the two people in front of her. "Luckily I was prepared in advance. The restaurant has a table reserved for you two, and the movie tickets are for this afternoon. I'll cook dinner for both of you ton...Everything was unknown to Shen Yian, who got up at 6 a.m.

Today is Monday, it's her mother's surgery day.

Because she was nervous, her mind raced and her hands trembled while she made breakfast. She almost burned the eggs.

After breakfast, at half past six, Shen Yian didn't go to disturb Song Lin and went straight to the hospital.

As soon as she entered the ward, the nursemaid saw that her complexion was not good and quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Miss Shen, didn't you sleep well last night"

"Well, I'm a little nervous," Shen Yian admitted.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie is with you."

The caregiver patted Shen Yian's back, her eyes full of warmth.

"Thank you." Shen Yian paused for a moment before softly replying.

Just like that, Shen Yian and the nurse wheeled Mother into the operating room. Shortly after, a nurse came out with paperwork for her to sign.

"Ms. Shen, I need to inform you about the risks of the surgery. Please pay close attention to where I point and what I say. Make sure you read everything carefully before signing."

"Mm." Shen Yian nodded.

"Because your mother's situation is very special, and she wasn't in good health to begin with, this surgery could potentially lead to paralysis or even death..."

The nurse said something else, but Shen Yian couldn't hear it.

She only heard the two words "death," and her mind instantly became muddled.

She thought of her parents' pampering since childhood, her father's last words on his deathbed, and Gu Cheng's persuasion to give up. Even Song Lin's face flashed through her mind for a moment.

Her mind went blank, she knew she was too scared.

“Do you understand” the nurse said.

"Understood." Shen Yian nodded hastily.

"Sign here."

The nurse put the pen on the paper.

Shen Yian trembled, his fingers shaking as he picked up the pen twice before finally clutching it tightly.

The nurse worriedly said, "Miss Shen, are you alright Do you have any family here It would be better to have someone accompany you."

After all, it's such a high-risk surgery, no one can guarantee anything.

What if... when the time comes, how will Shen Yian, all alone as a woman, cope

After hearing the news of a loved one's death in the hospital, some people have been known to cry hysterically against walls and even jump from windows.

Shen Yian shook his head resolutely. "I can do it myself."

Today, Mom had surgery. She didn't tell Mo Auntie and Song Rin.

This icy feeling of dread, she could bear it alone. Why burden others with it

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the caregiver stood up and gently helped her.

"Nurse, you can rest assured, I will stay with her."

Shen Yian looked gratefully at the nurse and finally had a bit of strength to sign his name.

After the nurse confirmed, she went into the operating room. Not long after, the surgical lights came on.

Shen Yian's heart skipped a beat.

He did not know how long he had been standing there, until the caregiver gently nudged his arm.

Miss Shen, I heard your phone in your bag keeps vibrating. Is someone looking for you

"Okay."

Shen Yi'an came back to his senses and moved slightly, feeling a sharp pain throughout his body.

Finally, a caregiver helped her sit down, which eased the numbness.

She took out her phone and found that it wasn't someone calling, but her colleagues' group chat was going crazy with everyone being @ed non-stop.

Shen Yian didn't want to look, but he was worried about missing work, so he clicked on it.

To my surprise, what came into view was a completely different Xu Manman.g expression.Zhou, the general manager, is very clear about what Wang Ruqi has up her sleeve. To put it plainly, she just wants to humiliate Shen Yian before she resigns.After some thought, he nodded....
