In the snow and ice.
Sheng Huai was wearing a knee-length black coat with an off-white high-necked cashmere sweater underneath. He stood there tall and handsome, with a thin layer of ice already forming on his black leather shoes.
The servant of Teacher Yun's family came back to talk, looking at him with sympathy in her eyes.
"Master Sheng, you should go back first...it's snowing so heavily."
"good."
Sheng Huai lowered his head and thanked him, but didn't insist.
He turned around and walked away from the villa door step by step.
In the vast expanse of white, it looks like a lonely wandering soul without a home, walking alone between heaven and earth.
When dusk fell, Teacher Yun drove Su Yun to the hospital.
She looked at the rearview mirror, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Xiaoyun, if your aunt needs any help, you must tell me."
Then she added: "No matter what, I will help you."
Su Yun knew what Teacher Yun wanted to ask.
A sensitive and intelligent person like her must have been able to see that she was on guard against Su Mingan.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Su Yun smiled lightly with a brisk tone.
Teacher Yun sighed lightly and did not ask any further questions.
The car slowly stopped in front of the hospital gate.
She turned around and said, "Be careful. If anything happens, you must call me!"
"Got it... Go get busy. You still have to go to the university town for a meeting today."
"Okay, I'll come see you when I'm done."
Su Yun agreed and got out of the car carefully.
There was thick ice on the road. She waved to Teacher Yun and took small steps towards the gate.
The ICU area was as quiet as ever, yet filled with an air of sadness.
The nurse at the door greeted her: "Ms. Su, visiting hours are not over yet."
"I know."
Su Yun nodded, then turned around and stared at the glass window in a daze.
My mother has been in a coma for a long time.
She now has no idea what happened on that day.
She waited until four o'clock before walking in wearing a sterile suit.
Su Yun half-knelt on the ground, carefully combing her hair with her fingers. After three chemotherapy sessions, most of her mother's originally thick, black, shoulder-length hair had fallen out.
"mom……"
She choked with sobs and slowly smoothed her mother's frown.
Chen Juan lay quietly, her skinny hands hanging naturally, her face was sallow, her body was full of tubes, and now she even needed nasogastric feeding to eat.
She no longer had the energy to lean against the head of the bed to support her daughter and scold Sheng Huai.
Su Yun turned sideways and put her face on the back of her mother's hand.
"Mom, you're going to be a grandmother..."
She looked at the sleeping face in front of her with tears in her eyes, trying to smile happily: "I will definitely be a good mother. You must wake up soon. My child is still waiting for her grandmother to give her a name..."
The short 30-minute visiting time passed quickly, and Su Yun wiped away her tears and walked out of the ward.
She still couldn't bear to leave, and stood in front of the glass window and looked for a long time.
In the corridor, Lin An looked at her with his hands in his white coat.
Her long hair was tied up in a messy bun, her little face was tearful, there were tears in her eyes, and her wrists looked so slender and fragile.
Looks beautiful and fragile.
Lin An felt that he understood this woman less and less.
It seems that every time it feels most helpless, it bursts out with powerful vitality.
He raised his hand to adjust his glasses and walked over.
"Ms. Su."
Su Yun turned around and looked at him, raised her red and swollen eyes and smiled softly: "Hello, Doctor Lin."
"You should keep a good mood now and don't be too sad."
Lin An looked at her and said gently: "If you need any help, you can come to me."
"Okay." Su Yun pursed her lips and asked softly, "Doctor Lin, my mother has been in a coma for a long time. Will she be in a coma forever..."
"Miss Su, don't think about it now. I believe your aunt doesn't want you to be sad because of her."
Lin An frowned slightly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
As a doctor, he was a little confused and felt that Su Mingan didn't seem to want his wife to wake up.
Or rather, he hoped that Chen Juan...
However, looking at Su Yun's face as pale as paper, he finally didn't say these words.
"Su Yun!"
A sharp voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Lin An turned around and frowned.
Su Mingan was dressed in a suit and tie, his hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing pungent perfume.
He was full of energy, but became angry when he saw Su Yun.
He rushed to the two of them, pushed Lin An away, pointed at his daughter's face and started to curse:
"You useless thing!"
"Is the news report true? Are you and Sheng Huai really divorced?"
Lin An stared at him and spoke gently, "Uncle Su, this is a hospital, please keep your voice down. Can we go to the ward to discuss anything?"
Su Mingan opened his mouth and cursed: "It's none of your business!"
"You're just a doctor, and you dare to teach me!"
“Shut up!”
Su Yun stared at him coldly, suppressed anger flashing in her eyes.
"Recently, I've been dressing more and more elegantly..."
She sneered and lowered her voice, "Dad...are you going on a date with your lover?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Su Mingan was so angry that he felt guilty: "I have been in love with your mother for decades, stop making random guesses here!"
"yes……"
"If you still want to date another woman when your mother is in this situation, you'd better be careful of the retribution of being killed without a burial place..."
Su Mingan's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Who did you learn such a vicious mouth from?"
Su Yun sneered.
"You didn't do it, so why are you feeling guilty? Are you really afraid that you will die without a burial place?"
Su Mingan raised his hand and yelled, "You bastard!"
"Today I will teach you how to speak!"
"Uncle Su!"
Lin An held his arm, and his face was filled with anger. "This is a hospital, please be careful about your behavior, and -"
"Don't you think it's too much to hit your own daughter because of a word?"
"Or... is it really like what Miss Su said, that you feel guilty?"
Su Mingan panicked and quickly softened his tone: "Doctor Lin, you don't know what the media said. I am really angry!"
He pulled his daughter's arm: "Xiao Yun, is what the news said true? Are you and Sheng Huai really divorced?!"
Su Yun gave him a cold look.
"You haven't answered me yet. What do you do when you dress so formally every day?"
Su Mingan hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't say a word. He could only sit down with his head in his arms, "Ah, I'm so angry at you that my head hurts..."
Su Yun just felt disgusted!
"Take care of your own affairs first, then worry about me!"
She turned around and smiled at Lin An: "Doctor Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you."
The two nodded goodbye, and Su Yun went straight into the elevator and went downstairs.
Su Mingan found that no one was paying attention to him, so he got up and left in disappointment.
…
In an office building in the city center.
An Chengling was wearing a beige sweater, holding a coffee cup in his hand, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window watching the snow.
The secretary knocked on the door.
"Lawyer An, a Miss Su wants to see you."
