MTL - Gentle to the Bone-Chapter 13

Throughout May, Lu Jingce was very busy. He didn't spend much time at home, and he traveled frequently. There were a few nights when Shen Yansheng was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night. When he opened his eyes and saw the empty room, he would suddenly miss Lu Jingce.

She thought about calling Lu Jingce, but when she got the phone in her hand, she hesitated when she saw the string of familiar numbers on the screen.

She didn't know when she became dependent on Lu Jingce, but it was never a good sign.

She had already suffered, and she vowed to die to keep her heart as still as water.

So she put down her phone, got up from the bed, sat at the desk, and used her busy work to endure the long night.

In the middle of May, Lu Jingce still hadn't come back. Shen Yansheng knew his identity, so he never asked about Lu Jingce's personal affairs, nor did he feel that he had the qualifications.

It's just that her father suddenly fell ill, and her mother was hiding it from her. She went home temporarily on Thursday night, saw that there was no one at home, called her mother, and heard her cry on the phone, that she knew that her father had an accident.

She hurried to the hospital and saw her father lying unconscious in the intensive care unit, and her mother crying in the corridor.

Shen Yansheng also wanted to cry, tears welling in her eyes, but in the end she tried her best to hold back the tears.

She didn't know when it started, she realized that her parents were old and the blow of fate fell, and they couldn't bear it anymore. And she is still young, so the responsibility of taking care of her parents should naturally fall on her.

She helped her mother to sit down on the chair outside the corridor and reassured: "I have just asked the doctor, Dad's operation went well, as long as you survive tonight, you will be fine."

Zhou Xiuyun was still crying, choked and said: "Your father has never done anything bad in his life. He suffered a lot to support his family when he was young, and he finally managed to earn a little family business. God will take it back, so why do you torture us like this? ."

Shen Yansheng felt pain in her heart, and her eyes were flushed. She reached out to hug her mother and gently patted her back, trying to keep her voice steady so that her mother could feel at ease.

"It's okay mom, it's okay, dad will be fine, we'll be fine."

She comforted her mother like this, but in fact she was also afraid. She stood outside the intensive care unit all night, through the transparent glass window, watching Dad's frail body lying on the hospital bed, wondering when he would be able to open his eyes again .

Lu Jingce went home from a business trip, and it was already late at night when he got home.

The midnight flight made him dizzy, but he missed Shen Yansheng too much, and he couldn't make it back home tomorrow morning.

Entering the house with a tired body, he didn't expect Shen Yansheng to wait for him. But it doesn't matter, it's good that he can look at her.

But when I went upstairs, I found that the bedroom was empty, the quilt was neatly folded, and obviously it had not been opened.

He raised his hand and pressed the swollen between his brows, went out of the room, and turned to the next bedroom to take a look. But Shen Yansheng in the adjoining bedroom had long been gone, let alone people in the room, not even Shen Yansheng's scent.

Lu Jingce returned to the room and sat on the sofa wearily.

He guessed that Shen Yansheng went home to live, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, trying to refresh himself.

After smoking half a cigarette, she still couldn't help calling Shen Yansheng.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, but he lost the tenderness of Lianxiang Xiyu, so he insisted on calling Shen Yansheng up and saying a few words with him.

But the phone was connected, but there was an uncontrollable cry, a choked "Lu Jingce", which made Lu Jingce's heart aches.

At 3:30 in the morning, Lu Jingce strode into the Central Hospital.

At this point, the emergency hall was still busy, and the strong smell of blood and pungent disinfectant filled the cold corridor.

With a solemn expression on his face, Lu Jingce walked straight to the elevator, reaching out and pressing down on the sixth floor.

It was obvious that only a few seconds later, Lu Jingce was irritated by waiting. When the elevator door finally opened, he stepped out and saw Shen Yansheng sitting in the corridor at a glance.

The corridor of the ward in the early morning was so quiet that there was no sound at all. Shen Yansheng sat on a chair outside the intensive care unit. Because it was so quiet, she seemed to be able to clearly hear the sound of the medical equipment in the ward.

