Chapter 369: An explanation is owed
Tan Zhen closed her eyes, she was a little flustered from the time Gu Mochen called her, who would have thought that there would be such an accident.
"What the hell is going on? How did your mom run out at night? ”
Gu Mian shook his head, unwilling to say a word.
Tan Zhen sighed, didn't ask, touched her hair and comforted: "If you're tired, close your eyes and rest for a while, my aunt is here."
Suddenly there was a messy footstep in the corridor, and she looked up to see that it was the Gu family who had arrived in a hurry. The leader was Gu Mochen, followed by Gu Yongrui and Xu Xiangzhi, the two of them supported Gu Wang, who had inconvenient legs and feet, and Gu Ying was at the back.
Gu Mochen was also very embarrassed, his clothes were wet from the rain, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be something blocking his throat: "What did the doctor say?" How's she doing? How long have you been in? ”
Gu Mochen clenched his fists, eager to hit himself in the face.
Although Tan Zhen didn't know exactly what was going on, she clearly felt that Gu Mian's body trembled after hearing his voice, and her intuition told her that everything that happened tonight was inseparable from Gu Mochen. Her tone wasn't very friendly: "I don't know. ”
"Tan Zhen!"
"This is the hospital, please don't make a loud noise." Tan Zhen said, "I'm telling the truth, I'm not a doctor, and I really don't understand the situation." ”
Gu Mochen lowered his gaze and inadvertently swept to the corner of his bloodstained clothes: "Mianmian, are you okay?" ”
Gu Mian didn't speak, nor did he look at him.
It's all his fault, if he hadn't done anything wrong, his mother wouldn't have run out of the house heartbroken, and such an accident wouldn't have happened.
Blame him!
Seeing this scene, Gu Wang only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he staggered a step, if Gu Yongrui hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Dad, I'll help you sit down over there." Xu Xiangzhi held his other arm and comforted, "Sister-in-law Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will be safe." ”
Gu Wang waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to support him, he knew that Tan Man had an unshirkable responsibility for the car accident. It's that he's old and confused, because he made the wrong decision because of a thought.
He walked up to Gu Mian and stopped, bent down and whispered, "Mianmian, it's all grandpa's fault, grandpa didn't consider your and your mother's feelings, grandpa apologized to you." ”
Gu Mian was still silent, leaning on Tan Zhen's arms as if he was asleep.
Tan Zhen said: "I'm tired from sleeping, let's talk about anything when my sister wakes up." ”
Gu Wang straightened up and looked at Gu Mian, feeling uncomfortable.
The family waited outside the operating room.
Minutes and seconds passed, and the operation lasted until the second half of the night, and everyone was exhausted, but no one was sleepy, all staring at the operating room.
There was a "bang", which shocked everyone, and it was the lights in the operating room that went out.
The door opened, and the doctor in a green sterile gown stepped out of it, removing his mask and fine beads of sweat on his forehead. As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by everyone, and Gu Mochen asked, "Doctor, how is my wife doing?" ”
The doctor's expression was serious: "The operation was successful, and the patient is not in danger of life at the moment." ”
Before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he said: "But she injured her spine and legs, and I'm afraid she won't be able to walk for a long time. ”
Gu Mochen grabbed his hand: "Doctor, you can make it clear......"
"Excuse me, don't stand in the way."
Several medical staff pushed the hospital bed out, and Tan Man was lying on it, because the effect of the anesthetic had not passed, and she had not yet woken up.
The doctor said, "We will discuss the specific situation when the patient wakes up." ”
……
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the ward, warm and bright.
Tan Zhen and Gu Mian stood by the bed, staring at the people on the bed. Her face looked pale as paper due to blood loss, and her lips were equally pale. The wound on the arm was treated by the doctor, wrapped in two circles of gauze, and blood seeped out, and the middle part was darker.
Five hours have passed since the end of the operation, and she has not woken up.
Gu Mian looked at the leg covered by the quilt, and the doctor's words sounded in his ears again, and his mother needed to be rebuilt in order to have the possibility of standing up again.
Originally, she thought that the tears had dried up, but she still couldn't control the tears when she thought of this.
She didn't make a sobbing sound, and the tears just ran down the corners of her eyes, slid down her cheeks and jaws, and fell on her clothes.
By the time Tan Zhen found out, she was already in tears.
She pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears, and said in a voice that was as quiet as possible to the patient, "It's okay, the doctor said the operation was a success." If Mom wakes up and sees you crying, she's even sadder. Listen to my aunt and don't cry. ”
Gu Mian sobbed and said, "But the doctor said ......"
"Have you forgotten what your uncle does?" Tan Zhen interrupted her, "He is an authoritative medical expert in the UK, although he does not specialize in orthopedics, he has many powerful colleagues who are experts in this field. I called him and explained your mother's condition, and he consulted a friend and said that there was a good chance of recovery. ”
Gu Mian raised his head to look at her, there were still tears on his eyelashes, fragile like a porcelain doll: "You didn't lie to me?" ”
"When your uncle heard about it, he immediately booked a ticket back to China, and when he came, you asked him in person to know if my aunt was lying."
