Chapter 257 Death
After Shen Yuehuai was pushed into the general ward, Shen Sangsang, who also ran to the general ward, immediately chased after him the moment he saw the bed.
But when she was only a few steps away from the bed, Shen Sangsang paused slightly.
Because her sight fell on an extremely pale face. The person was lying on the hospital bed, as if asleep, with his eyes slightly closed.
Shen Sangsang didn't even dare to get too close, because she had never seen him like this before, as fragile as shattered glass.
She staggered and almost fell, and Xu Jie beside her supported her again.
She continued, “It’s okay.”
In just a second, she walked straight to the bedside and then followed the nurse who was pushing the bed into the ward.
After the nurses and doctors set up and adjusted all the equipment, the ward finally returned to silence. At this moment, there was only the sound of drips.
Xu Jie was communicating with the doctor on the side, while Shen Sangsang stayed by the bedside, never leaving.
After Xu Jie discussed the postoperative situation with the doctor, he walked in from outside. When he saw the person sitting by the bed, he walked over after a few seconds and said to her: "I'll guard this side."
Shen Sangsang knew that Xu Jie wanted her to go back and rest. At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened. The operation took so long, and it was almost ten o'clock now.
They were all here and hadn't even had dinner yet, let alone rest.
When Shen Sangsang heard what Xu Jie said, she said, "No need. You can go back. I'll just stay here."
Xu Jie wanted to say something, but after seeing her worried eyes, he naturally didn't say anything more. He just nodded, gave the servant beside him a few words, and then walked out of the ward.
After Xu Jie left, Shen Sangsang's gaze fell on the face of the person on the hospital bed again. After a few seconds, she reached out and gently held the slightly cold hands. After holding them loosely for a few seconds, she still felt it was not enough, so she finally held those hands tightly.
Perhaps she was too tense or too tired, but after holding those hands for a while, she fell asleep exhausted on the bed.
The maid came back with breakfast from outside. The first thing she did when she pushed the door open was to remind the person guarding the bed to eat. However, what she saw when she came in was that the person guarding the bed was fast asleep.
Seeing how tired she looked, the maid could only gently put down the thermos in her hand and took out a blanket from the closet. After she covered the person beside the bed with the blanket, her eyes fell on the person who was also sleeping soundly on the bed, and then the maid's eyes fell on the two people's tightly clasped hands.
The servant sighed for a moment, and finally quietly retreated from the ward without making any noise to disturb the people in the room.
While sleeping, Shen Sangsang had a dream. She dreamed that Shen Yuehuai was dead.
The dream was extremely real because she seemed to touch his dead body in the dream.
The temperature of the corpse was extremely cold. Shen Sangsang was awakened by the biting coldness. The moment she woke up, she lost control and screamed, "Shen Yuehuai——"
When she exclaimed this, she opened her eyes and found that it was just a dream.
She was in the ward at this moment, taking care of him.
Shen Sangsang's gaze fell blankly on a floor lamp in the ward. She felt something cold hanging on her cheek. She reached out and wiped it, and found that the cold thing was actually tears.
Her heart, which had been lifted up, slowly calmed down in an instant. Then, she looked at the person sleeping on the hospital bed. She felt a mixture of fear and relief in her heart.
Fortunately, he did not die, fortunately he was lying here safely.
She reached out and touched his hand again, and found it was warm, not the coldness in her dream.
The tension on Shen Sangsang's face finally relaxed.
After this night passed, at seven o'clock the next morning, Shen Sangsang fell asleep again out of exhaustion. After falling asleep, it was time for Xu Jie to come over, but when Xu Jie pushed open the door of the ward, the person lying on the bed also woke up at this moment.
Xu Jie was a little excited and rushed over and shouted: "Boss——"
But the moment he shouted out these words, Shen Yuehuai, who had just woken up, immediately reached out to him, signaling him not to make a sound.
When Xu Jie saw him packing up with very small movements, his voice immediately stopped and he looked at the person on the hospital bed.
In fact, Chen Sangsang had woken up a long time ago. He woke up once in the middle of the night last night, but because the person lying on the side of his bed was sleeping soundly, he did not disturb him.
This was the second time he woke up and found that she was still asleep, so he didn't let Xu Jie wake her up.
Xu Jie looked at his condition. Apart from being a little weak, he seemed to be fine in other aspects.
After all, yesterday was a major operation, and the person on the hospital bed, except for his chest wrapped in gauze and unable to move, his hands were able to move freely.
"How...are you feeling?"
Xu Jie also asked in a low voice with a trembling voice.
Shen Yuehuai leaned on the bed and said calmly: "Well, I won't die."
Xu Jie was afraid that something might happen on the operating table yesterday.
"As for your breathing..."
"fine."
He then asked, "Why did she come to the hospital?"
Xu Jie hurriedly said, "I told her about your condition. You know, if you don't go through the procedures, she won't let it go."
Shen Yuehuai certainly knew her temper. Leaning on the bed, he looked at the person lying beside him. He looked at her cheeks and found that they were covered with dried tear marks, and there was even a tear hanging on her eyelashes.
"Is she... frightened?
Xu Jie didn't expect that he was only concerned about this aspect. In fact, he had something very important to tell him.
But after thinking it over, he replied, "Not bad, but you can tell he's very worried."
Shen Yuehuai smiled: "She has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Shen Yuehuai couldn't help but reach out and hook a strand of hair beside the man's cheek.
"Xu Jie, do you think I can keep her?"
Xu Jie thought about this question seriously for a few seconds and said, "Yes, but I have something to tell you."
Xu Jie's voice was solemn.
After hearing this, Shen Yuehuai said softly: "You say."
"The doctor said yesterday," Xu Jie paused for a few seconds. He didn't have the courage to speak out, but after thinking for three seconds, he finally spoke again: "The doctor said that the tumor in your lung is malignant."
When Shen Yuehuai heard this, he was not surprised at all.
Because he had guessed this would be the case. From the moment he decided to undergo surgery, he knew it was malignant.
He said calmly, "I know."
Seeing that his face was calm, Xu Jie became anxious: "Boss, this is not a joke, I'm serious."
"Xu Jie, it's a bit selfish of me to keep her, but having reached this point in my life, I just want to be selfish for a while and keep her, even if my future outcome won't be particularly good."
While looking at the sleeping person, he whispered softly to Xu Jie.
