Chuxue Ye looked at her mother up and down, saying: “Mom, why are you so defensive for Xuan
Zhao? Is it because that you are anxious to have a grandson?”
“Every mother is not easy, when you get pregnant and have a child later, you will be able to understand
what I feel now.”
After hearing this, Chuxue did not know what to say to refute her mother. It seemed that it still was a
mystery that whether her pitiful brother could be with Yiyao Duan as he wished.
It was cool in the Autumn night, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. The outside of the operating
room was so quiet that Chuxue almost fell asleep as she waited for a long time.
“How come the operation is not over yet, did something bad happen?” Venus Mu became more and
more worried.
Kerry Ye put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her, “If something bad happened, there would be
no need to rescue him for so long. Don't think too much.”
As soon as he finished his words, the door of the operating room was pushed open again, and Kerry
and Venus hurried to come over, asking: “Doctor, how is my son?”
The doctor was full of fatigue and weariness, saying: “Are you Jingyan Ye's family?”
“Yes, we are.”
The doctor's voice sounded quite tired, “The operation is done, which is almost a success. But it's up to
the patient that if he can get through the dangerous period.”
“Where is he?”
“He's been sent to the ICU on the fifth floor. Another doctor will tell you the precautions later.”
“Okay. Thank you, doctor.”
Then they took the elevator to the fifth floor, as Venus was about to push the door to go in, they were
stopped by the nurse inside, “Sorry, the patient needs to be in the sterile environment and the family
members are not allowed to come in.”
“Okay, okay......” Venus apologized repeatedly and she came back to the glass window of the
monitoring room. As soon as she saw her son, she started to cry.
Jingyan's body was filled with various tubes, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He was
lying there lifelessly and only the red and yellow lights that kept flashing next to him showed that he
was still alive.
Since his childhood, Venus had never seen him like this. And she was heartbroken.
Kerry was still calm, “Do not cry, isn’t the operation successful!”
“I'm just sad that he got into this for a woman.”
Kerry then whispered by her ear because his daughter and Henry were there , “Your son does not get
into this for one woman, but for two.”
Venus was stunned and she broke into laughter at once, thinking: Indeed, how can I forgot about this.
Jun Duan learned that Kerry and his family would not go back tonight, so he arranged two wards for
them at the hospital to make it convenient for them to take care of Kerry.
“The patient's current situation is still very dangerous, although the operation is done, it is difficult to tell
whether he can wake up.” The main surgeon was professional and serious, and the ten-hour-long
operation had left his eyes covered with blood.
Kerry’s eyelids twitched, saying: “Then what can we family members do?”
“You can't do anything in 24 hours. When his physiological feature is stable after 24 hours, you can
help him if he still doesn't wake up.”
Kerry frowned his eyebrows, saying: “Thank you, doctor.”
The people of the Ye family and the Duan family could not sleep all night long, who were all worried
about the two injured people. And the Commander even called to inquire the situation of them when
they had operation, and instructed those people to notify him when they woke up.
The sea breeze blew for the whole night in the Sky City. The next day, the black clouds gathered
overhead and it looked that a storm was coming.
At noon, Yiyao Duan woke up, and Jun finally was relieved.
“Yiyao, you're awake.” Jun held his daughter's hand, who wore asepsis take.
Yiyao's face was covered by an oxygen mask, and she stammered a few words. But Jun didn't hear
her clearly, and he looked at his daughter's worried eyes, saying softly, “Jingyan's surgery is
successful, don't worry.”
She was delighted after hearing his words and fell asleep again after blinking her eyes for several
times.
The doctor did a detailed examination after hearing that she woke up, then he said to Jun,
“Commander, the patient's condition is becoming better, and if there are no accidents, she will wake up
in the afternoon, but by then her wound may be a bit painful.”
“I see, thanks.”
Just as what the main surgeon had said, Yiyao woke up again at around four o'clock in the afternoon,
whose oxygen mask was replaced with an oxygen tube, and her face was still pale.
“You're awake.” The nurse who took care of her smiled and said.
Yiyao rolled her eyes and looked at the ward. There was only her and the nurse.
The nurse was a smart girl, she smiled as she used a cotton swab to moisten Yiyao's lips, “You can't
drink water now. The Commander hasn’t slept from yesterday to this afternoon, so the director of
hospital asked him to rest just now.”
Yiyao looked at the white ceiling, and the pain in her body made her recall what had happened
yesterday.
Such a fool. It was her duty even if she was really killed by the gun. Why should he display gallantry to
protect her? Fortunately, his surgery was successful, if he had died yesterday, she would have owed
him a lot for the rest of her life.
