Chapter 326 - 176. We are husband and wife, do I really need your approval to kiss you?_2
Shen Zhimei is not someone who is fussy. Even though her heart is entirely focused on the operating room, leaving no appetite for eating, she knows what she should be doing at this moment.She took the food and politely said, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome," Liu An replied with a nod and then turned to a different direction, "Madam, you should eat something too."
Nan Wan paused for a moment before reaching out to take it, and said softly, "You should go home."
Liu An took a while to react and realized that this was not directed at him.
"No matter how long you stay here, I will be with you," Mu Jin Huan’s voice was gentle and calm.
He didn’t eat any of these things, just took the bread from Nan Wan’s hand, unwrapped the outer packaging, and handed it back to her.
Then he said to Liu An, "Give me the car keys, you can get off work now."
Liu An hurriedly pulled out the car keys from his pocket and handed them over, and before leaving, he took one more look at Mrs. Mu, who was lowering her head without appreciation.
After Mu Jin Huan finished that cup of coffee, half an hour later, the door of the operating room opened, and the chief surgeon Zhao Shaonian removed his surgical mask, weariness from the long procedure evident in his eyes.
Shen Zhimei’s long-distracted gaze found a focus, and she quickly got up and walked to Zhao Shaonian, "How is it?"
Nan Wan’s legs were a bit numb, and she almost fell when she stood up from the chair. Mu Jin Huan’s sharp eyes and quick hands supported her waist, frowning slightly, "Be careful."
All of Nan Wan’s attention was on the doctor. After steadying herself, she didn’t bother to push him away, using the man’s strength to walk to Zhao Shaonian and waiting for his answer.
Zhao Shaonian patted Shen Zhimei’s shoulder to console her, his voice deep, "The surgery was very successful."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhimei and Nan Wan finally felt a weight lifting off their hearts that had been there all day.
Mu Jin Huan stepped forward, holding the woman’s cold hand, his expression steady, and asked the doctor, "When will he wake up?"
Zhao Shaonian paused for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "Every patient’s situation is different, and their strength of will varies. I can’t determine exactly when he will wake up. It could be tomorrow, or it could be next week."
Shen Zhimei politely thanked him.
As long as the surgery was successful, the third brother would wake up, whether it was earlier or later. She had waited this long, so she had enough patience to wait until he opened his eyes.
By the time Mu Jinqian arrived, Nan Ze had already been sent back to the ward, and Dr. Zhao Shaonian had been escorted back to the hotel to rest by the people arranged by Mu Jin Huan.
In the ward, Shen Zhimei was there, while Nan Wan and Mu Jin Huan sat on the bench in the corridor.
Without needing to ask, it was clear they hadn’t eaten anything, "I’ll keep watch here, you two go eat."
Mu Jin Huan responded with a sound, then put his arm around the woman’s shoulder, his voice gentle, "The surgery was very successful, and you only drank a glass of milk tonight. I’ll first take you to eat, and then we’ll come back, hmm?"
Nan Wan’s attention was entirely in the ward, so she didn’t avoid his touch, and her voice was very low, "I want to stay here with my sister-in-law, you go."
At this time, Shen Zhimei opened the door of the room, her small face regained color, gentle and serene, "Wanwan, you should go home and sleep. You have work tomorrow. If you’re here, I’ll be worrying about you."
Mu Jinqian also said, "I’m on night duty and will come by when I’m free, so you don’t need to worry."
The surgery was already over, and now all that could be done was to wait. Whether one person kept watch or ten did, the result wouldn’t be different.
Mu Jin Huan helped the woman to her feet, not asking for her opinion again, and said to Shen Zhimei before leaving, "Call if you need anything."
Shen Zhimei nodded, "Okay, drive carefully."
...
Being forced into the elevator, Nan Wan shook off the man’s hand the moment the elevator doors closed, "I said I want to stay here with the third brother, don’t you understand?"
Mu Jin Huan wasn’t angry. His sharply defined handsome face appeared a touch weary after a long journey, yet it didn’t diminish his charm; instead, it added a hint of languidness.
The corners of his lips lifted in a faint, almost nonexistent smile, as he slowly leaned closer to her.
Nan Wan felt uneasy under his gaze, instinctively retreating until she was backed into the corner of the elevator with nowhere left to go. She then softly said, "You... don’t come any closer."
Mu Jin Huan propped one hand against the elevator wall, encircling the woman’s waist with the other, trapping her between the elevator and his chest.
He slightly lowered his head, his deep black eyes filled with warmth, his voice deliberately low, "Why such a big temper, hmm?"
The man’s warm breath lingered on her skin. Nan Wan pressed her hands against his chest but couldn’t move him, instead disturbing her own breathing.
