In the conference room, when Yu Zhi walked in, the smell of smoke filled the room.
Dr. Chen stood in front of the window. If not for this operation, he would not have to return to China.
He heard footsteps approaching, his hand shook, and then he took two big puffs until there was only a cigarette butt left in his hand.
Why.
He sighed.
Yu Zhi stood beside him, and Dr. Chen opened the window with a tired look on his face, "I'm sorry."
"You tried your best, right?"
Dr. Chen choked on a puff of cigarette, and the flesh on half of his face was trembling.
What else could he say? What else could he say?
"I thought it was okay, but I didn't expect that she couldn't hold it any longer just after the operation started. This little girl...she..."
Dr. Chen couldn't talk anymore, but he couldn't let Yu Zhi have any suspicion. This matter couldn't withstand careful investigation.
That's why the other party set up such a big trap, just to let the doctor whom he trusted so much say with his own words that Xu An only died because of a failed operation.
After all, this surgery is inherently high-risk.
"I thought I could save her life."
Yu Zhi took what Dr. Chen said, "She called me brother-in-law, and I thought I could keep her."
Dr. Chen's eyes were hurt by the smoke, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
As soon as Zhao Sinan woke up, he asked Jiang Huai to call Yu Zhi.
He originally didn't want to go there, but Zhao Sinan had a severe fever and her lungs were infected. She had no other relatives around, so the doctor could only find Yu Zhi.
He walked into the ward, and Zhao Sinan was lying there, his body turning over and over in pain.
Yu Zhi thought of the year when she was in a vegetative state, and how peaceful it would be, which would still make people feel sorry for her.
Zhao Sinan heard the footsteps, opened his eyes slightly, and spoke very softly, as if he had died.
"Stubborn."
A nurse was still nearby, pouring a glass of water for Zhao Sinan. She said dissatisfiedly to Yu Zhi: "What's going on with your family members? You are all injured like this, and there is no one to accompany you."
Even if Zhao Sinan takes a breath now, the skin all over his body feels like someone is cutting it with a knife.
"Is she in serious trouble?"
"It's not you who hit him, is it?" The nurse looked at Yu Zhi. His appearance was so outstanding that he was dazzling. He couldn't be a domestic violence man, right?
"No, it has nothing to do with him." Zhao Sinan hurriedly explained.
"She had a broken nose and several broken bones on her body. What kind of hatred is there? To beat a woman to death like this."
Yu Zhi said nothing, Jiang Huai walked in and asked the nurse to go out first.
"Master, Miss Zhao is going to be hospitalized. I have asked people to prepare all the daily necessities and a change of clothes."
Zhao Sinan raised his hand, trying to hold Yu Zhi, but he did not reach out.
"Have those people caught you? You must catch them..."
Yu Zhi walked to the other side of the hospital bed, preoccupied and even a little absent-minded. "There was an ambush where the ransom was paid, but the money was left there and no one took it."
"Didn't take it?" Zhao Sinan looked confused, "Aren't they here for the money?"
Yu Zhi stared at her swollen face, "Did they say anything in front of you?"
"You just said one thing and made me consider myself unlucky."
Zhao Sinan was a little confused from the fever, "I want to drink water."
Yu Zhi picked up the water glass on the bedside table and brought the mouth of the glass to Zhao Sinan's mouth. She took a hard sip and choked.
"Ahem——"
"It hurts, it hurts so much."
My whole body is falling apart.
Zhao Sinan held Yu Zhi's sleeve tightly, "Don't leave, I'm afraid, what if those people come back again? Yu Zhi..."
Just like Xu Yanqing said, both she and Zhao Sinan needed him at that time, but in his opinion, Zhao Sinan's life was in danger, so he put aside Xu Yanqing's hand.
He should have thought that if Xu An failed to hold on, Xu Yanqing would be worse off than dead.
He sent her a WeChat message, but nothing happened.
After Wang Linshan finished applying the water, Xu Yanqing called the nurse in and pulled out the intravenous needle.
She walked to the window and looked outside. It was getting dark.
Xu Yanqing always wants to find something to do for himself, but what can he do?
Yes, she should go buy something.
After a while, her mother wakes up, and even if she can't eat, she has to force her to eat, otherwise her body will collapse.
In fact, she had not really accepted the fact that An An had passed away. She walked to the opposite side of the hospital and ran a red light without even realizing it.
The car honked its horn hard, and the driver was almost mad at her. "You are sick. Don't hurt others even if you want to die."
"sorry."
Xu Yanqing stood on the sidewalk. The hustle and bustle of the city had not diminished at all. There was the fragrance of gardenias in the air and the smoke of fireworks wafting from roadside snack shops.
This is a special evening, and the weather is even so good.
Xu Yanqing looked around blankly, "An'an?"
She knew something was wrong, and her peace was gone.
Xu Yanqing walked around in circles. She had not shed a tear since hearing that An An's surgery had failed.
It was as if someone had woken her up. She originally thought she should go home, so she carried An An's favorite cake and said: I'm back!
But……
There is no An'an at home without her.
That good-natured An An, who would never lose her temper, is gone.
Xu Yanqing put her hands on the tree trunk next to her. She lowered her head and tears kept falling.
Each one hit hard and landed in front of her.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Next to them, an old couple passed by, and grandma looked at her with concern, "Nothing is impossible, don't be too sad."
Xu Yanqing nodded and wanted to say thank you.
But she was speechless and could only nod her head.
The old couple looked at the hospital opposite and sighed, as if they had guessed something.
After Xu Yanqing wiped away her tears, she went to buy a rice bowl.
When she returned to the hospital, there were several nurses standing in front of her, waiting for the elevator.
"Have you heard that a woman was beaten so severely that her whole body was injured and she was hospitalized?"
"I've heard about it too, but I don't know who is so cruel."
"Then have you seen her boyfriend?"
Xu Yan heard the sound of the elevator door opening, and she followed a few people inside.
"I didn't see it. Does she have a boyfriend?"
"I stayed with her in the ward, looking very distressed. Who else could she be if she wasn't her boyfriend? Let me tell you, that man is amazing, and he looks so... that he's going to turn all living beings upside down!"
Xu Yanqing tightened her grip on the packing bag in her hand.
"Is that woman's name... Zhao Sinan?"
"Yes, yes, the name is good."
Xu Yanqing held on to the elevator wall next to her, reached her floor, and ran out as if running away.
At this time, Yu Zhi was pacing in front of the ward. When he saw her coming, he relaxed.
