Wei Yumeng woke up to find her pillow soaked with tears.
Even now, she felt an overwhelming sadness and a tightness in her chest.
She remembered Zhan Mohan bidding her farewell in her dream, saying those words, as if they had truly happened.
"Yu Tong? Xiang Xue?" Wei Yumeng tried calling their names, only to find they weren't there.
Wei Yumeng hesitated, then quietly got out of bed and walked out of the ward.
She knew she was in the same hospital as Zhan Mohan, just in a different department.
Following the signs, she quickly found the floor where Zhan Mohan should be…
"What did you say? Mo Han he…"
Chen Yu Tong's eyes widened, still unable to believe it. She had only been gone for a moment.
Zhan Yang Yi pulled her into his arms: "We don't want to believe it, but the doctor just told us."
Chen Yu Tong began to cry, and Zhan Yang Yi could only hold her, suppressing his own grief.
"No, impossible…" Wei Yumeng's eyes were red, but she forced back her tears, looking at the others.
"I don't believe it… I don't believe it! You said… you said with Dr. Vinson here, everything would be fine." Wei Yumeng shook her head, as if that could make the bad news disappear.
"Yu Meng, why did you come out?" Shen Xiang Xue was startled and rushed to Wei Yumeng's side.
But Wei Yumeng pushed her away and trembled towards the operating room door.
She reached out and touched the door of the operating room. The coldness made her heart ache even more.
"Mo Han, you promised me that after everything was over, you would take our family on a trip abroad. Jin Zhi and Shi Qing are waiting for you at home." She said, taking a deep breath and continuing, "And the baby in my belly is also waiting for you to get better. If you leave, what will happen to us, mother and child?"
"Yu Meng…" Shen Xiang Xue looked at her sadly, not knowing how to comfort her.
"Mo Han, you said even if you were gone, you wanted me to live well. But if you're gone, how can I be happy? Mo Han… I want you back… no matter the cost…"
In the operating room, Vinson's brows were furrowed. It was indeed a difficult situation even for him.
"Dr. Vinson, his heartbeat… his heartbeat is completely gone…" a doctor beside him said despairingly.
Vinson gritted his teeth and said, "Don't panic…"
But even he wasn't sure of his chances now.
In fact, all the procedures of the surgery had gone smoothly. The only accident was the surgery being brought forward, which turned this into a gamble.
Although Vinson was a doctor, he also believed that the will to live was very important.
At this moment, a faint sound came from outside the operating room.
"Mo Han, you said even if you were gone, you wanted me to live well. But if you're gone, how can I be happy? Mo Han… I want you back… no matter the cost…"
"It's Wei girl." Vinson was slightly taken aback. This surgery was supposed to be kept a secret from Wei Yumeng.
But he couldn't care less now. Zhan Mohan was even in a state of suspended animation, and if they couldn't revive him now, it would be truly hopeless.
Vinson took a deep breath and said into Zhan Mohan's ear, "Can you hear that? Your wife and child are still waiting for you…"
After speaking, he turned to his assistant and said, "Prepare for defibrillation."
"Mo Han! Can you hear my voice? We are all waiting for you…"
Wei Yumeng's voice gave out, and she collapsed on the ground.
Zhan Yang Yi, worried about her health, found a doctor. But when he saw the doctor's face, he was slightly stunned: "You are…"
Shen Xiang Xue looked at the person and was also surprised: "I really thought you would hide from her forever."
Chai Yan Yu took a deep breath. Things had come to this point; how could he continue to hide in the shadows?
Especially since Zhan Mohan had spoken to him that night.
"Xiang Xue said you were looking for me?" Chai Yan Yu looked at Zhan Mohan on the hospital bed expressionlessly.
Zhan Mohan said indifferently, "Yes, I have something important to discuss with you, about Yu Meng."
Hearing Wei Yumeng's name, Chai Yan Yu faltered slightly but pretended not to care, "You should know that I am Shen Xiang Xue's fiancé now. I will not interfere in your affairs."
"But I can only turn to you now. I know you've been protecting her from behind all this time. Some things are not easy for her to do alone."
Chai Yan Yu didn't beat around the bush upon hearing this, "Even if I did these things, it was for her, not for you."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan's eyes showed obvious anger, but he knew today was not the time to argue with Chai Yan Yu.
"If I cannot survive this ordeal, I hope that you will be the one to take care of Yu Meng in the future."
Chai Yan Yu couldn't quite believe Zhan Mohan's words.
Zhan Mohan continued, "I know my condition best. Even someone like Dr. Vinson finds it difficult, so this matter might be more complicated than imagined. If I were truly gone, among the people I know, I can be sure that you are the one who truly cares for her. So, at that time, I would be willing to entrust her to you."
"You… you really plan to…"
"However, if I survive this ordeal, I certainly won't make any concessions. It is precisely because I love her that I don't want her to suffer so much in the future."
Chai Yan Yu sneered, "You are truly annoying like this, but… for Yu Meng's sake, I promise…"
Chai Yan Yu's thoughts returned to the present. He walked to Wei Yumeng's side and extended his hand to her.
"Yu Meng, don't be like this. He wouldn't want to see you like this. And you have to think about the baby in your belly. Let's sit down and wait properly, shall we?"
Wei Yumeng looked up at Chai Yan Yu, "Ah Yu, you said Mo Han will be fine, right?"
Chai Yan Yu smiled at her, "Yes, he'll be fine. Look, the surgery isn't over yet, is it?"
Only then did Wei Yumeng take Chai Yan Yu's hand and stand up from the ground.
"Alright, look at you, you've cried so much. You look so bad. If Mr. Zhan's surgery is successful, he won't be in a good mood if he sees you looking like this."
Chai Yan Yu said, wiping away Wei Yumeng's tears with his hand.
Wei Yumeng nodded, "You're right, I should wait for Mo Han to come back."
"He'll be fine… Trust me…" Chai Yan Yu sighed and held Wei Yumeng tightly.
