A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

In this week, Zhou An and Lin Jiaojiao talked on the phone several times, and her state on the phone was okay, revealing a little open-mindedness, but at the end of each call, she would mention her daughter, and Zhou An could feel that she couldn't let go of her daughter the most.

The last call was a day ago.

At the end of the call, she once again told Zhou An that he didn't have to go to the capital to accompany her for surgery, and once again mentioned that he would have time to see his daughter.

Zhou An agreed, but he didn't really listen to her this time, that afternoon, he and Liang Yu boarded the plane to the capital, he really couldn't stand the torment of waiting for the results of the operation in Liugu City, he wanted to go outside the operating room, the first time to know whether her operation was successful or not.

In order not to affect her mood before the operation, Zhou An, who came to the capital that day, did not go to the hospital to see her, but only told Julie on the phone and asked Julie to keep it secret for him.

On the day of the operation, he received a call from Julie and learned that Lin Jiaojiao had been pushed into the operating room, so he and Liang Yu hurried to the hospital and came to the waiting area outside the operating room.

Lin Zhongda, Yan Xihua, Zhu Li, Yan Dongxu, and Yan Lingling were all waiting in the waiting area, it turned out that not only he and Liang Yu came here today, but Yan Dongxu and Yan Lingling also rushed here from Liugu City.

Seeing Zhou An and Liang Yu appear, except for Julie, who had already gotten the news, Lin Zhongda and others were very surprised.

Yan Xihua turned his face to look at him, very surprised, "Xiao Zhou, why are you here?"

Lin Zhongda, Yan Dongxu, and Yan Lingling also looked at it in surprise.

Zhou An slowed down, looked at the door of the operating room with the "Operation" light sign, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and replied: "I heard that Sister Lin had surgery today, and she happened to be not busy recently, so I came over to take a look!"

In fact, he has been very busy lately, with two new branches already in the pipeline, and there are a lot of things going on.

But Lin Zhongda and others didn't know, so they believed his statement.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhou!"

Lin Zhongda laughed far-fetchedly, and didn't get up to greet him, probably because he wasn't in that mood!

The same is true for Yan Xihua.

Only Yan Dongxu got up to greet him, patted Zhou An on the shoulder, and whispered: "Xiao Zhou, you have a heart! Just find a place to sit! I don't know when the operation will end, my sister and my brother-in-law are probably not in the mood to entertain you today, you can take care of it!"

Zhou An waved his hand, "It's okay! President Yan, you are too polite, I am also here to wait for the results of the operation, you can sit down too!"

……

Time passes slowly like quicksand.

Usually it feels like a little time has passed in the past, but this morning seems to be a long time for Zhou An and the others who are waiting outside the operating room.

Everyone's faces were very solemn, including Yan Lingling, who had always had a detached personality, was also extremely quiet today, and there was no smile on her face, and she looked up from time to time at the door of the operating room not far away.

Everyone sat on the bench in the waiting area in different postures, Lin Zhongda crossed his hands on his laps, frowned, leaned forward slightly, and glanced sideways at the door of the operating room from time to time.

Yan Xihua covered her face with her hands most of the time, her elbows on her legs, and no one could see her expression.

Yan Dongxu leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair expressionlessly, his left leg resting on his right leg for a while, and then changing his right leg on his left leg for a while, changing his legs frequently, revealing his inner uneasiness.

Yan Lingling lowered her head and swiped her mobile phone, as if she was playing a mobile game, but Zhou An noticed that her hands pressed wildly on the mobile phone buttons from time to time, and her two delicate eyebrows were also tightly wrinkled, and the nervousness in her eyes when she looked at the door of the operating room from time to time was much more obvious than that of Lin Zhongda and Yan Dongxu.

As for Julie?

She didn't sit, today she wore a red, yellow and blue collarless jacket on her upper body, a pair of jeans with wide hips, and a pair of red sneakers on her feet, she frowned slightly and leaned against the wall by the window, her half-squinted eyes never left the door of the operating room.

Zhou An himself is not much better, he has tried his best to keep his calm, afraid that his uneasiness will be transmitted to others and increase everyone's nervousness, but some subconscious small actions are still inevitable.

For example, raising your hand to support your forehead, rubbing your temples with your thumb, pursing your lips from time to time, or occasionally subconsciously adjusting your sitting posture.

After being reborn, he felt the impermanence of life for the first time.

Yesterday afternoon, he was still talking to Lin Jiaojiao on the phone, and he also knew that Lin Jiaojiao was in the operating room behind the gate at this time, but he couldn't be sure that when the door opened and Lin Jiaojiao pushed out of it, he was still alive.

The surgery started at 8:30 a.m.

At 9 o'clock, the operation was still going on, and Zhou An and the others felt normal and waited patiently.

At half past nine, the door of the operating room opened, and a white-clothed nurse hurriedly came out with a tray.

But the nurse was obviously in a hurry to get something, her steps were hurried, and her tone was a little rushed, "The operation is still ongoing, don't ask me anything now, don't get in my way, okay?" I need to get something, hurry up......"

So, no matter how anxious everyone is, they can only get out of the way.

At half past 10 o'clock, the door of the operating room was still closed, so far, two hours of operation had passed, and it was not over, Yan Xihua couldn't hold his breath, his eyebrows were locked, and after getting up, his hands were twisted together, walking around uneasily, his anxious eyes frequently looked at the operating room, and his hands were twisted together, and he trembled as if he was praying from time to time.

Even Lin Zhongda and Yan Dongxu's expressions became very solemn, and they swallowed saliva from time to time, and Lin Zhongda's face turned even more faintly pale.

After more than ten minutes, Yan Lingling couldn't stand the atmosphere here, suddenly got up, whispered a sentence: "I'm going to pee!", and hurried to the bathroom.

Zhou An's head was also sinking, and he gritted his teeth from time to time, trying to keep calm, but the constant sweat in his palms reminded him of the uneasiness in his heart.

He subconsciously glanced at Julie who was leaning against the window, and found that her eyes had closed somehow, as if she had been sleepy and asleep because she had waited too long.

But looking closely, Zhou An found that the lines of her face were very tight, not at all like the relaxed state after falling asleep.

11 o'clock, 11:30 o'clock, 12 o'clock......

Seeing that lunch time was over, the door of the operating room was still not open, except for the occasional nurse who came out to pick up something hurriedly in and out.

Every time, Lin Zhongda, Yan Xihua and others ran over to ask something.

But every time, he was coldly rejected by the nurse who was in a hurry.

It wasn't until about 12:40 that the light sign above the operating room suddenly went out, and then the door opened, and a doctor and nurse came out together.
