In the first half of Li Sui’s life, he had never met such a person who could expound life-and-death words in an understatement.It’s as if every time you see a scene in a movie where you choke your neck and hang yourself, you will feel a foreign body sensation in your neck. Hearing Lu Shang’s words, Li Sui clearly felt that his heart was also poked at that moment. A cut was made, and it hurt.There were countless voices clamoring in his brain, but he was surprisingly calm, holding Lu Shang steady with one hand, and immediately reached for the phone with the other.
Calling Uncle Yuan quickly, Li Sui almost half-carried Lu Shang into the car, and rushed all the way to Ruige Hospital. The doctor pushed Lu Shang directly into the operating room without saying a word.
“Prepare for first aid.” He only had time to hear this sentence before he was stopped outside the door with a “bang”.
The humming echo echoed in the corridor, Li Sui panted heavily, lowered his head and wiped his face, not sure if it was sweat or rain.He was only wearing a shirt, and he was running so fast that some blood oozed from the wound on his arm, and as soon as the rain soaked it, it seeped outside.
There was no one in the corridor, it was so quiet that he could hear his turbulent heartbeat, Li Sui neither stood nor sat, walking back and forth outside the door anxiously.At this time, Uncle Yuan came in from the outside with the list, saw him, and was taken aback for a moment.
“Uncle Yuan.” He nodded politely.
“Why are you still here?” Uncle Yuan came over, “I don’t need you here, go back and rest, I’ll let Xiao Zhao see you off.”
Li Sui stood still on the spot: “He… is his illness serious?”
Uncle Yuan showed a troubled expression, and said, “You should ask Boss Lu yourself when he wakes up.”
“I’m just worried about him.” Li Sui whispered.
Uncle Yuan paid attention to the open wound on his arm, and recalled all the details of how he took care of Lu Shang along the way, his voice slowed down: “This is an old problem.”
“It’s thrilling every time, and I can survive it all the time.” Uncle Yuan sighed when he thought of Lu Shang’s illness, “He has already experienced his own illness. It’s useless for us to worry about it. Trust him.”
Li Sui stared at Uncle Yuan, feeling sore in his heart. No wonder Lu Shang was so calm that he didn’t look like a patient. It turned out that this was not the first time. I don’t know how he came here in the past few years.
The door of the operating room opened, and a middle-aged man in surgical gown came out. He took off his mask, revealing a face similar to Liang Zirui’s.Uncle Yuan handed him the receipt in his hand, and the two of them talked at the door for a while, which contained a lot of technical terms, and Li Sui couldn’t understand any of them, his eyes fixed on the palm-sized blood stain on the surgical gown.
Lu Shang is almost perfect in his heart, always elegant and courteous, low-key and reserved. If people are compared to collectibles, he should also be placed in the most precious glass cabinet. Li Sui can’t accept it. How could such a thing happen to him?
Sensing the projected gaze, Li Sui raised his head, the doctor took a look at him from a distance, turned around and said a few words to Uncle Yuan, the two seemed to have reached an agreement, then the doctor returned to the operating room, Uncle Yuan came over , took him to the emergency room.
It won’t take long for the wound to be re-bandaged. He is young and in good health, and he recovers quickly. The little nurse wanted to hang him with water, but he refused. In the end, he only gave an injection to reduce the inflammation.Uncle Yuan kept guard outside the door, waiting for him to come out, and escorted him out side by side.
Xiao Zhao’s car stopped in front of the door, Li Sui looked up at the pattering sky, turned around and said to Uncle Yuan, “When will he wake up?”
“Probably tomorrow.”
Li Sui: “Is anyone taking care of him?”
“There are nurses, escorts, and doctors who know him, so you can go back with peace of mind.”
Li Sui was still worried, he hesitated for a while, and said, “Uncle Yuan, can I wait here for him to wake up?”
Uncle Yuan’s embarrassed expression came back again, this time Li Sui didn’t wait for him to speak, and said directly: “I can talk with him, I still have strength to support him, he won’t be angry.”
He lowered his head and added, “And, I think, he probably won’t be too willing to let the nurse touch him.”
Speaking of this, Uncle Yuan couldn’t refuse anything, and what the child said was not completely unreasonable. Lu Shang has always been particularly resistant to going to the hospital, but he is extremely disgusted with any inspection items that touch the body. I used to argue with Liang Zirui a lot about this matter.Li Sui can be regarded as the only person who has had physical contact with Lu Shang, and it is indeed more convenient to have him around than others.
“Then…you decide for yourself, don’t run out, Boss Lu can’t find anyone when he wakes up, and I can’t explain it to you.” Uncle Yuan reluctantly agreed.
Li Sui asked the nurse for a charger, charged up his phone, and sat on the bench outside the operating room to wait.He usually doesn’t have any recreational activities, except for reading and doing problems, and Lu Shang occasionally plays some discs to watch. He often falls asleep after watching them. At this time, he doesn’t know what to do except sit quietly.
This hospital has a small turnover of people, the environment is elegant, and the medical staff who come and go move very lightly, so it looks extremely empty.I don’t know how long it will take, Li Sui bought a big bread at the convenience store downstairs, and saw that there was a seller of millet porridge, knowing that Lu Shang would not be able to wake up for a while, even if he woke up, he would not be able to eat, so he still packed it Serve in a bowl.
Back in the corridor, an old lady came to the seat where she was sitting, leaning on crutches, and seemed to be waiting for someone.
