âI should go.â Gu Yimo stood up. âAlthough I want to wait until Old Jiâs operation ends, itâs not appropriate for me to stay here. Grandpa might be worried... Give me a call after Old Jiâs operation.â
Ye Shengge nodded and forced a smile.
After Gu Yimo left, Sister Xiu walked out of the lounge and brought her a cup of hot water.
âPlease have some, Young Madam.â
Ye Shengge hesitated for a bit and took it. âThank you.â
She couldnât fall now. She had to wait until Ji Shiting woke up.
Ye Shengge took a deep breath and finished the water in the cup.
Feeling that she had regained some strength, she put the cup aside and stood up.
She swayed when she stood up. Sister Xiu wanted to help her, but she refused.
âI can manage,â she mumbled and walked to the door of the operating room.
The door of the operating room blocked all sound, so she couldnât hear anything. However, if she stood closer, she would feel closer to Ji Shiting.
He couldnât bear to leave her alone, could he?
Thus, he would definitely be fine.
Tears streamed down her face again.
...
After what seemed like a century, the indicator light of the operating theater finally went out.
Ye Shenggeâs heart pounded, and she couldnât help grabbing her collar as if she couldnât breathe.
Uncle Jin rushed out of the lounge with the old master, whose hands were trembling.
A doctor stepped out and took off his mask.
âMr. Ji is out of danger for the time being.â
Ye Shengge couldnât help feeling weak. If Sister Xiu hadnât been holding her, she mightâve fallen to the ground.
âOkay, okay. Thatâs good.â Grandpa Ji was tearing up. âThank you, thank you.â
âYou said heâs out of danger for the time being...â Ye Shengge took a deep breath.â What do you mean? â
âHis bleeding has stopped, and all his vital signs are recovering, but heâs still in a coma,â the doctor explained. âItâll be best if he can wake up in 24 hours. If he doesnât wake up soon, we might have other decisions to make... So, heâll need to be observed in the ICU for a few days. But donât worry. I think itâs very likely that Mr. Ji will wake up.â
âI understand.â Grandpa Ji nodded.
âPlease, doctors.â Ye Shengge choked.
âWeâll do our best.â The doctor nodded at her.
Ji Shiting was pushed out of the operating room and sent to the ICU, but the doctor didnât allow anyone to get close to him. Before his condition stabilized, they werenât allowed to enter the ICU.
However, Ye Shengge was lucky to see Ji Shiting when he was pushed out of the operating room, even though he was a distance away.
He seemed to have fallen asleep. Other than his pale face, he didnât look much different from usual. He was still so handsome that it mesmerized her.
Tears blurred her eyes, but in just a few seconds, the man was pushed into the ICU ward.
âYoung Madam, since Young Master is out of danger, you should rest too.â Sister Xiu was also full of reproach for Ye Shengge, but she couldnât bear to see her so dejected.
