family of doctors

It was already dark when Shao Changgeng arrived at the private hospital where his father was, and all the street lights on the street were turned on, and the bright lights made the streets of London bustling and lively, amidst people coming and going, walking alone on an unfamiliar street , Shao Changgeng suddenly had a feeling that time had changed in his heart.

Thinking back to myself who first arrived in London many years ago, I was also the same age as Shao Rong. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, the children who accompanied me have grown up.

It's just that I didn't expect that I, who originally only wanted to be a good father, would have such a crazy desire for possession and deep love for him...

Shao Changgeng himself felt that this kind of feeling came out of nowhere.

Falling in love with a child who was single-handedly raised, this kind of thing that would shock even strangers, it is hard to imagine how the always calm father Shao Anguo would feel when he knew the truth?

Did he calmly prepare a solution as he did every time he encountered a crisis?

Will he use any method to get rid of Shao Rong, just like making Su Zihang close his eyes forever in the operating room?

Shao Changgeng frowned, turned around and walked into the hospital, and stopped at the door of Shao Anguo's ward.

Looking at his father wearing glasses and sitting on the bed reading newspapers in the house, as a son of man, Shao Changgeng once again felt a heavy sense of powerlessness in his heart.

——Shao ​​Anguo, he is really a scheming and cunning fox.

When he showed the diagnosis report to himself, Shao Changgeng's heart was completely occupied by sad emotions, he didn't doubt the authenticity of the diagnosis data, and he didn't carefully check whether the diagnosis report was true.

Because he felt that there was no need for his father, who was a doctor, to lie.

At that time, he didn't know the complicated grievances between the prince, Su Zihang and the Shao family. When he learned that his father was ill, his first thought was to send him to the place with the best conditions for treatment. He never thought that "he is pretending to be sick" possibility.

However, after learning everything later—especially after Chen Dan revealed the real cause of Su Zihang's death—Shao ​​Changgeng couldn't help wondering whether Shao Anguo, one of the masterminds behind the scenes, fell ill and went abroad at the right time.

My father has been exercising all these years and has always been in good health. How could he suddenly get that disease?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he asked Zhu Mo to secretly watch his father's movements in London, secretly observed for a year, and found out the problem.

Who can explain why people who have Alzheimer's disease and claim to have memory loss and confusion read newspapers on time every day?Why do you always pay attention to domestic news?

Shao Changgeng withdrew his complicated thoughts, exhaled lightly, opened the door and walked into the ward.

Shao Anguo, who was sitting on the bed, raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you here, you don't have to go to school today?"

——Is this typical of Alzheimer's patients with memory regression?

Shao Changgeng didn't answer.

Shao Anguo smiled and asked, "Have you finished the homework assigned by the teacher?"

Shao Changgeng glanced at him, and after a long silence, he whispered, "Father, aren't you tired?"

Shao Anguo pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, but did not speak.

Shao Changgeng sighed softly, walked in front of him and said, "I already know everything about the prince...including the cause of Su Zihang's death."

Shao Anguo put down the newspaper in his hand and watched him calmly.

"Back then, you used Su Zihang to get rid of Lan Ye's people, and then injected Su Zihang with anesthesia to euthanize him. Originally, this layout had the best of both worlds and was perfect, but you never thought that Su Zihang would let the prince go at the last moment."

"Now that the crown prince has returned to the country, he will definitely take revenge on the Shao family, so... what are your plans now?"

Seeing that Shao Anguo was silent, Shao Changgeng continued: "Perhaps you don't know that before Anfei died, she left a safe with an anti-password deciphering program. I couldn't open it, so I had to leave it to Xiao Rong to open it." I think that Xiaorong has already opened that box, and there must be many secrets about the prince in it. As a last resort, I will get that part of information from Xiaorong and hand it over to the police for processing.”

"Do you... want me to do this?"

Shao Anguo still didn't speak, but his eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but instead revealed the sharpness and depth of the past.

Facing his father who looked calm, Shao Changgeng's mood was very complicated.

"In fact, you already know about Xiaorong's background, right? You agreed to bring Xiaorong back to the Shao family because...you want to use this child as a bargaining chip against the prince. You even sacrificed him when necessary." ……Is it right?"

Shao Anguo frowned slightly.

There was a trace of pain in Shao Changgeng's eyes, "Xiao Rong has lived in the Shao family for so many years, I don't mind that you don't have any feelings for him. But, I will not allow you to hurt him."

"He is my bottom line... Please don't touch it."

The voice was deliberately lowered, word by word, calm and firm.

The stiff confrontation between father and son lasted for a long time, Shao Anguo finally smiled slightly and said, "This is the key to your coming to me today."

"—For Shao Rong."

His voice was calm and clear, not sick at all.

Shao Changgeng looked at him and didn't answer, which was his tacit consent.

