The General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, codenamed **, is the country's leading tertiary hospital, which has long been responsible for the medical care of high-level leading cadres such as the head of the Central Committee of the Chinese ruling party and the head of the headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Today, the ICU ward of the General Hospital welcomes a wanderer who has been away from home for more than 20 years.

When Han Xuehua got out of the car, his feet couldn't help but tremble, and he was about to see his father, and the tension in Han Xuehua's heart was incomprehensible. Fang Yang stepped forward and grabbed his mother's arm, Han Lingfei, who was carrying the rank of lieutenant general, silently accompanied Han Xuehua, and the group went directly to the elevator through the special passage.

Area B of the ICU ward has been isolated, and two special soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition at the entrance of the corridor stand vigilantly, although Han Lingfei personally brought people here, but the sentry still meticulously checked everyone's documents, and only after registration was released.

After entering Area B, there is a corridor that is not too long, and at the end is the ICU ward where Mr. Han is located. The corridor was very quiet, and the footsteps of several people were particularly clear, as if they were hitting Han Xuehua's heart all at once, making her heart beat faster.

Gu Lin, who was wearing a white coat, stood at the door of the ward, and when she saw Han Xuehua and others coming, she quickly greeted her, and nodded slightly towards Han Xuehua.

Han Lingfei asked:

"How's the old man doing?"

"In the past two days, it has been relatively stable, and the indicators have not continued to deteriorate. However, he is still in a deep coma and does not respond to external stimuli......"

Han Lingfei nodded slightly and said:

"You take Xiaohua there, I'll wait for you in the lounge next to you......"

Gu Lin nodded and said to Han Xuehua:

"Xiaohua, although the old man is in a coma, we still can't give him too much stimulation, and we have to prevent any unexpected situations from happening, so you can only take a look outside today, and you can only enter the ward after our medical team has fully assessed the risk."

Gu Lin had a hint of apology on her face. She knew that what happened back then was also one of the knots in the old man's heart, and she slapped her daughter away that year, and she didn't come back for more than 20 years. Now, if the old man knows about his daughter's return, it is difficult to guarantee that an uncontrollable situation will occur under the intense stimulation, and from the perspective of safety, Han Xuehua is indeed not suitable to enter the ward.

But this is a bit cruel for a daughter who has been separated from her father for more than 20 years.

Han Xuehua was still reasonable, she nodded slightly, with a gloomy look in her eyes, and said:

"Okay, I understand. Let's go......"

Gu Lin looked at Han Xuehua with some concern, sighed secretly in her heart, and led the way first.

After walking to the door of the ward in a few steps, Gu Lin pushed the door open. The gentle squeaking sound seemed to beat the drum of the heart, making Han Xuehua couldn't help but tremble slightly, Fang Yang hurriedly hugged his mother and walked towards the ward.

The ICU room is divided into two areas, the inside of which is completely isolated and sterile, and all personnel entering must be fully disinfected and wear special sterile gowns. Outside, there is an area for daily family visits. Between the inner and outer areas is a transparent glass wall.

As soon as Gu Lin entered the room, she stepped aside and made way for Han Xuehua. Han Xuehua walked in with Fang Yang's support. She raised her eyes with difficulty to look at the inner ward, and suddenly her whole person seemed to have been immobilized, and she stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time, and two lines of tears silently slid down her cheeks.

Through the glass, Fang Yang could clearly see an old man lying quietly on the hospital bed in a hospital gown, his body was full of tubes, and the various medical instruments in the ward were flickering, looking shocking. The old man's hair was almost completely white, he was so thin that he was skinny, lying on the bed as if he had no weight, a sickly dead gray appeared on his face, Fang Yang knew at a glance that the founding general was only a stone's throw away from the end of his life.

Although the old man fell into a deep coma, there was still a resolute look on his face, Fang Yang could imagine what a majestic gaze the old man's closed eyes would exude now when he was healthy! Even if he was lying on the bed waiting for death, the killing aura on his body was still extremely strong, and only the old man who had crawled out of the mountains of corpses and blood in the war years could have such a momentum without anger!

Han Xuehua's knees weakened, and she knelt on the ground, her hands were lying on the glass wall, and tears fell like raindrops. At first, he just shrugged his shoulders and sobbed silently, but suddenly, Han Xuehua let out a heart-rending cry full of remorse and apology:

"Daddy......"

Immediately after that, she threw herself on the glass wall and cried, Gu Lin hurriedly walked to the door and closed the door tightly, fortunately, the internal area was completely vacuum soundproofed, and it was not afraid that Han Xuehua's crying would alarm the old man.

