Chapter 443
When Wen Shuxu woke up the next day, she smelled the sunlight in the air.
She hadn’t died?
She had pulled through?
She was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to laugh out loud.
But soon she realised that there was still darkness in front of her eyes, and immediately her heart hit rock bottom again.
“Doctor? Doctor?”
“The patient is awake. ………”
The gentle female nurse’s voice appeared, and she hurried towards her bed.
Wen Shuxu heard it and waved her hands in the darkness, “Nurse, my eyes …… Why are my eyes still blind? Ah?”
“This ……”
“Not so fast, our main purpose of this surgery is to first unblock that aorta in your spine that leads to your whole body, this is the key to solving your life-threatening problem, once this is solved and your body functions are restored, everything else is fine.”
Suddenly, the mute Dr. Moore came in, and after seeing how flustered she was, explained in a nonchalant manner.
So that was how it was after all.
Wen Shuxu finally let out a sigh of relief.
The look on her face, too, became much more relaxed.
“Thank you, Dr. Moore.”
“You’re welcome, Anna, take good care of her, and remember to look for me if anything happens.”
Moir soon left, probably because he had other things to do.
Wen Shuxu was lying on the hospital bed and felt the nurse coming over to remove her needle, and she suddenly felt a great desire to tell her family the good news.
“Nurse, can you bring my mobile phone for me? I want to call.”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
The nurse agreed enthusiastically, and then not long afterwards, brought her mobile phone over.
Wen Shuxu caught this and was so excited for a moment that even her hands were trembling slightly.
She finally had hope of living.
Finally, she didn’t have to worry about leaving them anymore.
The first thing Wen Xuoxu did was to let the nurse help dial her uncle’s phone number.
“Hello, uncle, this is Shuxu.”
“You dead girl, where the hell have you been? So long without a call, you want to die!!!”
The phone had just been connected, and sure enough, Du Huasheng’s thunderous roar came over the other side.
But by the end of the conversation, you could already hear his choked sobs.
The actual tears fell: “Uncle, I was wrong, it’s okay, I …… will be back soon …… ”
“Really?”
Du Huasheng asked incredulously.
Wen Shuxu then nodded over here again with hot tears.
Hope had already appeared, so she didn’t want to deceive this closest relative anymore, she wanted to give him good news so he wouldn’t be tied up for himself anymore.
And unbeknownst to her, just as she called, that aunt of hers, too, for a change, ignored the coldness of the past and took the opportunity to cut branches and prick up her ears all the time to eavesdrop.
Wen Shuxu made another call to Wen Jin as well.
Then, there were the children.
A few of the babies had long known the truth about her from their aunt who had returned.
So, stupid Mummy was lying to them, and they didn’t expose it, they just played along with Mummy.
Until finally, when Mummy was about to hang up, the little ones told her in unison to hurry back.
“Mummy, Daddy has been working very hard at the office lately, oh, do you want to call him?”
The resourceful Mo Bao did not forget to remind Mummy at the end.
When Wen Shuxu heard this, she couldn’t help but clench her fingers.
She wanted to call him?
Wanted to, wanted to so badly!
But she doesn’t have the courage yet, it’s still just the beginning, and the doctor didn’t say that the next surgery would be guaranteed to be foolproof.
Wen Shuxu struggled on the hospital bed for a long, long time, clutching her mobile phone.
And in front of her unseen, unbeknownst to her, there was a man in a white coat who was gazing at him for an instant.
He watched her call this and that.
But when she hung up the last one, it didn’t move, and she squeezed her phone tightly, seeing no move to call again.
The man’s eyes dimmed.
It was as if the brightness that had been like a spring breeze had suddenly been brought down by a dark cloud for a few short seconds, so grey that no one dared to look into his eyes again.
She remembered everyone.
But, once again, she had forgotten him, had she not?
The man went out with a great disappointment.
Ten minutes or so later, staying in the doctor’s office smoking a cigarette, he suddenly received a phone call from his sister.
“Hey, what’s going on? Why did your wife call me just now? You’re not at the hospital?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”
“She said for me to tell you to take care of your health, and that the recent days are not good for all three children, it will be some time before there is an auspicious day, so if you want to get married to Luo Yu, wait a little longer.”
“Cough cough cough ………”
A word, almost did not let that mouthful of smoke choke him to death.
And an auspicious day?
So, she was saving the day?
Instead of calling him directly, she called Huo Si Xing and then cornered him to not marry another woman so soon.
Huo Si Xing was going to be furious.
But it could not be denied that this was the sentence that lifted all the gloom from his heart.
After easily calming down, he touched his eyes that were coughing up tears and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just held back the tears at the bottom of his eyes and cursed with laughter, “She’s sick!”
