The doctors were busy saving their patient while Gu Juexi continued to rant.
Ye Yuwei looked at the operation theatre and put her hands together to pray for Gu Tianmu to be alright. Gu Tianmu had to be alright, or Gu Juexi was going to lose it.
The operation went on from 8.30 pm to 2.00 am in the morning, and Gu Juexi had eventually calmed down as time passed.
Too worried to rest, Ye Yuwei paced in front of the operation theatre.
The back of Gu Juexi’s hand bled when he punched the wall. The blood had dried and formed scabs all over the back of his hand, making it terrifying to look at.
Ye Yuwei stopped pacing after a while. She went to Gu Juexi and squatted down to hold his hand as she murmured, “he will be fine. How can an arrogant man like him give up his life so easily?”
“The doctor said his will to live was weak. How ridiculous! Why didn’t he just die if his will to live was weak? Why trouble me to save him?” Gu Juexi rested his head on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and bit out through clenched teeth.
“Because he is your father, that’s why you should save him. And also, because he is your father, I have faith that he will not give up so easily.” Ye Yuwei squeezed Gu Juexi’s hand and comforted him.
This should be the last challenge that Gu Juexi would ever encounter. No other challenges would be as big as this one once they overcame it.
Ye Yuwei was grateful that she got to be by Gu Juexi’s side for every challenge that he faced.
The operation went on until 5.00 am in the morning. Ye Yuwei was leaning back in the chair when the operation finished, and Gu Juexi jumped up from the chair the second the doctors came out from the operation theatre.
“How is he?” asked Gu Juexi worriedly.
“We have treated the infection, but it looks like there are places where the patient would need a second skin transplant. Take good care of him during this period to bring down the fever,” the doctor answered. He looked tired after operating the whole night.
“So he is out of danger now, right?” Gu Juexi asked softly.
Ye Yuwei stood up quietly and went to Gu Juexi, holding his arm when he heaved a sigh of relief after the doctor nodded affirmatively.
Gu Tianmu was sent back to his ward. Gu Juexi did not follow Gu Tianmu and sat down on a bench outside his ward.
Ye Yuwei knew that Gu Juexi needed space now.
Ye Yuwei pushed the door open and entered the ward. Gu Tianmu was still relying on life support to survive, and the right half of his body was elevated to avoid putting pressure on his wounds.
“I know you hate me and my family, but Gu Juexi and Mom are both innocent and have been waiting for you to wake up,” said Ye Yuwei softly as she sat down beside the bed and tucked his blanket in properly. “Gu Juexi is just like you—his bark is worse than his bite. He got so worried about you that he could barely contain himself. Do you still think that he doesn’t care about you?”
Ye Yuwei stared at the person lying on the bed.
“Gu Juexi would feel guilty for the rest of his life if you don’t wake up,” said Ye Yuwei. “The school’s anniversary of the university I went to is in a few days. Gu Juexi would be very happy if you were awake by then.”
Ye Yuwei continued to speak even though there was no response from Gu Tianmu.
