Before I could say hello to the person standing at the end of the corridor, the metal sliding door of the intensive care unit was opened.

A health care practitioner wearing a blue surgical gown and a mask hurriedly walked out and hurried toward the end of the corridor.

Seeing someone walking out of the intensive care unit, Sui Xinlei and Sui's mother, who were sitting on the bench, suddenly stood up from their chairs.

Taking a step forward, Sui's mother stopped the doctor who was about to walk towards the end of the corridor and asked eagerly:

"Doctor, how is my husband doing now?"

Under the mask, the doctor in blue surgical clothes glanced at Sui's mother and Sui Xinlei, and said nothing. He just let go of the hand held by Sui's mother, made an apologetic gesture, and then hurriedly walked toward them.

Go to the end of the corridor.

Although the doctor didn't say anything and couldn't clearly see his facial expression under the mask, we could tell from the dense layers of sweat on his forehead that the surgery just now must have been very distressing, and

It can be judged from the hurried look of his steps that he is in a hurry. To be precise, he is racing against time, as if he is scrambling for every minute and second of the operation.

Looking at the blue figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, Sui's mother held Sui Xinlei's hand tighter:

"Xinlei, will your dad be okay? Why didn't the doctor say anything just now? Also, if you didn't see his expression just now, your dad..."

Sui Xinlei could feel the endless worry and restlessness in Sui's mother's heart at this moment. In fact, she herself was not the same. She was also very scared and anxious.

But at this moment, she must calm down, and she must give support to Sui's mother. Squeezing the back of Sui's mother's hand, Sui Xinlei comforted:

"Mom, Dad will be fine, nothing will happen."

Seeing Sui's mother still looking uneasy, Sui Xinlei added:

"Mom, let's go over and sit down first. We don't want to mess up the situation first. Maybe the operation will be cured soon, and my dad will be fine at all?"

Sui's mother finally withdrew her gaze and looked at Sui Xinlei intently.

Perhaps Sui Xinlei's words comforted Sui's mother. Now the expression on Sui's face is much calmer than before:

"Yes, yes, Xinlei, you are right. Your dad will be fine. God will bless your dad and he will survive this operation safely."

As if taking reassurance, after listening to Sui Xinlei's words, Sui Xinlei's mother sat back on the rest chair. Sui Xinlei could finally breathe a little sigh of relief. After she calmed Sui's mother's emotions, she sat down herself.

Only then did I remember the person who had been standing beside me for a while.

"Nian Chen, why are you here?"

The person standing in front of him was Lu Nianchen. He was carrying a fruit basket and several boxes of nutritional supplements. He must have come to see a patient. Could it be that he had relatives or friends who were also hospitalized in this hospital?

Not ignoring the look of surprise on Sui Xinlei's face, Lu Nianchen placed the fruit basket and several boxes of nutritional supplements he was carrying on another bench and replied:

"I'm here to see my uncle!"

Sui Xinlei was stunned for a moment by this sentence. She stared blankly at Lu Nianchen standing in front of her. How could he know that her father was sick and hospitalized? She had never told anyone, not even her relatives.

Sui Xinlei never told them, except for Su Yue and Song Chenyang.

Her probing eyes roamed Lu Nianchen's face for a long time, and Sui Xinlei couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.

Lu Nianchen didn't want to explain at all. After he glanced at Sui Xinlei, he turned to Sui's mother and introduced himself politely:

"Hello, aunt, my name is Lu Nianchen. I am Xinlei's colleague and also her good friend."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Lu."

Looking at Lu Nianchen, Sui's mother said in a daze, as if she had not yet reacted. Sui's mother had never seen the man in front of her, and had never heard Sui Xinlei mention it.

Lu Nianchen was the first time Mother Sui met. Although it was the first time, Lu Nianchen left a good impression on Mother Sui: stability was Mother Sui's first impression of Lu Nianchen.

Lu Nianchen naturally didn't know what Sui's mother was thinking. With a faint smile on his lips, he comforted Sui's mother and said:

"Aunt, don't worry! Uncle, he will be fine."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

At this time, if you can get comfort from many people, it will undoubtedly be a kind of spiritual support for Sui's mother, and it is precisely because of such invisible support that people can be encouraged to believe in the existence of hope and rekindle

Have confidence.

"Aunt, Xinlei and I are good friends. You can just call me Nianchen from now on. Mr. Lu sounds weird."

"Okay, Nian Chen."

Seeing that Lu Nianchen and Sui's mother were able to chat, Sui Xinlei felt a lot more at ease. In this way, Sui's mother would be more distracted and not worry about Sui's father so much.

However, just as Sui Xinlei was thinking this, the doctor in blue surgical clothes who came out of the intensive care unit just now came back and appeared in Sui Xinlei's sight.

What Sui Xinlei, Sui's mother and Lu Nianchen saw this time was no longer the doctor alone, but several people also wearing blue surgical suits and masks walking towards the intensive care unit.

The doctor just now was walking next to several other doctors. He was talking to several other doctors. Occasionally, he would see a doctor saying a few words.

Because there was a distance, I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it could be seen from the solemn expressions on their faces that the topic they talked about was very serious.

And if you look closely, you can see that there are two nurses behind these doctors.

Such a battle made the heart that had been slightly relaxed suddenly become tense again.

