"I didn't lie to you."
"I don't believe it," Zhou Mo let go of his hand, but his eyes didn't leave him. "The bottle of vinegar in your heart has been brewing for ten years now, and not only has it not deteriorated, it has become more and more sour, right?"
Han Chen turned his head away and said nothing.
"Look at you, you don't dare to look people in the eye when someone says something wrong," Zhou Mo said, "Han Chen, you have to understand, we even have a child now. In ten months, we will be the child's parents. What on earth are you still worried about?"
Han Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I lied. I do care about you drinking peach juice."
Zhou Mo held his forehead helplessly, "I drink peach juice because I like it anyway. When I was a kid, my family celebrated New Year's Eve. My mom was cooking dinner at home, and my dad took me to the supermarket to buy groceries. He bought two bottles of beer and told me to pick whatever I wanted. I picked a lot of snacks, and when I got home, my mom scolded me, saying it was New Year's Eve and why I was eating snacks. Later, when my dad took me there again, I behaved and just took fruit juices. I've bought both orange juice and peach juice, and peach juice is sweeter, so I like peach juice. There's no other reason for that."
Han Chen: "Then Tang Tianxi is allergic to peach juice..."
Zhou Mo: "He doesn't drink much fruit juice, you know. He prefers iced tea, and he drinks it like water, summer or winter. Then one time I bought peach juice, and he took a sip to quench his thirst in the middle of summer, and who knew he had an allergic reaction. He'd drunk fruit juice before, and nothing had happened, but that time. He said it was the peach juice that was problematic, but it turned out to be real peaches for human consumption. He personally verified the quality of the peach juice, so why shouldn't I drink it?"
If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you are a fool.
Han Chen: "You've never said that before."
Zhou Mo: "You never asked before."
Han Chen: “…”
Zhou Mo laughed and said, "I did it on purpose. I knew you were jealous of Tang Tianxi, so I kept it to myself."
Han Chen was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhou Mo: "You can get first place in the exam this time and make me mad, but I can't deliberately make you jealous and make you mad even though I know you're jealous?"
Han Chen: “…”
Zhou Mo coaxed, "Okay, now that everything has been explained, don't be jealous anymore."
Han Chen: “…”
Zhou Mo suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, your grandfather also made a deal with me. He said... to use your fourth brother's life in exchange for your third uncle's letter of forgiveness. You should know your fourth brother's condition. If the family agreed to remove the tube, he would not survive."
Han Chen frowned and asked in shock, "Did he really tell you that?"
Zhou Mo: "I don't need to lie to you."
Han Chen's face darkened instantly.
Zhou Mo: "To put it bluntly, your family has been constantly refreshing my understanding of your family."
Han Chen felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I..."
Zhou Mo: "It's not your fault, why apologize? You have done everything you can, and even stood by me. That's enough. You are different from them."
Han Chen pursed his lips slightly, "Thanks to my mother."
Zhou Mo: "Yes, you should thank her."
If it weren't for Liang Xinyun, Han Chen might have been influenced by the Han family's thoughts and customs.
Han Chen finished the rest of the meal, washed the lunch box, and then went to help Zhou Mo with the discharge procedures.
When he came back, he saw Zhou Mo holding a computer and asked, "Have you been busy with work recently?"
Zhou Mo was a little annoyed: "Yeah. There are still many things left to do."
Han Chen: "Can I help?"
Zhou Mo was surprised: "You help me?"
Han Chen: "Yeah."
Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. You don't understand what I want to study. You can't get it."
Han Chen: "I can learn."
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "It's not that easy to learn. I've already earned a doctorate, but I haven't established a solid foundation in this field. I can only do superficial research. You helping me... is too difficult."
Han Chen: "Don't underestimate me. I'm very good at self-study."
Zhou Mo: "Okay, let's talk tonight."
Han Chen: "Okay."
The two agreed to discuss Zhou Mo's work together in the evening.
But it’s not time to get off work yet.
Han Zhen suddenly called.
Han Chen was at work at the time. Han Zhen called and said that Han Hongde had been feeling unwell since returning from the hospital, complaining of chest tightness and headache.
Han Zhen found some medicine for Han Hongde to take and let him rest for a while. After sleeping for two hours, Han Hongde suddenly woke up and became almost unconscious.
Han Zhen quickly called 120.
At this moment, Han Hongde had been sent to the emergency room of the First Hospital of Dongda University.
Upon hearing the news, Han Chen rushed to the emergency room immediately.
However, the doctor told Han Chen that Han Hongde's condition was very bad.
There is suspicion of sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and it is related to his history of hypertension for many years. It may be that emotional excitement caused the rupture of blood vessels in the brain and eventually led to coma.
Han Chen asked the doctor to make a diagnosis as soon as possible and first find out which blood vessel in the brain had the problem.
In addition to the emergency room, Han Chen and Han Zhen also quickly called the imperial capital to inform Han Ju, Han Jing and other brothers.
Han Hongde's health has always been poor. He is very old and has a history of severe hypertension. Usually, everyone who sees Han Hongde is very tolerant of him because they are afraid that he will get into the situation he is in now.
When Han Zhi heard that Han Hongde had been admitted to the hospital, he angrily said, "Dad called me this morning and said he was going to talk to Zhou Mo. That girl must have pissed him off when he was talking to Zhou Mo."
Han Zhen was shocked: "Dad went to find Zhou Mo?"
Han Zhi: "What else? If I hadn't been questioned by the higher-ups, how could I have been manipulated by a little girl like Zhou Mo? I didn't want Dad to go at the time, but Dad said that doing self-criticism was very important and I had to go."
Han Zhen was furious: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Han Zhi: "You live with Dad, don't you know?"
Han Zhen: "He doesn't like to see me and won't let me accompany him."
Han Zhi: "He's so old, and you actually left him alone?"
Han Zhen: "Third brother, now is not the time to divide responsibilities. What should Dad do now? Should he be taken back to the capital for treatment or should he stay in Dongjiang? Also, does anyone from home want to come over? I'll make the arrangements."
Han Zhi: "I'll ask my second brother."
Then Han Zhi hung up the phone.
Waiting for news.
Han Hongde's examination results came out, showing that the bleeding was caused by small blood vessels in the brain, but the bleeding was very large and located in the brain stem, making the operation more difficult.
The doctor said, "We used to have a doctor in our hospital who was very good at treating patients like this. His surgical success rate once reached over 90%. He even had success with extremely elderly patients like your grandfather, but...that doctor is no longer with us."
Han Chen's heart sank. "What now? What should I do?"
The doctor said, "I've already contacted the director of neurosurgery to see if he has any solutions. You'd better also contact the doctors in the capital. Our neurosurgery department has been in decline since the retirement of the previous master. You should know this."