Tan Zhen touched her hair to soothe her emotions.
At the end of the operation in the middle of the night, Gu Mian's body, which had been tense all night, instantly relaxed, could no longer support it, and slipped to the ground softly.
The Gu family was all guarding in the hospital, so she drove Gu Mian back to her house and asked her to take a shower and change into clean clothes to rest for a while.
She curled up on the edge of the bed, the quilt was tightly wrapped around her body, even in her sleep, her eyebrows did not stretch, and her mouth kept calling "Mommy".
Tan Zhen didn't have time to rest, stood by the bay window for half an hour, took out his mobile phone and called his younger brother who was far away in the UK.
The actual situation is not as optimistic as she told Gu Mian, Tan Qian said that his orthopedic friend did not see the detailed examination results and could not draw conclusions, but listening to her description, it is possible that a second operation may be necessary.
In order not to worry Gu Mian, she could only hide the situation first and wait for Tan Qian to come over before making plans.
This morning, she originally wanted Gu Mian to stay at home to rest, but as soon as she walked out of the door, she woke up and asked to come to the hospital with her.
Gu Yongrui and his wife helped the elderly old man Gu to go home, Gu Ying had to go to school in the afternoon and left, only Gu Mochen stayed in the ward alone, but she was kicked out.
Her tone was not good, and he was not angry, standing outside the hospital room and waiting.
No one told her what happened, judging from Gu Mian's attitude towards Gu Mochen and Old Man Gu's apology to Gu Mian, she already had a guess in her heart, but she couldn't believe it.
Tan Zhen lowered her eyes and looked at her sister who had her eyes closed, she had an infusion needle on the back of her hand, and the medicine was dripping down and flowing into her body along the needle.
Suddenly, the person on the hospital bed opened his eyes and met her gaze, Tan Zhen's face was happy: "Sister, are you awake?" ”
Gu Mian also found that her mother was awake, and stood up and came to her: "Mom! ”
Tan Man didn't speak, closed her eyes and slowed down for a while, the picture before the accident last night flashed in her mind, she was passing through Ma Gu and facing a truck coming on, she wanted to dodge but was too late, and finally the truck hit her hard.
With a tingle in her brain, she furrowed her eyebrows, remembering why she was swaying on the horse on a rainy night.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is the wound painful? I'll call a doctor! Gu Mian saw her expression in pain, thinking that it was the effect of the anesthetic that had passed the pain of the wound.
Tan Zhen pressed her shoulder, stayed her in the ward, and went out to call the doctor by herself.
She opened the door and noticed Gu Mochen standing by the door, he was still as embarrassed as last night, he hadn't closed his eyes all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and his chin had stubble.
He looked at her with a look of concern: "She's awake, isn't she?" ”
Tan Zhen ignored him and walked straight past him to the elevator on the other side of the corridor.
Gu Mochen couldn't help but gently push open the door in front of him, only to see Gu Mian holding Tan Man's hand, putting his side face on the back of her hand, and muttering, "Great, it's great that you can wake up." ”
No one knows how scared she was last night, and the moment she saw her mom hit by a car, she thought she was going to lose her forever.
There was a wet touch on the back of his hand, Tan Man moved his fingers, and his voice was hoarse: "Don't cry, mom won't leave your ......"
She was stunned, and suddenly saw Gu Mochen who appeared in the ward at some point.
As soon as she saw him, she couldn't help but think about what he had done, and the two emotions kept tearing at her, making her heart ache unbearably. On the one hand, she told herself that it was not his fault that such a thing happened, that he did not mean it, and that he was also a victim, and on the other hand, she could not bear the physical betrayal of her husband.
Gu Mian slowly raised his head and looked at his father, who was standing in the middle of the ward at a loss, not knowing how to face him.
"Vine ........."
"Get out, I don't want to see you now." Tan Man closed his eyes and turned his head away from him.
Soon, Tan Zhen brought the doctor over, and when he walked to the door, he happened to hear this sentence, and he was even more sure that he had made an unforgivable mistake, and he was not polite to him at all: "She is already like this, are you sure you still want to stimulate her?" ”
Emotional excitement is indeed not good for the patient's body, Gu Mochen sighed and silently withdrew from the ward.
The doctor arranged a series of examinations for Tan Man, and then did not diagnose in front of the patient, but called Tan Zhen aside alone.
Tan Zhen asked, "Doctor, how is my sister?" How long will it take for her leg to return to normal? ”
The doctor shook his head: "The situation is not very optimistic. ”
At the time of the examination, the patient was unconscious in the lower half of his body, just like the diagnosis he had made when he first came out of the operating room. If you want to fully recover and walk like a normal person, whether it is for the patient or the patient's family, I am afraid it will be an uphill battle, and three or five years are uncertain.
Tan Zhen's strong pretense in front of Gu Mian finally collapsed, and her back hit the wall hard, and she didn't feel pain.
The doctor was relieved: "Now that medicine is so advanced, as long as the patient is willing to actively cooperate with the treatment, he will recover." I don't recommend hiding it from the patient, she has to be mentally prepared. ”
