Chapter 123: Those who have died once, their hearts have long been dead

Arriving at the ward, Su Li grabbed her father's hand and said in a trembling voice, "I was just wiping my dad's hands, and his hands moved, and more than once."

Fu Jinzhou stared at Su Danian's hands, looking at them carefully, but after staring for a long time, he didn't see Su Danian's hands move.

He turned to look at Su Li, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"No, I was wrong once, but I can't be wrong twice, right?"

Fu Jinzhou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. "I'll ask Xu Mingzhe to invite Professor Qi over to reconsider the plan. If it's really as you said, there should be hope for your father to wake up."

Su Li nodded excitedly, "Okay, thank you!"

When Su Li heard Fu Jinzhou say that she might wake up, tears immediately fell from her eyes.

Fu Jinzhou raised his hand to comfort her, but thinking that his status was not appropriate, he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Be careful not to be too ostentatious and don't let the news spread."

Su Li nodded happily while wiping her tears, "Yeah, you're right."

After Fu Jinzhou left, Su Li sat down next to Su Danian again, "Dad, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"

When Liu Guilan came back in the afternoon, she was stunned for a moment when she saw Professor Qi giving acupuncture to Su Danian.

"Li, didn't Professor Qi say that acupuncture was pointless and he wouldn't give her any more?"

"Mom, my dad's hand moved after you left. Dr. Xu and Professor Qi both think he might wake up."

When Liu Guilan heard the news, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Fu Jinzhou stood behind Su Li and quickly reached out to support her. "Auntie, calm down. I'm just saying it's possible. Whether or not he will wake up, or when he will wake up, is still uncertain. But hope is our motivation to persevere."

"Yes, yes, Doctor Fu is right." Liu Guilan nodded excitedly and quickly looked at her daughter, "Li, we can't be discharged from the hospital. If we don't get timely treatment at home, it will delay your father's recovery."

When he heard Liu Guilan say that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital, he knew that it was his mother who came to see Su Li today and made her want to be discharged from the hospital.

"Auntie, you definitely can't be discharged from the hospital in your current condition. Professor Qi will come over every day for acupuncture."

Su Li certainly wouldn't joke about her father's health, so she said decisively, "He's not going to be discharged from the hospital."

The fact that Su Danian was able to respond was indeed a good sign, but as to whether he could wake up or when he would wake up, it was hard to say.

Even so, Su Li was full of confidence. Her debt to her father made her even more eager for her father to wake up soon.

Until the evening, Su Li stayed by her father's bedside without moving, holding her father's hand tightly, hoping that he would respond again.

Liu Guilan saw Fu Jinzhou lingering at the door, hesitating whether to ask him in.

Thinking that it would be bad for people to see him being at the door all the time, he finally opened the door.

"Doctor Fu, is there anything else you would like to tell me?"

"Oh, Auntie, I... I just want to tell you not to be so stressed. In my uncle's case, it doesn't mean he will wake up immediately after a slight reaction. Some people still can't wake up."

After Fu Jinzhou finished speaking, he began to regret it. People finally saw hope in the middle of the night, and wasn't he pouring cold water on them?

"Fu Jinzhou, if you have nothing to do, go home. If you can't speak, then don't speak."

Sure enough, Su Li couldn't stand it anymore. Although he was telling the truth, she didn't want to hear the truth at all.

"I……"

He just wanted to talk to Su Li. His mother's sudden visit brought psychological pressure to Su Li, otherwise she would not have let Su Danian be discharged from the hospital.

Liu Guilan saw that Fu Jinzhou's real intention was not to drink, so she took the basin of water and went out, "Li, I'll go get a basin of hot water and wipe your father's feet later."

She liked Fu Jinzhou very much. Although he didn't talk much, he was very decisive in doing things.

But I’m afraid my daughter doesn’t have that idea!

After Liu Guilan left, Fu Jinzhou stepped forward and said, "Su Li, my mother was abrupt today. I didn't solve the problems at home properly, and I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

"Fu Jinzhou, Miss Lin is a good girl and she is devoted to you. Live a good life and get engaged as soon as possible."

Fu Jinzhou pursed his lips tightly, not knowing where to start. The ward was silent for a moment.

Su Li held Su Danian's hand unconsciously with more force. Fu Jinzhou really made her feel embarrassed.

"Fu Jinzhou, I've already said what I need to say. I'm not worthy of you. I don't deserve you to treat me like this. Besides, I've already died once, so my heart is already dead."

"Su Li, you have your choice, and I have my way of living. I won't force you, and you can't force me."

Fu Jinzhou's stubbornness left Su Li speechless. She said cruelly, "That's your business. Please take care of your family. I have a lot of things to do. I don't have the time or energy to deal with so many people."

Fu Jinzhou's face froze. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. He didn't want to embarrass her, and he didn't want to make her worry.

As she herself said, she still had a lot of things to do and didn't have enough energy to deal with her family.

In the end, he didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he quietly left the ward.

Su Li looked at his back as he left and felt that she should be more ruthless. Now that his family had come to her house, she must have caused them trouble.

Liu Guilan saw Fu Jinzhou leaving and came in with a basin of water.

Seeing that Su Li still maintained the same posture, she shook her head helplessly, "Xiao Li, don't think your mother is talking too much. Doctor Fu is a good person. It can be seen that he cares about you."

"Mom, his father is the Party Secretary of Pingjiang City and will soon be taking up a provincial post. Even a family like Shao Tingan's looks down on ours, and theirs is definitely not a family we can marry into. Besides, I don't want to get married again. After ten years of love, Shao Tingan can still change his mind. Marriage is meaningless."

When Liu Guilan heard this, she began to wonder. If a family as powerful as the Shao family looked down on them, then what about Fu Jinzhou's family...

They originally thought that he was a nice person who treated their daughter well and that they could persuade her to let go of her worries and try to start over. But now it seems that he is really not someone they can reach.

…

A week passed, and Su Li did not notice any response from her father, and her originally excited emotions gradually calmed down.

On the weekend, Li Mo came to Su Li with the written manuscript. She wrote a first draft based on the information provided by Su Li. There were still five days until February 2nd, so the final draft needed to be finalized as soon as possible.

"Pear, take a look. I'll revise it if there are any problems."

Su Li took Li Mo's manuscript and read it carefully. Although these were all things she had experienced personally, she still felt humiliated and angry when she reread them.

Li Mo saw her clutching the paper tightly in her hand and knew she was filled with hatred. She put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Su Li, everything will pass. You still have us."

Xu Mingzhe came to deliver medicine to Su Danian. Seeing the expressions of the two, he knew that something was wrong, so he took the manuscript from Su Li's hand.

"How did a hypocritical man and an innocent student end up having an affair?"

Seeing this title, Xu Mingzhe couldn't help but continue reading.
