The lights in the operating room went out. The doctor came out, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, we've tried our best, but the patient's rejection cannot be stopped. It's only two or three days now."
It will only be two or three days. Please accompany her properly …
As if she was dreaming, Shu Shu couldn't accept this news at all. She held onto the doctor's arm, preventing him from leaving, "Doctor, you must have lied to me. My mother was clearly fine, but she even told me that the results of the examination were normal. Was there a mistake? "
The doctor corrected her, "It looks like she's been hiding this from you. I've repeatedly reminded her to hurry up and go to the hospital, but she has always politely refused. However, I can understand why she would want to live for a few more months."
"What did you say, Doctor?" It seemed that her mother had kept many things from her.
The doctor sighed and said, "Two months after she had the operation, there was rejection again. Considering her body condition, she could only use medicine to control it, but the situation wasn't optimistic. At that time, I told her that if it took at least a year, it would take at least half a year. Sigh, she gave up on the treatment a long time ago, so she wouldn't even get half a year."
Shu Shu grabbed the doctor's sleeve, not letting go. "That won't happen, doctor. Please save my mother, I beg you …" As she said this, she kneeled down with a thump. A crisp sound came from the stiff and cold floor. "Doctor, please save my mother. Please."
The doctor took hold of her and said awkwardly, "We've tried our best to get you up. Don't do that."
The doctor and nurse pulled her to her feet, and she stumbled inside. She saw the pale face of her mother on the bed, smiling at her, and she threw herself at the bed, crying, "Mom, why didn't you tell me, why …"
"Foolish child, one year is death, half a year is death, three months is also death, why waste money?" Shunning didn't have much strength, and her breath was weak, but she still tried her best to smile and speak.
"Mom, I'm the one who let you down. I'm the one who was unfilial and did so many wrong things."
"It's not your fault …" Shuning slowly closed his eyes, then forced them open. "Mom is so tired. I want to rest a bit."
Shu Shu panicked. She turned around to look at the nurse beside the apparatus. The nurse said lightly, "Her kidney function has already failed. She is already very tired. Let her sleep for a while."
"Mom …" She hesitated, afraid that her mother would never get up.
Shu Ning gave a knowing smile. "Mom can still take it. It's fine." With that, Shu Ning slowly closed her eyes.
The snowstorm outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the entire night sky was a warm yellow color. Large snowflakes like goose feathers were falling from the sky, very quickly covering the land with a thick blanket.
The sudden heavy snow had brought pleasant surprise and disaster to the city. Due to the heavy snow, all the people who went out to play were rushing home. Due to the heavy snow, their vision became blurry and the road became slippery, causing the collision of six cars at the back. It was also because of this heavy snow that Ling Qiao was stuck on the road.
Shu-Ning was asleep in the ICU. She could not stay with her family, so she could only wait outside.
There were also a few other people standing guard outside. Some of them were crying until their eyes were bloodshot, while some of them had wooden expressions on their faces. These people's family members were all inside, engaged in a desperate battle with the Grim Reaper.
No matter what identity they had, no matter where they had come from, everyone felt the same way.
A nurse came to chase them away and advised, "Everyone, go back to sleep. It's very cold here in this cold weather."
However, no one answered him, and no one left.
The nurse shook her head, sighed, and went back inside.
"Hello, Doctor Lin, it's me!" Ling Qiao looked at the road that had been blocked so that not even a drop of water could trickle through. There was nothing he could do. "How is Shu Shu's mother?"
"Not good. It could be in the next few days."
"Where's your comfort zone?"
"She refused to let her rest in my office. She was very stubborn."
"I'm on the road, and I'm blocked. Please help me take care of her and her mother no matter what."
"Mm, you can rest assured about this."
Doctor Lin hung up the phone and turned around to speak to Tang Xiuqing, "Ling Qiao, you're stuck halfway. You won't be able to come back for a while, is your foot still hurting?"
"Thank you, Dr. Lin. It's much better with the painkillers."
"That's good. If you have something to say, call me. I have to go see Shu Shu's mother."
"Sure, go ahead."
After the lights in the ward were turned off, Tang Thirty-Six switched on the bedside lamp and slowly got off the bed. He groped his way to the wheelchair and left the room.
In the dead of night, the elevator's sound was particularly loud. Everyone looked inside, to see Tang Congee in her wheelchair, sticking her head out of the elevator, but she didn't come out.
Tang Xiuqing saw ShuShu at first glance and waved at her.
Shu Shu really didn't want to talk to her. The feelings between women were very subtle, even more subtle between two women who loved the same man. What was the use of this, Shu Shu didn't want to know at all.
"Shu Shu, come over here for a moment!" Tang Beiqing's voice wasn't loud, but in this place, it was very disturbing.
Shu Shu made things difficult for her as she looked at her big brother who was napping by her side. She suddenly woke up. If she didn't go with Tang Qing, she didn't know what would happen to her.
The elevator slowly descended, and in the narrow space, the atmosphere was stifling.
