Chapter 186: Thank You
Before Lin Hao could finish his sentence, Chu Xiang walked out of the hospital room and brought the door shut with her hand, looking straight at Lin Hao with her arms wrapped around her chest, ”You’re very busy, Barrister Lin. Can I ask on behalf of Zi Shan, what are you busy with? Jiang Tao you go get the nurse to change the fluids, this is a big deal.”
Jiang Tao glanced at Chu Xiang or first went to find a nurse, in the end is Zi Shan’s body is the most important, as for Lin Hao’s side, he also knows Chu Xiang’s good intentions – he and Lin Hao are brothers for many years, some of the words and things questioned out of the two how to work together in the future? However, Chu Xiang did not know that he and Lin Hao were no longer brothers.
Not only does he have thoughts about Lin Hao, the main thing is that Lin Hao is also extremely dissatisfied with him, they will be just an ordinary friend, nodding acquaintance.
Baby leaned over Jiang Tao’s shoulder and looked at Lin Hao: ”Why doesn’t Uncle Lin act like he used to, he doesn’t even ask if baby is okay? Does Uncle Lin not like baby anymore?” Children are always sensitive and are always so quick to perceive changes in adults.
Jiang Tao patted her back, “Uncle Lin isn’t worried about mommy, he and Auntie Chu have something to discuss, he just doesn’t have time.” He comforted the child for a couple of sentences and went to the nurse’s station, after reporting Zi Shan’s bed number and name, he followed the nurse back to the front of the ward.
Lin Hao’s face didn’t look too good, he moved a few steps to the side after seeing the nurse and lowered his head without looking at Jiang Tao, while Chu Xiang was the one with a face of exasperation but it was obvious that she was desperately trying to suppress it.
Jiang Tao glanced at them, “Chu Xiang, please take the baby to see Zi Shan, once the medicine is changed maybe Zi Shan will wake up, just in time for them to have a few words between mother and daughter.” He gave Chu Xiang a reassuring look so she didn’t have to worry before he said to Lin Hao, “Go towards the window and say a few words – you should have some time, right?”
Lin Hao gave him a look without making a sound walking to the end of the long corridor and looking out at the lonely dry branches of the trees, “My father has fallen ill. As you know he has a heart condition and his blood pressure has always been high and his liver is not good, it was only today that he was notified by the doctor that he had been transferred to the general ward. I know you guys blame me for leaving when Zi Shan was living or dying, but just that night when my father was in emergency care, he also received a critical notice!”
His hands pressed on the window sill, his voice lowered, “One is your beloved, the other is your own old father, if it were you, what could you do, what would you choose? Love and filial piety collide, I, I am also extremely helpless, worried about Zi Shan, all the time worry about her, but my father is so old, even if it is transferred to the ward will not change who knows.”
Jiang Tao looked at his back, it was obvious that his stress was really not small, that back even seemed to be a bit hunched, although he said that he had also guessed Lin Hao’s situation, he hadn’t expected things to be so bad. Also, just like Lin Hao asked him, between father and lover which one do you choose? The one who suffered for choosing either one was Lin Hao.
He was silent for a while reaching out his hand to pat Lin Hao’s shoulder, ”Why didn’t you tell us from the beginning? We’re all reasonable people, we won’t blame you if we know what you’re struggling with.” There was no choice, he hadn’t faced that kind of thing, and he would rather not face that kind of thing.
Lin Hao turned back, “What’s the point of saying it, I know I’m sorry for Zi Shan, originally I didn’t do enough, if I say it, is it considered a pretext excuse? Besides, even if you guys don’t blame me anymore, I can’t get over myself, how can I say that Zi Shan doesn’t have any relatives here.”
“Some words you don’t have to say I understand, just, just ……” he turned back to look out the window once again, “Wrong is wrong, saying anything is wrong. I’m sorry Zixan, just like now when my father woke up and had to see me, I then had to leave to take care of my old father – it’s not fair to Zixan, I know that very well, but I also had to leave.”
He let out a long breath, “It doesn’t matter what other people misunderstand, but we’ve been friends for many years and are as close as brothers ah, I really don’t want to see you blaming me in your eyes. Jiang Tao, it’s not that I don’t know what I should do, it’s just that those who are the sons of men always have to fulfill their filial piety first, Zi Shan, I can only entrust it to you first.”
After saying that, his hand fell on Jiang Tao’s shoulder and pressed it, then he took big steps and left in a hurry, when he passed Zi Shan’s hospital room, he also just glanced inside and left without stopping.
Jiang Tao watched his back for a while before returning to the ward, seeing Zi Shan still sleeping, the liquid and a bottle of it said to Chu Xiang: “Let’s go and see the caregiver, I’m afraid that if I’m alone, I’ll look away again. Zi Shan can’t be left alone here, although the few of us can take turns, but Fatty and I are not too convenient to take care of Zi Shan, an escort is a must, and it also makes everyone feel more at ease when they are not in the hospital.”
Chu Xiang nodded, “Lin Hao’s kid’s idea? Still has a bit of a conscience, I thought he didn’t have Zi Shan in his heart by now.”
