Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1762: Life Will Be Beautiful

"Worse still, there's someone else lying on my daughter's bed! Nurse, where's my daughter? Where has she been transferred to? She was complaining about being unwell previously. Did something serious happen?"

Could it be that she had been sent back into the treatment ward?

If that were the case, it would be a problem for Zijin's kidney transplant. If Nan Nan could not donate her kidney, Zijin would have no choice but to wait until a suitable kidney appeared.

As he guessed whether that was really the case, Qiao Dongliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It felt as though the heavens were playing a trick on him. It was not that he wanted to help Nan Nan and thought that Zijin's life was not as important as Nan Nan's kidney. But there was nothing he could do if there were problems with Nan Nan's kidney and she was thus unsuitable to be a donor.

If Zijin could not hold up and wait any longer, then he and Ding Jiayi would get themselves checked to see whose kidney would be more suitable for Zijin.

With that thought, Qiao Dongliang realized that he could keep calm when thinking about his daughter, Qiao Nan, unlike how he had been in the past when he had no guts to even see his daughter in the eye.

"Your daughter? May I know which ward your daughter was in? I'll have to check before I'm able to answer you accurately."

Hearing the nurse's words, Qiao Dongliang immediately told her Qiao Nan's ward number.

"Oh, this patient. Congratulations. Your daughter has completely recovered. She was discharged yesterday at noontime. Didn't she return home after being discharged? Weren't you guys the ones who picked her up yesterday?"

"…" Qiao Dongliang was stunned as though someone had hit him with a stick. "You're saying that my daughter was discharged yesterday at noontime?"

"Yes, that's what our hospital records show."

"No, that's impossible. None of us helped her with her discharge procedures. Could you have gotten her mixed up with someone else?" No, how could Nan Nan have been discharged? Nan Nan had not mentioned it to him when he had come to visit her just yesterday. "Besides, I delivered dinner to her last night, and I even brought breakfast over this morning. How could my daughter…"

Qiao Dongliang was so agitated that his entire face was flushed. Slanting his eyes, he looked at the thermal flask that he had delivered this morning. "Look. This was what I brought this morning. I…"

Wait a minute. Nan Nan had not eaten last night's dinner?!

Seeing how agitated Qiao Dongliang was, the nurse was taken aback and handed the thermal flask over to Qiao Dongliang. "I'm sorry. It could be that there are too many patients in our hospital. Besides, our nurses work shifts as well. It could be that this was forgotten when we changed shifts. But isn't it good news that the patient has recovered and has been discharged?"

His daughter, who had been sick, had finally recovered and could return home. But his reaction as a family member seemed a little out of the ordinary. "Did the patient return to her own home?" Looking at this old man, she was sure that his daughter was already married with her own children. Now that she had finally recovered, wasn't it only natural for her to return to her own home?

But then again, Qiao Nan had been hospitalized for quite some time, yet she had never seen Qiao Nan's in-laws.

Understanding what the nurse meant, Qiao Dongliang's face paled. He was too embarrassed to tell the truth that Qiao Nan was still unmarried though she was nearing the age of forty.

Taking the thermal flask over from the nurse, Qiao Dongliang made his way toward Qiao Zijin's ward. But three steps later, he turned around and headed for the hospital's exit. He hesitated and went back and forth around five to six times. In the end, Qiao Dongliang was back to square one.

At that moment, Qiao Dongliang's heart was pounding so rapidly that he felt as flustered as a headless fly that had no sense of direction.

What should he do? What should he do now?

Nan Nan had been discharged, but he had not known about it at all! Old Ding had probably not known either, right? If Old Ding had known, she would definitely have told him. Did that mean that Nan Nan had gone through the discharge procedures herself?

Why had Nan Nan not told him or anyone else about getting discharged? Would Nan Nan? Probably not! He had not even discussed with Nan Nan about the matter of her kidney after she had woken up.

Besides, Nan Nan was such a good kid. She had sacrificed so much for this family and for her elder sister, Zijin. She had already come so far. Now that Zijin was at death's door, all they needed was one of Nan Nan's kidneys. They were not asking for Nan Nan's life! Based on Nan Nan's usual temper and habit, Nan Nan would definitely not refuse.

So there was no way Nan Nan would choose not to donate her kidney to Zijin or silently discharge herself without telling anyone else. Yes, that was right. Nan Nan was a good kid. He had known this fact all along.

Nan Nan was probably afraid to trouble him and knew that Old Ding had to stay by Zijin's side to take care of her. That was why that sensible child had chosen to go through the discharge procedures all by herself. Nan Nan felt sorry for Old Ding because she had to worry about Zijin's illness and other things. That was why Nan Nan had decided not to add to their worries.

Qiao Dongliang took a few deep breaths. When other people looked at him as though he was a lunatic, he finally relaxed his shoulders and left the hospital with the thermal flask in his arms. Nan Nan had been discharged, but he was sure that she would not return to the Qiao family's small courtyard.

There were only that many rooms in the Qiao family's house. Even when Zijin had not been divorced, they had to leave a room for Zijin so that she had a single room to herself whenever she came home. From then on, Nan Nan had moved out of the Qiao family's small courtyard and had never spent a night there.

Now that Zijin had gotten a divorce and had moved back into her parents' home, even more so was it impossible for Nan Nan to return to the Qiao family's home to fight over a room with Zijin. In that case, Nan Nan must have returned to her small rental apartment upon her discharge.

That would not do. This time, he had to have a proper chat with Nan Nan. After experiencing such a catastrophe, Nan Nan should learn to lead a better life in the future. Even if she could not return to the Qiao family's small courtyard and wanted to rent her own apartment instead, she should at least rent a larger one.

In the future…

In the future, if Old Ding ever asked Nan Nan for money on Zijin's behalf, he would definitely rein Old Ding in and disallow Old Ding from doing so. Nan Nan was already all grown-up, but she did not have any savings for herself. That was no good at all.

To put it harshly, the house that Zijin had gotten as dowry had been bought entirely with Nan Nan's money! It was about time Nan Nan saved up to get herself a house. As long as Nan Nan donated her kidney to save Zijin's life, he was confident that he would be able to convince Old Ding to agree with his plan.

Everything was going well! His younger daughter had been discharged, and his elder daughter would be cured soon! In the future, Nan Nan would not need to sacrifice her whole life for Zijin any longer and could live her life well. That was how life should be, where everything was sailing smoothly. At this moment, Qiao Dongliang felt that life would only get more beautiful in the near future.
