Chapter 255 Illness
"Okay, whatever time you need me to cooperate with you."
He knew she was anxious, so he didn't delay any longer and got straight to the point.
Shen Sangsang’s words were brief: “Right now.”
"Now?" Shen Yuehuai asked in a low voice after hearing her three words.
"Yes."
At this time, the servant standing aside rushed out: "Madam, I'm afraid it's not convenient for Mr. Shen to be discharged from the hospital now."
The maid's expression was urgent, as if she was about to kill Shen Yuehuai.
Shen Sangsang was a little confused. She just wanted him to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the procedures and get a certificate, which didn't take much time. Why was it inconvenient for him to be discharged from the hospital?
He either doesn't want to or can't.
Shen Sangsang once again cast her gaze on Shen Yuehuai's face, which was filled with coldness.
"Can't we do it today?"
She asked again.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking at the moment.
He thought about her words for a few seconds and said, "If you are in a hurry, let's do it this afternoon."
The maid probably didn't expect Shen Yuehuai to say this. She immediately turned her head and looked at Shen Yuehuai. The maid shouted: "Sir! You can't be discharged now."
Shen Yuehuai didn't react at all to the servant's words, and didn't even blink. He just continued to say to Shen Sangsang, "Afternoon, afternoon is okay?"
He consulted her.
Shen Sangsang had no idea what tricks he was playing. It was no longer realistic to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning, but it would be fine in the afternoon.
As long as it is not postponed to tomorrow, she can still wait today.
She was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so when he asked about doing it in the afternoon, she didn't want to stir up any more trouble and directly made the final decision: "Then in the afternoon."
"Okay, then let's do it this afternoon."
At this time, the servant beside him spoke again: "Sir - you really can't be discharged from the hospital!"
Shen Yuehuai didn't care about the servant's words at all, and said to Shen Sangsang: "Then we'll see you this afternoon."
"Well, see you this afternoon. I'll contact you."
Shen Yuehuai nodded tiredly.
After Shen Sangsang had agreed with him, she naturally turned around and left.
Just as she turned and walked out of the ward, she walked straight towards the elevator door, but when she reached the elevator door, she subconsciously stopped. She turned her head and looked towards the ward door, but the door was closed at this time and she could not see what was going on inside.
For some reason, she felt something strange, and she had no idea where it came from.
Shen Sangsang thought for a long time, so long that she realized she had been standing at the elevator door for five minutes. She felt that her action was too boring, so she shook off those random thoughts from her head, pressed the elevator button, and left this extremely deserted ward.
In the afternoon, Shen Sangsang called Shen Yuehuai at the appointed time.
This time, Shen Yuehuai answered the call quickly. Shen Sangsang didn't even wait for him to speak before saying, "You can leave now."
Before making this call, she was even thinking about buying a plane ticket to leave in the evening.
But there was no sound on the other end of the phone at this moment?
Shen Sangsang frowned, not sure what was going on on his end. She asked, "Are you listening?"
Xu Jie's voice came from the other end: "Sorry, Miss Sangsang, it's me."
Shen Sangsang lowered the phone from her ear and glanced at the screen. She thought she had dialed the wrong number, but the number was Shen Yuehuai's, not Xu Jie's.
She didn't make a mistake.
Shen Sangsang put the phone back to her ear again and asked, "Why did you answer the call? Where's Shen Yuehuai?"
“Mr. Shen may not be able to answer the phone now.”
Anger surged in Shen Sangsang's heart: "What do you mean? Are you kidding me? We agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon? How come it's only a few hours away and it's not convenient for you to answer the phone?! Don't push me. If you push me to a dead end, I can do anything, you know." Shen Sangsang was extremely angry, so much so that even she herself found it a little unbelievable.
However, this is the only thing she needs their cooperation on now.
But they kept making things difficult for her, so how could she remain calm?
Xu Jie remained unmoved by her anger on the other end of the phone.
This made Shen Sangsang even more annoyed, and she was even more certain that they were teaming up to play a trick on her: "Where is he now?! I'm going to go find him right now!"
She must make sure he gets this done today.
Must.
But just as she was thinking this in her heart, Xu Jie suddenly said, "Boss Shen is in the operating room."
"Ding——" A sound similar to a microwave oven's prompt sound penetrated her ears. For a moment, her mind went blank and she held the phone tightly in her hand.
She stared blankly ahead, her lips moved twice, she wanted to make a sound, but found that there was no sound in her throat.
Her mouth trembled for a long time before she finally asked a complete question: "You said he was in the operating room?"
"Yes."
Shen Sangsang asked, “Why is he in the operating room?”
"Mr. Shen is sick."
"What's wrong?"
"There's a shadow in the lungs, it might be a tumor."
"You mean, you mean a tumor?"
"The surgery was scheduled for today. I thought he would tell you about it in the morning."
"When did it happen?"
Shen Sangsang didn’t believe that all this was true. She even thought that it was a delaying tactic on their part and a lie.
Xu Jie's voice trembled slightly on the other end of the phone as she said, "Boss Shen has been coughing up blood this year. A month ago, he went to the hospital feeling extremely unwell. He went for a checkup, and this is what he discovered."
That pale and haggard face suddenly flashed in Shen Sangsang’s mind.
She had felt that there was something wrong with his expression before, and she thought it was because she was too sensitive, but she didn't expect that such a thing could happen?
She whispered, "Are you guys lying to me? Are you making up such a ridiculous story just because you don't want to go through the formalities with me?"
Shen Sangsang was more inclined to believe that Shen Yuehuai's illness was fake.
She even hoped that Xu Jie would admit it to her.
But Xu Jie continued, "If you don't believe me, you can come over now. He's in the operating room right now. The surgery will take a full three hours."
"Ms. Sangsang, none of us would joke about Mr. Shen's health. You should know what his health problems mean to the Shen family."
Inexplicably, a tear slid down Shen Sangsang's face. Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly. After taking a deep breath for a few seconds, she whispered, "Okay, I'll come over now. It's still the same hospital, right?"
"Yes, I'll send a car to pick you up."
