Shanghai Hospital
"Mom, do you feel better? What do you want to eat?" I asked.
I looked at my mother who had calmed down these few days and felt a little relieved. However, her mother was still very thin. Although she would smile occasionally, she would often look out the window in a daze. It showed that her mother was still in pain. She just didn't want us to worry. Her mother could now recognize the truth and accept her fate. However, she could not get over this pain for the time being.
"I'm not very hungry. I won't eat for the time being.”her mother said softly.
"Mother Wang! Chicken soup!" Yushan rushed in excitedly with a thermos.
"Yushan is here? Sit!" To my surprise, I thought that my mother would be agitated again when she saw Yushan. I didn't expect her to be calm and let Yushan sit down with a hint of love. It seemed that her mother was really going to recover soon.
" Mama Wang," Yushan came over with a thermos." Do you want some chicken soup? It's very nourishing!" " That's me…" She knew that Yushan wanted to say " my mom ", but she suddenly realized that she shouldn't have mentioned it. She stopped awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Okay, I was just about to drink some soup." Her mother smiled kindly. It was obvious that she knew that Auntie Suixin had made the soup, but she didn't reject it. She said something to ease Yushan's awkwardness.
"Yay! Looks like I came at the right time!" Yushan's recovery ability was really strong. She was as still as a wax statue in Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum just a moment ago, but when she heard her mother's words, she suddenly started laughing and talking as if nothing had happened.
"Mother Wang, let me feed you!"
"Come on, you're so clumsy. Let me do it!" Lu Ping took the thermos from Yushan's hands and sat by the bed, feeding her mother soup spoonful by spoonful.
"Yushan, I heard that you haven't been working at the dance studio for the past few days? Someone is looking for you everywhere!" Lvping asked Yushan without turning back as she fed her mother soup.
"Who is it? Who's looking for me?" Yu Shan was confused.
"Chu…"
"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear it!”Before Lu Ping could finish her sentence, Yushan interrupted anxiously. It was obvious that Yushan's face was filled with tension.
"It's fine if you don't want to hear it, but if you don't go to work now, I won't give you your salary!”A voice came from the door.
"Brother Jianbo!" Yu Shan turned around and said in surprise," Brother Jianbo, why are you here?”Yu Shan walked over.
"I'm here to see Auntie." Jian Bo answered Yu Shan, but his eyes were fixed on Lvping. Jian Bo turned around and looked at his mother." Auntie, are you feeling better?”
"I'm much better. Thank you for your trouble.”
"Why do you say that? It's what I should do." Jianbo sat by the bed and smiled gently." You look much better."”
"Green duckweed, quickly bring some fruits for Jianbo to eat. I can't eat all of them.”Her mother called out to Lvping.
"Oh." Lu Ping passed an apple to Jian Bo with a complicated expression. She met Jian Bo's burning and questioning eyes, as if asking him why he had been so cold to her recently.
Lu Ping hurriedly avoided Jian Bo's gaze and walked away, sitting on the sofa opposite me. I saw a look of nervousness and pain on Lvping's face.
The ward once again fell into silence…
New York Construction Company
" Boss, Chu Lian's injury this time is especially serious. Not only is his right leg broken, but his right arm is also fractured. His right rib is also broken, and…" Yahua dragged her exhausted body back to the company and said to her boss," Also, the doctor said that Chu Lian's brain was also injured. He has a slight concussion and has yet to wake up. He's in danger of becoming a vegetable." I think Chu Lian has done a lot for the company in the past few months. This time, he also got into an accident at work. Can you give Chu Lian a long vacation to recuperate?”Yahua's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Ever since the doctor at the hospital told her that Chu Lian had not woken up and that he might become a vegetable, she almost collapsed. However, Yahua was strong. She held on and came to the company to do everything for Chu Lian.
"Good!" "Chu Lian is indeed very outstanding when he came to the company. He has created a lot of profits for our company. There were a few times when I wanted to let him take a vacation, but he insisted on working. He was a good employee. Let Chu Lian recuperate well and come back to work when he was completely recovered. This period of time would be considered his long vacation. The company would settle his medical expenses for him.”
"Thank you, boss! "Also…" Yahua said with a little lack of confidence.
"Is there anything else?" The boss asked.
"Chu Lian doesn't have any relatives in the United States. He doesn't even have anyone to take care of him in the hospital. Moreover, the doctor said that if someone were to accompany him while he's in a coma, there's a higher chance that he'll wake up. I was wondering if I could take a leave of absence as well?”
" This..." The boss thought about it." You still have some proposals in your hands. Now that Chu Lian is sick, there's nothing you can do. If you ask for leave again, it seems to be a little difficult.”
"Boss, I can bring the proposal to the hospital. At least I can have some time to take care of him and accompany him. I'll try my best to do more work so that I won't delay those proposals. Besides, I don't get paid. Is this okay?" Yahua pleaded.
