two tigers

Outside the single ward of the Central Hospital, Ke Lai hugged his mother and quietly waited for the doctor's diagnosis.Mrs. Ke's spirit was not very good, but she kept comforting Ke Lai and told him not to worry.

Ke Lai squeezed his mother's hand, feeling like holding two pieces of ice.

"Your father's blood pressure has been stable, and he takes the medicine prescribed by the doctor every day. He said he was tired when he came back today, so I asked him to lie down for a while after eating, but when I entered the room, I found that I couldn't wake him up ..."

Mrs. Ke's face was full of self-blame, and she repeated in a whisper.

"Why should I watch that TV series? If only I went upstairs to sleep earlier..."

"Mom, this has nothing to do with you. You can't avoid it even if you sleep on the side." Ke Lai patted his mother on the shoulder. "Dad is fine, don't think about it."

"Yes, yes, your father will be fine, and don't be nervous, little girl." Mrs. Ke held her son's hand forcefully, and told Mrs. Tian, ​​"Ah Tian, ​​don't be nervous either."

"Ma'am, I'm not nervous." Mrs. Tian said with red eyes.

After a while, the door of the ward opened, and Vice President Li of the Central Hospital came out with a group of doctors. Seeing this, Ke Lai, his mother and others immediately went up to greet him.

Vice President Li and Ke's father, Ke Fuchao, were old friends, so they would not treat them perfunctorily, so they told them the results of the inspection on behalf of the director of Shenwai.

"Smog disease... what is it?" Ke Lai was surprised.

Mrs. Ke also said, "Isn't it hypertension and stroke?"

"It's not high blood pressure, but it's especially easy to be misdiagnosed as a stroke. Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive, occlusive cerebrovascular disease. When it occurs, the narrowing and spasm of the blood vessels in the brain will appear like smoke, so it got its name for some reason."

Vice President Li threw a bunch of technical terms at Ke Lai with a serious expression. Of course Ke Lai couldn't understand, but he grasped the key words in the Vice President's words.

"...Although this disease is not uncommon at present, the cause of the disease is unknown, and there is no specific treatment for direct eradication. The international community is still exploring it..."

"It can't be cured?" Mrs. Ke's eyes flashed with fear.

Vice President Li hurriedly comforted him: "No, no, it's just that although there are many cases, not all of them are for reference. We still need to discuss according to Fu Chao's situation to see how to perform the operation."

"Surgery? How long will it take? Will he wake up before the surgery?" Ke Lai asked.

Vice President Li glanced at the director of Shenwai beside him, and shook his head: "We will give a treatment plan as soon as possible. At present, he has shown symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, and he should not wake up for the time being..."

Although the doctor tried his best to use euphemistic words so as not to irritate the family members, after they left, Mrs. Ke still turned pale and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Ke Lai asked Mrs. Tian to quickly pour a glass of water for her mother, but her father's ward could not be entered, and Mrs. Ke refused to leave, so Ke Lai had to open another room next door for her mother to rest.

Presumably because she was concerned about her son's mood, Mrs. Ke's tears welled up in her eyes several times, but she just didn't cry.Ke Lai stayed with her for most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, her mother barely fell asleep.

Ke Lai came out of the ward and walked down the stairs tiredly. When he passed a person, he suddenly turned around and called out.

"gentlemen……"

This is the VIP ward, and the people who come in and out are of relative status. The man who was stopped was indeed a good-looking person, and when he saw Ke Lai, his face showed a hint of surprise.

But Ke Lai didn't pay attention, he just curled up the corner of his mouth with difficulty and said, "Excuse me, do you have any cigarettes with you?"

The man paused, and slowly took out a bag from his pocket and handed it over.

With trembling hands, Ke Lai took one out of it, and returned the rest.

"You can take this too." Seeing that he was about to leave, the other party took out another lighter.

Ke Lai refused: "I have."

Walking downstairs, he found a corner in the open air and stood quietly. After holding the cigarette in his mouth, he took out a retro gold-faced lighter carved with delicate bellflowers from his pants pocket, and it clicked. stand up.

Ke Lai knows how to smoke, but he seldom smokes. If the smell of cigarettes gets on his body, no amount of cologne will cover it up.But now he takes a deep breath every time, trying to numb his body and senses by the choking smell, and let the hazy smoke completely envelop him and even disappear...

