Deep down, it felt like a needle tip just painfully pricked the softest part of her heart.

“I understand how both of you feel, but…” Xie Yi felt a bit hesitant. “I have decided to leave. The Capital is a prosperous place with preeminent talents, and there must be someone capable of helping the old lady to recover.”

Xie Yi herself is a patient.

Could she stay?

She dared not to stay.

She did not want to bother anyone anymore.

“Dr. Xie, the Capital is massive with many talents, but none of them are as skilled as you. I was the first person my grandmother saw when she woke up. She couldn’t recognize me, yet she treated you as my mother. Dr. Xie, I know that I’m imposing a burden on you, but could you stay for a little while? Then, can we discuss your departure after my grandmother’s condition recovered? Don’t worry about remuneration.”

Ye Tianxin’s words seemed to be bursting out one after the other.

There was a sense of urgency in her voice.

“No, it’s not a matter of money. I’m not short of money.”

Thanks to Xie Yi’s surgical technique, she did not need money at all.

With one surgery, she could earn money that many people could never receive throughout their entire lives.

She did not do surgeries for money but was simply fond of the days when she was able to use scalpels.

“Well, Dr. Xie, I will find anything you need as long as you’re willing to stay.”

Ye Tianxin kneeled with a straight posture. She was willing to do all that she could as long as Xie Yi could stay to calm her grandmother.

Xie Yi hesitated before saying, “I need to talk to my family about it. I can not give you the answer right away, but I don’t think you should keep your hopes up too much.”

Xie Yi couldn’t bear to see the glimmer of disappointment in Ye Tianxin’s eyes.

Ye Tianxin nodded and said, “Dr. Xie, sorry to trouble you.”

“Sir, please help your daughter up.”

Xie Xuning looked toward Xie Yi. There was a faint indifference in her voice.

Ye Tianxin’s legs were both numb from kneeling. Xie Xuning held her up and said, “Tianxin, let’s have Dr. Xie go back to think it over.”

“Dr. Xie, I hope you can stay.”

Xie Xuning turned his head over to face Xie Yi. He also hoped that Dr. Xie, who was standing right in front of him, could stay for his mother-in-law and Tianxin’s sake.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yi left with vigorous strides.

Only she could decide whether or not she would stay.

She had to consult with Shi Han before making such a decision.

They were her family, after all.

Naturally, such a crucial decision required getting their input.

Shi Han vetoed it right away after hearing Xie Yi’s plan, Shi Han immediately replied, “I object. I truly do, Xie Yi. You are aware of your physical condition better than anyone else. How could you take care of a patient if you can’t take care of yourself?”

The few times that Xie Yi fainted and the consequences of such episodes left Shi Han palpitated with anxiety and fear.

He wished more than anyone Xie Yi could live an ordinary life as everybody else did.

“Shi Han, the old lady needs me. She treats me as her daughter, and her condition might worsen if I leave.”

Holding his forehead with a headache, Shi Han stated, “Xie Yi, I know the old lady’s condition might get worse, but how about you? Have you ever thought about how to deal with the situation if you stay and fall ill? Xie Yi, I don’t wish them to treat you like a patient....”
