Through long hours of maintaining the balance between caring for Bai Huiqi and Cheon Yerin— granted Young Miss Cheon was more cared for by Hu Lijing than by Li Xinyuan himself—a long period of five days came to a thankful end.
This passage of time also fortunately gave the surgeon an opportunity to have a long overdue break.
"I cannot be happier to see you back to health, Huiqi," Li Xinyuan said, giving him a soft smile, and ruffled his hair gently as he stood up from his bedside. "These past few days have been unkind to you. It was an unsavory situation for both of us." He paused, as though deep in thought. "How about you take this opportunity to take a breather and relax? It would do you quite good."
And with that, he filed out of the room, murmuring something about a 'routine checkup on Cheon Yerin'.
Bai Huiqi looked up at his swiftly retreating figure in speechless silence.
