At Gavin's ward in the private hospital.

The night grew deeper and deeper, and it was like ink had floated up into the sky and enveloped the world. Everything seemed to be dark, which carried a sense of coldness that made people feel suffocated.

Wendy didn't feel anything about this.

She only had two things on her mind, one was about Gavin, while the other was about the postgraduate entrance examination.

She did not know when Gavin would wake up, but she was sure that he would definitely wake up.

The only thing she needed to do was wait.

The other thing was to get into postgraduate school.

Only by continuing to study and mastering more medical knowledge could she, like Noah, challenge the most dangerous diseases and save the dying ones.

If Gavin still needed to rest, or if he didn't want to wake up, for the time being, it didn't matter.

She could study very hard, and when he woke up, she could give him a surprise by telling him that she had been admitted to the medical postgraduate school.

Wendy did not close the materials for the exam until 11 o'clock in the evening. She stretched her sore shoulders and neck and was ready to sleep.

The president had asked someone to add a bed to the ward, which was placed on the opposite side of Gavin's hospital bed.

Wendy could sleep more comfortably, but she could no longer see Gavin as soon as she opened her eyes.

Fortunately, Gavin's operation had been successful, so she didn't have to worry about something trivial. Therefore, it didn't matter if she couldn't see him for the time being.

Wendy walked to the side of the hospital bed before she squatted down, put her chin on the bed, and looked at Gavin at a close distance.

His eyes were closed, and his face was still pale. He didn't seem to be full of vitality.

However, according to the monitoring equipment, his heartbeat and breathing were normal, and all his vital signs were normal.

He was indeed fine.

Wendy was a doctor, so she could understand the data on the instrument. Therefore, she was very relieved.

She rested her chin on her hands casually, stared at Gavin for a while, and then smiled and said, "Good night!"

Gavin, of course, would not respond.

However, Wendy knew that he would wake up in a few days. Maybe it would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

When the time came, not only could he respond to her, but he could also say good night to her before going to bed every day.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry to get his response now.

Wendy walked to the opposite side and sat down on her bed. Then, she read for a while. She soon lay down and fell asleep.

The night did not last long. It passed in a blink of an eye.

The new day's sunlight emerged from the horizon, gradually covering the entire land. It formed a thin layer of golden light that enveloped the branches that had just sprouted, bringing in a new form of vitality and hope.

Wendy felt the light. She quickly opened her eyes and got up. After washing up, she went downstairs to have breakfast. After taking a walk with the old men and women in the hospital, she soon returned to the suite.

As soon as she entered the room, she habitually went to check on Gavin first.

In the past few days, when Wendy was free, she would think about when Gavin would wake up.

Could it be that after she finished breakfast and returned to the room, he would be awake without warning and give her a big surprise?

No matter how nice she imagined it to be, the reality was still harsh.

Wendy walked to the hospital bed and saw that Gavin was still the same as before, lying motionless with his eyes tightly closed. Only the medical instruments that could monitor him in real time could prove that he was alive.

Wendy shrugged indifferently and said to herself, "Well, since you still want to sleep, then keep sleeping for another day or two. Anyway, I've been very busy these days. Even if you are awake, I won't have time to talk to you, humph!"

Her tone was full of pride when she snorted at the end.

After saying that, she turned around and walked to the desk in the corner without hesitation.

Halfway through, a familiar voice broke the silence in the ward and reached her ears.

"Wendy."

This voice was much lower than usual. It was no longer as magnetic as it used to be, and it sounded a little hoarse.

However, no matter how many changes had taken place, Wendy could still recognize that it was Gavin's voice at once.

"Gavin is awake?"

Wendy shook her head and almost subconsciously denied this guess.

"I was standing by the bed ten seconds ago. Gavin didn't react at all. How could he suddenly wake up when I turned around?"

It wasn't that she couldn't believe it but that she didn't want to be let down anymore.

The two days of waiting had exhausted all of her expectations.

She didn't dare to look back excitedly, for fear that she had just misheard it. When she looked back, she saw that Gavin was still lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, so she could only feel deeply disappointed again.

Wendy took a deep breath and was about to keep walking when she heard the familiar voice calling her name again.

"Wendy."

This time, Wendy was sure that she was neither hallucinating nor hearing things.

"It really is Gavin's voice!

"He is truly awake!"

Wendy's eyes, which had been dry for a few days, suddenly turned warm.

