Lin Zehan was relieved to hear her say that, "No matter what happens, you can come to me!"
"Brother, thank you." With him here, Ye Wan felt truly at ease.
"Silly girl, don't be polite with me. Don't worry, everything will be fine," Lin Zehan reassured her, gently stroking her head.
The operating room door was pushed open, and Lin Zehan immediately walked over, asking the nurse, "Excuse me, how is the person inside?"
"They are in surgery. The burns on their back and arm are quite extensive. The surgery is expected to take several more hours. Please wait patiently, family members," the nurse said before hurrying away.
Lin Zehan walked back to comfort her, "Don't worry, I believe he'll be alright."
Ye Wan nodded, her hands unconsciously clasped together. Perhaps it was because she was still on her period, and after such a great scare, her emotions had been fluctuating too much for the past two days. She felt extremely unwell, her head was swimming, and her chest felt heavy.
Lin Zehan went to get her some warm water. After Ye Wan drank it, she felt a little better. What followed was an agonizing wait. Seeing her pale face, Lin Zehan said, "Are you not feeling well either? Why don't you find a place to rest?"
"No, I'm fine. I want to wait for him to come out. Otherwise, I won't be at ease," Ye Wan waved her hand.
However, as her complexion worsened, Lin Zehan became anxious and pulled her, wanting to take her to rest. Ye Wan still refused to leave.
Fu Huai Shen had been burned by sulfuric acid for her. How could she leave before she knew he was safe?
Lin Zehan was at a loss and could only keep a close eye on her.
Another three hours passed. Just as Ye Wan was about to collapse, the operating room door finally opened. As Ye Wan stood up, her vision blacked out, and she almost fell. Lin Zehan quickly supported her, "Ye Wan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. How is Fu Huai Shen?" Ye Wan's vision cleared again. The siblings walked towards the doctor together.
"The surgery was a success. Fortunately, the burn area is not life-threatening. He will be sent to a sterile ward to prevent infection," the doctor explained.
Ye Wan and Lin Zehan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Wan's gaze fell on the man lying on the hospital bed. He was bare-chested, with burns on his right arm and right shoulder. He was still unconscious. Thinking of his usual carefree and roguish demeanor, and then seeing him lying there silently, Ye Wan felt heartbroken.
Lin Zehan supported Ye Wan, and the two accompanied Fu Huai Shen into the sterile ward. For Ye Wan's convenience in caring for him, the doctor arranged his room next to Ye Cheng's.
"I'll have the driver take you back to rest later. I'll stay and watch tonight. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Ye Wan looked exhausted, and Lin Zehan was worried she would fall ill if she continued to stay up.
"Brother, I really want to stay," Ye Wan said, her lips trembling. But she knew it was unlikely she could stay, as Gu Yun Ting would not allow it.
As if to confirm her guess, Gu Yun Ting appeared in the hospital corridor. A hint of displeasure flashed in Lin Zehan's eyes when he saw the man.
In his opinion, neither Fu Huai Shen nor Gu Yun Ting was the most suitable candidate to be Ye Wan's boyfriend.
Gu Yun Ting saw Ye Wan's pale face and walked over, pulling her to him. He reached out and touched her forehead, "What happened?"
"It's nothing. Fu Huai Shen was injured saving me. He's not awake yet. I want to stay tonight and wait for him to wake up, is that okay?" Ye Wan looked at him with a pleading gaze.