********

Tang Yu has been training alone in Ye Xiong for three consecutive days. When he heard several strong men discussing Ke Lai's absence behind him, and he couldn't even drink good wine, Tang Yu suddenly hit a heavy hammer and directly knocked him down. The sandbag leaked...

Looking at the hole as big as a bowl of quicksand rushing out, the strong men collectively: "..."

Tang Yu took off his gloves, threw the towel on his shoulders and went directly to the shower room. After rinsing, he got into his car, and then sent Lu Xi a message of "I'll be at your house in a while", and stepped on the gas pedal Drove the car out.

Different from Wen Tun when he sent Ke Lai home that day, Tang Yu drove so violently tonight, if he didn't drive along a traffic artery at all, it is estimated that the left and right drift would hit other people and cars passing by Go to the sky bridge.

——Zi!With a stabbing sound, the cross-country stopped in front of Lu Xi's villa.The front, rear, left, and right sides of this place are already full of luxury cars, but Tang Yu spotted a gap, and squeezed the car into it. He was only a few millimeters away from wiping off a large piece of the car's Lambo xx and Ferrari xx.

Lu Xihou, who had already received the news, was at the gate. He was obviously tall and strong, not much worse than Tang Yu. Seeing the aggressive opponent, he immediately accepted the heroic expression, and apologized before saying anything.

"My friends were already at home when you sent me a message. If I had known you were coming, I would have never let them in."

Tang Yu just nodded and walked in.

Sure enough, as Lu Xi said, men and women huddled together in the huge living room, dancing to the wild background music.Some people who are already slightly drunk, when they see Tang Yu, they think it is a friend who came to the party together, and they can't help screaming and jumping on him with joy, while sighing that Lu Shao has such a good partner who doesn't know how to pull it out to see look.

As a result, Lu Xiquan swept Tang Yu aside before he got close to him. Lu Xi asked Tang Yu to go upstairs first, and then went to him after he cleaned up the place.

As a result, Tang Yu did not avoid such social occasions like a snake and a scorpion as usual, he found a corner of an inconspicuous sofa and sat down, and asked Lu Xi to give him a glass of wine.

Of course Lu Xi would not give it, and of course he could see that Tang Yu was strange, he hurriedly sat down next to Tang Yu, wondering with great interest what could make Young Master Tang behave uncharacteristically.

Tang Yu ignored his questioning, and only said, "Where's the thing?"

Lu Xi was stunned, and when he came back after leaving for a while, he was holding a large photo frame in his hand.

"Since when did you become interested in this pretentious stuff?"

Lu Xi was engaged in import and export trade, and was Tang Yu's classmate when he was in country A. The Lu family and the Tang family were also considered family friends, so as soon as the other party opened his mouth, Lu Xi got him.

Tang Yu lifted the leather cover, glanced at the high imitation painting inside, and grabbed it with satisfaction.

"Hey, just work harder, this thing won't take a lot of trouble." Even if it's an imitation, the value is almost enough to replace half of the house. "By the way, you haven't answered me yet." Lu Xi was persistent, but he couldn't get Tang Yu's answer.He was in a hurry, but he kept looking for excuses to get here, and Lu Xi was so annoyed that he almost didn't hit anyone.

"Young Master Lu, I fell out of love again yesterday. It's rare to see a handsome man. You treat me like this..." The man also drank too much and was not easy to get rid of. Tang Yu's body.

Lu Xi laughed angrily: "You are a man yourself, and it's no wonder that you are so blind that you can't find a reliable man. This is something you can think about, so get out."

"I won't leave, this is great... If I leave, I won't be able to find this kind of..."

"Who said that, I saw one in the hospital today. It's not a mixed race, but it's really good. It's not worse than the one around me, but... a good one may not like you."

"Which hospital?!"

Seeing that the other party was really excited, Lu Xi kicked him away directly.Looking back, Tang Yu was still sitting there fiddling with the painting, but the movements were much lighter.The surrounding lights were blurry, and there were many beauties of all kinds, but he didn't notice it as if he was in a temple.

Lu Xi couldn't help but said: "Hey, you really don't want to find one? Girls are not interested, but boys are fine too. The one I just said is not a lie. It's really good. I have to go there in two days. If you do, shall I inquire about it for you?"

It seems that I remembered half of it.

"No, you should have seen that person..."

Lu Xi's soliloquy made Tang Yu suddenly raise his eyes.

"Who are you talking about?"

