376. Hidden Secrets
As soon as he stretched out his hand, his sleeve was pulled hard, and Roshi looked up at him with a pretended calm expression, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The man in front of him still looked calm and uncracked, but Luo Xi sensitively grasped the complexity that flashed in the depths of his eyes, and she knew that he had something to hide from her.
"Roshi, don't make a noise about the sugar core. He reached out again to pick up the child, and she suddenly got up, took his arm and dragged him forcibly to the balcony, the glass door shielded the small figure on C from the moonlight, and he stood face to face with her, their eyes met.
"What the hell is going on with that scar?" she looked at him urgently, "What did I not find before?"
Was she too careless? No, it shouldn't be like that.
His eyes flickered, but he still had to look into her eyes, "Luo Xi, are you ready to know the truth of the Dao?"
She was suddenly a little flustered, trying to squeeze out a self-comforting smile, "What truth, Lu Sheng, it's just a scar...... Don't say it so scary, okay?"
It doesn't matter if you have a scar, it's a big deal not to wear a low// breasted skirt or swimming/clothing in the future.
His hand clasped her thin shoulder, his face slightly drooped in the faint moonlight, he looked down at her, and felt a slight tremor under his palm, "I should have told you a long time ago, but ......"
He didn't finish, his dark eyes locked tightly on the expression on her face, "Roshi, listen to me." ”
"I'm listening. The smile was still on her lips, and she tried not to think of the worst guess.
"That scar is...... Left by surgery. Lu Sheng's words were low and slow, but they rang out like a bomb.
Roshi's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and his pink lips squirmed slightly, "What...... What surgery?"
"Heart surgery. ”
She froze in place, a sensation that was faster and stronger than when she had first discovered the scar, like a force that had knocked her to the ground.
Lu Sheng held her shoulder, and finally showed a look of pain in his eyes, "Sugar Core was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when she was born, and the doctor recommended surgery at that time, such a young child has just been born, I can't imagine what form she wants to lie on the operating table, but if she doesn't do surgery, she will die." I asked Aunt Zhang to take the baby, and that's the only thing you see her, and I signed the consent form and saw her being pushed into the operating room. ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to recall the scene of the year again, his tall body was even trembling slightly, as powerful as Lu Sheng, but he was just an ordinary father, an ordinary person who hoped that his daughter could grow up healthily.
Roshi clutched his arm tightly, her whole face almost buried in his chest, although she didn't see it with her own eyes, but now she listened to him tell the events of the year in this painful tone, his pain, his helplessness, his fear, she felt it all and remembered it vividly.
Congenital heart disease, this disease sounds scary, but when she was in the medical class, the teacher told her that as long as you get treatment early, after the successful operation, the child will grow up healthy like any other adult.
Thinking of this, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope again, the sugar core is still alive and kicking, does that mean that the operation was successful, but it just left a scar.
In the face of her expectant eyes, he really couldn't bear to smash her hope with his own hands, but as the mother of the child, there are some things that she should also have the right to know.
"Sugar core is a palliative surgery, which can only improve the symptoms but not the cure, that is, this surgery is to create conditions for future radical surgery, and her condition is very complicated, not ordinary congenital heart disease, but complex congenital heart disease that cannot be treated with current surgical methods. ”
The glimmer of light in her eyes was like a burnt bonfire, extinguished little by little, and the hand that clung to the hem of his shirt tightened suddenly.
"The doctor said she would only live to ...... at most Eight years old. ”
As soon as her body went limp, he hurriedly supported her and wrapped it in his arms, "Roxi, it's not that there is no hope at all, listen to me, I will figure out a way, I won't watch our daughter ......"
She cried out, covering her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from making a sound, the child was still sleeping, and she didn't want to alarm her.
Eight years old, only to live to be eight years old, this is too cruel for her, she has missed four years, she wanted to spend the rest of her life to make up for this shortcoming, but even this opportunity is gone.
She cried hoarsely in his arms, and her whole body went limp.
A dark cloud obscured the moonlight, and he sat on the cold ground with her in his arms, his resolute face finally loosening a little, and his eyes were scarlet.
He raised his head and looked at the oppressive sky, remembering that the doctor pointed to the film he couldn't understand and said some academic words that he couldn't understand, and the last thing he understood was those words, and he could only live to be eight years old at most.
At that time, his blood was surging, and he almost had to fight with other doctors.
Eight years old, how is it possible, his daughter has just been born, she is still so young, she can't speak or laugh, she hasn't seen the sunrise outside, she hasn't seen the bright moon at night.
The doctor is an authoritative expert, and family members like him seem to have long been accustomed to it, and he is good-tempered to soothe his emotions, he said that heart disease is divided into many kinds, and the one obtained by the small sugar core is the most complicated one, which cannot be cured with the current medical level, and he said some situations to pay attention to in the future, such as not being excited, not doing strenuous exercise, and eating lightly, he said a lot, but Lu Sheng only had those two words "eight years" in his mind over and over again.
Eight years...... It's not long, it's not short, and in a flash, the sugar core is already five years old.
He is not a god, even if he has tried his best all these years, but the results are not optimistic, despite this, he has never thought of giving up their daughter, the cute and sensible little one.
Rosie cried for a long time, and even her voice was hoarse, and when she slowly calmed down, many things that had been unexplainable before seemed to become clear all at once.
His cruelty back then was nothing but an extreme protection.
"That's why you didn't let me see my daughter back then, right?"
Her eyes were red, her eyes were already puffy from crying, and she looked at him with this watery gaze, full of distress.
He held her cold hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I had a seizure after the sugar core surgery, and I was staying outside the emergency room at the time, I thought, if she doesn't come out unharmed, I may not survive, Roshi, can you understand that feeling? That feeling......" He pressed her hand on his chest /// mouth," Here, it has never hurt so much, I don't want you to experience this kind of pain, since she can only live to be eight years old, then as long as I let you not see her, your relationship will be a little indifferent and alienated, if one day, she ...... She...... You won't hurt anymore......" He hung his head, forehead against hers, and she could feel the coldness on his face, "It really hurts...... It hurts......"
It's better to regret than to suffer!
