After a busy spell, when Zhang Guoqing returned to the hospital ward, Ping'an was already lying asleep on the bed outside, while Lin Lishan had also hung up medicine and fallen asleep.
He walked softly over to the sofa and whispered to Zhou Xiaozheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, "Dad, while Mom's asleep, you should stay with Ping'an for a while. I've already asked Aunt Chen to come over early tomorrow morning."
"Mhm, you should also go back to rest early. There's nothing more to worry about here; you need to rush back to school. Work and study shouldn't be delayed."
Zhang Guoqing nodded and left the room. He didn't go back home, instead leaning against the corridor, looking at the stars in the sky and listening to the sounds within. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep even if he were home.
Fortunately, his wife wasn't home, otherwise she would have been really upset. Zhang Guoqing imagined what Zhou Jiao would do if she were at the hospital right now.
