The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

“So what’s the bet?”

“If you are able to stand up by then, you shall promise me something. How about that?”

“Sure,” Zhan Lichuan immediately agreed without any hesitation.

“You won’t even ask me what the promise will be about?”

Zhan Lichaun looked at her and asked with a stern tone, “Will it be something that I won’t be able to do even if I could stand?”

“Um… I don’t think so. It’s actually a very simple thing.”

She was bought into the Zhan family and their marriage was bound by a contract.

She was always someone who respected contracts.

Therefore, if she wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, she would need the other party to agree as well.

Zhan Lichuan didn’t realize that this promise that he had made so recklessly, thinking that it was something where he would have to go through all sorts of difficulties, was actually their marriage contract.

He replied to Jing Qian with a tone full of many emotions, “If it’s something that I will be able to do, there’s no need for me to ask any question.”

Then, he added, “But I trust your instincts. If it was something that I would be able to help, you can just tell me now.”

Jing Qian was stunned, letting out a dry cough.

“Uhhh… That wouldn’t be necessary. It’s just a trivial matter. I was only betting just to let you know that my predictions have always been very accurate.”

Zhan Lichuan’s mood had been successfully lightened up by Jing Qian’s words as he replied in a happy tone, “I appreciate your kind words.”

“Oh, by the way, was Professor Hong Lu here today? What did she say? Did grandfather decide on what to do?”

“Yes, she came by earlier in the day. She looked through my case notes and said that she would only be able to restore the sensations to my fingers. Other than that, there was nothing that she could do during the surgery. However, she mentioned that the Lawrence Institute has recently hired a new, well-established professor that specializes in neurosurgery, and this professor would know my condition better.

“Grandfather asked if he could meet with this professor but Professor Hong Lu mentioned that the professor is extremely busy. She would only call for the professor if we agreed to the surgery. But, since we don’t know much about this professor, grandfather hasn’t decided on what to do now.”

As Zhan Lichaun was saying these, Zhan Lichuan carefully looked at Jing Qian. He had a feeling that the new professor that Hong Lu mentioned could be Jing Qian.

However, after thinking about it, he felt that this may be a little too much.

Although Jing Qian knew acupuncture, massages, and had even saved his life with the medicine that she got from the Secret Web, it wouldn’t make sense if she was the new professor. She was still so young.

He was trying to see something from Jing Qian’s eyes. It was a pity, as there was only a calm, peaceful expression on her face, and he didn’t notice anything.

“Since you have no other choice and Professor Hong Lu thinks that the professor has the solution, why don’t you give him a chance then?”

Zhan Lichuan’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “You think that I should be treated by that professor?”

“I think that… Since you have no other choice, shouldn’t you just try any possible choice?”

“Didn’t you just say that you were sure that I could stand up? Why are you saying now that I have no other choice?”

Jing Qian was dumbfounded.

She kept quiet for a while, as she had no idea how to answer such a hypocritical question.

“Big brother has already contacted Dong Yuetong and she will be coming over later. Grandfather was hoping that we would be able to meet both parties before deciding.”

Zhan Lichuan decided to tell the truth and stopped messing around with the woman in front of him.

“Oh.”

Seeing that Jing Qian had no comment on it, Zhan Lichuan asked instead, “Do you know Dong Yuetong?”

“Never heard of her.”
