C93 (1/2)
I took my room card to the staff at the nurses station, who told me that it was an elevator card for a special VIP ward, and directed me to the elevator.
After getting on the elevator, I walked towards Bo Lengqing's room according to the ward number on the card. Then, I saw a doctor coming out of his room.
I hastily went over and asked, ”Doctor, may I ask how is the condition of the patients in this ward?”
The doctor looked me up and down. ”Are you his?”
”I …” I thought about it. I can't say I'm his ex-wife, can I?
”He is the father of my child.”
”You don't have to worry too much. It's just a permanent perforation of the stomach caused by alcoholism. It's not a big deal now. If you continue to indulge him like this, there will be a day when his stomach can't take it anymore. You are his family, so just try to persuade him.” said the doctor, and went on.
Chronic alcoholism
In my memory, he wasn't a person who liked to use alcohol to get rid of his worries. In fact, he felt that using alcohol to numb himself to escape from reality was a very cowardly action. Since when did he become a cowardly person?
How could I not know that he was doing it for me? However, I really didn't know how to deal with my relationship with him.
I was just trying to break it, ah …
”Lordmaster, it should be over here. Follow me.” As my hand rested on the knob of the ward door, I heard a familiar voice.
I quickly retracted my hands and ran to a corner nearby. After hearing the sound of the ward door opening and closing, I slowly walked back to where I came from.
Through the observation window at the door of the ward, I saw Old Master Bo and Lin Ran come to see him.
This is what a family should look like, and my existence is too sudden …
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly heard Lin Ran's voice coming from the sickroom.
”Grandfather, look, he can't even forget that woman. No matter how much effort I put in, in his heart, there's only that woman. Even when he has already reached this stage, in his dreams, he still calls out that woman's name …” ”It's been five years, a whole five years. Even if he forgets everything and thinks that he is in love with me, I still can't get his heart …”
Lin Ran said while crying softly. Old Man Bo patted her shoulder: ”Don't cry, didn't that woman already die? A dead man is nothing to be afraid of. ”
”That's not it …” That woman, that woman … ”He's back again!”
”What?!” The old man was shocked, ”Back then, she was already …”
”Something must have gone wrong at some point! That woman was clearly still alive and well! Grandfather, seeing Leng Qing reminisce the past day by day, it's fine if that woman dies, but that woman is still alive, there will come a day when he will remember everything, and then return to that woman's side without hesitation … Grandfather, what should I do, what should I do?! ”
As I stood at the door of the ward, I remembered what Ling Chen had told me.
It's no wonder that when Bo Lengqing woke up five years ago, he was so cold and detached towards me. It could be possible that in order to break up the control that we had, Old Master Bo had invented a story regarding Lin Ran and Bo Lengqing's love, which would be deeply engraved in everyone's heart, as a way to confuse him.
Even though Bo Lengqing had some suspicions in his heart, facing so many people who shared the same words, he had no choice but to believe them …
Why? Why? Where in the world did I not make old man Bo hate me so much that he did not hesitate to spend so much experience just to completely drive me away from him?
”Xiao Ran, you don't need to be anxious. You better not mess around and try to hide. You should find a way to quickly have your own flesh and blood with him. Out of responsibility, he won't leave you behind.”
”Can this really work?” Lin Ran looked at the old man doubtfully.
”I have to do it, I have to do it!”
Listening to their conversation, I suddenly felt my heart ache for the Bo Lengqing who was lying on the sickbed and not knowing anything about them. While he was still unconscious, the person he was closest to was actually thinking about how to plot against him.
I gripped the card firmly in my hand and turned to leave the hospital.
After leaving, the first thing I did was to call Ye Xing and ask him to help me investigate the background of the neighboring families.
”Sis, why do you need me to investigate this for you?”
”I want to know, find out everything you can find out for me.”
”Alright.”
