When Nanny Zhang and her son Little Liu brought the food to the hospital, Wen Ran was the only one outside the operating room.
She took out the food from the container, gently saying, “Young Mistress, the Young Master asked me to bring these meals to you. You should eat something.”
Wen Ranqing looked surprised. When Mo Xiuchen said he needed to leave for a while earlier, had he been arranging for Nanny Zhang to bring food?
She wiped her eyes, shaking her head, “Nanny Zhang, thank you, but I have no appetite, you should give it to Mo Xiuchen to eat.”
He hadn’t had dinner when he brought her to the hospital.
“Young Mistress, the Young Master went for work, and he asked us to make sure you eat something. I’ve been working with the Young Master for many years and never seen him having such concern for any girl. You should eat something.”
Wen Ran genuinely had no appetite, but couldn’t resist Nanny Zhang’s nagging and reluctantly agreed. She mindlessly ate a small bowl of rice and also drank a bowl of soup.
***
As if he had timed his return, Mo Xiuchen came back before Wen Jin’s surgery was done.
When Wen Ran thanked him, he didn’t respond but just softly glanced at her stomach and slightly furrowed his brows.
Nanny Zhang had reported to him over the phone earlier that Wen Ran only ate a small bowl of rice. No wonder she was so thin, her eating habits were like a cat’s.
A moment later, the operating room’s door opened, and a tired Doctor Gu, dressed in his surgical gown, came out. Without waiting for Wen Ran to speak, he proactively informed her, “The operation was successful. There is currently no immediate danger to the patient’s life, but as before, we do not know when the patient will wake up.”
Wen Ran’s eyes flashed with excitement, with her heartstrings breaking from the tension and her heart slightly easing up.
The same words, a week ago, were unbearable, causing her to be heartbroken. But now, she could calmly accept it. If her brother had made it through the hardest part, she had faith that he would wake up.
She looked at Doctor Gu, gratefully saying, “Thank you, Doctor Gu!”
“The patient has been brought to the ICU through a sterile passage. You can go and visit.”
Doctor Gu nodded, and his eyebrows softened. For reasons he didn’t understand, he felt a strange emotion towards this girl he had known only for a few days. Perhaps because, she was about the same age as his little sister.”
“Alright!”
Wen Ran had not forgotten the man beside her. After saying ‘alright,’ she turned to Mo Xiuchen and said, “You should go home now. I’ll stay here with my brother tonight.”
Mo Xiuchen’s brows knitted slightly. He opened his thin lips, his deep voice carrying a potent assertiveness, “I will wait for you in Ah Kai’s office for half an hour at most.”
There are special nursing assistants here; there was no need for her to stay up all night here.
Wen Ran’s face shifted slightly. She wanted to say no, but thinking of something, she bit her lip tightly and swallowed her words. She turned and hurried toward the ICU.
Watching Wen Ran walk away, Doctor Gu narrowed his eyes curious, staring at Mo Xiuchen’s cold and handsome face. He smirked playfully, saying with hidden implications, “Mo Xiuchen, not letting her stay in the ward with her brother… do you have any other intentions? If I remember correctly, Mo Xiuchen is impotent, it’s a well-known fact in G city!”
Mo Xiuchen gave him a cold glance. He softly said, “Let’s go to your office.”
Doctor Gu raised his eyebrows, readily saying, “No problem, let’s go to my office. But you, have a lot to explain. What’s your game?”
