The boy's family left soon after. Judging by the kid's tear-streaked face, he was probably scared out of his wits. His father paid all the fees up front as a way of apology. Shen Qingzhou didn't stop him; from his perspective, the family had gotten off extremely easily.


Yu Wan and Shen Qingzhou were the only ones left waiting by the surgery room.


"Why aren't you going back?"


Yu Wan sat down on a chair. "I'm waiting for it to come out."


Her voice was incredibly raspy. Shen Qingzhou gazed at her for a few seconds. He had never comforted anyone before, nor had he ever believed in the gesture. But the sight of Yu Wan's pitiful state miraculously made him think otherwise.


Shen Qingzhou thought for a moment, then reached out to pat Yu Wan's head gently. "This wasn't your fault. You don't have to be like this."


Yu Wan tilted her head upwards to look at him. Because she was focusing purely on Red Bean, she had completely overlooked Shen Qingzhou's rather intimate gesture. "I'm worried about Red Bean."


Shen Qingzhou fell silent. He had always spoiled Red Bean, and it was the first time it had come to the vet's in such a serious condition. When he heard about Red Bean's incident, his heart throbbed like never before; however, he calmed down like usual. What went on in his mind never showed on his face. "It should be fine. Yu Wan, don't worry."


A few minutes later, the doors of the surgery room swung open. Shen Qingzhou and Yu Wan stood up at the same time and walked over with Yu Diandian hot on their heels.


"How is it?" Yu Wan asked hurriedly.


"It's not a big deal. Though the wound is long, it's not very deep. I've already given it stitches, so it should be fine with a good amount of rest." The doctor stated.


Yu Wan and Shen Qingzhou both heaved a sigh of relief.


"Miss, please don't worry. Look at all the blood on your clothes– you should hurry home and change, eh? Is this your boyfriend? Just have him stay here." The vet was a fifty year old man, so he didn't seem to recognize Shen Qingzhou.


Yu Wan shook her head, "He's the owner of the dog, not me..."


"Oh, young man, your girlfriend is quite kind to have such concern for your dog. You have no idea how frightening it was to see her small frame carrying such a large dog."


Shen Qingzhou glanced at her and could immediately imagine the scene. No wonder there was so much blood on her back and shoulders.


Yu Wan laughed dryly and didn't want to explain to the vet. She peered inside the room, "Can I take a look inside?"


"Sure, but I've administered some anesthesia. It should be asleep by now."
