”Of course.” Haino Zenji felt the most excited he had ever been in his life.
”Actually, during the time you were gone, I was so scared and helpless, especially having to diagnose and undergo surgery alone. I couldn’t sleep at night, I didn’t know who to tell, and I didn’t want to cause Ai any trouble…” She became more and more sad, eventually breaking into loud sobs.
”There, there! Don’t cry. I’m here now, I won’t leave, I won’t make you chase after me again…” Haino Zenji held her in his arms, continuously whispering comforting words.
This scene was witnessed by Xu Ai, who came to visit. She stood outside the door, silently watching, and finally chose to leave without entering.
As she left, her heart was filled with emotion.
Epilogue Soon, the day of surgery arrived.
That day, they spoke few words. With just a glance or a gesture, they understood each other. Words were superfluous.
Before Andorli was wheeled into the operating room, Haino Zenji’s fingers were tightly intertwined with hers. He believed she would definitely recover and must recover.
Fortunately, the surgery went very smoothly.
A week passed quickly, and finally the day of removing the stitches arrived.
After waking up early, Andorli was overwhelmed by an unprecedented fear. The doctor had told her that the success rate of the surgery was only fifty percent. She hoped heaven would give her the successful half.
Hallelujah! Please give her a bit more good luck!
”Miss Andorli, how are you feeling today? Is the wound okay?”
”Mm, I don’t feel any discomfort.” Andorli said with forced spirit.
”That’s good. The doctor will come to remove your stitches later!” The nurse smiled.
Upon hearing about removing the stitches, Andorli’s mood plummeted, but fortunately, Haino Zenji was always by her side.
As if seeing through her emotions, Haino Zenji’s large hand covered her soft hand, gently saying: “No matter the result of removing the stitches, I will always stay by your side, accompany you, and protect you.”
Andorli turned her head, placing her hands on his face, whispering: “I hope that after removing the stitches, you can greet me with a gentle smile. I don’t want to see your cold expression again.”
Haino Zenji held her in his arms, sighing in her ear: “Believe me, I will change for you.”
”Mm.
At this moment, Dr. Zhang walked in from outside, greeted her, said some comforting words, and then began to remove her bandages.
The heart-stopping moment finally arrived. While removing the bandages, Androli tightly held Hanano Zenji’s hand, as if this could give her immense courage and free her from fear.
“Androli, the bandages are now removed. Slowly open your eyes, slowly open them, yes, take your time──” Dr. Zhang gently reminded her repeatedly.
Under the doctor’s careful guidance, Androli slowly opened her eyes. Initially, the images were blurry, and the indoor light suddenly became dazzling. She slowly adapted, gradually becoming familiar with the surrounding scenery, until she could clearly see Hanano Zenji’s face.
When Hanano Zenji’s handsome and charming face once again clearly entered her pupils, Androli couldn’t help but jump out of bed and tightly embrace his neck.
She knew that this time, she would definitely hold onto her happiness!
