If it had not been for Gu Ruochu, she and Ning Zongxuan would not have had to stay in Zhang Xuan’s ward all day. Their relationship would not have become as tenuous as it is now.
After some thought, she dialed another number.
“…”
The operation in country M was about to begin. When she saw the lively child lying on the hospital bed in the morning, her heart began to ache.
“Aunt, I’ll be fine. ”
Cheng Xi seemed to be very calm. Instead, he comforted Gu Ruochu, “when I’m better, I’ll still be playing with aunt’s model airplane. ”
He did not seem to know that this surgery could possibly decide his life’s fate.
In the end, this child’s transformation had something to do with her.
The doctor said that the success rate of this surgery was only 40% , not even half.
His heart gradually sank.
“Mm, you’ll be fine. Aunt will play with you. ” Gu Ruochu held his little hand and watched as the doctors came over to push the patient to the operating table.
Cheng Xi’s hand slipped from her hand and was pushed away by the doctor.
Huo Nanchen held her shoulder and followed her to the hospital’s long corridor to sit down. She leaned against his shoulder.
Time ticked by. When the light on the operating table was extinguished, the doctor in a dark green sterile gown came out and spoke in English.
When the doctor said that the operation had failed, Gu Ruochu could not hear anything else. Her ears buzzed
The failure of the operation meant that Cheng Xi’s hand was completely untreatable.
Gu Ruochu saw that Huo Nanchen’s expression was slowly changing. His expression was as dark as the clouds from last night. Even Gu Ruochu’s heart sank.
“I’ll go talk to the doctor first. You should go to Cheng Xi’s room to see him. ”
Huo Nanchen instructed before he turned around and left with the doctor.
“Young Madam. ”
“Let’s go see Cheng Xi first. ” Gu Ruochu followed the nurse to Cheng Xi’s room with a heavy heart. The anesthetic had not completely worn off, so she was still in a deep sleep.
She stood by the side and looked at the child’s face. Her heart was filled with pity.
Up until now, Ning Tangxi had no idea that Cheng Xi’s surgery had failed.
He might not know it yet, but when he grows up, he might hold a grudge.
This was not how his life was supposed to be.
She and Huo Nanchen had been staying at the hotel for the past few days, but he always went out early in the morning and returned to the hotel late at night. Sometimes, he did not even return overnight. He would only text or call her to inform her.
Sometimes, when she woke up in the middle of the night, ruo Chu had the illusion that she had been alone the whole time. She had always been able to sense the thoughts of the people around her more than anyone else. Huo Nanchen seemed to have returned to that cold and gloomy man, unable to get any closer.
Ruo Chu would go to see the children during the day, but she did not see Huo Nanchen much.
Perhaps she knew what had happened, or perhaps she did not.
Cheng Xi did not seem to know what it was like to lose a hand. He kept pestering her to tell stories and play with his model airplanes, which made her feel a little sad.
Just like that, she could spend a day.
Ruo Chu felt that perhaps Cheng Xi’s incident had given him too much of a blow. He needed to be alone and calm.
However, whenever she thought of the complicated and gradually cold gaze he gave her, she would always feel a sense of loss.
It was as if those sweet and lingering memories were just a dream that she had had. In fact, nothing had ever happened and nothing had changed.
“Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi… ”
Gu Ruochu sat beside Cheng Xi’s bed and told him a story. Ning Tangxi’s heart-wrenching voice came from outside the door and the door was slammed open.
“MOMMY! ”
