21st Century Necromancer

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.

Just as Nanami was feeling disappointed, thinking Doctor Chen Yu hadn't come to see her immediately after the surgery, Jounouchi Hiromi's voice suddenly rang out beside her, "Your Doctor Brother just finished performing your surgery and he's very tired, plus he needs to change his clothes, so it will take a little while before he can come to see you. In the meantime, will you let Doctor Sister check on you?"

As she spoke, Jounouchi Hiromi's figure appeared in Nanami's line of sight, carefully checking her body, then gently asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable or have any pain anywhere? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, or have any pain, you must tell Doctor Sister and the nurse sisters right away, okay? You mustn't bear it yourself, you know?"

Gaining the information she wanted most, Nanami's eyes brightened considerably, and she nodded slightly to indicate she understood.

Aside from worrying about why Chen Yu hadn't come to visit her, another matter came to Nanami's mind. Before the surgery started, she had asked Jounouchi Hiromi to tell Chen Yu that she liked him, and now she wondered if Jounouchi Hiromi had passed on the message.

And thinking about this, Nanami also remembered what Jounouchi Hiromi had told her before, that she was Chen Yu's girlfriend... Realizing what she had actually done, Nanami's face instantly turned red and she couldn't help but want to shrink down into the blanket.

However, she had just undergone surgery and clearly couldn't move. Plus, the effect of the anesthetic hadn't completely worn off, so Nanami could hardly feel her own body. Even though she wanted to hide under the covers, she still couldn't get her body to move, which only made the blush on her face grow more intense.

Seeing this, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, little girl, don't move around. You've just had surgery. If you move carelessly and the wound opens up, it could be very troublesome. Don't worry, the message you asked me to pass on to your doctor brother, he already knows!"

"But... isn't Doctor Brother actually your boyfriend, Doctor Sister?" Nanami asked with her little face turning red. However, after hearing what Jounouchi Hiromi said, she gave up on the idea of hiding under the covers and stopped trying to shrink down.

Nanami's words also caused Kosuke Kanai, who was by her side, to look towards Jounouchi Hiromi. He hadn't paid attention when he heard in the operating room that Nanami asked Jounouchi Hiromi to tell Chen Yu that she liked him, but now, when Nanami mentioned it, he realized that the female doctor before him was Chen Yu's girlfriend.

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.
