These words were purely for comfort; even he himself didn't believe them.
But time believed it:
"Okay, I'll transfer her to the sanatorium right away."
It was like grasping at a straw.
Although Dr. Huang's actions were understandable, he still felt a little guilty. He coughed softly, his face flushed, and asked:
"Do you need our hospital to help you contact a nursing home?"
"No need, I know people here."
A friend of mine from high school later got into Capital Medical University. After graduating with a master's degree, he started working at a top-tier hospital in Shanghai. Later, for some reason, he quit his job at the hospital and went to work at a sanatorium in the suburbs.
With this connection, the transfer procedures went extremely smoothly.
The next afternoon, Lin Momo checked into a beautiful sanatorium in the suburbs.
Shi Guang stayed here for a week, and under his father's pressure, he started working at a subsidiary of the Shi family.
As a newly hired company manager, he needs to quickly understand the situation, structure, and operation of each department in order to handle the various documents submitted by his subordinates with ease.
The first month is the busiest.
With endless documents to review, signatures to complete, and various dinner parties and business invitations, he often gets home very late and sometimes simply sleeps at the company.
Shi's father was very pleased.
He felt that if his son continued like this, he would definitely surpass his achievements in the future and take the family business to a higher level.
However, Shi's mother couldn't bear to see her son working so hard, and she would often advise him: "You have to eat one bite at a time. How can you become fat in one bite? How can your body take it if you work like this day and night?"
"You mustn't do that again!"
He promised on the surface, but in reality, he still did things his own way.
Shi's mother could only sigh helplessly, and couldn't help but curse angrily, "It's all that vixen's fault! Of all people to mess with, why did you have to mess with my son? Even in death, she can't let my son rest in peace, sob sob sob."
As she continued cursing, she started crying sadly.
Time keeps him busy every day, as if only in this way can he avoid thinking about the things that cause him heartache so much that he can't breathe.
During the days and nights he spent caring for Lin Momo in the hospital, he thought about it more than once—
Is Lin Momo really not coming back this time?
If she hadn't come back to Haishi with him, if he hadn't tried to stop her when she was leaving that day, if he hadn't taken her out for Western food that day...
Is she still alive and well now?
If he misses her, he can call, text, or video chat with her. Although they are thousands of miles apart, he can still see her every smile and gesture...
Instead of what we see now, where we can only watch her lying there, her face as white as paper, lifeless.
The thought of these things felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart with a knife, causing him unbearable pain.
Shi Guang was filled with guilt, feeling that it was all his fault and that he had hurt the girl he loved.
During the week, he was extremely busy in the city.
On weekends, he would always set aside a day to drive two and a half hours to the suburbs to visit Lin Momo and ask the doctors and nurses in detail about her various physical functions and whether there were any signs of improvement.
Unfortunately, each answer he received left him extremely disappointed.
He could only numb himself with busy work, telling himself that if Lin Momo could create one miracle, she could definitely create a second one.
Give her some time.
On a scorching hot afternoon.
As Shi Guang drove back to the city, he passed a small reservoir and heard children shouting for help from afar: "Someone has fallen into the water! Someone has fallen into the water! Help!"
It was the height of summer, and the weather was hot and humid.
Several boys from a nearby village came to play in the reservoir.
As a result, one of the children became exhausted in the water and sank. Another child rushed to rescue him but ended up getting his hands and feet tied by the struggling child.
So, the two of them sank down together.
The other children were too scared to go over, so they all climbed ashore and frantically searched for adults to rescue their friends.
Hearing the children's cries for help, Shi Guang immediately stopped his car and came over to ask what was wrong: "Who fell into the water? Where is he? Take me there quickly!"
"Uncle, they've both drowned! Please save them!"
The children, as if they had seen a savior, immediately surrounded him.
Following the panicked children to where their friend had fallen into the water, they found that there was no movement on the surface. Before Shi Guang could even take off his clothes, he plunged into the water.
It's unclear whether the children remembered the wrong spot where they fell into the water, or whether the child who fell into the water was no longer in the original place.
He couldn't find the person.
After surfacing for a breath, Shiguang submerged again, moved to a different spot, and finally saw the two children not far away.
He swam over with all his might, picked up one child and floated to the surface, bringing the child ashore, then quickly swam to rescue another.
Unfortunately, when he lifted the child up, he discovered that one of the child's feet was tangled in the seaweed.
Although the water plants were soft, they were quite resilient. It took some effort for Shi Guang to finally break the water plants off the child's feet. His face was already red from lack of oxygen, and his cheeks were bulging out.
He swam to shore with his last ounce of strength, and finally managed to pull the child ashore, but he himself was too weak to climb back up...
"Uncle, come up here quickly!"
"Come on up, uncle, let me help you!"
The children on the shore cried and begged him to come up, but the person in the water could no longer hear them.
In the moment before Shi Guang lost consciousness, he seemed to see a halo of light enveloping his body, and he subconsciously thought of the jade pendant he wore on his chest.
Passersby heard the commotion and rushed to the rescue, calling for emergency medical assistance as they ran towards the scene.
When Shi Guang was pulled ashore, he was lifeless, and all kinds of emergency treatments seemed to be ineffective. Just then, an ambulance arrived and took the three people who had fallen into the water to the hospital.
The two children have gradually regained consciousness thanks to the tireless efforts of the rescuers who arrived later, and they will be taken to the hospital for further treatment.
When Shi's parents arrived at the hospital, Shi had already fallen into a coma due to water entering his lungs.
The couple asked the doctor when their son would wake up.
The reply they received was: "The patient's lung aspiration may be quite serious, and he may not wake up. You, the family, should be prepared!"
Upon hearing this devastating news, Shi's mother's body went limp, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Shi's father also trembled, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
