Outside the operating room, Ning Qi's heart ached in waves.
Her young brother had made a mistake in his youth, spent five years in prison, and due to a misunderstanding with their father, had become estranged and wandered abroad for many years after release. At their father's deathbed, he returned home, but their father had already passed away.
Now, as his elder sister, she wished to treat him well and make up for the lost affection he had missed, yet this had taken place.
Such a cruel twist of fate!
If her little brother couldn't overcome this hurdle, Ning Qi would mourn for the rest of her life.
She sat and then stood pacing around, not knowing what to do.
The TV in the family waiting area was broadcasting some medical science programs in Japanese, but Ning Qi had no heart to watch.
Each time the operating room door opened, she would look to see if it was her brother.
But it never was.
