The surgery took an exceptionally long time. It lasted for more than ten hours, causing Jiang Jingming and Xie Yiming to feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Their nerves were still tense, but they still did not know what the outcome would be.
"I'm going to have a cigarette. " Jiang Jingming got up somewhat impatiently and turned around to walk to the smoking room.
It was not until he saw her lying on the hospital bed and seeing her being pushed into the operating room that he understood how much time they had missed, the time when they should have been happy.
Xie Yiming also followed her in. His voice was Hoarse as he said slowly, "she has always been very strong. She will get better. "
It was as if he was comforting Jiang Jingming, but it was also as if he was comforting himself.
After he said that, he was silent for a moment. Then, he asked in a soft and uncertain voice, "am I right? "
Jiang Jingming did not say anything. The usually casual man was unusually serious and silent.
Not long after the two of them finished smoking and returned to the corridor, the lights in the operating theater were finally turned off. The two of them quickly stood up to welcome the doctor. Not long after, the doctor came out first.
"How is it? " Jiang Jingming asked in a deep voice. His eyes could not help but look in the direction behind the doctor.
"Don't worry. So far, the surgery seems to be going smoothly. " The doctor took off his mask. His face was also a little pale. It was obvious that he was very tired.
Jiang Jingming was slightly relieved. He only asked softly, "what do you mean by that? "
The doctor said, "the situation is a little more complicated than we expected. We still need two or three more surgeries before we can fully recover. "
Jiang Jingming was stunned for a few seconds. However, he slowly accepted this reality and said softly, "she will get better. "
Not long after, Jiang Chuchu was pushed out of the operating theater. However, she was still unconscious. Her already Pale face had lost all color. It was as if she could not feel pain. She fell asleep quietly.
"The patient still needs to be in the ICU to monitor all the signs of her body. I plan to schedule the next surgery in three days. "
Jiang Jingming looked at her being pushed into the operating theater and slowly said, "okay. "
Until the medical staff had dispersed, Jiang Jingming stood outside the glass of the ICU and looked at the women in there in a daze.
In fact, at that moment, he wanted to say that they had died.
Such a thin and frail woman did not seem like the rose in his memory at all. Just looking at her made him feel an indescribable heartache.
However, he knew that the surgery had to continue. Otherwise, she might not be able to escape the fate of being like her mother or even her grandmother.
In less than half a month, he had two more surgeries in a row. Jiang Jingming had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It was not until the last surgery, when Jiang Chuchu was pushed out, that he slowly stood up. His originally tense nerves had even begun to feel a little numb.
Doctor Qiao said, "so far, the surgery seems to be going smoothly. "However, before this, we basically didn't have any cases of her type of illness being cured, nor have we used this type of surgery before. "So, we still need to observe her condition for a while more. "
"I understand. Thank you. "

The next day, Jiang Chuchu slowly woke up. Because her various signs were still considered normal, she was observed for two days before she was transferred to a normal ward.
When she saw the man guarding the bedside, Jiang Chuchu gently raised her hand and caressed his cheek. She said softly, "you've lost weight. "
Jiang Jingming grabbed her hand and said gently, "you've been asleep for the past few days, and no one has fed me. Naturally, I've lost weight. "
Jiang Chuchu laughed softly. "You've lost weight, and you're so ugly. "
Jiang Jingming moved closer to her lips and gently licked it. He didn't dare to use too much force, as if she was a fragile porcelain doll. "When you're discharged from the hospital, we'll get married. "
