Almost two hours later, the operation finally stopped.
The door revealed the doctor who was wearing green and took off his mask. His eyes moved to gaze at the crowd in front of him and his voice became a bit serious:
"The patient's condition has been stabilized. She suffered from a concussion and I had to stitch her head to stop the bleeding." Once his words fell, everyone outside the operating room breathed a sigh of relief, however, the doctor wasn't done yet. "Don't be relieved just yet since the patient didn't suffer from concussion only."
Manager Chu's heart heavily thudded in his chest.
He couldn't find his voice to speak and ask the doctor.
It was Ran Xueyi, who came forward to ask the doctor:
"Doctor, what do you mean?"
The doctor relayed everything to the crowd and his voice became severe, "A blunt force struck her left leg, resulting in tissue damage. Also, a nerve in her spinal cord received trauma from the accident so we had to do something about it before things could get any worse."

p "In any case, she's safe now and should continuously receive medical treatment for the next three months for her to recover. But I cannot say if she could walk normally after recovery."
A thunderous news shocked the entire crowd and they all desperately stared at the doctor for more information.
Especially, Manager Chu, who finally reacted faster and grabbed the doctor's arm and demandedly asked, "Are you saying that she might not walk? But didn't you say that she's not stable?"
The doctor didn't already experience such a scene in the past where a family member reacted like this and as a doctor, he had to overstretch his patience.
He patted Manager Chu's shoulder once and also took off the hand that had grabbed him. He then answered, "That is true. The patient will wake up in the next hour or few hours. However, her legs suffered from a trauma and so does her spinal cord. We will need to monitor her condition for the first week to see what we can do. But I must still prepare you for the worst and that would be the patient's inability to walk again."
After the doctor said everything to them, he walked away, unobstructed.
The group, however, felt like something was stuck inside their throat and they didn't know how to continue after what they heard.

Chief Producer Li, as the one who had the highest authority in the group, had to go and pay for the hospital bills. He excused himself first since he also had to manage and calm the rest of the crew in the set.
Director Qing left with him, leaving Ran Xueyi and her assistant with Manager Chu.
...
A few hours later.
Inside a private room inside the hospital, Zhilan woke up dizzily. Ran Xueyi coincidentally saw this while she exited the restroom and came to the side of the bed and softly greeted her.
"Xiao Zhi, how are you feeling?"
"Sister Ran?" Zhilan's voice came out like a whisper.
After a while, Manage Chu and Ran Xueyi sat beside the bed and asked Zhilan how she was feeling. The doctor and a nurse also checked her status before leaving a few minutes later.
Feeling that something was wrong, Zhilan had to ask Manager Chu what had happened. Manager Chu's heart broke upon hearing her question, but no matter how many excuses and lies he told her, Zhilan didn't believe him and told him something that forced him to say the truth:
"Brother Chu... Is that why I can't feel my legs?"
Sadly, Zhilan was very calm even after Manager Chu told him everything that had happened and what the doctor told them.
She calmly looked down at her unfeeling legs and not even a tear fell from her eyes as she asked Manager Chu to leave her for a second.
Not wanting to leave her alone to herself, Manager Chu asked Ran Xueyi to stay with her inside the room.
Finally, sobs could be heard inside the hospital room.
Ran Xueyi waited until Zhilan's sobs slowed down and decreased in volume before she handed her a tissue.
Zhilan thanked her, but her tears started to fall again. "What do I do, Sister Ran? Am I really going to be unable to walk again? No... I don't want that! I still want to act... I still didn't even finish my scenes with you..."
Ran Xueyi felt her heartstrings twisting at the soft, broken voice.

"Xiao Zhi, the doctors are only assuming the worst and didn't the doctor tell you earlier that for as long as you receive therapy, you will regain your ability to walk again. I'm sure you will be able to walk again."
"But... What if it doesn't work? What if I can never walk?"
Ran Xueyi's eyes were filled with sadness as she wiped the tears on Zhilan's face and replied, "Don't think of the what ifs... Actually, I have someone I know who helped other people to walk again. I'll refer you to him again so don't lose hope."

When Ran Xueyi left the hospital, Feng Huai felt that the atmosphere inside the car was a little bit stiff. He looked at the rearview mirror a few times and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to comfort her.
"Xiao Feng, do you have something you want to say?"
Feng Huai hesitated before nodding his head. He steered the wheels and parked one the side of the road. Seems like it was going to be a long conversation.
Feng Huai's eyebrows drew close to each other as he reached for his tablet and handed it over to her. "Just after Zhilan was dragged inside of the operation room, someone posted a picture of her with her face blurred. They also took a picture of the accident and wrote some unsightly things under the post."
Ran Xueyi's dropped down her eyelids and looked down at the tablet.
[Anonymous Star Gossiper: At 11:30 in the morning, an accident happened in Silver City. The accident took place in the middle of the main road and it turned into a traffic accident. Many people were injured and sent to the hospital. At first, when I saw the photo, there was an ambulance in the middle of the road and I thought that it came to respond to the accident.
But who could have known that an actress, whom I will call Actress Z, is actually inside? Isn't this a bit too much? She gets VIP treatment and gets to the hospital first before the other patients?
Isn't this a bit unfair? If you're an influential figure, you can get a VIP treatment to use an ambulance to the hospital faster!
I remember that there was also a rumor that she stole somebody's role recently. This actress Z must be someone with a background and connection to the hospital.
Anyway, today, I'm done sharing this event. So everyone can discuss this freely in the comments below!]
Ran Xueyi tossed the tablet to the side and pondered for a moment.
She was silent for a while and it was only Feng Huai, who first asked the question: "We only received the news after a crew member told us and at that time, Zhilan was already inside the operation room. How did this person take a picture already?"
