Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 716 - 713: If He Wants to Die, I’ll Accompany Him on His Journey
The couple waited at the door of the operating room for what felt like an eternity.
Li Yan was the first to come out of the operating room. Seeing Lu Jinyang, he showed a knowing smile, "Fortunately, I didn’t let you down."
Xiao Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Was the surgery successful?"
"Yes, very successful. He can’t eat anything for the next few days. Once he has recovered, he needs to pay attention to his diet until his stomach grows back to its original size before we can consider him fully recovered."
"That’s great!" Xiao Qing tugged at Lu Jinyang’s expressionless face, "This is wonderful, Gu Li will definitely be even happier than us when he hears about this."
After she finished speaking, Lu Jinyang didn’t respond at all. She became a little worried and tugged at his hand, noticing it was clenched into a fist. She frowned, pried open his fist to hold his palm, and then realized his palm was full of sweat.
Xiao Qing had never seen Lu Jinyang this nervous before. Only at this moment did she realize that this is how Lu Jinyang looked when he was tense.
Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Dean Li, have you seen Gu Li?"
Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Dean Li, have you seen Gu Li?"
"Gu Li? I saw her last night. Why, haven’t you seen her?"
Xiao Qing shook her head, about to speak, when she saw Gu Chen being wheeled out. Without another word, Lu Jinyang let go of her hand and approached, his jaw clenched tight from her perspective.
She said to Li Yan, "We’ll talk later."
Li Yan glanced behind him and nodded, not asking further.
"Li Yan, why hasn’t he woken up yet?"
Li Yan walked over helplessly, "President Lu, he’s under general anesthesia; it won’t wear off that quickly."
"How much longer will it take?"
"Within an hour. However, I suggest you find someone soon to stay with him. He will need someone by his side to look after him in the following days."
Lu Jinyang hummed softly in agreement.
Back in the hospital room, after Li Yan had carried out all the necessary checks and confirmed that Gu Chen wouldn’t wake up any time soon, he asked, "So, you really haven’t seen Gu Li?"
"Yeah." Xiao Qing replied, "Should I give her a call?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Li Yan was about to nod when suddenly something occurred to him. With a frown, he said, "I remember the surgery form today was signed by Gu Li. She should have come by this morning."
"That’s strange," Xiao Qing murmured thoughtfully.
She didn’t know Gu Li very well, so she didn’t have any idea what Gu Li was thinking at this moment.
"Maybe I still should make that call, just in case..."
"What are you talking about?"
A weak voice came through, interrupting Xiao Qing. She turned in alarm to meet Gu Chen’s puzzled gaze.
"Who are you planning to call?"
Xiao Qing inwardly cursed their bad luck. If Gu Chen found out now that Gu Li hadn’t shown up, would it negatively impact his recovery?
She looked towards Li Yan, who returned a helpless expression.
"Lie down and don’t move!"
From behind them, Lu Jinyang spoke sharply, startling them as they immediately turned around.
All they could see was Gu Chen trying to prop himself up to sit, but Lu Jinyang pushed him back down onto the bed forcefully, a sight that sent shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it.
Gu Chen let out a muffled groan, his already pale face turning even whiter.
"Lu Jinyang, have you lost your mind!" Xiao Qing, seeing Lu Jinyang reaching out to Gu Chen again, ran up in three steps, grabbing hold of his hand to stop him, "He’s just had surgery, how can you be so violent towards him, this is murder!"
To her shock, Lu Jinyang merely gave her a cold glance, his voice filled with a chilling intent, "If he doesn’t want to live, I’ll help him on his way."
