120: Chapter 121 Jiang Jing's Little Quirks

Both women gave Jiang Jing a sharp eye-roll; they couldn't understand why Jiang Jing was so obsessed with their feet...

Logically speaking, shouldn't he be focusing his attention on their ample chests instead?

To this, Jiang Jing offered no explanation.

Little did they know that it was truly rare to find a beauty with a pretty face, a good figure, and a pair of jade-like feet!

Now, Jiang Jing had unlocked a new use for the beauty serum!

Watching the two women roll their eyes, Jiang Jing feigned indignation: "It seems you still have too much energy. Since that's the case, let the music play and the dancing continue!"

With that, he pounced like a hungry tiger, starting a new round of battle.

Meanwhile, on Su Xiaoxiao's side, she was waiting anxiously...

In a Grade-A tertiary hospital next to Rong City, the lights in the operating room finally went out.

Su Xiaoxiao sprang up from the chair in the waiting area, her nails digging involuntarily into her palms.

She stared at the tightly closed door, her breathing almost coming to a halt.

The smell of disinfectant in the hallway, mixed with the harsh fluorescent lights, made her feel a bit dizzy.

The doctor, dressed in green scrubs, pushed the door open and emerged, eyes above the mask carrying a weary but relieved smile.

"Th-the surgery..."

"Was very successful." The doctor removed his mask, revealing a face drenched in sweat. "The tumor was completely removed, and the lymph node dissection was very clean. Your mother's vital signs are very stable."

Su Xiaoxiao's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground. She grabbed the doctor's white coat with trembling hands: "Really? Is my mother... really going to be okay?"

"It's thanks to catching it in time." The doctor steadied her. "Plus, we used the best imported drugs and equipment, so the post-operative recovery will be fast." He paused. "The money you paid was all put to the best possible use."

Su Xiaoxiao wept with joy. Trembling, she took out her phone and dialed the familiar number.

"Hello, Xiaoru... The surgery was successful!" Her voice was choked with emotion, almost unintelligible. "The doctor said... said Mom will get better soon..."

On the other end of the line came a burst of cheers and sobbing, and one could vaguely hear the other children at the orphanage chiming in: "Is Director Mother okay?" "I knew she would be fine!" "Big Sister Xiao is the best!"

Hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and followed the nurse to the intensive care unit.

Through the glass window, she saw her mother covered in tubes, her face as pale as paper, but the rhythmic lines on the monitor finally allowed her hanging heart to settle.

"The 24 hours after surgery are critical." The nurse explained softly. "You can go in to keep her company, but don't disturb her rest."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and pushed the door open on tiptoe.

The air conditioning in the patient room was set quite high; she shivered and carefully took hold of the hand her mother had left outside the quilt.

That hand, which once combed her hair, cooked for her, and wiped away her tears, was now so cold that it made her heart ache.

"Mom..." She lowered her voice, afraid of waking the sleeping person. "The doctor said you'll get better soon... I raised the money, and the best doctor performed the surgery..."

The ticking sound of the monitor seemed to be a response.

Su Xiaoxiao took wet wipes from her bag and gently wiped the sweat from her mother's forehead.

"Family of Bed 26?" The nurse came in and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "The patient is being transferred to a VIP room. Please come with us."

"Mom..." Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed, gently holding that calloused hand, afraid of hurting her.
