Fu Shuxian and Zheng Peilan's hands were tightly intertwined, and their fingertips turned white due to the force.
The two of them stared at the tightly closed door of the operating room, their eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Meng Xiaoqi paced back and forth mechanically in the narrow corridor. The rustling sound of her soles rubbing against the ground struck everyone's heart hard.
Time seemed to stand still. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the operating room finally shook slightly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were directed towards the door as if attracted by a magnet. Everyone subconsciously held their breath, and the air seemed to be still.
The door slowly opened, and the doctor walked out with tired steps, but there was a relieved smile on his face.
"The operation was successful, the bullet was removed, and he is out of danger for now, but he still needs to be well nursed back to health."
Hearing this, Song Shishi felt her legs go weak and her knees slammed uncontrollably onto the ground. Tears instantly burst out.
Thank God, he's okay.
...
...
Zheng Peilan hurried forward, used both hands to lift her up from the ground, and comforted her softly: "Xunzhou is a blessed man, he will be fine. He needs you right now. If you fall, what will he do?"
Yes, Xunzhou still needs her care.
Song Shishi took a deep breath, forced herself to cheer up, and tried to give Zheng Peilan a slightly pale smile.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I just stood for too long and my legs are weak."
Zheng Peilan has always been in poor health and cannot stand stimulation, and now she has to worry about herself.
Thinking of this, Song Shishi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt.
"As long as you and Xunzhou are doing well, that's better than anything else."
How could Zheng Peilan not see her stubbornness? She raised her hand and gently patted her back, saying softly, "Come and take a look."
After Meng Xunzhou was pushed out of the operating room, he was directly admitted to the general ward.
The space in the ward is limited, and not too many people are allowed to guard it.
Seeing that Meng Xunzhou was still unconscious, the others left one after another after staying for a while.
Fu Shuxian broke down emotionally and fainted from crying. In the end, Meng Guanru carried her away with heartache.
"Be good, you stay here and take care of Xunzhou. Mom will go back and pack some daily necessities and clothes for you." Zheng Peilan didn't say anything else. She patted Song Shishi's head gently, her eyes full of love, and then took Meng Xiaoqi back.
Song Shishi sat quietly beside the hospital bed, looking at Meng Xunzhou, whose face was pale and bloodless, and her heart ached.
She gently held Meng Xunzhou's hands. His hands were usually warm and strong, but now they were so cold that it made her feel uneasy.
She put her face on Meng Xunzhou's hand and whispered, "Hubby, when will you wake up? I'm so scared. Our good days have just begun. You can't be irresponsible and leave me alone like this."
As she spoke, tears filled her eyes again.
When she first deeply felt that she might lose Meng Xunzhou, she even had the urge to go with Meng Xunzhou.
Maybe it was because she was too emotional and affected Meng Xunzhou, but she held Meng Xunzhou's hand and felt his fingers move slightly.
Song Shishi became alert instantly, raised her head and stared at Meng Xunzhou's face.
Meng Xunzhou's brows slightly frowned and his eyelids began to tremble slowly.
"Xunzhou, are you awake? Xunzhou!"
Song Shishi leaned forward slightly and called out excitedly, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness and anticipation.
Meng Xunzhou slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but only a weak sound came out.
"Don't talk, you just had surgery and you're still weak."
Song Shishi hurriedly stopped him, her eyes full of distress, "I'm here, you have a good rest."
Meng Xunzhou's eyes slowly swept around the ward and finally fell on Song Shishi's face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he nodded gently at her.
Seeing that Meng Xunzhou's lips were so dry that they were peeling, Song Shishi quickly stood up and went to pour him some water.
Meng Xunzhou thought she was going to leave, so he grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
Song Shishi turned around and looked at him, whispering softly as if coaxing a child: "I won't leave, you see your lips are all chapped, I'll pour you some water."
After hearing this, Meng Xunzhou slowly let go of her hand.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward and a nurse came in with a medicine tray.
"It's good that you're awake. Come, give me the medicine first."
The nurse took a quick look and saw that he was in good condition. She spoke while skillfully preparing to give him an infusion.
Song Shishi was on the other side, pouring him a cup of hot water.
It was not until the infusion was over that Meng Xunzhou felt a little better.
He gently held Song Shishi's hand.
"I'm sorry, daughter-in-law, for making you and your parents worry."
Although Meng Xunzhou was able to make sounds, he was still weak, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Getting hurt is inevitable.
As a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders.
Even though I feel sad, I can't say anything.
"Knowing that we are worried, you should be more careful and protect yourself. When I think about the possibility of losing you, I..."
As Song Shishi spoke, her voice began to choke.
She didn't want to make the still weak Meng Xunzhou worry about her, so she suppressed the emotions that were rising up in her mind, lowered her head, and hid the sadness in her eyes.
"I got caught because I was a little impatient this time. I won't do that next time."
Meng Xunzhou whispered a promise to her.
Song Shishi nodded and held his hand tightly. "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat?"
As soon as she finished speaking, before Meng Xunzhou could reply, there was a noise outside the ward door.
Zheng Peilan walked in carrying a big bag of daily necessities and clothes.
Seeing Meng Xunzhou wake up, Zheng Peilan showed a relieved smile on her face.
"Xunzhou is awake. You scared everyone. Your mother wanted to come with me, but she fainted from crying in the afternoon. Your father asked her to rest at home."
Zheng Peilan walked to the bedside, Song Shishi took the luggage from her, and then gently placed the things in her hands on the ground next to the bedside table.
"How do you feel now? Does the wound still hurt?"
Zheng Peilan came forward and took a look at Meng Xunzhou's wound.
"Mom, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt much anymore."
After that, Meng Xunzhou was worried about Fu Shuxian again, and then asked: "Is my mother okay? Has she seen a doctor?"
"Your mom is being taken care of by your dad. She's been to the doctor and is fine now. It's just that your dad is worried about her. But they will come over tomorrow morning, so we'll see her then."
Zheng Peilan said this, but her hands did not stop moving.
She took out the lunch box that was wrapped in several layers from her bag.
"I was afraid you wouldn't be used to the food in the hospital, so I cooked two dishes you like right after I got home. If there's anything else you want to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Zheng Peilan opened the lunch box and handed it to Song Shishi, then sat down on the chair next to her and watched them quietly.
Song Shishi was afraid that Meng Xunzhou would hurt his wound, so she took a spoon and fed Meng Xunzhou one spoonful at a time.
"Mom, have you eaten yet? How about we eat together?"
Song Shishi thought about Zheng Peilan rushing back to pack things and cook. After she was done, she was worried that they would be hungry. Carrying so many things back to the hospital, she probably wouldn't have time to take care of herself.
Zheng Peilan waved her hand and said, "You guys eat, I'll go back after a short rest, your mother-in-law and the others are waiting for me."
Fu Shuxian fainted and no one in the Meng family cooked dinner.
There were many people in their family, so Zheng Peilan simply went to the Meng family to cook dinner.
Originally, Meng Xiaoqi wanted to bring things and food, but Zheng Peilan felt uneasy until she saw Meng Xunzhou wake up, so she refused.
