Noticing that Lin Sinan had regained consciousness, Doctor Zhang awkwardly withdrew his hand, completely unaware that he had just exposed himself. Lin Sinan was even less able to remind Doctor Zhang, so he decided to just keep silent.
Lin Sinan wanted to know how long he had been in the operating room, so he opened his mouth, but found that he could not speak.
Lin Sinan was shocked. What happened? He blinked his eyes continuously and signaled to Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang saw Lin Sinan's expression and guessed he wanted to speak. Seeing Lin Sinan's funny face and the faint handprint on his cheek, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back, he said, "You can't speak yet. The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. In about three or four hours, you'll gradually return to normal. You'll be fine in due time."
Lin Sinan blinked his eyes to indicate that he understood. "Okay, notify the family to pick up the patient and push him back to the ward," Doctor Zhang instructed the nurse next to him. "Okay, Doctor Zhang," the nurse came to her senses and quickly agreed.
When Lin Sinan was wheeled out of the operating room, he noticed the wall clock had already read three in the afternoon. A full seven hours had already passed. It seemed this operation wasn't as simple as he'd imagined.
Lin Sinan's father-in-law and mother-in-law helped the nurse push Lin Sinan back to Ward 5018. With the help of the patients in the same room, well, it should be with the help of the patients' companions, they lifted Lin Sinan onto his own bed.
Lin Sinan's father-in-law said to Lin Sinan's mother-in-law, "It's okay. I'll take care of it here. You can go back." Lin Sinan's mother-in-law glanced at Lin Sinan's father-in-law and said, "Can you do it yourself?" There shouldn't be anything to do tonight, and there are so many doctors and nurses, Lin Sinan's father-in-law replied.
That's right, Lin Sinan's mother-in-law thought. It's true, her daughter will have to pick up the kids soon, and she can't take care of two kids by herself. She told Lin Sinan's father-in-law, "Call if you need anything." "No problem, go home," Lin Sinan's father-in-law replied. Then Lin Sinan's mother-in-law hurried downstairs and went home.
Lin Sinan's father-in-law sat in a chair beside the bed and looked down at him for a moment. Lin Sinan's eyes were tightly closed, the anesthetic still not fully wearing off. He was conscious, but not fully awake. After a while, Lin Sinan's father-in-law started chatting with the older brother in the next bed, and the older brother in the next bed next to him. The three of them, plus the two caregivers, chatted animatedly. Lin Sinan could hear their voices, but he couldn't make out their specific words. There was only a buzzing, empty sound in his head.
Lin Sinan squeezed his eyes shut, trying to recall the eye he'd seen. But his mind was empty, unable to recall anything, as if everything had been erased. Well, not entirely. Still in his memory were two jade-white peaks and a touch of pink that stirred his imagination.
Lin Sinan quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of these thoughts, but he still couldn't move. His whole body was stiff, and even breathing took all his strength.
Lin Sinan sighed resignedly, waiting for his recovery. Luckily, he'd been prepared, so he didn't panic. He closed his eyes, pondering how life would continue after he was discharged. How would he handle everything? What if his vision recovered well enough? What would he do if it didn't, or if it didn't recover well enough? What would he do next? Bit by bit, little by little, the thoughts filled Lin Sinan's mind.
Time passed by bit by bit, and Lin Sinan felt his throat was dry. It felt like there was a ball of fire burning in his throat, and it felt like countless small thorns were prickling his throat. Lin Sinan tried to shout, "Water", but he didn't expect that he really made a sound, and the chatting sounds in the room stopped instantly.
Lin Sinan's father-in-law turned his head and looked at Lin Sinan. "You wake up, I will go find a doctor immediately." After that, Lin Sinan's father-in-law got up and walked to the door. "Oh, you are my dear father. Please give me a sip of water first," Lin Sinan thought. There is no other way, just wait.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Lin Sinan's father-in-law came in with a young nurse. Lin Sinan took a look and found that it was an acquaintance, Nurse Xiao Li. To be honest, Lin Sinan was really afraid to see Doctor Xiao Zhang. Putting aside other things, his face really hurt.
Lin Sinan's father-in-law pointed at Lin Sinan and asked: Doctor, can he drink water now? Nurse Li looked at the watch on her wrist and said, the time is up, he should be able to drink water, but he needs to be careful about what he eats, mainly liquid food, don't eat anything too hard, don't eat anything spicy, that's all.
Lin Sinan's father-in-law listened. He looked at the bedside, turned around, and couldn't find the water cup, so he began to search everywhere. Nurse Li took a look and turned away. A moment later, Nurse Li came in with a can of milk and handed it to Lin Sinan's father-in-law. She said, "Feed him with a straw, one sip at a time, and drink carefully. Don't choke. If he coughs and breaks the line, it will be troublesome. Okay." Lin Sinan's father-in-law agreed and took the milk from Nurse Li.
Lin Sinan drank the entire can of milk in one gulp and immediately felt better. So he said to his father-in-law, "Dad, you should go back first. You'll be the one looking after us tonight. Peiyu and Mom are both struggling to take care of the kids. Besides, it's not convenient for you to stay here. There's no place to rest. I'm fine now. You can come back tomorrow morning."
Lin Sinan's father-in-law glanced at him and asked, "Can you do it yourself?" "No problem, you can go back. That's fine too. Ask your mom to make you something for dinner tomorrow, and I'll bring it over." "Anything's fine. I love everything my mom cooks," Lin Sinan replied. "Okay, then I'll see to the arrangements." With that, Lin Sinan's father-in-law turned and left, his movements flowing like water. He was incredibly elegant.
