My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Novel - Chapter 863

Chapter 863: Praises

Zhong Nuannuan did not hate them, per se. On the contrary, she felt that spending time with Grandpa and Second Uncle was more similar to spending time with family than her own.

However, after being thoroughly hurt by her relatives in the Zhong and Jiang family, her heart was set on retreating behind the emotional wall she built to keep everyone out. She refused to have any form of emotional ties with anybody at all. Therefore, in her previous life, even though she knew that Second Uncle was very sick, she had never used her X-ray vision to check on his health condition.

However, her examination this time dumbfounded Nuannuan.

That was because it was not diseases that ravaged Second Uncle’s body, but injuries.

He was extensively injured!

Both externally and internally.

Even though he had good skin, it was still noticeable that he went through skin grafting! His face was no exception.

Now, Second Uncle might look rather average, but Zhong Nuannuan had always thought how pleasant Second Uncle’s smile was. It had the kind of warmth derived from his sincerity and presented in elegance. Gu Mingzhe often smiled like that, but Gu Mingzhe’s smile could only make Zhong Nuannuan think of three words—aping a beauty.

As the saying goes, do not judge a book by its cover.

Only those who had experienced the great terrors and love that life provided would be able to smile like this.

This kind of smile was beyond the secular world and the elements that made up this world. Even her Big Brother Chi Yang could never rock this smile.

Therefore, she felt that Second Uncle, who wore this smile so naturally, must have been really, really good-looking!

How horrible must the wars or fights that he had to go through for him to acquire such severe injuries?

However, skin grafting aside, Nuannuan also discovered that Second Uncle’s body was rapidly declining.

With such a body, he could probably last for at most three to five years.

No wonder she often heard about Second Uncle’s going for surgeries one after the other in her previous life.

Probably because his organs had reached their limit, and the only solution was to get transplants.

Nuannuan could barely recall that Second Uncle wanted to go over to the other side to end his torturing in the past. Even Chi Yang advised Second Uncle not to persist anymore. However, Second Uncle was afraid that Grandpa would be sad, so he forced himself to undergo large-scale internal organ transplants time and again.

However, due to his weak constitution, he would always encounter various hemolysis-related problems that obstructed him from recovering after surgery. Often, before one problem was solved, another would arise.

Feeling Nuannuan’s intense gaze that locked firmly on him, Chi Zeyao felt a little embarrassed.

“Little Girl Nuan, you’ve been staring at Second Uncle ever since you got into the car. Are there flowers growing on Second Uncle’s body?”

The old master could not help but mumble, “In your dreams! This girl only has Chi Yang in her eyes. To her, even if you have flowers growing on your body, she’ll only notice the ones growing on Chi Yang.”

Zhong Nuannuan was amused by her grandfather’s words.

“Second Uncle, I was examining your body just now.”

Chi Zeyao raised his brows slightly and smiled. “Previously, when Dad called, you’ll never believe how gleeful he sounded. He said that Lil Yang found a wonderful girl. Not only is this girl gentle and cute, but she also has a photographic memory and excellent medical skills. The new generation has truly surpassed the old. Now, it seems like the Chi family has found our stroke of luck.”

Just as Zhong Nuannuan was about to laugh off Second Uncle’s outpour of praises, Grandpa stood up urgently and attempted to cover Second Uncle’s mouth!

However, the milk had been spilled. The old master flew into a rage out of humiliation and yelled, “How dare you! Didn’t I tell you to keep this a secret? How could you reveal my secret so easily? Are you trying to destroy this old man’s reputation in society? Why are you stopping me from being responsible?”
