Chapter 27 Deja Vu
Xu Qingsui opened her eyes and saw a sea of white. The smell of disinfectant lingered in her nose. She subconsciously raised her hand and the warm touch enveloped her.
"Don't move, I'm still getting an IV." Huo Xilin said in a hoarse voice, "Would you like some water?"
Xu Qingsui turned his head and saw Huo Xilin standing up, his eyes were full of red bloodshot, a green beard grew on his usually clean face, and he looked a little haggard.
"Why am I in the hospital?" Xu Qingsui shook his dizzy head and recalled what happened last night.
"The doctor said you have low blood sugar, and..." Huo Xilin hesitated, "Anyway, it's nothing serious. You can be discharged after the infusion today. Pay more attention to rest and nutrition in the future. It's mainly because of your poor physical fitness that caused the short coma."
Xu Qingsui did not doubt him and glanced at the big sun outside the window: "Oh no, I haven't asked Manager Guo for leave yet."
She hurriedly tried to find her cell phone, but Huo Xilin bent down and held her hand: "I've already asked for leave for you, just stay quiet and recuperate!"
Huo Xilin's tone was filled with worry and a little anger.
Xu Qingsui was forced to lie back down. Huo Xilin poured a glass of water, inserted a straw, tested the water temperature, and when he felt it was just right, he handed it to her and said, "Drink some."
Xu Qingsui drank two sips obediently and said to Huo Xilin gratefully: "Thank you for last night. Did you not sleep all night?"
"What do you think?" Huo Xilin asked back.
Xu Qingsui felt a little guilty when asked: "I can handle the infusion myself, you go back and rest first, if I get better and you fall ill again, I will be guilty."
Huo Xilin snorted coldly: "You will also think about me?"
His words sounded strange, as if he had a deep grudge against her.
"Of course, if you really fell ill because of me, I would feel guilty."
Huo Xilin approached Xu Qingsui, his eyes burning: "If you weren't sick because of me, would you be worried about me?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous, and Xu Qingsui had a momentary illusion that Huo Xilin cared a lot about his position in her heart.
Before Xu Qingsui could answer, there was a knock on the ward door. Huo Xilin thought it was the medical staff coming to check on him, so he stood up and opened the door with some regret and a little relief.
The oppressive feeling disappeared with Huo Xilin's departure. Xu Qingsui breathed a sigh of relief, but his accelerated heartbeat did not ease.
The door of the ward opened, and an anxious and worried female voice sounded: "Brother Lin, I heard that you were in the hospital. What happened to you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xu Qingsui turned her head and saw Yan Xisui holding Huo Xilin's arm and looking her up and down. The moment she raised her head, her eyes met hers, and a look of worry froze on her face, which then gradually faded and turned into indifference.
"So Miss Xu is sick?"
"If there's nothing else, go back first." Huo Xilin ordered Yan Xisui to leave.
Yan Xisui's eyes were moist, and she said aggrievedly: "Brother Lin, do you have to be so cold to me? I heard that you were in the hospital, so I rushed here without even having breakfast. Even though I went abroad without saying anything before, it was my fault, I admit it, but can you give me a chance to make a new beginning and not be so cruel to me, okay?"
Yan Xisui became more and more sad as she spoke, and she cried as her eyes watered while hugging Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin wanted to push her away, with an imperceptible annoyance deep in his eyes.
The crying stopped abruptly, and Yan Xisui collapsed in Huo Xilin's arms.
Huo Xilin's eyebrows jumped, "Doctor!"
The incident happened suddenly. Seeing Huo Xilin carrying Yan Xisui away in a panic, Xu Qingsui also became anxious.
Outside the emergency room, Huo Xilin sat on a stool, his head tilted back and his eyes closed, looking lonely, as if he was waiting for God's verdict. He felt helpless and didn't want to accept his fate, but could do nothing about it.
Xu Qingsui approached him step by step, and this scene brought back some forgotten memories.
She squatted in front of Huo Xilin and carefully covered his hand with her own.
Huo Xilin suddenly opened his eyes as if frightened, and lowered his head to meet Xu Qingsui's worried gaze.
"Don't worry, Miss Yan should be fine, right?" Xu Qingsui comforted weakly.
"Why are you wearing so little? It's very cold in the hospital." Huo Xilin urged Xu Qingsui to go back to the ward: "Yan Xisui is still in there receiving emergency treatment. I can't leave for the time being. You go back first."
"I'm fine now. Let's wait together. I won't feel at ease without any news." After saying this, Xu Qingsui stood up and sat down next to Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin sighed, as if he couldn't do anything about her, and took off his coat and put it on her.
Just then, the door of the emergency room opened and the doctor walked out.
“Who are the patient’s family members?”
Seeing Huo Xilin stand up, the doctor said, "The patient suffered from sudden cardiac syncope, which was caused by an acquired heart disease. The situation is not optimistic. With a suitable heart replacement, there is a possibility of recovery. If you insist on conservative treatment, you can also remember not to let the patient's emotions fluctuate too much, otherwise this kind of syncope will occur from time to time. You family members should still be prepared to deal with it."
After the doctor finished speaking, Yan Xisui was pushed out of the emergency room. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, "Brother Lin..."
Huo Xilin stood there in a daze, not responding for a long time.
Seeing Yan Xisui about to cry, her pale face was really pitiful. The doctor reminded: "The patient must not have too much emotional fluctuations at this time. You as family members should do a good job of comforting her."
Huo Xilin stretched out his hand reluctantly and shook hands with Yan Xisui.
In the ward, Huo Xilin leaned against the window with a gloomy look on his face.
"You were in good health before, how come you got this disease?"
Yan Xisui showed a bitter smile and pretended to be strong and said: "I didn't want to let you know, it's just that my health is not good enough. I went abroad just to treat my illness. Brother Lin, I really don't want to leave you, I just don't want you to worry..."
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
Huo Xilin frowned, but didn't come forward in the end. "The doctor said that you can't let your emotions fluctuate too much. Your disease may still be cured, so don't worry too much."
"Brother Lin, are you still blaming me for leaving without saying goodbye?"
"No, what happened between you and me is over..."
Xu Qingsui listened to the conversation in the ward and felt that he was very redundant, so he sent a message to Huo Xilin and went to go through the discharge procedures.
Seeing Xu Qingsui coming back, Aunt Wang asked with surprise and worry: "Mrs. Huo, why are you back? Mr. Huo asked me to make chicken soup for you and send it to the hospital. I just made it."
"It's okay, I'm discharged from the hospital." Xu Qingsui changed his shoes and walked in.
Aunt Wang served the chicken soup and placed it on the table: "Mrs. Huo, you eat first. I still have to go to the hospital. Mr. Huo asked me to take care of Miss Yan."
