Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 1106: [1106] Want to make them happy

"Your grandpa didn’t keep it from others. He just didn’t plan to see a doctor and wanted to treat himself, that was his mistake. A healer should not heal themselves." Cao Yong corrected him.

Looking at it this way, was grandma actually in a better situation than grandpa? As a medical student, Zhang Shuping also knew that diseases needed to be discovered and treated early.

"Why did you become a doctor? Because you admire your grandparents?" Cao Yong asked him.

"Yes." Zhang Shuping nodded.

"If you admire your grandparents, you should know that when their teachers were sick, when their parents were sick, they might have been asked to treat them," Cao Yong said, "If you want to be a doctor, there will certainly come a day when you’re like me."

Zhang Shuping clenched the chopsticks in his hand tightly, swallowing saliva in his throat gulp by gulp, his heartbeat seemed to jump out.

"Scared?" Cao Yong’s sharp gaze locked onto his face.

Zhang Shuping’s mouth trembled: "Aren’t you afraid?"

"I am afraid. I still clearly remember the first time I had to resuscitate a colleague who fell ill suddenly at our hospital; my hands shook uncontrollably. Later on, our hospital had an unwritten rule not to perform surgeries on our own relatives. Colleagues are all afraid, let alone loved ones."

"What about my grandpa?"

"I always felt a deep sense of regret about your grandpa’s situation, so many things seemed too coincidental," Cao Yong said, his tone becoming very heavy as he recalled the past.

It was discovered too late, the direction of treatment might have been wrong in the middle, and it couldn’t be saved. In the end, everyone felt very unsuccessful.

"Dr. Cao, there’s something you might need to know. Actually, my grandparents liked you the most among their students," Zhang Shuping said.

This remark made Xie Wanying feel a sudden heartache. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Senior Cao’s face, knowing all too well how much pain Senior Cao must feel. Thus, after looking for a moment, she suddenly turned and walked away.

Hearing the footsteps, Cao Yong turned his head, seeming to catch a glimpse of a figure.

Soon after, clattering footsteps returned, and Xie Wanying came back quickly, holding two lollipops in her hand and stood in front of them both: "Have a lollipop."

Both of them looked up at her.

Zhang Shuping was startled, wondering if she might have overheard their conversation just now.

"I didn’t mean to eavesdrop," Xie Wanying explained.

Quite frankly. Zhang Shuping was surprised again by her overly candid manner.

In fact, he and Cao Yong didn’t say anything secretive; otherwise, they wouldn’t have talked in a public place.

What’s odd is, why did she suddenly bring lollipops over to him and Cao Yong? The more Zhang Shuping thought about it, the more he felt that she was just as odd as others had described her.

"Eat something sweet, and you will feel good," Cao Yong said with a faint dimple showing at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of laughter.

The junior sister’s behavior was in line with medical principles; sweet food can make the brain happy. As a neurosurgeon, he couldn’t be clearer about this.

Senior Cao immediately realized what she was thinking, and Xie Wanying unconsciously lowered her head, looking slightly embarrassed.

"What flavor?" Cao Yong asked, taking a lollipop from her hand and giving one to Zhang Shuping.

"Yangyang likes the milk flavor," Xie Wanying confessed, as this was the candy originally bought for the child.

Milk flavored lollipops — one lick and the milky taste makes you feel as if you’re in a sunny, vast pasture, and your mood becomes as joyful as if you’re soaring into the sky. When Zhang Shuping licked the lollipop, such an image appeared in his mind. The sweetness on his tongue made him forget the sorrow and fear for a moment.
