I didn't hear Bai Zhi's question. The only thought in my head was that my father had acute liver cancer, or was in its late stages. He is my last family member in this world, is he going to leave me now?
"Sister Shui Er, what's wrong? Are you okay? " In a daze, it seemed that someone was shaking my body.
"Shui Er, come quickly. Look, that's an airplane. That's the plane on TV. " It was a familiar voice, with a familiar memory and smell.
I was only two or three years old, my baby teeth still raw, and I giggled. Father and I were in the courtyard of our house, and he let out a cheerful laugh.
So happy, me at that time, and my father at that time. At that time, everything was beautiful.
The sunset glow on the horizon was brilliant and dazzling. The specks of dusk were warm and intoxicating.
When I woke up from my dream, I saw that there were still a few drops hanging by my bed. Oh, I just remembered that I passed out because I was too excited. It was a strange dream. Because I saw the distant past. That was more than 20 years ago. But even though I don't have the memory of that time when I was awake, I saw it in my dreams. Was this the mercy of the heavens? I'd rather not.
Bai Zhi sat beside me. I looked at her red-rimmed eyes. My sudden fainting must have frightened her.
"Sister Shui Er, you're awake. How about it? Are you feeling better? " Bai Zhi asked me.
I just felt physically and mentally exhausted and didn't want to do anything, didn't want to move a muscle.
"Ah Zhi, do me a favor!" I said dejectedly. However, the tone of the words surprised even me. Is … is this the tone I use?
How did it become like this?
"Sister Shui Er, your voice, you …" When Bai Zhi saw my gaze, she withdrew her words. "Alright, Sister Shui Er, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Bai Zhi asked. She dried her eyes, not wanting me to be moved by her grief. As a nurse, Bai Zhi knew better than I did the effect of the patient's friend's sadness on the patient.
"Go and make me some soup! Suitable for patients with advanced liver cancer. " I said dispiritedly to Bai Zhi.
"Mn," Bai Zhi wiped her tears away. "Sister Shui Er, just you wait, I'll go now." Bai Zhi didn't ask me anything, but she immediately went to cook the soup for me. I was glad that Bai Zhi didn't ask me anything. If she asks me, I don't know how to answer her.
I lay in my hospital bed and tried to recall what I remembered of my father. My father seemed to be a little blurred, but I could still remember most of it.
How could I have forgotten him? I haven't seen him in a long time.
I was regretting it when the door swung open. I saw Gu Shaoyu run in.
"Shui Er, I received a call from Bai Zhi. What's the matter with you? You got into the hospital just like that? " Gu Shao Yu came over and held my hand as he asked in concern.
At this moment, the strength I pretended to be was unable to continue any longer. I was disintegrated by Gu Shaoyu's gentleness. I threw myself into Gu Shaoyu's arms and started wailing.
"Shao Yu, Shao Yu, my dad has advanced stage liver cancer, he, he's going to die." I cried. I cried very happily. This is the first time I am crying in someone else's arms so relievedly. I didn't cry no matter how Bai Zhi and Han Chen asked me before, but when I faced Gu Shaoyu, I couldn't help but cry, as if that was what I was thinking in my heart. When I met with difficulties, I couldn't help but lean towards Gu Shaoyu's side.
"It's fine, it's fine." Gu Shao Yu patted my back. Lying in his embrace, I actually felt an inexplicable sense of security. This hug was so warm! I was a little lustful of him and didn't want to let go.
"Don't worry. With me here, I will find the best doctor to treat your father's illness!" Gu Shaoyu comforted me.
I solemnly looked at Gu Shaoyu, "Did I tell you that my father is a prisoner?" I looked at him, afraid to find a hint of disdain in Gu Shaoyu's eyes. "My father was locked up for tax evasion." "No," I said.
"I know, when you first appeared before me, I had someone investigate your background." Gu Shaoyu's answer shocked me. I looked at him in disbelief. So he knows everything. He actually sent someone to investigate me. But what shocked me the most was that since Gu Shaoyu knew about my family background, why would he still be with me?
Why is he like this, or is he willing to be with me? I didn't dare ask him why. I was afraid I'd get an answer I couldn't stand. Especially at a time like this, I didn't dare ask him.
Gu Shao Yu went out to make a few phone calls, and when he returned, he smiled and told me, "Don't worry, I've already said that your father will go to the hospital for treatment. The hospital he's staying in is this hospital."
Hearing Gu Shaoyu say this, my heart also lit up. With such a person by my side, what can I not be satisfied with? What was there to be afraid of?
I had a sudden desire to see my father. What would his father be like now?
The next day, under the swift arrangements of Gu Shao Yu, I met my father. He looked older than ever as he lay in his hospital bed. His face was pale and his cheeks were thin. His eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't look too comfortable.
The police said that since he was a prisoner, they had given him a tranquilizer just to be on the safe side. My father will wake up when the medicine is over.