"Alright then." The benevolent boss agreed to Yahua's request," Take good care of Chu Lian.”
New York City Hospital
From then on, Yahua tidied up her daily necessities and stayed in the hospital. Every day, she would stay by Chu Lian's side and guard him day and night. Chu Lian was always in a coma and was given nutrient fluids. Yahua would accompany him by his bed day and night. During the day, she would talk to him, massage his uninjured limbs, wipe his hands, and tell him stories of the past. At night, she would be quiet and let Chu Lian rest well. Then, she would work hard on the proposal that she and Chu Lian had left behind. Occasionally, she would be too tired. She fell asleep by Chu Lian's bedside…
"Chu Lian, do you still remember when we were in Paris? You were always the best speaker in our class. You were so sunny, so cheerful, and so talkative. When you first went to France, your French was terrible, but after your 'diligent practice,' you actually became the best French student among the international students!……
"Do you still remember that time at our party? You imitated many celebrities and not only did you imitate the humorous expression of a very unique male actor, but you also imitated a female dancer's dance! Everyone laughed out loud. At that time, there were many girls in the class who had a crush on you.……
"Chu Lian, do you remember that time when we, the Chinese students, went for a picnic? The food you cooked was top-notch. I don't know if it was because we were hungry at that time or because your cooking skills were really good, but we thought that the food you cooked was especially delicious. At that time, we said that whoever became your wife in the future would be very happy to be able to eat such delicious food…
"Do you remember the time we took our graduation photos? As everyone was about to leave, no matter how much the cameraman tried to make them laugh, they still couldn't laugh. You danced around and did funny things, making the whole class laugh. The photographer took a photo of you, and in the end, there was a precious scene of you making a funny face in the graduation photo…
"Chu Lian, the leader is here to see you. Say thank you!
"Chu Lian, I've played your favorite song. I hope this music can evoke your memories…"
" Tomorrow, will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday…At that time, the sky was always blue, and the days passed too slowly. You always said that graduation was far away, and in the blink of an eye, we went our separate ways…"
One day, one day, quietly passed by. Yahua's eyes were red, her voice was hoarse, and her face was thin. Chu Lian's body had also been stripped of the tubes and wires. He removed some of the bandages on his external injuries, revealing his scarred face. The doctor said that Chu Lian's life was no longer in danger, but whether he could wake up would depend on God's will…
"Chu Lian, are you too tired? Do you need more rest? Then rest assured. I will patiently accompany you and wait for you to wake up…"
Shanghai Hospital
"Mom, are you sure you're feeling better? Do you need to stay for a few more days?" Lu Ping and I asked as we packed up.
"What's there to stay in? I've been in this hospital for almost half a month. I've had enough. I'll just go home. Lu Ping, go help me with the discharge procedures.”
"No need, Yunfan has already gone.”
"Mrs. Fei, it's done." Yun Fan came in from the door of the ward and took the things in my hand thoughtfully. He kissed my cheek.
"Hey! What are you doing! There are so many people here!" I blushed.
"Let's go. I've already asked my secretary to drive a two-seater car over. I'll be the driver.”Yun Fan said as if nothing had happened, but his ambiguous gaze could not escape my eyes. I also looked back, meaning to see how I would deal with you when I get back.
I didn't have anything else to take, so I turned around and held my mother's arm. "Let's go."
I walked out of the ward and walked to the corner of the corridor. I saw a familiar back. Father!
We stopped in our tracks. Dad heard the commotion behind him and turned around. Obviously, he was worried about this place, but he didn't know what to say when he came in. He paced back and forth outside. He obviously didn't expect us to come out. Mom didn't say anything, so we didn't say anything. Both of us froze there, and the air froze for a few seconds.
I looked at my mother, afraid that she would be agitated again, but she still looked very calm. It was just that it was difficult to soothe the sadness on her face. Mom was the first to say,"Thank you for coming to see me."”
"Are you feeling better? Is your body completely recovered? " That…" Dad said awkwardly. Obviously, he still cared about Mom.
"It's alright." Her mother answered simply, her expression not changing much.
"Eat more nutritious food to nourish your body.”Dad said with concern, but his eyes still couldn't help but dodge.
"Alright," she said.
After so many years of being husband and wife, this awkward conversation seemed so distant. There were not many words or expressions. I knew that in my mother's heart, she still loved my father, but she knew that my father no longer belonged to her. Even if she was sad, she was still very strong.
" If there's nothing else, I'll go first," Mom said as she pulled me around Dad.
"Shunjuan, I'll…I'll go to your house to take a look.”She didn't know how she said the words 'daddy'. She didn't even know how to say' go home', but it seemed so hurtful when she said 'go to your home'.
"No, thank you." Her mother stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn back. She calmly said these five words and walked home.
