About ten days later, one morning, my father finally opened his closed eyes slowly. I don’t know if the light outside was too dazzling for him or something else. When he opened his eyes and saw me sitting by the bed, Eye sockets filled with tears in an instant, and the hand under the quilt stretched out tremblingly and touched my knee.

While catching his hand, I pressed the button on the bedside to inform the nurse that the patient had woken up.

During the days when he was lying in a coma on the hospital bed, his whole body wasted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a deflated leather ball, and the wrinkles that were originally filled with fat and smoothed out were clearly visible at this moment, making him look ten years older all of a sudden.

Seeing that his lips were dry and white, I picked up a water glass and a cotton swab on the side, dabbed it on his lips with water, and explained to him while applying it: "Mom is going home to prepare lunch. Don't worry about the company. There is an older brother who is responsible, and An Jie is being disciplined by his sister-in-law."

He shook his head weakly when he heard the words, opened and closed his lips for a long while, and finally choked out a dry sentence, "Lai Ning, I... only you."

Hearing that the movements of my hands stopped, I looked at him with a complicated heart. Is it because I have been in a coma for more than ten days and my mind is not clear?Or was it after a round of revolving lanterns that he suddenly realized that he had neglected family affection in his life?Or do you just see me as compensation for losing Anjie?

Before I could ask, several doctors and nurses hurried into the ward and began to conduct various examinations around him.I got up and walked aside, called my mother, brother and sister-in-law one by one, told them the news that my father was awake, and finally dialed a small number, telling her that my father was awake, and I was going to come back today. Home, Xiaoxiao happily said on the other end of the phone that she was going out to pick up ingredients and make a big meal to welcome me home.I hung up the phone with a smile, and the examination by the doctor and nurse was over. A doctor came over and told me that the patient’s right side of the body was no longer as free as before, but luckily he was not so severe that hemiplegia, and other body functions were fine. Everything is normal, but the patient needs to rest and not have excessive mood swings.

I listened carefully, wrote down the precautions the doctor said one by one, and followed the doctor to get some medicines. When I returned to the ward, I met my brother who came in a hurry in the corridor.Thinking of what my father said just now, I expected that if I went back to the ward and waited for everyone to come, I might not be able to leave today.So I handed over the medicine I just took to my brother, repeated the precautions the doctor said to him, and prepared to leave.

My brother looked at me in embarrassment, "little girl, are you going to walk later? I can't remember all the things you told me all at once, and besides, dad just woke up, and you are in a hurry to leave, isn't it good? .”

Hearing this, I had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​leaving and went back to the ward with him.Except for An Jie, everyone else came to the ward one after another. Everyone got together and chatted for a while about hospitalization and care.The elder brother was going to report to him about the company's current situation, but he shook his head rarely, expressing that he didn't want to hear it. The elder brother showed a puzzled look, but he didn't say anything, and left after sitting in the ward for a while.

When it was just me, mom and dad left in the ward, I took out my phone to check the time, only to find a message from Xiaoxiao, "When are you coming back? I'll pick you up."

The corners of my mouth curled up involuntarily, and I quickly tapped my finger on the screen, "No need, I'll just take a taxi home and wait for your big meal."

A reply was received shortly after the message was sent. "Let you take a look at the main course of tonight's dinner in advance." The message reminder sounded at the right time. I clicked on it, and it was a small selfie in the kitchen wearing an apron. The small corners of the eyes in the photo With a familiar smile.After looking at the picture two or three times and saving it to my phone, I replied to her, "I'll go home right away, wait for me."

After confirming the sending, I held the phone in my hand, turned around and said to my mother who was sitting beside me peeling fruit, "Mom, I'm going back first, and I'll see you later."

My mother paused, raised her eyes and looked at me, still looking like she was about to cry. "Lai Ning, you can stay. Your dad and I are also people whose loess is buried up to our necks. You still have a lot of time and a long life, and your dad and I only have you. We can't delay you for a long time in the past few years."

Hearing her words, my nose was sore, and I tried my best to hold back my tears, "It's not that I will never see you again. It's not contradictory for me to be with Xiaoxiao and to take care of you. I left at the beginning just because you didn't want to accept me. If you can accept..."

Before I could finish speaking, my mother interrupted me sharply, "Accept what? Accept that my daughter likes a woman?! Accept that my grandson likes a man?! Accept that the An family is like this?!"

The father who was lying on the hospital bed also got excited when he heard it at the end, coughed uncontrollably, and covered his mouth in pain while lying on the side of the bed.I frowned as my mother hurriedly brought the trash can in front of him to prevent his vomit from splashing all over the floor.

I stood by and watched them, feeling sad and sad. "I thought you guys would change in the past two years, but is it still the same? Now you turned around and said 'only me' because you thought there was at least Anjie, but now they have betrayed your expectations, Really? So in the end, I'm just your second best choice."

"You...cough cough, you still have the nerve to mention those two years, which daughter would not call home for two full years?!"

"I'm embarrassed? At least I contact An Jie every week to care about the situation at home, and what about you? Your act of caring about me is to spread rumors about me in school and cause me to lose my job?! If you still can't accept me, Then why insist on letting me stay, it's good for both parties." After speaking, I suppressed my unbearable heart and turned to walk towards the door.

Before taking two steps, I heard my mother's panicked voice behind me, as if my father's health was in trouble.I hammered myself angrily, turned around and strode back to the hospital bed, and pressed the emergency call button.

The author has something to say: The story of Xiao An and Xiao Xia is finally coming to an end.

☆、Chapter 55

A group of doctors and nurses rushed into the ward and surrounded Dad's bed, chattering medical terms that I couldn't understand, and working on various medical equipment.My mother and I were kicked out of the ward and stood outside the ward, looking at each other speechlessly for a while.

My mother looked at the closed door silently, and after a long time she turned her head and looked at me sadly, and asked each word: "Is a woman who has known each other for only three years really more important than my biological parents? I gave birth to you for more than [-] years, is it not as good as she coaxed you to be happy for three years? If I was lying on that bed today, would you say what you just said and then abandon me? "

Every word of these words is heartbreaking, every syllable is like thunder, and they loudly accuse me of my ruthlessness and unfilial piety in my ears. The firm belief and all the hopes for the future that I have built for me little by little in the past are now in my ears. In front of these words, he became vulnerable and crumbling.
