Chapter 15 Don’t worry

Patrick Metres listed Shen Mushan's test results one by one based on the 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram report and explained his condition to Shen Nanxi.

When speaking, add some hand movements to make his language more vivid.

Shen Nanxi listened attentively. When she encountered a term she didn't understand, she would politely interrupt and ask further questions.

At this time, Patrick Metres would explain patiently until Shen Nanxi understood, and then continue to talk about Shen Mushan's condition.

Half an hour passed by unknowingly.

The phone in Shen Nanxi's pocket vibrated silently.

Look down.

His expression did not change, but his breathing stagnated and he let out a breath after a long time.

Patrick Metres was still talking, but she was no longer interested in listening. She asked directly, "Patrick, when can my father's heart transplant surgery be performed?"

Patrick Metres was stunned, and a trace of ripples flashed in his green eyes.

He met Shen Nanxi's calm and indifferent eyes.

His hands were frozen in mid-air, neither moving nor still.

Shen Nanxi smiled, her face a little pale, said sorry, and left Patrick Metres' office with all the inspection reports.

Patrick Metres looked at her leaving back, suddenly woke up, took out his cell phone and dialed: "Victor..."

Shen Nanxi returned to the ward.

The medical examination report in her hand was pinched by her, leaving several deep wrinkles.

Just put it on the coffee table.

I poured myself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

Let your breathing flow more smoothly so that you can continue the conversation.

"Nannan, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Mushan saw that his daughter seemed like a different person. He began to get nervous and his words trembled.

"fine."

Shen Nanxi put down the cup and said, "Dad, I have agreed with the doctor to arrange a heart transplant for you on Friday."

"Nannan!"

Shen Mushan sat up and shouted, "I'm in good health, why do I need surgery?"

"Are you in good health?"

Shen Nanxi's brows were sharp: "Who told you? The doctor?"

Shen Mushan's expression changed, and he followed Shen Nanxi's words and said, "Yes, the doctor told me that. He said that I am in good health..."

"It can be controlled with medication, no surgery is necessary."

Shen Nanxi coldly interrupted Shen Mushan's words and added the following content.

Shen Mushan's lips trembled: "Nannan..."

Shen Nanxi walked up to him and relaxed her expression: "Dad, I don't want to hear you lie to me again. The heart transplant surgery must be done."

The light in Shen Mushan's eyes dimmed: "You know everything?"

Shen Nanxi: "Yeah."

This simple word made Shen Mushan sigh, and a bleak sadness gathered between his brows: "Nannan, I know I can't hide it from you, but I, but I am really worried about you..."

Shen Nanxi lowered her eyes: "Dad, if I settle down, will you feel more at ease?"

Shen Mushan looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes.

Shen Nanxi: "Xie Jingwei and I will let you hold your grandson sooner."

Night falls over the tall buildings of the port city.

When the flashy neon lights come on, the city becomes more charming than during the day.

The black Maybach sped along Nathan Road where the cold wind was blowing.

The through-type taillights lit up a bright red, then quickly blended into the night and disappeared.

Inside the quiet carriage.

Xie Jingwei lit a cigarette and glanced at Shen Nanxi with his eyes slanted. The smile on the corner of his lips was wanton and evil: "Nanxi, is what you said in the hospital true? You want to have a child with me?"

Shen Nanxi's face was illuminated by the neon lights coming in from the window. It was colorful and her specific expression could not be seen. She only knew that her long and charming eyes looked even more alluring after a few rays of light crossed each other.

In a quiet environment, looking at him, even without saying a word, is enough to arouse a thrill.

After a moment, he heard her speak.

"I lied to him."

Xie Jingwei frowned.

Shen Nanxi: "He lied to me once, and I lied to him once. It's fair."

"I knew it."

Xie Jingwei's eyes were filled with disappointment, but he couldn't help asking: "You told me so bluntly, aren't you afraid that I will tell Dad tomorrow?" Shen Nanxi raised her eyebrows: "You can't just say you have a child, what are you going to tell Dad tomorrow? You can't? You can't have a child?"

