The operating room lights never stopped, and the doors of the operating room opened and closed. Shen Huaisang and Mo Chen were both pushed out of the operating room, but Shen Yao was still nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, when Shen Huaisang was pushed out, medical staff were calling for Shen's father and Shen's mother.
"Who is the patient's family? Where are Shen Huaisang's family members?"
"Here, here, nurse, is there anything wrong?"
Shen's father was the first to react and the first to rush to the nurse to inquire about the situation.
"The patient is not in serious condition, but when he was brought into the operating room, he was clutching a snake in his hand. No matter how we pried his hand open, we couldn't get the snake out.
Our doctor was afraid of hurting the patient if they used too much force, so they let him hold the snake. When you look after the patient later, see if you can remove the snake from his hand."
The nurse glanced meaningfully at Shen Huaisang lying on the hospital bed and then instructed.
Shen's father was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at his son's hand. Indeed, he saw a small black earth snake.
Upon seeing the familiar small earth snake, Shen's father immediately thought of Mo Xuan.
Could this small earth snake be his grandson!
"Okay, okay, I understand. When we get back to the ward, I'll try my best to remove the snake."
After the medical staff finished their instructions, they immediately pushed Shen Huaisang back to the ward.
Shen's father quickly asked Shen's elder brother to follow him to the ward and relayed what the nurse had just said to Shen's elder brother.
Then he shared his guess with Shen's elder brother, who nodded in agreement after hearing it.
Despite not having any blood relation to his sister, Shen's elder brother genuinely liked Mo Xuan.
If that small earth snake was indeed Mo Xuan, then it was easy to understand that he must have transformed into this state to help Shen Yao and the others!
After all, he dared to endure lightning tribulations in the cultivation world to save his younger sister. It didn't seem impossible for him to become like this for his younger sister.
It wasn't until 9 AM the next morning that the operating room door opened again, and Shen Yao was pushed out.
"Where are Shen Yao's family members?"
As soon as Shen Yao's name was mentioned, the Shen family immediately rushed forward.
"We are, we are Shen Yao's family. How is the patient? Is she in danger?"
Shen's mother quickly inquired about Shen Yao's condition, looking at the nurse with hope.
The nurse looked at Shen's mother, swallowed the words that were about to be spoken, and then said with a smile.
"Please don't worry, family members. With our hospital here, the patient will be fine. For the patient's specific condition, you can ask the chief physician after he comes out."
After saying that, she immediately turned and went back into the operating room.
Seeing this, the Shen family understood. Shen Yao's condition must be very bad, otherwise, they wouldn't have said such ambiguous words.
Everyone followed the medical staff back to the ward and was then stopped outside by the medical staff.
"This is an observation ward. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed. Please all return. Only one person needs to stay and guard."
After the medical staff finished speaking, they immediately closed the door without looking back.
The moment the door closed, it was as if all the Shen family's hopes were shut out. The pain on everyone's faces was evident.
After several attempts to urge them away, Shen's father was the one who ended up staying outside the ward.
Shen's father sent everyone else back, and even Shen's mother was forcibly taken back to the castle to rest by Ning Min.
"I'm not going back. I want to stay here and watch over my Yao Yao." Shen's mother, who had finally stopped crying, began to cry again.
Her eyes were already swollen beyond recognition, but even so, she couldn't help herself.
"Wanwan, what you need most right now is rest. Only if you rest well can you take over my shift, right?
Besides, with you in this state, how can I bear to leave you alone at the hospital? Be good, when you've rested, you can come and replace me, okay?"
Shen's father's words had an effect. Even though Shen's mother kept looking back as she walked away, she was still willing to go back to the castle with Ning Min.

Shen's mother came to relieve Mo Chen, bringing food prepared by the castle's restaurant.
That's right, after Mo Chen woke up and learned about Shen Yao's condition, he immediately came to see her.
No matter how others persuaded him, he remained by her side, never leaving.
Today was the fifth day he had been guarding the ward.
Shen Yao had been in a coma for five full days. During these five days, everyone finally understood Shen Yao's exact condition.
Because Shen Yao's spiritual power had been exhausted when she fell from a high altitude, she was a mortal being when she fell.
The impact from a fall of more than twenty meters, even into the sea, was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Therefore, after learning how Shen Yao was injured, even the chief physician said that Shen Yao was extremely lucky.
Although she had multiple fractures, there were no fatal injuries. As for why she hadn't woken up, the chief physician's diagnosis was that
due to the impact of the high-altitude fall, the patient's brain had been injured, and she was currently in a vegetative state.
As for when she would wake up, it depended on the patient's condition. She might wake up in the next second, or she might never wake up.
After all, no one could guarantee such a probabilistic matter.
"Drip."
Shen's mother pushed open the ward door and then quietly closed it, her movements extremely gentle.
Shen Yao had been transferred from the observation ward to a VIP ward on the third day of her surgery.
VIP wards were similar to regular wards, so family members were allowed to stay and accompany the patient.
"Xiao Chen, come, Mom brought you some food. Come and eat properly."
Shen's mother's voice was also very gentle, with a hint of coaxing a child.
However, even so, Mo Chen remained motionless, his gaze fixed on Shen Yao, unwavering.
Although she had seen this scene countless times, her mother's tears still fell.
For several days now, Mo Chen had been like this. He wouldn't eat when offered food, and he wouldn't rest. No matter how others persuaded him, it was all in vain.
They were all worried that before Shen Yao woke up, Mo Chen might collapse from exhaustion.
"Mom, I don't want to eat."
Mo Chen slowly uttered a few words, then fell silent again.
