Zhou Beijing took a step forward, hugged her tightly in his arms, and softly comforted, "It's my fault."

His magnetic voice rang in her ears, and the four short words made her tears even more vigorous.

For a long time, Zhou Beijing's shirt was wet.

She sniffed, regrouped her emotions and came out of his arms, wiped away her tears, and said with an uncontrollable cry, "Sorry, gaffe."

Regardless of Zhou Beijing's reaction, she quickly left the place and returned to the rescue room.

Behind her, Zhou Beijing's sword eyebrows were frowned, and a pair of bottomless eyes were full of distress, driving his long legs to follow.

Outside the rescue room, Wu Senhuai came, and was sitting next to Zhang Yue whispering comfort, but Zhang Yue never looked at him.

Lu Qianning stood straight outside the door, staring at the light above his head without blinking, and at the end of the corridor was Zhou Beijing, who had been pinching his cigarette, smoking one after another.

For four hours, the lights in the rescue room went out.

Dr. Liu came out with a few prestigious doctors from the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular departments, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body.

Lu Qianning smelled it all of a sudden, "Doctor Liu, how is my mother?"

"Xiaolu, don't get excited, listen to us tell you slowly." Dr. Liu first calmed her emotions and said, "Your mother vomited blood in the most popular way to say that she was angry, but what caused her to fall into a coma was the rupture and bleeding of a cerebral blood vessel...... She hasn't woken up yet, and we can't say for sure when she'll wake up."

Vegetable?

Thinking of these three words, Lu Qianning's breath stagnated.

Zhang Yue cried all of a sudden, hugging Lu Qianning's arm tightly, tears crackling down. Z.br>

"Don't cry just yet, it's not necessarily a bad thing for her." Dr. Lau hurriedly explained, "There is a static drug that can control the development of cancer cells, but people cannot inject that drug when they are awake and metabolized. However, with Ms. Zhang's current condition, she can be injected to temporarily control her cancer, and there is a targeted drug that specializes in the treatment of cancer will be born soon, maybe when your mother wakes up again, the targeted drug has been tested and can be used, and the cancer can be cured, isn't that happy?"

Dr. Liu's explanation is easy to understand, and according to the trend he said, Zhang Xinlan's coma is completely a good opportunity to wait for the drug to treat cancer.

But...... There is no room for error in every step of this.

For example, Zhang Xinlan could not wake up before the targeted drug research experiment.

For example...... It is possible that Zhang Xinlan left before that.

For example, targeted drugs have been developed, but Zhang Xinlan has never woken up.

Lu Qianning tugged at the corners of her lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Doctor Liu, thank you, doctors."

I can't say whether I should be happy at this time, but I have to admit that Dr. Liu's words gave her and Zhang Yue a lot of hope.

That is, maybe Zhang Xinlan can wake up in the future and recover.

Seventy-two hours after the operation, Zhang Xinlan was observed in the intensive care unit before she could be transferred to the general ward.

During the time spent in the intensive care unit, someone must be outside to respond to emergencies at all times, even at night.

Zhou Beijing asked Zhang Wenbo to send some food, but Lu Qianning and Zhang Yue didn't mean to eat.

He said, "If you don't eat, Zhang Yue won't eat either, and you two will take turns to keep watch, and before your mother's illness recovers, you will fall first."

Lu Qianning's eyes moved, and he saw Zhang Yue sitting on the chair on the side, holding her legs without moving, and breathing heavily.

took a piece of porridge and walked to Zhang Yue, "Moon, eat something, you and Wu Senhuai will go back first, I will stay to take care of my mother, and you will change me tomorrow, be obedient."

Zhang Yue was stunned for a while before taking the porridge and crying while drinking the porridge.

"You eat too." Zhou Beijing put an open porridge in Lu Qianning's hand.

It is a meal of four people, and it is possible

Lu Qianning and Zhang Yue only drank half a bowl of porridge.

But Zhou Beijing and Wu Senhuai didn't eat, urging them to finish eating.

The doctor in the intensive care unit reported again, and Zhang Xinlan's condition was relatively stable in the past few hours.

"Leave two people waiting outside, and the rest will come back tomorrow to work shifts, no big problem, don't worry."

It was getting late, and the neon lights were on, shining through the window at the end of the hallway.

At Lu Qianning's insistence, Zhang Yue followed Wu Senhuai away, but Zhou Beijing stayed without saying a word.

There were also two slightly older family members in the hallway, with small cushions, lying in the corner.

Lu Qianning sat on the chair and never looked at Zhou Beijing from beginning to end, even though he was sitting next to her.

The faint scent of rosin on his body filled her nose, making it impossible for her to ignore his presence.

The endless silence scowled in her, and she couldn't help but break it.

"You should know that she's not my own mother." She spoke suddenly, in a calm tone and in a very small voice.

"Hmm." Zhou Beijing responded.

"She married my dad when I was a teenager, and my dad and my mom divorced and fought for the custody of Lu Kangkang, and no one wanted me, but my dad was poor, and he could only keep me if he lost the lawsuit, and he hated me very much, and for a long time scolded me for being a drag oil bottle, and scolded me for being useless."

When it comes to the previous misery, she is very calm, and there is not a trace of ripple in her clear eyes.

"Her appearance is like a light that illuminates my life, she will protect me, since she came, my dad has never beaten me alone, she is all protecting me, sometimes I can dodge, and if I can't dodge, she will be beaten with me. I did well in my studies, she would be very proud, she would buy me and Zhang Yue new clothes together, and then when I went to high school, she thought that I would definitely be able to get into a good university, and I worked many jobs in advance to earn my tuition."

