My Youth Began With Him

Seeing that person take the bag of money, Huo Yanyan smiled smugly.

In fact, she hadn’t thought her relationship with Huo Mian would deteriorate to such a state.

She had thought she could be friends with Huo Mian, just like everyone else such as Zhu Lingling and Jiang Xiaowei.

But she was sure Qin Chu had killed her mother; no matter who did it, Qin Chu or Su Yu, they were both close to Huo Mian.

The most painful thing for the two men was pretty simple, and that’s losing Huo Mian.

Even Huo Yanyan could see how deeply the two men loved Huo Mian.

– In South Hill Manor –

Huo Mian obeyed Qin Chu, who requested her to stay home or go to his office.

Huo Mian chose to stay home so she could be with her daughters.

With lots of free time at hand, she baked hand-made cookies and chocolate for the kids during the day.

In the evenings, she watched cartoons and parent-and-child programs with the kids and the baby in her belly. It was a relaxed and enjoyable life.

In his message to her on WeChat, Zhixin teased his elder sister that she finally got to live like a young madam after marrying into the wealthy family.

Huo Mian laughed at his message.

“No nonsense. Tomorrow, I’ll go over with the kids and have supper. Ask Mom to bake some crackers and make a tomato and cucumber soup for us, okay?”

“No problem, Sis. Mom would cook dinosaur meat for you so long as you come and visit us,” Zhixin continued to tease her.

“I think you look like a dinosaur. Okay. I’ve got to go. Supper is ready.”

Huo Mian ended the call.

But immediately she received a call from the hospital; it was from the switchboard number.

“Hello? This is Huo Mian.”

“Deputy Director, the hospital just received a patient who has a heart attack; his condition is critical, and we need to perform surgery on him. But the on-duty doctors of the Cardiovascular Department feel this operation is too difficult for them and asked us to get your opinion on it.”

“Call the First Hospital and get doctors from there,” Huo Mian suggested.

“But doctors of the First Hospital are doing a heart bypass operation and can’t spare surgeons to us,” the young nurse sounded anxious.

“How about Doctor Zhao of Cardiology Department? He lives not far from the hospital, right? Call him and tell him that I need him to work overtime.”

“We did. Doctor Zhao is on vacation with his wife and children in Hong Kong.”

“Uh…” Huo Mian wondered what she should do.

“Please consult with Director Wu and find a solution. The patient’s condition is critical and can’t wait for long…” the young nurse urged.

“I don’t have to consult with Director Wu. He’s gone to Jing City to attend a conference and is very busy; we don’t have to bother him with such trivial things. You get ready for the operation and I’ll get my stuff and race to the hospital. We will begin the operation in less than twenty minutes.”

“Whoa! Deputy Director, you’ll come in person. Great…”

“Yeah. Wait for me.”

“I’ll put the file in the drawer in your office; you can read it before coming to No.3 OR.”

“Okay.”

Huo Mian nodded and ended the call.

She picked up her coat and got up.

“Mom, where are you going? It’s supper time, and Dad called and said he’s on the way home,” Little Bean said.

“There’s an emergency case in the hospital; I must go there and handle it.”

“But, Mom, aren’t you on vacation? Besides, you’re in the management of the hospital, not a doctor on call. You don’t have to work so hard, right?” Little Bean pouted since she didn’t want her mom to leave.

“Little Bean, Mom is the deputy director, but…” Huo Mian paused for a moment.
