Chapter 277: Get Married Then (7)

It took an entire night before the red light above the emergency room finally went off. The doctor strode out, his forehead glistening with so much sweat it was as though he had just gone through a war, looking extremely fatigued and burnt out.

“Doctor, how is my mother?” Mo Ziying rushed up and asked, her voice quivering.

Yet, Shi Guang, who had been flustered the entire time, did not dare to head up at all. She was afraid, so afraid that things would end up the same as they did back then; that she’d receive the same answer of losing someone dear to her once more.

Her hands were clamped together, praying to all the gods and deities up in the Heavens for her grandma to tide through this tribulation.

The tightly knitted brows of the doctor started relaxing when he looked at Mo Ziying.

“The surgery was quite successful, and the patient managed to hang on resiliently. Now that she’s awake, there shouldn’t be any major issues left. However, she IS getting on with the age, and with such a major surgery done at this point, coupled with the fact that her heart isn’t too well to begin with, it’s imperative that she rests well and does not receive any more blows.”

There was both relief and warning in that sentence as Shi Guang’s heart felt as though it was on a rollercoaster ride, thumping up and down so hard to the point where it was almost bursting out.

For grandma to be able to tide through this tribulation was really a great fortune from the heavens.

Shi Guang felt as though she had been given a new lease of life despite the ordeal. However, she knew she couldn’t relax just yet—she had to wait for grandma to wake up.

And of course, even after grandma woke up, she must be even more careful in the future.

After spending the entire night worrying, Shi Guang knew that it must have definitely been a toll on her aunt’s body. Hence, she had her aunt go rest first, and said that she’d inform her the moment grandma woke up.

Shi Guang waited outside the ICU 1 the entire time.

Her aunt asked her to go rest in the ward first, but Shi Guang refused to, choosing to just look at her unconscious grandma with a hazy state of mind.

Lu Yanchen sent Mo Ziying back home before returning to find Shi Guang fast asleep on a chair outside the ICU. He walked over, thinking of carrying her into a ward to rest.

However, he knew that Shi Guang wasn’t deep asleep—she was going to wake up at the slightest commotion. Thinking that, he sat beside her and supported her with his body.

Feeling a pillar of support in her semi-conscious state of mind, Shi Guang’s slanted head leaned in and slumped lower and lower, until finally… she slept on his shoulders.

Nudging a little, she found a comfortable position and continued sleeping.

The stern, cold face of Lu Yanchen started to turn tender and warm…

…

When Shi Guang woke up once more, grandma had already been moved from the ICU to a normal ward. Even though she was not conscious yet, her condition seemed a lot more optimistic.

The doctor asked her to chat with her grandma more. Talking to her about things she was concerned about might help her in waking up faster.

Shi Guang sprawled down beside her grandma’s beside, her eyes filled with worry.

Even though it was only two days, grandma’s face seemed older than ever, as the age spots on her face looked more obvious than ever. Her wrinkly skin, her fragile body, her white hair… The moment Shi Guang held onto grandma’s shriveled hand, her firm heart found itself crumbling once more.

“Grandma, would you hurry up and wake up? Don’t leave me alone. I’m really afraid…”

The level of her fear wasn’t like that of any other normal fears.

Before, she was worried that grandma would leave her forever just like her parents did. And now, she was worried that grandma would just sleep on forever, just like her… sister.

She leaned her head onto the bedside and prayed for her grandma’s swift recovery in her heart… for her to live a healthy life with no worries to an old, ripe age.

Suddenly, she felt something scratching at her palm. Without blinking, she found herself staring at her palm fixatedly.

Eh… Grandma’s hand was really twitching!

She then looked over at grandma’s face. Her lips seemed to be moving as well! It was as though she wanted to say something!

Shi Guang leaned in immediately. Grandma seemed to be calling out, “Littly…”

Shi Guang was so emotional that tears brimmed her eyes as she jumped up and pressed for the nurse call button before leaning over the bed and calling out, “Grandma, grandma! I’m here… grandma! Hurry and wake up…!”
