After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

early morning.

Lu Shiyi opened her eyes, touched the bedside, and found it empty.

Startled, she immediately got up and rushed to the ward door.

Just then, Lu Shuyao walked in.

"Where's Mom?" Lu Shiyi asked.

"Mom is in Dad's hospital room." Lu Shuyao's eyes were still red and swollen, and she kept her head down as she spoke.

"Mom said she wanted to get Dad discharged from the hospital and go back to her hometown this afternoon."

Lu Shiyi stood still, his mouth slightly open several times before he finally made a sound.

Her voice was hoarse with emotion as she choked back tears, "We'll listen to her. I'll go and get discharged in a bit."

……

Lu's mother stayed in Lu's father's hospital room for several hours at a time, and didn't come out until almost noon.

Upon seeing the Lu sisters, she forced a smile and said, "Your dad always complains that I nag, but when he can't find a moment to complain, I end up nagging for a long time without realizing it."

As she spoke, Aunt Lu bent down and began packing her things.

Actually, there's nothing to pack. I was admitted to the hospital in a hurry last night, so I didn't bring much.

But her hands never stopped working; she even folded the blankets on the hospital bed neatly and spread the sheets flat.

"By the way, Shiyi, can you get in touch with Dr. Zeng Huizhen? She's the doctor who saved Yaoyao's life last time. I just happened to be in the city, so I wanted to thank her in person." Aunt Lu lowered her head and wiped the already smoothed-out sheets with her palm over and over again.

During Lu Shuyao's last hospitalization, her parents came to take care of her for a while. At that time, Lu's mother overheard the nurses saying that if it weren't for Dr. Zeng Huizhen, Yaoyao would not have been saved at all.

She engraved the name 'Zeng Huizhen' deep in her heart at that time.

Knowing that Dr. Zeng Huizhen is usually very busy and difficult to schedule an appointment with, I have never had the chance to thank her in person.

This time, she wanted to give it a try.

Lu Shiyi was taken aback; she hadn't expected her mother to bring this up suddenly.

After realizing what was happening, she quickly said, "Aunt Zeng's family and Fu Cheng's family are very close. She happens to be at the Central Hospital. I'll contact her and see."

At noon.

Lu Shuyao went to the hospital cafeteria to buy food.

Fortunately, Dr. Zeng happened to be seeing patients at the hospital today.

During lunch break, Lu's mother went to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the third floor of the hospital.

Lu Shiyi offered to go with her, as the hospital was too big and he was afraid she wouldn't be able to find it.

But Lu's mother didn't allow it.

Third floor, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.

When Lu's mother arrived, Dr. Zeng had just finished seeing his last patient of the morning.

At this moment, only Zeng Huizhen and Lu's mother were in the chief physician's office.

Perhaps it was an innate reverence for medical professionals, coupled with the fact that Dr. Zeng across from her exuded wisdom and competence, that created a natural sense of distance that made Lu's mother feel somewhat awkward.

Seeing this, Zeng Huizhen smiled and spoke first: "Hello, you must be Eleven's mother. Eleven told me on the phone that you don't need to come here specifically to thank me. Treating patients and saving lives is my duty as a doctor, it's what I should do."

"That's true, but you really did save my daughter. If it weren't for you, my family would have fallen apart long ago..."

When Lu's mother said the last few words, her emotions fluctuated and her voice began to tremble.

Zeng Huizhen got up to pour water. Sensing Lu Ma's restraint and awkwardness, she waited until Lu Ma had calmed down before sitting back down opposite her and handing her the water.

"Do you know what the happiest moment is for a doctor?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lu's mother reached out and took the water, took a sip, and didn't say anything.

"When we snatch a life from the jaws of death, at that moment, we doctors feel the same way as the family members. So, I'm very happy to have been able to save your daughter."

Holding the paper cup in both hands, with a grateful heart, Lu's mother was at a loss for words.

After a long while, she finally spoke.

"I heard from Eleven that you two know each other, and that you are also very familiar with her in-laws. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I may not be able to count on this old woman, but my two daughters are in Nanshi. They are both very sensible and ambitious. If you need anything, you can ask them. Please don't be shy."

Zeng Huizhen smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I will."

"I've met that girl, Shiyi, a few times. To be honest, I quite like her."

Hearing Dr. Zeng's words, Lu's mother felt a little more at ease.

"Actually, when I first heard the name Lu Shiyi, I thought it was quite unique. Would you mind asking her about the origin of this name?" Zeng Huizhen asked sincerely.

"This one……"

Lu's mother looked up at Dr. Zeng, her face showing some difficulty.

“It’s okay, I was just asking casually, I didn’t mean to inquire. If it’s inconvenient for you, you don’t have to say,” Zeng Huizhen reassured her.

"Actually..."

After hesitating for a moment, Aunt Lu continued, "Actually, there's nothing inconvenient about it. Eleven will find out about these things soon anyway, so it's fine to tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Huizhen raised her hand to interrupt. She hadn't expected that her simple question about the origin of the name would lead to the other person's family affairs.

She dislikes gossip the most and never deliberately inquires about other people's affairs.

However, as soon as she raised her hand, Aunt Lu revealed the reason.

"To be honest, we named her Eleven after her birthday, November 11th, which is actually the day we found her..."

"Boom..."

When Zeng Huizhen's hand fell, she accidentally knocked over the thermos cup next to her.

The lid wasn't closed tightly, and water spilled all over the floor, getting some wet on her pants as well.

"Dr. Zeng, are you alright?"

Lu's mother quickly stood up and went over to help.

"it's okay no problem……"

Zeng Huizhen didn't even care about her wet pants. It was Lu's mother who noticed the tissues on the corner of the table and brought them over to help Dr. Zeng wipe them.

November 11th?

The day I found her...

Lu Ma's two sentences were incredibly damaging to Zeng Hui.

She patted her knee with slightly trembling hands. "It's okay, I'll wipe it myself."

After wiping her a couple more times, Aunt Lu handed her a tissue. "Dr. Zeng, this water is quite hot. Are you burned?"

"No, there's no burn, don't worry."

Zeng Huizhen wiped the paper twice as a symbolic gesture, then looked at Lu Ma, who had sat back down opposite her.

She knew it was just a coincidence, and that she was definitely overthinking it.

It can't be... it definitely can't be...

For her, November 11th has always been an exceptionally sensitive day over the years, which is why she reacted so strongly.

At this moment, Lu's mother did not notice anything unusual about Dr. Zeng.

She thought it was just a normal reaction from Dr. Zeng accidentally knocking over the thermos and getting burned.

Realizing that Dr. Zeng's pants were wet, she suddenly stood up and said, "Dr. Zeng, why don't you go change your clothes? I won't bother you any longer."