Xie Jingwei choked and felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe in or out.

It took him a long time to recover, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Nanxi, I'm good!"

Shen Nanxi: "Really?"

The last line of his voice rose, questioning Xie Jingwei's words.

Xie Jingwei tilted his head and smiled, threw away the cigarette in his hand, reached out and clasped Shen Nanxi's head, brought the person in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to try?"

Shen Nanxi looked him straight in the eyes: "No need."

The distance is too close.

Xie Jingwei's eyes unconsciously fell on Shen Nanxi's lips.

The pink lips, as delicate as two petals, had just drunk water and there was still crystal clear water light on them. When they opened and closed, they were like late cherry blossoms, bright and tempting.

He couldn't help it and lowered his head.

What she got in return was Shen Nanxi turning her head away.

"Xie Jingwei, there are some things that you shouldn't do, don't do them."

The cold voice brought Xie Jingwei back to his senses.

He took his hand back and tugged at the crooked collar: "What a bummer! I helped you, but you didn't let me get any benefits."

Shen Nanxi said generously: "Thank you."

Xie Jingwei sneered: "Just a thank you?"

Shen Nanxi looked ahead expressionlessly: "Xie Jingwei, you didn't help me, you just tried to please both sides. Before I noticed, you completed the task given by my father. When I found out, you sold me a favor, and you will never suffer any loss."

Xie Jingwei was startled, his hand holding the cigarette froze in place: "How smart."

The reason why Shen Nanxi discovered that Shen Mushan had lied to her was not because the examination report was false.

On the contrary, there was nothing wrong with the inspection report. Shen Yu asked a professional to look at it, and the conclusion he came to was the same as what Patrick Metres said.

But the key to the problem lies in the two words "no difference".

She interrupted Patrick Metres several times, but each time, Patrick Metres was able to continue smoothly, as if he had rehearsed it in advance and just read it out from the script.

What's more, Kang Ruimin came to see her today and talked about what happened last week.

This made her suspect that Shen Mushan wanted to team up with Xie Jingwei to deceive her.

Kang Ruimin was the clue that Xie Jingwei gave her to see the truth.

Xie Jingwei really likes this kind of communication.

Don't do things to the extreme, leave a little gap for others to squeeze into. As for whether it is good or bad, it depends on his mood at the time.

Of course, this is just Shen Nanxi's guess.

So when she was in the ward, she spoke harshly and deceived Shen Mushan.

Fortunately, she understood her father's weakness, and once she lied, all the truth became clear.

Shen Mushan has relied too much on drugs in recent years, which has led to heart failure and puts him at risk of sudden death at any time.

A heart transplant has reached the point where it must be done.

However, the success rate is not high, only 70%.

Seventy percent sounds like a very safe number, but it is very low for a heart transplant surgery. Once it fails, there is no room for rescue.

That's why Shen Mushan lied to her.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Shen Nanxi persuaded Shen Mushan to undergo the surgery.

“Seventy percent success rate” is much safer than “sudden death at any time”.

Shen Mushan looked at the determination in his daughter's eyes, and finally gave up forcing her and left her life and death to God.

As for the source of heart, Xie Jingwei arranged it with just one sentence.

Only Saturday to start the operation...

The Maybach drove into the commercial district of Tsim Sha Tsui.

There are shops lining both sides of the street, with traffic and crowds as surging as ever. The stacked old-fashioned signs are lit up by a circle of neon lights, and a hint of the old times can be seen in the prosperity.

After a moment of silence, Xie Jingwei turned the grinding wheel and lit a cigarette: "Nan Xi, I just think that you should know about your father's situation."

He couldn't directly go against his father-in-law's wishes, so he had to remind him in a tactful way.

It is really unfair to try to please both sides.

"I know."

After calming down, Shen Nanxi was no longer as sharp as before. Her voice was as soft as the night wind, and it slowly drifted to Xie Jingwei's ears: "I will open a movie for Kang Ruimin next month, don't worry."

Xie Jingwei: “???”
