Leaving the scene of the car accident, Lin Mo headed back to the hospital and first visited the director’s office.

Today, Song Xuyan had called him many times concerning the day’s expert medical consultation, the timing of the second surgery for his parents, and the subsequent treatment plan.

Lin Mo felt these matters were too technical for him to contribute any meaningful suggestions, even if he had been present. Therefore, he didn’t blindly follow along. As someone unknowledgeable in the field, he preferred to focus on investigating the car accident, a matter of equal importance, to shake off the unbearable feeling of being constantly shrouded in danger.

“Director Song, 1 am back.”

Lin Mo spoke.

Just as he walked into the director’s office, Song Xuyan, who was fully concentrated on perfecting the treatment plan, quickly stood up. With an eager and flattering expression, he said, “Mr. Lin, your timing is perfect. This is the fruit of today’s labor. Please take a look while I explain.”

“Mm, thank you for your hard work.” Lin Mo nodded, sat down, and began to review the documents.

He didn’t understand those overly technical medical terms, but fortunately, with Song Xuyan translating and explaining, he could grasp the gist of it.

To summarize, his father, Lin Changshui’s main issue was now the high-level cerebral function damage caused by acute brain injury, harming a large number of brain cells, along with accompanying chest trauma, rib fractures, sternum fractures, and various other injuries.

If the coma persisted for an extended period, it might lead to permanent brain damage.

However, the good news was that today, after a multi-disciplinary expert consultation and a second surgery, Lin Changshui’s condition had significantly improved.

Song Xuyan explained in layman’s terms, “Mr. Lin, today’s surgery mainly involved repairing the dura mater to minimize the chances of intracranial infection and epilepsy, and a drainage tube was placed outside the dura mater.” “I performed the surgery in the neurological division, and the best chief physician from Fudan University Affiliated Hospital took charge of the neurological surgery.”

“Without exaggeration, this surgery represents the highest medical standards in neurology and neurosurgery in Rakshasa City, even in Huaxia, at this time.” “After our final assessment, and following the second phase of the surgery, we conservatively estimate at least a 20% increase in your father’s chances of regaining consciousness.”

Lin Mo didn’t understand the professional jargon, but he clearly remembered that the attending physician had previously told him his father’s chances of waking up were less than 5%.

This was the power of top-tier medical resources! Not something ordinary doctors could match!

No wonder why most people, even if the price is very high, still grit their teeth and choose appointments with some specialist professors.

They truly make a difference.

However, the experts that ordinary folks can book are still slightly inferior within the realm of specialists. It’s very difficult for the general public to have access to the real giants of the medical field.

Then, Song Xuyan also briefed Lin Mo on the conditions of Xu Qin, Lin Siyu, and Zhang Li.

With the involvement of a host of top medical experts, the second surgeries for Xu Qin and Lin Siyu were also very successful, and they would greatly speed up their recovery.

However, Zhang Li didn’t need surgery at the moment, not because he was not a relative of Lin Mo, but because each person’s physique and injuries are different. For Zhang Li, his condition was relatively good, and letting his body repair itself, along with the treatment of top-notch medications, was the best course of treatment.

After all, any surgery carries risks, and surgery significantly drains one’s vitality. If it can be avoided, it is best to do so.

Having learned the detailed situations of his family members, Lin Mo asked Song Xuyan if anyone had come today to inquire about his relatives.

Song Xuyan earnestly shook his head and told Lin Mo there was no such news.

If there was any, he would inform him immediately.

“At least everything is getting better.”

After stepping out of the director’s office, Lin Mo’s tense mood since the bad news arrived the day before finally eased slightly. He took the elevator and returned to special room No. 8.

But as soon as he entered, Lin Mo was startled by the sight before him.

In the northwestern corner of the living room, a statue of Lord Guan in green robes over a meter tall had appeared at some unimown time.

His father-in-law, mother-in-law, Li Jinwen, and even Lin Xiaoxiao—all were neatly kneeling in front of the statue of Lord Guan, hands pressed together, their mouths devoutly chanting something.

At first glance, it looked like they were performing some kind of ritual.

