You’re My Belated Happiness - Chapter 63
Xu Huaisong and Ruan Yu stayed in the hospital for several days.
Xu’s father started receiving treatment for the transfer environment two months ago. Because of the adequate preparations, his physical condition is optimistic than expected. Apart from seldom speaking, she didn’t have too much disgust towards the new nurse. After the first three days of non-cooperation, she gradually adapted to her care.
Occasionally, when I was disobedient, it was fine to be coaxed by Xu Huaisong.
It’s just that the two of them didn’t dare to take it lightly, just as Xu Huaisong didn’t fall back from the jet lag, so they took turns to sleep with Ruan Yu and accompany them in the ward.
The day Tao Rong was about to come to Hangzhou, it happened to be the day when Wei Jin’s murder case was being heard in Suzhou. Xu Huaisong went to the auditorium and took her in by the way.
Only Ruan Yu and Aunt Wu, the nurse, were left in the Hangzhou Hospital.
Ruan Yu was a little nervous at first. Seeing what happened to Xu’s father, he frowned and rubbed his stomach, and had to run to ask the doctor about his situation. After lunch, he saw that he was in good spirits and Xu Huaisong was coming back soon. Have a snack for a while.
Seeing that Xu Yin went to sleep without falling down after lunch, the nurse Aunt Wu turned on the TV in the ward and tuned to the children’s channel that was broadcasting cartoons.
Although Dad Xu couldn’t read TV anymore, he often laughed happily when he saw the colorful pictures.
Ruan Yu took a glass, poured him a cup of hot water and prepared it, and then sat by the hospital bed and asked him, “Uncle Xu, do you want to eat some apples? I’ll peel it for you.”
Xu Yin glanced at her, as if he didn’t understand her too much, but because he was in a good mood, he smiled and nodded.
Ruan Yu picked a few apples from the fruit basket and prepared to go to the pantry in the corridor to wash.
Aunt Wu hurried forward: “Let me come.”
She waved her hand: “It’s okay, I’m just idle.” Turning around to watch the cartoon, an advertisement was broadcast on TV, and she said, “You can help adjust the channel.”
“Great.”
Ruan Yu went out with the fruit plate, and after washing up in the pantry, he received a WeChat message.
Huai Song: “I’m in the parking lot downstairs. There is nothing wrong in the morning, right?”
While walking towards the ward with the fruit tray, she typed a reply. Before sending it, she suddenly heard a clear “pop”, like the sound of a glass breaking.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Wu’s exclamation rang.
Ruan Yu was taken aback, ran forward and opened the door. He saw that Xu Yin, who was okay just now, had a temper. Without saying a word, it was not enough to smash the glass, and he kept smashing pillows, sheets, medicine bottles, and even naked. I got under the bed.
The sound of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong all over the room.
Aunt Wu couldn’t persuade her from the side, so she turned her head and rang the bell.
Ruan Yu was taken aback. Seeing Xu Yin was about to step on the broken glass on the ground, he hurriedly pulled him: “Uncle, uncle, take care of the glass!” While asking Aunt Wu, “What’s wrong with him?”
“I don’t know, I, I just tuned a channel, and he suddenly…”
Ruan Yu looked back at the TV and saw the court scene. It seemed that he was reporting on Wei Jin’s case. He suddenly realized that he took Xu Yin by the arm and dragged him onto the bed. He said, “Uncle, don’t be afraid, the case is already… …”
Halfway through her words, Xu Yin shook her hand away when she heard the word “case” as if she was possessed.
Ruan Yu was thrown into a staggering fall, and his hands were subconsciously supported on the ground, pressing half of the glass **** in his palm.
She ignored the pain, got up and went to Xu Yin who stumbled and threw something.
The doctor on duty rushed over at exactly this moment, helped Xu Yin back to bed under control, and said to the nurse outside the door: “Come and inject tranquilizers!”
Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, panting desperately from the side.
The nurse came in and gave Xu Yin a sedative, and then calmed him down. When he turned his head and saw Ruan Yu’s hand, he was startled: “Miss, your hand…”
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Huaisong and Tao Rong arrived. About halfway through, I saw the doctors and nurses here rushing in and out, and hurried over.
Tao Rong was frightened by the mess and stayed at the door.
Xu Huaisong saw the blood in Ruan Yu’s palm at a glance, and quickly stepped forward. He didn’t have time to ask, “What’s wrong with Dad?” He grabbed her with the other hand and walked out: “Nurse, please take care of her injury.”
Ruan Yu was still immersed in the chaos just now and didn’t return to his senses. He took a few steps before he came back, and said, “Go and see Uncle, I’ll be fine…”
Without saying a word, Xu Huaisong led her to the treatment room. While taking her hand to look, the blue veins on the forehead jumped up.
The nurse followed into the treatment room, turned on the lights and pulled the curtains, brought medical supplies, put on gloves, and sterilized the tweezers, and said to Ruan Yu: “Sit on the bed. It will hurt a little bit. Come on. Give me your hand.”
She sat down next to the bed, and then felt the tingling pain in her palms afterwards. She gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes as she handed it out.
Xu Huaisong stood by, holding her in his arms with one hand and covering her eyes with the other.
The tweezers gripped the broken glass and pulled out, touching the flesh. She hissed with pain, her eyelashes trembling constantly, and she swept Xu Huaisong’s palm.
He held her tighter and patted her back lightly: “Quickly, it will be finished soon.” Five minutes later, the nurse put the tweezers down and asked carefully, “Are they all taken out?” Please check again.”
