Although she spoke of the matter in a very light-hearted manner, he could tell by looking at her face that the so-called "sickness" meant that she was on the verge of death.

It's understandable that she hates him, blames him, and doesn't want to be involved with him for the rest of her life.

Once, he arrogantly believed that the person who couldn't let go would be Ye Sheng, but now, the person who really can't let go is him.

After Ye Sheng said this, she didn't speak again. She obviously didn't want to mention the past so as to gain some sympathy in front of Lu Tingzhou.

Lu Tingzhou knew it in his heart. He looked at her absent-minded profile and opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.

The corridor outside the operating room fell into oppressive silence again.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

One minute, two minutes, one hour, two hours...

Before I knew it, the sky outside the corridor was gradually getting brighter.

Before I knew it, six hours had passed.

Six hours of silence, six hours of waiting, and finally, the red light above the operating room finally went out.

Ye Sheng, who had stayed up all night, had red eyes. When she saw the lights go out, her whole body became tense and she suddenly stood up from the chair.

There was a hint of fear on his seemingly calm face.

Lu Tingzhou frowned in distress. He raised his hand and wanted to wrap his arms around Ye Sheng's body, but he was afraid that she would reject her. In the end, he just put his hand on her shoulder, as if to give her strength, and squeezed hard.

He squeezed her shoulders.

"Don't worry, if there were any problems with the operation, Tang Yin wouldn't have stayed in there for five or six hours before coming out."

Perhaps Lu Tingzhou's words had an effect. Ye Sheng's tight body relaxed a little. At this moment, the door of the operating room opened.

Tang Yin, who had stayed up all night, and the medical assistant behind him slowly walked out of the door. Everyone's eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes.

Ye Sheng stared at Tang Yin closely, but opened his mouth and couldn't ask a word for a long time.

"How is the old man doing?"

It was Lu Tingzhou who asked the question on her behalf, successfully attracting Tang Yin's annoyed gaze.

"Don't worry, what you, Mr. Lu, told me will work even if it doesn't work."

He pointed at his red eyes with two fingers and said, "You have to make it up to me for staying up all night."

Hearing Tang Yin's relaxed tone, Ye Sheng also knew that the operation was successful, and a faint smile finally appeared on his originally nervous face.

"Dr. Tang, thank you."

She spoke hoarsely.

Tang Yin shook his head at her, with a somewhat unclear look in his eyes, "Thank you, thank you. Please tell Lu Tingzhou not to make things difficult for others next time."

As he said that, he covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm sleepy, go back and catch up on some sleep. Let my assistant tell you the rest."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When he walked around Lu Tingzhou, he gave him a cold look and said, "Remember to return this favor."

"Don't worry."

Lu Tingzhou waved his hand to him and sent him away impatiently.

Ye Sheng raised his eyes and stared at Tang Yin's leaving figure, thinking about the riddle between him and Lu Tingzhou, thinking deeply.

The next second, her vision was blocked by a big hand that suddenly stretched out. She raised her eyes and met Lu Tingzhou's deep gaze, as well as the lingering taste in his eyes.

"What's so good about him?"

Ye Sheng: "..."

She didn't speak, she just looked away and looked at Tang Yin's intern in front of her.

"The old gentleman is old, and with this long operation, although there is no danger of illness for the time being, he still needs to be observed in the ICU for two days. If there is no emergency, he can be transferred to the general ward."

The young attending doctor said matter-of-factly, "There are also some post-operative precautions that we will send to the family members later."

"Thanks."

Several medical assistants were also very tired. Ye Sheng let them go without asking any more questions.

By the time the old man was sent to the ICU and everything was ready, it was already broad daylight.

Ye Sheng's hanging heart was temporarily relieved. She hadn't slept all night, her head was dizzy, and her energy was a little low at this time.

"Shengsheng, the old man is out of danger, shall I send you back to rest first?"

Lu Tingzhou's voice came to mind beside her.

Only then did Ye Sheng realize that Lu Tingzhou had been by her side for more than six hours. At this time, his eyes were also covered with red bloodshot eyes.

Although he made excuses saying that he was waiting for Tang Yin, she was not stupid enough to really believe it.

If you say you don't thank him, that would be a lie.

No matter how much she hates Lu Tingzhou in her heart, what he is doing for her now is all true.

"You haven't slept all night, so go back and rest first."

Ye Sheng spoke with a calm tone, but Lu Tingzhou was stunned to hear a trace of worry from these plain words.

Even just a little bit was enough to make Lu Tingzhou happy and raise the corners of his mouth to smile. Anyway, it was quite worthless.

"Then... let's go together?"

Ye Sheng: "???"

Meeting Ye Sheng's questioning gaze, Lu Tingzhou coughed slightly with some guilt, and hurriedly explained:

"I...I meant to go back together, just in time."

The old man's affairs have been arranged, and the ICU cannot keep people for the time being. Ye Sheng thought about it and did not refuse.

The driver, Lao Zhang, had been waiting downstairs for a long time. As soon as he saw the two people coming out, he immediately stepped forward and opened the door, "Master, Madam, good morning."

Ye Sheng was so tired and groggy at the moment that she didn't notice Lao Zhang's words of "young lady". She just nodded politely to him and got in the car.

However, Lu Tingzhou glanced at her consciously, and seeing that she did not deny it, he thought that she had acquiesced in the title of Lao Zhang, and the joy in his heart instantly filled his chest.

The smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed. Even after staying up all night, he was instantly full of energy because of such a small thing.

After getting in the car, Ye Sheng fell asleep as soon as she touched the soft pillow on the back of the seat.

Lu Tingzhou turned his head and looked at Ye Sheng sleeping soundly, and immediately lowered his voice.

"Master..."

The driver, Lao Zhang, was about to speak, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Tingzhou putting his fingers to his lips, making a silencing gesture, with a faint warning in his eyes.

Lao Zhang took a look and said, okay, the young master's little ancestor is asleep.

He immediately did not dare to say anything, drove away from the hospital without saying a word, and even consciously raised the partition of the back seat slowly.

Be a discerning veteran driver.

Lu Tingzhou didn't care. He leaned forward and carefully lowered the back of the chair, letting Ye Sheng lie down flat on his back.

His eyes fell on her sleeping face, but he couldn't bear to look away.

He raised his hand gently, and slowly brushed Ye Sheng's cheek with his thin, calloused fingertips.
