Li Shinian sat quietly as if she did not hear him.
He himself was not a talkative person, so if Li Shinian did not answer, he would not have any thoughts of opening his mouth.
The two of them remained silent until Su Qiao An came out of the bathroom.
Seeing the two of them busy themselves with their own matters and ignoring each other, she felt a little awkward.
Su Qiao An sat on a chair and would occasionally chat with Li Shinian. Li Shinian would reply with a few words as well, but he didn't say much.
They were waiting here because Li Quan asked them to look after him. If they had to leave, they would have to wait until Li Quan returned from his office.
In the doctor's office.
Li Quan asked, "You mean she should return to the hospital where she underwent surgery to have a proper check-up?"
"Yes, we did a brain exam for the Miss Li. She seems to have undergone at least 2 large operations. Honestly speaking, we are surprised that she is still able to move around so freely."
"Is it because she had a craniotomy that you feel the need to go back and examine her?"
"No." The doctor said seriously, "The blood clot on Miss Li's brain seems to be slowly dissipating. This should be because the blood clot is slowly recovering under the control of the medicine, but there is a soybean-sized lump below the blood clot, I'm afraid that it might be a tumor …"
"What?" Li Quan could not believe what he had just heard, "Tumor? "No, impossible …"
"Mr Li, we are also not willing to believe, but this concerns our lives, so we have to be more cautious. I suggest that you quickly bring Miss Li back to the original hospital for a detailed examination, and there are the complete medical records for Miss Li, and also people who performed surgery on Miss Li. They must be more familiar with Miss Li's body quality and condition."
"That tumor …" Li Quan uttered with difficulty, "Will it be dangerous to her life?"
"It's hard to say. I think you should take her back there for a detailed examination."
Bring Li Shinian back?
Even if he was willing, Li Shinian would probably be unwilling.
She was an adult, not a child.
He didn't want to tell Li Shinian the bad news at all. He was afraid that Li Shinian wouldn't be able to accept it, and was even more afraid that she would do something stupid because of this.
A dark dot the size of a soybean.
It wasn't that big, but it grew right in the middle of the brain, which was really annoying.
Not only was it an eyesore, that small bump on his forehead could turn into something that would affect Li Shinian's life at any moment.
Li Quan returned to the ward with a heavy heart. At the door to the ward, he hesitated and didn't go in for a long time.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
After opening the door and entering, he saw Li Shinian who was sitting quietly, like an exquisite doll. He forcefully pursed his lips, trying to make himself look better, and also trying to make his expression look no different than usual.
"Mr Li, you're back." Su Qiao An stood up.
Li Quan nodded his head, he was too preoccupied with his own matters so he did not bother about Su Yun's way of addressing him.
Seeing that Li Quan's thoughts were all on Li Shinian, Su Qiao An tactfully did not say much.
He only said, "Since you're back, then we'll leave first."
"Take care", Li Quan did not urge them to stay.
Su Qiao An was the first to leave, and before Zhu Jiangci left, he subconsciously glanced at Li Shinian.
Her eyes were empty and lifeless. She had no idea what was on her mind, as if nothing in the world could affect her.
He withdrew his gaze and walked out, closing the door behind him.
"Xiao Nian?"
"What did the doctor say?" Li Shinian asked.
"Nothing, just tell me that your diet is lighter these days, and then pay more attention to rest, don't be tired."
"It's that simple?"
"Of course, or how complicated do you think it is? "You passed out because you were too agitated. Since you're not in a good condition, you should be more careful in the future. You ran around by yourself last night, causing us to look for you for the whole night. It's a good thing you're fine."
"Li Quan, I had a dream."
"Hmm?" Li Quan listened patiently.
Li Shinian said, "I dreamed that a little kid came to say goodbye to me. He called me mother and said that I did not remember him, and that he would not look for me in the future. When he disappeared, I felt that here …"
"It was just a dream."
"But it's too real, as if it had happened before. I can't ignore the pain." This was also the reason why she was unwilling to speak when she woke up.
Li Quan gently caressed her smooth hair as he consoled her with a gentle voice, "Dreams are very real, because it seems like you are in the real world, but that was just a dream. Reality is reality, don't be silly. When you walk out of that dream, you will understand that all of it is no big deal.
"Really?" But why was she so heartbroken?
Pain to the point of suffocating his heart.
"Un, it's true," Li Quan came closer and gently embraced her into his embrace. She nestled her head against his abdomen, and his hands caressed her smooth and long hair time and time again, "Those unhappy things have already passed, there's nothing much to think about. Dreams are only dreams, they won't become reality.
She needed a place that she could temporarily rely on.
"Xiao Nian, let's get married as soon as possible, okay?"
"..." "Why?"
"Don't you want to marry me? In any case, after the engagement, you will be tied up with me, so we might as well just get married, okay? " Li Quan said, "After we get married, we will go out for our honeymoon. At that time, you can go wherever you want to play."
She had thought about Li Quan's future.
She had convinced herself that since the future would not change, it did not matter who she was with.
Even if she had, when Li Quan actually brought up the matter of marriage, she hesitated.
She didn't seem as free and easy as she had imagined.
"Li Quan, I …"
"Shh!" Li Quan interrupted her, "If you don't need to give me the answer, I will wait for you. Tell me when you are willing to give me the answer."
Originally, he had only planned to get engaged in accordance with the rules. As for the matter of the marriage, he would think about it later. It was also possible that there would be a day in the future when he felt that it was inappropriate for them to get married together again.
But now that he knew about Li Shinian's physical condition, he seemed to have understood Li Zhenting's thoughts.
Li Zhenting was so anxious to find someone to accompany him, perhaps it was also because Li Shinian's body was in a bad condition. He hoped that someone would take good care of Li Shinian in the future, right?
Strangely, after he found out about Li Shinian's true body condition, the first thing that appeared in his mind wasn't to cancel the marriage, but rather, to quickly confirm the relationship between the two of them.
