When Tianye Mu saw the baby’s unique eyes, he asked Kerry in a low voice, "Is the baby also able to
move instantly or fly around? Why else would he have one purple eye?"
Kerry rubbed his aching brow, "You've guessed it. He's already shown signs of such powers."
"What?" Tianye Mu was shocked.
"It's true. Don't you think he's growing up faster than other kids his age? Last night, he suddenly walked
through the door, and his eyes didn't change. And he himself didn't seem to realize that there was
anything wrong with it."
Tianye Mu's mouth grew even wider, "Oh my God! If he suddenly disappears and reappears when he
goes to kindergarten, it will scare the teachers and children to death."
Kerry brows were furrowed, "I'm worried about that too. I want to talk to him, but he's too young to
speak on his own, how can he understand what I say?"
"Then we'll wait until he's older. Anyway he doesn't go out much now." Tianye Mu paused, "It's just that
he should have kids his own age to play with. He will lose much fun hanging out with us adults."
"Then you hurry up and have a child to play with him."
Tianye Mu grabbed the pillow next to him and threw it at Kerry, "Damn it, do I give birth to a child just to
play with your son? Besides, even if I started preparing now, it would take almost a year to have a kid
at the earliest, and by then your little son might grow unexpectedly powerful."
Kerry was silent for a long time, and then said in a slow and deep voice, "Actually, I would prefer him to
be an ordinary child, to grow up simply and live out his life peacefully and smoothly."
When Tianye Mu heard this, he was also silent.
When parents do not have a child, they always hope that their child can grow up to be an all-around
talent. However, when they do have one, they value his health and happiness more than anything else.
"Then give him a nickname of Pingan," suggested Tianye Mu. After looking at Kerry with some
contempt, he added, "It's better than ‘baby’."
Kerry expressed no objection.
Tianye Mu reached out his hand to greet the little fella, "Baby, come here."
The little fella wiggled his chubby buttocks and wobbled over to his uncle, smiling innocently and
looking up to Tianye Mu.
"I'll call you Pingan from now on, okay? Repeat after uncle, Ping-An..."
The little fella stared at his mouth and repeated childishly, "Pingan."
"Gosh, awesome! From now on, remember, when uncle calls for Pingan, I'm calling for you, okay?"
The little fella nodded his head in confusion.
Kerry, who was sitting on the other side of the room, was extremely frustrated, wondering why his son
had learned everything so fast except "daddy".
"Pingan, come over here to daddy."
The little fella didn't respond and was still in front of Tianye Mu.
"Pingan." Kerry called out again.
Tianye Mu poked Pingan's little belly and said, "Your dad called for Pingan, did you hear it?"
The little fella turned around slowly and looked nonchalantly at Kerry.
"Come here, Pingan."
He came to Kerry with a disgusted face and looked up at him, as if to say, "Why are you calling me?"
Kerry said very lovingly, "Call daddy."
The little fella behaved exactly the same as before. He cast a bored look to Kerry, wiggled his butt and
walked away.
"Hahahaha..." Tianye Mu burst out laughing.
Kerry's face turned black. He should not have humiliated himself at this time, especially in front of
Tianye Mu.
......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kerry and Venus appeared at the hospital on time. This was one of
the best private hospitals in Sky City, both in terms of medical staff and equipment.
The American doctor, David, was unusually young and handsome. If Tianye Mu hadn't introduced him,
Kerry would have thought he was a student fresh from college.
Like most Chinese people, Kerry asked Tianye Mu in Chinese, "How come he is so young? Can we
trust him?"
The American doctor laughed and replied in fluent Chinese, "Mr. Kerry, please don't question my skills
based on my young look."
Kerry was embarrassed. He didn’t expect David's Chinese to be this good.
"Uh, well, sorry, when should we start?"
"Now. I have an important meeting tomorrow, so I have to leave tonight."
After exchanging the usual pleasantries, David gave a detailed examination to Venus. Tianye Mu had
already told him how Venus was injured before, so he didn't ask again.
After the examination, David said seriously, "I suggest surgery. This the fastest way to recover."
"Is it risky?" Kerry was a little hesitant. Last time when they were in the hospital, the doctor also said
Venus needed surgery, but it was very risky, so Kerry didn't agree.
David looked at the various films of Venus's under the light and explained every operation had risks
and even the best doctor can't be 100% sure of the success of every operation. When saying these
words, David used a Chinese word to describe the best doctor. Kerry was a little surprised that this
foreigner could say such a native word.
"Then how sure are you?"
"90%, and the remaining 10% depends on this beautiful lady."
Kerry became more surprised, "90%? Are you sure?"
David was a little unhappy about Kerry's skeptical attitude. He looked at Kerry indifferently with his
hands clasped in front of his chest, "Mr. Kerry, you can question my character, but you can't question
my skills."
Kerry had never seen such a confident person, but it was Venus's life at stake, so he could not be
careless.
"I'll think about it."
"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. My time is precious."
Kerry and Tianye Mu stood in the smoking section smoking. Neither of them spoke, and when they
finished a cigarette, they said in unison, "Do it."
After a brief exchange of glances, they both saw the determination and worry in each other's eyes.
As David said, every surgery had risks, but they couldn't let Venus suffer from dementia for the rest of
her life. This kind of life was unfair to her. She was only 25 and she got many dreams that were waiting
for her to realize.
They had to trust David and Venus.
David seemed to had predicted their decision. He had already booked the operating room while they
were discussing.
Venus was sitting quietly beside the bed like an innocent kitten. Kerry squatted down to hold her hands
and said, "Let's do the surgery right away. Don't be afraid. I will always be here by your side."
When Venus heard his voice, she gave a silent smirk. Kerry was saddened. He knew she didn't
understand what he meant.
Before the surgery, two nurses came to shave Venus's hair.
"Does she have to be shaved?" Kerry asked.
One nurse smiled and said, "Of course, the surgery involves cutting open her head and shaving her
hair will help her recover after the surgery, making it less likely to get infected.
