Cold Thunder stepped out and instructed the servants not to inform Cheng Ying about Cold Haocheng's hospitalization before hurrying back to the hospital.
Tonight would be the hardest night to endure.
Tomorrow would be the surgery, and since both needles were in the abdominal cavity, Cold Haocheng could not eat at all and could only rely on intravenous glucose for sustenance.
Cold Thunder quietly kept vigil in the hospital room.
Lu Kenian gently knocked a few times before entering.
"How is Xiao Bei doing?"
"He's asleep." There was a hint of hoarseness and helplessness in Cold Thunder's voice.
Lu Kenian placed a food container on the table. "You should eat something. How can you take care of Xiao Bei if you don't eat or drink?"
Cold Thunder looked up at Lu Kenian. "I'm sorry; I didn't take good care of Xiao Bei."
His sense of indebtedness to Lu Kenian grew even more...
"What does saying sorry mean now?" Lu Kenian replied coldly.
"Yes, it means nothing. By the way, how is Xiao Nan?"
"She is already asleep, you don't need to worry about Xiao Nan. I will take good care of her." Lu Kenian's gaze remained fixed on Cold Haocheng.
Cold Thunder let out a slow breath.
What he brought her was only worry and unease.
Cold Haocheng suddenly shivered.
Lu Kenian immediately pulled the blanket up for him.
"How is he doing? I heard that many of the children from the kindergarten accident are not in a good mental state."
"He has been sleeping, and when he wakes up, he doesn't speak, just stares blankly at the ceiling. He doesn't respond when called; he might be scared."
"Naturally, children would be frightened after such a big incident, so you need to comfort him well."
"Mm."
"Then I'll take my leave." Lu Kenian walked straight toward the hospital room door. Just as she was about to grab the doorknob, it turned, and someone pushed the door open.
Chu Yun.
They bumped into each other face to face, both startled.
Cold Thunder turned around.
"Yes... Lu Kenian, it's been a long time." Chu Yun greeted immediately.
Lu Kenian couldn't help but snort through his nose and walked straight out.
Chu Yun then entered with a large bag of items.
" Cold Thunder, it must be tiring for you to be here alone. I brought you some clothes to change into, along with toiletries, and Xiao Bei's favorite toy. Xiao Bei is probably scared, so I thought the toy might distract him. I don't know if you've eaten yet, but I also brought you some water dumplings; you can have a few bites."
It was still the gentle and considerate Chu Yun.
"Just put it down," Cold Thunder said coldly.
Chu Yun noticed the lunch box on the table and thought it must have been brought by Lu Kenian.
She slowly knelt down on the ground and grabbed Cold Thunder's sleeve.
" Cold Thunder, you have to believe me. I've always treated Xiao Bei like my own son. How could I possibly do something so inhumane?"
Chu Yun spoke with tears in her eyes, trying to keep her voice down so as not to wake Cold Haocheng, making her tone sound even more aggrieved.
"I really love children. When we were dating, I mentioned more than once that I wanted to have several kids with you in the future. But Lu Kenian maliciously caused an accident that led the doctors to remove my uterus. I can never have children again. When I see Xiao Bei, I think he will be my only support in the future, and I must take good care of him."
"Do you remember that time you were on a business trip? Xiao Bei had a high fever one night, and I stayed at the hospital with him for an entire week without changing my clothes. I wished I could suffer in his place. I truly love Xiao Bei; please don't question me with doubt. It would make me very sad."
Cold Thunder looked at Chu Yun and immediately helped her up from the ground.
"What are you doing? I didn't say anything. The words I spoke at home today were just because of Xiao Bei's urgent situation, and I might have been a bit harsh. Don't take it to heart."
Cold Thunder picked up the water dumplings that Chu Yun bought and started eating.
Hearing this, Chu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the bond she had with Cold Thunder over six years couldn't be easily swayed by another woman!
Chu Yun immediately poured a cup of hot water for Cold Thunder.
"Drink some hot water later. Look at your lips; they're chapped."
"Mm."
Although Cold Thunder said this, his attitude remained indifferent.
Chu Yun naturally wanted to show her care, tucking in the corners of the blanket and tidying up the table, looking every bit like a devoted wife.
After Cold Thunder finished eating, she directly cleared away the dishes.
"Watch over Xiao Bei. I'm going to take a shower."
In the VIP Ward, there was a separate washroom.
"Okay." Chu Yun immediately handed over her organized items to Cold Thunder. "Here are your change of clothes and some toiletries."
Cold Thunder glanced at them, nodded, took off his jacket and handed it to Chu Yun, then went into the washroom with the change of clothes and toiletries.
When she heard the sound of water splashing, Chu Yun immediately grabbed the coat of Cold Thunder!
Yes! This was her true purpose!
She planned to present herself as the perfect wife in front of Cold Thunder, and then, while he wasn't paying attention, swap out the box of needles he had taken!
Chu Yun quickly stuffed the box of needles from the coat into her pocket and took out another identical box from her own pocket.
To avoid raising any suspicion from Cold Thunder, she even deliberately broke one of the needles.
By the time Cold Haocheng finished his surgery and they retrieved the broken needle, it would definitely not match!
Having done all this, Chu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was clever; otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to pull off this deception!
When Cold Thunder came out, he had no idea what had happened.
Chu Yun even helped him make his bed.
The next morning, while pretending to go buy breakfast, Chu Yun threw the box of needles into a distant trash can, knowing it would be impossible to retrieve.
Cold Haocheng's surgery was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning.
Lu Kenian stayed in Lu Xiaonan's hospital room and did not go.
She kept staring out the window, glancing at the time from time to time, and pacing back and forth in the room.
Lin Xiao only learned this morning that Lu Xiaonan was hospitalized, and upon finding out, he rushed over immediately.
"Lu Kenian, if you're worried, you can wait by the surgery room door. That way, you'll know the news as soon as it comes. I'm here with you."
Lu Xiaonan had no idea what they were talking about; she was just focused on her own activities.
"I don't want to see Chu Yun."
Every time she thought Chu Yun's demeanor was too pretentious, yet it always seemed to work effectively on men.
Lu Kenian felt disgusted!
But she was genuinely worried about Cold Haocheng's surgery. Although Cold Thunder hadn't said much, she knew that the surgery wasn't simple at all!
Outside the surgery room, Cold Thunder and Chu Yun were anxiously waiting.
