Chapter One Hundred and Eleven You Can’t Cry You Must Be Strong
When Sui Xinlei rushed to the intensive care unit of the largest hospital in Yucheng, what she saw was Sui's mother slumped on a rest chair, reading the full text of "You Tian Xia Wushuang".
Her complexion was extremely ugly, and her red and swollen eyes were filled with wet tears; the tear marks on her cheeks were so obvious, deep and shallow, old and new, superimposed on each other: I think she had cried many times just now.
, shed a lot of tears.
I remember that the last time I saw my mother was during a video call half a month ago. At that time, the two elders in the video were smiling very happily. My father and mother looked in high spirits, very young, and it was completely invisible.
He is already over fifty years old.
But at this time, looking at Sui Xinlei from this point of view, Sui's mother, who was slumped in the chair, suddenly looked much older, so old that it was heartbreaking.
The tip of her heart twitched, and when she pressed the pain in her chest, Sui Xinlei felt her eyes were hot, and she walked step by step towards the person sitting on the rest chair.
"mom!"
Sui Xinlei called softly, and she could almost feel her voice trembling slightly. She squatted down, reached out and held the wrinkled hands on the backs of her hands. She wanted to give her mother silent comfort and tell her
, she is not alone, she has her daughter by her side.
Sui Xinlei's soft call made Sui's mother, who was originally looking at the intensive care unit, turn around. When she saw Sui Xinlei half-crouching next to her, Sui's mother's eyes, which were filled with tears, suddenly burst into tears.
came out.
"Xinlei!"
Sui's mother stretched out her hand and hugged Sui Xinlei, rested her head on Sui Xinlei's shoulder, and cried. Her cry was so sad and so helpless.
At this moment, in Sui Xinlei's eyes, Sui's mother was like an extremely helpless child, and even more so, a fragile and overwhelmed woman.
At this moment, what Sui's mother needs most is comfort and support.
Sui Xinlei stretched out her hand and patted her mother's back gently:
"Mom, everything will be fine, you are an all-round master on campus. Dad will definitely get better soon."
What Sui's mother didn't see was that when Sui Xinlei said these words of comfort to her, her eyes were already red, but Sui Xinlei forced herself not to cry or shed tears in front of her mother.
She must force herself to be strong. Only in this way can she give her mother the greatest comfort and support. At this time, she is her mother's heaven!
She has to shoulder everything she has to face now and in the future.
"Well, it will get better! It will definitely get better."
Sui Xinlei's comfort slightly relieved Sui's mother's originally depressed mood. She wiped the tears on her face, while seeming to encourage herself, and seemed to say to Sui Xinlei:
"Xinlei, your dad will definitely get better."
The two mother and daughter hold each other's hands tightly, encouraging, comforting and relying on each other in this way.
"But hasn't Dad always been in good health? Why did he become so seriously ill all of a sudden?"
Sui Xinlei glanced at the closed door of the intensive care unit and asked suspiciously.
Just now I heard Sui's mother crying on the phone and saying that her father was in the intensive care unit, which really shocked Sui Xinlei.
In my impression, my father has always been in good health, and he goes for morning exercises every day. He is unbeatable. Throughout the year, he is rarely seen sick, and even a slight cold is very rare. How could he fall ill so suddenly this time?
? And he was admitted to the intensive care unit. Sui Xinlei was unexpected, and Sui's mother was also unexpected.
Sui's father's illness came so suddenly, and Sui's mother was caught off guard by the suddenness.
As usual, Sui's father went out at six o'clock in the morning to go for morning exercise in a small park near his home. However, in less than half an hour, a neighbor knocked on the door of Sui Xinlei's parents' house and informed Sui's mother that Sui Xinlei's father had fainted while exercising in the small park.
Fell.
When Sui's mother arrived, a group of people were surrounding Sui's father who had fainted on the ground. When she saw Sui's father, tears almost burst out of her eyes: Sui's father just closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, and his lips were black.
Lying on the ground.
At that time, Sui Xinlei had lost her attention and could only cry because she was anxious. Fortunately, the kind people in the small park called 120 for emergency help. With the help of everyone, Sui's father was immediately sent to the hospital in the small city where Sui Xinlei's parents lived.
inside.
However, the doctor told him that Sui's father's condition was serious and he needed to be rushed to a higher-level hospital with the best medical equipment.
In this way, Sui's father and Sui's mother came to Yucheng again, and Sui's father was sent to the largest hospital in Yucheng.
"Acute pancreatitis?" When Sui's mother heard the name of Sui's father's disease, Sui Xinlei looked at Sui's mother blankly.
How could acute pancreatitis be associated with his father? vexn.
"Xinlei, my initial reaction was just as surprised as yours. Your dad has always been in good health. I didn't expect him to fall ill like this."
At this time, Sui's mother had stopped sobbing. She glanced towards the intensive care unit, but did not look back:
"I was panicked and confused at the time. I watched your dad being pushed into the intensive care unit. Through the glass window of the intensive care unit, I watched the nurses and doctors busy one by one, doing a task for your dad.
