Thinking back on what has happened over the years, from the time of the marriage exchange, Jiang Wanqing has made no wrong moves at all, and has continued to rise high. This is something that a girl who grew up in a purely rural area could not have done. But now that Cheng Ran has said this, Jiang Jianguo and Xue He both understand.
The two elderly people held each other's hands and cried even harder.
“It’s all your mother’s fault! It’s all your brother’s fault! And us… If we hadn’t compromised from the beginning and moved out to live separately, how could we have gotten so deeply involved with Jiang Xiu’s family…” Xue He choked up.
"Mom and Dad, it's no use saying this now. We can only pray that Wanqing is alright."
"Yes...we'll wait outside the operating room...we must wait until Wanqing is safe and sound..."
Xue He staggered forward, being helped along. Time ticked by, each moment agonizing. The mottled paint on the walls bore the marks of every anxious family member waiting for their loved ones.
Five hours later, the operating room lights finally went out, and the doctor emerged exhausted, covered in the smell of blood. Cheng Ran and Jiang Jianguo immediately rushed over and surrounded the doctor.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"How did your spouse's surgery go...?"
"Doctor, the surgery must have been successful, right? It must have been, right?"
The doctor looked around at the three people surrounding him, sighed, and shook his head.
"terribly sorry……"
boom!
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Xue He had already lost her balance, and Jiang Jianguo quickly supported her.
The next second, the doctor quickly added, "The surgery wasn't exactly a success, nor was it a failure, it's just..."
"Just what? Stop panting and just tell me!"
Cheng Ran was almost frantic with worry, his eyes fixed on the doctor, every word he said from then on would be precisely heard by everyone.
"Sigh, the knife pierced her internal organs, and she lost too much blood during the surgery. Although she has been saved by a blood transfusion, it is only temporary. The baby in her womb cannot be removed yet, and she cannot withstand another surgery. So... the next three days are especially important. If she wakes up and gradually improves, then there will be no problem. If she does not wake up... the worst case scenario is that she will become a vegetable."
"What!"
"Wanqing! Mom is here to keep you company!"
Upon hearing this, Xue He felt like banging her head against the wall. In her mind, this was already an extremely dangerous situation, and she couldn't withstand even the slightest setback.
"mom!"
Cheng Ran pulled her aside, his expression tense and serious.
"Wanqing isn't dead yet! Didn't you hear what the doctor said? These three days are crucial. Don't cause any trouble. What we need to do is take good care of her and look forward to her waking up."
“Yes, Cheng Ran is right. We need to wait for Wan to wake up. Even if she dies, it won’t be now.” Jiang Jianguo pulled Xue He to sit down in a chair.
"Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, what are you talking about? Who's dying? Where's Mom?"
Before they knew it, Nannan was standing behind them, asking in a hoarse voice. Cheng Ran immediately turned around and hugged his daughter.
"You're awake. How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? Tell Daddy..."
The little girl shook her head: "I'm fine, Daddy, I want to find Mommy..."
"Your mother, she..."
Cheng Ran was thinking about how to keep it from his child, afraid that if Nannan knew the current situation, she would be shocked and faint again. But just then, the nurse pushed Jiang Wanqing, who was still in the operating room with tubes inserted, out of the operating room. Nannan saw her at a glance, pushed his hand away, and rushed over.
"Mom! What's wrong, Mom... Waaah... Mom, wake up."
Children have an innate dependence on their mothers. Having just been rescued from kidnappers, seeing their beloved mother lying half-dead on a hospital bed being wheeled out would be a huge shock and a visual trauma for the child.
"Nannan!" Cheng Ran picked up the child and said, "Your mother needs to rest. Don't cause any trouble. Listen to the doctor and nurses."
"Waaaaah... I want my mommy... I want my mommy..."
"Daddy will take you to see Mommy once Mommy's condition stabilizes. Not now, sweetie, be a good girl..."
The nurse shook her head, looking at the pitiful family, unable to bear to look any longer, and quickly pushed Jiang Wanqing to the intensive care unit.
"Mom got hurt saving me, it must be...it's all my fault!"
"No, if you think like that, then your mother's injury was for nothing. Listen to your father, he says your mother is very strong and will definitely wake up, so stop making a fuss, okay? Let's wait together."
As Nannan's struggles lessened, Cheng Ran finally put her down. Jiang Jianguo and Xue He, disregarding their own grief, rushed to comfort the child.
Xue He buttoned up Nannan's hospital gown and patted her head.
“My dear child, your mother will miss you and us. You must believe that she will wake up.”
"Grandma, sob sob sob..."
Nannan buried her face in Xue He's arms and started crying. Jiang Jianguo also wiped away his tears. If Cheng Ran started crying too, things would really get chaotic.
He instructed, "Mom and Dad, please take Nannan back to the ward first. It's too late. Let her get some sleep. I'll go check on Wanqing. Please, don't panic at this time."
"Okay, you go ahead. Leave Nannan to us. This time, we'll definitely stay by her side every step of the way."
Jiang Jianguo nodded. Although he was still shaken by the kidnapping of his daughter, the house was in chaos, and they could only do their best to handle what they could.
"Nannan, let's go..."
Seeing the child being taken away by her maternal grandparents, Cheng Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief and then rushed to Jiang Wanqing's ward.
The nurse just came out.
"May I go in? My lover is inside."
Cheng Ran was worried that there might be some taboos, so he asked cautiously. The nurse looked him up and down and frowned.
"You should take a shower and disinfect yourself before coming in, otherwise bringing bacteria in will not be good for the injured person's recovery."
He looked down and realized that he was still covered in Jiang Wanqing's blood and dust. He immediately expressed his understanding.
"Okay, I'll take care of it now, I'll come back later!"
He took a deep look into the ward, and just as he stepped out, he ran into Yang Chang, who was rushing over.
"Comrade Cheng!"
Cheng Ran didn't notice him until Yang Changxian greeted him, at which point he realized what was happening.
What brings you here?
"I...I heard that Comrade Wanqing had an accident, is that true? Where is she?"
"She just had surgery, so we can't visit her yet."
"So what the outside world was saying was true," Yang Chang muttered softly. "Then... the factory and her job..."
Now that Su Su is dead and the Du family can no longer cause trouble, it's the perfect time for Yang Chang to make his move. He was even waiting to have a big showdown with Jiang Wanqing when this unexpected incident occurred.
"You can handle the work matters first. You'll get what you're entitled to, and I'm sure Wan won't object once she's sober. I'll make the decision for her this time."
Yang Chang's eyes flickered, and he swallowed hard.
"Is...is this okay?"
