After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1094 Surgery

?

After four or five hours, Tan Jing gradually woke up. Currently, she was only given anti-inflammatory medicine and painkillers to temporarily alleviate her pain. If she wanted to get well completely, she would need to undergo surgery.

"Where… where am I?" Tan Jing asked weakly.

"Elder sister, you're awake. We're in the hospital now. When we were talking, you suddenly fainted from pain. The doctor says that you have acute appendicitis and need surgery. I'm not your family member so I can't sign off for you. Do you want me to call your husband?" Cheng Gu asked tentatively.

Tan Jing closed her eyes slowly. The last thing she wanted was to deal with such a situation. She would rather that she had simply died in the park.

Right now, she did not have any money on her and could not even afford to pay for the treatment and hospitalization today. She felt too embarrassed to ask Xia Wen for money and she definitely could not count on that bunch of heartless people from the Tan family. She was alone and helpless now and did not have anyone who could help her.

"Elder sister, if you have any difficulties, just let me know. I can help you with anything!" Cheng Gu said firmly as he held Tan Jing's hands.

"Why are you treating me this way? This is only the second time we've met," Tan Jing asked.

"Because… because I like… I feel that elder sister gives me a sense of familiarity. It feels as if you're my own elder sister." Cheng Gu almost blurted out his true feelings.

Tan Jing was not an innocent young lady without any life experiences, so it was not as if she could not understand what Cheng Gu meant. Unfortunately, she was already a married woman and much older than Cheng Gu. Even if she was not married, the two of them were still not suitable for each other.

Cheng Gu could not explain why he liked Tan Jing. Perhaps it was because he worked in the arts field and was particularly obsessed with the pursuit of beauty. When he first saw Tan Jing, he felt that she epitomized his idea of a perfect image and looked indescribably beautiful. He really liked that sense of beauty coming from Tan Jing. Even if no one else saw it the same way, it did not change how he felt and it was as if he was intoxicated by it.

He was willing to do anything to protect this sense of beauty. It did not affect how he felt even when he knew that Tan Jing had a husband. He just wanted to be by her side and protect her silently.

Tan Jing did not share his feelings. Instead of giving Cheng Gu the wrong impression, she wanted to make it clear to him and make him give up that idea completely.

"You're younger than me, so you can be my younger brother. From now on, I'll treat you like my own younger brother," Tan Jing said gently.

Cheng Gu did not have much of a reaction to what she said. He avoided the topic and said, "Elder sister, I've already paid for the treatment and the surgery. When the time comes, I'll sign off for you. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"

"You want to sign off? How are you able to fool the doctor? Even if I treat you like my younger brother, we're not related by blood. The hospital won't allow you to sign off for me," Tan Jing said with a laugh.

"Don't worry, I definitely can!" Cheng Gu said confidently.

He had relatives working in this hospital and who could still help with such a small matter. Even if his relatives could not help, he still had his brothers and friends who could definitely settle the matter for him.

Early the next morning, Tan Jing was wheeled into the operating theater. The surgery went well and she would recover as long as she rested well.

Tan Jing only woke up after sleeping for the entire afternoon. By now, she had already left home for two days. If the Tan family realized that she was missing and reported it to the Xia family, Xia Wen would have appeared in her ward by now.

Given the Xia family's influence in the capital, they would easily find out that she was in the hospital. It only meant that the Tan family did not take her disappearance seriously at all.

Tan Jing could not help but feel a little disappointed. Even if she died outside now, no one would know about it. No one would care about her until her body rotted and stank and she was discovered by strangers.

"I…" Tan Jing looked at Cheng Gu and said hoarsely.

Cheng Gu quickly picked up the glass of water and let Tan Jing take sips. After that, he even made some rice gruel for Tan Jing to fill her stomach. After the surgery, she needed to regain her strength but she could only have a liquid diet.

It was only two days later that Tan Jing felt a little better. Her constitution was weak to begin with, so she recovered slower than most people after surgery. After Cheng Gu took care of her attentively during the past two days, she could already hold a conversation with him and even tell jokes occasionally!
