courage
When we arrived at the hospital, Dong Qun had not yet come out of the emergency room.
A group of people were standing at the door of the emergency room. It seemed as if there were dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads, making it hard to breathe.
Wang Huan had stopped crying, but her eyes were still red. She held Chen Jiahuan's hands tightly with both hands, and stared at the door of the emergency room.
At this time, she was still dignified and elegant, her hair was not messy, but she was wearing very simple sportswear.
Dong Qun suddenly fainted while exercising with Wang Huan in the morning.
Dongyou knew her parents always had a habit of exercising early in the morning, and she never objected, rather supporting them. Sometimes they'd even bring their grandparents along for a jog around the neighborhood. Dongyou used to join them, and even Chen Qi'an, when he was younger, would participate. But when Dongyou stopped, he stopped going, too.
Fortunately, they didn't bring their grandparents with them today, otherwise they would be worried sick. Now Wang Huan lied to them and said that Dong Qun and she had sudden work.
After all, grandparents are old and can't stand the shock. Wang Huan wanted to wait until the results of Dong Qun came out before telling them.
Dong You walked to Wang Huan without saying a word, taking over Chen Jiahuan's position, and gently stroked Wang Huan's back with his hand, even though he had tears in the corners of his eyes.
Everyone was silent and didn't dare to speak.
The clock struck one and the door to the emergency room finally opened. Wang Huan quickly walked up to the doctor, his eyes filled with anxiety. "Doctor, what's going on?"
"The patient is no longer in danger of being sick. He can now be transferred to a regular ward, but caution is still required. Please have a family member come with me to the office so I can explain in detail."
Wang Huan went as a matter of course, and the rest of Dong You and his group followed the nurse to the general ward.
Dongyou felt that the ordinary ward was not convenient enough, so he paid to upgrade to a VIP ward.
After Chen Jiahuan knew that Dong Qun was fine, she left and went back to work. Before leaving, she patted Chen Qian'an on the shoulder and signaled him with her eyes: Work harder.
Chen Qi'an blinked and nodded.
They had rushed over since they got the news, and neither of them had eaten. Dong You guessed her mother hadn't eaten either. So when Chen Qi'an said he was going to buy lunch, she said, "Buy three."
Chen Qi'an: "Okay."
Not long after Chen Qi'an left, Wang Huan returned with a stack of A4 papers in his hand. He seemed calm, and Dong You was delighted, guessing it was good news.
Sure enough, Wang Huan said that his father was fine, he just needed to be careful later, so there was no need to worry.
I can finally let out a breath of relief after spending so much time on winter travel.
Wang Huan sat down beside Dong Qun's bed. He was still asleep. At this moment, he was not as serious as usual, and there were no wrinkles between his brows. At this moment, his face was calm.
Dongyou followed her mother's gaze and looked at her father. She was surprised to find that her father had so many wrinkles. If she looked closely, there were even a few silver strands on his head.
She saw her mother holding her father's hand with her own, with indescribable tenderness in her eyes. She said, "Luckily, nothing happened to your father, otherwise... I don't know what to do..."
Dongyou found it strange. In her memory, her mother had always been a very independent person. Combined with the secrets of wealthy families she had overheard, she should have been able to accept her father's "accident" calmly. Why was it like this now?
It was completely different from what she thought.
Wang Huan shifted his gaze to Dong You's face and said, "Xiao You, I know you've always had issues with your father. I've tried to mediate, but there's been no progress. However, Xiao You, your father is ill now, and the doctor said he shouldn't worry too much or overwork himself. I think you're old enough, so it's time for you to start helping your father out at the company. I'm also planning to merge my company into Dong's, gradually hand over some of the work, and prepare to enjoy my retirement with your father."
Wang Huan's eyes were gentle and nostalgic. Anyone who saw her could tell she was reminiscing about the good old days. "Come to think of it, when your father took over Dong's, it was about the same time as you are now. At that time, no one was optimistic about him. Everyone said your grandfather was unkind and left the mess to a young man like your father. When your father went to your grandfather's house to propose marriage, your grandfather also disagreed, thinking he was too poor. He said he would definitely lead Dong's to a new beginning.
But he was so young back then, no one believed him. I was the one who insisted on marrying him, secretly stealing the household registration booklet from my grandfather's house to get married. Your grandfather was furious. At this point, Wang Huan smiled and continued, "But the marriage was already registered, so your grandfather had no choice but to agree. Who could have imagined that he would actually do it? Many people say I had good judgment, but I know it was just because he was too hardworking and too smart."
Dongyou was listening carefully at the beginning, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Why was it different from the gossip she had overheard before?
Wang Huan continued, "Although he's busy, he still comes home every day, no matter how late it is..."
"Wait... aren't you guys getting married?" Dong You couldn't help but interrupt.
Wang Huan asked curiously, "Who said ours was an arranged marriage? We were in a free love relationship."
"What? No... Then why do they all say it's... a marriage?" Dong You said anxiously, "If not... I wouldn't be with Xiao An...!"
"They don't know the truth, they're just talking nonsense. How could you believe that?" After answering the previous question, Wang Huan realized what Dong You hadn't said. She said, "What do you mean by that? You and Xiao An got married... weren't you in a free love relationship?" She was a little angry. "Do you think our family's conditions and theirs still require a marriage?! Why are you two kids so naughty?!"
“Pah.”
As soon as Wang Huan finished his last word, the door opened.
Dong You looked towards the door, and all the blood in his body froze, and his scalp went numb for a moment.
It’s Chen Qi’an.
He was holding a bag in his hand, and judging by the outline, it contained a lunch box.
"Xiao An..." Dong You spoke hesitantly.
Just as Chen Qi'an was about to speak, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and wanted to hang up, but when he saw the note was Ji Yu, it seemed to be about school leave. Worried that Ji Yu would get into some unsolvable trouble, he glanced apologetically at Dong You and answered the phone.
Before going out to buy food, Chen Qian'an suddenly remembered that he had a class in the afternoon. The class was taught by a professor who was very kind and easy to talk to. However, he did not have the professor's contact information, so he had to ask Ji Yu to help tell the professor.
Calculating the time, it’s almost time for get out of class to end.
"Hello?"
"Qian, are you done with your work? The class teacher wants to see you and asked you to meet her in the office at four o'clock."
"Is it because of the afternoon leave?"
"No, don't worry, she also called several other students from our class."
"I see. I'll talk to her myself later. Thank you."
Chen Qi'an returned to school.
Since the teacher told him to go see her at 4 o'clock, she must be in the office only at that time, and she would be hard to find by then. He had wanted to ask the teacher if he could go see her tomorrow, but the next day was the weekend and the teacher had other plans. Chen Qi'an had no choice but to leave.
At 6:08 pm, Chen Qi'an sent her a message: [Can you go home tonight?]
He waited until twelve o'clock in the evening, but Dongyou still didn't reply to his message. Chen Qian'an thought: Maybe he is too busy.
In fact, Dongyou saw it, but she didn't know how to face it. In the afternoon, her mother and Chen Qi'an's father were no longer seriously injured, so they didn't need to take care of them too much. Before Chen Qi'an left, Dongyou told him to just go home in the evening.
Her courage had completely disappeared the moment Chen Qian'an answered the phone, and it was difficult to gather it again.
She had originally thought of waiting a while to see if the situation allowed before replying, but she didn't expect to chat with her parents until too late, and she fell asleep and forgot to reply.
