The waiting was lengthy, torturous...
When the operating room door swung open, it was as if a glimmer of dawn had emerged amid the despairing darkness for Wen Ran. She bolted upright out of her chair.
Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai also got up quickly. Wen Ran dashed over and grabbed Gu Kai's hand. "Older Brother Gu, how is Xiaoxiao?"
After several hours of surgery, Gu Kai looked weary, despite the chill in the air, his clothing was scanty and a sheen of sweat covered his forehead.
"Ranran, Bai Xiaoxiao is no longer in mortal danger, but her injuries are severe. She will not regain consciousness for at least a couple of days."
He relayed the result of the rescue in a detached manner. He mentioned nothing about the agonizing procedure. Initially, a glint of joy flickered in Wen Ran's eyes only to be immediately drowned in a sea of sorrow.
