Chapter 154 A sudden surge of anger

What should have been an hour's journey, they covered in just 34 minutes to reach the town entrance.

When she arrived in town, Qin Guizhi checked her watch; it was almost time for her to go to work.

She didn't linger any longer and turned to walk quickly toward the town's middle school.

Before leaving, he gave me a special reminder.

"Call the school immediately if you have any news! Don't hide it from us!"

Shen Cuifen nodded and said softly.

"Sis, don't worry, go to work. I'll let you know as soon as there's any progress."

After saying that, Shen Cuifen and Qin Yongcai, without taking a break, headed straight for the station.

Fortunately, the tractor heading to the county town was just about to depart.

They jumped onto the bus at the last minute and found a seat in the back.

The tractor slowly drove away from the town entrance, bumping along the way towards the county seat.

Shen Cuifen held the unconscious Shen Fuhua, her heart constantly in suspense.

Throughout the journey, Shen Fuhua bit her lip tightly.

He didn't want his mother and uncle to worry.

But the excruciating pain spread from his abdomen in waves, making it almost impossible for him to stand.

"Fuhua, does it hurt?"

Shen Cuifen squatted down, looking at her son's pale face with heartache.

The child shook his head and forced a smile.

"Mom, I'm not in pain, really, don't worry."

Shen Cuifen's throat tightened as she forcefully suppressed her surging emotions.

She lowered her head and secretly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Okay, Mom, don't panic or rush."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her voice.

"If you're really upset, it's okay to cry. Mom won't laugh at you."

Shen Fuhua shook his head again.

"Mom, from now on I'm going to be the pillar of the family. A real man doesn't cry."

Shen Cuifen nodded with tears in her eyes.

She gently touched her son's cheek, her voice filled with pride.

"Yes, you are Mom's man! The bravest one! You will definitely be the most reliable pillar of our family in the future."

Qin Yongcai, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

After a long journey, we finally arrived at the hospital.

After examining the patient, the doctor's expression turned serious.

They said it was a severe hernia, and the intestines were already stuck, so surgery was necessary immediately.

Before he could ask any more questions, Shen Fuhua was wheeled into the operating room preparation room by the nurse.

Lying in his hospital bed, he finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

He's still just a kid.

No matter how strong he is normally, he will be afraid when faced with unfamiliar environments and cold equipment.

"Mom! I'm scared! I'm really scared!"

He suddenly sat up and reached out as if to grab something.

"Will the doctor cut open my stomach? Will they use a knife to cut me?"

"Mom, will something happen to me? I don't want to die... I don't want to leave you..."

"Waaah... Mom, I'm so scared, I'm really panicking... If I'm gone, who will protect you and my sister? I promised to take care of you... I can't go back on my word!"

Shen Cuifen's eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She immediately rushed forward and grabbed Shen Fuhua's hand.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You'll be fine!"

She leaned down and whispered in the child's ear.

"It's a minor surgery. The doctor does it every day and is very skilled at it. You just need to listen to the doctor, close your eyes and take a nap, and you'll be fine when you wake up."

"Your mother and uncle are waiting for you outside. They won't move an inch; they'll just stand guard at the door until you come out. Can you hear me? Your mother is here! She's always here!"

She only managed to pull her hand out after the operating room door slowly opened.

"Fuhua, Mom's here! Don't be afraid! Can you hear me? Mom's here! Mom will always be here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the operating room door slammed shut.

Shen Cuifen's legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground, bursting into tears.

"Cuifen, don't be like this, don't cry! The doctor said it's a minor surgery, you'll be fine after it's done, don't scare yourself!"

Qin Yongcai panicked and rushed over.

He said comforting words while squatting down and forcefully supporting his sister's arm.

It took a lot of effort to pull her up and help her sit in a chair.

He quickly squatted down and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Sit down and rest for a while. Don't push yourself. I'm here for you."

But Chen Cuifen couldn't stop; tears kept flowing.

She thought that everything in her life had changed.

Qin Yongcai will no longer suffer from hernias, and such incidents will never happen again in his family.

But as expected, what was bound to happen still happened.

The wheel of fate continues to roll along its original trajectory.

No matter how much she struggles or tries, some things are simply inescapable.

She was trembling all over.

It wasn't because of the cold, but because of a deep-seated fear.

She was afraid not only of the surgery itself, but also of the possible complications after the surgery.

What if the wound gets infected? What if it doesn't heal properly? What if it affects the rest of my life?

Thinking about these things made her heart ache unbearably.

"Brother! What should we do?! What if something happens to Fuhua?!"

Her gaze was fixed on Qin Yongcai, her eyes filled with despair.

Qin Yongcai gently patted her shoulder.

"The doctor said it's nothing, so it must be nothing. Don't scare yourself, okay!"

He knew how heavy the burden was on Shen Cuifen's heart.

Therefore, he must remain calm.

Even if I'm scared myself, I have to pretend to be calm and collected to reassure her.

"No! I have to go and find out! Brother, you stay here and watch over things, I'll go ask the doctor!"

Shen Cuifen suddenly stood up, a stubborn glint in her eyes.

Instead of sitting around and letting your imagination run wild, you should ask for your own answers.

"Go ahead, don't worry! I'll keep an eye on things here, nothing will go wrong! You..."

Before Qin Yongcai could finish speaking, the figure had already disappeared.

He stood there, frozen, his hand still hanging in mid-air, before finally slowly lowering it.

In the consultation room, Shen Cuifen stared anxiously at Dr. Liang, wishing she could hear him say "100% safe".

But the more anxious she was, the more deliberate and methodical Dr. Liang became.

He calmly and slowly put the pen cap back on.

I even aligned it carefully before gently placing it on the corner of the table.

Shen Cuifen thought he was about to get down to business.

Then he reached for the enamel mug, blew on it, and slowly took a sip.

"Oh my goodness! Doctor, you're going to drive me crazy with worry!"

Shen Cuifen couldn't help but shout.

"My son is still lying on the operating table! Can you tell me about the situation first?"

Dr. Liang swallowed a mouthful of water, and as he chewed carefully, he felt a few tea leaves between his teeth.

He immediately frowned and spat impatiently.

He gently set the cup down before raising his eyes and looking at Shen Cuifen.

"Look at you, always in such a rush! What's the hurry? Even if the sky falls, the earth will hold it up. It's not as scary as you make it out to be!"

"I've been working all day, my throat is burning, and my legs are aching from standing. Can't you just let me have a drink of water and rest a bit before we talk? Why do you have to rush me like this, like you're trying to kill me?"

Dr. Liang speaks slowly and deliberately.

But Chen Cuifen's heart was already in turmoil.

She twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, her eyes fixed on Dr. Liang.

"Oh doctor! Please hurry up and tell me after you've moistened your throat! I'm about to get sick from worry!"
