The next day, it was time for surgery.

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive treatment method with the characteristics of small damage and quick recovery. Patients can basically be discharged from the hospital after about 3 to 4 days of hospitalization.

Gu Weijin arrived early. This time he didn't bring Xiao Tuantuan, but he brought a bouquet of flowers.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the results of the preoperative examination came out, showing that everything was normal, and Su Xiaonian was immediately arranged into the operating room.

Before the operation, Liu Yufeng and Su Yuze held her hands, and tears kept flowing from their four eyes, making it seem like a farewell between life and death.

She smiled and comforted her mother and little nephew, saying that she would be full of energy when she came out and would take them to the most delicious meal.

Su Tingxi coaxed the old ones first and then the young ones.

Gu Weijin only felt that the family affection in this family was so strong and sweet!

Regardless of the type of surgery, a preoperative conversation is required, and the family must be informed of the various possibilities of the surgery, the surgical process, and the possible risks.

Private hospitals are different. Even during the preoperative conversation, there were a lot of snacks on the table. They were obviously Su Yuze’s favorites, but he didn’t touch a single bite today.

He stared at the doctor who was talking very nervously, trying to hear something useful from the words of the adults.

The doctor said the surgery would take one to two hours and would be minimally risky. "Don't worry, Ms. Su, the risks are minimal, practically non-existent. We are simply following the procedure."

He even patted Gu Weijin's shoulder, as if to comfort him but also as if to hint at something, "Old Gu, it's okay, ah!"

"Thank you!" Gu Weijin rarely thanked his old friend seriously.

The last signature was from Su Tingxi. Liu Yufeng was so nervous that her hands were shaking.

With her son around, her mother could accept her old age and step back when things got tough. If Su Tingxi hadn't happened, Liu Yufeng would have shouldered everything, just like she had when she raised her two children.

Su Tingxi hugged his mother and comforted her for a long time. The older he got, the more he realized that his mother was becoming more and more fragile. Sometimes she was like a child and needed his gentle care.

To be honest, everyone knows that this is a minor operation, but they still can't help but feel nervous.

After the operation started, Su Tingxi, his mother, son, and Gu Weijin were waiting outside.

Su Tingxi felt embarrassed. His sister suddenly fell ill and it was Gu Weijin who sent her here. He was busy handling the hospitalization procedures, and he even found the best doctor for a minor appendicitis.

All this has already troubled him a lot, and I feel really bad that he has come all the way here to accompany me today.

"Mr. Gu, thank you!" Men often talk very little to each other, and he didn't know what else to say, so he could only say thank you.

Gu Weijin did not answer, but just shook his head slightly.

Su Tingxi just thought that Gu Weijin was taking the blame for his sister's fall from a horse at the racecourse, after all, it was he who invited them to go horseback riding.

"My sister has a sudden onset of appendicitis, which has nothing to do with horseback riding."

"I know, Professor Su." Gu Weijin was equally reserved. A few years earlier, as a young, inexperienced entrepreneur, he'd enjoyed expressing his opinions on industry matters. As his experience grew and his company expanded, he rarely uttered a single word in public. Gradually, he became less talkative.

As soon as these words were spoken, the conversation between the two men abruptly ended.

Liu Yufeng clasped her hands together and prayed continuously.

In her early years, she had prayed for her husband to overcome difficulties, but that time, the Bodhisattva did not stand by her side and took away Su Tingxi and Su Xiaonian's father. The heart-wrenching pain came back again. If she had the choice, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own life in exchange for the safety of her children and future generations.

"Mom, don't worry, Xiaonian will be fine." Su Tingxi was comforting Liu Yufeng and giving himself confidence.

Su Yuze couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing this, and sobbed in his father's arms, "Dad, is my aunt going to die?"

He listened to every word the doctor had said about the terrible consequences, and he knew they were all very scary.

Su Yuze spoke in a low voice, but all three adults heard it clearly.

Children speak without restraint. The three words "I'm going to die" were like a powerful thunderclap that exploded in the chests of the three adults.

Deeper worries and even greater fears instantly surged into their hearts like a tide, and suffocating tension echoed in the air.

Liu Yufeng's tears were about to fall again, but she saw Gu Weijin came over and handed Liu Yufeng a pack of tissues, "Auntie, Xiaonian is fine."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Auntie, you can just call me Wei Jin."

Su Tingxi's heart trembled violently. He hugged his son tightly and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Xiaoze. Auntie is in good health. She will be fine. The doctor's skills are also very good. We should trust the doctor, right?"

The young man nodded with tears in his eyes.

I left my father's arms and walked over to hug my grandmother, "Grandma, don't cry, your aunt will be out soon."

……

The hospital corridor was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

The white walls and cold lights seem to be telling of the fragility and impermanence of life.

One hour, sixty long minutes, a full three thousand six hundred seconds. Every slight sway of the door would make the waiting people's hearts tighten.

If Gu Weijin had kept count, he would have known that he had not relaxed for a single moment during these 3,600 seconds, even when he had gone to comfort Liu Yufeng.

"The operation is over, everything went well, and you can be wheeled back to the ward after you wake up from anesthesia." When the doctor walked out of the operating room and said this, the four people who had been anxiously waiting breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Tingxi hurriedly told Lan Jia, Yao Yao and Principal Ye the good news.

"Dad, I'm hungry!" A childish voice sounded.

Su Xiaonian hadn't eaten since last night, having to fast for surgery. Su Tingxi and Liu Yufeng were so worried that they had no appetite at all. Su Yuze, worried about his aunt, also had no appetite.

At this moment, these words made the few people who had just relaxed feel hungry.
