Chapter 221
After the accident, Shu Tian took a long leave of absence, and she had another plan for future work. Although there was only one floor's distance from Li Han, they did not meet again. It was not until the day Shu Changlei was pushed into the operating room that the man came.
The tall figure was against the light at the end of the corridor, extremely oppressing. He glanced at Shu Tian and Ye Lihua sitting on the bench. Instead of walking over immediately, he communicated with the medical staff beside him.
"The patient was in a good situation before entering the operating room. There should be no problem. The chief doctor is also the best. Mr. Li, you can relax." The charge nurse relieved him knowing that this man had an extraordinary status, Director Ling's best friend, so she did not dare to neglect him.
Li Han was relieved to hear this, but he couldn't help but look at the woman on the side.
It had been nearly half a month since they had quarreled last time. He knew that she didn't want to see him. If the problem between him and Jiang Chujing couldn't be solved for a day, she wouldn't let it go. And he was not satisfied with her totally. No matter how angry she was, she should not push Jiang Chujing down. This was a matter of principle not only the matter of emotion.
So he didn't come to see her and let them both calm down, but he secretly inquired a lot about her. Ling Junze said that he was troubling himself, but he could only smile bitterly without saying anything. She hunched over looking down at the ground, her palm-sized face getting sharper. She was so thin that her cheek was also skinny. He was no longer angry, but heartbroken.
That sour feeling burned in his heart as if his whole body and limbs seem to be soaked in water.
After thinking for a moment, he was unable to fight against his inner thoughts and walked towards her.
Shu Tian knew that he was coming over, but she didn't look up at him. She didn't want to see him at all. Instead, Ye Lihua reacted and sat up straight first, looking at the extraordinary man standing in front of her without servile nor arrogant.
"Mr. Li." Although Ye Lihua called out coldly with a moderate voice, her words very resounding.
Li Han lowered his eyelids slightly, and his eyelashes cast a black shadow. He said with difficulty, "Uncle is in a stable condition. Don't worry. I think it will be done in a while."
Ye Lihua breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but her complexion was still cold. Her daughter and her husband had suffered so much, so she could not be as kind to him as before.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li." Ye Lihua thanked him and then said, "Everyone goes through life and death. We know what's going on with him. Mr. Li, you don't need not worry."
She treated Li Han as a stranger in one sentence. How could Li Han not understand?
However, he was not in a hurry to refute but turned to Shu Tian, who had not spoken in the same position since he had been here.
With her hands on her laps clenching tightly, obviously, she was refrained from being angry with him.
Li Han tried to call her name several times, but his words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't say them out. After several times, he finally gave up.
Well, the closer he was, the more she hated him. It's better to do something after Shu Changlei's recovery.
The man put his hands into his pockets and clenched them tightly in secret. The uneasiness in his heart was carefully hidden by him. He looked up and looked indifferent again. "The hospital is not like home. You can tell me without burden if you need anything."
Ye Lihua was astonished. If nothing had happened, she would have thought that Li Han was a good man for marriage, but now...
She smiled politely and distantly. "We appreciate your kindness. But we can't afford it as the common people."
Li Han was not angry either. He said "This is what I should do" before leaving.
When the tall figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Ye Lihua breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was an elder person, she was really nervous and depressed in front of Li Han.
She turned to Shu Tian. Before she spoke, she saw the tears in Shu Tian's eyes. She couldn't say anything suddenly just holding her hand and her eyes turned red too. She sighed, "What a sin..."
[...]
The operation lasted more than four hours. When Shu Changlei was wheeled out, Shu Tian was almost stiff. After the red light on the wall off, she rushed to the door. When she saw the pale face of Shu Changlei, she asked nervously, "Director Zhang, how is my father?"
"The operation was very successful, and the patient was fine. He will regain consciousness tonight or tomorrow morning. The nurse will inform you of the following notice." After more than four hours of surgery, the doctor was also very tired, but he still patiently comforted Shu Tian.
Only then was Shu Tian relaxed and thanked him repeatedly. After sending the doctor away, she looked at Shu Changlei, who was lying in the VIP ward. She finally relaxed after more than half a month.
She didn't know if it was because she was too emotional. She suddenly felt dizzy and fell back unsteadily. At this moment, she was supported by a pair of hands behind her at that moment.
It was Tian Sangsang when she turned around.
"Are you okay?" The woman's mild and fair face came into her eyes. She didn't know if it was because she was a doctor, her voice was also gentle and moving.
Shu Tian hid the hope in her eyes and quickly stood up. "It's okay. Thank you."
Tian Sangsang saw her disappointment at that moment and knew what she was looking forward to something. In fact, women were the same. Their words were cold with reluctant but they still need that person in an accident.
"You don't look well. Have you been too tired to look after your father lately?"
Shu Tian said, shaking her head, "It's okay."
She was upset totally and could not feel tired. For her, the more tired she was, the better it was. In this way, she would not be bothered by other emotions.
Shu Changlei's illness had become a thorn in her heart. The problems that she had ignored in the past came back to her and enlightened her that as long as Jiang Chujing was with Li Han. If so, they would not have any peaceful days.
Worse still, the man chose to believe her.
Thinking of this, Shu Tian sneered and curled her lips.
Tian Sangsang glanced into the ward and then at the woman in front of her. She remembered that she was envious of Li Han's romantic confession not long ago. She did not expect that everything would change. She could not interfere in others' affairs, so she only said with concern "I'll give you a nutrient injection. I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."
"It's okay. You don't have to do so. I can hold on." Shu Tian smiled at her, but the smile was especially weak. "I'm relieved after my father's surgery."
Seeing that she insisted, Tian Sangsang couldn't force her anymore. After a small talk, she let her into the ward.
Looking at Shu Tian's overburdened back, shouldering too much for her skinny figure, as a woman, she was sympathetic to her, and she did not know Li Han's thoughts. They loved each other, but they were always separated because of accidents. From a bystander's point of view, she was also suffering.
Tian Sangsang shook her head helplessly. When she turned around and was about to leave, she almost bumped into a white "wall."
Startled, she retreated in a low voice and almost bumped into the door of the ward behind her. She was grabbed by the man and heard a gentle voice from above. "Be careful."
