Medical road ahead

"Your sister's son?"

Qiao Tan suddenly remembered that Qin Xiao had mentioned that he had an older sister, but her older sister died of illness.

Qin Xiao nodded, picked up the coffee cup, drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, and then continued: "When I was pregnant with Xi'er, my sister was already in CDK stage 3, and the doctor suggested giving up the child. After all, CDK stage 3 is a watershed. , if the treatment works well, the condition will not worsen.”

"But your sister still insists on giving birth to Xi'er, right?" Qiao Tan asked softly.

"Ah."

Qin Xiao nodded, his brows gradually tightened, and his voice became hoarse, "My sister said that every life is hard-won, and I don't want to give up the child in my womb for my own sake. At that time, I was studying for a doctorate abroad. My sister deliberately kept this matter from me and didn't let my parents tell me, otherwise, I would definitely go back to China immediately to prevent her from keeping the child."

Qiao Tan pursed his lips, filled Qin Xiao's water glass with warm water, and said calmly, "If you want the fetus to grow up healthily, you can only choose to stop taking the medicine, but in this way, nephritis may intensify."

Qin Xiao picked up the water glass and took a few sips before continuing: "My sister was a moderate patient at the time. As long as she insisted on medication and supplemented with nutritional therapy, her condition should be under control, but she..."

After choking for a moment, Qin Xiao clenched his water glass, annoyed and blamed himself, "When I found out that my sister was suffering from chronic nephritis, I immediately changed my major to study medicine and gave up my diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts in order to help her recover. Heal. But I shouldn’t go to the United States to study for a Ph. D. If I stayed in China to study, I would never allow her to risk pregnancy.”

"Qin Xiao, we don't have the ability to predict, and we can't control everything. Although your sister is gone, Xi'er is here. Isn't Xi'er the incarnation of your sister?"

Qiao Tan held his trembling hands and comforted him softly.

"Xi'er..."

Thinking of his poor little nephew, Qin Xiao's expression suddenly became complicated, "Xi'er still doesn't know about my sister, he always thought I was his father."

"What about his biological father?" Qiao Tan asked with a frown.

"Oh! That weak man."

Qin Xiao sneered, clutching the glass firmly, as if venting his anger, "He couldn't bear my sister's death, and he didn't want to accept Xi'er. He felt that whenever he saw him, he would think of my sister. Finally, He left Xi'er to my parents, but he left and never heard from him again. So, I have already regarded him as a dead man, and Xi'er's father is not him, but me!"

"So, you have been taking care of Xi'er all these years?" Qiao Tan asked again.

Qin Xiao shook his head, "After Xi'er was born, my parents took care of him. At that time, I was too busy with my studies to take care of him. Originally, my mother and I really planned to let Xi'er stay with them to live, but As Xi'er grew older, he began to wonder about his birth and asked about his parents. In desperation, I had no choice but to pick him up and tell him that I was his 'Daddy'. He had been staying abroad , is a kindergartener who only returned to China in the past two years. In fact, he is already six years old and almost seven years old, but because he started school late, he is still in the kindergarten class."

"Then he never asked who his mother is?" Qiao Tan was curious.

"Why didn't you ask?"

Qin Xiao smiled wryly, and said: "Seeing that other children have parents, Xi'er will naturally ask where his parents are and why they are not by his side. In order to comfort him, I had to coax him to say that his mother In a far away place, he won't be able to see her until he grows up."

"Does he believe it?"

"I don't know if he believes it or not, but he often looks in the direction of the sky and keeps silent, wondering if he is missing his mother whom he has never met."

After finishing speaking, Qin Xiao lowered his eyes.

Qiao Tan noticed the tears flashing in his eyes, so he stopped asking, but filled his water glass again.

Afterwards, the two continued to be silent until the waiter stepped forward to remind the coffee shop that it was about to close, and then they got up and left.

"Can I go and see Xi'er tonight?"

After getting into Qin Xiao's car, Qiao Tan hesitated a little, and nervously made this request.

Qin Xiao asked with a smile: "Won't your parents be worried if you spend the night outside?"

"I'm not a child anymore." Qiao Tan pouted.

Qin Xiao smiled, bowed his head and pecked lightly on her plump lips, and fastened her seat belt again, "Then tell them that Director Qin left you to work overtime."

"puff!"

Hearing this, Qiao Tan chuckled, then put his hand around his neck, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any overtime pay?"

"Have."

Qin Xiao pretended to be serious and said: "I will send you a handsome guy and a handsome guy."

"Okay! I want to hug left and right."

Qiao Tan raised her delicate face and smiled like a flower.

When Qin Xiao saw this, the sadness hidden in his eyes gradually receded, replaced by a different kind of affection.

Then, he bowed his head again, and kissed Qiao Tan's delicate lips, tossing and turning, not letting go for a long time...

"Yo! Dr. Qiao is late today."

The next day, Qiao Tan, who never arrives late or leaves early, arrived at the hospital at 09:30, just in time to be caught by a colleague who had just finished the morning meeting.

"Last night, something happened, so I slept late." Qiao Tan said blushingly.

Mao Rui was curious: "Have you stayed up late chasing dramas?"

Looking at the black eyes in Qiao Tan's eyes, the rest of the people also gathered around, "What show are you watching, it's so good?"

"The chasing Ultraman."

Qiao Tan hesitated for a long time before murmuring.

"what?"

Everyone was stunned, and then panicked, "Are you also obsessed with Ultraman?"

I'm not obsessed, but my future son is!
Qiao Tan rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly.

After arriving at Qin Xiao's house last night, Qin Xi'er had already slept through it. She was startled when she saw the two of them, and then she dragged Qiao Tan to watch Ultraman with him as if they were familiar. , I saw two o'clock in the morning.

During the period, Qin Xiao curled up on the chaise longue and slept for a few minutes, leaving her and Qin Xi'er alone to chat about Ultraman all night.

To her surprise, Qin Xi'er was no stranger to her, and she called her "Flying Policewoman" when they met, and only then did she learn that she had such a nickname in the Qin family.

The Powerpuff Girls?

Thinking of this, Qiao Tan frowned and looked at Mao Rui in front of him, touched his face and asked, "Is my face really round?"

"what!"

Mao Rui laughed and joked, "Dr. Qiao, in our hospital, no one dares to compare with the moon except you."

"Is it really that round?"

Only then did Qiao Tan realize that the phrase "face is like a silver plate" was describing himself.

"Doctor Qiao, someone is looking for you."

Just as she was frowning, a nurse called her outside, and when she took a closer look, it was Pingguo who came.

correct!Pingguo came to see skin disease today.

She slapped herself hard on the forehead, quickly got herself back to work, and then walked towards Pingguo.

"Does my face scare you?"

When she approached, Pingguo slowly pulled down the mask, revealing his face covered with flat rashes, Qiao Tan was so frightened that his feet froze, and he froze in place...
