"It's getting late. I'm an old man, so I need to go back to rest. Maybe you should rest early as well," said Dr. Sang.

"Sure, I'll see you out," said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao walked Dr. Sang to the door where Zhou Xiong's family had arranged people to pick Mr. Sang up. They walked him to the car then drove off.

Zhou Xiong's family had also arranged accommodation for Wang Yao inside their house. It was not because there were no other accommodations elsewhere in the village. Zhou Xiong's family wanted Wang Yao to stay close to Zhou Ying's father who was still unconscious. They could ask Wang Yao for help immediately if anything happened to Zhou Ying's father.

"This is not the best accommodation in the village. Please bear with it," said Zhou Xiong.

"That's fine. I think the room is quite nice," said Wang Yao.

The room was actually nice and cozy. Although the room was not as luxurious as hotel suites, it made Wang Yao feel at home.

"Have a good night's rest. Good night," said Zhou Xiong.

"Good night," said Wang Yao.

It was 3 am when Wang Yao went to sleep, only a few hours before daylight.

Dr. Sang was also taken back to rest. All the guests had gone to sleep, but Zhou Xiong's family didn't.

"I've spoken to Dr. Sang when I was driving him back. He said my dad was temporarily out of danger," said Zhou Ying, "but it will up to Dr. Wang to stabilize him."

When Zhou Ying was driving Wang Yao and Zhou Xiong from Lianshan to Cangzhou, he didn't speak much because he was not a talkative person. He also had doubts about Wang Yao who was too young. Even if Wang Yao started to study medicine since childhood, he only had a maximum of 20 years' experience. What could such a young doctor do for his father? He didn't expect Wang Yao to be such an expert in medicine. He was shocked.

Although Wang Yao didn't bring a dead person back to life, what he did was almost like stealing a life from the Grim Reaper. Even the famous Dr. Sang couldn't achieve it.

"We should all rest now. Everyone's been so tired these last few days," said Zhou Xiong's father.

"I want to stay with Dad for a bit longer," said Zhou Ying. "My sister will arrive soon. I'll go to sleep when she gets here."

"Okay, we'll rest for a while, let us know if you need us," said Zhou Xiong's father.

Zhou Xiong's family just lived next to Zhou Ying's family; they were less than 100 meters apart. If anything happened, Zhou Ying could just yell out, and Zhou Xiong and his dad would hear him.

...

The next morning, the sun rose from the east and lit up the earth. The whole village could be seen clearly under the sunshine.

Most of the houses near where Zhou Ying lived were modern buildings with back or front yards. A few houses had two stories. Looking a bit further to the northwest of the village, there were some old houses that looked quite antique.


Although Wang Yao had been on the road for nearly six hours and slept for only three hours, he didn't feel too tired. He was much fitter than average people, so it was nothing to him.

When Wang Yao entered the room, he didn't see Zhou Xiong and his father, neither did he see Zhou Ying. Instead, he saw a young woman in her 20's who was standing next to the bed and looking at Zhou Ying's father. Wang Yao couldn't see the face of the young woman; he could only tell the woman was thin and tall.
