We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Su Jun rushed over, his heart filled with worry for his son. He kept recalling Su Weile's pale face and staggering steps on the phone.

After that, Su Weile's phone was always unreachable, and eventually it was simply turned off.

Upon arriving in Jinhai, Su Jun went straight to Jinhai City General Hospital, thinking that Su Weile should be there. He remembered Su Weile mentioning that Yan Zhengke was Tang Shaowu's childhood friend.

Upon arriving at the operating room of the general hospital, as soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Jun felt as if he had been transported back to the past. The pain of losing his beloved once again overwhelmed this man.

The Soviet troops arrived at the electronic broadcast screen in the operating building, which displayed information about all the surgeries currently in progress throughout the building.

Sure enough, I saw it in the first position:

Patient: Tang Shaowu; Surgical procedure: Minimally invasive surgery for intracranial tumor; Surgeon: Yan Zhengke, Hans (foreign joint surgeon); Surgery time: 13 hours and 30 minutes.

While Su Jun was still in a daze, someone behind him said, "Oh dear, Director Yan has surgery today. How lucky! He gets to perform the surgery on us."

"Yes, he's mostly focused on research now, and it's getting harder and harder to schedule surgeries with him. This surgery looks really tricky; it's been over ten hours already."

The Soviet soldier hurriedly searched for his son in the huge waiting hall.

Finally, on the other side of the corridor, next to the doctor's office, I saw Su Weile.

Su Weile sat quietly, without moving.

The Soviet soldiers' hearts clenched immediately.

Feng Kai sat down next to Su Weile and said softly, "Xiao Le, let's get up and stretch a bit. How about I take you to get something to eat first?"

Su Weile pursed her lips and said, "Brother Kai, you go eat. I'm not hungry right now."

Feng Kai sighed.

Zhou Xiaoman came out of the doctors' lounge in the corridor, carrying a glass of warm water and a neck massager.

"Xiao Le, have some water. And this, wear it, it'll help you relax."

Su Jun slowly walked up to Su Weile and softly called out, "Lele!"

Su Weile slowly raised her head to look at her father.

Tears streamed down her face like a small river. "Dad, why isn't Tang Shaowu coming out yet?"

Su Jun's tears also flowed down his face, and he squeezed his son's shoulder hard.

"Lele, you silly child, why are you so silly!"

Feng Kai and Zhou Xiaoman suppressed their sadness and invited Su Jun to sit down. Then they made an excuse to buy some food, leaving the father and son alone.

A few minutes later, Su Weile looked at the screen in the distance.

"My mother had surgery for three hours and then left us."

Dad, those three hours felt like three days. I thought they were the longest three hours I've ever experienced.

But, but it's been thirteen hours now, Dad, I really, really can't hold on any longer."

With red eyes, Su Jun said fiercely, "We have to hold on, even if we can't. Are we going to fall before the results are even out? Huh?"

"Dad, I... I only realized today that I was really stupid. Tang Shaowu had been taking care of me and coaxing me into managing his company's affairs."

They took me with them no matter what, which made me known to the executives at Jinhai and Jiangcheng.

Recently, they even said that I can report anything directly to them.

Actually, he had planned it all out long ago. If he really was going to leave, he would leave everything to me. He had been paving the way for me all along. Only I was foolishly unaware of it.

I was so stupid. That night I told him that he had to listen to me from now on, and that I was in charge of the treatment.

He went along with it and said, "Okay, whatever you say. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract tomorrow."

The result... the next day, the lawyer brought over a huge stack of contracts.

How could it be prepared in just one night? He clearly had it prepared long ago.

I was so happy because he had agreed to have the surgery that I didn't notice anything else.

After signing the contract, he... also told me that the company is now like a driverless car, it's been fine-tuned and can run normally on its own. All I need to do is observe from the driver's seat and occasionally adjust the direction.

But if you still find it boring, then get out of the car and let it drive itself, or simply sell it and play with airplanes, jet skis, do whatever you want—just be happy. Always be a happy little prince.

The last person who made me happy forever was my mother, and now it's Tang Shaowu, but they're both gone. How can I be happy?

How can I be happy?

Su Weile's Adam's apple bobbed rapidly a few times before she spoke softly:

"Dad, when Mom passed away, Grandma said that you continued to live a good life because of me."

Dad, thank you so much. I only realized today how difficult this was.

But, Dad, I think I might really not be as good as you; I can't do it.

Su Jun's heart leaped into his throat. He heard Su Weile say numbly, "Dad, please forgive me. I can't do it. If Tang Shaowu really leaves, I really can't go on living. Dad... Dad, I'm sorry."

Su Jun felt a panic he had never experienced before. Trembling, he said, "Su Weile, are you out of your mind? You may not have your own child, but you have a father, grandparents, and you don't want us anymore? Huh?"

Su Weile suddenly felt a tearing pain, as if his body was being ripped apart. He pressed his fist hard against his heart, but his eyes remained fixed on the large screen, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain:

"Dad, I'm sorry. But, it really...it really hurts so much."

Looking at his son, whom he had never seen like this before, Su Jun couldn't utter a single word. He squeezed Su Weile's shoulder tightly, "Son, be strong!"

-------------------------

When the large screen displayed 15 hours and 29 minutes, the red light suddenly turned green, indicating "Surgery Completed".

Su Weile jumped up, only to realize that she had been sitting for too long and could no longer stand steadily.

Zhou Xiaoman and Feng Kai immediately tensed up.

The voice from the broadcast then rang out.

"Operating Room Number One, surgery complete. Tang Shaowu's family members, please wait for the patient at the operating room door."

As the operating room door slowly opened, the rhythmic sound of footsteps and the rolling of the operating table wheels drifted from afar.

The people at the door held their breath in tension.

Finally, Yan Zhengke and his team appeared in everyone's sight.

Just like every time Zhou Xiaoman was there, Su Weile saw Yan Zhengke's gaze first find Zhou Xiaoman, and then he saw only the eyes that were visible outside, and he smiled slightly at Zhou Xiaoman.

At that moment, Su Weile got goosebumps all over her body, as if she had that faint sixth sense just before the lottery draw.

Yan Zhengke finally stood before her. Su Weile felt his words playing in slow motion in her mind, each word spoken clearly.

"The surgery was a success. From now on, Tang Shaowu will be with you for the rest of your life."

Su Weile felt as if the sentence had been slowed down countless times, and it kept echoing in her mind.

He seemed to vaguely hear Feng Kai clapping and Zhou Xiaoman excitedly saying, "Lele, that's great!"

But the sounds seemed very distant. He just stared straight ahead, watching the doctors in the operating room slowly push Tang Shaowu over.

At this moment, Su Weile truly felt that he had been resurrected along with Tang Shaowu.
