Chapter 314 - 282: I Am His Lifeblood 2
"I can’t live without him..."Su Xiaomeng hugged her mother tightly in distress, "Dad will be fine, he will be fine, I promise you, Mom, don’t scare yourself, sob sob..."
Yin Shixiu stood aside, still uncertain about the situation, but vaguely felt... a bad premonition.
He had already sent people to investigate who were the ones causing trouble at the flower shop, under whose orders, and for what reason.
The police had identified the suspects involved in the incident through surveillance and started their pursuit.
To the Su Family, it was like a disaster from the heavens.
Soon, the doctor came out, his hands covered in blood and his head soaked in sweat, and told them.
Su Chengji not only had his thigh artery severed but also had an abdominal injury with some organ damage. The patient had already experienced shock twice, so they needed to be mentally prepared...
The doctor sighed and was about to turn back inside when Su’s mother stood up and approached him, "Let me in."
"Madam Su, outsiders are not allowed in the operating room."
Bai Sixian gazed at him, "I won’t disturb you, let me in. I am his life. He needs to hear my voice. Believe me, Doctor, if he hears my voice, he won’t die."
Su Xiaomeng quickly covered her mouth, trying not to cry out loud...
But her heart was aching, scared, and helpless...
Yin Shixiu took her hand and pulled her into his embrace, softly comforting, "It’s okay, it’s okay, Meng Meng, it’s okay..."
"Sob sob... Shixiu... Will I be without a dad? Sob sob sob..."
Yin Shixiu felt a sharp pain in his heart at her cries.
"Please, please let me in, okay?"
Su’s mother also couldn’t hold on and pleaded desperately with the doctor.
"Let her in."
Yin Shaohui, leaning on a cane, said to the doctor.
"Old sir—"
"Let her in."
The one who spoke was the approaching hospital director.
The surgeon, seeing the director himself come over and hearing his words, felt it was against the rules, but still allowed Bai Sixian to enter the operating room with them.
The director, with white hair and wearing a white coat, walked up to Yin Shaohui and the two elderly men embraced.
"Commander, it’s been so long. I thought I might never see you again in this lifetime."
Yin Shaohui sighed, "I truly wish I never have to see you again."
The director understood his implication and could only comfort him, "That Doctor Chen is the top in our hospital for surgical abilities, Commander, you can rest assured."
Yin Shaohui nodded.
The comfort in those words was too heavy, even the director himself felt unsure and lacked confidence.
"Shall we go sit in the waiting room for a while? It’s no use worrying here."
The director said, and Yin Shaohui turned to Yin Shixiu, "Then stay here with Xiao Meng, and I’ll go with the director to the waiting room."
Yin Shixiu nodded, taking the opportunity to greet the director, calling him uncle.
The director patted Yin Shixiu on the shoulder, "In the blink of an eye, the little fourth has grown so much. Doctor Chen is skilled, a good result is expected. You, young daughter-in-law, be strong."
Su Xiaomeng nodded and thanked him.
The director and Yin Shaohui entered the waiting room, while Yin Shixiu held Su Xiaomeng on the bench outside, continuing to endure the agonizing wait.
Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes as if she could hear the ticking of time, each second passing like a year.
In this long torment, countless images of her father flooded Xiao Meng’s mind.
His handsome and honest figure was deep yet carefree.
His heart was so big that no matter how difficult things were, they seemed trivial with just a wave of his hand to him.
The love and dedication he showed her, she could never repay in her lifetime.
She couldn’t hear the noisy hospital sounds, or the wailing from the neighboring corridor. The only thing she could hear was...
Her dad’s voice calling, "Meng Meng... Little Meng girl... daughter... baby..."
And her dad’s ill-timed laughter, those words he said, those things he did...
She didn’t want these images to pass through her mind, as if her dad would really leave.
Her hand tightly gripped Yin Shixiu’s clothes, her face buried in his chest.