As she spoke, her hand suddenly warmed, and it was Zhou Beijing's warm palm that grabbed her cold little hand as if it was about to freeze, and the warmth gradually came from her hand.

She paused, then continued.

"Living up to expectations, I was finally admitted to a good university, and I'm about to graduate, I think I can finally honor her, but she has cancer, she's so kind, God is so unfair!"

Zhang Xinlan is her salvation, and she is also the person she desperately wants to save.

Zhou Beijing gently held her fingers, and after listening to her quietly, he breathed heavily, "You are very lucky, at least you met a kind-hearted stepmother, and I am not as lucky as you in this regard."

His tone was light, as if he were talking about an unusual little thing.

And he also successfully diverted Lu Qianning's attention, Lu Qianning raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his dark eyes looked at him in surprise.

She knows very little about Zhou Beijing's parents, and she listens to what he means...... He's also a stepmother?

The confusion was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door to the intensive care unit, and she immediately stood up nervously.

The nurse called out another person's name, which had nothing to do with Zhang Xinlan.

A small episode that interrupted the conversation between the two people.

also pulled back Lu Qianning's senses, she retracted her hand, and her face returned to coldness, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this, it's not too early, you can go back."

She got up and walked outside the ward and looked at Zhang Xinlan through the window.

Footsteps gradually came from behind her, and she thought it was Zhou Beijing leaving, and her heart tightened.

But when she was tired of standing and turned back, she found that in the corner at the end of the corridor, the fireworks were being smoked one by one, and Rao had only one silhouette, and she could recognize the person...... It's Zhou Beijing.

The first rays of sunlight shone into the corridor in the morning, and Zhang Yue and Wu Senhuai came, bringing a few breakfasts.

Lu Qianning only ate a little, and left the hospital at Zhang Yue's forced request.

Zhou Beijing drove her back to Xiushui Scenic Spot, and she was physically and mentally exhausted and did not refuse.

She didn't feel sleepy all night, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

Until Zhou Bei competed for the fragrance that helps sleep, she

I completely relaxed and fell asleep.

——

The people of the Hua family were panicked, and in the morning, Hua Yufeng was full of anger and scolded several high-level officials.

Back in the office, he threw the documents on the table, pulled his tie and asked Lin Qingyue, "How is it at the hospital?"

"Zhang Xinlan is in a coma, a seventy-two hour observation period, and whether she can wake up after that depends on the will of God." Lin Qingyue said.

Sitting down from the chair, Hua Yufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Where is Zhang Yue? Bring her here."

Lin Qingyue's heart sank, and he hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy, Zhang Yue is very disgusted with you, as soon as I heard that you were looking for her—"

Before the words landed, Hua Yufeng waved the documents on the table to the ground and looked at him coldly, "You don't have any other way!?"

"Recently, because of Zhang Xinlan's matter, Wu Senhuai has been in and out with her every day, and it is difficult to find any suitable time-"

Lin Qingyue lowered his head slightly and said.

The words "not easy" and "the right time" made Hua Yufeng laugh angrily, "Don't understand the meaning of my words? In the shortest possible time, I want to see Zhang Yue's people, or you will get out!"

He sat back down, furious.

After a while, Lin Qingyue bowed, "Yes."

He turned to leave, returned to his office and sat down to ponder, repeatedly looking at the chat records on WeChat between him and Lu Qianning that could not be shorter.

The brows deepened until she remembered the marriage certificate she saw in her bag on the eve of graduation-

He didn't hesitate to dig out the phone book and dial a number, "Keep an eye on Zhang Yue, and once there is a suitable opportunity, ...... Notify me immediately."

——

After the seventy-two hours of danger passed, Zhang Xinlan was sent to the general ward, where her hair, which was already not much because of chemotherapy, was shaved and her body was full of various tubes.

Dr. Liu explained again, "I have already started to give her static medicine after the dangerous period, and it will be effective soon, but the base for the research of targeted drugs is in Wencheng, if you can do so, it is best to transfer her to Wencheng, because the hospital that began to treat Wencheng after the trial of the drug must be the first to start."

"Thank you, doctor, let me think about going to Wencheng."

Lu Qianning didn't agree directly, she lowered her head and didn't look at the long figure on her side.

In the ward, Zhang Xinlan was lying quietly, her charitable eyebrows were flat, and her bloodless lips were wearing an oxygen mask.

Except for the cold sound of the machine, the silence made Lu Qianning breathless.

In the past, when she came to the hospital to talk to Zhang Xinlan, she could be happy and satisfied for a long time, but now-

Although Zhang Xinlan is still there, her heart is empty, she can no longer find anyone to talk to, and she can't hear Zhang Xinlan say "my daughter" one by one.

There was no one in the bag who would put warm eggs, and no one reminded her to eat more......

The scenes of the past came to her heart, and her brows were furrowed like a dead knot.

"Sister, I'm going to go to Brother Huai's place to pack up my things in a while, I resigned from him and rented another house, you stay and take care of Mom first, and I'll be back before dark."

Zhang Yue's face was a little haggard, and her eyes were complicated.

Lu Qianning was stunned, "Why did you resign? Why don't you tell me about such a big thing, and what wages you owe him?"

"The salary was given to me by my mother, I thought he was in charge of what you wanted, but now it seems ......" Zhang Yue pulled the corners of her lips, and almost cried again, "She embezzled her own medical expenses for me."

On the corridor outside the ward, Zhou Beijing stood at the end of the cigarette, and Wu Senhuai sat on the bench, the latter's face did not look good, perhaps because of Zhang Yue's resignation.
