Chapter 22: This Woman, I Love Her.
When Chen Ruya woke up, the afternoon sun was warm. In the fog, she felt that her hand was being held, she slightly turned her head sideways to look at the bed, and what caught her eye was such a scene, the girl who had grown up unconsciously was lying on the side of the bed holding her hand and fell asleep, the sun shone in, and was divided into wisps by the window lattice, all sprinkled on her body, I don't know if it was a dream, the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly upturned one second, and the next second it was deflated, her brows were furrowed, and she looked so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
Chen Ruya looked at it, and suddenly felt that something slipped off her face, raised her hand and touched it, only to realize that she didn't know when, she actually cried. How long has it been? I don't have a chance to take a good look at her like I do now.
I was sighing in my heart, when I suddenly heard the door of the ward creak open, and Shen Yue walked in from outside the door with something. When he looked up, he saw his wife looking at him with her eyes open. Shen Yue just wanted to speak, but saw Chen Ruya shush and shook his head at him. Sweeping to Yan Xiao, who was still sleeping next to him, Shen Yue understood, nodded, and sat quietly on the chair on the other side.
Xu heard the movement, and the sleeping Yanxiao sat up from the edge of the bed suddenly, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and looked around again, only to see that his mother had woken up on the hospital bed. Excitedly rushed to his mother, his voice was full of worry and a hint of joy, "Mom, are you awake?" How do you feel? Does it hurt? Do you want to drink water? ”
Listening to Yan Xiao's series of uninterrupted questions, Chen Ruya wanted to laugh a little, and just raised the corner of her mouth, but somehow pulled the knife again, and frowned painfully with a "hiss".
Yan Xiao's heart was uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said, "Don't talk Mom, take a rest first." ”
Shen Yue on the side saw his wife's urgency, patted her hand lightly to show comfort, and then turned his head to Yan Xiao and said, "I have already asked the doctor, after the anesthetic strength passes, your mother can drink a little water and eat some liquid food, I have just bought it from the restaurant downstairs, don't be too anxious, your mother will be more anxious if you laugh at you." ”
Seeing that Shen Yue nodded affirmatively to her, Yan Xiao sat back on the chair at a loss.
One afternoon, he slipped away in the company of words and smiles. The doctor came to check on the ward, asked about the situation, took care of the rest, paid attention to the diet, and then left. Shen Yue had already gone out of the ward, giving the mother and daughter who had been reunited for a long time to be alone.
The sunset outside the window was golden and brilliant, and the afterglow spilled in, reflecting the shadows of the two people on the wall at the end of the bed.
After a while, Yan Xiao broke the silence and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”
"Tell you, and then make you worry about me like you do now?" Chen Ruya looked disapproving.
Yanxiao's eyes instantly turned red again, she was a little angry, and a little distressed, and whispered, "It's not a cold and fever, if I hadn't come back this time...... Me, do you want me to regret it for the rest of my life? ”
Shaking her daughter's hand, Chen Ruya hurriedly said, "Okay, it's okay, smile, don't cry, don't cry." ”
Wiping his face indiscriminately, Yan Xiao asked hesitantly, "When did you find out?" ”
Chen Ruya smiled weakly and replied, "What year?" When you were in your freshman year, you guess it's a semester. ”
Semester 1? Yanxiao remembered that at that time, she was still angry with her parents, refused to communicate with them, and rarely went home, and when she had to go back, she didn't talk to her mother much. That's the time, right?
"Does my dad know about your illness?"
As soon as she finished asking, Yan Xiao watched her mother close her eyes, as if she was stuck in a memory.
"Your dad? At that time, because our divorce hurt you, I regretted it for a while, and I felt that I was too selfish, and began to consider whether to talk to your father about remarriage. After a pause and a breath, Chen Ruya continued,
Later, I found that I was feeling unwell, so I went to the hospital for an examination and was diagnosed with this disease. I was scared, and when I got the report in the hospital, I felt like the sky was going to fall, and I thought that if I died, what would my daughter do? So I called your dad, and as usual, before I could speak, your dad said he was in a meeting, and he would talk about it later. The mood at that time, I suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I thought, forget it, this man who has been busy with work and career for half his life, what do you expect him to do? ”
Raising his hand and pointing outside the door, Chen Ruya continued, "At that time, because of my divorce, Shen Yue had been pursuing me for a while, and when I fainted in the unit, he sent me to the hospital, and then when he knew my illness, he took the initiative to stay and take care of me, accompany me for surgery, chemotherapy, rehabilitation, enlighten me, accompany me, and care for me." Your father later found out about my illness and came to see me, but every time the work phone rang, he hurried away again. After I was discharged from the hospital, in order to take care of me more conveniently, Shen Yue proposed to me directly, and the balance in my heart was tilted at that time, and I felt that the love I had always wanted was nothing more than that, so I agreed. I didn't dare to tell you anything at that time, laughing, I was afraid that I would collapse on you, and it would be better for you to blame me than for you to feel sorry for me. ”
The sun has completely set, only some remnants are still nostalgic and refuse to leave, there is no light in the ward, in the dark and dim, Yan Xiao sniffed, and asked with a crying voice, "Mom, are you divorced from your father because you have been unhappy?" ”
In the dark, the person on the hospital bed sighed lightly, "Your father and I are two different people, I am romantic in love, and your father prefers to be pragmatic." You know how busy he is, from when you were little, every time you got sick, it was me who was alone at home to take care of you or take you to the hospital alone. He loves you and he loves me, I know, but his love is always absent. Later, when you grew up, the communication and communication between me and your father became more and more difficult, in your junior year of high school, my work was not very smooth, and your college entrance examination was also very stressful, I couldn't solve myself, and I once wondered if I was depressed. Later, I felt that this was not the way to go, so the two of us talked openly and honestly, decided to divorce, and hid the news from you until after your college entrance examination. ”
Yanxiao nodded. Finally, someone told her about the incomprehension that had been buried in her heart all these years, faintly, her heart was a little sad, and a little inexplicably relaxed.
"Smack!" The lights in the hospital room suddenly turned on. Shen Yue stood at the door and shook the lunch box in his hand, "You two don't turn on the lights when chatting?" He turned his head to Yan Xiao and said, "Yan Xiao, I don't know what you like to eat, I made a few of my specialty dishes, your mother likes to eat them very much, you can taste them in a while." Then he walked to the hospital bed and said to his wife, "But you can't eat it, I made you some porridge, are you hungry?" I'll feed you. ”
Seeing that her mother smiled and nodded obediently, her heart, which had been resentful for a long time, was suddenly a little relieved at this moment. Hesitantly, he said, "Thank you, Uncle Shen." Seeing the surprised expressions of the two people, Yan Xiao hurriedly turned his back and wiped the tears that couldn't help but flow.
I still remember the panic when I first got the news, my heart was full of nowhere to put it. The woman on the hospital bed, Yanxiao knows and is sure that she loves her, so what is more important than making her happy?
