Chapter 551: Why Wasn't It Me
The surgery lasted until nearly 11 pm.
As soon as the doctor came out of the operating room, the group waiting in the hallway swarmed around him.
"Doctor, how is it? How did it go?"
The crowd was in an uproar, everyone talking at once.
The expert surgeon in charge of the operation frowned, knowing that the patient inside had an important background. He forcefully suppressed the urge to lose his temper.
"The surgery went smoothly. However..."
"However what?" Everyone's hearts instantly tightened.
"However, the patient's car was traveling at high speed when it crashed. Even with the protection of the airbag, the brain still suffered a severe impact. As for whether he can wake up..."
The expert shook his head.
"That will depend on his own fate."
Boom.
This news was like a thunderbolt dropped in the hallway.
It caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
Su Ruochu, standing at the back, swayed and fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Song Linlin was quick-witted and caught her.
"What do you mean?"
Guo Shuai rushed forward excitedly, grabbing the doctor's collar.
"I'm asking you, what do you mean?"
Wu Di also shouted, "What kind of doctors are you anyway? If we had known you were a bunch of quacks, we should have transferred my brother to another hospital."
The group of doctors were angered by these words, but didn't dare to lose their temper. They could only explain:
"The surgery was successful, but the rest depends on his own will to survive. In this aspect... we as doctors can't help."
Seeing that Guo Shuai was about to argue more, Ding Dian suddenly stepped forward, forcefully stopping the two, then said to the group of experts:
"Thank you for your hard work."
The experts nodded and quickly left with their team.
In an instant.
The hallway seemed to fall into dead silence.
At this time, those standing in the hallway were basically all closely connected to Chen Fan.
His girlfriend Su Ruochu, Ma Xiaoshuai, Guo Shuai, Wu Di, and other old classmates, and the remaining were Ding Dian, Guo Wendong, and Liang Shichu, the heads of the three companies.
Yan Qing and others had stayed for about half an hour, helped make phone calls to contact experts, and then said goodbye and left.
"She's awake, she's awake..."
Su Ruochu finally came to, her pale face completely bloodless.
She stared blankly at the ceiling of the hallway, then suddenly burst into tears.
Song Linlin quickly tried to comfort her: "Ruochu, don't panic first. If it really doesn't work, we can transfer Chen Fan to another hospital. We can go to a big hospital, go to Beijing..."
Ma Xiaoshuai also nodded vigorously beside her.
"That's right. The doctors at this small hospital aren't skilled enough. Let's arrange for Old Chen's transfer tomorrow and send him to Beijing. They will definitely be able to cure him."
"Ruochu, do you want to go rest for a while, eat something?"
But Su Ruochu shook her head woodenly.
"I want to stay with Chen Fan. I'm not going anywhere."
Seeing this scene, the classmates could only sigh, at a loss for what to do.
"Go get her something to eat," Guo Shuai instructed his girlfriend. Miaomiao nodded and left the hospital.
Ding Dian's expression was equally complex.
She was grief-stricken and heartbroken, but at the same time, she had to tell herself to hold on, to be strong.
As someone Chen Fan trusted, she absolutely could not fall apart at a time like this.
She knew that the next few days would be the most difficult.
Once the news of Chen Fan's coma spread, both the club and Feifan Technology would undoubtedly suffer a huge impact.
People's hearts would be in turmoil, management would fall into chaos...
What she needed to do was to stabilize morale with Liang Shichu and Guo Wendong, and look after the company for Chen Fan.
She glanced at Su Ruochu, who was already overwhelmed with grief and had completely lost her pillar of support.
So Ding Dian stepped forward.
First, she arranged for all the company executives in the hallway to go home, saying that any issues could be discussed tomorrow.
Then she exchanged phone numbers with Guo Wendong and Liang Shichu, making a mutual agreement that if there were any changes in the company, the three of them would keep each other informed.
Next, Ding Dian privately gave Feng Pojun a task, asking him to investigate the deceased driver.
Feng Pojun understood and immediately turned and disappeared.
Fifteen minutes later, only Su Ruochu and Ma Xiaoshuai's group of classmates were left in the hallway.
Ding Dian walked over to them.
"You'd better not all stay here. Leave two people to keep watch, and you can take turns later."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, "Thank you, we'll discuss it in a bit."
Ding Dian looked at Su Ruochu again.
"Miss Su, if you need any help, you can contact me anytime."
Su Ruochu sat blankly in the chair, with no reaction.
Ding Dian sighed and turned to leave.
At this moment, Guo Shuai suddenly spoke up: "My girlfriend and I will stay tonight to keep sister-in-law company. You guys go back first."
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't argue with him.
"My girlfriend and I will come to relieve you tomorrow morning."
Wu Di looked a bit troubled: "Should I take a few days off?"
"Forget it. Your job isn't easy to take time off from. The four of us here will be enough."
"Let's go. There's no need for everyone to waste time here. There's still a lot to do in the coming days."
...
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoshuai and Song Linlin arrived at the hospital, specially bringing breakfast.
But as soon as they entered the ward, they saw Su Ruochu sitting by the bed, one hand holding Chen Fan's, motionless.
Miaomiao said in a low voice, "She's been like this all night, not eating or drinking."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. You two go back and rest first. We'll keep watch here now."
Before leaving, Guo Shuai looked at Su Ruochu.
"Sister-in-law, you should eat something at least."
"From what I know of Brother Fan, he definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."
"You need energy from food to take better care of him."
Su Ruochu didn't turn around, didn't even move her body. Her gaze was fixed only on Chen Fan lying in the bed.
Guo Shuai sighed and nodded to Ma Xiaoshuai.
"We'll head out then. Contact us anytime if anything happens."
"We'll come to relieve you at 6 pm."
After seeing Guo Shuai off, Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Song Linlin. Song Linlin hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bedside and sat down next to Su Ruochu.
"Ruochu, you can't go on like this. You need to eat something."
"If Chen Fan suddenly wakes up and you've exhausted yourself, how sad would he be?"
Su Ruochu's eyes finally moved.
Her eyelashes blinked, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.
"I... can't eat..."
"Chen Fan was injured trying to save me... That car was coming towards me, Chen Fan got hurt because he was trying to save me..."
"Why wasn't it me who got hurt... wuwu..."
Su Ruochu couldn't help but start sobbing. Song Linlin gently embraced her.
"Cry. Crying will make you feel better..."
After Su Ruochu's emotions finally stabilized a bit, Ma Xiaoshuai hesitantly spoke up.
"Fourth sister-in-law, there's one more thing..."
"It's been almost a day since something happened to Old Chen. Shouldn't we inform his family?"
Su Ruochu's body trembled, and she nodded through her tears.
"I'll make this call!"
