Chapter 53: Do Your Best and Leave the Rest to Fate

"A Zheng, what are you doing?"

It was already dark, and the old lady said, "There's no point in you waiting here. Aliang still has a head injury, so why don't you go back with Aliang? Wait until your grandfather comes out of the operating room, and then let Fu Yue call you."

"No." Wen Liang immediately refused and took the old lady's arm. "Grandma, I'm not going back. I want to wait here with you."

No matter whether grandpa is in trouble or not, she wants to be the first to see him.

"Grandma, we will wait here with you." Fu Zheng also said.

Seeing that they insisted, the old lady didn't say anything.

Two hours later, the red light at the operating room door finally turned green.

Wen Liang, Fu Zheng, Fu Yue and the old lady stood up at the same time and gathered at the door of the operating room waiting for the doctor to come out.

The door of the operating room was opened.

"Dean Lin, how is grandpa?" Fu Zheng asked immediately.

At this moment, his voice was hoarse and trembled slightly.

Wen Liang's eyes were red as he stared at Dean Lin, his hands clasped together in front of his heart.

Director Li took off his mask and said, "The operation was successful. You will be observed in the critical care ward for two days. If you are fine, you can be transferred to the general ward."

A smile finally appeared on Wen Liang's face, but in the blink of an eye, tears fell and his heart was relieved.

"Okay, thank you, Dean Lin."

Then the old man was pushed to the intensive care unit while lying on the hospital bed.

Wen Liang felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the old man with his eyes closed and lifeless.

Just a few days ago, grandpa was playing chess with her with a bright smile, but in just a few days he became like this.

Wen Liang and others went to the intensive care unit together.

The doctor reminded, "The patient needs to rest now. Please be patient and don't make loud noises."

"Oh, thank you, doctor," said the old lady.

"You're welcome. If you need anything, just tell us. I won't bother you any more."

After the doctor left, the old lady said, "Your grandfather is fine now. You can rest assured. You have waited here for so long. Go back and have some food."

"Grandma, you've waited for so long, you must make sure to rest. Don't let grandpa be fine while grandma falls ill."

"Aliang is right, grandma. How about I take you back to rest? I'm afraid grandpa won't wake up for a while. You have to stay alert and wait to see grandpa when he wakes up." Fu Zheng said.

"Yes, grandma, grandpa hasn't woken up yet. Let's stay with him first. When he wakes up, we will come to pick you up. How about that?" Fu Yue said.

"Okay."

"Then grandma, I'll take you back. A Zheng, you and your sister-in-law stay here to look after grandpa. I'll be back after I take grandma back." Fu Yue stepped forward and helped the old lady up.

"Don't worry, big brother."

Only Wen Liang and Fu Zheng were left in the ward, and everything became quiet.

"We've been waiting for so long, but you haven't had dinner yet. I'll have someone bring some food over so you can have some first," said Fu Zheng.

"Um."

Fu Zheng strode out of the ward.

He first went to Dean Lin's office.

Director Lin is not young anymore. He had been performing surgery for several hours in a row and was exhausted. He was resting in his office when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Dean Li rubbed his brows. "A Zheng, it's you. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Dean Lin, I want to ask about my grandfather's condition. Don't worry, I'm the only one here. You don't have to hide anything from me. Just tell me directly."

Dean Lin sat up straight, his face solemn, and he sighed, "To be honest, the old man's health was greatly damaged when he was young. Now that he's old, no matter how hard he tries to take care of it, it's still not satisfactory. Not to mention the constant use of rejection drugs, his body can no longer bear it. Although this operation was successful, the situation is not optimistic."

"How long can it last?"

Dean Lin raised his eyelids and looked at Fu Zheng, holding up three fingers. "I can only do my best to protect him for three months. Any longer than that and I'll just do my best and leave it to fate."

Fu Zheng's whole body shook, and his chest felt as if it had been hit by a hammer, causing a dull pain in his internal organs.

Three months.

Grandpa only has three months left.

Fu Zheng just hoped this was a joke, but he knew it wasn't.

But Dean Lin is a top expert in this field, and even he is helpless...

"A Zheng, I know you can't accept it. In fact, your grandfather is well aware of your physical condition and has already made preparations. It's just that he is most worried about you. I've also been watching the news recently. Are you and your wife getting a divorce?"

Dean Lin stepped forward and patted Fu Zheng on the shoulder. "After all, you're going to spend your whole life with him. If you really can't live together anymore, Uncle Lin can't persuade you not to leave. But, your grandfather only has so much time left. Wouldn't it be nice to let him leave happily?"

Fu Zheng's eyes reddened slightly, and he swallowed his saliva, "I understand, Uncle Lin. Thank you."

Fu Zheng turned and left dejectedly.

He found a deserted place and sat down dejectedly, motionless like a stone sculpture.

"Madam, my husband asked me to bring you food."

The driver came in with a lunch box and helped Wen Liang unpack it.

Wen Liang asked, "Where are the others, A Zheng?"

"I don't know about that. But the gentleman didn't use the car, so he must still be in the hospital." Wen Liang nodded.

She believed that her grandfather's condition had worsened, and Fu Zheng was no less sad than she was. Now he was probably just staying alone to calm down.

Wen Liang didn't have much of an appetite, but thinking of the baby in her belly, she ate a few more mouthfuls of rice.

Fu Zheng came back from outside, his face looked normal, but his eyes were dark and no emotion could be seen in them.

"A Zheng, you haven't eaten yet, eat something."

"Yeah." Fu Zheng sat down, picked up his chopsticks and ate a little, then cleaned up the garbage and threw it into the trash can.

"You haven't fully recovered yet. You've been here for so long, I'm afraid you can't handle it. Go back to the ward and rest. I'll stay here tonight. If Grandpa wakes up, I'll come and call you."

Wen Liang nodded and said, "Don't stay up too long. Ask Big Brother to come and take your place in the middle of the night."

"I know."

Fu Zheng walked Wen Liang to the door of her ward, then returned to the old man's ward to keep watch.

After returning to the ward, a nurse came to check on Wen Liang and understand his physical condition. After the rounds, Wen Liang simply washed up and went to bed to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Liang was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

She opened her eyes and rubbed them subconsciously, but her vision was still blurry.

It was vaguely visible, but it was still pitch black outside the window.

"Who?" Wen Liang turned on the bedside lamp and got out of bed to get dressed.

Fu Zheng's voice came from outside, "Aliang, grandpa is awake and wants to see you."

"I understand. I'll be right there." Wen Liang quickly put on his clothes and opened the door to the ward. "Let's go."

"etc."

"What's wrong?" Wen Liang stopped.

Fu Zheng walked up to her and, under her gaze, unbuttoned and buttoned her clothes one by one, "You were so anxious that you buttoned them the wrong way."

If you make a mistake in one deduction, all the following ones will be wrong.

"Oh, I hadn't noticed. What time is it?"

"Two ten in the morning."

The two of them walked side by side to the old man's ward.

The old man sat on the hospital bed, his face pale and his complexion depressed.

Wen Liang walked up quickly, took his hand, and sniffed, "Grandpa, you finally woke up. You scared Aliang to death."
