Cheng's father and Meng Chanchang were chatting, their brows full of worry. No one knew if Cheng would return after this departure, and no one knew what the outcome would be.
Xiao Shi also came, leaning on a cane. He wanted to see Cheng Jiu once, but there was no chance, so he could only come to see him off.
When Captain Meng saw Xiao Shi, he lowered his voice and questioned, "Why are you here? Don't you rest well in the hospital? What's going on here?"
Xiao Shi said, "Commander Meng, you all kept it from me and didn't let me know. Even if I came to see Brother Jiu off for a while, won't you?"
Everyone knew that something had happened to Cheng Jiu, but he was kept in the dark and was still lying peacefully in the hospital. Even when Cheng Jiu wanted to return to Yongcheng, Director Meng didn't tell him and wouldn't let him come to see him off.
Meng Shanchang whispered a few words at the little brat, but in the end, he didn't stop him. He asked someone else to give him a hand, taking care of his current difficulty in walking.
But he couldn't see Cheng Jiu. Cheng Jiu was in a special situation now and had already been sent onto the plane.
Xiao Shi looked at Xin Gan again. Xin Gan also saw him. Xiao Shi walked over and said, "Miss Xin."
Xin Gan asked, "Are you injured?"
Xiao Shio nodded and said, "My injury is not serious. How is Brother Jiu?"
"Not so good." Xin Gan said truthfully, "But it will be cured. I won't give up on him."
"I didn't know that Brother Jiu had an accident. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to see him today, but I won't be able to see him by now either." "
Xin Gan gave a gentle smile and said, "It's okay. When he gets better, he'll be back. You should also take care of your health and recover as soon as possible."
Xiao Shi clenched his fist and then let it go, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Xin Gan didn't know how to comfort him either. She wasn't feeling well either, but she didn't show it. Everything was kept to herself. Cheng Jiu was in a coma. She wasn't the only one who was sad. Her family, brothers, and respected superiors all felt no less sad than her. She didn't want to cause trouble for others. Some things had to be borne by herself.
Xin Gan asked him, "How old are you?"
Xiao Shi spoke seriously, "Nineteen."
So small. Really small.
At his age, he should be studying.
Xin Gan said, "Cheng Jiu probably doesn't want to see you cry either. Don't cry."
"Well, I understand." Xiao Shi's voice choked up. He lowered his head and said, "I'm waiting for Brother Jiu to come back. He will definitely return."
Xin Gan forced a smile and followed his words, "Yes, I'll be back."
Meng Shenchang, standing by the side, did not interrupt the two of them. He heaved a deep sigh and felt a bit sad.
It wasn't long before the final boarding time arrived. Watching them leave, Captain Meng patted Xiao Shitou and said, "You little brat, if you don't take good care of your injuries in the hospital and have to run out, I'll settle this account with you when you get better."
Xiao Shi suddenly began to shed tears, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Meng Can's eyes were red and he cursed in a low voice, "Why cry so hard? With such a low level of ambition, Cheng Jiu won't be able to train you to death. A true man can only swallow his bitterness and tears. If he can't, he has to."
Xiao Shi wiped his tears hard and said, "Brother Jiu will come back, won't he?"
Meng Canchang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
No one can be sure. It depends on fate and one's own destiny.
...
Cheng's father contacted the hospital that received Cheng Jiu and had already prepared an ambulance waiting at Yongcheng Airport.
As soon as they got off the plane, the doctors and nurses immediately took the people to the car and sent them to the hospital.
Xin Gan also went along. She didn't have time to tell her family that she had come back, nor did she have time to look at her phone. She couldn't leave Cheng Jiu for even a second.
When they arrived at the hospital, Cheng's father arranged for someone to handle the hospitalization procedures and immediately sent an expert for a consultation to examine Cheng Jiu.
Xin Gan could do nothing to help, so she just waited outside the ward, her heart beating. She watched the hour hand of her watch pass by second by second, but there was still no news from the doctor.
Cheng's father said, "Why don't you go home first? You haven't been home for such a long time. Your parents should be worried about you."
