There were several older doctors who came with him.
After confirming with Xia Qingyuan, several doctors entered the office again and consulted together for more than an hour before coming out.
Dr. Min said: "We will perform surgery at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
From now until he goes to the operating table, he will be given nutritional fluid injections and cannot eat any liquid food.
If the lips are dry, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water on the patient's lips.
In addition, I can give the patient a little scrub tonight."
Xia Qingyuan listened carefully: "I understand, thank you Dr. Min."
Dr. Min saw Xia Qingyuan lowering her eyebrows and looking very calm.
I sighed at her strength in my heart and left again with the team.
Xia Qingyuan turned to Chu Xingyu and said, "I really want to thank you for this.
You must be exhausted these days, so you should go to rest early."
Chu Xingyu's eyes were bloodshot.
He said: "It doesn't matter, these are what I should do.
How about Xiao Liu and I stay here, and you and Auntie go to rest first?"
Xia Qingyuan and Lin Dongxiu were like this, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
Xiao Liu also said: "Madam, are we still here?"
Xia Qingyuan smiled and shook her head: "We can do it.
Otherwise, you guys go to rest tonight and come back to change your shift tomorrow morning?"
Tomorrow morning is when Shen Yizhou is undergoing surgery, how could Xia Qingyuan walk away?
He knew that this was just a reason she was looking for.
Chu Xingyu didn't insist anymore and went to stay in a nearby hotel with Xiao Liu.
Watching Chu Xingyu and Xiao Liu leave, Xia Qingyuan did not force Lin Dongxiu to rest.
As a mother, her son will be on the operating table tomorrow, so naturally he can take one more look.
She glanced at Lin Dongxiu, who was guarding Shen Yizhou's hospital bed, and said, "Mom, I'm going to get some water."
Lin Dongxiu responded and returned his gaze to Shen Yizhou's face.
There was still some black ash left on his face and body from fighting the fire.
Lin Dongxiu stretched out his hand, not daring to touch it.
His breathing was so weak that she was afraid that if she touched him, he would be gone.
Lin Dongxiu retracted her hand again, turned her head to the side, and cried silently.
Ever since he was little, Shen Yizhou had hated to see her cry the most.
Every time she cried when being bullied by Shen Xing's family, Shen Yizhou would wipe her tears with his little hands and say: "Mom, don't cry.
I want to get ahead in the future, and no one will dare to bully you again."
Now, he did it, but he was lying on the hospital bed and could not call her "Mom".

The hospital's washroom and water fetching area are connected together.
While she was fetching water, two old women happened to be talking together.
Everyone in the family was sick, and their faces looked sad.
The older woman among them said: "I heard that if you have any wish, you can go on a pilgrimage to Tibet.
There is the place closest to the Buddha. If you make a wish sincerely, the Buddha will hear it."
Another person was in disbelief: "Really?"
The old woman said: "Anyway, someone did this, and after coming back, the disease was indeed cured.
I don't know whether it's true or not.
After all, not everyone can endure the journey of pilgrimage."
The two of them talked and slowly walked away. Xia Qingyuan listened with rapt attention.
One of them didn't pay attention, and her hand was splashed by the overflowing boiling water. The pain made her almost throw away the kettle in her hand.
Tibet, the place where she died in her previous life.
She goes to Tibet with her master every year, stays there for two or three months, and then leaves.
She had also seen many devout pilgrims who traveled thousands of miles, taking three steps and one kowtow to measure the distance between themselves and the Buddha.
Such a long pilgrimage and such perseverance are all supported by faith.
She remembered that she once asked her master: "Master, do you think the Buddha can really hear their wishes?"
It was already the late 1980s, and the country no longer had the same attitude toward religious belief as it did in the 1960s and 1970s.
The master drank his wine and did not answer directly: "With such faith in my heart, what can't be realized?"
He laughed and said: "Anyway, a bad old man like me can't do this."
At this moment, Xia Qingyuan hesitated.
If there really were gods and she could make them hear in this way, she would do it without hesitation.

Xia Qingyuan returned to the ward with deep thoughts and saw Lin Dongxiu sitting in front of the hospital bed wiping tears silently.
She walked in and called: "Mom."
When Lin Dongxiu saw Xia Qingyuan come in, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Are you going to clean Yi Zhou's body?"
Xia Qingyuan nodded: "Yes."
Lin Dongxiu said: "Okay, I'll go out first.
If you need my help, just call me."
She stood up and walked to the duffel bag she brought: "I brought all the clothes."
Thinking of Fang Yue asking her to try to put some loose clothes on Shen Yizhou, she felt uncomfortable again.
Seeing this, Xia Qingyuan stepped forward and held her shoulders.
In just one day, Lin Dongxiu's body that had finally put on weight in Diancheng lost weight again.
Xia Qingyuan suppressed the sadness in her heart and comforted her: "Mom, Yi Zhou will be fine."
Lin Dongxiu patted her hand, nodded, bit her lip and said no more.
After Lin Dongxiu also went to wash up, Xia Qingyuan closed the door, poured hot water, and wiped Shen Yizhou's body.
The nurse has explained where to move and where to pay attention.
She wrung out the water on the towel and gently wiped his face.
Her eyes followed the movement of the towel and landed on his still handsome features.
His eyes were greedy and fixed, as if this was the last time he would see her.
Xia Qingyuan said: "You said never abandon me again.
Now that you are lying like this and not talking to me, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Her fingers unbuttoned his hospital gown, and the ribs could be vaguely seen on his usually strong chest, and the tip of her nose felt sore again.
"Look at you, you're so busy that you even forgot to eat, right?
It’s only taken a few days to lose weight like this?”
The towel wiped his abdomen with her hand: "When you wake up, I will punish you for how dare you disobey me."
As she talked, Xia Qingyuan could no longer hold back her tears.
She held his cold hand and said, "I don't like anyone except you.
Don't think about leaving me alone and just push me to others."
She put his hand on her cheek: "You are so kind, who else can I like besides you?
Besides you, who would tolerate and love me like this?
In the past, I often thought that if one of us wanted to leave first, then that person would have to be me.
Because I can't live a day without you, and I can't bear the pain of losing you."
She lay beside his bed, tears streaming down her face: "Shen Yizhou, I beg you, don't abandon me, okay?"
