Chapter 96 - The Wait

Qin Yu looked at the door of the operating theater and kept praying in her heart. She did not relax for even a moment. She was willing to trade her life as long as Ning Chen was safe.

The moment the lights in the operating theater turned off, Qin Yu felt her heart stop beating and her chest in pain.

The door of the operating theater opened. Guan Yue and Uncle Wen immediately went forward to ask the doctor, "Doctor, how was it?"

Qin Yu was afraid to hear what the doctor had to say. She was so nervous that her entire body was trembling.

The doctor took off his mask and heaved a sigh of relief. "The operation was very successful. What happens next will depend on his own fortitude."

Guan Yue and Uncle Wen were confounded. "Wh... what do you mean?"

"If he wakes up in 48 hours, there won't be a problem. If he doesn't, however... " the doctor shook his head.

Qin Yu moved her wheelchair to the doctor and said, "Doctor, is there anything we can do to help him wake up?"

The doctor looked at her and thought for a moment. "Who are you?"

"I'm his wife," Qin Yu answered without hesitation.

The doctor said, "Why don't you spend two hours everyday in the ICU and talk to him. Talk about memorable things or anything that will stimulate him. Not too much though, or you may mess up his memory."

Qin Yu quickly nodded. "Alright! Alright!"

After the doctor left, Guan Yue and Uncle Wen looked at Qin Yu in disbelief.

Chu Nan said, "Xiao Yu and I will stay here. Young Master Guan, why don't you go and look after matters at home?"

Guan Yue was currently in a mess and at his wit's end.

He looked at Qin Yu. "Sister-in-law, can you do it?"

"Go and get what is needed to be done finished. I'll stay by his side."

Chu Nan nodded at Guan Yue.

Guan Yue took a deep breath. Even if Qin Yu could not do it, at least Chu Nan was here.

Indeed there were many things to do. Most importantly, he needed to put on a ruse. Nobody, not even the Ning family, could know about Ning Chen's incident.

After Guan Yue and Uncle Wen left, Chu Nan sat down on a chair at the side. He held Qin Yu's hand that was not tethered to the IV drip and asked gently, "Xiao Yu, tell me what happened?"

It was then Qin Yu finally calmed down as she began retelling what happened.

"Uncle, Lao Zhang is the driver employed by the Shi family for many years. Did you find Shi Xiao? I think she wasn't aware in the beginning. She came to get information from me probably because she was threatened or bribed by Lao Zhang."

Chu Nan nodded. "We killed Lao Zhang on the spot. However, we managed to capture the doctor. Shi Xiao wasn't found among the survivors. It was very likely they came to an agreement and released her."

Chu Nan frowned. "Xiao Yu, you said they were desperately looking for a box? What is it?"

Qin Yu shook her head. "I'm not sure either. They believed that my parents left a box for me. I think there's an obscene amount of money on the box, that's why they were so desperate. I don't know why they would have such thoughts. I don't remember the box at all, not in my memories could I find it. Although, I might be wrong. The drug they gave me made me hallucinate."

Chu Nan's expression was solemn. "Xiao Yu, don't think about this now. The more you think about it, the more confused you'll become. Do you understand? We'll talk about Ning Chen. Tell me, why did you get married? Why didn't you tell us at all? Do you know just how dangerous it is?"

Qin Yu had long known that she would be questioned by Uncle Chu Nan. However, she did not expect the day to come so quickly. In her plan, she would've changed when the day came. She would leave Ning Chen and have a new identity, more than enough to evade Chu Nan's blame.

However, it went out of control.

Chu Nan looked at Qin Yu, who was speechless. He could not help but sigh. "Is Ning Chen treating you well?"

Qin Yu was stunned. Where was the chaos she anticipated?

Did Ning Chen treat her well? Qin Yu could not help but look at the operating theater.

Chu Nan knew full well that if it wasn't the case, why would he take a bullet for her?

Chu Nan sighed. "Xiao Yu, I never thought that you would get married in such a hurry. Even if your parents are no longer around, we, your uncles, will make sure you have the most lavish dowry for your marriage. You will not lose to any bride out there.. But you didn't even have a wedding now. How can I face your parents with this?"
