Wang YiBo had enough of always getting cheated on in every relationship he committed to. So he swore that he would never date a straight nor bisexual guy ever again.
But one night, in the cafébar he runs, one of his regular customers Dr. Xiao Zhan b...
I made it! I was able to post on Xiao Zhan's birth month! Writing this chapter was exhausting. 🥺

The knife that was stabbed in Xiao Zhan's chest was a hair's breadth away from his heart. If it was carelessly yanked, it certainly would have damaged his heart and he would have been in a much worse situation than his daughter. He definitely wouldn't have reached the hospital alive. Even during the surgery, the surgeon had to take an extra mile of care while pulling it out.
But thankfully, Xiao Zhan was saved.
Xiao Qing had three stabs and one of them had damaged a major vessel. If she was sent to the hospital a few seconds later, she wouldn't have made it either. Although the surgeon did a good job saving her life, it wasn't secured yet. Her condition was still critical and had to be under intensively close monitoring.
When Xiao Zhan woke up, it took faster than a moment to recover from the brief confusion he was in and wanted to quickly get up to find his daughter. But Wang YiBo, who had been staying almost everyday in the hospital, had already predicted this and was completely prepared for it.
"Stay in bed." Wang YiBo said as he lightly pushed Xiao Zhan back.
Xiao Zhan who had just woken up after undergoing an operation, his body was supposed to have no strength to move at all, but due to the adrenaline rush, he was able to lift up his upper body by just not more than three inches off the pillow. Now that Wang YiBo had effortlessly pushed him back, almost not exerting force, that adrenaline rush had instantly withered, fully draining Xiao Zhan all of what was little left of his energy. He helplessly lay down back in the bed, unable to move.
As much as Xiao Zhan wanted to bombard Wang YiBo with so many questions, he was downright out of strength. If he had to compare his body's current condition to a battery, as much as it was currently recharging so it wasn't totally at 0%, it wasn't more than 1% either. It didn't have enough power to function yet.
Fortunately, Wang YiBo didn't need to hear what was in Xiao Zhan's mind. He clicked a button on the hand control connected to the bed, making its upper half slowly and quietly rise. Then he put a bed table on Xiao Zhan's lap. It had a built-in gadget stand so Wang YiBo conveniently leaned a tablet device on it.
On the screen, there was Xiao Qing. It was a video surveillance.
Wang YiBo promptly spoke, "The surgery went well but Xiao Qing is not in a stable condition yet. She's still not out of danger."
Xiao Zhan felt his eyes warming up and his vision became a little blurry as tears accumulated in his eyes. But after blinking a few times, nothing was shed.
He wanted to touch the screen. For that way at least, he could somehow make himself feel like he could be a little closer to his daughter. But his body was too weak to let him do what he wanted to.
