The doctor nodded and began to push the great-grandfather towards the operating room, with Ling Momo following alongside the moving bed, her gaze fixed tightly on her great-grandfather.
Her eyes didn’t even blink, afraid that if she wasn’t careful, her great-grandfather would disappear completely from her life.
Ling Momo clutched her great-grandfather’s hand tightly, those hands were rough and aged, yet they had a warmth that could seep into the depths of her heart.
The moving bed was pushed all the way to the door of the operating room, where a nurse spoke softly as a reminder, "Miss, you can’t go in, please wait outside the operating room."
Ling Momo nodded, lifting her tearful eyes pitifully to look at the great-grandfather’s chief surgeon, her voice trembling with a plea, "Doctor, my great-grandfather’s operation will definitely be a success, won’t it?"
"We will do our best," the doctor lifted his hand, patting Ling Momo’s shoulder and giving her a reassuring smile.
Ling Momo’s lips instantly turned pale and lifeless; she knew what it meant for her great-grandfather to enter that operating room—if the operation failed, he would leave her forever...
If they were lucky, her great-grandfather would come out and glance at her before closing his eyes... If not, she and her great-grandfather would be utterly parted by life and death at this very moment...
A sour feeling suddenly erupted from the depths of Ling Momo’s heart, and the tears she had held back once again rolled down. Reluctantly, she began to let go of her great-grandfather’s hand, bit by bit.
Then, Ling Momo watched as her great-grandfather was swiftly pushed into the operating room.
She instinctively cried out, "Great-grandfather..."
She chased after his bed, but before she had taken more than a few steps, the heavy operating room doors slammed shut before her eyes, and then she saw the light above the operating room door turn on.
Ling Momo felt as though everything in front of her eyes was soaked in blood red. The sound of the operating room doors closing echoed in her brain, making her feel as though all the blood in her body had frozen.
In that instant, she felt as if all her strength had been drained, leaving her filled with panic and helplessness.
Staggering, she walked over to a seat by the window and sat down lifelessly.
The hospital corridor window was open, and a cool breeze blew in from outside. It wasn’t actually cold, but Ling Momo felt her whole body as cold as ice and snow, subconsciously hugging herself with a sense of loneliness she had never felt before spreading from the bottom of her heart.
