After Masnian heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He was quiet for a long time, then suddenly glanced at the drawer of the bedside table and asked.
"Where is she? Is she okay? I heard that she is with that boy from the Gu family?"
"They have separated. Luoluo left Huacheng. She founded a charity fund and now all her energy is devoted to charity projects."
Hearing this, Masnian frowned slightly and asked.
"We broke up? Did Gu bully Luoluo?"
Hearing Mas Nian's words, Xiao Yingze smiled helplessly, looked at Mas Nian's unconcealed worry, and sighed softly.
"Since you are worried, why should you run away? Luoluo has never let go of you. Ever since she learned about your car accident, she has been in a state of despair. Later, she finally recovered, but she is no longer as cheerful as before and puts all her energy into work.
, As for her and Gu Jinmo, it will be a matter of time before they break up, at least until now, Luoluo still loves you."
After Xiao Yingze finished speaking, the ward fell into a long silence again. Finally, Xiao Yingze let out a long sigh.
"Forget it, I know it's useless what I say now, brother, I just hope you won't regret it in the future."
"Will not."
Masnian's deep voice came from the room.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and the two people turned to look. Gessen opened the door and walked in. Seeing the solemn atmosphere inside, he frowned slightly, and then spoke.
"Sorry, I know you have a lot to say, but at this point, Si Nian, it's time for you to rest."
Unknowingly, they had been chatting here for more than an hour. In order to be in the best condition for surgery tomorrow, Gessen had to come over and interrupt their conversation.
After Xiao Yingze heard this, although he still had a lot to say, he still stood up.
"Brother, you should have a good rest. I will stay here for the next few days."
As he said that, he pushed Masnian to the bed and was about to help him sit on the bed, but Masnian stopped him. Then he tremblingly supported the wheelchair and sat on the bed with difficulty but skillfully.
Xiao Yingze waited for Masnian to lie down before leaving the ward. However, when closing the door, he remembered something and asked again.
"When I came over, Dad told me to tell him when I saw you whether I should make the call or you should make it yourself."
After Masnian heard this, he thought for a moment and said.
"It's midnight in Los Angeles now. I'll call my father later."
Xiao Yingze nodded and then walked out of the ward.
Xiao Yingze walked to the door but did not leave. He waited for Gessen to come out. When Gessen saw Xiao Yingze waiting there, he knew what he meant and said casually.
"Let's talk in my office."
After saying that, Gessen walked towards the office. Xiao Yingze said to Hawks and Shan Jingyu before leaving.
"You guys should go back to the hotel first and call me if you have any questions."
Later, Xiao Yingze caught up with Gessen.
"Mr. Gessen, thank you for taking care of my brother during this time."
After entering, Xiao Yingze spoke very politely. It could be seen that Masnian and Gessen had a very good relationship. If this man purely regarded Masnian as a patient, it would be impossible for Masnian to be so relaxed and comfortable here.
Live for a long time.
After hearing this, Gessen did not respond immediately. Instead, he poured a glass of water for Xiao Yingze, then motioned for him to sit down and chat, and then spoke.
"You're welcome. Si Nian and I are friends. Now, he is my patient and the sponsor of this research center. No matter what the reason is, I have to take good care of him."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze was a little surprised. Investing in a medical research center was not a small sum of money, and none of them had ever discovered it. He was a little curious about how much private property his eldest brother had accumulated over the years.
Of course, he would never doubt Masnian's loyalty to the Xiao family.
But now is not the time to care about these external things. He was silent for a moment and returned to the topic.
"Mr. Gessen, what is the success rate of tomorrow's surgery?"
Although Gessen guessed that Xiao Yingze would ask about the surgery, he was still a little embarrassed when he actually asked.
Gessen frowned, thought deeply for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Twenty percent at most, Mr. Xiao, you should know that all the treatments for Si Nian have never been done before. Almost all of us are practicing on the basis of exploration and theory, and the final result is,
No one knows."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze felt an unknown fire in his heart, but he also knew that he had no reason to vent. These people were also working hard to treat his eldest brother.
Seeing that Xiao Yingze didn't speak for a long time, Gessen sighed softly.
"Mr. Xiao, please rest assured that we will do our best for tomorrow's surgery."
