He stared at the bowl of pork congee for a moment like someone who didn't care about a thing. He turned and looked at the housekeeper standing beside him. "Give her a call and tell her to remember to go to the hospital today."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment before she realized who Han Zhifan meant by "her." She hurriedly cried "yes," and ran into the living room in a hurry to grab the home phone and make a call.
Han Zhifan went to the hospital first. The doctor had already given Cheng Han a physical examination. After Han Zhifan arrived, he signed some papers and was taken to the operating room where they sent Cheng Han soon afterward.
Cheng Weiwan arrived not long after the doors to the operating room closed.
"Where's Hanhan?" she asked.
After the housekeeper explained the situation, she didn't say anything.
She must've not wanted to stand too close to him, because she chose to stand in front of the window. The window was further away from the tightly shut doors of the operating room that she was glaring at.
A call came in - it was the company calling. Han Zhifan suddenly remembered he had a contract to sign today and hurriedly picked up the call.
He spoke on the phone for a long time with the business partner of that project.
After hanging up, he glanced at the window and saw Cheng Weiwan's dazed gaze outside the window.
Han Zhifan put his phone away for a moment then stared at Cheng Weiwan for a while before he put it back into his pocket.
When it was almost noon, Cheng Han came out of the operating room.
"The young master is finally out..." The housekeeper muttered to the wet nurse next to him then ran over to the operating room doors.
Cheng Weiwan, who was standing dazed in front of the window, quickly looked back at Cheng Han on the hospital bed. Then she immediately strode over to him.
Cheng Han was wheeled into the isolation unit.
Because there were professionals taking care of him, family and friends were stopped outside the patient room.
Dr. Luo took off his mask and gave Han Zhifan a brief summary of his condition. After he finished, he was just about to leave when Cheng Weiwan stopped him. "Can I go in to see Hanhan?"
Dr. Luo looked hesitant.
Standing in front of him was Han Zhifan, who lowered his head slightly and glanced over at Cheng Weiwan. He looked as though he was contemplating something. After a while, he looked up at Dr. Luo and nodded silently.
With Han Zhifan's approval, Dr. Luo gulped back his rejection. "You can, but before you go in, please wear the hazmat suit."
Perhaps it was he had been given an anesthetic during the operation, but Cheng Han was fast asleep.
Beside the bed, Cheng Weiwan watched over Cheng Han without blinking.
Han Zhifan stood outside, looking in through the window, and clearly saw her facial expression. She no longer looked dazed the way she was when she was standing in front of the window earlier, but she now looked warm and affectionate.
That was when he realized that Cheng Weiwan hadn't really smiled in the past few days unless she was in front of Cheng Han.
Han Zhifan stood in the hallway for a while then headed downstairs and smoked two cigarettes in the garden.
When he headed back to the building, Cheng Weiwan had already come out of the patient room.
She had her head lowered and was flipping through things in her bag. She didn't notice him.
Soon enough, she grabbed the box of pills he saw last night and put a few in her mouth.
She moved naturally as though she had been taking them for some time... Which meant she had actually been clinically depressed for a long time?
Han Zhifan didn't walk over to Cheng Han's hospital room and headed back to the elevators instead.
He walked out of the hospital building and stood beneath the sun for a moment. He pulled out the car keys, opened the car door, stepped on the gas and left the hospital.
