【1175】The teacher woke up

Cao Yong stayed in the ward, keeping watch over the teacher without leaving.

Huang Zhilei, who was by his side, understood that Cao Yong had just asked Xie Wanying to leave because he didn't want her to see him in this state.

As a neurosurgeon, Cao Yong was well aware that there was a chance the teacher might end up in a vegetative state.

His heart ached; it was unbearable. Four years ago, he hadn't been able to ensure Teacher Zhang could pass away peacefully. Four years later, after urging Teacher Lu to undergo surgery, it had once again turned into this outcome.

"Play a song for the teacher," Cao Yong said softly.

Huang Zhilei immediately placed the tape recorder by the patient's bedside, closed the ICU's dividing glass door, and adjusted the volume carefully to avoid disturbing neighboring patients.

The cassette spun inside the player, and the music flowed from the speakers, spreading throughout the room.
