NovelEnglishJiang Yao did not return to Lu Xingzhi's ward after she had calmed down. Instead, she returned to the operating room to complete a second minor surgery.
She was afraid that if she went to the ward to look for Lu Xingzhi, she would be so angry that she would be unable to stop herself from pasting the letter on Lu Xingzhi's face.
The second surgery was straightforward. Jiang Yao finished it in about 40 minutes. She washed her hands and changed back into her work clothes before returning to Lu Xingzhi's ward.
It was lunchtime, and Master Cheng had just finished delivering it. When he noticed Jiang Yao entering the room, he asked, "Are you tired? You do not have to go in the afternoon, do you? I see there are a lot of new doctors here."
"There is another patient in the afternoon. It will probably take about two hours. I have nothing else after that." Jiang Yao was not required to complete the remaining tasks. Those doctors could also do it well. She could stay in the ward and rest.

Master Cheng noticed Jiang Yao staring at Lu Xingzhi after he said that. He reasoned that she might have something to say to Lu Xingzhi, so he left without lingering.
Lu Xingzhi glanced at Jiang Yao as soon as Master Cheng left. He touched the tip of his nose and shifted his gaze from her face to her clothes, then to her pocket.
"What are you looking at?" Despite knowing the answer, Jiang Yao still asked.
"Nothing." Lu Xingzhi responded quickly. He would never say he was looking for the will that the little boy had given Jiang Yao.
Lu Xingzhi reasoned that Jiang Yao had been busy all morning and had not had time to read it yet.
Later, he would entice her to nap before stealing the letter from her pocket to burn it.
Jiang Yao could tell by the look in his eyes that he was thinking about something and only pretending to be unaware. She sat beside him and ate.
He must have known that the little boy had given her the letter. He was trying to determine if she had read it.
Lu Xingzhi was in a good mood. He could not stay still because he had been lying in bed for a long time. He insisted on watching Jiang Yao eat.
His stare irritated Jiang Yao. Before lowering her head to eat, she turned her head away from him.
Lu Xingzhi was dumbfounded.

However, based on Jiang Yao's demeanor, Lu Xingzhi deduced that she had read the letter.
Lu Xingzhi was convinced that he would perish when he wrote the letter. However, as he wrote it, he did not want to die in that manner. So, there were many things that he did not write in the letter.
He used them to motivate himself. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.
In his mind, he kept repeating what Jiang Yao said.
He remembered Jiang Yao telling him that if he went on a mission, even if he lost his limbs, he had to return to her alive. She would heal him.
Lu Xingzhi thought that he had to return to see her.
In fact, near the end of the letter, he began to faint, but he did not let go of the pen in his hand.
"Did you get the letter?" Lu Xingzhi reached out from under the blanket and kicked Jiang Yao softly in the back. "Please turn around. Let's talk while you eat."
