2340: Entering the Infection Period

Entering the Infection Period

She anxiously bombarded him with a string of questions.0

"There's no danger for the time being, but we have to keep a tight watch for he's in the infection period."

"He's safe only for the time being?" She shuddered at the thought. "Does this mean that his life… is at risk any time?"

Her husband nodded. "We'll see how good his recuperation ability is during this infection period."

If the old man managed to pull through this time, he would undergo the sixth round of surgery the following week to repair the damage to his eyes and eyelids. The surgeon would also perform functional skin grafting on his arms and knee joints, as well as remove the dead tissues.

As he was vulnerable to infection during this period, the medical team could not perform intensive surgery on him in the meantime.

The doctor proceeded to explain that, as the old man's face was badly damaged, his eyes could not close completely. The worst thing was that his face had started to ulcerate from the burns, so even with the skin grafting, he would be unable to restore his former appearance.

Not only was he totally disfigured, he would have to bear with the pain for the rest of his life. That was the most frightening thing of all.

The woman was silent for a while before she gave a meek smile. "No matter what, I must stay cheerful, so I can face the challenge with him."

"Don't worry. He's still alive and that's the most important thing. We don't have to dwell on the rest for now." Hugging her in her arms, he comforted her gently. "No matter what happens, I'm here with you."

"Eh!" The woman tried to relax her mind as she took a seat on the long bench.

"Hasn't he woken up yet?"

"He was given anesthesia during the operation and still hasn't recovered from the effects; hence, he has yet to regain consciousness."

She heaved a long, heavy sigh. "That may be a good thing, actually. It may be suffering that awaits him once he wakes up."

…

For the next two days, Yun Shishi and Gong Jie took turns keeping watch at the hospital, so it was up to Mu Yazhe to take care of the kids. On top of that, he started to shoulder heavier responsibilities after he received the land. He got busy really fast. Nevertheless, he would always make sure to take some time to visit the hospital.

The police would update him intermittently, but no definitive progress was made.

As Youyou was free with nothing to do at home during this time, he hacked into the city's surveillance system to spy on the area that his grandfather was staying in. Despite camping in front of the monitor daily, he could see nothing suspicious.

It was the perfect crime.

This was also why Mu Yazhe had become convinced that this was no simple robbery and assault case.

After the new year, Qin Zhou received quite a number of invitations from programs and auditions for Yun Shishi to attend.

He picked a couple of scripts and contacted her. She reverted, saying that she would need to take leave for half a month or so in the next one month due to family matters.

According to the artist, her father had met with an accident and was currently in the hospital. He was still in a life-threatening condition due to infection risks. Thus, she would need to stay by his side.

He was empathetic and understanding; thus, he moved her production schedules and advertisement shoots at a later date. The clients were agreeable as well.

Originally, there was a charity gala that he wanted to bring her along.

The so-called charity gala was actually referring to the prestigious Bazaar Charity Night. During the event, many celebrities would make their appearance with many famous people. In addition to the superstars and famous philanthropists, some billionaires would also be attendees.

Countless stars of course strove to get their names on the invitation list for this event as many well-known directors and producers would be present with sponsors.
