After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

After the surgery, the patient is not immediately taken out of the operating room.

Instead, they need to be kept in the observation room, and only when they regain consciousness will they be released.

After waiting for another half hour, Shen Yao finally saw the caregiver push Gu Tianyou out.

She walked quickly to the man, who was still unconscious, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

The department head called Shen Yao into his office.

This elderly man, who is over sixty years old, is very skilled in respiratory surgery.

This is a renowned expert whom Shen Yao invited back from abroad after making three visits to his humble abode.

He was willing to join Shen Yao's medical team purely because he admired Shen Yao's medical skills and character.

"Dean, don't worry, the surgery was a success. Now we'll see how effective the chemotherapy and targeted therapy are. Remember, you must quit smoking."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director."

Shen Yao looked at the director gratefully, but the director waved his hand.

"You performed my wife's heart surgery last year, and she's recovering very well now. I should be the one thanking you more."

Shen Yao smiled and said, "This is what I should do; it's my duty."

The department head also smiled and said, "Performing surgery for the hospital director is also my duty. You're too kind, director."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the department head, Shen Yao began discussing Gu Tianyou's follow-up treatment plan.

After finalizing the plan, Shen Yao hurriedly returned to the ward and saw that Gu Tianyou had woken up.

Because he had just woken up from surgery, his eyes still looked a little dazed, while Lu Jiajia was cutting fruit next to him.

Shen Yao walked over and gently hugged Lu Jiajia.

"Go ahead and do your thing. Wang Ma will come over to relieve me later, so don't worry."

Lu Jiajia and Shen Yao were friends for many years. She didn't stand on ceremony with Shen Yao, greeted Gu Tianyou, and then turned and left.

Only Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou remained in the ward, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Shen Yao sat on the chair next to the bed, facing Gu Tianyou directly.

She wanted to get some information from the man's eyes.

The man had just undergone surgery and was still weak. His one deep black eye followed Shen Yao.

As their eyes met, Shen Yao was struck by the man's helpless and confused gaze.

She quickly turned her head away from the man.

"Your surgery was successful. You will now undergo chemotherapy and targeted therapy."

"Will I lose my hair?"

Hearing that Gu Tianyou was still so concerned about his hair at this point, Shen Yao couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, long-term use of chemotherapy drugs such as capecitabine tablets and oxaliplatin injections will most likely prevent hair loss, because these drugs cause less damage to hair follicle cells."

Hearing Shen Yao say that, Gu Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Shen Yao had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know where to begin.

She simply stared at the man on the bed, took his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll stay with you. Don't be afraid."

Gu Tianyou stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot.

Time has not left too many marks on this woman.

Instead, she developed a charming aura.

The woman's voice had lost its youthful coolness and gained a touch of warmth.

Gu Tianyou felt the warmth of the woman's hand holding his, and a sense of peace he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Will you really stay with me forever?"

He still didn't quite believe it.

Over the years, if she hadn't forcibly kept the woman by her side, she would have run away long ago.

Shen Yao could see disbelief in the man's eyes.

She gripped the man's hand tighter, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Don't worry, if I say I'll stay with you, I will."

Seeing the determination in the woman's eyes, Gu Tianyou smiled.

He fell asleep again before the anesthesia wore off completely.

Even when he was asleep, he still held Shen Yao's hand tightly.

Shen Yao sat on the edge of the bed and fell asleep because she was too tired.

When Wang Ma came to take over the shift, she was overjoyed to see this scene.

I quickly took out my phone and snapped several photos of their "affectionate" scene.

After taking the photos, Wang Man walked over and gently woke Shen Yao.

"Young mistress, wake up."

Shen Yao opened her sleepy eyes and, seeing Wang Ma, groggily got up.

"Wang Ma, I'm leaving Gu Tianyou in your care. I'm going back to take a nap."

"Go back and get some rest. Uncle Wang is waiting for you in the parking lot."

Seeing that Gu Tianyou was still asleep, and looking at Shen Yao who was so tired she was in a daze, Wang Ma decided to take Shen Yao to the parking lot.

Only after seeing Shen Yao get into Uncle Wang's car did Aunt Wang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's clear that the young mistress is truly exhausted from taking care of the young master.

It was already 9 p.m. when I got home.

As soon as Xiao Haoxuan saw Shen Yao, he rushed over and hugged her.

Shen Yao hugged him and gently stroked his back.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

Five-year-old Haoxuan didn't understand why Gu Tianyou didn't go home with Shen Yao.

Shen Yao patiently explained, "Dad is sick and needs to stay in the hospital for a while. Be a good boy, Haoxuan, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Haoxuan immediately pouted.

"Mom, I miss Dad."

After saying that, he burst into tears.

Shen Yao was a little annoyed; she had been exhausted for two days and two nights.

The child's crying was almost driving her to the brink of collapse.

Uncle Wang came in and quickly took Xiao Haoxuan from Shen Yao's arms.

After Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou got married, in order to better take care of their child, Shen Yao also invited Uncle Wang to Gu Tianyou's manor.

With the help of Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang, Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou were able to relax a lot.

Uncle Wang held Haoxuan and gently coaxed him.

"Young master, Dad is just sick. He'll come home when he's better. In the meantime, you must eat well and sleep well, and don't worry Dad, okay?"

Xiao Haoxuan cried for a while before finally nodding.

"Okay, I'll be a good boy and I'll sleep and eat well."

Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Shen Yao, whose face looked haggard, and said, "Young Madam, you must be tired. Go take a bath and get some rest. Don't worry about the young master, I'm here."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

Shen Yao looked at Uncle Wang with gratitude.

Thinking of her earlier impatience, she reached out and patted Xiao Haoxuan's head.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have vented my bad emotions on you."

Xiao Haoxuan snorted and crossed his arms.

"Then you need to change it."

Shen Yao was both amused and exasperated to see that he was still holding a grudge.

"Okay, okay, Mom will change it."

Xiao Haoxuan was still a little dissatisfied, "Dad, he never gives me a hard time!"

Hearing Xiao Haoxuan mention Gu Tianyou, Shen Yao felt somewhat saddened.

This man is truly more patient and loving towards Haoxuan than he is towards himself.

If he knew that Xiao Haoxuan was not his child.

What would the consequences be?

Should a man kill himself in anger?

Shen Yao felt a chill run down her spine at the thought.
