Han Luo was shivering. She felt so cold that her body was going numb. Her face was deathly pale. She couldn't forget the scene that happened right before her eyes.
When the iron rod was falling from the hospital roof, Tang Yujin shoved her away. Before she could understand anything, she saw Tang Yujin lying in the pool of blood. He was completely motionless.
Everyone who was in the hospital compound heard her scream. Her painful, fearful shriek made their hearts shudder.
Right now, she was sitting in front of the operation theater. Behind the closed doors, the doctors and nurses were working hard to save a precious life.
"Brat!" Noah saw Han Luo sitting all by herself in the cold corridor. He anxiously came closer and sat beside her.
He hugged her shoulder and tried to assure her, "Everything will be all right. Don't worry about anything. Believe in the doctors. They will save him."
"…They weren't… able to save my mommy…" Han Luo whispered.
Just one sentence was enough to make Noah believe that Han Luo didn't think that Tang Yujin would come back alive from there.
Noah didn't know how to comfort her. He didn't hear much about the accident.
When Han Luo's doctor called him, he rushed here. Ma Rui was out of the town. She wouldn't be able to come. Boys were in school. They knew nothing about Tang Yujin's condition.
On the way, Noah called Tang Yujin's house. He hoped people from his house would come before the operation.
"Little girl," a deep voice rumbled.
Noah looked up and saw a tall man around sixty. Half of his hair was white. His lips were tightly sealed. He looked strict. However, he couldn't conceal his worry.
Noah respectfully bowed to him and greeted him, "Elder Tang."
Elder Tang nodded at him and asked, "How is Yujin?"
Noah answered, "The operation is ongoing. We can't say for sure."
"I've talked to the police. They are already investigating it. They concluded that it's attempt murder. Someone had seen a guy with a tattoo on his face. That man probably wanted to kill this little girl but ended up hurting Yujin." Elder Tang clenched his fists. "I swear if anything happens to Yujin, I will-"
Han Luo interrupted him. "It's my fault. I wanted to go out. Big brother Yujin took me. I saw the rod was falling. If I just moved away quickly, big brother Yujin didn't have to get hurt. There was so much blood…"
She covered her face and her whole body trembled.
"Nothing will happen to him. Everything will be fine. Don't worry," Noah did his best to calm her down but it didn't work.
He suggested, "Why don't we wait in your room? You can take rest. When the doctors come out of the room, they will inform us-"
"No! I want to stay here," Han Luo protested. "Last time I fell asleep. When I woke up, they said that my mommy would never wake up again. I won't make the same mistakes. I will stay here."
Noah was helpless. He looked at Elder Tang and said, "Please stay with her. I will ask a nurse to take care of her."
"Very well," Elder Tang agreed.
Noah went to talk to Han Luo's nurse. She commented, "She is a very stubborn patient. She didn't want to move from there and told everyone to leave her alone. She was going out of control and we even thought of giving her tranquilizer. But then, she suddenly became quiet and sat on the chair. She didn't make a fuss and we also decided not to bother her. An emotional breakdown would be bad for her health. I kept an eye on her through the surveillance camera. If anything happens, I will take action."
Noah inquired, "Where is her doctor?"
The nurse answered, "He is currently taking care of another patient. She won't listen to us, so please tell her that we have the best surgeons to take care of the boy of the Tang Family. They are trying their best to save him."
"I will try but I don't think she will listen," Noah sighed.
When Noah came back, the operation had ended and the surgeons stepped out of the operation theater.
Elder Tang stood up. "How's my grandson?"
"Oh, you must be the patient's family. We are so sorry for the sudden accident. We have done our best. The operation is successful. The patient will wake up in three hours," one surgeon announced.
"…Successful?" Han Luo couldn't believe the surgeon but her eyes gleamed with hope.
"You have done your best, dear. Thank you for staying here and waiting for him," the surgeon told her.
Afterward, he looked at Elder Tang and described, "Fortunately, the patient's head wasn't injured but his back was hurt. Some bones broke. It will take two months to recover completely. All he needs is bed rest and proper meals."
"Thank you very much, surgeon," Elder Tang appreciated their hard work.
"It's our pleasure," the surgeon replied.
The nurses came out with a moving bed. Tang Yujin was lying there. His eyes were shut and his face was ashen.
"Big brother Yujin!" Han Luo gasped. She finally stood up with shaky legs.
"Not now. Let them take to his room first," Noah gently reminded her.
"Oh…" Han Luo's eyes didn't leave Tang Yujin for a second.
That evening, Mo Yuan and Han Sheng Ming came to meet Han Luo, and eventually, they heard the news. They first went to see Tang Yujin and found Elder Tang in his room. Tang Yujin's grandfather couldn't leave his grandson.
Han Sheng Ming greeted him and apologized, "I'm sorry, Elder Tang. Because of my sister-"
Elder Tang interrupted him saying, "This isn't little girl's fault. It is the murderer's fault. Yujin did what a human was supposed to do. I'm proud of my grandson. Moreover, he tried to save his future wife.. This is what a man should do for his beloved."
