Chapter 1062: Chapter 1059: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (20)

Bai Lu’s surgery had lasted for more than ten hours, and when she came down from the operation table, her legs were weak. Fortunately, the head nurse was watching her closely and gave her a hand, preventing her from falling.

After leaving the operation room, she turned on her mobile phone and saw that at around five, Zhu Qianying had sent her a message on WeChat, asking her if she would return home for dinner.

Bai Lu checked the time, and seeing that it was nearly ten o’clock, she didn’t want to disturb anyone by making a phone call, so she replied to Zhu Qianying on WeChat.

"Aunt Ying Zi, I’m sorry, I just came out of the operation room. It’s too late tonight; I’ll sleep in the hospital and will try to come back early tomorrow to examine the baby boy."

Zhu Qianying promptly made a phone call. "Xiao Lizi, have you had dinner?"

Bai Lu hadn’t actually eaten, but not wanting Zhu Qianying to worry, she told a little white lie.

"I did, a colleague helped me order takeout, and I’ve just finished eating."

Zhu Qianying did not know if she believed her or not, but did not dwell on the topic. "Then you better go wash up and sleep, you don’t need to rush back in the morning. I can have Grandpa arrange for a doctor to come over and examine him just the same."

Her words suddenly reminded Bai Lu of a detail she had overlooked.

Given Yan Yuan’s status and previous contributions to the country, it stood to reason that even though he was retired, he would have a private doctor by his side.

The daily routine checks for Yan Xu could totally be handled by Yan Yuan’s private doctor!

Belatedly realizing this, Bai Lu figured that her dear Aunt Ying Zi might have set her up in this scenario.

Of course, these were thoughts she would never voice aloud.

"It’s fine, I will be okay after a night’s sleep, and I’ll head back early tomorrow morning."

Whether or not Zhu Qianying had set her up, Bai Lu was genuinely happy to take responsibility for following up on Yan Xu’s recovery.

She knew her own personality quite well.

Given how much she cared about Yan Xu, even if she wasn’t the one directly handling his recovery, she would still make sure to keep herself updated on his health progress every day through other means.

Just like earlier, she immediately checked the medical records sent by Director Lu as soon as she turned on her phone.

However, what was odd was that the records were only from the afternoon; there were none from the evening.

After finishing her phone call with Zhu Qianying, she ordered a meal on the takeout app and then sent a message to Director Lu, "Master, did you forget to send me Yan Xu’s evening medical records?"

Director Lu quickly replied, "Didn’t Dr. Lu tell you? The Yan Family’s Young Master said you’d come to examine him after your surgery, so he didn’t need to go tonight."

After reading Director Lu’s message, Bai Lu grabbed her coat from the hook and rushed out in a hurry.

As she passed the service station, she told the nurse that someone would be delivering takeout soon and to just help herself to the food if she wanted.

The nurse, not wanting her to go hungry, handed her some bread.

"Dr. Bai, are you going home this late?"

Bai Lu took the bread, thanked her, and hurried out the door. When she got into the taxi, the clock showed it was half-past ten.

Based on what she knew about Yan Xu, the guy usually went to sleep at twelve.

The drive from the branch hospital to the Yan Family’s residence usually took about an hour and a half during the day, but with lighter traffic at night, it should take roughly an hour.

"Master, I’m in a hurry, could you please drive a bit faster?"

The driver was quite accommodating, "Okay, I’ll take a shortcut to get you there. At this hour, it should take about an hour."

Bai Lu thanked him and sent a picture of the driver’s number plate to a colleague who was on duty in her department, then used voice message to inform the colleague that she was traveling in a certain car to a certain place, and after that, she slowly began eating the Bread she had unpacked.

When she finished the Bread, temporarily relieving her hunger, she leaned her elbow on the car window and rested her forehead in her hand, closing her eyes to rest.

At that time, at the Yan Family’s home, after Zhu Qianying finished talking to Bai Lu on the phone, she knocked on Yan Xu’s bedroom door.

Pushing the door open, Yan Xu, who was reading in bed, looked up, "Mommy, what is it?"

"Xiao Lizi just finished the operation and said he would stay at the Hospital to rest tonight and come over tomorrow morning to check on you."

Yan Xu uttered an "oh," and just when Zhu Qianying thought there was no more to his response, she heard him ask, "The operation lasted from the morning until just now?"

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, being a doctor is a tough and exhausting job, especially for doctors with good skills like Xiao Lizi; it’s common for surgeries to last for over ten hours."

Yan Xu didn’t make a sound, just hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhu Qianying thought he was tired, walked over to touch his forehead to make sure he didn’t have a fever, then gently rubbed his head and spoke softly.

"Go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning I’ll have Grandpa call the Family Doctor to come and check on you, and let Xiao Lizi rest a bit longer before he comes over."

Yan Xu nodded, which was taken as agreement to his Mommy’s suggestion.

Meanwhile, Bai Lu, sitting in the taxi after having been standing for over ten hours in front of the Operation Table, was indeed very tired and sleepy, but she remained alert, merely closing her eyes to rest and not actually falling asleep. Every few minutes, she would open her eyes to check the road conditions outside to make sure the driver was following the route he had mentioned before closing them again.

The driver’s driving skills were excellent and it took him less than an hour to drop off Bai Lu at the alleyway.

Bai Lu returned to the Yan Family home before eleven-thirty.

Probably hearing the noise, Zhu Qianying walked out of the bedroom and was quite surprised to see Bai Lu.

"Xiao Lizi, why are you back? Weren’t you supposed to rest at the Hospital?"

Bai Lu had already thought about how to phrase her explanation, "The blankets in the Hospital’s resting room were too thin, and I was afraid of the cold. After thinking it over, I decided to come here to sleep."

She didn’t mention anything about her concerns for Yan Xu’s health.

Zhu Qianying walked over and hugged her pityingly, then touched her visibly exhausted face.

"Then you should go take a shower quickly, should I go make something for you to eat?"

Although Bai Lu had previously lied to Zhu Qianying saying she had already eaten, in reality, the Bread the Nurse had handed to her was not enough to fill her stomach.

However, she felt embarrassed to trouble Zhu Qianying, so she suppressed her cravings and casually said, "Aunt Ying Zi, you go to sleep, I’m not hungry."

But Zhu Qianying clearly heard her stomach rumbling, yet couldn’t call her out on it, only saying, "Your uncle Yan is still working late, I’m just about to go make him some Noodles, are you sure you don’t want any?"

Bai Lu gulped down her saliva and smiled embarrassingly, "Then please, Aunt Ying Zi, make a bowl for me as well, thank you!"

After clarifying her taste preferences, Zhu Qianying went into the kitchen, and Bai Lu then knocked on Yan Xu’s door.

"Mommy, I’m about to go to sleep!"

Bai Lu pushed the door open and slipped in, "It’s me!"
