On Pins and Needles

Shu Pan's gesture made Gu Shaoting tense up, and he tightened his grip on her hand.

The red light outside the operating theater was still on, and there was indeed no sound on the other side of the door.

As Gu Shaoting was squeezing Shu Pan's hand hard, she frowned in pain but didn't complain. She just let him squeeze her hand as she quietly led him to the end of the corridor, away from the entrance to the emergency department.

The two of them didn't talk. They just held each other's hand in silence and stood side-by-side, leaning against the wall.

The corridor was dead silent.

Everyone was anxious, but they did not show it.

Shortly after, Song Can arrived. "How is it? Why did the old master suddenly faint?"

Song Can was out with a friend and rushed over as soon as she heard the news.

Shu Pan also informed Gu Shaoting's uncle and Gu Huanhuan, who was at an event in a nearby city and would rush over as soon as the event ended.
