Post-Surgery Side Effects

Lu Yuan felt a bit proud hearing her brother praised, but thinking that even if he recovered he would have to leave the military still made her very sad...

Lin Nannan sensed her sadness and placed a hand on her shoulder, saying, "Compared to all that, your Big Brother's safety is the most important. If your Big Brother has to step down, we'll take Du Du and go back to accompany Mom and Dad..."

Lu Yuan, thinking of her Big Brother's current condition, pressed her lips together and said, "You're right. As long as Big Brother is safe, that's what matters most!"

"He definitely will be. Isn't it said that no news is good news? Have faith in your Big Brother—he can definitely pull through. Besides, would he really be willing to leave my sister and Du Du? They're his life; he wouldn't give up!" Lin Shuang instinctively comforted her, feeling that what she said was absolutely right.

Everyone knew how much Lu Hang cared for Lin Nannan and their child, so he definitely wouldn't be willing to give up.

No matter how difficult it was, he would definitely persevere.

Lu Yuan’s eyes welled up with tears again at Lin Shuang’s words, and she choked out, "That's right. He loves my sister-in-law so much and dotes on Du Du so dearly—he’s sure to get better!"

Lin Nannan held her, patting her shoulder without saying a word. Sometimes silence spoke louder than words.

Three days later, Lu Hang was finally moved out of the ICU with the doctors' approval.

His eyes remained tightly shut, and he hadn’t regained consciousness. Severe blood loss had left him deathly pale and barely recognizable.

"A Hang," Lin Nannan called out, her hands shook at seeing how frail he looked.

Lin Shuang and Lu Yuan immediately crowded around his bedside. When Jiang Xiaomeng tried to get closer, A Da and A Jian coordinated perfectly and blocked her path.

She tried a few times, knowing they didn't want her to approach, and finally stopped trying.

"Doctor, how is my big brother? Is he still unconscious?" Lu Yuan sensed something was wrong and asked the doctor who followed them out.

Her Big Sister-in-law was on the verge of tears, and her big brother hadn't woken up—this wasn't like him at all—so Lu Yuan couldn't help but voice her concern.

The doctor who followed them removed his mask, glanced at everyone, and said in a serious, grave tone, "The surgery was successful, but the injury was too close to his heart. We had to be cautious with the anesthesia, which led to some side effects. Although the wound is healing well, he hasn't regained consciousness. You need to be mentally prepared—if he doesn't wake up in the next few days, he might not wake up at all."

These words stunned everyone.

"No, that can't be," Lu Yuan murmured, shaking her head as she muttered, "How is this possible? Even when he was paralyzed before, he was conscious and could talk to us. Now he can't even speak?"

Lin Nannan looked at the unconscious Lu Hang, then at the distraught Lu Yuan, and gritted her teeth as she made a decision. "Don't you worry, I won't let anything happen to your big brother!"

Lu Yuan wasn't convinced. With eyes blurred with tears, she looked at Lin Nannan and cried out, "Big Sister-in-law, what do we do? Will he never wake up?"

"No, he will definitely recover!" Lin Nannan said with unwavering determination.

Lu Yuan hesitated, wanting to say more but holding back. She fell silent, but her tears kept falling, "plip-plop," without end...

She wept silently, and though everyone noticed, no one spoke. It was better to let the tears flow than to keep the pain bottled up inside.

When Zhang Shengguo arrived, he didn't see anyone around. After asking around, he learned that Lu Hang was out of surgery. He hurried to the ward, but as he stood at the doorway, he noticed the absence of laughter or joy inside. His heart sank. When he entered, he saw everyone's somber expressions, and his eyes went straight to Lu Hang lying unconscious in the hospital bed...
