Everyone waited patiently.
The nanny finished tending to Huo Changqiu, removing the tubes and letting him sleep naturally. Although Huo Changqiu's face was still pale and haggard, it was a marked improvement from its previous ashen color.
Ten minutes later, a soft "hmm" broke the silence.
"Dad, are you awake?" Huo Da exclaimed with delight, seeing Huo Changqiu open his eyes.
"Xiaoda, where am I?" Huo Changqiu asked weakly.
Hearing his father actually speak, Huo Da was overcome with excitement and said loudly, "We're at the hospital. You were poisoned, but this old gentleman cured you."
Huo Changqiu strained to look at Tan Qingnian and said weakly, "Thank you, miracle doctor."
The term "miracle doctor" made Tan Qingnian feel somewhat wistful. In his early years, all he wanted was for people to call him "doctor" or "physician," yet everyone treated him like a demon. Now that he no longer harbored such expectations, he was instead honored with this title.