She finally stopped doubting and hesitating. She turned around and rushed back to the hospital bed.

Then, she saw the most beautiful scene in her life.

Gavin was still lying in bed in his usual position for the past few days, but somehow he had opened his eyes and was smiling slightly. His eyes were like the warm spring day, full of vitality.

He was finally fine.

Something in Wendy's heart was constantly expanding. It was about to rush out of her body and explode violently.

However, she was stiff all over. She could only stand still and did not know how to move.

Gavin looked at Wendy and slightly smiled. He asked, "Have you gone silly?"

Wendy's limbs finally regained their normality. She slowly walked to Gavin's bed and just looked at him. Her tears burst out without warning and fell on Gavin's quilt.

Seeing her tears, Gavin's heart instantly softened. He stopped teasing her and reached out to her, saying, "Come here."

He had just woken up. Combined with the operation a few days ago, his physical strength was obviously different from usual. He could only say a few simple words.

It would be a challenge for him to say any more words by now.

Wendy really wanted to hug Gavin tightly as usual.

However, the wound on his head hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't withstand any impact.

Wendy could only suppress the surging excitement in her heart. She slowly squatted down and looked at Gavin.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her throat seemed to be stuck by something. What she wanted to say was stuck in her throat, and she could not utter a word.

Gavin put his palm on Wendy's face and said, "Silly girl, don't cry."

Wendy grabbed Gavin's hand and felt the warmth of his palm for real. It was as if she had already achieved the greatest happiness.

The only thing she longed for in her life was that Gavin could be with her.

When she thought of this, her tears did not stop. Instead, they flowed even more violently.

Gavin forced a smile and tried to make her feel better. "Have you been waiting for a long time?" he asked.

Wendy didn't say anything.

She only nodded with tears in her eyes.

What he said was true. She had been waiting for him to wake up since the announcement of the success of his operation.

Two days wasn't a long time.

However, in the past two days, she kept expecting and felt like it had been almost two centuries.

After two seconds, Wendy suddenly recalled something. She then shook her head and denied, "It's fine. It hasn't been very long."

She put herself in his shoes and thought that Gavin must have been trying his best to wake up in the past two days.

However, he had just had an operation, and his body was still too weak. He didn't have enough physical strength at all, so he could only sleep.

"Why would I make him feel bad at this time?

"It won't be too late to get even with him in the future!"

Gavin knew why Wendy nodded and then shook her head. Of course, he didn't know that she was going to get even with him.

Gavin decided to end the topic and reminded her, "Wendy, don't you have anything to ask me?"

He had just gone through hell. How many hardships and struggles had he gone through before he could make it back alive?

He did not believe that the little girl had nothing to ask him.

"Yes!" As expected, Wendy asked without hesitation, "Does your wound still hurt?"

Gavin didn't expect that Wendy would first ask this question.

He gave the little girl a reassuring look and said, "It hurts a little, but I can take it."

What he said was half-truthful and half false.

In fact, Gavin's wound hurt more than a little, but it was true that he could take it.

When he was a child, he often took the children of the orphanage to bully other children. When he encountered a strong enemy, he would also be seriously injured, but he never cried. He only gritted his teeth and endured it.

After he grew up, he had been following Brian and Wesley around. He had also been injured several times accidentally, but he still followed the old habit of gritting his teeth to endure his pain.

He had endured too much pain forcefully. A surgical incision was indeed nothing to him.

Wendy's voice was full of sobbing. "Can you really take it?"

Gavin knew that Wendy was worried he was forcing himself to hold on. He smiled and said, "Wendy, I can't prove it to you. However, I didn't ask the doctor to help me relieve the pain. Does it mean that I can still handle it?"

Wendy suddenly realized that it was boring to ask him this question.

"So what even if Gavin can't take it?

"I can't bear it for him."

Wendy thought for a moment. Then, she nodded and said, "I believe you."

Gavin's pale but still handsome face showed the same affection as before. He said softly, "That's all you need to do."

"I have another question." Wendy wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her line of sight finally became much clearer. She looked at Gavin and asked, "When did you wake up?

She clearly remembered that when she came back after breakfast, Gavin was still in a deep sleep.

She said a few words to him and was about to continue her review. But the moment she turned around, he was awake.

"Isn't this a little too magical?"

She couldn't help but suspect that he should have woken up before she came back after breakfast.

It was just that she didn't know it.
