When I woke up again, all I saw was a blinding white.
I closed my eyes again, slowly opening them a crack until I adjusted.
"Ruan Ruan, you're awake!"
Jiang Lai was so excited, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I'll ask Mr. Zhang to show you!"
Before I could say anything, she ran away in a hurry.
Dr. Zhang is next door, treating Zhou Fang.
"Mr. Zhang, Ruan Ruan is awake."
While treating Zhou Fang, Elder Zhang asked, "How is your condition?"
Jiang Laigen didn't have time to take a closer look, and after asking, he forgot to wait for Ruan Ruan's reply.
"Let me take another look."
After saying that, he ran to the next door in a hurry.
…
Probably because I had been unconscious for a long time, my mouth was a little dry, but when I was sure that I could feel that the child was still there, I breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get up to drink some water.
Jiang Lai ran back at this time and quickly took the cup from my hand.
"I'll pour it for you. Just lie down and wait for Mr. Zhang to come over and take a look before you move."
I saw that she was very anxious and was afraid that something might happen to the child, so I lay back down.
Jiang Lai poured a cup of warm water and handed it to me, then adjusted the pillows behind me so that I could lean on it more comfortably.
I was helpless, "You don't have to be so careful, I haven't reached that level yet."
Jiang Lai said seriously, "You don't have to act relaxed in front of me. We have so many close friends, I know you well."
I lowered my head to drink water, hiding the sorrow in my eyes, and didn't answer her. "Where's Zhou Fang?"
Jiang Laiyu: "He has a high fever and is being treated next door."
She didn't give me a chance to speak, and continued, "Ruan Ruan, I didn't try to persuade you before because I know there's no true empathy in the world. No matter how much I say to comfort you, grandma won't come back."
"Besides, the death of a loved one is always a damp one, so I didn't tell you to look at it in front of your parents, or to tell you not to be too sad, etc. But now I have to say it."
"You can't be so mean anymore. I'm not kidnapping you with the child, but you said yourself that if you want to keep her, then you have to be responsible for her. Otherwise, you'd better kill her now."
"Don't let her suffer with you. You will also be hurt physically and mentally."
"Also, don't keep it to yourself. You can choose not to cry, but tell me your true feelings."
"You've been holding it in your heart, and in the end you feel uncomfortable. You have yourself, your child, and Zhou Fang."
"And those of us who care about you."
Jiang Lai said his mouth was dry, so he drank a glass of water and prepared to continue.
I raised my hand to stop her and asked, "Is my child okay?"
Jiang Laiyu: "You are so depressed. Mr. Zhang said he is not that godlike. Just keep the child."
"In order to prevent you from feeling uncomfortable and hurting your body, Zhou Fang has already said that if we can't keep the child, we can give it up."
"He can't bear to see you suffer."
"I can't bear to see this either. If I can't persuade you, then this child is not meant to be with us."
I was silent for a moment, not knowing where to start.
I never thought that grandma would leave me so soon. Now I have made preparations to be filial to her in the future.
He was even willing to take care of Shen Wen Zhong for her sake.
But once I settle down, I won't see her again.
But, because of the baby in my belly, I don’t have time to digest it.
I had to jump out of my grandma's death mood immediately.
But this is not an easy task.
I pursed my lips and said, "Let me check on Zhou Fang first."
Jiang Laidan pushed the wheelchair.
I also felt that I had no strength left, so I sat in a wheelchair and asked her to push me across the street.
When Mr. Zhang saw me, he took my pulse first.
He said, "I don't recommend taking too many medications. If you can resolve the depression yourself, that's even better. If you really can't do that, then you can take medication."
I thanked Mr. Zhang and went to see Zhou Fang.
Zhang Laoyi: "His condition isn't great either. The only consolation is that he's in good physical condition, but he can't handle a high fever."
"If the fever doesn't go away by night, we have to be prepared."
I held Zhou Fang's hand, it was so hot that I trembled.
It’s so hot?
No matter how healthy his body was, he couldn't handle it, not to mention he was injured.
"Prepare for what?"
Elder Zhang and Professor Qin exchanged a glance and said, "Let's assume the worst-case scenario. If the fever turns into pneumonia, coupled with the extensive inflamed wounds, he..."
It’s better not to mention that word again for the next day.
"You can't stay up late or overwork yourself. Go back home and rest after watching. Even if you can't sleep, just close your eyes and rest."
"We'll keep an eye on this."
Zhou Fang was lying on his stomach. I saw the wound all over his back and my nose felt very sore.
But I don't want to cry anymore.
Crying is useless.
"Jiang Lai."
"Ruan Ruan, you say."
I took a deep breath, trying to look okay. "I want to eat something."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you right away."
It was getting late now, and Chi Zhan followed along.
"Buy more, everyone probably hasn't eaten yet."
I knew I should eat after the funeral, but one thing led to another and I never got around to it.
But even after I told this story, Professor Zhang and Professor Qin were still worried.
They can tell whether a person is truly cheerful or just pretending.
After all, it was a relative who passed away, and no one could recover so quickly.
Just take it slow.
Sometimes, you just have to let nature take its course.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
…
Zhou Fang woke up for a moment, saw me, held my hand tightly with his backhand, and quickly closed his eyes again.
It happened so quickly that if you hadn't been watching, you would have hardly noticed that he had woken up.
"It's okay, don't worry. He must be thinking about you, but his health doesn't allow it. He's relieved to see that you're okay here." Mr. Zhang explained.
I wiped the sweat from Zhou Fang's forehead and sighed softly.
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he did not interrupt us and sat on the sofa with Professor Qin to discuss some medical ideas.
I didn’t understand either, so I just leaned on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhou Fang.
Wait a moment, then take his temperature.
But the temperature goes up and down, and my heart goes up and down with it.
If anything happens to Zhou Fang again because of me, I will be even more guilty.
The people around me, one after another, all had bad endings.
"You're imagining things again."
Hearing this, I was startled. Zhou Fang opened his eyes and asked, "Were you the one who was talking just now?"
Zhou Fang pulled the corner of his lip. "When you were like this, I thought you had a high fever and were crazy."
I quickly took his temperature, and it was still high. I looked at Mr. Zhang and asked, "Can I have some water?"
Mr. Zhang: "You can use a cotton swab to moisten it."
I stood up, but Zhou Fang held me down. "I don't want to drink. Don't move around, and don't sit here all the time. Lie down on the bed and rest."
"Also, don't always take the blame on yourself and think you are the trouble."
I didn't know how to react. "You were sleeping and I didn't say anything, so how do you know so much?"
"Because I know you."
Zhou Fang's eyelids drooped, and he was obviously in pain. I quickly said, "Don't talk so much. Wait until your fever goes down before you say anything."
Zhou Fang pressed my palm with her thumb.
I was confused. "What's wrong?"
"No……"
After a brief silence, Zhou Fang glanced at me and said, "Your palms have been sweating. When you held me tightly just now, I knew you must be imagining things."
"Ah Ruan, don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes."
I raised my lips, wanting him to rest for a while, but before I could utter a word, I saw him close his eyes again.
