Chen Hai made up his mind, released the broad hand resting on the girl's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "…Take your medicine properly. Don't be afraid. Once your body recovers, we'll go for the surgery."
"Hmm, brother."
He avoided looking into the girl's clear eyes, turned his head, and walked away. "I'm heading back first. Let Mrs. Qi know for me."
His strides were swift, his pace cutting through the air, just as quickly as he'd come. In the blink of an eye, he exited the small courtyard and disappeared down the field path.
At that moment, a middle-aged woman carrying a bowl of sweet soup stepped out of the main room. Noticing the yard was empty, she asked the girl curiously, "Hey, Qiqi, where did your brother go?"
"He said he's heading back first and told me to let you know."
