When we arrived at the hospital, my dad had already been sent to the emergency room. There were several men crowding in the corridor, most of whom were my dad’s colleagues or friends.
My mother grabbed one person and asked, "What happened?"
That person was my dad’s colleague, Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands: “I don’t know. I was fine during the meeting in the morning. During lunch, I just listened. Said he was in a car accident.”
After the car accident, I just felt a bang in my head and a strange feeling that I had expected.
My mother was paralyzed at that time. She was supported by two people following her. It was the first time she saw my mother's fragile side. She asked Lao Zhang with tears in her eyes: "Is the injury serious?"
Lao Zhang kept shaking his head: "I don't know, we are still rescuing people. The person is conscious. If something happens, he keeps yelling at us not to notify you yet, but the legs..."
"What happened to the leg?"
"I don't know either." Lao Zhang felt like he was about to cry.
There are only a few old employees in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Two or three of them have had accidents before. Lao Gao injured his leg and is still lying in the hospital waiting for medical treatment. Among them, the only one who was lucky enough to survive was Lao Zhang. The reason why Lao Zhang was so scared was probably because he also guessed that he might be the next one to get into trouble.
Originally, this matter was completely kept secret, because it was treated as an accident before. However, after my father’s car accident, the Public Security Bureau intervened in the investigation, and the news was finally leaked. Many media rushed to report that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was collectively targeted. news.
I sat on the bench in the corridor without saying a word, hugging my knees quietly. I only had one thought in my mind: Dad, you must come out safely. I will listen to you no matter what happens in the future, and I will never do it again. I will fight against you, I will never make you angry again, I just want you to be safe.
During this long waiting process, my phone vibrated countless times. I was upset and pressed the power button directly.
Like a devout believer waiting for God's will, finally after praying thousands of times, the door to the emergency room was opened. A group of people gathered around him. The doctor took off his mask, his face was light and he was apologetic at the beginning: "I'm sorry, the patient lost consciousness during the rescue process, and the operation has been stopped. Whether it's good or bad depends on whether the patient can survive." It’s time for tonight.”
"What?!" My mother lost her voice and finally collapsed. This was the first time that a strong woman in her career and life fell.
I didn't cry, I just stood there expressionless. My parents' friends came over to comfort me, their voices were high or low, salty or light. I didn't hear a word, I just felt the silence in my ears, and everything in front of me was... The way my dad looks when he points at my nose and scolds me.
My mother woke up not long after she lay down in bed, and rushed into my father's ward regardless of everyone's objections. Then she became a puppet and sat there dumbly until dawn.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, you never know which one will come first.
Sitting on the bench, thinking for a long time, I decided to go to Mr. Jin. Because in my heart, I have already identified him as the culprit.
I couldn't see the pedestrians passing by, so I rushed forward in a daze. As soon as I left the hospital gate, I was stopped by someone. Xuanxuan looked in front of me with a pale face and asked anxiously: "Yanyan, how is your father?"
It felt like my lips were stiff, and it took me a long time to hold back a light word: "The doctor said it depends on tonight, whether you can survive it depends on tonight."
I have only heard this kind of thing on TV. Whenever a doctor speaks like this, it is most likely to be a disaster, and it is very likely that he will never wake up again. I can’t imagine what will happen next. For the first time, I long for the existence of gods in this world. He can hear the voices of my mother and me. For the sake of our piety, let my father wake up early.
Xuanxuan looked at me in shock. I smiled and walked past her, brushing her shoulder. She followed me and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm just walking around, don't follow me." I stretched out a hand between her and me, signaling her not to follow.
Xuanxuan refused and continued to follow me, anxiously saying, "Where are you going? I'll accompany you."
"No, just don't follow me. I want to be alone." It seems that this is the second time I have grown up. The first time I resisted anyone like this was after I found out that Liu Nanhao had betrayed me. The difference is that last time I cried, this time I didn't; last time it was the end, this time it is the beginning.
Xuanxuan was worried that something would happen to me, so she followed me relentlessly. I didn't have the extra strength to shake her away, so I had to walk aimlessly on the road. She didn't say a word and followed me quietly.
After walking for a long time, I finally got tired, so I sat directly under a coconut tree on the roadside and continued to hold my knees, as if this way I wouldn't feel too empty.
Xuanxuan sat on the other side of the coconut tree and started talking to me.
"Do you want to go find Mr. Jin?"
I was a little surprised and raised my eyebrows inadvertently. I wanted to ask her how she knew, but I couldn't ask her. I was silent for a while and just asked: "Where is Liang Sheng?"
I want to see him and desperately want to be comforted by him.
Xuanxuan hesitated and hesitated. I looked at her coldly before she gritted her teeth and replied: "At the police station."
My voice finally became rippled: "What's going on?"
Xuanxuan scratched her hair randomly and said in one breath: "Oh, they didn't let me say it, but I couldn't help it. Before your father's accident, he was with Mr. Liang."
"." I just felt a bang, and something collapsed in my heart. I was puzzled: "How come my dad is with him?"
Xuanxuan simply told me everything.
It turns out that my dad had made an appointment with Liang Sheng a day in advance to meet at the coffee shop at the traffic light intersection of Tiancheng Road, just to get him to separate from me. Liang Sheng knew my father's motives, so he took the initiative to terminate the contract with me. After the two of them met and chatted for a while, Liang Sheng received a call from Chu Jin. Because the company had more important things, he had to leave first. My dad was very angry and felt that Liang Sheng was too rude and disrespected him. Not long after Liang Sheng returned to the company, she called me. First she didn't get through, and then she turned off her phone. Soon after, the police found him.
Xuanxuan frowned, "I don't know the specifics. If you don't wait for Mr. Liang to come back, you can ask him yourself."
"Don't say I told you." She bit her lip, as if she regretted speaking too much.
"Oh." I replied expressionlessly, got up and walked back.
Xuanxuan continued to follow me: "Where are you going?"
"Buy some food for my mom."
Back in the ward, my mother sat motionless with a haggard face. I opened the chicken soup I bought, poured it into a bowl and brought it to her, "Mom, if you can't eat anything, just drink some soup."
My mother looked at my father without raising her eyes and murmured: "Have you eaten?"
I nodded: "Yeah."
"You drink it, I can't drink it."
I licked my dry lips, my heart cramped for a moment, and I coaxed my mother like a child: "Don't be like this, drink some. If my dad wakes up and sees you like this, he will be sad."
The corner of my mother's mouth twitched. Knowing that she had heard what she said, she put the chicken soup on the bedside table and left the ward. When I went in later, the chicken soup in the bowl had been finished.
Night fell and the lights came on, but my dad still didn't wake up.
Xuanxuan has been sitting with me on the bench outside the ward, constantly poking at her cell phone. She must be chatting with Chu Jin and the others.
I don’t know why, but when I heard Xuanxuan say that my dad was with Liang Sheng before his accident, I actually blamed Liang Sheng a little bit. Why did he abandon my dad and walk away? If he had been with my dad, I Dad might not have crossed the road alone, and the current tragedy would not have happened.
"How important is it that Liang Sheng can leave my father alone?" The voice came from my throat, which was hoarse and unlike my own. I want to know why, what exactly, is so important.
Xuanxuan glanced at me, swiped the screen, and held the phone in front of me, "Because of this."
I looked over and saw that it was a photo of me and Yuan Yushan catching a doll, "Why do you have this photo?"
"It's in Jiang Duo's book." Xuanxuan looked at me and continued: "You must be sixteen years old in the photo. Look here, you have a mole on your elbow, where your scar is. Location."