He was her rock-solid support, in her eyes, capable of anything...
But at this moment, she couldn’t say, "Shixiu, can you let dad live..."
She knew that in the face of life and death, everyone was powerless.
Yin Shixiu lowered his head, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips against her hair.
He had no faith, wasn’t a believer in any gods, he only believed in himself, but now, he wanted to rely on those elusive deities.
Would they listen to the request of a mere mortal who never had devoutness...
Don’t let his beloved suffer so much.
Perhaps Doctor Chen was truly excellent at his craft, perhaps the gods heard their plea, or perhaps... Su Chengji heard Bai Sixian’s voice.
Over an hour later, when the sky outside was cloaked in darkness, and the city embraced night...
The operating room door opened once again. Dr. Chen removed his mask, his tired eyes behind glasses revealing a faint smile.
This faint smile, laden with exhaustion, to Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu, was like the light at the end of darkness, bright and warm.
Daddy was back.
He lay on the hospital bed, being transported to the intensive care unit.
Su’s mother held his cold hand, not letting it go for a second.
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng stood outside the intensive care unit, looking through the glass at their parents inside.
She looked at Yin Shixiu, tears still hung on her lashes, but there was so much gratitude and relief in her eyes—thank goodness you are with me.
Yin Shixiu pulled her into his arms, he couldn’t bear to see her upset, couldn’t bear for her to be harmed by anyone or anything, couldn’t bear for her to feel helpless and despairing.omorrow."
Zhou Mengqin nodded, then said, "How about I ask Ah Su to bring the two little ones over?"
"No—"
"Let them come over."
Su Xiaomeng was about to refuse, but Yin Shixiu nodded.
Who knew the old madam had already asked Ah Su to bring Shuangshuang and Huang Huang over, fearing that even if both Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng refused, they would still have the two children join the video call.
"Shuangshuang, Huang Huang, look quickly, who’s this..."
The old madam had Shuangshuang on her lap, and Ah Su sat with Huang Huang beside her.
Shuangshuang looked at the screen, her eyes lit up and she pointed at Xiao Meng, saying, "Mommy!"
"Who else?"
"Daddy!"
"Good girl."
Beside them, Prince Huang had a sullen face, but he recognized them immediately, just didn’t say anything.
He probably wanted some praise from grandma too.
But grandma only praised Shuangshuang, so he looked a bit gloomy.
"Hehe! Mommy... kiss kiss..."
With that, Shuangshuang pouted her little mouth towards the screen.
Grandma deemed the electronic screen dirty, stopped Shuangshuang from kissing it, and said to her, "Mommy went to grandpa’s house."
"Guampa..."
The little one couldn’t pronounce "wai" properly, so kept repeating "guampa, guampa."
Shuangshuang was quite the chatterbox, seeing her parents made her even more excited, babbling a bunch of unintelligible words.
Su Xiaomeng could somewhat make out that...
Today she had a little cake at grandma’s house, brother finished his and tried to take hers.
For dinner, she ate a lot, and just now drank milk too, much more than her brother.
Brother kissed her a lot today, he likes her a lot...
Anyway, Prince Huang just kept a gloomy face, occasionally refuting weakly...
"Liar..."
But his words would often be drowned out by Shuangshuang’s loud voice.
Finally, Prince Huang just quietly leaned on Ah Su, silently watching the screen where his parents were.
Missing them dearly.
So...
"Mommy... crying..."
Prince Huang pointed at the screen, noticing the tear traces on Su Xiaomeng’s face.
Su Xiaomeng paused for a moment, then quickly wiped her face, smiling, "Mommy wasn’t crying..."
"Mommy... cry... cry..."
Prince Huang’s little face fell, as he spoke, he tugged at his hair, seemingly not understanding why mommy was crying...
Seeing her son asking, Su Xiaomeng felt her nose sour again, unable to hold her emotions, "Mommy... mommy almost lost daddy..."
