In the dim light of morning, Murong Shui woke up surrounded by the sound of birdsong and found himself in a special care ward, surrounded by spotless white walls and the faint pungent smell of disinfectant.
A gleam of early morning light shone on the hospital bed from the window, making Murong Shui find that his whole body was inlaid with a layer of golden outline, like a dream.
It turns out that being alive is such a beautiful feeling.
Murong Shui sighed and wanted to sit up, but suddenly she found herself in a mess of pain all over her body. When she turned her head and looked to her side, the scene in front of her made her heart freeze instantly.
Countless instruments of all kinds are placed around him, with transparent tubes connected to holes of all sizes. These cold metals and rubbers remind him all the time how miserable it is to save this little life.
easy.
In her memory, Murong Shui only remembered that she desperately protected her daughter in her arms before the explosion, and she seemed to have seen countless foreign particles opening towards her like bullets.
But she has no memory of what happened. She only knows that her body feels very bad now. Moreover, she is now in the special care unit, which means... her injury is so serious that she needs to use machinery to maintain her life.
The point?
Could it be that... at such a young age, I can only spend the rest of my life with cold machines?
Thinking of this, a huge feeling of fear invaded my heart.
Murong Shui tried to get up with support, but found that most of his body was too numb to move.
She wanted to shout, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't breathe.
She was worried about Xu Tiannan and urgently wanted to know whether he survived the explosion.
But at this time, she could do nothing. She was like a useless person, lying quietly on the hospital bed like a piece of wood. Maybe she would remain in this state for decades before she could finally be relieved by death.
Suddenly, the door of the ward was opened by several young nurses. They pushed the medical cart and hurried in. As if they were racing against death, they quickly powered on the terrible machines around them, and then pulled out several more...
The scary cannulas and needles.
Finally, Murong Shui's emotions collapsed, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably. The fear of having to rely on machines for the rest of her life almost made her lose her belief in living.
So at this moment, she made a sad and helpless decision. She used all her strength to speak to the nurses in front of her.
--"doctor……"
——"This is not the life I want..."
——"Give up on me, just let me leave in peace..."
——"Don't torture me anymore, please, I just hope to retain the last trace of dignity before leaving this world..."
——"Thank you...but please give up on me..."
As soon as the words fell, the attention of several busy young nurses was immediately attracted, and they all looked at Murong Shui.
Afterwards, a young nurse came over and looked at Murong Shui on the hospital bed with a frown, her eyes seeming to be sighing and angry.
Finally, the other party let out a long sigh, walked quickly to the door of the ward, and shouted into the corridor: "Head nurse! We can't do our job! Not only did the gang from the Public Security Bureau occupy the entire corridor, they are still sleeping there.
They are in our special care ward, hurry up and take care of them!"
Murong Shui's head didn't turn around for a while, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Sister...sister? What did you just say about me?"
The little nurse came over angrily, lifted up the quilt on Murong Shui, and scolded: "Who asked you to sleep in our special care ward? Do you know that you have polluted this place? You will be sent here later."
What should I do with the critically ill patients?”
Murong Shui was completely dumbfounded, but when she saw Xing Ye sitting on a stool next to the hospital bed, sleeping with most of her body lying on her body, she finally understood her situation.
It turned out... that he was not paralyzed, but that half of his body was squeezed by Xingye and his blood was blocked and he was numb.
After such a fuss, Xing Ye finally sat up while rubbing her drowsy eyes. She glanced around at the glaring young nurses in front of her, then patted Murong Shui and said, "Come on, I'll find a new place for you."
sleep."
"Sleep with you!"
The other nurse was finally unhappy and chased after the two of them, chattering: "This is the inpatient department. You really think of this as your home! Where do you want to sleep? Hey! Stop..."
Murong Shui was suddenly pulled out of the hospital bed by Xingye. Half of her body was numb, making her whole thigh feel sore and itchy like a cramp. She was pulled out by Xingye while screaming.