Chapter 444
Qiao Shiqian returned to city A.
He re-lived in the flat a*signed to him at that time by Cloud One.
The building was close to the city centre, and when it was late at night, he pushed open the window and looked out, the lights of the city were in his eyes.
And the iconic building of Huo’s Mansion.
Naturally, it was also known as the most dazzling pearl in his sight.
“Sir, we’ve checked, Huo Siji hasn’t returned yet, Huo’s is being held by Huo Yanying and his daughter Huo Si Xing.”
The a*sistant also came in and seeing that he had been standing outside the window looking out at Huo’s Mansion not far away, he went over the situation in that building first.
Cloud One and Huo’s building are actually very close to each other.
At that time, when Wen Shuxu saw this company, she noticed it.
But she wouldn’t have thought that the man who grew up being sponsored by her mother would tell her that he was only working at Cloudy One if he said so.
It had been doubled several times.
He didn’t work at Cloud One, he was its owner.
More than that, Cloud One was not founded by him and a few shareholders, but was a secret investment by the Japanese company Saikyo.
And then there was the most important one, the main purpose of its existence here, which was to spy on Huo!
Qiao Shiqian stood by the window.
He didn’t pay attention to hear what people were in power in that building right now, but rather after this a*sistant behind him mentioned that Huo Siji hadn’t returned yet.
His face, which was staring expressionlessly into the distance, went white.
“Still not ready?”
“…… No. There was an operation yesterday, but it’s said to be just the beginning, and it’s an open question whether it will still heal.”
The a*sistant answered honestly.
When the words fell, the man, who was standing by the window, was immediately seen with his hands propped up on the windowsill, and his head, in turn, was lowered as deeply as if it had touched the most painful thing in his heart.
Looking from a distance, one could still see the slight trembling of his shoulders.
“Sir?”
“Do you also think I am unkind? Do …… not think me unworthy of being a man, too?”
It took him a long, long time before he heard the question arduously asked from his own throat.
The a*sistant shook her head in a hurry, “No sir, you didn’t mean to do that either, you didn’t know at the time that that drug would cause that many side effects to Miss Nancy.”
“I just did it on purpose!!! I was going to control her with the drug, I was going to make her never leave again, I was going to make her stay with me forever, I did it on purpose!!!”
He suddenly hissed loudly and turned around, his face staring this way, and it too became horrible and hideous.
The a*sistant was stunned and took a raw step back.
“Sir, you ……”
“Get out, get the hell out!!!” Qiao Shiqian desperately resisted the urge to kill and pointed at the door and growled.
The a*sistant saw that and immediately left.
With this look on his face, he did look a little scary.
However, the a*sistant did not know that as soon as he left, the quiet flat, the man who remained inside out of control, swayed and then fell to the wall with a “thud”, sliding down helplessly.
Nancy, I really …… didn’t mean it.
The night, Qiao Shiqian is so sitting on this floor spent.
Until the next morning, the a*sistant called again.
“Sir, Luo Tiannan has called, and he asked where we are going to meet?”
“…… Then let’s meet at the cemetery.”
For a long time, he pinched the phone and said an address.
He really couldn’t hold on much longer, he needed a belief, a support, and this, his mother’s grave, should be the best choice.
—
Los Angeles.
Wen Xuoxu is finally over the danger period and can be wheeled out and about.
It was still the same nurse called Anna.
“Miss Wen, where do you want to go for a walk around?”
“Well …… then let’s go to the front yard, the patient who lives on the same floor as me, she likes to go there most and we can chat.”
She remembered the patient.
However, to her great shock, after hearing that she was looking for her, the nurse told her that the patient had pa*sed away two days ago.
Pa*sed away?
Wen Xuoxu sat in her wheelchair for a long time without slowing down.
As a doctor, she had not seen the old and the sick and the dead.
However, now when she became a patient, she saw that the person she had been talking and laughing with the other day, full of life, was gone all of a sudden.
It hit her hard.
Especially this time when she herself was facing the possibility of leaving at any moment.
“What happened to you? I heard Anna say that you’ve been down since you went out for a walk and came back in a low mood.”
Just as she had been depressed all the way back in the ward, suddenly, that Dr. Moore came in and asked her in a husky voice what had happened.
It was a bit different from his cold personality.
Wen Shuxu lifted her head now, her unfocused eyes subconsciously looking to the source of this voice.
“Dr. Moore, what’s my hope of surviving?”
“What?”
“There are many more surgeries to go, aren’t there? And what are the chances that I’ll walk out of the surgery alive the rest of the way? What are the chances of these blood vessels in my body that you cut open and then stitch up to get it back to working properly?”
Wen Shuxu asked one question after another, the anxiety and unease in his tone as if he was back to that eve of his first surgery.
