Gu Xiaobei felt like she just experienced a century before being wheeled out of the operating room. Li Fengmei stood at the door holding the two children, tear stains still visibile on her face. She murmured, "Finally, you are out. I was scared to death."
Gu Xiaobei's face was as white as a sheet of paper. Her lower lip was bitten until blood seeped out, visibly swollen.
Upon entering the ward, Doctor Liu comforted her, "It's okay now. The process was not smooth, but the result is good. Firstly you need to lay flat for six hours. After six hours, you must get up and move by yourself. Even if it hurts, you'll have to bear it. Do you understand?"
Gu Xiaobei nodded mechanically, her stomach throbbed with pain, to the point where she hardly took in anything Doctor Liu had just said.