Xiao Yingze had been staying at the research institute. He was afraid of disturbing Masnian's rest, so he asked Gessen to arrange a lounge for him to catch up on the jet lag.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yingze specially cooked a Chinese meal in the cafeteria of the institute and sent it to Masnian's ward.
Seeing this sumptuous dinner, Masnian smiled slightly, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
"I really miss the days when the family can eat together. I didn't expect your cooking skills to improve so much."
After living in the research center for such a long time, I had been sleeping all the time and relied on nutrient solution to maintain my body's needs. When I woke up, although I didn't have to worry about three meals a day, they were all provided by the canteen of the research center.
Although these foods were carefully prepared for him by a nutritionist, Masnian, who has been accustomed to Chinese food since he was a child, still misses the hot rice and soup.
Xiao Yingze served Masnian a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of him and said.
"After your operation is successful and you return to Los Angeles, you can eat whatever you want. If you don't want to do it, I'll get it for you."
Xiao Yingze remembered that when they were young, Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou were busy and were away from home for a few days. Although Sister Zhang and the others were taking care of them at home, when it was time for meals, Masnian would personally cook one or two of their favorite dishes for him and Xiao Yingxi.
They are also used to letting Masnian cook when the three of them are at home.
When Masnian heard this, his eyes dimmed, but then he smiled lightly and said.
"Okay, when I get better, I must try your cooking skills."
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned the surgery, and no one thought about whether the surgery would fail.
Masnian also felt a warmth he had never experienced in the past six months. For a moment, he even doubted whether his original decision was right. It turned out that when he was helpless and scared, having his family by his side made him feel so at ease.
and solid.
After dinner, while Xiao Yingze was cleaning up, Masnian called Xiao Zichen.
The call was connected, and there was a brief silence on both sides of the phone. Finally, Xiao Zichen spoke first.
"Is it Si Nian?"
A low, slightly aged voice came, and Masnian's throat suddenly became harder to swallow, as if something was stuck in his throat, and he shouted hoarsely.
"Dad, it's me. I'm sorry for making you worry."
At this time, Xiao Zichen had just arrived at the company, and he felt a little excited when he heard a voice he had not heard for a long time, especially the belated call of dad, which immediately eliminated all the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.
"Si Nian, tell me, why didn't you tell us? Don't you plan to recognize your mother and me in the future?"
"No, Dad, I just... just..."
He hesitated for a long time, but didn't know how to answer. He was filled with emotions. Even through the phone, he could still feel the deep love of this stern father.
"Forget it, it's all over. Si Nian, you have to take good care of yourself. No matter what disease you have, we will treat it well, you know? Your mother and I will go to England to see you in a while."
When Xiao Zichen received this call, he made up his mind to go to England. As for Mo Yurou, he just mentioned it casually. As for whether to tell her, he still had to think about it.
Masnian on the other side of the phone heard this and immediately stopped him. Tomorrow's surgery was uncertain whether he would live or die, and he didn't want his mother to feel sorry for him again.
"Dad, don't tell mom. I'm going to have another surgery tomorrow. The success rate of the surgery is not high. Don't let mom worry about me. If I can survive this time, I will go back to Los Angeles."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, his heart tightened, but he was afraid that his worries would put pressure on Masnian, so he responded repeatedly.
"Okay, I won't tell your mother for now, Si Nian, remember, all of us miss you very much."
"Well, Dad, thank you."
By the time Xiao Yingze came back from cleaning up, Mas Nian had already ended the call with Xiao Zichen and was lying calmly on the bed. His face looked a little pale. When Xiao Yingze saw this, he immediately walked over nervously.
"Are you OK!"
Xiao Yingze remembered Gessen's reminder not to let Masnian have too much emotional ups and downs. He asked and pressed the alarm bell on the bedside. After a while, Gessen walked in and saw Masnian.
His face and expression became serious.
"How do you feel? Does your chest hurt?"
As Gessen spoke, he had already put on an oxygen mask on Masnian.
Masnian could only shake his head and said that nothing was wrong with him. Then Gessen gave Masnian a simple check and confirmed that there was nothing serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Gessen simply injected Masnian with a powerful sedative. After a while, Masnian fell into a deep sleep and then left the ward.
"Is his condition so serious? Didn't he look fine this morning?"
