Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
For Youngest aunt, it was not easy for her to admit her mistake.
She paused for a little while and gulped before she continued.
Im responsible for all this. If I had not been bent on pairing up Wanwan and Little Cheng, this would not have happened.
Sis, when youre hospitalized for the past few days, I have actually been mulling over this issue. If you dont wake up soon, how will I get over this incident for the rest of my life?
You dont need to worry about money. Even if Xing Yuanhang had a change of heart, to be honest, hes not that type of ruthless man either. The amount of medical bill was too small for him to worry about.
Besides, your daughter is doing well as a novelist now. I heard from Yuanyuan she can get a sum of 10,000 yuan or more royalties per month. At her age, shes already considered very capable. Your future son-in-law is also a capable young man. He even found a medical team all the way from the Capital to come and treat you.
You dont know how envious the young ladies working in this hospital are. You havent seen how their gazes linger at the face of your future son-in-law, but he would send a glance their way. He only looks at your daughter. Dont you also think this young man is hard to come by?
Arent you glad to hear all these? Then you should cooperate with the treatments, alright?
There will be an operation later. Professor Li, the neurosurgeon, will be the one who will operate on you. This operation is to clean out all the blood clots and do the necessary precautions on your nerves and like so that this wont happen again in future You dont have to worry about this. During the operation, just have a good sleep. Once youre awake, everything will be good again.
I know you can withstand the pain. When were young and got into trouble, youll always shield me from the beatings. Our dads bamboo pole would always land on you
As Youngest aunt recalled their childhood memories, she started to lose control and cry.
Sis, I dont have parents anymore. When my children grew up, they will form their own families too. In this world, the ones closest to me are only you and eldest sister You must wake up Otherwise, if Xing Yuanhang bullies me, whos going to care for me
Xiang Wan was trying very hard to hold back from making those crying sounds, but she couldnt anymore.
She sobbed, wiped her tears and lifted her head to look at her mom and witnessed the miraculous moment that a tear flowed down from the corner of her moms eye
Youngest aunt, moms crying!
When a patient still maintained their own consciousness while in a coma, it was actually good news.
Professor Wei quickly called for a meeting with the medical team for another round of checks.
After the first operation was done on the day of admission, the patient had bled again on the fourth day. The blood clot was found to have consequently pressed onto a nerve in the brain. The final result showed that they could still go ahead with the original plan to perform the second operation as planned.
The operation was scheduled to be at ten oclock in the morning.
Xiang Wan sat beside Bai Muchuan as they waited. Sometimes, she felt tense, sometimes she felt relaxed, but most of the time, she clasped both hands in prayer.
He kept her company throughout. He was on the phone occasionally, talking about work.
When it was around three oclock in the afternoon, the operation ended.
It took five hours to complete.
When Professor Li and Professor Wei walked out of the operating theatre, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
The operation is successful! As long as the patients given proper postoperative care, she would come round very soon.
After a patient went through a major operation, the postoperative care was very important as this was considered to be a dangerous period for the patient.
As long as there were no complications and her conditions were stable, Xiang Wans mom would recover slowly.
After that, Bai Muchuan made a trip to the Criminal Investigation Unit.
Xiang Wan waited quietly at the hospital and could not control her urge to find out more from the doctors about her moms condition.
Every time she asked, the doctor would reply that her mom was in a stable condition.
Matters such as spontaneous breathing, physical stimulus-response, blood pressure, and the like were all normal
Apart from having a fever and that she had not come round, everything was going in the right direction.
Nevertheless, it was hard not to be worried!
Bai Muchuan didnt come back until the sun was setting.
When he appeared along the corridor, Xie Wanwan was also with him.
It surprised Xiang Wan to see both of them together.
Bai Muchuan squeezed his lips and said, I met her downstairs. She wants to see you.
See me?Xiang Wan was puzzled as she looked at the beautiful and enchanting woman before her.
Xie Wanwan, as usual, covered herself up except the eyes.
Unless it was someone familiar with her, nobody could tell she was Xie Wanwan, the famous celebrity.
