Chapter 450: Chapter 450 - 451: Familiar (4)

Though Bai Changyou was a little puzzled, he didn’t pursue the matter further.

As the elevator descended, it took him and his questions away.

Outside the intensive care unit.

Lu Weixi looked at Zhao Zihao and the other doctors and nurses anxiously as they emerged, and hurriedly greeted them, “Doctor Zhao, why hasn’t my mother woke up yet?”

Zhao Zihao gently responded, “The time it takes for a patient to wake up after brain cancer surgery depends on chance. It could be a day, or it could be several days.”

“So she might never wake up?” Lu Weixi was somewhat anxious. She knew being anxious wouldn’t help, but anyone in this situation would be. She needed a definite answer to feel reassured.

Her mother had already endured this once before. After the intervention surgery, her mother didn’t wake up for a long time. Even when she did, she had difficulty moving and her vision was blurry. It took a long time for her to recover enough to go to America for treatment. But Bai Changyou and his family ruined that!

“There’s a chance. But Auntie Lu is in better shape this time, and she’s strong-willed; plus, she has the support of our expert team.” Zhao Zihao smiled, “This was an open skull surgery, they also cut out the lesions in her liver. Such a major surgery naturally takes longer to recover.”

Although Qin Zhiyou didn’t really like Zhao Zihao, he knew Zhao Zihao was professional. Therefore, he simply comforted Lu Weixi with a hug, “Mother will be fine, she has divine protection.”

Qin Zhigu hadn’t left yet; since he had come, naturally he wanted to see how Auntie Lu was doing. He nodded and added, “Don’t worry too much, Auntie Lu will be alright.”

Zhao Zihao glanced at the three of them; his gaze lingered on Lu Weixi before slipping towards the displeased Qin Zhiyou. Finally, his gaze stopped on Qin Zhigu. His gold-rimmed glasses reflected a ray of light, “And you are?”

Qin Zhigu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lu Weixi, and Qin Zhiyou frowned even more deeply. Just as he was about to answer, Lu Weixi replied, “He’s also my relative.”

No further introductions were given.

Her brother-in-law was indeed also her relative.

Qin Zhiyou snorted disdainfully but did not object.

Qin Zhigu paused briefly and then stepped forward, “Hello, Dr. Zhao. My name is Qin Zhigu”

Zhao Zihao also smiled, “Hello, Zhao Zihao.”

Qin Zhigu looked at him, looked at the smile showing under his gold-rimmed glasses, and suddenly felt that, strangely enough, this man looked very familiar.

But despite this sensation of familiarity, he knew he didn’t know this man. It just felt a little strange.

Qin Zhigu slightly furrowed his brows and asked, “Dr. Zhao, where did you work previously?”

Zhao Zihao smiled, “Right after graduation I came here to China, about three years ago. Before that, I studied in Germany.”

Qin Zhigu further inquired, “Have you been to America before?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhao Zihao smiled, “Of course, I visited the University of Minnesota Medical School last year for a presentation.”

Minnesota, Qin Zhigu hadn’t visited that state before, so they should not have met there.

Zhao Zihao asked again, “Is there anything else you would like to ask, Mr. Qin?”

Qin Zhigu shook his head, “No. But Dr. Zhao, you look quite familiar. Maybe I’m mistaken.”

Qin Zhiyou silently thought to himself. Actually, he also felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first saw Zhao Zihao, he just couldn’t figure out where he had seen him before.
