into the elevator and went down.

Watching as Ye Qiu really left, Cao Ling was furious.

When she came back, Wu Shuang had returned as well but couldn’t find any trace of Ye Qiu—only that Zhang Shiwei was still sitting there.

At first, Wu Shuang thought Ye Qiu had simply gone to the restroom.

But then Wu Shuang noticed Cao Ling storming back in anger.

"Dr. Ye left. That Colonel drove him away!"

Cao Ling said.

"What Colonel?"

Wu Shuang was puzzled as well.

At this moment, Zhang Shiwei recognized that Cao Ling was Old Cao’s granddaughter.

As the only Colonel here right now, he hadn’t realized the young man he’d just dismissed was actually Dr. Ye.

"Who knows?"

Cao Ling said, still seething with anger.

Now she could only sit back down and wait with Wu Shuang for her grandfather to finish surgery.

After taking the elevator downstairs and leaving the Military Hospital, Ye Qiu spotted several eateries outside. Since it was lunchtime, he decided to take his time enjoying a meal and would go back up when Cao Ling called him.

He had no interest in dealing with that so-called Colonel and simply didn’t want to sit there anymore.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Ye Qiu entered a Western-style restaurant. His military attire made him stand out, but given the restaurant’s proximity to the Military Hospital, it wasn’t unusual for someone in uniform to dine there.

"I’ll have a steak, a lamb chop—both well-done—a bowl of borscht, and a glass of red wine."

Ye Qiu ordered.

The server took his order, and while Ye Qiu sat there, people initially glanced his way but soon stopped paying attention.

When the chef brought over the steak, lamb chop, and borscht, Ye Qiu spent about half an hour finishing his meal.

After comfortably letting out a satisfied belch, his phone rang—it was a call from Cao Ling.

"Where are you? My grandfather’s surgery is done."

"I just finished eating. I’ll head back up now."

After pulling out a bank card to pay, Ye Qiu left the Western restaurant. He re-entered the Military Hospital, took the elevator back to the floor where they had been waiting.

Now, in addition to Cao Ling, Wu Shuang, and Zhang Shiwei, more military officers had gathered. They all seemed to have come to visit Old Cao.

After all, a surgery as important as this couldn’t be overlooked by the officers who had some connection to Old Cao.

"Dr. Ye, my grandfather is about to come out of the operating room!"

Ye Qiu had thought Old Cao’s surgery was done, but apparently, it was still ongoing.

At this point, Zhang Shiwei hadn’t expected that the young man he had previously dismissed was actually Dr. Ye, the one Old Cao had mentioned. Now, he was utterly mortified.

Standing amidst the crowd, he felt like nothing more than a ridiculous clown.
