Qin Shu followed Gu Yan into the operating theatre. The cold gloom that seemed to perfuse the room caused her to flinch.
"... Gu Yan."
Gu Yan, thinking that Qin Shu was afraid, comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'll be by your side."
Hanging in the operating theatre was a thick and heavy curtain. Parked at its side was an assortment of medical equipment. A woman in a white doctor's coat stood waiting for them inside. She looked to be around thirty with a set of non-descript features. She was probably the gynaecologist sent by the hospital to assist Gu Yan.
"Come in. We're good to go. The surgery shouldn't take long. It'll be over before you know it." The gynaecologist soothed.
Qin Shu entered the operating theatre nervously, doing as the doctor instructed.
The doctor drew the curtain as soon as Qin Shu was on the operating table. The curtain was all that separated Gu Yan from the gynaecologist and Qin Shu.