The nurse confirmed it again and said, “Don’t worry, you have taken everything clean. Next, you have to disinfect and bear with it.”
Ruan Yu nodded, his cheeks pressed tightly against Xu Huaisong’s waist and abdomen, but the whole body trembled for a moment when the medicine was gone, tears overflowed.
Xu Huaisong trembled, and silently, stretched his hand to her mouth: “Bite me if it hurts.”
Ruan Yu shook his head, reluctantly joked, “Then you have to get a vaccine.”
Knowing that she was diverting his attention, he took her stubble and asked, “I was bitten by a white rabbit, do I need a vaccine, nurse?”
The nurse laughed and helped him coax Ruan Yu: “Rabbits are rodents and generally don’t need to be vaccinated against rabies. But I ate too much dog food, so I have to go with some digestive tablets.”
Xu Huaisong smiled and said, “We will come for the medical expenses.”
Ruan Yu was amused by the two, and when he remembered the pain, the gauze was already wrapped.
The nurse put away the tools, instructed the two of them about the time of dressing change, food restriction, and so on, and pushed the car out.
Xu Huaisong sat down by the bed, lowered his head and held her hand, carefully avoided her wound and stroked it, raised his eyes and said, “I’m sorry.”
“I want to say I’m sorry, I didn’t take care of my uncle… Just now my uncle got out of control when he saw Wei Jin’s case on TV…”
Xu Huaisong nodded: “It’s okay. This kind of out-of-control situation often happens. It’s just that the new nurse has insufficient experience. In the United States, he can generally be calmed without sedatives.
“Aren’t you going to see him?”
He shook his head: “The doctor is here, and my mother just needs such an opportunity, so let them get along alone, and we will be called if something happens.”
Ruan Yu suddenly realized: “You are also scheming with your mother.”
Xu Huaisong smiled very weakly, did not answer directly, still seemed to feel sorry for her: “Does it still hurt?”
She shook her head: “It’s okay.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
“What hard work, your family is also my family.”
Xu Huaisong’s eyes flickered for a moment, then he was silent, and then gave her a kiss on the forehead.
When the two returned to the ward, the mess had been cleaned up.
Dad Xu was sleeping. Tao Rong sat on the bed and looked at him. He looked up and saw Ruan Yu’s injury, showing a sorry expression. He whispered to Xu Huaisong, “Look at Yu Yu’s face, or you can take her back. Let’s rest at home, I just watch it here.”
Xu Huaisong fell silent.
She smiled awkwardly: “Don’t worry, I will ask the doctor and nurses how to take care of your father.”
Xu Huaisong nodded and took Ruan Yu back to the apartment. When passing by the mailbox downstairs, he took the key to open the lock and took out three letters.
It was sent from the United States and just arrived today.
Ruan Yu glanced around and found that although the three letters were sent to Xu Huaisong, the corners of the envelope indicated different recipients.
The other two letters are addressed to Xu Huaishi and Tao Rong.
After entering the house, Xu Huaisong took her into the bedroom, told her to lie down for a while, turned her head to sit down in the living room, and opened the letter from father Xu to him.
It was Xu Yin’s handwriting that was correct, but it was a bit sloppy, and the pen seemed erratic. It seems that when he wrote this letter, his physical condition was not good.
His first line is: “Son, when you read this letter, Dad may be dead.”
Although he was mentally prepared, Xu Huaisong was shocked by this beginning, and only continued to look down after a meal.
“I haven’t told you that when Dad first came to the United States, he was diagnosed with a serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, so you might feel that Dad’s departure was sudden.”
“But in fact, Dad has been in the rescue room twice in the past three years, and he had just returned from the ghost door when I wrote this letter, so I was prepared in my heart. I feel guilty because my father kept it from you on purpose.”
“I don’t want to say, how do you know? Just like three years ago, when I told your mother that I was tired of her, and tired of this family, she would not know, I was lying.”
“Daddy’s mouth is so stubborn, so when you, at the age of eighteen, asked me if I knew if my client murdered, I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say it because I knew, even if I said. You may not really understand it. And you who choose to become a lawyer will sooner or later find the answer to this question by yourself.”
“But having said that, Dad actually doesn’t want you to be a lawyer. Or at least, don’t become a criminal lawyer. As a criminal lawyer, I look forward to more and more young people taking this path and loving it. Believe in it, devote effort to it, and make its existence shine bright. But as a father, I don’t want my son to suffer for it, to be criticized for it, and to encounter the world’s squinting eyes. And become like me.”
“So, when you hesitated to specialize in the field, Dad did something that shouldn’t be. I communicated with your teacher privately and asked him to persuade you and interfere with your choice. I hope you don’t blame Dad for this.”
“But if you really have resentment, just choose again according to your own heart, because this is your life after all. Dad just wants to tell you, no matter what field you end up as a lawyer and what achievements you have achieved, You are the greatest pride in Dad’s heart. Although it is a pity, Dad can’t see it anymore.”
The letter came to an abrupt end here. It didn’t seem like a suicide note explaining what happened, but it said a lot.
Xu Huai-song’s vision gradually blurred, and when he took off his glasses, he suddenly heard slight footsteps behind him.
Ruan Yu walked out of the room at some unknown time, and seemed to watch him quietly behind for a long time.
He looked back and coughed, his expression a little unnatural.
She walked up and took him into her arms. She didn’t ask him what was written in the letter, but just said: “Tomorrow will be very good, it will be very good.”
Yes.
Almost lost, but still around in a blink of an eye, this is not a true letter, not the final ending, then tomorrow, it will be very good.
