A young nurse handed Xia Qingyuan a small stack of paper, which was a pre-operative information sheet.
It lists many problems that will arise during and after the operation, and finally asks the family members to sign.
Xia Qingyuan looked at the items that might appear, and the hand holding the paper couldn't help but tremble.
She took the nurse's pen and signed her name on it with difficulty.
The force was so strong that it almost penetrated the paper.
The doctor and nurse worked together to move Shen Yizhou to the small bed in the operating room and changed into dark green sterile surgical clothes.
Xia Qingyuan and Lin Dongxiu stood aside, watching their operations, too nervous to take a breath.
When everything is ready, Dr. Shen will be pushed into the operating room.
Their speed was so fast that Xia Qingyuan didn't even have time to say cheering words to him.
She was holding regret in her heart, but she couldn't stop it.
The nurse stood at the door, preventing them from entering: "Family members, please stay."
After saying that, he closed the door of the operating room.
Xia Qingyuan stood at the door, staring at the closed door, her thoughts confused.
She was outside the door, and Shen Yizhou was inside. They were only a few meters apart, but they couldn't look at each other.
The worst result is loss.
Lin Dongxiu came to the window, clasped his hands, looked up to the sky, and kept praying.
At this moment, Xie Ziyi came unexpectedly.
With her, there were three unfamiliar men.
Chu Xingyu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
He introduced: "This is Secretary-General Yuan of the Provincial Department. These two are the Discipline Inspection Committee of the City Hall and the Secretary of Futian respectively."
Yuan Hongli said: "Secretary-General Shen, regardless of his own life safety, insists on fighting on the front line for the people. I am here to visit on behalf of the provincial department."
The Discipline Inspection Committee of the City Hall and Futian's secretary also greeted Xia Qingyuan and said words of thanks.
Xia Qingyuan's thoughts were all focused on Shen Yizhou. She said a few words of thanks and left Chu Xingyu to greet them.
Seeing her like this, Xie Zi swallowed back the words of comfort he had prepared and stood quietly aside.
The waiting process was too long. I watched the hour hand on the wall go round and round, and the ticking sound was like a curse that kept looping in my mind, lingering.
Every minute that passed, Xia Qingyuan's heart seemed to weigh an extra pound, making her breathless.
She was looking forward to the time passing quickly and the operating room door opening quickly, but she was also afraid that time would pass too quickly and when the door opened, the news she least wanted to hear would come.
This kind of suffering kept tormenting her.

It wasn't until almost one o'clock in the afternoon that the door to the operating room was opened.
Several people immediately gathered around him.
Dr. Min was the first to come out. The door behind him was closed again after he came out. Xia Qingyuan saw his slightly frowned eyebrows and immediately had a bad feeling.
She asked carefully: "Dr. Min, how is my husband?"
Dr. Min didn’t know what to say about this: “The operation was relatively successful.
only……"
He paused, and everyone looked at him involuntarily: "The patient's condition is not particularly good. We are not sure when he will wake up."
After the huge surprise, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in my mind.
What does "not sure when to wake up" mean?
The operation was successful, but the person can’t wake up?
Xia Qingyuan opened her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at Dr. Min.
Lin Dongxiu's eyes immediately went dark and she fainted.
Xiao Liu stood aside and quickly supported her.
Xia Qingyuan's face was as white as paper, and her throat was tight: "Doctor Min, is there anything else I can do?"
Dr. Min was also helpless: "Next, it depends on the patient's own perseverance."
One sentence seemed to give her hope, but also seemed to be thrown into hell again.
Xia Qingyuan never expected that this would be the result.
The doctor also said some precautions after the operation. She listened and nodded numbly.
Finally, I wanted to take a few steps forward, but my steps faltered and I knelt down directly on the ground.
Xia Qingyuan stood up with his strength: "Thank you."
The whole person was in a state of confusion, like a walking zombie.
Chu Xingyu also felt uncomfortable and shouted: "Mrs."
Xie Ziyi stood aside, looking at their bodies that were touching each other, and his eyes darkened.
She said: "I'll do it."
As he said, he squeezed Chu Xingyu away and supported Xia Qingyuan himself.
Xia Qingyuan had already stood firm and said "Thank you." Then she stood aside, waiting for Shen Yizhou to come out.
Xie Ziyi looked at his empty palms, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said nothing.

In the ward, Lin Dongxiu sat in front of the hospital bed, and Xia Qingyuan called Chu Xingyu aside.
She said: "Secretary Chu, you have worked hard these days.
Now that Yizhou's illness has stabilized, my mother-in-law and I can take care of him. Futian must still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't trouble you anymore."
Chu Xingyu understood that Xia Qingyuan's words meant for him to return to Dian City.
He wanted to say that it didn't matter, he could stay here.
However, if this is the case, it is indeed inappropriate.
It doesn't matter to him, but what about her?
At this juncture, he didn't want to cause any more trouble for her.
He nodded with some difficulty: "Okay, I will go back with Minister Guan and the others today."
Xia Qingyuan nodded to him, bending her body slightly: "Thank you."
She sincerely thanked him for everything he had done for them.
Chu Xingyu closed his eyelashes and opened his eyes again, looking like a bright moon again.
He smiled: "Madam, Secretary-General Shen is my leader, these are what I should do.
I will go back now to pack my things and say goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and strode away.
Xie Ziyi was waiting for him at the entrance of the stairs, with a slight smile on her lips.
When Chu Xingyu passed her, he didn't stop and walked straight over.
The smile on her face froze, her delicate hands clenched into fists, and she stopped following.
She cast her eyes on Xia Qingyuan's slender back and didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until Yuan Hongli called her that she smiled gently: "Uncle Yuan, are we leaving too?"

Xia Qingyuan stayed in front of Shen Yizhou's hospital bed all day and night.
She held his hand and talked as if he could hear her.
It was only later that my throat became hoarse and painful, and I stopped.
Her last words were: "Yizhou, I want to tell Buddha my wish. Do you think Buddha will hear it?"
Early the next morning, she suddenly stood up from her chair and said, "Mom, I want to go to Tibet."