The moment the elevator door opened, she raised her head blankly, and the moment she saw Lu Jingce, she couldn't understand her emotions, and tears fell before her reason.

It seemed that only in front of Lu Jingce could she cry.

Lu Jingce strode towards her, she stood up, as if seeing a harbor in the dark where she could shelter from the wind, sobbing and buried in Lu Jingce's arms.

Lu Jingce wrapped his arms around her, and felt distressed the moment he saw Shen Yansheng's tears, soothed in a low voice, "It's alright, I'm here, I'm here."

At this moment, Shen Yansheng didn't think about her relationship with Lu Jingce, and didn't think about whether this embrace could make her stay permanently. The tears she held back all night finally burst, and they were completely released in Lu Jingce's arms.

Lu Jingce let her cry and let her vent. When her tears finally dried up, he pulled her to the side to sit down and rest, and asked, "What's going on? Don't worry, tell me first."

Shen Yansheng took the tissue that Lu Jingce handed over, wiped away the tears on his face before choked up, "I never knew that my father was working on the construction site. He said before that he contacted his former friends and wanted to start a small business again. But the current business is not good, and my father has just had an accident, and no one wants to cooperate with him. My mother's illness requires long-term medication, and my father doesn't want me to work too hard, so he goes out to find something to do. "

"He also climbed up from the bottom when he was young, and he can do things on the construction site, but now that he is older, he accidentally fell from the second floor while doing things."

Having said that, Shen Yansheng buried his head, his eyes buried in his arms, and tears poured out uncontrollably.

Lu Jingce felt distressed, took the man into his arms, and said softly, "Don't cry first, I'll see your dad's attending doctor in a while. Since the doctor said the operation went well, there shouldn't be too many problems. I'll follow up on treatment. Come and arrange, if this hospital is not good, we will transfer to another hospital, no matter what, there will always be a way."

Shen Yansheng also felt that she cried too much tonight, she sat up straight from Lu Jingce's arms, raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and tried to calm down.

In fact, after crying for a while, she has been much better. When her mother was here just now, she didn't dare to shed a single tear in front of her mother, she held it back until she finally saw Lu Jingce and finally burst into tears.

After crying, it was considered that she had vented. She calmed down slowly at this moment and said, "The doctor said that if Dad can wake up during the day tomorrow, it will be no big problem."

Seeing that she was crying so badly, Lu Jingce reached out and squeezed her chin, deliberately teasing her, "Then you still cry."

He got up and walked to the vending machine opposite, bought two cans of coffee, walked back to his seat, opened one and handed it to Shen Yansheng.

Shen Yansheng took it, but did not drink, staring at the ground in a daze.

Lu Jingce had just returned from a business trip and was somewhat tired. If he wasn't in the hospital, he would have had to smoke two cigarettes to refresh himself. He was not good at smoking at the moment, so he had to drink a can of coffee to refresh himself.

After drinking three or two sips, he stretched out his hand to straighten Shen Yansheng's cheek and face him. Shen Yansheng looked at him blankly, her eyes were still red, and there were still a few teardrops on her face, Lu Jingce reached out to wipe her tears, and said, "Stop crying, I'll go to the doctor now, rest for a while, call me if something happens. Telephone."

Shen Yansheng looked at him, nodded lightly, Lu Jingce lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her face, then got up and walked straight towards the elevator.

Shen Haihua was on the ground on the back of his head when he had the accident. Although he supported it with his arms a little bit, he was still in critical condition when he was sent to the hospital.

Lu Jingce talked to the doctor, and then called to arrange a better medical team to deal with the follow-up treatment.

On the third day, Shen Haihua's condition was completely stabilized and he was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward.

The day my father actually woke up was already Sunday night.

At that time, Shen Yansheng had just let her mother go to rest, and she stayed by the hospital bed to take care of her father. The moment she saw her father open her eyes, she almost suspected that she had read it wrong, and hurriedly rushed over, "Dad."

Shen Haihua still had a thick gauze wrapped around his head, and when he saw his daughter, there was still a blank look in his eyes.

Shen Yansheng was frightened by her father's dazed look, and tears almost fell. She clenched her father's hand and asked tremblingly, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you still recognize me?"

