Su Shengjing’s eyes were still closed, and he did not react.
“Daddy, you haven’t seen me get into university yet. You haven’t helped me choose a boyfriend. You haven’t seen me get married and have a baby… Don’t you want to see all that? Do you want to leave Little Jiu and Mommy like this?” Su Jiu choked.
Seeing Su Jiu like this, Rong Si felt as if something was stuck in his heart. He couldn’t help but grab her hand tightly as if he wanted to share his strength with her.
Su Jiu bit her lip hard and kept praying for her father.
It was as if another century had passed. Perhaps, it was because the heavens had heard her prayers, Su Shengjing’s desire to live was too strong, but his electrocardiogram slowly returned to its normal frequency!
The doctor and the nurse were also nervous and did their best to resuscitate him. When they saw that he was breathing normally again, they said excitedly, “He’s alive! He’s alive!”
Hearing this, Su Jiu felt a lump in her throat. She hurriedly covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.
Did Daddy… pull through?
After a while, the doctor and the nurse came out of the ward, exhausted. Su Jiu immediately asked them, “How’s my father?”
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “The patient has a strong will. His desire to live is strong. Otherwise, I’m afraid he would have just… well. Now that his heartbeat has returned, if nothing else happens, he should be out of danger.”
Daddy… Daddy’s out of danger?’
Now, Su Jiu finally felt more at ease.
Thank God Daddy didn’t leave me!
The doctors and nurses did not relax. They kept an eye on Su Shengjing’s condition. When dawn broke, they realized that his vital signs had stabilized. Only then did they confirm that he had really survived.
However, Su Shengjing had lost too much blood, and he was still quite weak. He would have to spend a long time recuperating.
Su Jiu was only relieved after confirming that her father had returned from the gates of hell. She then hugged Rong Si, cried, and smiled. “Daddy is fine. He’s fine!”
Rong Si relaxed as well and hugged her back. “Yes. He won’t leave you behind.”
Song Xinyan, Han Siye, and the others also heaved huge sighs of relief. This was perhaps the happiest news they had heard in the past few days. Uncle Su had survived!
Su Shengjing woke up three days later and was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. Only then was Su Jiu able to go in to see him.
When she entered the ward, Su Shengjing was lying on the hospital bed. He was wearing a hospital gown and had an IV drip attached to him. His face was still pale, and he looked haggard and thin. Su Jiu’s heart ached, and her eyes turned red.
Before she could speak, Su Shengjing smiled at her. “Baby…”
His whole body ached, and he didn’t have the strength. A smile like that had taken a lot out of him.
Tears streamed down Su Jiu’s face as she hurried to the bed and took his hand. “Daddy, don’t say anything. Just rest.”
Looking at her tears, Su Shengjing smiled again and said weakly, “Why are you crying? Daddy isn’t dead yet.”
“Daddy can’t die. If Daddy dies, Little Jiu won’t live either!” Su Jiu sobbed. She reached out to wipe her tears, but she couldn’t stop.
These past few days had really been the hardest she had ever endured.
