Outside the operating room, Qin Xiao had been standing for an unknown amount of time. He only knew he was staring intently at the light above the operating room, hoping it would go out soon so Xiao Li could come out of the operating room sooner...
At home, Qin's mother glanced at her watch and noted it was half an hour later than usual. She found it odd that Qin Xiao and the others hadn't come home for dinner yet. Was the hospital busy?
Since Qin's mother and the others arrived, Xiao Li's meals have mostly been home-cooked.
If Xiao Li had time to come home, she would be brought back by Qin Xiao.
If Xiao Li was too busy to come home today, Qin Xiao would take food to the hospital for her.
Today's situation was the first time neither Xiao Li nor Qin Xiao had come home nor taken any food.
Qin's mother picked up her phone to call Qin Xiao, but no one answered despite several attempts. Calling Xiao Li was even worse as her phone was directly turned off.
