I was stunned, picked up my clothes and walked out.

"What's wrong?" the old man stood up.

"Guan Qing's grandmother is in the hospital, I have to go over and take a look. ”

"Which hospital?" the old man asked in Tsubaki's direction, and although he couldn't see Tsubaki's appearance, he knew that she was there.

"S Hospital. Tsubaki replied.

"Tsubaki said at S Hospital," I said, "I'll take a taxi." ”

"Don't take a taxi, there's a lot of traffic jam around there, you can ride a bicycle." The old man took a key from the cash register and gave it to me, "It's the one in the storeroom." ”

I nodded, ignoring the dust from the car that I hadn't ridden for years, and when I pushed it to the door, I found that Tsubaki had changed back to the appearance of a cat.

"Let's go, Tsubaki. I said.

The white cat jumped on my shoulder and looked back at the old man.

"Come with him. The old man waved his hand, "Be careful on the road." ”

It took less than half an hour to drag all the way to S Hospital, and I have to congratulate the old man for his wise decision, if I really took a taxi, it is estimated that I would still be stuck in traffic jams.

"Tsubaki, cats can't get into the hospital, you better become human. "I locked my bike and looked at the white cat crouching on the ground.

"Well, it's in the rescue room on the first floor. The white cat turned into a girl, pointed to the hospital and said, "Hurry up." ”

Tsubaki didn't know exactly what happened, she just wanted to go to Guan Qing to play, but when she arrived, she found that Guan Qing was standing at the door of his yard with many people, Guan Qing and the people around him said a few words and got into the ambulance, and when she heard the conversation of the people, Tsubaki knew that the old lady suddenly fainted at home half an hour ago.

Hospital S is the largest hospital in City A, and it is crowded with people at all times, and Tsubaki's guidance for me has attracted many strange eyes, after all, in the eyes of most people, I am just talking to the air, but now I don't care about that, because the kind old lady, the person who allowed me to open my heart for the first time in City A, the grandmother who often asked her grandson to bring me delicious food, and the elder who reminded me of what it was like to be at home, is now lying on the bed in the emergency room.

There are as many people at the door of the emergency room as in other places in the hospital, and people are constantly coming in and out, but unlike the rest of the hospital, the emergency room is like a mute with the mute skill turned on, except for when someone comes out and goes in, you can hear people talking, and the rest of the time is very quiet.

Through the various standing and sitting people, I saw a man sitting on a bench in the aisle, he was bent over, his hands clasped together on his chin, his elbows resting on his knees, his eyes looking straight at the hospital tiles, and he did not notice me sitting next to him.

"You're alright. I patted him on the shoulder.

He suddenly came to his senses, turned his head to see me, and squeezed out a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

This is the first time I have seen Guan Qing like this, and in addition to exhaustion, there is helplessness in my expression. Even in the last incident with You Zhen, Guan Qing did not show such helpless eyes as today.

"Tsubaki happened to see it when I went to look for you, so I came back and told me. I looked at the wall, and Tsubaki was standing there, his eyes full of concern.

"Oh, Tsubaki is here, too. He followed my gaze and looked at the wall, "Thank you." ”

I didn't speak again, I sat next to him quietly, the old lady was later transferred to the ICU, and the doctor only allowed Guan Qing to enter alone, and Tsubaki and I could only wait for him outside.

When Guan Qing came out of the ICU, the doctor was talking to him about something, and he nodded and walked towards me with a solemn face.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked.

"Massive cerebral infarction. He said, "The doctor said it wasn't good." ”

“... You're the only one at home?"

"My dad came to sign and went to the company, my mom was rushing back from outside, after my grandfather died, my grandmother had the final say behind the Guan Group, she suddenly collapsed, and the company was a mess. Guan Qing sighed, "When my grandmother fainted, my dad told me that I should only come alone, and the fewer people who know, the better, and he just signed and left made me angry, but now, I think he did the right thing." ”

I didn't say anything, there are too many helpless things in a family like Guan Qing, and I can't comment at will.

