Shang Shiyu was afraid that he had no strength left, so she immediately raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "I'm not crying, I'm not crying..."
He chuckled, "Good boy."
She was again in so much pain that she almost died.
He has lost weight!
I've lost a lot of weight!
Even her palms were not as broad as before, and her lips were pale and bloodless. But she was so careless that she didn't notice anything!
Self-blame, shame, heartache, all kinds of emotions surged up in her, and she just wanted to slap herself hard.
Tang Wei was very weak and couldn't say much to her. Later, he fell into a deep sleep again. Shang Shiyu sat there blankly for the whole afternoon, like a sculpture, without moving at all.
Tang Wei, who had been waiting outside, was still worried, so he came in and patted her on the shoulder.
"Miss Shang, my fourth brother won't wake up for a while, you should go out and rest first."
Shang Shiyu came back to his senses from a trance. He looked up at Tang Song, then down at Tang Wei.
"I want to wait here until he wakes up."
"You've been sitting here for four full hours."
Shang Shiyu still held Tang Wei's hand and thought for a long time before he said, "Doctor Tang, can we talk?"
Tang Song nodded, "Of course. I'll wait for you outside."
After he finished speaking, he went out first. Shang Shiyu stood up and kissed Tang Wei on the forehead reluctantly, "I'm talking to Doctor Tang. I'm just outside. I'm not going anywhere."
Her voice was gentler than ever.
He seemed to have heard it, and although he did not open his eyes, the fingertips she held moved slightly. Shang Shiyu then left.
——
Tang Song led Shang Shiyu into the office.
"Have a drink of water." He personally poured her a cup of hot water.
"Thank you." Shang Shiyu held the water cup in her hand. Compared to her previous emotional breakdown, she was much more stable now. However, the hand holding the water cup was still trembling slightly.
"You need to adjust your mood. Your current condition is very dangerous." Tang Song warned worriedly.
Shang Shiyu pursed his lips, "I have tried very hard to accept this reality. It's just..."
She paused, drank some hot water, and moistened her lips. It seemed that only this would give her enough strength to continue asking, "Doctor Tang, can you tell me about his specific condition? When did he get sick? How serious is his condition now? Can it be cured?"
Tang Song glanced at her. "Three years ago, he was first diagnosed with the disease. His condition was better then, and he also had a bone marrow transplant, but..."
Having said this, his expression darkened.
The hand pressing on the desk tightened slightly, "Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. During the subsequent observation, rejection phenomenon appeared again..."
Shang Shiyu's breathing became much heavier. She looked down at the cup in her hand and said, "So... are you planning to have another bone marrow transplant this time?"
"right."
"So... will it succeed this time?"
"..." Tang Song was silent. Although he wanted to say something nice to comfort her, the current situation made it impossible for him to be optimistic.
This kind of silence, like the silence of death, was like a big hand grabbing her heart. She took a few deep breaths before she could breathe normally.
"Then... can I stay in the hospital and take care of him in the future?"
"Of course." Tang Song looked at her deeply, and after a moment's silence, he said solemnly: "My fourth brother really loves you. So, Miss Shang, I sincerely hope that you can make my fourth brother more determined to live."
"I will." Shang Shiyu nodded, her eyes filled with tears, but her expression was unusually firm, "I must make him live!"
That look made Tang Song stunned for a moment, but then he felt relieved.
Seeing her mental breakdown, I was worried that she was too fragile and could not help at all, and needed others to take care of her. But now it seems that she is stronger than Fourth Brother thought.
———
Shang Shiyu walked out of Tang Song's office, took a deep breath, and suppressed all the emotions in his heart.
The bitterness and tears were also suppressed back into the stomach. In the current situation, tears and weakness are useless. There is no weakling in front of the god of death.
"Shi Yu." Just as she was about to return to Tang Wei's ward, a voice rang out.
Shang Shiyu turned around and saw Lan Xiao walking towards her.
"You're still here?" Shang Shiyu was a little surprised. She had been staying in Tang Wei's ward today and ignored him. "I thought you had left a long time ago."
"I was away and just came back." Lan Xiao held up the thermos and handed it to her. "My aunt made it. Eat it up."
"Thank you." Shang Shiyu took the thermos bottle, grateful, "Actually, I don't have much appetite."
"Even if you don't have an appetite, you still have to eat." Before Lan Xiao could reply, another voice interrupted their conversation. It was not a young voice, but an elderly man. Shang Shiyu looked at the other person in surprise, only to see the old man coming over with a cane, followed by several people. Someone pushed a dining cart into the next room.
The old man walked straight towards them. He glanced at the thermos in Shang Shiyu's hand with a sharp gaze, and then glanced at Lan Xiao up and down. His eyes were probing and cautious, "You are quite thoughtful. Do you like this girl?"
Shang Shiyu was embarrassed.
Lan Xiao glanced at Shang Shiyu and wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are friends."
"Friend?" The old man snorted, "It's ok to fool young people, but you are too young to fool an old man like me."
Shang Shiyu didn't know who this old man was, so it was a bit strange for him to talk about their relationship right away, but he still said, "We are really friends."
"This little girl is my future granddaughter-in-law. No matter if we are friends or not, I don't allow you to have any ideas about her." The old man said, and went over to hold Shang Shiyu's hand.
Shang Shiyu was stunned.
She was a little surprised, looking at him, then at Lan Xiao. What granddaughter-in-law
Of course Lan Xiao recognized Mr. Tang. After hearing what he said, he just introduced him to Shang Shiyu: "He is Mr. Tang Si's grandfather, Mr. Tang."
Shang Shiyu was so shocked that his mouth could fit an egg. "Master Tang."
She greeted quickly.
Before, outside the ward, her mind was completely focused on Tang Wei and she didn't pay attention to anyone else at all.
"Don't call me Master, just call me Grandpa like the fourth brother."
Shang Shiyu didn't shy away, "Before, I've always heard Tang Wei mention you."
"I've heard that guy mention you a lot." Old Master Tang continued. Shang Shiyu felt a mixture of bitter and sweet feelings. She glanced at the ward again, her eyes dimmed.
The old man noticed her mood and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go eat first. It's time for dinner now. And you... Lan Xiao, you must have eaten at home, right? I won't invite you to dine with me."
