Chapter 56: The Last Words of Life and Death
This topic is too heavy to be explained in a few words.
It's just that Zhan Xingchuan's words just now can be regarded as completely arousing the originally hazy suspicion in Ran Xixi's heart. At that time, she was young and abroad, because she rarely returned to China, so she didn't know anything about the domestic economic situation, the specific situation at home, etc., although what her stepmother Ruan Fan said on the phone was suspicious, but she was not good at-for-tat after all, so she could only listen to it.
Zhan Xingchuan drove the car all the way into the parking lot of the hospital, found a vacant space, and parked quickly.
It can be seen that he is indeed very concerned about Uncle He's situation.
Ran Xixi didn't hold back, quickly followed, and went to the inpatient building with him. Zhan Xingchuan called, asked which floor and which ward she was in, and took her straight to the ward without delaying for a minute.
"Mr. Zhan, Uncle He had a stroke this time, and it is not very good...... Just rescued......"
A young man about thirty years old greeted him and told Zhan Xingchuan about Uncle He's situation in detail, Ran Xixi stood aside, listening to those words, and couldn't help frowning.
Amanda's father also suffered a stroke, and because he was found in time, he was rescued, but he was also unable to move half of his body, slurred his speech, and some food would come out of his mouth when eating. When he was discharged from the hospital, Ran Xixi and several colleagues of Craig also visited him, and unlike the suit and leather shoes in his memory, the old man was now helpless like a child, with a napkin around his chest, and it was extremely difficult to hold a spoon.
Therefore, Ran Xixi could hear that Uncle He had already stepped into the ghost gate this time, and if he wanted to recover in the future, it might take a long time to recuperate.
"Have you informed his children, go and make arrangements for his family to come as soon as possible. Also, go to two relevant experts for a consultation to see if these doctors are all the same statement, don't delay the condition. ”
After listening, Zhan Xingchuan pondered for a few seconds and quickly commanded.
The man immediately set about to do it, but before leaving, he glanced at Ran Xixi, who was standing next to him without saying a word, as if he didn't expect her to appear here.
"Does Uncle He have a child, I've never heard him talk about it......"
Seeing that Zhan Xingchuan was not in a hurry to go to the ward, Ran Xixi asked in a low voice, in his memory, he didn't seem to have heard that Uncle He had a family, he was the housekeeper of the Zhan family, and he had lived in the Zhan family all his life, as if he had become a member of the Zhan family.
He had a son, but soon after the child was born, he divorced his wife and the child went to his mother. It is said that it was because Uncle He met a woman when his wife was pregnant and fainted for her. In fact, the woman just watched him do things in the Zhan family, and won my father's trust, plus she was more lenient, so she came to cheat him out of money. Later, there was nothing to follow, in short, Uncle He has been single until now. After the first stroke, I asked people to look for his son, but they said they didn't want to have anything to do with him......"
You can't smoke in the hospital, Zhan Xingchuan took out a cigarette, held it in his hand, and put it away again.
With the birth of Zhan Ruijue, he rarely smokes at home anymore, and only comes to a pick-me-up when he is in a bad mood or when he is very tired. In the eyes of outsiders, everyone may think that Zhan Xingchuan will not be a good father, however, he has really made a lot of changes for his son.
Ran Xixi sighed and said quietly: "It's normal to not live with your father when you were born, and you haven't established a relationship. After all, we are not the parties involved, just bring the news, or don't be too strong. If he wants to come, he will come, everything depends on his own ideas. ”
Both of them fell silent, and after a while, Zhan Xingchuan suddenly asked: "You say, if Uncle He's wife endured it back then, would there be one more happy family in the world?"
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly frowned, and said coldly: "What kind of logic is this, the husband cheats, and the wife endures, just in exchange for a so-called integrity, and happiness in the eyes of others, if you have to talk about things, then, I can only say that I sympathize with the current Uncle He, but I can't sympathize with the former Uncle He." ”
Perhaps, men will always feel that no matter how big a mistake they make, as long as they are willing to turn back, there will be a woman who opens her heart to forgive him and tolerate him.
They only remember that there is a saying, which is called the prodigal son, and the money is not exchanged.
However, they have forgotten that there is another saying, which is called a misstep into a thousand years of hatred, and then a hundred years later.
Zhan Xingchuan could hear that Ran Xixi couldn't help but bring himself in, of course, he didn't think that Uncle He's derailment back then was a reasonable thing. It's just that seeing that he is now alone, and he is in his last years, he has experienced two strokes, and there are not many days left, so it is inevitable that he can't bear it.
