Cheng Hao listened to Shengge's anxious voice and clenched his cell phone with a solemn expression. The life and death moments of the car accident echoed in his ears. Zhou Ye protected him with his body, and only the words that were too weak to be heard were left in his ears:
"Take...take care of...Shengsheng...".
He knew that with Zhou Ye's personality he wouldn't want Shengge to know what was happening, but how could he hide it?
Seeing that Cheng Hao was silent, Shengge became more uneasy and asked urgently:
"Something happened on Saturday night, right?"
"No," Cheng Hao said in a panic, "No, he is just busy right now...".
"You lied!" Shengge said firmly with palpitations: "No matter how busy he is and seeing all my missed calls and messages, he will still find time to reply to me."
She was so flustered that she started to put on her coat. Her voice was urgent and she stopped asking questions and continued:
"Where are you? I'm going to find you now."
Cheng Hao immediately refused with a guilty conscience: "You are not allowed to go out so late."
"Then you ask me to call me back on Zhou Ye."
Shengge was about to cry. He would never ignore her like this. She sent so many messages and made so many phone calls, but there was no reply at all.
He won't do this. Something must have happened.
"Cheng Hao, don't hide it from me. What happened to him?"
Cheng Hao looked at the lights in the emergency room and fell silent. He didn't know how to tell her.
It will make you cry.
He knew that Zhou Ye was most afraid of her crying...
"Cheng Hao"
Seeing the silence on the phone again, Shengge tried hard to restrain herself from thinking and asked again:
"What are you doing on Zhou Ye? Can you ask him to call me back?
you……"
Shengge wrinkled slightly and her voice was a little stiff. She calmed down and continued:
"Can you tell him that I miss him and ask him to call me back?"
Cheng Hao listened to Shengge's voice, which was so anxious and uneasy that her voice was stuck. He raised his eyes and glanced at the emergency room. He lowered his head feebly and said in a very low voice:
"I'm sorry, he can't return the call now...".
Shengge's head felt like it was exploding in an instant. His hand that put on his shoes suddenly stopped, and his whole body was trembling with panic. He hurriedly asked:
"Where...are you? Where are you now?"
Cheng Hao no longer concealed anything, and said in a fragile and low voice: "Municipal People's Hospital."
Shengge immediately hung up the phone, put on her shoes and rushed out the door.
Grandma who was watching TV in the living room looked at Shengge who was about to go out in a hurry and asked hurriedly:
"Still going out so late at night."
Shengge's ears were buzzing and she rushed out without hearing anything.
"What happened?" Grandma hurriedly stood up and went over to hold her back.
Shengge suddenly came back to her senses, looked at her grandma, tried hard to suppress her uneasiness, smiled and said to her:
"It's almost the Spring Festival, and the Internet cafe is too busy. Call me and urge me to come over and help. I won't say anything for now. I'll rush over. Grandma, if you feel sleepy, go to bed first. I brought the key."
After speaking, grandma opened the door and rushed out without waiting for her to say anything else.
The grandma was frightened by her granddaughter's solemn and uneasy expression. When she came to her senses, she could no longer see Shengge. She wanted to chase her out, but she was afraid that something would happen to her, which would only make them more chaotic.
As I got older, I was always afraid that I would burden my children and be unhelpful. In the end, I just waited anxiously at home. Only half an hour later, I felt really worried and sent a message to my granddaughter saying:
"No matter what happens, grandma will spend it with my daughter."
Shengge didn't have time to look at her phone. She got out of the car and hurried to the floor Cheng Hao mentioned.
After exiting the elevator door on the floor, the running Shengge passed by Ji Yunxiao. When he arrived at the door of the emergency room, he saw Ji Shuyi applying medicine to the corners of Cheng Hao's mouth.
Originally Cheng Hao didn't want to be bandaged, but Ji Shuyi said anxiously:
"If you don't bandage and clean it, do you want Sister Shengge to come over and see you like this and make her worried?"
Cheng Hao saw Shengge standing up from the bench in a hurry and looked at Shengge uneasily.
Shengge looked at the lights in the emergency room that were still on, her heart ached fiercely, her hands clenched tightly in fear, and the corners of her mouth twitched and trembled in panic.
Looking at the injured Cheng Hao in front of him, he frowned and opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. It took him a while to say with difficulty:
"Fa...what happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the rescue room went out and the door was opened.
Shengge looked at Zhou Ye being pushed out, and rushed over with red eyes.
"Family members, please give me permission," the doctor said soothingly, "The patient is out of danger."
Shengge looked at Zhou Ye who was pushed out. There was blood on the bandaged gauze. There was blood on the whole back, on the head, on the legs...
What happened? How did it hurt like this?
The corners of her eyes were instantly stained with blood red, and her eyes were wet. She clenched her hands tightly, and her nails dug into her flesh, causing pain that burned her bones and burned her heart. However, she forcefully held back her tears.
Can't cry, there's nothing to cry about,
Her boy was just slightly injured and woke up immediately.
Don't cry,
Don’t cry…
But after holding back the tears, my legs weakened and I was about to fall down.
Fortunately, he was supported by Cheng Hao, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
Shengge stood firm, took a deep breath and hurriedly said to Cheng Hao:
"I'm fine. Go and watch Zhou Ye quickly. I'll ask the doctor for details."
Cheng Hao knew that it was important to ask Zhou Ye clearly about the situation at this moment, so he continued:
"Okay, I'll go and watch. You should be careful alone."
In the doctor's office.
The doctor who was writing the medical report said to Shengge truthfully and politely:
"The patient's injuries were mainly serious on his back. I heard from a boy who was traveling with him that the patient lay on him to protect him at the last moment. Fortunately, the truck braked in time and made an emergency response. Otherwise, he would have suffered severe injuries and serious consequences. It’s really hard to say,
It’s just that although he is out of danger at the moment, the patient has a blockage in the brain that is more difficult to deal with. We will wait 20 hours to see if he can regain consciousness before further treatment..."
"What if he doesn't regain consciousness in twenty-six hours?"
"Then you have to make other plans...".
Listening to the doctor's words, Shengge's head was buzzing as if a demon was tearing her apart. She forgot how she finally walked out of the doctor's office, and the doctor's words echoed over and over in her mind:
"...The possibility of becoming a vegetative state is not ruled out...".
Every word was like a barbed knife digging bloody holes in her heart, which made her heart aching.
Shengge sat slumped on the bench in the corridor, as if all his soul had been sucked away. There was no trace of life and light in his beautiful water eyes. He bent down, rested his elbows on his knees, and buried his face in his palms.
The world has fallen into an endless, suffocating abyss of darkness.
She was still waiting to surprise him,
It took her a long time to save enough.
how so……
Ji Shuyi looked at Shengge who was slumped on the bench in grief, full of guilt and deep guilt, walked over and shouted softly:
"elder sister…".
