Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Meeting with Doctor Anxin Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Meeting with Doctor Anxin An Huadong could not even carry on with his lecture and had to walk to the back door, pushing Sheng Tingyuan out of the classroom, then slammed the door shut with a “bang”.

He didn’t go to find Sheng Tingyuan until after the class was over.

As he approached, he saw a bold female student from his class step forward to ask Sheng Tingyuan for his phone number.

However, Sheng Tingyuan’s simple response, “I’m married,” made the girl’s face turn crimson as she retreated.

An Huadong, frustrated at his student’s lack of focus, scolded, “Your heads are filled with nothing but useless romantic fluff all day long. How many times have I said it, you should channel all your energy into medicine; someday patients’ lives will be in your hands!”

The girl’s flushed face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly ran off.

An Huadong then began to express his displeasure to Sheng Tingyuan, “What are you doing at our school? Even if you come, can’t you wear a mask? These kids at school are still immature and can easily be distracted by your face!”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t care whether others were distracted by him; he was only concerned about his mother’s life, “I came here to request that you personally perform surgery on my mom.”

“I’ve already told you I’m retiring, I won’t be performing surgeries anymore.”

“My mom’s case won’t make a difference, you can retire after completing this surgery.”

An Huadong glared at him, “If I could do it, don’t you think I would? The difficulty of your mom’s surgery is extremely high, and at seventy, my eyesight isn’t what it was; finding blood vessels is a struggle, and if the surgery fails, it would be a stain on my reputation and your mom’s life would be at risk!”

“Although there’s a chance you might fail, compared to others, your likelihood of failure is the lowest.”

“Didn’t I tell you I have a student who could also perform the surgery on your mom? Her chance of failure is even lower than mine-why won’t you believe it?”

“She’s too young, I don’t feel comfortable with that.”

“I’m too old, yet you’re comfortable with me?”

“If you take the lead, the ten billion donation will be transferred immediately.”

“Even if you gave me the entire Shengling Group, I wouldn’t be able to perform the surgery!”

An Huadong looked at him with exasperation, “Either let my student perform the surgery on your mom, or find someone else. There is no third option!”

After saying that, he walked away in a huff, muttering, “To think he’d look down on my student, hmph, with her steady hands, no one could perform the surgery more perfectly than her!”

Watching him leave, Sheng Tingyuan felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

Could he really let Anxin perform the surgery on his mother?

If it were him, he wouldn’t hesitate to take a gamble, but this was his mother’s last chance, and he had to be extremely cautious.

He reopened the chat interface with Doctor Anxin and contacted her again, “Is it possible to meet and talk?”

Doctor Anxin, “Sure, you can come to the hospital to find me. However, I’m about to perform a surgery soon, so you might have to wait for a while. How about tomorrow?”

“Today, which office is yours?”

“Building B, Room 602.”

Sheng Tingyuan was startled—the office number was Ye Chuyi’s. An absurd thought suddenly arose in his mind: could Ye Chuyi be Doctor Anxin?

No, impossible!

He quickly inquired, “How many people are in your office?”

“Two people, why?”

“Nothing.”

Sheng Tingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and then felt somewhat self-mocking. What was he thinking just now? How could Ye Chuyi possibly be Doctor Anxin? Setting aside the fact that she couldn’t be Director An’s granddaughter, just in terms of medical skill alone, she couldn’t be capable of performing tumor surgeries.
