When Nanami awoke, the surgery was already over.

"Nanami, are you awake? How do you feel? Is there anywhere that's uncomfortable?" Seeing Nanami open her eyes, Kosuke Kanai, who had been sitting by the bedside, immediately stood up, looking at his daughter with concern, afraid that she might be feeling unwell somewhere.

However, Nanami simply shook her head slightly to indicate she was fine, then tried hard to raise her head, her eyes roaming around the ward, searching for a particular figure she wanted to see.

Seeing his daughter behave like this, Kosuke Kanai hastily asked, "What are you looking for, Nanami? Do you want some water? The water is here."

As he spoke, Kosuke Kanai hurried to bring over a cup of water that had already cooled, inserting a straw and trying to feed it to his daughter.

But Nanami still shook her head and asked in a weak and hoarse voice, "Where's Doctor Brother?"

Perhaps worried that her father might overthink, or maybe just wanting to know the outcome, Nanami added another question, as if to disguise her real concern, "Was the surgery successful?" Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

"Don't worry, Professor Chen Yu said the surgery was very successful. Once the wound has healed, Nanami, you'll be able to stand up!" Hearing Nanami ask about the surgery, Kosuke Kanai, concerned and confused but without doubt, quickly answered her.

But for Nanami, this was obviously not the answer she wanted to hear, and there was a tinge of disappointment in her eyes.

This naturally made Kosuke Kanai feel very uncomfortable, thinking that Chen Yu, already having a girlfriend, shouldn't be attracting his daughter's attention.

However, before Kosuke Kanai could express his displeasure, Jounouchi Hiromi had already smiled and said, "But what does that matter? Nanami, you liking him is just proof of the sister's good taste, picking a good man that everyone likes, right? And even if you like him, the sister is already engaged to him, and we're getting married this year, so he won't like you back. What does your liking him matter? Besides, you're only sixteen, aren't you? A sixteen-year-old girl's affection is just a naive feeling, far from what true love really is!"

Jounouchi Hiromi's words made Nanami feel somewhat defiant, but remembering that the other was Chen Yu's girlfriend and they were engaged, she couldn't help feeling a wave of disappointment.

Indeed, as Jounouchi Hiromi had said, she was only sixteen. What could she do to compete with a mature sister? Thinking this, Nanami couldn't help feeling dejected.

"Okay, little girl, stop thinking all over the place. Right now, what you need to do is to heal properly, and once you're better, then think about who you like," Jounouchi Hiromi said firmly and then stroked Nanami's little head before smiling at Kosuke Kanai, and said, "Member of Parliament Kanai, I've checked your dear daughter's condition, and there are no issues at the moment. A nurse will come soon to take care of the postoperative nursing. If there are any problems, you can directly press the call button next to the bed."

"Alright, I understand, thank you!" Kosuke Kanai hastily thanked Jounouchi Hiromi. No matter what he thought internally, it was both reasonable and proper to thank Chen Yu after he had operated on his daughter. Although Chen Yu wasn't there, since Jounouchi Hiromi was Chen Yu's girlfriend, thanking her was just the same.

While thanking Jounouchi Hiromi, Kosuke Kanai gestured to his secretary to bring over the gift he had prepared in advance, and handed it to Jounouchi Hiromi, "Doctor Jounouchi, here are some Naniwa Hot Spring Buns. They taste really good. Take them back and enjoy them with Doctor Chen Yu!"

"That's not appropriate, Member of Parliament Kanai, our hospital has a policy against accepting anything from patients." Upon hearing it was Hot Spring Buns, Jounouchi Hiromi immediately knew what it was and quickly expressed her refusal, "You don't need to do all this. Healing and saving lives is our duty as doctors. We commit to treating every patient with or without such gifts. Please take it back."

Having said that, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't wait for Kosuke Kanai to continue; after bowing slightly to him, she left the hospital room directly.
