Chapter 223 Is there no chance to say goodbye to her properly?
Hospital
The red 'emergency room' emitted a faint red light, which was very dazzling.
The pure white diamond wedding dress was stained with red blood, the blood had solidified, her hair was disheveled, and her usually bright and cheerful face was covered with crisscrossing tear marks.
Xu Xian's mind was in a mess, her legs were weak, and she stood stubbornly at the door of the emergency room. If someone hadn't supported her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Her whole body was shaking, and her bloodshot eyes were staring straight at the door of the emergency room.
Jiang Shibai hugged her tightly, but his hot body temperature could not warm her cold body.
He didn't care that the bloodstains on the wedding dress had stained her white shirt red, and gently stroked the head tucked in front of his chest, now and then, as if to comfort her.
Xu Xian felt no comfort, as if he had lost consciousness. The chill spreading from his tailbone seeped into his fingertips, and his blood seemed to be flowing backwards, making every minute and every second difficult.
The journey from the wedding venue to the hospital seemed like an unreal dream.
She stumbled downstairs, tripped over the carpet, and rolled and crawled outside. Her weak legs were completely out of control, and she fell heavily on the grass again.
The screams around her and Jiang Shibai's anxious shouts could not reach her ears. She only had one thought in her mind: her mother.
The fish pond was crowded with people. She pushed through the crowd and saw her mother slumped in a wheelchair, spitting blood from her mouth.
She shouted again and again in the ambulance, but no one responded to her.
Now standing at the door of the emergency room, she still couldn't believe what she saw. She wondered if she had played too late last night and was still asleep.
Suddenly, the red light in the emergency room went out.
After a while, a doctor in a blue surgical gown opened the door and came out. The Jiang family members and Li Nanyan and others who were standing around surrounded him and asked about the situation.
Xu Xian didn't dare to step forward, and even subconsciously took a step back.
Her eyes were red and she clutched Jiang Shibai's shirt tightly.
She knew her mother's condition very well. She was forcing herself to attend the wedding, and now she was vomiting blood and in a coma. Her condition was very serious.
I dare not listen to the answer.
Jiang Shibai felt her retreat, touched her cold little face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid, dear, I'm here."
The heavy crowd couldn't block out the doctor's voice. He explained the situation to Jiang Yanfeng, "The patient has been rescued."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shibai clearly felt the person in his arms relax.
Jiang Yanfeng exhaled and asked hurriedly, "Is everything okay?"
The doctor shook his head solemnly. "The patient's lung cancer condition was already grim, and he had been trying to hold on. This time, he was so upset that he became so angry that he couldn't catch his breath and vomited blood. Shortness of breath caused him to faint. We're lucky that he was able to be resuscitated."
"She is not out of danger and is still in a coma. I'm afraid she will only be here for the next few days. You family members should be mentally prepared."
"Will she wake up?" Wen Tingyun asked with a frown, looking worried.
The doctor's voice was heavy, "I don't have an answer for that."
No answer means possible death in sleep.
Xu Xian's face was as pale as a piece of white paper. The taut string broke completely. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and Jiang Shibai's frightened voice rang in her ears, calling her name.
Then, there was no sound in the world.
When she woke up again, she was in the ward. Xu Xian stared blankly at the white ceiling, and then he jumped up as if he was suddenly awakened.
She felt a tingling sensation on the back of her hand, and her numb nerves regained some feeling. She saw Jiang Shibai sitting in a chair beside the bed with his eyes closed.
The man had a dark circle under his eyes, a thin stubble, and was unkempt in his bloodstained white shirt.
Perhaps he heard her movement, Jiang Shibai opened his cloudy eyes, the whites of his eyes were all red bloodshot. The moment he saw her, the worry he had felt for the past few days was alleviated a little.
He quickly pressed the call bell at the bedside, and carefully used cotton to press the back of his hand to remove the needle. The needle stained with blood began to ooze out liquid.
"My dear, you——"
The man's hoarse voice hadn't finished coming out when Xu Xian anxiously interrupted him, "Where's my mother?"
Jiang Shibai raised his dark eyes, stared closely into her worried eyes, and told her the truth, "Don't worry, Mom is fine. She is in the intensive care unit now."
After coming out of the emergency room, her mother was admitted to the intensive care unit, where all the equipment and medicines were used to keep her alive.
"Is she awake?" Xu Xian grabbed his hand, his eyes full of hope.
Jiang Shibai avoided her gaze, feeling a little reluctant. "Not yet, but the doctor said the chances of waking up are very high, so don't worry too much."
He lied. The doctor's original words were that the chances of waking up were very slim.
"I want to go see her." Xu Xian lifted the quilt on his body.
Jiang Shibai stopped her from moving, his lips moving, wanting to say something, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he finally spoke: "Mom is in the intensive care unit. Even if you go, you can't visit. Just lie down and don't move."
"Let the doctor examine you first, then I'll take you to see her, okay?"
She fainted unexpectedly yesterday and finally woke up. He was afraid to take her to the intensive care unit in case she became emotionally agitated and fell into a coma again.
It would be safest to have a doctor examine her first.
Xu Xian's eyes misted over, his voice choked with sobs, almost begging, "I... I'll just take a look... just one look."
She couldn't stay here peacefully without seeing her mother with her own eyes.
Jiang Shibai looked at her deeply, picked her up, and took her to the intensive care unit upstairs, passing the doctors and nurses who rushed over.
Through the large piece of transparent glass, Xu Xian looked at Zhang Wan lying on the hospital bed full of tubes, and silently shed two lines of tears.
Jiang Shibai didn't say anything to comfort her, but just stayed by her side quietly and wiped her tears.
After an unknown amount of time, she murmured, "Will I never hear my mother call me Nannan again? Will I have the chance to say goodbye to her properly?"
She and her mother had jokingly planned the day of her death. They said they would talk to each other from the heart and say goodbye formally.
Instead of being like my father, who had an accident and didn’t even get to see him for the last time, and didn’t even have time to say his last words before he passed away.
Jiang Shibai was stunned for a moment and couldn't give her an answer.
He carried her back to the ward only after her legs became numb from standing.
Xu Xianru was like a walking corpse, drinking the porridge brought by Aunt Zhang numbly. If Jiang Shibai hadn't blown on the porridge to cool it down, she would have swallowed it directly while it was boiling hot.
After taking a few sips, she slowly asked, "Why is my mother suddenly irritated?"
She heard the doctor say it was caused by anger.
But her wedding scene witnessed her happy moment.
Why would her mother be so upset and angry?
Jiang Shibai was silent for a moment, then told her what Wang Bai had found out, "It's Zhai Jin."
Xu Xian's hands, which were spread on the quilt, suddenly clenched, her fingertips digging deep into the flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.
Jiang Shibai frowned slightly, immediately put down the porridge, and used a little force to pull her palm away, "Don't hurt yourself."
Xu Xian stared at him expressionlessly, as if he had no emotions. "What's next?"
Jiang Shibai held her hand, not letting her move. "She told mom that she was your friend," he said. She pushed mom for a walk by the fish pond, and the blanket on mom's knees was accidentally caught in the wheel. Aunt Wan was sent away by her to get a new blanket.
"Afterwards, she showed my mother the video of us in the car that night and said some unpleasant things to her, which is why my mother got angry and passed out."
"Where is she?" Xu Xian's voice seemed to be immersed in ice.
"She is locked up in the Zhai family. I sent someone to control her."
"I'm going to Zhai's house."
