Han Yuan was shocked. There was no time to think as he immediately drove to the hospital.

A few days ago when he went to the hospital to visit his father, he was fine.

Not long after, Han Yuan received another call from his brother, Han Jin. Han Jin said that he had arrived at the hospital and his father was in the middle of rescuing him, telling him to drive slower.

Han Yuan was even more anxious as he rushed to the hospital at his fastest speed after running two red lights consecutively.

When he got to the door of the operation room, Han Yuan saw his younger brother standing in front of the door with his mother in his arms.

Mom's white hair stood out in the light.

For the first time, Han Yuan realized how old his mother really was.

During the period of time my father was hospitalized, my mother had suffered the most.

The two brothers only came to visit once every few days, but Mom insisted on accompanying Dad every day.

Although there was a nurse with special care, Mom said she was afraid that Dad would be lonely, so she came over to talk to him and bring him fresh fruits.

This was a young couple that came together all the time!

"Mom —" Han Yuan walked over and put his arm around Mom's shoulder. "Daddy is fine!"

"The doctor said that the complications were more serious this time--" Mom said sadly. "I hope your dad can make it out--"

"Yes, mother. Don't worry!" Han Yuan comforted her.

Dad was an engineer when he was young, and he worked in the dark, damp tunnels all year round.

When he was old, his problems came out. He was in so much pain from rheumatoid arthritis that he couldn't walk, had a bad heart, had bypass surgery, had lung problems, and was full of illnesses.

He had been in hospital frequently for the past year, so he decided to stay in the hospital for a long period of time.

He was also scrawny, and the sight of him made one's heart ache.

Han asked his mother to sit on the chair, then motioned Han Yuan to go to the corner of the stairs and talk.

The two brothers came to the corner of the stairwell.

"What did the doctor say?" Han Yuan asked.

"The doctor said Dad's condition isn't too good and he might not be able to hold on for long, so we should be prepared. "I think we should call Han Jiao back as soon as possible so that she can see dad one last time. If we're too late, we won't have the chance —" Han Qian said.

"Is it really that serious?" Han Yuan could not believe it. His spirit had been pretty good two days ago!

"Bro, you're the boss, you have to make the decision —" Han Qian continued, "Han Jiao is in Canada, and she can't just go back. We told her in advance to come back as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Han Yuan nodded. "What do you think, Mom?"

"I didn't dare to tell Mommy —" Han Qian said. "I secretly asked the doctor —"

"Alright, let's see the results of tonight's operation. If dad can make it through, then Han Jiao will come back to visit. She hasn't come back for a year," Han Yuan said.

"Bro, the doctor said to ask the family to accompany us every day, and to watch the night as well —" Han Jin said, "Let's take turns. Mom is too old, so we can't stay in the hospital overnight."

"Alright, no problem. If you are busy with work, I can keep watch by myself." Han Yuan said.

His younger brother was now someone with a certain position and a better future than him. Han Yuan did not want to interfere with his brother's work.

"That won't do, it's too much work for one person, it would be better if we took turns. This is the advantage of having brothers and sisters. In the future, since we only have one child, we don't know what to do. " Han Qian sighed.

Let's talk about the future for now. Let's get over this first. Han Yuan thought.

Who could be better than an only child?

This is not a problem that a single person has to face, but a big problem that society as a whole will have to face.

Three hours later, the operation was over.

The doctor said the operation was successful, and now it all depends on the patient's willpower. After all, he was old and in poor health. He hoped that his family was well-prepared.

When her mother heard this, tears began to flow down her face.

Dad was sent to the ICU. If he could survive the dangerous period and wake up, he would be able to stay alive for a period of time.

"Old Han, you have to hold on. The children and I will wait for you to come out." The mother held her father's bony hand and choked with sobs. "You promised me that you can't leave before me, Old Han!"

Han Yuan also shook his father's hand. His hand, which was so thin that only bones remained, seemed to be belching in the middle of his palm. It really made one's heart ache for him.

"Dad, you'll definitely make it through this. We'll wait for you to wake up!" Han Yuan said.

Han Jin couldn't help but cry. He was his youngest son and his father really cared for him. Thinking about how his father might not be able to wake up now, he couldn't take it anymore.

Han Yuan patted Han Qian's shoulder. He also felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't cry. He was the eldest son, so he was the one who had to support this family.

Han Yuan first sent his mother home to sleep, then stayed with Han Qian at the hospital.

Tonight was the hardest.

After sending his mother home, Han Yuan returned to the hospital and remembered that he should call home and tell Gu Yan that he couldn't send Han Hong to school tomorrow.

However, it was already past 12 pm, so he couldn't make any calls. He would try again in the morning.

The two brothers set up a folding chair in the hospital hallway and slept together for a while.

After dawn, Han Yuan called his home and rang for a long time before answering.

It was Han Hong's voice.

"Dad!" Han Hong shouted. "Why didn't you go home last night?"

"Daddy's in the hospital. Grandpa had surgery last night, so I can't go back. Let mom take you to school, okay?"

"Alright!" "Goodbye, Daddy!"

His son was very sensible, Han Yuan felt slightly gratified.

He felt that when he was in his middle age, his career would go through a huge change and he might end up like this for the rest of his life. Right now, he was counting on his son's future prospects.

It was time for work to start. Han Yuan and Han Jin both applied for leave, so they had to wait until dad woke up.

Mom came and brought breakfast for the two of them.

I could tell that my mother had not slept all night and was very tired.