Lu Xidao: "It was at the restaurant last time, that one gave me a bouquet of flowers and said you were very interesting, you must have forgotten..."

Unexpectedly, Tang Yu repeated what the man said just now.

"Which hospital?"

Lu Xi was taken aback by his gaze, but still confessed: "The VIP inpatient department of the Central Hospital... He should be visiting a patient... I think he is in a bad mood, probably because a relative or friend is sick."

As soon as the words were finished, Tang Yu got up and left neatly, even more abruptly than when he came.

"Hey, you don't want your tiger picture anymore?" Lu Xi called him.

Tang Yu said, "Let it go to your place first."

********

Many people gathered around Ke Fuchao's ward, many of them were Huali's employees, and family friends from all walks of life came to visit early in the morning when they heard that Ke's father was ill. Although no one was in sight, everyone was still waiting. They don't want to leave, except to hear the news, and they are afraid that if something happens that will cause market turmoil, most people still really care about Mr. Ke's health. After all, Ke Fu Chao Dafang is on the road again, and everyone likes to do business with him.

Ke Lai invited Father Ke's assistant to entertain them, and he accompanied his mother to see them temporarily until Vice President Li brought Father Ke's treatment plan.

"What do you mean not very sure?" Ke Lai didn't let his mother listen to this, he chose a separate place to chat with Vice President Li.At this moment, Ke Lai frowned tightly, his face darker than ever.

Vice President Li said with a deliberate tone: "Alai, I really want to comfort you with some high-sounding words, but there are no outsiders now, so I have to tell the worst situation. It may not be eradicated, and it is not too early when your father finds out..."

"So Uncle Li, you mean that although the hospital will operate on him, my father may not be able to recover?"

"He has a certain chance of recovering."

"how many?"

Vice President Li said: "I... can't tell, maybe [-]%."

Ke Lai's expression calmed down instead: "Is it [-]% sure that he can recover? If not, what are the sequelae?"

Vice President Li hesitated for a moment: "It's like a stroke..." In fact, it is more serious. Moyamoya disease will lose mobility, aphasia and even blindness in the later stage.

"That is to say, he won't recover if he doesn't have surgery, and he may not recover after surgery..." There is even no future at all.

Seeing Ke Lai's appearance, Vice President Li naturally wanted to persuade: "Maybe we can be optimistic, there is still hope of success."

It was rare for Ke Lai to be so aggressive: "Who can guarantee it?! I dare not bet, Uncle Li, if you were me, would you dare?"

The deputy director was helpless: "I can understand, but you are not given a chance to choose now. The Central Hospital is one of the best hospitals in China, and our doctors are also the best. Alai, you should have some confidence, your mother You and your father are waiting for your decision, so think about it..."

Think about it.

Leaning against the window sill, these words flashed through Ke Lai's mind over and over again.Anxiously, he reached for his pocket, only to find that the cigarettes he had brought with him in the past two days had already been smoked unconsciously.Ke Lai could only take out the lighter and stroke the bluebells on it, as if he could find some comfort from it.

For the first time, Ke Lai felt so confused, as if it was wrong to take a step forward, and he couldn't afford to make an inch of mistakes. He didn't know what to do, and he really wanted someone to tell him what to do...

Ke Lai held the lighter in one hand, and tightly squeezed the phone in his trouser pocket with the other.

For the past two days, he has been refraining from looking at the call records or any information. He and that person were so beautiful when they were flirting, but when they really got out to look, the relationship between them was actually nothing.Ke Lai is not a professional doctor. He doesn't have the capital to disbelieve Vice President Li's words and turn to Tang Yu for help, which will put pressure on the other party instead. Tang Yu doesn't need to bear his dim hope, he is not a god.And Ke Lai was also afraid, and in the end all he got from him was disappointment...

But now, he wavered.

Ke Lai realized that he didn't necessarily need the guidance of the powerful and omnipotent "Doctor Tang". What are you doing, coward..." All good.

Better than being alone...

Ke Lai really felt that he was missing the other party.

Miss Tangyu...

Holding the phone in front of him, Ke Lai fumbled to open the address book, hesitated for a few seconds at the number "Doctor Tang", and finally pressed the call button.

Not long after, a series of crisp bells rang not far away, and at the same time there was the sound of footsteps, from far to near.

Ke Lai was taken aback, then raised his head forward, and saw the familiar figure that had been lingering in his mind for the past few days walking towards him quickly...
