Pei Jihua sat on a small stool beside the bed, tightly clutching his wife's hand.

He was relieved that his wife had undergone the surgery and her uterus had been saved.

As he thought about the attending doctor's words, he felt his calves trembling.
The gently closed door of the ward was pushed open, and an Auntie in her fifties came in with two lunch boxes.
