Xu Dong entered the operating room, and He Hong and Xu Lu stayed outside the operating room.

"Uncle, my mother will be fine, right?"

"Yes."

He Hong stroked the top of Xu Lu's hair and said, "Minimally invasive surgery is not very dangerous. You can wait for your mother to come out with peace of mind."

"good."

Xu Lu nodded, "Uncle, thank you for saving my mother."

"You're welcome."

He Hong smiled and said, "You go to the ward and take a nap first. I'll call you after mom finishes the operation. Well, you're about to graduate from kindergarten, right? It looks like you have to go to school later today."

Xu Lu also spent several hours in the hospital and did not sleep for long.

"Yes, I'll have a holiday after a few more days of school. Mom said I'm waiting to go to elementary school."

Xu Lu held He Hong's hand and begged, "Uncle, I'm not sleepy. I want to wait here for my mother to come out."

"All right."

He Hong did not force Xu Lu and took him to sit on the bench and wait.

An hour later, the lights in the operating room went out. The doctor came out.

He Hong pulled Xu Lu up and asked, "Doctor, did the operation go well?"

“It went very smoothly.”

The doctor smiled and nodded, "She needs to stay in the hospital for seven days. The nurse will disinfect her wounds every day to avoid infection. Pay attention to her diet as I said."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

He Hong saw the nurse pushing the cot out and stepped forward to look at Xu Dong. She was still under general anesthesia and was still awake.

The nurse pushed Xu Dong into the ward and hooked up her IV before leaving.

"Uncle, when will my mother wake up?"

Xu Lu looked at Xu Dong who was still unconscious, with a worried look on his face.

"She will wake up after the anesthetic wears off."

He Hong stroked the top of Xu Lu's hair and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to kindergarten first."

Xu Lu shook his head, "Uncle, I want to wait until my mother wakes up before going to kindergarten."

"All right."

He Hong knew that Xu Lu and Xu Dong depended on each other, so it was normal to be worried.

Half an hour later, Xu Dong slowly woke up and looked at the elder and the younger sitting on the sofa.

Xu Lu was sleepy and fell asleep in He Hong's arms. He Hong also closed his eyes to rest.

She watched with tears falling. She knew that Xu Lu longed to have a father to accompany him.

He Hong was indeed a good man. He worked hard in the middle of the night to help her with hospitalization and arrange for surgery. To say that she was not touched would definitely be a lie.

"Are you awake?"

He Hong opened his eyes and met Xu Dong's gaze.

"Um."

Xu Dong raised his hand to wipe away his tears, looked at He Hong, and said bravely, "Can you give me another chance?"

He Hong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Xu Dong's words.

He gently put Xu Lu on the sofa, walked to the bedside, held Xu Dong's hand, and said with a serious face, "Xu Dong, are you really willing to be with me?"

"yes."

Xu Dong nodded and said with sobs, "I rejected you because I was afraid that others would talk behind your back about you finding a single mother to be a father. With your conditions, you can definitely find a better woman."

“What’s a better definition?”

He Hong looked helpless, "Xu Dong, I only know that the best for me is the best. I like you and Xu Lu. It's our business to form a family. We can't control what others say.

.”

"I know."

Xu Dong sniffed and pushed back tears. She knew that if she didn't express her position, she would really lose He Hong, a good man.

Wen Yu said that there is no regret medicine in the world, but she can take the initiative to repair the damage she caused to He Hong.

"I'm glad you figured it out."

He Hong smiled and looked at Xu Dong, "From now on, I will protect you mother and son from the wind and rain. No matter what others say, you and Lulu just hide behind me."

"Thank you for not giving up on me."

Xu Dong pursed his lips, "I'm a very bad person and don't know how to express my emotions. When I encounter a problem, the first thing I think of is not how to solve it but how to escape.

And you are a very good and outstanding man, and I never dared to think that you would fall in love with me. So when you said that you liked me, I felt very panicked. I longed to be loved, but I was afraid that I would suffer the same things as before.

harm.

Wu Li and Wen Yu have both advised me to cherish you, but they are not me and cannot feel the helplessness in my heart. I want to hold on to you as a life-saving straw, but I am afraid that I will be hurt even more.

harm.

In fact, I know that the fundamental reason why I hesitate is that I don’t like you. That’s why I..."

She didn't say anything further, and He Hong asked, "Then you agreed to be with me now because you started to like me?"

"I admit that I watched you running around to get me admitted to the hospital, and chatting with the doctor about the surgery, which made me feel a little different about you. I don't know if I like you or not."

Xu Dong smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I clearly rejected you yesterday, and when I saw you leaving, I felt a little regretful. I thought that we would never have any other interactions except work, but I didn't expect that I suddenly

Appendicitis, Lulu will call you."

"Your illness this time has given us a chance to each other."

He Hong looked deeply into Xu Dong's eyes, "Since you promised me, you are no longer allowed to escape. I am serious about dating you, and marriage is a prerequisite."

"Would...your family really allow you to marry a single mother with a son?"

Xu Dong hesitated again.

"My parents are very open-minded, and they have known about the existence of you and Lulu for a long time."

He Hong's words surprised Xu Dong, "How could they know?"

"Do you think those gossips circulating in the company will not reach their ears?"

He Hong chuckled, "After my divorce, my parents have been worried about my marriage. They finally heard about my gossip and knew that I was pursuing you. They were very happy. As long as I am not single."

Xu Dong was relieved. At least she didn't have to worry about the He family not accepting her and Xu Lu.

The door to the ward opened and Wu Li walked in. Seeing He Hong and Xu Dong holding hands together, she joked, "Mr. He, it seems you have finally seen the moonlight after the clouds cleared."

Xu Dong shyly withdrew his hand and looked at Wu Li, "Why are you here?"

"Mr. He was discussing work with Liu Kai and casually mentioned that you were hospitalized for surgery. Of course I came to pay attention."

Wu Li put the flowers in the vase, sat beside the hospital bed, and said with a smile, "It seems that your illness is really timely, and the hazy paper between you two was pierced in one fell swoop. I see

You have been struggling, and I am worried for you."

"You made fun of me."