"It's me who talks too much, and I shouldn't have discussed this with you. Let's go, go in and see Uncle He, I don't know if he's awake. ”
He took the initiative to end the conversation, took the lead and reached for a gentle push open of the door to the ward.
Seeing this, Ran Xixi also pursed his lips and quickly followed him.
The ward was very quiet, the thin Uncle He was lying quietly on the hospital bed, covered with a white quilt, even more withered, his eyes were tightly closed, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and he obviously hadn't woken up yet.
A middle-aged male nurse was sitting next to him, and when he saw Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi coming in, he also stood up and nodded slightly.
"Hello, are you his family,"
Judging by their age, the two visitors looked like the children of the patient, the nurse asked softly.
"Sort of. You can tell me anything. ”
Zhan Xingchuan stood on the side of the hospital bed, stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for Uncle He, raised his head and asked, "How long will he wake up?"
The nurse honestly told him that Uncle He's stroke this time was much more serious than the previous one, and even if he woke up, it might be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty in speaking and hemiplegia.
Although they knew that they couldn't do anything, Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi still didn't leave immediately.
After sitting for another half an hour, Uncle He seemed to sense something, and actually woke up.
Sure enough, as the nurse said, his speech was no longer clear, his tongue seemed to be out of control, muttering in his mouth, unable to say a word, and his face turned red.
"Uncle He, you rest first, and we'll talk about anything later. I know you want to see your son, I've sent someone to pick him up, and this time I'll definitely let you see him,"
Seeing that Uncle He was struggling to sit up, Zhan Xingchuan pressed his shoulder and persuaded him quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that he could see his son, Uncle He's mood calmed down a lot.
Zhan Xingchuan didn't lie, and two hours later, Uncle He's son had already rushed to the hospital. He looked the same age as Zhan Xingchuan, and he was also married, and this time he came with his wife, as well as his mother's daughter born after remarriage, and his half-sister, and the three of them came together.
"You can talk to him, the doctor said that Uncle He's condition is not good...... Let's go out first. ”
After speaking, Zhan Xingchuan pulled Ran Xixi out of the ward together.
They left the space alone to Uncle He and his son, but they were not sure if there would be any accidents after the father and son wanted to meet, and both of them were a little uneasy in their hearts, for fear that they would quarrel in the ward.
"Otherwise, you go back first,"
Zhan Xingchuan glanced at the time, it was already late, he was worried that Ran Xixi was too tired, but he couldn't let her go home alone.
She shook her head, not saying anything.
Uncle He's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law came out of the ward and saw Zhan Xingchuan, and they said that Uncle He wanted to say a few words to his son alone and let them come out first.
The four of them stayed in the hallway, all feeling a little embarrassed.
Soon, Uncle He's son also walked out of the ward, his eyes slightly red.
"Mr. Zhan, thank you for taking care of him. For the next two days, we will stay at the hotel opposite the hospital, and tomorrow morning, my mother will come with my stepfather, and then we will discuss what to do next. Thank you very much. ”
He shook Zhan Xingchuan's hand and took the initiative to thank him.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, of course, this kind of thing is best done by the immediate family, who is always an outsider.
left the mobile phone number of special assistant Ou Zihao to Uncle He's son, and then, Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi left the hospital together.
She has been working continuously for the past few days, and her body is a little overloaded, and she yawns again and again as soon as she gets in the car.
"You sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's time."
Zhan Xingchuan took a thin woolen blanket from the back seat of the car and handed it to Ran Xixi.
She hesitated, but didn't answer.
"It's Ruirui."
He looked at her deeply, understood for a moment why she hesitated, and took the initiative to explain.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Ran Xixi immediately grabbed the thin blanket in his hand, shook it off and covered his body, and then closed his eyes.
Zhan Xingchuan started the car and drove home.
Obviously very sleepy, but can't sleep, I don't know if the atmosphere of the hospital will always make people feel sad inexplicably, in short, Ran Xixi feels that every time he leaves the hospital, he will fall into negative emotions and find it difficult to extricate himself.
"Do you say, what will Uncle He say to his son, will he apologize to him, and hope to get their mother and son's forgiveness?"
Ran Xixi hugged the thin blanket, simply opened his eyes, and looked at Zhan Xingchuan.
He was concentrating on driving, half of his face in the shadows, looking like a quiet oil painting, frozen in this moment.
She looked a little distracted.
This face, which has appeared many times in countless foreign nights and in bloody dreams, is unforgettable.
"I don't know, maybe Uncle He didn't say anything, you see he can't say anything complete now. Most likely, father and son look at each other and don't have to say anything. ”
Zhan Xingchuan tried to imagine the scene at that time, and guessed.