Nevertheless, Xiang Wan still felt the way she dressed up would garner more attention instead.
Is anything the matter, Miss Xie?
Xie Wanwan shot an unhappy glance at Bai Muchuan. This person, who valued romance greater than friendship, refused to go out for dinner. Im here to see you so you could invite him for dinner.
You both can go on ahead. Xiang Wan was a little surprised by her words. My mom just had an operation, I would like to stay here.
Xie Wanwan raised an eyebrow. Hes leaving tomorrow and youre not willing to have dinner with him?
As a matter of fact, even if Xiang Wan stayed at the hospital, she wouldnt be of help.
Still, she would feel more at ease if she stayed and wrote her story in the hospital.
If she were to go eat and drink somewhere, she would actually feel guilty.
Hence, it was true she did not want to go.
However, if Bai Muchuan was really leaving Jin City tomorrow, she couldnt bear to let him stay at the hospital with her the entire night, either
Filial piety was what she should do for her mom, but it was not Bai Muchuans responsibility for now.
With regards to this point, Xiang Wan was very clear about it.
She knew he would leave Jin City soon, but she was puzzled why Xie Wanwan knew it before her.
After a brief moment of silence, Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan. Youre leaving tomorrow?
Yeah. There was some helplessness in Bai Muchuans tone. I just received the call when I was downstairs.
Xiang Wan showed an understanding smile.
He had mentioned when I was downstairsit was his explanation for telling her how Xie Wanwan had come to know about that information.
This man understands her so well just like how she understands herself.
What else could she say?
Xiang Wan asked, So do you want to go out for dinner or do you have any other plans in mind?
The ball was in his court, she would simply cooperate.
Bai Muchuan had both hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders casually. Anything is fine. The food will taste good as long as youre with me.
The corners of Xiang Wans mouth turned upwards uncontrollably.
On the other hand, Xie Wanwan made a vomiting gesture.
Hey, dont show off your love! Bullying a single dog huh?
When Bai Muchuan turned to Xie Wanwan, he was pulling a long face.
Were giving you a favor here for accompanying you to dinner. You should be thankful and not get disgusted. Lets go for dinner.
Hmph! Xie Wanwan rolled her eyes at him but smiled at Xiang Wan. Lets go, Little Xiang Wan.
This form of address!
Xiang Wans cheeks started to turn pink.
Alright, you guys wait for me. Ill go get my stuff.
The hospital was a place where people come and go. Hence, Xiang Wan left her laptop for safekeeping at the nurse station.
While Xiang Wan went to keep her belongings, Xie Wanwan turned to Bai Muchuan.
So, youve made up your mind?
Bai Muchuan returned a leisure smile.
Yeah. Im certain, so I made my move.
These words felt like a hammer when they landed on Xie Wanwans heart.
She felt hurt but was unable to cry out in pain.
Youre right. The moment we set our sights on something, we should strike while the iron is hot.
Next, she turned without any hesitation and walked away elegantly, swinging her little handbag.
Ill wait for you two downstairs.
Xie Wanwan had driven her own car here, but Bai Muchuan didnt.
She was waiting for Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan, but she never thought a dinner gathering for the three of them would end up a double date?!!
When they arrived at the carpark at the basement, theres an extra person thereTang Yuanchu.
Xie Wanwans face turned as dark as charcoal. Little Bai, whats happening?
Bai Muchuans face was calm and unperturbed. Youll most probably drink later. Are you sure you want to call for a designated driver?
Her celebrity status had determined it was too dangerous and inappropriate to get a designated driver to send her back.
Nevertheless, when Xie Wanwan saw how unbothered he was, she couldnt help feeling a little upset. Havent you been saying you wont drink for the time being?
Bai Muchuan put his arm around Xiang Wans shoulder. My apologies, Im not a part-time designated driver.
Rage pulsed through the veins to Xie Wanwans head. What about him? She pointed at Tang Yuanchu angrily. Hes a part-time designated driver?
There was a moment of silence.
Youre right, I am! Popular internet celebrity Tang Yuanchu responded in a not-so-confident manner. I-I am! I serve the people!
