A nurse walked in holding a paper, her expression warm and gentle. "Chen, you're discharged," she announced softly as she began removing the bandage from his arm, revealing the healed wound beneath. Chen's father, Thunder, stood nearby, a mix of relief and excitement evident on his face. The nurse handed the discharge papers to Thunder, who glanced over them briefly before passing them back to her. "Seems good," Thunder remarked, a sense of pride in his voice. The nurse nodded, a smile tugging at her lips. "Actually, his papers are very good," she replied warmly before excusing herself from the room. Chen wasted no time in getting up from the hospital bed, the eagerness to leave evident in his movements. "Alright, let me collect my stuff and prepare for war," he declared, his tone filled with determination. Thunder watched his son with a mixture of emotions, grateful for this moment of freedom after weeks of hospital visits. As Chen began gathering his belongings from the closet and drawer, Thunder assisted him, helping pack his things into a bag Thunder had brought along. Amidst the quiet shuffling of clothes and personal items, Chen suddenly spoke up, his voice tinged with curiosity. "Dad, did you always visit me like you promised?" Chen's question hung in the air, and Thunder paused, his gaze drifting towards the window for a brief moment before meeting Chen's eyes. "I did," Thunder replied softly, a flicker of emotion in his voice. "I hope you're happy with it." Chen closed the closet door, his expression thoughtful as he leaned against it, a sense of gratitude flooding through him. "I am, very to say the least," Chen admitted, a genuine smile spreading across his face as he turned to look at Thunder. His father returned the smile, his eyes reflecting pride and unwavering support for his son. In that moment, as they stood amidst the hospital room, the bond between father and son only grew stronger, a silent promise of love and dedication passing between them. As they prepared to leave the confines of the hospital behind, Chen knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, he had his father by his side, a steadfast pillar of strength and love.