After a long time, Murong Shui figured out what was going on.
It turned out that he had just hit his head in yesterday's explosion and passed out, and the only medicine the doctor prescribed for him was a small bottle of safflower oil and an instruction to take a good rest.
However, Xingye, who was responsible for taking care of himself, felt that the emergency room was too noisy in the middle of the night, so he simply took the hospital bed and pushed himself to the quieter inpatient department. He found a ward that looked good and slept in it.
Touching the small bottle of safflower oil in his hand, Murong Shui couldn't help but blush at his performance just now, so he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Where is Nannan? How is Nannan?"
Xingye: "My arm is twisted a little. I guess it's been a little inconvenient for me to do my homework recently."
"Where's the boss... where's the boss!"
Hearing that Nannan was okay, Murong Shui felt temporarily relieved, and then hurriedly asked about Xu Tiannan's situation, fully expecting the other party to tell him some good news.
However, Xingye's expression suddenly became solemn, and she didn't speak for a long time. This expression made Murong Shui's heart rise to her throat.
She did not continue to ask, but saw Xu Tiannan's name on the sign at the nurse's station, and he lived in Ward 14.
So Murong Shui didn't say anything, and immediately limped towards the depths of the corridor. She never believed that Xu Tiannan would abandon her, but the solemn expression on Xingye's face just now made her heart skip a beat at this moment.
Lifted it up.
No way?
The boss feels uncomfortable...
Thinking of this, Murong Shui almost burst into tears. The short distance from the nurse station to Ward 14 felt like a lifetime.
Just after Murong Shui stumbled away, Xingye shook her head and took out a small earphone from her ear. It turned out that a phone ringing sound suddenly came from her earphone just now, which made her not hear what the other party was asking.
Then, Xingye raised his head and saw Murong Shui's hurried appearance. He couldn't help but said to himself in confusion: "What did she just ask me?"
…
The moment Murong Shui pushed open the door of Ward 14, he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that his legs became weak and he collapsed to the ground helplessly.
Although she had already been mentally prepared, when she saw the scene in front of her, various complex emotions such as pain, sadness, and despair burst out in her heart instantly, as if Murong Shui was torn into pieces at this moment.
On the clean bedside, Xu Tiannan's name was written on the small sign. At this time, the other party's body was actually covered with a layer of white sheet, covering his whole body.
Of course Murong Shui understood that in order to prevent germs from spreading from the deceased's mouth and nose, doctors would cover the deceased's body with white cloth when the patient died to express the greatest respect for the deceased.
But Murong Shuiru would not believe it no matter what, that the man she liked and relied on would walk in front of her like this. She was in so much pain that her chest felt like she had lost her breath, and she could not even cry loudly.
Tears fell to the ground. Murong slumped on the ground helplessly, and said to Xu Tiannan in her extremely painful and hoarse voice: "Come back... please... come back..."
But Xu Tiannan didn't respond at all on the hospital bed, and the air was so cold that it seemed like it was frozen at this moment.
"Eh? Why are you here again?"
The little nurse who was in the special care ward just now passed by here again for some reason. When she saw Murong Shui slumped on the ground crying, her face was full of confusion, and she didn't understand what the other person was doing.
Then, the young nurse walked to Xu Tiannan's bed, gently tore off the white cloth covering Xu Tiannan's body, and then hung it back on the wire hook above his head, muttering: "What! The people in the logistics office really don't know.
What are you doing! I don’t know how long this hook has been broken, but we can’t replace it with a new one. It’s so old and annoying!”
"Well?"
Murong Shui wiped her tears and looked at the little nurse in front of her stupidly. When the other party put the white cloth back on the hook, Xu Tiannan's face seemed to be rubbed by the white cloth in his sleep. He felt a little itchy, so he moved his nose and mouth.
Liba chattered in his sleep and said: "Stop, stop making trouble, eat... I can't eat anymore..."