Another test after another. After a series of tests, the doctor said your dad has acute pancreatitis."
Sui's mother withdrew her gaze, sighed and said:
"The doctor said that patients who suffer from this disease usually develop the disease without any warning. Before the onset of acute pancreatitis, they suffer from symptoms such as vomiting and lower abdominal distension and pain. Thinking about it afterwards, your father had a fever the day before.
I had lower abdominal distension and pain, but it disappeared after a while. Of course, we didn't pay much attention to it. If I had discovered it at that time, if I had paid more attention at that time, maybe your dad wouldn't have...
………”
Sui's mother felt a little guilty because she had always been worried about this incident.
"Mom," Sui Xinlei held Sui's mother's hand again, "don't think too much, who would have thought that such a situation would happen?"
Sui's mother looked into Sui Xinlei's eyes and nodded.
"Is the onset of acute pancreatitis caused by the patient's previous illness? It cannot be unprovoked."
Sui Xinlei was curious, "Has my dad had any medical history before?"
In the past few years, Sui Xinlei has been away from home and rarely returned home, so she has naturally cared less about her parents. In fact, she also talks about her parents' physical condition in every video call.
Her parents told her that everything was fine, but Sui Xinlei didn't pay much attention to it!
When Sui Xinlei asked, Sui's mother beheaded Sui Xinlei with a strange light flashing in her eyes:
"Actually, your dad was diagnosed with gallstones two years ago."
"Gallstones?"
This was something Sui Xinlei had never known. She widened her eyes and looked at Sui's mother, wanting to know what was going on.
"Your dad suffered from gallstones. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the stones from the gallbladder. However, your dad chose conservative Chinese medicine treatment. He has been taking Chinese medicine for the past few years and has been able to control it."
"But why didn't you tell me?"
"I won't tell you because you were taking the promotion exam at that time. We know that you love this job very much and you are so strong. We know that you will not give up such a good opportunity, so I and I
Your father decided not to tell you after discussion so as not to distract you."
While listening to Sui's mother eloquently talking about this matter, Sui Xinlei felt that her eyes were getting hot again.
Sui's mother sighed softly:
Light red face. "Who knows, the doctor said it was because of the gallstones that your dad suffered from acute pancreatitis."
Just as he was talking, the door to the intensive care unit was opened. A nurse wearing a blue sterile protective suit and a mask came out.
Sui's mother stood up from the chair, walked to the nurse, and asked eagerly:
"Can I go in and see my husband now?"
"Yes, but the patient is still in a coma, so you can only stay for twenty minutes."
The nurse added, "There are also patients who must wear sterile protective clothing when entering to avoid bacterial infection."

******************************************************
When Sui Xinlei and Sui's mother put on sterile protective clothing and walked into the intensive care unit, they saw Sui lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by several medical detectors, her face was pale and without a trace of blood, and her eyes were tightly closed.
When her father was crying, Sui's mother's tears flowed out again. She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth to prevent herself from crying.
As for Sui Xinlei, she was close to the hospital bed where Sui's father was lying, looking down at Sui's father lying on the bed.
In an instant, many memory fragments appeared in Sui Xinlei's mind one by one: the man who once let her ride on his back and led her to hang a red lantern; the man who once waited for the bus with her in the cold winter, and
A man who covers his own with his broad palms for fear of getting cold, and then exhales hot breath into his clasped hands over and over again;
She used to be a man who would satisfy her no matter what request she made; Sui Xinlei remembered that time when the "Little Overlord Learning Machine" was popular. When she asked for such a machine, Sui's father would agree without hesitation. You know at that time, buy one
The Xiaobawang learning machine costs a lot of money.
Sui's father was old and miserable on the hospital bed. Why did he become like this now, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden?
The man who used to be radiant and had black hair in my memory, since when did his black hair begin to slowly turn into white hair.
Since when did this man start to have a lot of fine lines at the corners of his eyes and face? Sui Xinlei never noticed these small details. It was not that she couldn't see it, but that she didn't pay attention. Her parents were slowing her down.
As I grow up slowly, I have begun to grow older.
Sui Xinlei reached out and gently touched the face of the man lying on the hospital bed. The shallow lines could be clearly felt through the touch of her hands.
The palm of her hand went all the way down, accompanied by bursts of sour smell at the tip of her nose, across the man's forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and finally his chin. When her palm touched her chin, Sui Xinlei felt that the sour smell at the tip of her nose was getting stronger and stronger.
The tears that had been holding in his eyes for a long time finally poured out at this moment.
Tears dripped on the man's face drop by drop, dripping on the bed sheets, and instantly bloomed into water splashes.
It was originally agreed that after Sui Xinlei was busy with the land bidding, she would go back to see her parents to make up for not being able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her elders this year.
Sui Xinlei clearly remembers the promise made in the video call that day, and the "reasonable" understanding of Sui's father and Sui's mother in the video that day made Sui Xinlei even more moved and guilty. She still remembers her father smiling at her during the video call.
He said that he must ask Song Chenyang to come with him when the time comes, and Sui's father would cook a table of delicious dishes to entertain his extremely satisfied son-in-law.
