After spending some time in the office, Zhao Heng went to the ward.

Zhao Heng first came to Sun Xinxin's bedside and looked at her sitting up on the bed, visibly in better spirits, and asked, "How are you feeling today?"

"Much better, Dr. Zhao. When can I have the second surgery? Staying in the hospital all day is really boring."

Sun Xinxin nodded, somewhat impatiently asking.

For someone like Sun Xinxin, a top-level skier who undergoes intense training daily on the international ski fields, lying in bed day after day is indeed very unsettling.

"Judging by your current recovery, you should be able to undergo the second surgery in about a week."

Zhao Heng pondered for a moment before saying.

Sun Xinxin's first surgery was to embolize the aneurysm, stopping its growth and shrinking it. For an ordinary person, the surgery could be considered complete.

However, for Sun Xinxin, it is essential to consider her return to the sports field. Therefore, we need to repair the brainstem artery to withstand the blood flow pressure of intense exercise.

"Dr. Zhao, after the second surgery, when can I resume training?"

Sun Xinxin asked eagerly.

"If the second surgery goes smoothly, you should be able to attempt resuming training after about six months of recuperation. But given your situation, after lying down for three months, some mild muscle atrophy has already occurred, so it's hard to say how long it will take to return to your previous level."

Zhao Heng explained patiently.

"Another six months..."

Sun Xinxin said with some disappointment; she felt she couldn't wait even a day.

"Xinxin, let's listen to Dr. Zhao. The fact that you could wake up this time is something Mom is very grateful for. You have a strong foundation, so we will take it step by step. If not one year, then two; you will return to the field one day."

Seeing her daughter's impatience, Sun Xinxin's mother couldn't help but speak gently.

Hearing her mother's gentle tone, Sun Xinxin felt a bit shaken. Her mother now was completely different from the harsh figure in her childhood, supervising her training with scolding and hitting.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Dr. Zhao."

Sun Xinxin nodded to Zhao Heng after hearing her mother's words.

She knew that professional matters should be left to professionals and that she had to listen to expert advice.

To be honest, after waking up and understanding everything, it became clear to her that it was nothing short of a miracle that she had woken up, a close brush with disaster.

Therefore, her mindset should indeed be better than before.

"Dr. Zhao, when will the girl next door have her surgery?"

Sun Xinxin asked again.

"Her first-stage treatment went well. If all goes smoothly, after completing the second-stage treatment, we can consider surgery."

Zhao Heng replied.

"Dr. Zhao, is Miaomiao's medical bill enough? If not, I can help."

Sun Xinxin asked.

"You've already helped pay some of her expenses previously, and now a social assistance group is following up, so the medical expenses are not a big issue."

Zhao Heng said slowly. To be honest, he admired Sun Xinxin, this girl, very much. She possessed a rare quality seen in modern girls, a quality that could be described as loyalty.

Zhao Heng didn't know how to describe this quality of being helpful and keeping promises; if he had to describe it, it would be loyalty.

Moreover, Sun Xinxin had already helped pay some of Miaomiao's medical expenses before, all without informing Miaomiao and her father.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhao."

Sun Xinxin smiled happily.

Sun Xinxin genuinely liked the girl, Miaomiao. Although Miaomiao was young and seriously ill, Sun Xinxin knew that Miaomiao had a strong desire to survive.

This strong hope was very similar to her competitive spirit as a top athlete.

As a top athlete, one must have a strong desire to win. Without such a strong belief, it's impossible to sustain high-intensity training day after day.

"During this time, you can move around properly, but don't exert yourself too much."

Zhao Heng advised again.

"Okay, I understand."

Sun Xinxin nodded with a smile.

Next, Zhao Heng approached the bedside of the girl Miaomiao. With one glance, Zhao Heng noticed that Miaomiao's condition was noticeably better than when she was admitted.

On one hand, the tumor had stopped growing, and on the other hand, when someone sees hope, they want to grab onto it no matter what.

"How are you feeling today?"

Zhao Heng gently asked the girl Miaomiao.

"A bit better, it's not that painful anymore."

Miaomiao's voice was still weak, but compared to when she refused to talk, it was much improved.

"Dr. Zhao, when can she have the surgery?"

Miaomiao's father asked Zhao Heng anxiously.

"This is just the first stage of treatment. For the surgery, we have to wait until the second stage of treatment is complete, and the tumor has significantly shrunk to achieve the best surgical outcome."

Zhao Heng said.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Zhao. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do with Miaomiao."

Miaomiao's father said gratefully. Over the past few days, his gratitude toward Zhao Heng had become indescribable.

Having met a doctor like Zhao Heng, he truly believed there were true angels in white in the world.

After making his rounds, Zhao Heng returned to the office in the ward, where he saw someone waiting for him.

At a glance, it was Wang Yaoqing.

"Dr. Zhao."

Upon seeing Zhao Heng, Wang Yaoqing greeted him with a smile. This skill of greeting people with a smile was honed over years of business experience.

"Mr. Wang?"

Seeing Wang Yaoqing suddenly in the office, Zhao Heng was slightly surprised.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Zhao Heng asked again.

Other than having a meal with Wang Yaoqing because of Shu Xin, Zhao Heng felt there wasn't much connection between them.

"Dr. Zhao, you seem to forget important things. Remember last time when we had dinner, we talked about the development of the anesthesia assistant software. I'm still waiting for your feedback."

Wang Yaoqing explained.

Since their last conversation about developing the anesthesia assistant software, he had returned to his company to look into it, only to realize that this field was a complete market gap in the country.

In other words, once the software is developed, it's sure to be profitable.

But he had waited and waited for Zhao Heng's update in vain, so he came to the hospital to find him.

"Sorry, I've been too busy lately and completely forgot about this."

Mentioning this, Zhao Heng recalled that they indeed discussed it over their last meal, and he had promised Wang Yaoqing a response, yet ended up leaving him hanging.

"No worries at all, I'm here in person today anyway."

Wang Yaoqing continued smiling, seemingly unconcerned about being stood up.
