Chapter 345: You Better Behave (6)
"Signing? Sign what..." Qiao Mo was somewhat dazed, her mind was completely blank."Because there are risks involved in the surgery, like... like..." Xie Qinghuan hesitated, finding it hard to speak despite her usual straightforwardness.
Tears welled up again in Qiao Mo’s eyes as she sobbed, "Qinghuan..."
Xie Qinghuan glanced towards the direction of the operating room, gritted her teeth, and said solemnly, "Like amputations or something similar."
Actually, she knew that signing was just a formality.
If it was a life-threatening situation, anyone would choose amputation if it meant saving their life.
But if no family member signed, the hospital often worried that the patient’s family wouldn’t be able to accept it and would hold the hospital responsible, so some hospitals ask the family to sign in advance.
"Am... amputation..." Qiao Mo’s eyes moistened, and her vision darkened.
"Yes." Xie Qinghuan hesitated too, knowing logically it wasn’t her place to sign.
But Jiang Jinghao had only had his mother relying on him since he was young, and now even after recognizing his roots, his father had passed away.
As for other relatives, they probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to save him, let alone support him.
"Am... amputation where?" Qiao Mo sobbed out loud, unable to accept it.
"It’s not clear yet, it could be the arms or legs..."
"No! Without his hands, how would he type code, how would he write software? Without his legs... how would he walk..." Qiao Mo’s tears flowed like rain, shaking her head constantly.
No... no...
How can he be amputated?
How can he be amputated...
If he gets amputated, what will he do in the future? What will he do for the rest of his life...
"Xiao Mo, I know it’s hard to accept, but... but maybe he could lose his life." Xie Qinghuan held the signing pen, the tip trembling slightly on the paper.
She thought she should probably ask Mrs. Jiang for her opinion, but she figured anyone might sign in such situations.
Yet when this responsibility fell on her, it felt so heavy.
"Alright... as long as... his life can be saved, that’s good."
Qiao Mo softly spoke, her small face pale without a trace of blood, with faintly greenish veins showing.
"Okay, when are you arriving? After all... after all... he could..." Xie Qinghuan put down the pen, speaking softly, still reluctant to say the outcome.
Qiao Mo raised her eyes to look at the tightly closed door, her throat felt blocked.
She couldn’t get out... Qinghuan... what would I do?
What would you tell me to do?
"Xiao Mo?" Xie Qinghuan spoke again, worried.
"Oh, I... I..."
Xie Qinghuan seemed to notice something off, paused and asked, "Did... Fu Nancheng find out?"
Qiao Mo was silent and did not respond.
Xie Qinghuan was also quite angry, "That damn bastard! This really angers me!"
"Qinghuan..."
"Yeah?"
"I’ll try my best to get there. If... if... he really... really can’t make it, could you tell Jing Hao something for me?"
"Alright, tell me."
Qiao Mo’s eyes glistened with tears, she lowered her gaze, tears slipped past her nose and onto her lips, salty and bitter, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Just tell him... tell him that in this lifetime... I’ve never regretted meeting him... but... but it’s my fault, let him find a good girl in the next life, don’t... don’t meet me again..."
Qiao Mo spoke with a light smile, her entire small face soaked, yet whenever she lowered her eyes, she would think of the man who wore a white shirt, always liked to stand under a big tree waiting for her, smiling warm and clean.
