Qiao Hao brought the white porridge he bought to his mother, and this time, the other party finally took the bowl.

Qiao Hao felt a little relieved, at least his mother didn't force him to go on a hunger strike.But looking at his mother's haggard face on the hospital bed, he felt a lot of depression in his heart.Unable to say anything, he could only quietly move a stool and sit by the bed, waiting for his mother to finish eating the porridge before he collected the bowl.

Qiao's mother sighed three times after drinking that bowl of porridge. After drinking less than half of the bowl, she put the porridge on the bedside table.

"Eat some more, you didn't eat breakfast or lunch today." Qiao Hao stood up.

Qiao's mother only raised her eyelids, looked at the patients on the two beds next to her, and obviously swallowed what she wanted to say.

"I'm going to work the night shift later, and my sister will come to bed with me at night." Qiao Hao said while putting away the bowl.

"Listen to Mom, don't go to his place." Qiao's mother cried.

"I'm just going to work." Qiao Hao didn't look up, picked up the plastic bag of garbage and turned to leave.The phone rang suddenly at this moment, and Qiao Hao's heart sank when he saw Chen Zhi's name on the caller ID.

"Dongdong is in a coma. There is a small amount of bleeding from the tumor. The doctor said that the situation is not very good. It may get worse at any time. Where are you now?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhi's voice was quite calm, but there was an indescribable emotion in his tone.Qiao Hao felt a rapid blood loss all over his body, the plastic bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the porridge inside spilled out.

"What's wrong?" Mother Qiao sat up straight in shock from her son's reaction, and blurted out, "Is it Dongdong?"

Qiao Hao looked at his mother dumbly, and only then did he understand the meaning of Chen Zhi's words, the tumor is bleeding...it may get worse at any time...

"Mom, I'm sorry." He held up the phone, said something to his mother, and then rushed out of the ward.

……

In the corridor, Shi Chongshan was talking with some white-haired doctors with a cane. Aunt Yu was also there, holding a handkerchief and shaking her head and wiping tears.

When Qiao Hao appeared, everyone unconsciously looked at him.He subconsciously slowed down, suddenly a little afraid of what he would see after opening the door in front of him.Although he had only left here at noon the day before, at this moment he was really afraid, afraid that the face of the person on the hospital bed in the room would be covered with a white cloth, or that it would be an empty hospital bed.

"Is he in there?" So he asked the crowd blankly.

"You haven't woken up yet, go and call him." Shi Chongshan said slowly, with a commanding majesty, this majesty was not directed at Qiao Hao, but at his own son, as if he was just asking someone to send him My son, as long as he makes this request, his son must come over.

Qiao Hao nodded, and reached for the door of the ward with his cold hand.

The door was opened, and the silence in the room was in stark contrast to the outside.

Shi Dongdong's face was covered with an oxygen mask again, and his chest could hardly be seen rising and falling. If it wasn't for the beeping of the ECG monitor beside him, Qiao Hao would almost have thought that he was not breathing.

Tears welled up, Qiao Hao grabbed the hand of the person on the bed, and clenched his teeth tightly.

"You were sleeping when I left yesterday, why haven't you woke up yet?" After a long time, he raised his head and said to Shi Dongdong.

However, there was no response. The person with his eyes closed was still ashamed, and the cold instrument did not have any abnormal fluctuations.

Qiao Hao's hand clenched even tighter. In fact, his hand was colder than Shi Dongdong's.

"Let me tell you something," Qiao Hao wiped his eyes with his palm, he felt that he had to keep talking at this moment to fill the suffocating silence in the ward, "I confessed to my mother that I like you The old lady lost her temper and couldn't come out in the hospital. However, I think she should be fine. The doctor said that her blood pressure is a little high, she can eat food, and she still has the energy to scold me. Actually, I know my mother best After all, she will be fine after the trouble. After all, she will compromise with me, because she is soft-hearted. My dad may be a little troublesome, but he has finally compromised on the things I have been stubborn with him since I was a child. So, I think it is said On the contrary, it’s good. Qiao Min has always known that she and I are in the same country and will help me. Now, it’s up to you... Have you not expressed your attitude yet? You have to tell me clearly, or you will get lost It seems that I shave my head and pick my hair, and I am all self-indulgent. But I don’t think I should be, right? You can get up and tell me clearly, and say a few nice words to encourage me. If you can’t say it, look at me Just a glance... I, I actually have no idea."

As Qiao Hao said, he raised his head to look at Shi Dongdong's eyes, those originally bright eyes were tightly closed at this moment, without a trace of life.

But Qiao Hao had an illusion, as if the drooping eyelids were trembling slightly and would slowly open in the next second.

"Dongdong, wake up, okay?" Qiao Hao called softly, "Otherwise I have to go to work. Today is an all-night shift, and I don't have time to accompany you. I have asked for leave too many times recently, and my colleagues have to deal with it. I rolled my eyes. If I lose my job, I won’t have a handsome white coat to wear. You wake up quickly, or I’m really gone..."

That night, Qiao Hao didn't go to work, and Shi Dongdong didn't wake up either.

Qiao Hao didn't know how long he had babbled on the bedside, but in the middle of the night he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep on the sofa in the room.He had never been so tired after working three overnight shifts. This night when he curled up on the sofa and looked straight at the person on the bed not far away, he suddenly had the feeling that maybe they could meet in a dream when they fell asleep. a feeling of.He thought that maybe Shi Dongdong was having some sweet dream, which made him so unwilling to wake up.