Jiang Tao hesitated for a moment and looked at Zi Shan on the bed and said softly, “Yes, Lin Hao’s idea, because his father is seriously ill and has also just left intensive care, he can’t keep Zi Shan by her side all the time and is not at ease, so he asked the caregiver to be able to take better care of Zi Shan.” In the end, he still put a layer of gold for Lin Hao, because Lin Hao indeed have no choice but to suffer, and he did not want to let people misunderstand what.
Chu Xiang’s anger subsided a bit, “Alright, he still has some conscience. Go, go to see, just, he can’t stay and pick after the caregiver and then go? His father ……” Here she also closed her mouth, how could she say that Lin Hao couldn’t leave his father behind and only come to take care of Zi Shan.
If Lin Hao disregarded his father, such a person can’t be relied upon, his parents’ many years of nurturing can’t be kept in his heart, and you still expect to know him for a few years to get him to pull out his heart and soul for you? Of course, do not be Feng Dayong kind of stupid filial piety on the good, in the end two people live, the so-called home refers to the small home of two people.
There is another reason why Chu Xiang can no longer be angry with Lin Hao – if she has an argument with Lin Hao for the sake of Lin Hao going to take care of her father, what will Lin Hao’s family think of Zi Shan when they find out? Not to mention that Zi Shan is a divorced woman, even if she’s a big girl’s family I believe that Lin’s family is already disgusted with Zi Shan without having met her.
Although it is not the old society, do not need to marry a woman to set the rules of worship aunt, but the Lin family people hate Zishan then Zishan and Lin Hao’s life will not be happy, the influence of the family, never underestimate, this is Chu Xiang’s personal experience.
Chuxiang once had a sweet time with her ex-husband, who was also devoted to her despite her mother’s objections, but the result of her lack of blessing was a divorce, and the mother and son of the family were reunited. She thought that if Zi Shan and Lin Hao had a good future, even if she couldn’t get the blessing of the Lin family, at least she wouldn’t let the Lin family hate her.
Jiang Tao pursed lips did not say anything, picked up the baby silent lead Chu Xiang to find the head nurse, for a man is the most difficult is the clipboard gas, one side is the parents on the one hand is the love of his life, this choice is originally a kind of pain. Is he wrong to blame Lin Hao?
The head nurse is a very enthusiastic person, the introduction of the caregiver is very honest and has a wealth of experience in caring for patients, Jiang Tao and Chu Xiang are very satisfied, set two people to agree on a daytime and a night, since this evening will start.
The solution to take care of Zishan’s things, is finally put down a stone, Jiang Tao and Chu Xiang are relieved to see Zishan has woken up back in the ward, will calmly tell her Lin Hao something to leave, on the topic of Lin Hao’s family sick things said, just did not mention that the sick person is Lin Hao’s father.
Zi Shan also did not think too much: “There is a caller’s bell in, when you are not there I can also myself, and is not a child, really do not need to be accompanied by people in bed.” She in the end embarrassed to trouble Chu Xiang and Jiang Tao these friends, Lin Hao words of course different, but Lin Hao home has something she is not the kind of petite people, can understand and support Lin Hao to take care of their families, so instead of opening the mouth to pacify Chu Xiang and Jiang Tao, so that they can rest assured that go back to work.
The baby stood on tiptoe and kissed Zi Shan again and again: “There will be nurse aunts to come, mommy don’t be afraid. Mommy don’t be afraid of pain or cry when you get an injection, baby will be good and wait for mommy to come back at Auntie X’s house.”
Zishan looked at the child want to kiss, but helplessly she is now unable to do, can only slightly lift a nod to look at the baby smile: “Good boy.” She is sick the most pitiful is actually the daughter, all she can do is to get well and recover as soon as possible, so that in the future can better love the child.
Jiang Tao and the baby until the evening caregiver came before leaving, Zi Shan and the baby said a lot of words tired, a night to sleep extremely solid, and did not give the caregiver to add a little trouble, even if the infusion infusion is very tired, the arm can not say what the taste is, she did not mention a word to the people.
She just wanted to get well quickly, so she gritted her teeth and insisted on the twenty-four hour infusion every day, watching the medicine flow into her body, knowing that it would give her one more ray of hope for an early recovery.
The next afternoon, Zi Shan woke up after a nap and unexpectedly saw Feng Dayong sitting on the square stool next to the bed: “Why are you here? After a while Liu Yun chased after me it will be trouble again, there are some things between you and me that will never pass, for example, you won’t forgive me for those words I posted and I won’t forgive you for cheating on me.”
“The saying that you can be friends even after divorce is not possible with me. So you coming to see me won’t get me a thank you in return, and to be honest I don’t really like seeing you. Even if your arrival doesn’t come with a string of troubles, I don’t like seeing you.” Her words couldn’t have been said more directly.
She really didn’t want to be any friends with Feng Dayong, and it was impossible to be friends with him, even with the baby, her maximum limit of tolerance was to see him without badmouthing him, without saying bad things about him to the baby – it was really already the limit, and it could never allow her to have half a good feeling towards Feng Dayong again.
Feng Dayong did not get annoyed, and looked at Zi Shan a little embarrassed, “I know that big sister and little brother and the others came to see you, I, I just wanted to say thank you.”