Xin Gan said, "No need. I'll wait a little longer. I'll go home after the doctor comes out to check on Cheng Jiu's condition."
"Don't worry. The experts I've contacted are all authoritative ones. With them around, you can rest assured. Xin Gan, if Cheng Jiu were here, he wouldn't want to see you so exhausted either." " Cheng's father was also concerned about her, and she could see all her anxiety towards Cheng Jiu.
Xin Gan was no longer stubborn. Ok.
When she got home, seeing that her complexion was not good, Mother Xin was so heartbroken that she couldn't say a word.
He immediately ordered his aunt to make ginseng soup to nourish the pungent and sweet taste.
Xin Gan went back to her room to take a bath and change her clothes. After changing, she came out. Xin's mother waited in the room for a while, looked at her and said, "Do you still need to go to the hospital?"
On the way back, Xin Gan told Xin's mother about Cheng Jiu's situation.
Xin Gan wiped her hair and said, "Well, I'm not at ease. I'd better go to the hospital and stay with you."
"Or, just forget it?" Mother Xin said tentatively.
Xin Gan was stunned for a moment: "No way."
"It's not that Mom is selfish. It's just that Cheng Jiu's situation is so serious that he won't wake up again. What are you going to do?"
This is a fact.
Xin Mu had been thinking about this all along. She couldn't eat or sleep well and didn't want to bet on Xin Gan's future happiness.
Even if he can wake up, what if he leaves behind some incurable aftereffects? Xin Xin, you need to think it through. Mom also needs to help you think it through. Plan it step by step. It concerns your future happiness.
Xin Gan: "..." She didn't speak.
Mother Xin also knew that it was too selfish of her to say such words, but there was a reason for it. Besides, they hadn't got their marriage certificate yet and hadn't truly confirmed their relationship. So they could still turn back now.
Xin Gan dried her hair, went to the cloakroom to change her clothes, came out and looked at her mother, her tone firm: "Mom, I'm sorry. I'm not in the mood to think about these things. Let's wait until Cheng Jiu wakes up to talk about everything."
"But..."
There aren't so many "buts". He saved me, as if he were risking his life. I can't do anything wrong to him at this moment.
"Saved you?" What's going on?
Xin Gan then told her about what had happened on North Island before. She said, "He saved me more than once, Mom. I know how you feel and understand that you said this, but don't bring it up again, okay?"
Xin Mu was completely convinced and didn't stop Xin Gan any longer.
...
In the evening, the Xin couple accompanied Xin Gan to the hospital to see Cheng Ju.
Cheng's father is still in the hospital. He told them about the situation just described by the expert. It's neither too bad nor too good. An operation is still needed.
Xin Gan wanted to go into the ward to see him, but the ward couldn't accommodate too many people. So Cheng's father let Xin Gan go in by herself.
Xin Gan carefully brought over a chair and sat by the hospital bed, looking at Cheng Jiu who was unconscious. She called his name, but he didn't move. Her nose stung, and she moved closer to him, pinched his ear, and whispered, "Wake up quickly. Get well soon. I won't be indecisive anymore, nor will I hesitate."
He was injured all over his body, except for his ears which could still be touched. She didn't dare to touch any other parts.
Outside the ward, Cheng's father was talking to Xin Gan's parents. Cheng's father said, "If Cheng Jiu doesn't wake up, our marriage will have to be reconsidered."
Xin's father and mother exchanged a glance. Xin's mother felt a bit guilty and said nothing.
Father Xin said, "Cheng Jiu will wake up. Trust him."
Cheng's father wanted to laugh but couldn't. He thanked the couple for not adding fuel to the fire at this time.
...
Day by day passed, and Xin Gan took care of him in the hospital every day.
Not even going to the company.
She informed the HR department of her resignation in advance. They said they would ask Mr. Song because she was introduced in by Song Chen.
When she was waiting for her reply, Shen Ruxin called. After she picked it up, she heard Shen Ruxin say, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Xin Gan pursed her lips.
Xin Xin, are you in the hospital now? Which hospital? I'll go and find you.
Xin Gan gave the address and then sat silently outside the ward.
