Ten minutes later, a baby's cry broke the silence of the corridor, bringing a sigh of relief to those outside.

The midwife also came out carrying a little boy.

"Congratulations, young master, on the birth of your son."

"How is Madam?"

"Dr. Wang is treating the wound and it will take some time. You can ask Dr. Wang when he comes out. I don't know anything else."

"That!"

Li Qing knew that now was not the time to ask questions. Instead, she kept an eye on the child and the door, clearly quite anxious.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Tianhao came out with his hand covered in blood. He went over and asked anxiously, "Dr. Wang, how is my wife?"

"She's alright now, but she's completely passed out. When the ship docks, we'll take her to the hospital to help with the inflammation, since we don't have any antibiotics here, you understand?"

"To prevent wound infection, after all, this is surgery."

"Thank you, Dr. Wang! Thank you, Dr. Wang!"

He was relieved to hear that his wife was alright.

As he spoke, he had several silver dollars delivered to express his gratitude to Zhang Tianhao, since the surgery had been so sudden and had even saved the family's lives.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Zhang Tianhao didn't say much, but accepted the money, took the scalpel, and went straight to the bathroom to wash off the bloodstains and other smells.

……

Back in the restroom, Zhang Tianhao began washing the blood off his hands, cleaning the scalpel, and disinfecting it with alcohol.

Furthermore, the needles and thread are sterilized again, and all the unused ones are put away.

After he finished cleaning up, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go straight to his room.

Back in his room, he closed the door, lay down on the bed, and picked up a small, wax-sealed paper ball.

Looking at the sealed crumpled paper in his hand, he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Just as the child was being taken out, the woman regained consciousness, looked at Zhang Tianhao, and said to him with some difficulty, "Dr. Wang, please help me take this crumpled paper to Chen's Cloth Shop in Dalian and find Boss Chen. Tell him it's a letter from his hometown. If he says no, then tell him it was sent by his aunt. If he says it was sent by his aunt, then give it to him. If he says something else, then don't give it to him."

"please!"

As she spoke, she took the small crumpled paper directly from her hair near her ear and placed it in his hand, which is how this crumpled paper came to be.

This woman, whom even her husband hadn't entrusted to him, trusted him so much. He was somewhat puzzled and didn't even understand why she would ask him to do it.

After all, he didn't know the other person well, or rather, the other person didn't know him at all, yet they directly asked him to deliver this crumpled piece of paper, which made him even more confused.

As for whether it was a trap, he wasn't quite sure, or even who the other party was.

She fainted before she could finish speaking. After all, it was quite an achievement to have survived an operation without anesthesia until she gave birth.

Now, he's also wondering if this is true. If the woman's identity is that of an anti-Japanese activist, then he has nothing to say; at most, he'll make an errand.

If this is a trap, then if he goes there, he might have fallen into one.

This made him feel somewhat helpless; in fact, he didn't know what to say when he encountered this woman giving birth.

Knowing he was a doctor, why did this woman trust him so much?

He couldn't figure out the reason for a moment, but he also knew that the matter was not as simple as he had imagined.

He sat there, lost in thought. Just as he was taking out some food to eat, he saw another woman walk in through the door.

"Dr. Wang, hello! I didn't expect you to still be eating!"

"So it's Manager Li!"

"You still found out!"

"I didn't find out. You are the young master of Lishi Pharmacy. I overheard your conversation, so I didn't feel much guilt."

"Now that we've finally met, it seems a bit impolite to call you Xiaoli, don't you think?"

Zhang Tianhao also gestured for her to sit down, pointing directly to a chair on the side, and said with a smile, "Miss Li, I wonder if you came here for some reason?"

“This is a rare opportunity. Our journey together is short, at most a week, before we have to part ways. I think we should spend a little more time together.”

"Alright, this journey has been rather boring. It's a rare treat to enjoy the scenery with Miss Li."

He sat down and continued eating and chatting, clearly quite pleased with Miss Li's arrival.

"By the way, Miss Li, does your pharmacy have a wide selection of medicinal herbs? Do you carry Western medicine?"

"We really don't have any. Apart from traditional Chinese medicine, we don't have any other medicines. There's nothing we can do about it. As for Western medicine, it's prohibited from being sold, as you know."

That's true.

Zhang Tianhao thought for a moment, then stopped talking and picked up his bowl to continue eating, since he was really hungry.

"By the way, you went to rescue someone just now, how is the person?"

"If the C-section had been delayed by five minutes, the person might have died, or even both the person and the baby might have died. Now that the person has been saved, I can't handle the wound disinfection afterwards."

"Indeed, if it weren't for you, he might really be gone."

Upon hearing this, Miss Li sighed and sat down to watch Zhang Tianhao eat. She was clearly quite captivated by the way Zhang Tianhao ate.

"By the way, Miss Li, where did you go to get the medicinal herbs this time?"

"I've made contact with Dalian. They source their medicinal herbs from Northeast China, and I'll get them from them. This will save me a lot of trouble."

"Oh, I see."

"It might be cheaper to get the medicinal herbs from Northeast China."

"I may be alive to retrieve the medicinal herbs, but I might not be alive to use them. Safety over there is also a huge concern. I still want to live a few more days!"

"That's true. There are a lot of bandits in Northeast China. Even trains might not be safe."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao sighed. Most people really wouldn't dare to run around recklessly; it's too dangerous outside, and not something an ordinary person could handle.

"Dr. Wang, do you still have any doubts about my identity?"

"I've never doubted your identity, what's wrong?"

"That's good. What do you think of what we discussed last night?"

Why do you think I'm the best? Maybe I'm not that exceptionally talented?

"To be honest, I don't know you very well, but I had my fortune told and it said that you are the best match for me. That's why I made this trip to Dalian to buy medicinal herbs. It was a deliberately arranged opportunity, so please don't take offense."

Miss Li smiled somewhat embarrassedly, but still told the truth. (End of Chapter)