The doctor said that Dad hurt his head when he fell, and he might not remember who he was when he woke up.

Seeing her father's look, she suddenly became sad and almost burst into tears.

However, Shen Haihua's eyes gradually became clear. Seeing her daughter who was crying faintly beside the bed, she twitched her lips and smiled, "Silly girl, how could I not know my daughter who I raised so hard."

Shen Yansheng burst into tears at that moment. It was the fear of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and it was the great relief that finally fell from the huge stone in his heart.

She excitedly went to the next door to wake her mother, and then ran to the doctor to examine her father.

Now the doctor who will give my father follow-up treatment was arranged by Lu Jingce privately, and the entire medical team is an authority in the industry, just to let Shen Haihua recover and be discharged from the hospital early, so that Shen Yansheng can feel at ease.

Lu Jingce hasn't shown up since he came to the hospital that night, but arranged for Zhao Cheng to keep in touch with the medical team. He is busy with work and socializing every day. He listens to Zhao Cheng's report on Shen Haihua's situation every day.

Shen Yansheng stayed in the hospital until the end of May. The day the doctor told her father that she could be discharged from the hospital, she only felt that the nerve that had been tense for half a month was finally relaxed.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Lu Jingce originally wanted to send Zhao Cheng over to help, but Shen Yansheng did not agree, for fear that her parents would ask her and she would not know how to explain it.

Lu Jingce didn't say much, turned around and hired an aunt for her.

When Auntie came, it was just in the morning, and Shen Yansheng was in the ward packing up with her mother to go home.

There was a knock at the door, she turned her head and saw an aunt with a kind smile standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, but before she could ask, the other party had already spoken, with a charitable smile on her face, "Miss Shen, I'm here to do things."

Shen Yansheng was stunned for a few seconds before reacting immediately. She didn't ask anyone to help, so needless to say, Lu Jingce must have asked for it.

She was afraid of showing her stuff in front of her parents, so she pretended to be calm, got up with a smile, and said, "Come in first."

She handed the things in her hand to the other party and said, "please help me pack up the daily necessities, we will go home in a while."

"Hey." The other party responded with a very kind attitude and quick hands and feet. He quickly tidied up and went to help Zhou Xiuyun, "Madam, let me come."

Shen Yansheng went outside to make a phone call. Lu Jingce was in the office at the time. The weather in early June had already started to get a little hot, and the air conditioner was running in the office. Lu Jingce was wearing a white shirt, and he had loosened two of his collar buttons. Leaning back in the chair lazily, hearing Shen Yansheng's voice on the phone, the corners of his lips inadvertently twitched into a smile, and said, "What does the aunt I hired for my father-in-law and mother-in-law have anything to do with you."

"Lu Jingce—" Shen Yansheng heard Lu Jingce calling her parents, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and her ears were inexplicably hot. She didn't know why her heartbeat was a little faster, and she lowered her voice and complained, "Don't make fun of me, okay?"

Lu Jingce laughed for a while, then finally returned to his seriousness and said, "Okay, I won't tease you. But this aunt must be invited. Your father has just been discharged from the hospital, and your mother is not in good health. You usually have to go to work again. Personal care, how do you plan to let them live?"

Standing in front of the window in the hospital corridor, Shen Yansheng choked a little unconsciously. She knew that what Lu Jingce said was right. She usually had to go to work, so it was impossible to take care of her parents at home all the time. It was a wise choice to hire an aunt.

Lu Jingce was more thoughtful than her.

She didn't speak for a while, but Lu Jingce seemed to feel that she was crying and asked, "Crying?"

"You're crying." But he couldn't hide his cry.

Lu Jingce smiled and said, "Okay, be obedient, don't cry. When I'm done with these few days, I'll take you out to relax."

Shen Yansheng's voice was muffled, and after a long while, she made a soft "um".

Lu Jingce warned her a few more words, and he didn't hang up until someone called him for a meeting.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng stood at the window for a while.

She stared at Lu Jingce's phone number on the screen. For some reason, she suddenly missed him.