"When I saw my grandmother in front of me, there was a family next to me and the doctor who said that they didn't plan to continue living in the ICU, because it was too expensive, I used to think that money didn't matter, more to spend, less to spend, but just now I was suddenly very glad that my family didn't have to think about money, and suddenly understood why my dad would rather leave his critically ill grandmother and go back to the company. ”

Guan Qing took out his mobile phone to show me, and news has appeared on the Internet: The head of the house behind him suddenly fell ill, what is the future of the Guan family?

"News of these people is also too fast. I said.

"If my dad doesn't go back to deal with all kinds of things, the company will be in a mess now, and the front of the ward has long been surrounded by water, and there are already many consortia that have been peeping at the Guan family, and this time it will definitely make a fuss about grandma's illness. ”

"I can do something. ”

"It's nothing, we just have to wait for grandma to wake up. I'm glad you're here with me, and Tsubaki, it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing when I'm so old, and I'm really a little overwhelmed by myself. ”

"You're welcome with both of us," I said, "I've told the old man that Tsubaki and I will be with you today." ”

At dinner, I met Guan Qing's father for the first time, and unlike the tall and majestic I imagined, his father was a man who looked a little thin, spoke little, and wore a simple shirt and jeans, if I didn't say it, I couldn't tell that this person was Guan Qing's father, and I couldn't imagine how such a person could have been stable and developed such a large Guan group with Guan Qing's grandmother.

However, this thought only stopped before Guan Qing's father began to speak.

"You're Ye Ke. The thin middle-aged man asked me, the strength in his tone contrasting greatly with his appearance.

"Yes, hello uncle. ”

"I often hear the old lady mention you, thank you for coming to see her. He nodded at me, and went to the doctor to inquire about the situation, leaving me inexplicably and Guan Qing who was also inexplicable.

"Why..."Guan Qing wanted to ask me, "Forget it, I guess you don't know why, grandma is a little strange sometimes." ”

I nodded, in fact, I am not surprised that the old lady would mention me, after all, there was a matter of Qingsu, I wonder why the old lady would mention me to Guan Qing's father, it is estimated that Guan Qing and I have the same thoughts.

After a while, the thin middle-aged man came back to us from the doctor, "Guan Qing, you go back and rest first, I'll be here tonight," not to discuss with Guan Qing, but more like an order, "Tell your mother when you come back tomorrow morning, go and prepare what should be prepared." ”

“... What do you mean, what should you prepare?" Guan Qing's eyes began to redden.

"Prepare for the aftermath. ”

"Grandma hasn't done much, and the doctor hasn't said anything, what do you mean by that?" Guan Qing's voice suddenly raised, and several people in the hospital looked over.

"It's not been long since the doctor said that your grandmother could have heart failure at any time, or worse. ”

"But it doesn't mean you have to give up!" Guan Qing became more and more excited, and I had to pull his arm and shake my head at him.

"Otherwise, your grandmother's illness is not a matter of one or two days, even if she is rescued again, it is only a matter of one or two more days, and it is impossible to live with the same quality as before, what kind of person is your grandmother, can she endure being intubated and put on a ventilator just to prolong a meaningless life for a day or two? Can she endure that kind of undignified death?" In the face of Guan Qing's questioning and his mother's critical illness, the man's tone did not have the slightest wave.

Guan Qingxiang was poured with cold water, and instantly quieted down.

"You just don't dare to take the responsibility of giving up treatment, and if you can't even face death, you can't face anything else in the future. The man of the Guan family can't be so unassertive. Leaving this sentence and nodding with me, Guan Qing's father turned to leave.

"Are you okay?" I asked Guan Qing, who was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

"Well, I'm fine. He said, "My dad is right, grandma is such a proud person, she must hope that she can leave with dignity, instead of inserting all kinds of tubes just to maintain her life for a day or two, if she is conscious now, she will definitely choose to do so." ”

"Well, I think so too, let's go, go home and have a good rest, and I will have energy during the day tomorrow. ”

"Good. ”

Guan Qing and I walked out of the hospital, Tsubaki turned back into a white cat and followed us, suddenly Tsubaki meowed, saying nothing and not leaving, at this time a voice sounded on the side of the road:

"Lord Yeke, I have arrived when I hear your call, and I hope it will not be too late. ”
