And thus, Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen headed over to Jian Yunnao’s ward.

As of this moment, the Jian family was anxiously waiting for the operation to begin. When they saw Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen arrive, they rushed forward to ask:

“Dr. Cheng, Dr. Luo, what’s the matter? Didn’t you say that the operation will take place at one o’clock? There’s only half an hour remaining.”

The person who said this was Jian Shuxing.

It was almost time for the surgery. Why was nothing happening yet?

“Please do not worry. There’s still half an hour till one o’clock. If something unexpected happens, the operation will be delayed by an hour.”

Cheng Yi’s words managed to appease the Jian family. However, at the same time, his words added to their worries.

It was fine if the operation was only delayed by an hour. They had been waiting for so many days already. An hour didn’t matter.

However, they were worried that things would change.

What if an hour turned into another hour? In fact, what if that turned into a day? And then a week?

Jian Yuncheng immediately followed up and asked, “Did something happen to Dr. F.S? Do you need help with anything?”

Cheng Yi smiled and replied, “Please do not worry. The doctors at our inst.i.tution are very capable of handling their own personal and business matters. Even if emergencies exist, we believe that the members of our research inst.i.tution can handle it by themselves. Even if they can’t, the rest of us will naturally help them out. We do not need the help of outsiders.”

Cheng Yi decisively refused Jian Yuncheng’s offer. And thus, the Jian family could not ask any more questions.

Time was pa.s.sing incredibly slowly. It was very tortuous for the Jian family.

They felt as though they were ants crawling over a hot pot. They felt like they wanted to jump from one spot to another.