Seeing Lin Mo return, his mother-in-law Zhao Huixian, who was holding a string of Buddhist beads, motioned with her hand and said softly, “Mo, come over here quickly.”

Li Jinwen, Lin Xiaoxiao, and his father-in-law Li Jinshan also turned their heads to look.

What was this all about?

Confused, Lin Mo walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”

Zhao Huixian passed a string of Buddhist beads to Lin Mo, her expression filled with concern as she said, “These were sought by your Aunt Lingling at my request. It’s a custom from our hometown.”

“With the grace of Lord Guan in the green robe, every difficulty shall be overcome!”

“It signifies that our family’s loved ones will awaken soon, and that Siyu and that young man will also be safe and sound.”

“You have no idea how miraculous Lord Guan in the green robe is. Just after we set it up, the surgeries for your parents-in-law and Siyu went exceptionally smoothly today, and the director even said they would wake up soon!” “I plan to pray for two hours every day for your parents-in-law until they wake.”

Lin Mo never believed in these things.

But seeing everyone praying so devoutly for his parents and sister, his heart was still deeply moved.

“Um… then I’ll join too.”

Lin Mo took the prayer beads passed to him by his mother-in-law, and although he never believed in these things, during such times, it didn’t matter what anyone believed. He took a deep breath and knelt in front of the statue of Lord Guan.

“Honey, have you had dinner?” Li Jinwen asked.

“Yeah, I grabbed something casual outside,” Lin Mo nodded.

Lin Xiaoxiao also came over and said very seriously, “Dad, grandma says that if 1 sincerely pray a thousand times for grandpa, grandma, aunt, and Uncle Zhang, then they will all wake up!”

Lin Mo touched his daughter’s little head and managed to squeeze out a somewhat ugly smile. He nodded slightly and said softly to Lin Xiaoxiao, “Yes, Xiaoxiao is such a good girl. Let’s pray together for grandpa, grandma, aunt, and Uncle Zhang. We’ll pray a thousand times and wish for them to wake up soon.”

“Mmm!”

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.

Li Jinwen glanced at Lin Mo.

She knew that Lin Mo didn’t believe in these things, and in fact, she didn’t either, but at this time, all they could do was to pray devoutly and hope the deity would show his presence.

Not long after, her mother-in-law got up first and told everyone, “Alright, that’s enough for today. Lord Guan has already heard our voices. It’s late now, and everyone should get some rest. We’ll continue tomorrow with fresh spirits!”

Lin Mo helped Li Jinwen up and reminded her softly, “Wife, take care of yourself. Your body isn’t suitable for kneeling for such a long time.” Li Jinwen and Lin Mo sat down on the nearby sofa. “It’s okay… I’m not tired. I know you’re worried about me, and 1 know that this may be completely useless and just superstition, but if I don’t do anything, I’ll feel even worse… What if, just what if there really are divine beings in this world who happen to hear my prayers…”

“Um…”

Lin Mo nodded, not saying anything else.

He understood Li Jinwen’s feelings.

“Xiaoxiao, that’s enough. Come on up. Grandma is going to wash your face so you can go to sleep early.”

“Grandma, you go first, don’t worry about me. I’m going to say a few more prayers for grandpa, grandma, and aunt,” Xiaoxiao responded.

In front of the green-robed statue of Lord Guan, Lin Xiaoxiao still refused to get up.

Seeing this, Lin Mo’s heart slightly ached, and he called out, “Mom, let her be. I will wash her face later. You go rest.”

The child didn’t understand what superstition was; she only knew that if praying like this could truly help her grandparents and aunt, then she would pray a little longer.

Two hours later.

The family members had all gone to bed one after another.

It was also approaching the wee hours of the morning.

All was silent.

The head nurse and attendants had left the ward to rest.

Of course, should Lin Mo and his family need anything, they would immediately come over.

Lin Mo sat in the dark living room, quietly waiting for intelligence to arrive. He had wanted to light a cigarette, but considering that this was a hospital, he decided against it.

Leaning on the sofa, Lin Mo’s eyes were half-closed, continuously rotating through the prayer beads in his hand.

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
