Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Her Specialty is Brain Tumors Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Her Specialty is Brain Tumors Ye Chuyi sent the message and was about to change into her scrubs for surgery, but she was suddenly notified by the operating room that today’s surgery had been canceled.

The patient hadn’t followed the doctor’s orders and ate a big bowl of beef noodles before the surgery.

Ye Chuyi shook her head; every time they emphasized the importance of fasting before surgery, and every time there were people who didn’t listen.

She decided to just wait in her office for her senior fellow disciple’s neighbor to meet her.

However, she didn’t wait for her senior fellow disciple’s neighbor, but her good husband arrived instead.

When Sheng Tingyuan walked in, her eyelids twitched, “Why are you here again? I’m not off work yet. You’re not coming to pick me up and take me home now, are you?”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t respond to her and sat down on the sofa on his own.

He glanced at the empty desk beside him, piled with books and various materials, a sign of someone who seriously worked—the desk likely belonged to Doctor Anxin.

He then looked towards Ye Chuyi, who was steeping tea in a glass cup, with a pile of chocolates and other snacks on her desk, looking completely at ease and lightly said, “Do you just drink tea and play with your phone in the office every day? Being a doctor can be so relaxing, not having a single patient. You must be the first.”

Ye Chuyi: “…”

She retorted, “No matter how easygoing I am, I’m not as laid-back as you. An heir who doesn’t act like one, wandering around idly all day, not working. It’s no wonder the Sheng Family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Ye Family. Probably afraid you’ll squander the family fortune.”

“I am working. The Sheng Family’s fortune won’t be squandered.”

“You’re even more idle than I am. When do you work?”

“When you can’t see me.”

Ye Chuyi was speechless; he really dared to give himself too much credit.

She and he had been taking turns undermining each other for over half an hour when a phone call finally interrupted them.

Sheng Tingyuan answered the call, and his expression changed slightly, “I’ll be right back.”

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but ask him, “What’s happened?”

Sheng Tingyuan walked out while saying, “My mother is vomiting uncontrollably, and her nosebleed won’t stop.”

Driven by her doctor’s instincts, Ye Chuyi followed, “Let me come with you to have a look!”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t refuse, and took her home with him.

By the time they got back, Tang Jin had stopped vomiting, and her nosebleed had stopped after a long time of icing.

She lay weakly on the bed, relieved to see the young couple back together, “When Uncle Xiang called, the two of you were together, right? That’s good, a couple should spend more time together.”

Sheng Tingyuan, seeing her face pale as paper, said in a low voice, “Mom, let’s still go to the hospital. I’ll find you the best doctor and have another surgery.”

“I don’t want to go to the hospital, and I don’t want to have the surgery. I’m fine as is.”

Tang Jin had always refused Sheng Tingyuan’s repeated suggestions to have another surgery before.

First, she didn’t want to suffer through it again, and second, she knew the chances of surgery success were low. If the surgery failed, she could become comatose or even pass away.

She wanted to see her son and daughter-in-law clearly, even if she couldn’t see their children born, at the very least, she wanted to witness their genuine, sweet love.

“That’s enough, you two don’t need to stick around me. I’m fine. You go do what you need to, better yet, go on a honeymoon to a scenic place before coming back.”

Ye Chuyi turned to look at Sheng Tingyuan, and seeing him nod, followed him out.

As they descended the stairs, she couldn’t help asking Sheng Tingyuan, “What illness does she have? Why won’t she go to the hospital?”

“Brain tumor. She had surgery before, and for a long time after that, she lost her sense of taste and sight. Only after another surgery did she recover, but then she became uncoordinated and had to use a wheelchair. It took her half a year of care before she could walk a bit.”

Ye Chuyi understood; it was the serious postoperative complications that made Tang Jin fearful.

However, she was a doctor specializing in tumors, with expertise in brain tumors!

She stood up resolutely, “I’ll go convince her. She can have surgery at our hospital. We have the most top-notch equipment and doctors.”
