Even on the second day, Huo Chang Yuan did not leave the ward.
He really made Jiang Fang bring all the documents that he needed to review to the hospital, and arranged a makeshift desk on the tea table. It was hard on Jiang Fang, so he ran over to the hospital three times a day.
There was no other way, he had to persuade her otherwise and he had to guard against Li Jiang Nan coming over personally.
Lin Wan Bai did not dare to say more, afraid that someone who accidentally twisted the dragon's whisker would get into trouble.
His gaze drifted to the vase on the windowsill. The perfume lily from yesterday had been thrown out by him long ago. Now, a bottle of rose that was bright red like fire was inserted slowly into it. The fragrance of the flower filled the entire ward.
The door of the ward closed once again. Huo Chang Yuan had just finished sending the nurse who came to change.
He did not return to the sofa but instead pulled out a chair beside the sickbed, frowning slightly as he told her, "Wan, Uncle Lu has woken up."
Different from her, after Lu Xue Lin left the operation room, he was immediately pushed into the Intensive Care Unit. He had to observe for 48 hours to make sure there was no danger before he could come out.
"Is he okay?" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips.
"The operation was very successful. The doctor said that there are no signs of rejection. After that, as long as the treatment is combined with drugs, the liver's function will gradually return to normal!" Huo Chang Yuan answered in a low voice, then paused and continued, "Uncle Lu knows about the liver transplant, I want to see you!"
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, he remained silent.
However, Lu Xue Lin was different. Her body was weak and old, so she could only stay in the sickbed for the time being. Hence, she was unable to come over to see her …
After hesitating for a long time in her heart, she slowly nodded. "After these two bags of medicine are finished hanging, you will accompany me there …"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
After an hour and a half, Lin Wan Bai and Huo Chang Yuan arrived at an advanced ward at the end of the corridor.
The main doctor who was wearing a white gown was inside the ward. He seemed to be taking Lu Xue Lin's blood pressure, but Lu Jing Xue was not there, but Ruan Zheng Mei was standing on the other side of the bed.
Seeing the latter, Lin Wan Bai stopped in his tracks, subconsciously wanting to wait until there was no one else before coming back.
But in the end, she did not flinch. She bent her finger and knocked twice on the door.
Hearing the voice, the first person to look over was Lu Xue Lin. His expression became excited, and immediately waved away the apparatus the doctor was about to examine.
The attending doctor, seeing this, left with the nurse.
When Ruan Zheng Mei saw her, his expression immediately became unsightly, but it seemed like he was worried about something and did not show it too clearly. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Uncle Lu wants to see her." Huo Chang Yuan answered lightly for her.
Lin Wan Bai looked at Lu Xue Lin who was lying on the sickbed with his chest slightly rising and falling from excitement. She took a deep breath and looked at Ruan Zheng Mei with both of her hands lightly clenched.
Although it would be a bit impolite, but after the truth was revealed …
"You —" Ruan Zheng Mei pointed at her in displeasure.
Lu Xue Lin looked at his wife and said, "Little Mei!"
Ruan Zheng Mei frowned upon seeing her husband, and could only unwillingly say, "I understand!"
When she walked out of the ward, Huo Chang Yuan even went forward to close the door.
Lin Wan Bai's legs were a bit stiff, and he still returned. Huo Chang Yuan held her shoulders lightly, and after shouting "gale", she turned around in panic to see his thin lips curling up. Only then did he seem to have gained power, and slowly walked towards the bed.
Lu Xue Lin was unable to sit up, and could only stare at her as she walked towards him.
In fact, he woke up the next morning after the operation, but he was too weak to even speak for a long time, and the doctor had advised him to rest until morning, when he was transferred to the intensive care unit.
Liver transplantation in vivo...
When Lu Xue Lin heard about it, he was extremely shocked!
Watching her walk to the sickbed and sit down, Lu Xue Lin's gaze never left her face.
Lu Xue Lin seemed to want to control his emotions very much, but the moment he said it, his voice went out of tune, and he choked with emotion, "How could it be, you are actually Chuchu's and my child! "I am Chuchu's child..."
"It has been more than three months since I met you in Canada. We have met countless times, and I even found out that Chuchu was your mother. However, I never thought that you would be my daughter!" At the end, his eyes flashed with tears. Other than benevolence and warmth, there was also joy and guilt. There was even a hint of sorrow that could not be concealed.
Lin Wan Bai was the same as him as well, she couldn't believe it …
She let out a deep breath in her chest, allowing her strained throat to ease up a little, and slowly said, "I was just a chance by chance, knowing that I might not be the daughter of the Lin Clan."
"Later on, after I got along with you, that German translation novel and that poem, I realized that the first lover you speak of was actually my mother. My father said that when mother married him back then, she was already pregnant, and there were too many coincidences involved, which made me suspect that you might be related to me by blood. Until Huo Chang Yuan took out the paternity test and confirmed that we were father and daughter …"
Huo Chang Yuan had asked her before if he wanted to accept Lu Xue Lin's question, but she didn't answer him at that time.
But when she came to the hospital and decided to do a liver transplant, she was already a disguised recognition.
Lu Xue Lin also remembered. That day, Huo Chang Yuan suddenly came to the Lu family, and when he was about to leave, he patted his head, saying that there was something on it, that it must be for an appraisal!
The girl he had known since his first meeting, was actually his own daughter, and she had just donated her liver to him 48 hours ago. However, in these 20 years, he had never known of her existence, nor had he ever doted upon her one day.
In addition to the joy of knowing that he and his beloved had a daughter, there was also a deep bitterness. Even at his age, he felt his nose sour and his heart stifled.
"Chuchu, why are you hiding this from me? Why didn't you tell me?" Lu Xue Lin said in a mournful voice, "You kept it from me so much. Since you are pregnant with my child, why did you propose to break up with me and marry someone else!"
If he knew that she was pregnant, he would definitely not let go and would definitely pester her to the end. Even if she had already married to someone else, he would still take her away regardless of anything.
Lin Wan Bai shook her head lightly, and said slowly, "It is impossible for me to know all of this, but what I do know is that she has never forgotten about you. "My dad said that my mom didn't actually love him. She always kept others in her heart until the moment she died, and that person was you …"
Hearing her call someone else 'father', Lu Xue Lin felt very bad in his heart as well.
Lin Wan Bai turned his head and looked to his side, "Huo Chang Yuan, where is the novel that I wanted?"
"Here." Huo Chang Yuan took it out from his chest.
This was what she had mentioned to him earlier that morning, that Uncle Li had brought the bowl of soup when he was giving it to her.
Lin Wan Bai caressed the cover of the novel, then opened it, and handed the bookmark to him with his finger twisted, "This German translation of the novel is something my mother left for me, I will now leave it for you to think about!"
"When I was very young, my mother used to read it, almost every night. There were bookmarks as well, and she was always staring at the words on it in a daze. I think she was thinking about you …"
Lu Xue Lin touched the words on the bookmark, his fingers uncontrollably trembling.
If you don't think of each other in your lifetime, then you will think of each other.
Looking at the words that he had written himself many years ago, Lu Xue Lin felt as if his heart had been grabbed by an invisible hand and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
As his vision drifted into a trance, Lu Xue Lin seemed to see that young girl from his memories again. Back at the airport, he had hugged her tightly and told her about his love for her again and again by her ear.
The overlapping of memories and reality caused the corners of his eyes to suddenly turn moist. He bitterly smiled and muttered, "But, where do we send our love? "Hehe, love is endless, love is endless, love is everywhere …"
