Secretary Zhang felt a sense of relief at the doctor's words.
"Thank you, doctor," he said repeatedly, grateful for any bit of hope.
"You're welcome. However, the patient is still in the ICU for observation. You can go ahead and handle the necessary paperwork," the doctor kindly reminded him.
Realizing there wasn't much he could do at the hospital for the moment, Secretary Zhang went to take care of the accident's aftermath.
After an investigation by the traffic police, it was discovered that the accident had been caused by the truck driver's fatigue and the reduced visibility due to rain.
Secretary Zhang managed these matters diligently, knowing that some details would have to wait until Mr. Gu woke up.
As time passed, the next day arrived, but Gu Shaoting showed no signs of waking up, making Secretary Zhang increasingly anxious.