At noon, Han Qian's wife came and brought their mother, San, for lunch.

During dinner, Han Jin couldn't help but ask Han Yuan, "Bro, you didn't tell Sister-in-law about dad?"

Han Yuan shook his head. "She should know, but she might not come."

"What happened to you?" Han Qian asked, thinking back to his mother's birthday and his sister-in-law's absence. He felt that something must have gone wrong between brother and sister-in-law.

"I don't know what's going on either. Seems like I have been struck by a ghost. I am unable to find the direction nor the reason behind it! " Han Yuan said helplessly, "This woman is too unpredictable!"

"Brother, sister-in-law has good conditions and has always been arrogant. You must coax her more —"

Han Yuan smiled bitterly. "It's no longer a question of coaxing!" Let's not talk about her. She won't come even if she wants to! "

As he was speaking, the doctor came out to inform him, "The patient has woken up!"

The whole family was finally relieved, especially Han Yuan's mother, who cried tears of joy!

"Old man, you finally made it!" Mom said excitedly.

From that day onwards, Han Yuan started to run around the hospital. He had to report to the office every day that he had something important to attend to, so he had to go home and cook for his son before going to the hospital to stay vigil.

In the past two weeks, he had lost weight.

Thankfully, father's condition had improved, and he had returned to the ordinary ward, able to eat on his own.

Han Jiao came back from Canada alone, stayed for two weeks, served her father in the hospital for two weeks, and spent the night at home with her mother.

Two weeks later, she had to go back. The two children needed to be taken care of, and there was still a lot of work waiting for her. She couldn't stay in the country for long.

When Han Jiao left, her mother was very sad, but she didn't dare to say how much she wished her daughter could return to her side!

In the early nineties, when the tide outside the country swept Han Jiao away to Canada, mother was now regretting it so much that she died! It was not easy to meet someone from far away! Maybe one day she would walk away with her eyes closed. Her daughter wouldn't even have the chance to take a last look at her!

This was also the reason why his mother wanted Han Yuan to return to his hometown.

Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June. The children had their summer vacation, and the various universities had also welcomed their graduation season.

Haizhou Newspaper Group's recruitment for the new year went on like wildfire. The scholars from various famous universities all rushed to Haizhou Newspaper Industry.

What Han Yuan did not expect was that Old Yang did not make things difficult for Ma Xin Jun's nephew, Lin Xiong, but allowed him to enter smoothly!

For this, Han Yuan gave Old Yang a pound of the best Da Hong Pao.

"Brother Yang, the chief editor's office meeting has started, right?" Han Yuan asked.

Every year, the new recruits would be finally accepted by the office meeting of the chief editor, accepted, and distributed to the various subreports.

Han Yuan was extremely concerned about Lin Xiong's whereabouts. You could have asked Mori, but he was away on a European expedition. Furthermore, Mo Liqun was in charge of operations. As for recruiting talent, he would usually not interfere.

"It's open. The documents were just released." Old Yang said before giving Han Yuan a meaningful look. "Lin Xiong has been assigned to the daily newspaper. There will be a great development in the future!"

"To the daily papers?" Han Yuan immediately felt that something was amiss. That was the world of the Simplified Martial Arts. If he knew that Lin Xiong was related to him, wouldn't that be courting death and making things difficult for him?

"The daily newspaper can train people!" Old Yang continued, "This is a high priority for him!"

How could this crucial point be overlooked? He should have greeted Mo Liqun in advance! Even if Mo Liqun didn't care about this matter, he could still infiltrate it through the other chief editors.

Han Yuan felt uneasy as he wondered if this was something that Jian Zhenwu had intentionally arranged.

Jian Zhenwu was the director of the news department in the daily newspaper. He named who he wanted to go to, and the editors would usually pay for him.

In the poster group, the daily newspaper is not the best, but the highest.

Could it be that Old Yang and Jian Zhenwu were conspiring against him?

Although Han Yuan did not mention the relationship between Lin Xiong and him, these old foxes definitely understood.

This guess flashed across Han Yuan's mind, but he denied it. Why did Old Yang want to collude with Jian Zhenwu? He felt that it was unlikely.

The daily newspaper had the advantage of being able to have a positive contact with the main figures of the political world. This was beneficial for one's growth, especially for a young person like Lin Xiong.

On the first of July, the newcomer officially went to work.

In order to properly thank Han Yuan, Ma Xinjun had arranged for him to eat dinner at the Lijing Restaurant tomorrow night.

Han Yuan did not decline.

Now he didn't need to rush back home to cook anymore. His son was on vacation for the summer, so Gu Yan took the leave to bring him back to South City to visit his grandma's home. This time they would live together for at least 10 days to half a month.

While her father was in the hospital, Gu Yan took Han Hong to the hospital once, but still didn't talk to him.

For the time being, he was free.

After work in the afternoon, he went straight to the swimming pool. It had been a long time since he had a swim, and his body felt as if it was going to rust.

Since he had gotten up this year, his days had not gone well and he was no longer in the mood to train.

In the army, he exercised every morning and night, ran in the morning and swam in the evening.

When he returned to Hai Prefecture, he persisted for a period of time.

Swimming was his favorite sport, followed by riding.

At this hour, after work, there were only two or three people in the swimming pool and not many people in the swimming pool.

Han Yuan did some exercise before jumping into the water.

After swimming a few rounds, he leaned against the side of the pool to rest. When he turned his head to the side, he was surprised to find that the beauty beside him looked so familiar.