Fang Yang watched Han Xuehua cry loudly, he didn't step forward to comfort him, but silently walked to the side and stood quietly. He knew that Han Xuehua had vented the bitterness in his heart for more than 20 years, and he had to let her vent at this time, otherwise it would be easy to hurt his body.

Han Xuehua's cry gradually became smaller, and in the hazy tears in her eyes, she stared closely at her father on the hospital bed across the wall, the old man at the moment of death was very different from the father image in her mind, in Han Xuehua's impression, her father was like a tall and majestic green mountain, which was her childhood dependence. Although his father often blows his beard and stare at him and loses his temper, in Han Xuehua's mind, his father will always be the most capable person, and nothing seems to be able to stump him.

Now, Invincible Time has struck my father down and will soon take him away......

In a trance, Han Xuehua seemed to have returned to his childhood, it was a carefree era, although his father was busy with military affairs all day long, as long as he had leisure, he would accompany Han Xuehua to play with a smile, and he did not have the usual majesty at all.

"Daddy! I'm going to ride a big horse! Kill the enemy! ”

"Okay! My baby girl rides a big horse! ”

Han Changzheng lowered his body with a smile, let Han Xuehua ride on his neck, and then stood up suddenly, startling Han Xuehua on his shoulder with a string of screams.

"Daddy! I want to be a PLA! ”

"No problem!"

Han Changzheng didn't say a word, took off his military hat and handed it to his daughter around his neck, Han Xuehua proudly put the military hat on his head, the military hat was so big that it almost covered her eyes, but Han Xuehua didn't care, and shouted:

"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”

Han Changzheng immediately ran obediently in the yard, and Han Xuehua laughed like a silver bell from time to time:

"Oh! I'm a PLA! I'm riding a big horse in the People's Liberation Army! ”

In that small courtyard full of grapevines, there was no majestic founding general, only a father who licked the calves affectionately, carrying his daughter and spreading laughter wantonly, and the laughter seemed to have traveled through time and space, echoing in Han Xuehua's heart again......

Gradually, in Han Xuehua's tearful eyes, the tall father figure who always had a straight waist in the past slowly coincided with the old man in the ward who was dying......

"Dad, the unfilial daughter is back to see you, open your eyes and look at me......"

Han Xuehua choked up and muttered to herself.

However, the old man still lay quietly on the hospital bed, not moving. If it weren't for the bedside instrument showing that the old man still had a pulse and heartbeat, there would be an illusion that the old man had passed away.

Han Xuehua was sad, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, she still knelt on the ground, lowered her head deeply, only her shoulders were constantly shaking, and she was extremely excited.

Seeing this, Gu Lin gave Fang Yang a look. Fang Yang willingly stepped forward to hold Han Xuehua's arm, and said:

"Mom, get up first! If the old man knew that you had come back to see him, he would be very happy in his heart......"

"Yes, Xiaohua! Fang Yang is right, after so many years, the old man must not blame you in his heart, you can come back to see her, if he knows, he must only be happy in his heart! Gu Lin also stepped forward to persuade him.

Han Xuehua slowly stood up with Fang Yang's support. Gu Lin knew that Han Xuehua couldn't be allowed to continue to be excited, otherwise it would really hurt his body, so he said:

"Xiaohua, let's go to the next lounge to rest for a while! Anyway, now that you're back, you can come and see Dad at any time! ”

Han Xuehua nodded silently, and reluctantly looked back at his father on the hospital bed before leaving the ward with Fang Yang's support.

Pushing open the door of the lounge, Fang Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Han Xuehua was also stunned, in addition to Han Lingfei in the smoky lounge, there were several people sitting on the sofas on both sides, all of them not looking very good.

As soon as Fang Yang and Han Xuehua entered the door, everyone's eyes fell on them. With his understanding of the family in his previous life, these people Fang Yang are not strangers, because they are all some core figures of the Han family.

A middle-aged man in a white short-sleeved shirt sitting next to Han Lingfei saw Han Xuehua, and his face also showed a trace of excitement, and he couldn't help but stand up, his voice trembling slightly:

"Xiaohua ......"

Fang Yang recognized this person at a glance as Han Junfei, member of the Standing Committee of the Southern Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, the second son of Old Man Han, and he was his second uncle in this life.

"Second brother......" Han Xuehua was also a little excited when she saw the second brother who also had white frost on his temples.

I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, the eldest brother and the second brother have already stepped into the posts of senior leading cadres, and the Han family has also branched out into a huge political family, and my father is finally no match for the magic hand of time, and he is about to die.

Han Lingfei said calmly:

"Little sister, have you seen Dad? Come and sit next to me! ”

At this time, a cold snort came from the side sofa