After finding a corner where no one else was, Tang Siqing used her finger to wipe away the mist on the window. She looked at the snow flying outside and sighed with emotion, "This snow is really big. In the winter of T City, there has never been snow this big … "Ling Qiao is still stuck on the road …" Tang Xiao Qing raised her head and looked at Shu Shu. "He went out to buy congee for me. I said I wanted to eat technical dry shellfish congee, so he went without a second word."
When her mother was critically ill, she did not put these provocative words in her eyes at all, "If you only want to say how good Ling Qiao is to you and how much he loves you, then you don't need to say anymore. I don't want to hear it and it's not my business."
"Shu Shu …" "I'm sorry, I didn't want to break you apart. I also didn't want to be the third party, but Ling Qiao really made it impossible for me to refuse. As for me, I never forgot about him." My feet are already crippled. What qualifications do I have to have him again? Shu Shu, I originally planned to give up. I … "
"Tang Shuiqing!" Shu Shu berated her loudly. "Listening to you speak, it's so disgusting. Don't come looking for me. If you don't want to fall down, you'll have to rely on me!" She shook off her hand and strode away.
There was a sense of being humiliated and wronged in her eyes, but this grievance could be exchanged for the person she loved the most. She was willing to accept this.
By the time Ling Qiao returned to the hospital, it was already midnight. Seeing that the people waiting in the ward had already extinguished, she handed the porridge over to the nurse. "Leave one for me in the morning. Give the other one to heat up for me now, thank you."
The moment the elevator door opened, he heard the loud wailing coming from within the corridor. Ling Qiao felt his heart tighten as he worriedly followed the sound with his eyes.
The person crying was a middle-aged woman. Her husband was working at the construction site, and he accidentally fell from a tall building while doing his homework. She had just received news from the custody room that her husband had already left, but she did not see him for the last time.
As the women cried and cried for injustice, many of them secretly shed tears, wondering if the next person to be notified would be their family.
A few nurses were comforting the family and leading the women into the ward. They chatted for a while and gradually quieted down.
ShuShu saw Ling Qiao walk out of the elevator. With his tall figure and outstanding temperament, she was simply unable to ignore him.
Ling Qiao held the freshly cooked congee in his hand. Looking at her haggard and pale face, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He walked towards her, "It's one o'clock, go take a rest. There's a doctor and nurse watching inside. Nothing will happen …" You have to take care of your mother, don't you? "
ShuShu's head felt heavy and her feet felt light as she stood on the floor of the room. No matter what, she should give Ling Qiao an explanation. She silently nodded her head.
Ling Qiao opened up his arms and gently hugged her. Warm lips kissed her forehead. Damn it, she seemed to have a little fever.
Walking out of the hospital, the snowstorm didn't stop. Ling Qiao unbuttoned his coat and wrapped his petite wife in his arms. Like a stray cat who has found a warm home, Shu-Shu clung to his warm chest.
Ling Qiao helped her to sit down and touched the porridge in the bag. Fortunately, it was still warm. "Wife, you drink some porridge. I'll go put in a bath."
In the end, it was a five-star hotel. The air conditioning in the room was on full blast, and the temperature inside the room was about 20 degrees Celsius. It didn't feel cold at all.
ShuShu held the bowl of congee in both hands. The take-out bag even had the word "food restaurant" printed on it. She opened the lid and smiled. This was the dry shellfish congee Tang Shuqing wanted to eat, right?
She had once said that Tang Thirty-Six was Little Three, but when she thought about it carefully, she was Little Three, she was the unnecessary person. She shouldn't have appeared in his life to disrupt their relationship.
If she hadn't had this ridiculous baby marriage, if she hadn't made a deal with Liu Ziye, then this wedding wouldn't have happened. If Tang Qing had been injured and was able to rebuild the marriage with Ling Qiao, that would have been a great thing. But now, it was all because of her that the three parties were in pain.
She had only agreed to this marriage because she wanted to save her mother. If her mother left just like that, she really didn't know what reason she would have to stay.
She lied, but she meant no harm. She did not want to hurt anyone, she only wanted her mother's illness to be cured; she lied, and before she could explain it to Ling Qiao, it was revealed that she had become a liar and a gold digger. She lied, and even her mother was hidden from her.
As she thought of this, her tears began to flow again. The feeling of heartache quietly invaded her entire body and soul.
The sound of water splashing could be heard in the bathroom. Ling Qiao walked out and saw that Shu Shu had been holding onto the porridge without moving, so he knew that she must be feeling uncomfortable again.
"Wife, eat some. This won't do." He squatted by her legs and looked at her tenderly.
Shu Shu also stared blankly at Ling Qiao in front of him. This was a handsome and charming face, why did it look so good the more she looked at it …
"What's wrong? Where did it hurt? "Tell me."
"Ling Qiao, aren't you going to ask me? About the news. "
Of course, Ling Qiao wanted to ask. He had many questions and he wanted to ask her about many things that had happened in the past six months. However, seeing her despondent appearance, he couldn't bear to do so. He knew that her lying and concealing must have something to do with her mother's illness.
