Lu Yan cried even harder when she saw the text message.

She didn't reply to him for a long time, until Shen Kuo's call came in, but she cut it off, but then he called again, and Lu Yan still cut it off.

At this moment, she didn't know how to face him.

For the third time, Lu Yan looked at his name jumping on the phone screen... She knew that if she didn't answer this time, Shen Kuo wouldn't call again.

The girl couldn't help wiping the corners of her eyes with her hands, and finally pressed the answer button with trembling hands.

Didn't speak, even held his breath...

On the other end of the phone, she could hear the noisy background sounds of the hospital.

Shen Kuo was silent for more than ten seconds and finally said: "Yanyan, I don't mind."

If you mind, I won't choose you in the first place.

Lu Yan's emotions completely collapsed. She gasped for air and said with a trembling cry——

"But I mind!"

Father Shen's life is in danger, it's all their family's fault, and Shen Kuo is still so kind to me...

Lu Yan felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.

"Shen Kuo, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

She apologized to him indiscriminately.

"You're not sorry for me."

Shen Kuo clenched his fists and his voice remained calm: "Lu Yan, never say these three words to me again."

Lu Yan hung up the phone, cried for a while, and finally fell asleep.

This time I slept until five o'clock in the afternoon.

For the first time, Lu Zhen didn't bother her. After waking up, she felt soft all over and walked out of the room in slippers.

Lu Zhen is still reading a book. It is really rare to see him forgetting about food and sleep.

Even the family's maid, Aunt Li, said: "Looking at the young master's enthusiasm, he wants to take the top prize!"

Lu Yan went to the bathroom to wash her face and looked at her swollen eyes. She was really ugly.

After crying, she felt much better and asked Aunt Li for two cucumber slices to put on her eyes. She was hungry, so she gnawed away the remaining half.

After returning to the room, Lu Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Children only cry when something happens. In front of Shen Kuo, she always looks like a child who has not grown up.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Zhen washed up early and prepared to go to bed to face the college entrance examination tomorrow.

Before going to bed, he knocked on Lu Yan's door——

"I haven't 'greeted' you all day, stinky girl. Seeing how hard I work, I don't even know how to peel an apple for you."

Lu Yan responded dully: "Ang."

"Open the door."

"Open the door for what?"

"Let me rub my head."

"I'm not your dog!"

"The exam is tomorrow. Just be lucky. You have always been very lucky."

Lu Yan quickly put the cucumber slices back on her eyes and opened the door to the room.

"Oh my god, you scared me."

"Wear a facial mask."

"Okay."

Lu Zhen plucked the hair on the top of her forehead vigorously and murmured to himself: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Namo Amitabha..."

After muttering for a while, he patted the back of Lu Yan's head: "Okay, go to bed quickly."

When he turned to leave, Lu Yan suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"what?"

Lu Yan hesitated for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, come on tomorrow."

"Yes, I understand." He touched her forehead, and a rare tenderness flashed across his eyes: "Don't worry."

After watching Lu Zhen leave, she returned to the room, turned her back to the door and took out her mobile phone.

The phone screen showed three missed calls, all from the same person - Shen Kuo.

The times are four o'clock, four ten and four twenty-seven in the afternoon.

She was sleeping too deeply, and her phone was on silent, so... she didn't receive it.

The college entrance examination will be tomorrow. No matter how sad she is, Shen Kuo can't let Shen Kuo have any worries.

She can't influence him.

Lu Yan called Shen Kuo back.

The phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

Thinking of the three missed calls in the afternoon, Lu Yan suddenly felt something bad in her heart. She couldn't figure out what it was. She walked around the room and decided to go see him.

Lu Yan put her ear to the door and heard Lu Zhen enter the room.

He always fell asleep quickly, so Lu Yan guessed that he had already fallen asleep, so she quietly slipped out of the house and rode her bicycle all the way to the gate of the Municipal People's Hospital.

She didn't even have time to lock it, and she didn't have time to help her bicycle when it fell to the ground. Lu Yan ran all the way... and rushed to the third floor.

I originally thought that I could see the young man's figure in the corridor.

The corridor is empty.

In the special care ward on the third floor, the bed where Dad Shen originally slept is already empty...

Lu Yan felt a "boom" in her head. She stood by the window and looked at the empty ward with her eyes wide open. The blood in her body was cold.

She seemed to be going crazy...and started looking for Shen Kuo in every ward.

Father Shen's condition must be getting better. Yes, he will definitely be transferred out of the special care unit when he gets better. That must be the case!

They must be in the general ward, maybe in the next room...

"Shen Kuo!"

Lu Yan eagerly opened the doors of each ordinary ward, and the yellowed and unfamiliar faces stared at her in surprise.

Finally, the doctor on duty was brought over and stopped her behavior: "This is a hospital, please keep your voice down."

Lu Yan didn't dare to ask the doctor, she didn't dare...

She could only search from ward to ward on her own, hoping to find it, hoping that in the next ward... she could see Shen Kuo and Father Shen who had woken up.

"You are looking for the boy who was with you today."

The doctor caught up with Lu Yan and he still had an impression of her.

"The patient in Special Care Ward 308 passed away this afternoon and has been sent to the morgue."

Lu Yan's steps suddenly stopped.

Seeing that Lu Yan remained silent, the doctor shook his head. In the hospital, doctors have seen this kind of thing too many times. Although he sympathized with her, he could do nothing about it. He sighed: "It is not up to you whether you live or die. With such a tortured disease, how can he persist like this?" Over the years, God has been particularly kind to me.

No, it's not that God is particularly kind, it's Shen Kuo...it's Shen Kuo who can't bear to let go. It's Shen Kuo who takes careful care of him every day and seeks medical advice everywhere that keeps his father alive for so many years!

With a trembling voice, she asked, "What and when?"

"Did you say the time of death? It was probably around three or four o'clock in the afternoon."

Lu Yan leaned against the wall and fell to the ground.

At three and four o'clock in the afternoon, he called her three times, but she didn't receive any...

Lu Yan's hands clenched into fists, and she felt as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff, letting the cold wind at the bottom of the cliff sting her bones.

Chilling to the bones.

When he was at his most desperate, he called her three times, but she didn't answer.

She couldn't imagine how Shen Kuo was feeling at that time. She didn't dare to think about it, she really didn't dare to think about it...

Lu Yan walked out of the hospital, crossed the road in a daze, and stood in front of the mortuary door where the corpses were stored. The long stairs led to the solemn black door.

The soles of her feet felt like lead, and she could no longer lift a step.

She didn't have the courage to go in.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the morgue, it was Zhong Kai.

Wearing a black long-sleeved jacket and black trousers, he jumped down the steps and walked out of the morgue door in a few steps. He seemed to be in a hurry and walked out in a hurry.

Lu Yan quickly turned around to leave, but he had already seen her.

"Hey, Xiaoyan?" He caught up with her and grabbed her: "Don't go."

Lu Yan didn't even dare to look at him. She tilted her head and asked hoarsely: "Dad Shen, he..."

"You've already called me dad, why don't you go in and take a look? He will be cremated shortly."

Lu Yan looked up suddenly, in disbelief.
