The "Operation in Progress" sign was still lit up, and many people were sitting outside the emergency room.

Luo Yan stared intently at the operating room door, Luo Shi paced anxiously back and forth at the door, and Li Yuan sat to the side with his head down, excessively silent.

"Nan Nan?" Luo Shi was the first to spot Ji Zhi Nan and immediately ran over.

"Why aren't you lying quietly in your hospital room?"

Upon hearing his daughter's name, Li Yuan finally looked up.

His handsome face was numb, and his dark eyes had long lost their former light, leaving only emptiness and desolation.

The former high spirits were gone; the short thirty-odd hours felt like more than thirty years, leaving him battered and bruised.

More than 20 years ago, he learned in Europe that she had "met with an accident" and passed away. Fortunately, he was not present at the scene. He was completely immersed in the pain of losing his wife, like a lost soul. He forced himself to cheer up and protect the Warrens family for his father, and lived like a walking corpse all these years.

But this time, seeing Luo Ling collapse in front of him instantly transported him back to twenty years ago, to that excruciating pain of being uprooted...

"dad."

A glimmer of color returned to Li Yuan's empty eyes. He waved his hand, his voice becoming hoarse at some point.

"Come here, let Daddy give you a hug."

Ji Zhinan threw herself into his arms.

Holding the daughter Xiao Luo had given birth to for him, Li Yuan finally felt that he was still alive despite his icy body.

“Nan Nan…” he called to his daughter.

"..."

"Before your mother went to see Luo Yan, she told me that she wanted to get a marriage certificate with me and start a family with you after she brought you back. She's not a person who goes back on her word, right..."

Eddie, who had followed along, was startled by his uncle's words.

He was raised by his uncle from a young age. In his memory, his uncle was the object of his admiration. He was arrogant and invincible. Even if the sky fell, he would remain calm and rely on his extraordinary abilities to rebuild his life.

But now, he is holding his daughter, his body trembling.

Luo Ling was shot in the back of the head and her life was in danger. The surgery had been going on for more than 30 hours.

Those thirty-plus hours were agonizing for everyone.

The operating room door opened, and Qin Yu walked out. After more than thirty hours of working, his face was deathly pale.

The moment they saw him, everyone rushed over to ask what had happened.

"Don't worry, Aunt Luo has a strong will to live. With my parents here, the surgery will definitely be successful."

The surgery wasn't over yet; Qin Yu came out to discuss something with them.

Hearing the increasingly positive results, everyone finally felt a little relieved.

Given that it was a brain injury, not being declared dead immediately was already the best outcome.

Ji Zhinan had experienced a miscarriage and was still very weak, so she couldn't stay outside for long. Gu Yibei coaxed her gently, "I'll go with Dad to talk to Qin Yu about Mom. You be a good girl and eat while you get your IV drip, okay? I'll stay here with you after you finish your IV drip."

Ji Zhinan nodded.

"Let me stay with you?"

Ji Zhinan nodded.

Gu Yibei, Li Yuan, and Luo Yan left with Qin Yu, while Luo Shi and Eddie took care of Ji Zhinan.

To put his sister at ease, Eddie asked the doctor to open a ward closest to the emergency room.

Lying back down on the hospital bed, the nurse continued to hang up the IV drip that hadn't finished. Eddie opened the thermos, which contained porridge that Gu Yibei had personally cooked.

"Yi Bei was worried that the food at the hospital might not be clean, so he personally cooked some porridge for you. Nan Nan, give your brother some face and have a little?"

Eddie used all his patience to coax Ji Zhinan.