"Doctor, doctor, is my husband's condition serious?"

When the group of people passed by Sui's mother and Sui Xinlei, Sui's mother stood up from the rest chair and immediately stopped in front of the group of people.

At this moment, the expression on Sui's mother's face was extremely excited. She held the hand of one of the doctors tightly, hoping to get an answer from the doctor.

The surgery was performed. Perhaps because of the urgency of the operation, several doctors did not give Sui's mother the answer she wanted. They walked straight to the intensive care unit.

But Sui's mother was still unwilling to give in, and stepped forward to ask for an answer:

"Doctor, doctor..."

When she approached the doctors again, her body was stopped by someone. The appearance of two nurses just blocked the distance between Sui's mother and the doctors:

"Madam, please calm down first. There is an operation going on inside. Your making such noise will only hinder the doctors from performing the operation. Just sit back and wait. Once the operation is over, we will inform you immediately." 15174591

Looking at the nurses and thinking about what they said, Sui's mother stopped shouting, but still refused to sit back on the rest bench. She insisted on standing, her eyes fixed on the metal in the intensive care unit.

On the sliding door.

"Mom, let's just listen to the nurse and go back and wait for Dad's surgery to be completed."

Sui Xinlei stepped forward and tried to get Sui's mother to go back and sit down, but what she got was Sui's mother shaking her head firmly.

"mom……"

Sui Xinlei was a little helpless about Sui's mother's stubbornness. At the same time, she was worried about Sui's mother's health. If the operation was not completed, it meant that Sui's mother would have to stand all the time.

It is conceivable that this must be unbearable for Sui's mother, who is already exhausted and suffering from physical and mental torture.

Sui Xinlei was very helpless.

Just when he was about to persuade Sui's mother again, he saw Lu Nianchen walking forward:

"Aunt, I know you are very worried about your uncle now. You want to accompany your uncle who is undergoing surgery in this way. But aunt, have you ever thought that if the surgery is over, your uncle will be fine, but you

But you are tired from standing for a long time. How distressed will your uncle and Xinlei feel? You love your uncle and are anxious and worried about your uncle. We all know this, but you

Have you ever thought about it, Xinlei and your uncle are also concerned about your physical condition. Can you bear to see Xinlei worrying about you and your uncle? Your uncle will still need your care after the operation. If you are also tired, then

Who will take care of uncle? I'm afraid Xinlei will have to take care of uncle and you at the same time. Auntie, I think you love Lei so much and don't want to see Xinlei work so hard, right?"

The eyes that were originally staring stubbornly at the metal sliding door turned around immediately after hearing Lu Nianchen's words.

Mother Sui's eyes stayed on Lu Nianchen's face. At this moment, what appeared in front of Mother Sui was a face with a slight smile.11fbt.

Lu Nianchen looked at Sui's mother with a smile, and saw a glimmer of hesitation flashing in Sui's eyes. He knew that Sui's mother was a little moved by what he just said.

And he was very confident that what he just said would definitely change Sui's mother's decision.

Mother Sui's eyes stayed on Lu Nianchen's face for a while, and then she saw Sui Xinlei. How could Mother Sui not see Sui Xinlei's concern?

Think about it, if it is as Lu Nianchen said just now, if he is tired, then it is Sui Xinlei who is working hard. And what Lu Nianchen said is right, he is a daughter like Sui Xinlei, how can he bear to see her working so hard?

Finally, Sui's mother sat back on the bench again, and Sui Xinlei breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded gratefully to Lu Nianchen to express her gratitude!

Lu Nianchen shook his head with a smile and responded to Sui Xinlei. Sui Xinlei and Sui's mother were sitting on a rest chair, while Lu Nianchen was sitting opposite them.

None of the three people spoke anymore, and the long corridor suddenly became quiet again.

Waiting is a kind of suffering, and waiting with worry is a kind of psychological torture and test.

From time to time, Sui's mother would look at the metal sliding door of the intensive care unit; from time to time, Sui Xinlei would raise her eyes and look over and over at the electronic time display hanging in the long corridor.

Hours, minutes, and seconds are separated by red colons, and the red numbers above tirelessly change from 0 to 59, repeating over and over again.

However, Sui Xinlei raised her head several times amid this constant change.

Occasionally, Sui Xinlei would put her arm around Sui's mother's shoulders and give her silent comfort; occasionally, Sui's mother would hold Sui Xinlei's nervous hand, smile or nod, and give her silent support.

As for Lu Nianchen, occasionally he would stand up and pace back and forth slowly; occasionally he would stand silently by the wall, looking in the direction of the intensive care unit; occasionally, he would give Sui Xinlei a reassuring look and give her

Her moral support.

Time passed like this, minute by minute. Every minute and second that passed was an invisible torture for Sui Xinlei, Sui's mother, and even Lu Nianchen.

When Sui Xinlei once again raised her eyes to look at the electronic time display hanging above the corridor, the hours, minutes, and seconds happened to be a perfect combination: 19:00:00.

It has been ten hours and forty minutes since Sui's father was rescued in critical condition at 8:15 in the morning. This rescue operation actually took ten hours and forty minutes!

The delay in time made the uneasiness in my heart even stronger, giving people a vague premonition of ominousness.