Shao Anguo pushed his glasses, and said calmly: "It seems that you really like that child, and you actually came to negotiate with me for him."

"However, do you think you can be together in the end?"

Shao Changgeng frowned slightly.

"You have thought about him, I've actually seen it a long time ago. Unfortunately, that child only regards you as a father. His feelings for you are far less deep than you for him. After a few more years, maybe he will fall in love with someone else."

"He is still young, he can afford to play, and he can also afford to lose. You are different, Chang Geng, you already... have no chance of going wrong."

Shao Changgeng fell silent.

These few words of my father pointed out the crux of the problem sharply.

Yes, Shao Rong is still young and young, everything is uncertain, and it is very difficult for him to accept himself as the same sex and once a father. Even if he accepts it temporarily now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not change his mind in a few years.

He is not yet 20 years old, who can be sure that in the next many years, he will not meet someone he likes more and is more suitable?

He still has a long way to go, and he still has many 20 years left.

But I am different, as Shao Anguo said, at this age, I have no chance of going wrong.

Only now did Shao Changgeng realize more deeply that there are many obstacles between the two, besides gender, the unspeakable father-son relationship, and more importantly, the age gap that cannot be ignored.

The 20-year age gap, like an insurmountable hurdle, lay in front of the two of them abruptly.

Even if she is really with Shao Rong, how long can this relationship... last?

No matter which way you think about it, the answer does not allow him to be too optimistic.

"Chang Geng, you are a calm person, you should understand what I mean. If you really think about him, you should let go—let him go, and let yourself go."

Shao Changgeng was silent for a long time before he clenched his fingers and said in a low voice, "I can't do it."

—Yes, he couldn't.

Thinking of Shao Rong hugging and kissing with others, being intimate, Shao Changgeng felt as if his heart had been pricked with dense needles, and the intense tingling pain could not be relieved at all.

Even if it is clear intellectually that he should let go for his own good, but Shao Changgeng can't do it.

He couldn't let go.

Maybe he is a selfish person, he just wants to keep Shao Rong by his side, whether it is for a year or two or three years, as long as Shao Rong is by his side... he feels that he has earned one more day of happiness.

Sighing lightly from the bottom of his heart, Shao Changgeng looked at his father with a cold expression, and said in a low voice, "I will find a way to solve the problem between me and him. I just hope that you will not interfere in this matter."

Shao Anguo said calmly: "I never ask about your personal feelings."

Shao Changgeng said, "I hope you will do what you say."

Shao Anguo said: "Of course, I don't need to meddle in your affairs, but the achievements of the Shao family for several generations cannot be ruined by you. I don't want to hear such incredible news as 'Shao Changgeng is with his adopted son' .”

Shao Anguo paused, and said calmly: "If you really decide, then leave that circle."

——Leave the medical circle where the Shao family is located?Abandon Anping Hospital, which has been in operation for many years?

Is this his condition?

Shao Changgeng didn't hesitate much, smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this, Shao Chen has already graduated, I will hand over the post of dean to him, and the handover work will be done well. I won't let me and Xiao Rong's relationship will affect the Shao family's reputation."

After coming out of the hospital, Shao Changgeng stuffed his hands into the pockets of his windbreaker, and walked silently on the streets of London with a sullen face.

The wind blew up in the city at some point, and the cold night wind blew towards his face, blowing away the hem of his gray windbreaker.The originally tall man stood up against the wind, but his tall and straight back revealed exhaustion and loneliness that could not be ignored.

In order to be with Shao Rong, she gave up years of career and the position of dean...

For this choice, Shao Changgeng hardly hesitated.

Because he knew very well that under the domestic environment, he and Shao Rong couldn't be together calmly.There are so many people who know the father-son relationship between them, and the pressure of public opinion that the two will endure together can be imagined.

He didn't have much nostalgia for Anping Hospital.

With his abilities, there was no need to trap himself in that private hospital.

However, his father's attitude made him feel chills in his heart.

Thinking of the conversation just now, I still feel like my heart is being held tightly by someone and I can't breathe.

It turned out that in the eyes of my father, the Shao family's reputation was the most important thing.As long as Shao Changgeng and Shao Rong do not affect the Shao family, he will not ask whether they are father and son or lovers.

He valued the Shao family's reputation so much, that's why he got involved in the underworld in order to make money to support the hospital, and later killed Su Zihang without hesitation in order to cleanse Anping Hospital...

——Shao ​​Anguo, the father he respected the most, he only cared about the reputation of the Shao family.

He didn't mind at all who his son was with.Whether it's Shao Rong or other men and women, as long as the relationship between the two doesn't affect the Shao family, it doesn't matter to him.

Shao Changgeng suddenly felt ridiculous.

I thought he would be angry or sad, and even when facing him, I felt a little guilty for falling in love with someone I shouldn't love.

In the end, he was chillingly calm.
