"If anything happens to Xiao Bei, I won't live either!"
Chu Yun sat on the bench, his eyes slightly red and swollen, filled with tears at that moment.
The Cold Thunder said nothing and did not move.
The doctor's words echoed in his ears.
Mild cases lead to lifelong sequelae, severe cases result in death...
This was truly a life-and-death challenge!
Such torment felt like seconds stretched into years.
After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room finally went out!
The Cold Thunder and Chu Yun both raised their heads simultaneously, and the Cold Thunder rushed to the operating room door in a single leap.
The Attending Physician walked out, drenched in sweat, removed his mask, and revealed a smile on his face.
" Mr. Cold, the surgery was very successful. All three needles have been removed without any issues!"
The Cold Thunder finally showed a relieved smile.
The nurse pushed Cold Haocheng out; he lay quietly on the hospital bed, still unconscious.
Cold Thunder pushed the hospital bed towards the ward with the nurse.
Chu Yun did not follow immediately but entered the operating room, where the nurses were tidying up. On a nearby table, there was a tray containing a removed needle.
The broken needle was only a small piece.
Although she knew it was unlikely to be that coincidental, she still had to take a look.
Seeing that the needle was just a small fragment, she felt relieved because the broken needle she had placed in the box was exactly half.
Chu Yun quickly caught up with Cold Thunder.
"Please tell Miss Lu in room V606 that the surgery was very successful and she doesn't need to worry."
"Okay," the nurse nodded.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Kenian finally felt her heart settle.
Although Cold Haocheng's surgery was very successful, it had lasted four hours. To prevent infection, he had been receiving intravenous fluids for half a month, and he had lost quite a bit of weight.
At this time, Lu Xiaonan was preparing to be discharged.
Lu Xiaonan had seven stitches on his head and a comminuted fracture in his left arm.
Other than that, there were basically no major issues. He could come back to the hospital for suture removal once his head healed, and his left arm needed time to recover, so there was no need to continue staying in the hospital.
Lu Kenian specifically chose a time when Chu Yun was not present to visit Cold Haocheng's ward.
Cold Haocheng no longer needs intravenous fluids, but due to his special condition, he still needs to be observed in the hospital for a few more days.
“Xiao Bei, are you feeling better?”
Lu Kenian gazed at Cold Haocheng lying in the hospital bed.
Cold Haocheng opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
These days, he had been very quiet, which was quite unusual. He would eat when it was time to eat and sleep when it was time to sleep; the rest of the time, he played with toys, not crying or making a fuss.
Lu Kenian gently patted Cold Haocheng's small head.
“Auntie promised to make you some delicious food. I made paper cup cakes and double-skin milk. I hope you like them.”
Cold Haocheng just stared blankly at the treats Lu Kenian brought and reached out to take a paper cup cake to eat.
Cold Thunder felt quite uncomfortable hearing him call her “Auntie.”
Seeing that Cold Haocheng finally started eating, Lu Kenian felt relieved.
“I have to go now,” Lu Kenian said while watching Cold Haocheng eat the cake.
“Go? So soon? Is Xiao Nan's health back to normal?”
“He has already recovered. The stitches on his head can be removed later; he just needs to come back for a check-up once his left hand is healed. When can Xiao Bei be discharged?”
“The doctor said he needs to be observed for a week. If everything is fine, he can be discharged.”
"Xiao Bei has narrowly escaped death this time. At such a young age, experiencing a car accident and a major surgery must have terrified him. You need to take some time to accompany him during these days."
"Don't worry, I will."
The two suddenly fell into silence; apart from the child, it seemed they had nothing left between them.
"Can I go see Xiao Nan?"
"I don't think that's necessary. Our son belongs to you, and our daughter belongs to me. Let's keep it that way. I just don't want Xiao Bei to suffer that kind of harm again. If I had known, I would have taken legal action. Although I know your Cold Family is powerful, I will not back down for my son!"
Lu Kenian's words remained extremely cold.
Her tone didn't sound like she was speaking to the father of her child; it felt more like she was addressing an enemy.
"I understand what you mean. Whenever you're ready to leave, I'll see you off."
"No need."
Lu Kenian glanced at Cold Haocheng once more before leaving.
Cold Thunder watched her departing figure, feeling a tightness in his throat.
She still hated him; her hatred for him had not only remained but had intensified because of Xiao Bei.
Cold Thunder lowered his head, his heart aching.
In the afternoon, Lu Kenian took Lu Xiaonan onto the train back to M City, and Lin Xiao left with them as well.
Lin Xiao's original communication time had not yet ended; this time he specifically took leave to send Lu Kenian and Lu Xiaonan back.
“Mom, we still haven't gone to the zoo!” Lu Xiaonan lamented about the zoo she had been looking forward to.
“Xiao Nan, once your arm is healed, we will come back for a check-up, and then mom will take you to the zoo, okay?”
Lu Xiaonan immediately nodded, “Okay!”
Although she had injured one arm, Lu Xiaonan was still lively and playful, but after a while, she fell asleep.
Lin Xiao looked at Lu Kenian and suddenly handed her a ring.
“ Lu Kenian, will you marry me?”
Lu Kenian was originally gazing out the window, but when she heard those words and turned to see the ring, she was completely stunned!
Lin Xiao appeared awkward and shyly smiled.
“I know this is a bit sudden, but I am sincere. I will take good care of you and Xiao Nan. You can rest assured that I will treat Xiao Nan as my own daughter and cherish her. Let me take care of both of you, okay?”
Lu Kenian looked at Lin Xiao's bashful expression and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Three years ago, if it weren't for Lin Xiao, Lu Xiaonan wouldn't have been with her; she might have fallen into Chu Yun's clutches.
Over the past three years, Lin Xiao's attentive care for both mother and daughter had always been in Lu Kenian's heart.
He truly was a rare good man.
She has always had someone in her heart, and that person is Cold Thunder.
Lu Kenian doesn't even know when she started to like Cold Thunder. She finds it strange that she could fall for a playboy.
But she is too rational and lives too clearly.
She knows that the gap between her and Cold Thunder is too great; she could never marry into a family like the Cold Family.
So, she has kept this love hidden in her heart and has always been good friends with Cold Thunder, sharing everything.
But now, it's time to let go of all of this.
Lin Xiao's hand holding the ring felt a bit sore, but he never let go.
Just when he thought Lu Kenian would refuse, he silently prepared to retract his hand.
However, Lu Kenian directly took the ring and slipped it onto her finger.
Lin Xiao looked up, and the two exchanged smiles.