“Uh ......” Yiyao whimpered in pain, she was so painful, as if her flesh had been cut from her body.
The nurse put down the cotton swab and asked, “The wound hurts, doesn't it? The doctor said that it
will be painful after the anesthetic dissipates, and you have to endure it because you can not use
medicine.”
Yiyao nodded gently and asked in a hoarse voice with difficulty, “The one......who was sent here......with
me......”
The nurse understood and said, “Don't worry, his surgery was successful, but because his injury is
more serious than yours, he is not awake now.” As soon as she finished her words, she found that the
heartbeat and blood pressure recorded on the monitor drifted upward, which made the nurse be
frightened and she hurried to comfort Yiyao: “Don’t worry, it is very normal that he is not awake now.
Maybe he will wake up this night. You must not be excited.”
Gradually, the numbers on the monitor returned to normal.
The nurse was relieved and said, “Colonel, if you want to see your boyfriend as soon as possible......he
is your boyfriend, right? Then you should hurry up and get better.”
Yiyao became delighted, thinking: Boyfriend? Sounds good too.
It started to rain outside. This day, a series of changes had happened in the Sky City. First of all, the
leader of the municipal Party Committee and the police commissioner were removed from office for
misconduct. Second, the leaders involved in the security work were all demoted and punished, even
the Director of the Public Security Department was also demoted by two levels, and the Secretary of a
provincial Party Committee was demoted by one level. The reasons for the declaration for their
demotion and dismission included malfeasance, administrative violations, as well as corruption and
bribery and so on.
Those who were removed or demoted did not have any complaints because they knew that fortunately
the first lady was not in trouble, otherwise the punishment would have been even severer and more
people would have been involved.
In the UCU ward on the fifth floor, Jingyan did not have any signs of waking up.
Venus’s eyes were red, who should have secretly cried last night. Chuxue felt quite sorry when she
saw her mother’s look, so she advised her to go home and rest.
“Your brother is still not awake, how can I go back now?” Venus looked at her son through the glass
and was even more worried than yesterday.
Chuxue knew that her mother was sometimes stubborn, so she stopped persuading her, “Then what do
you need? I'll go home and get it for you.”
“Take two sets of clothes for change, and the skin care product for daily wash and skin care. Besides,
take some of your brother's clothes, and your father's......”
After hearing that, Chuxue knew that her mother was ready to live in the hospital for a long time. That
was alright, it still took some time for her brother to recover even after he woke up, and mother would
definitely take care of him by herself. It was just because the military hospital did not allow cooking,
otherwise her mother would have definitely moved the kitchen utensils here and cooked for him.
“I know, I'm going back then.” Chuxue then said to Henry before she left, “Uncle Zhang, you buy some
dinner for my mother later, please. She didn't eat much at noon, and my father may not come until after
work because he has to deal with the business of the company.”
Henry nodded, saying: “Okay, I know. Be careful on the road.”
It was already dark when Chuxue drove home. She first went to her parents' room to pack the clothes,
then Xuan Zhao's voice came from outside, “Auntie, are you back?”
As soon as Chuxue heard her voice, she became annoyed. Then she threw the clothes on the bed and
walked out. When Xuan saw that it was Chuxue, she was stunned for a few seconds and said with a
smile, “Ruyi, you are back.”
“Ruyi is the name which only can be called by my parents and brother, you’d better call me Chuxue, for
we are not that close.” Chuxue said coldly.
Xuan became a little annoyed, but she still said with a smile, “Chuxue, why do you have to be so
hostile to me? Did I do something wrong?”
But Chuxue still said without showing any respect to her: “There's no reason. I just simply don't like
you.”
Xuan became embarrassed and aggrieved, showing a delicate look, “Then ...... what can I do so that
you won't hate me?”
“It is simple, move out of my house.”
Xuan looked at her, being completely dumbfounded. Although she was quite angry in her heart, she still
had to pretend to smile, saying: “Chuxue, I'm still carrying your Ye family's child, how can you be so
cruel to me as the aunt of the baby?”
“Aunt?” Chuxue sneered, “No, no. I have told you that we have nothing to do with each other. And I’m
not interested in being the aunt of your child.” Then Chuxue turned around and continued to pack the
clothes.
Xuan gritted her teeth and glared at her the view of her back, then she turned around and left as well.
After packing all the stuff, Chuxue asked the maid to carry them downstairs. Although she had noticed
that Xuan was sitting in the living room and watching her, she didn't say anything and left directly.