The next morning, Qiao Hao was awakened by a loud noise.

As far as he could see, the bed in front of him was surrounded by a group of medical staff, he sat up abruptly, and saw Shi Dongdong throwing up on his chest and back from the gap.There was a voice shouting the dosage of the injection medicine, and the sharp alarms of the medical equipment rang together.

So he rushed over, but was grabbed tightly by Chen Zhi who appeared beside him at some point.

"Don't worry, let the doctor deal with it, Dongdong will be fine!" Chen Zhi growled in his ear.

"Let me see him!" Qiao Hao tried to open his eyes wide, and a thought flashed through his mind—maybe he is dreaming now?

So he struggled to pull one hand out of Chen Zhi's restraint, and slapped himself directly, the sound was loud, but the scene in front of him did not change.

"Is Dongdong awake?" He asked Chen Zhi anxiously.

"Yes, but it's very unstable now. He's been vomiting bile, he's bleeding from the digestive tract, and he's having difficulty breathing...the doctors are trying to rescue them, so don't disturb them!" Chen Zhi said, pushing him out of the door pull.

Qiao Hao was held up. Although he kept struggling, he was no match for Kong Wu's powerful Chen Zhi.

The last time he grabbed the door of the ward and was pulled out, he caught another glimpse of Shi Dongdong in the crowd, and the messy bed sheet in front of him, mixed with brown and dark red filth.He also seemed to have heard Shi Dongdong's voice, which was a kind of rapid panting, almost excruciating pain.

"Dongdong! Dongdong!" Qiao Hao yelled anxiously, completely forgetting the countless times he had told his family members when he rescued patients in the past.

So, after being pulled out of the ward, Chen Zhi punched him hard.

Bright red blood flowed out of his nasal cavity, and Qiao Hao finally felt a little sober.

"Be quiet, he'll be fine." Chen Zhi clenched his fists and said to him coldly.

Qiao Hao sat down on the bench in the corridor, and then saw Shi Chongshan sitting opposite him, an infusion tube was connected to the back of his hand, and a large bag of transparent medicinal liquid was slowly dripping into the tube at the other end.When the eyes of the two met, Shi Chongshan didn't say anything to him, but just straightened his back and waited silently.

Qiao Hao became completely quiet, his mind began to go blank, and all the content became a word of "wait".

There were people coming and going in the corridor all the time, and no one stopped to say a word to him.After an unknown amount of time, someone finally patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "Your phone has been ringing for a long time."

Only then did Qiao Hao take out his mobile phone and connected the call.

"Finally answered the phone, how is Dongdong?" Qiao Min's voice came over, asking anxiously.

"Still resuscitating." Qiao Hao said, feeling that his throat was so dry that it was about to split open, and there was a sharp pain.

"Are you okay? Then...you stay there. Mom has me here. She's fine, but she's just worried about you. "

"Sister..." Qiao Hao felt uncomfortable, "If Dongdong is gone, what should I do?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it took a long time before a message came, "Xiao Hao, be like a man!"

Qiao Hao, who tried his best to look like a man, waited on the bench in the corridor, and it was already dark outside the window. Finally, a doctor came and told them that Shi Dongdong had regained consciousness.

Qiao Hao lifted his spirits, and then he heard the doctor say to Shi Chongshan, "Mr. Shi, he wants to see you."

Shi Chongshan pulled out the needle in his hand and stood up with a cane.Qiao Hao also hurriedly followed behind him, but was stopped by the doctor, "He only said that he wanted to see his father."

"Ah." Qiao Hao nodded blankly, then sat down in a daze.

It was still a long wait. Qiao Hao never thought that Shi Dongdong and his father could talk for such a long time.

Beside her, Aunt Yu's eyes could no longer shed tears. She held a crumpled handkerchief and kept looking in the direction of the ward. After looking for a while, she said to Qiao Hao, "When Mr. Shi comes out, he should ask you to come in. At that time, you have to remember to remind Dongdong that I want to see him too, my heart has been wrenching all day and all night..."

Qiao Hao nodded, he completely understood Aunt Yu's mood.

Then, he began to look forward to it, and thought about what he should say to Shi Dongdong after seeing him.I don’t know if he heard the words he said when he was unconscious, maybe he should say it again, although... it may be difficult to say.

Finally, the door of the ward opened, and Shi Chongshan came out.

Qiao Hao stood up almost immediately and wanted to go in, but Shi Chongshan waved at him wearily.

"He said he was tired and wanted to have a good rest. You... don't bother him yet."

"That's it..." Qiao Hao's footsteps froze. He looked at Shi Chongshan, wanting to get more information from him, but saw that the other party just lowered his head, unwilling to say anything more to him.

"Then I'll come see him tomorrow?" Qiao Hao added.

Shi Chongshan didn't answer, but just walked past him, and said to Aunt Yu, "Go in and wipe him off, he's all sweaty."

After hearing this, Aunt Yu nodded her head again and again, and rushed in hastily.

For a moment, only Qiao Hao was left standing in the corridor.He glanced at Shi Dongdong's room, the door was closed and he couldn't see anything.