During this period of time, she had never broken down and had been enduring all along. When Shen Ruxin came to the hospital, as soon as they met, she hugged her, patted her on the shoulder and said gently, "Song Chen said you took a long leave and I couldn't get in touch with you. I went to ask my aunt and only then did I learn that this had happened to Cheng Jiu." You too. Why didn't you tell me?
Xin Gan blinked her eyes and pretended to smile as if nothing had happened.
Shen Ruxin examined her face and patted her head, saying, "You feel very uncomfortable, don't you?"
"It's okay. Not at all."
"Still being stubborn, I don't know you yet." Shen Ruxin was so furious that she pinched her cheek and asked, "How is Cheng Jiu doing now?"
I haven't woken up yet. I need to have an operation in a few days because there is a blood clot in my brain and there are symptoms of compression. The doctor said that I need to have an operation to remove it.
Shen Ruxin touched her cheek with concern and said, "The doctor said so. Don't worry. He will definitely get better."
Xin Gan smiled and said, "Cousin, you don't need to comfort me. I'm fine."
Xin Xin, I'm not sad. Look at you, you've lost so much weight.
"I'm fine. The main thing is that it would be great if he woke up soon."
...
Cheng Jiu's surgery is scheduled for the end of the month, and it will be carried out soon at the end of the month.
The Cheng family members all came. They were as anxious as Xin Gan, feeling uneasy and waiting anxiously.
Although Xin Gan was calm, she couldn't resist the surging unease in her heart. She couldn't even sit still.
The Cheng family was not doing well either. For a moment, no one cared about the other and no one dared to speak. They waited anxiously outside the operating room.
Shen Ruxin also came with Coco. She wanted to divert Xin Gan's attention and not worry too much.
At this moment, Coco came into play. She kept lying on Xin Gan's lap without saying a word, holding Xin Gan's face with her little hands and blowing carefully.
Xin Gan asked her in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"Blow, blow. Coco won't be sad if she blows to Auntie."
Xin Gan bent down and kissed her cheek, saying, "Coco is so well-behaved, but Auntie is not very sad. Coco doesn't need to blow a whistle to me."
Coco said, "Auntie lied. Auntie is very sad. Mom said that the more Auntie is sad, the less she talks. Not talking means being sad. Coco felt heartbroken. Auntie is not sad, not sad."
Xin Gan really didn't know she was like this. She was stunned for a moment, pinched Coco's face and said, "I'm not sad. With Coco, the little sweetie, around, how could I be sad?"
Coco nodded vigorously, "That's more or less the same."
It was not until after ten o 'clock at night that the operation was completed. The doctor pushed open the door and came out, saying, "The operation went smoothly. All that's left is to wait."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
It's good that everything goes smoothly.
It was getting late by now. Cheng's father called a driver to take Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Hui home to rest. Cheng Hui didn't want to leave and insisted on staying. Cheng's father couldn't persuade her and let her stay.
Xin's father and mother stayed for another half an hour before being sent home by Xin Gan.
Xin Gan was still in the hospital accompanying Cheng Jiu and didn't want to go back. Shen Ruxin didn't want to persuade her, so she let her be. Ke Ke couldn't stay up late and had already fallen asleep. Shen Ruxin carried Ke Ke and left first.
Cheng Hui didn't seem to have much energy either, feeling extremely nervous. After waiting for the adults to leave for a moment, he asked Xin Gan, "Sister Xin, when will my brother wake up?" Did the doctor say anything?
The doctor is not sure either. I don't know when he will wake up either.
Xin Gan sighed, feeling very powerless.
Cheng Hui's eyes were red and her voice was still hoarse. "I won't quarrel with him anymore. I'll be good from now on."
Xin Gan patted her on the shoulder consolingly.
Cheng's father hired a professional caregiver to take care of Cheng Jiu 24 hours a day. After some time, the doctor instructed the caregiver to give Cheng Hui muscle massages when he was free to prevent muscle atrophy due to prolonged immobility.
Xin Gan also learned and gave him a massage. Of course, his technique was not as good as that of a professional caregiver. After doing it for a while, he made a lot of progress.