Li Sui sat down beside her and put the millet porridge on the stool.
“Young man, what time is it?” The old lady suddenly turned to ask him.
Li Sui took out his phone and looked at it: “A quarter past two.”
“It’s past two o’clock, why don’t you come out after two o’clock…” This old lady is very old, her face is full of horizontal lines, her expression is a little dull, but she is very clean and well-dressed. Well cared for seniors.
“Are you waiting for someone?” Li Sui asked.
“That’s right, Da Chuan is having an operation inside,” the old lady seemed very anxious, “Why didn’t you come out after two o’clock…”
Li Sui couldn’t help but be surprised that there is only one operating room here, and there is no situation where two operations are performed at the same time. His first reaction was that within a few minutes of his going out, Lu Shang had already finished the operation, and there was a new person in it, and then he thought it was impossible. , I went to the nurse and asked, it really wasn’t, the people inside never came out at all.
“Did you go to the wrong place?” Li Sui came back and kindly reminded, “This doesn’t seem to be your family.”
“No?” The old lady showed a puzzled expression, “Isn’t this the operating room for heart disease?”
Li Sui was taken aback for a moment: “Yes…”
“Da Chuan, the doctor said that Da Chuan’s operation will be over at two o’clock, why hasn’t he come out yet…” The old lady was really anxious and looked very excited.
Just as Li Sui was about to ask a few more questions, a nurse opened the door and came in. Seeing her, she was surprised and said, “Why are you here again?” After speaking, she smiled apologetically at Li Sui, took the old lady’s hand and walked out.
Li Sui recognized that this was the nurse who had lent him the charger just now, and heard other people calling her Xiao Min.
“Wait, what happened?” He stepped forward to stop him.
“It’s okay.” Xiao Min blinked, seeing no one around, leaned into his ear and whispered, “This old lady has dementia.”
“But she just said that a man named Da Chuan is doing surgery there?”
Xiao Min glanced at the old lady who was still whispering, and showed a sympathetic expression: “Da Chuan is her husband, and he also had heart surgery here two years ago. Before the operation, the doctor told her that the operation would be at two o’clock at most In the end, her husband was too old to survive and died on the operating table.”
Li Sui was shocked, his pupils shrank suddenly, Xiao Min didn’t notice his strangeness, and continued: “At that time, she was sitting here waiting, but she didn’t wait until she came out, but it was a corpse, the old lady I was stimulated and couldn’t accept it, so…” She shrugged, “It’s like this now.”
“Since then, some nurses have found her running here every now and then, sitting like this now, doing nothing, as if her husband is still in there for surgery, it’s pitiful to say the least.”
“Okawa, Okawa…” The old lady was still mumbling.
“I’ll take her out, her family should be here soon.” Xiao Min winked at him.
Li Sui was in a daze, as if he hadn’t reacted from this narration, watching the old lady being helped out by Xiao Min tremblingly, the moment she went out, she turned her head and looked at Li Sui, the pair of eyes The cloudy eyes were filled with sadness, like a giant hand, pinching him almost to suffocate.
A thought suddenly occurred to him. In fact, the old lady knew in her heart that her Okawa would never come out again.
Slumped back on the bench, Li Sui couldn’t calm himself down. An indescribable feeling of powerlessness extended from the soles of his feet to his scalp, as if half of his soul had been taken away. He lowered his head and stared at his palm, There was a lot of cold sweat on it.
He never thought about death, let alone such a cold word would be linked to Lu Shang, but that man was clearly behind that door, enduring unimaginable pain.He felt flustered for no reason, unprecedented anxiety swept over the calmness he had been trying to maintain, and his eye sockets became astringent.
Fortunately, not long after, the door of the operating room opened, and he stood up abruptly, so nervous that he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet. A few nurses pushed the medical bed out. On the white sheet, Lu Shang’s eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale , There was a little blood on the sharpened chin, which was wiped off by the nurse with an alcohol cotton ball.
He was about to follow when the chief surgeon held his shoulder.
“You are Li Sui.” The doctor took off his mask and smiled, “Hi, I’m Liang Qizhai, Zi Rui’s uncle.”
“Uncle Liang.” Li Sui called out dully, his thoughts and eyes were all on the medical bed passing by.
“He’s fine, he can get out of bed after two weeks of recuperation,” Dr. Liang followed his gaze. “Although it’s dangerous this time, it’s good that you sent him to the doctor in time.”
Only then did Li Sui come back to his senses, and asked in surprise, “Is it very dangerous?”
Dr. Liang looked at him for a while, then said, “There is no danger.”
“High-intensity work and long-term lack of rest are unbearable for normal people, let alone a patient with congenital heart disease.”
Li Sui’s shoulders slumped, he was frustrated and blamed himself: “He never told me this, so what can I do to help him?”
“Professional nursing is in charge of a special person. You can try to help him relax. He is too tense, both physically and mentally. If this continues, it will be very harmful to the body,” Dr. Liang gave an analogy, ” The human body is like a spring, if it is stretched too hard for a long time, it will lose its elasticity.”
After silently repeating it in his heart, Li Sui felt something, and Dr. Liang said again: “His condition is kept secret, I don’t know if he has told you, don’t say anything to the outside world, you know?”
Lu Shang really didn’t mention this, but he was not a talkative person, thinking that he had to deliberately avoid the crowd when his illness flared up, probably because he didn’t want to be known, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
