Wen Qi would never have thought that her father, who was still in good health just a few days ago, would turn into a cold corpse in such a short period of time. Nor could she have imagined that the doctor in charge of her father's case was He Mingzhen.
These days, she had been in constant contact with He Mingzhen, but whenever they were together, he never mentioned the news of his father's accident. It wasn't until late at night when she rushed to the hospital that she heard He Mingzhen's single sentence of apology.
"Isn't it late?"
Wen Qi's heart felt heavily oppressed, leaning against the cold hospital wall, her legs went limp.
"With something like this happening, I'm also helpless." He Mingzhen lightly threw out such a sentence.
The tone was cold and detached, without any extra emotions, let alone comfort.
They drifted apart like strangers.
Wen Qi clenched her fists to steady her emotions, and her voice wasn't shaking as much. "Why didn't you tell me? There were so many chances today..."
There were many opportunities, but he just wouldn't say it.
She's so annoying that it's driving me crazy.
He Mingzhen's eyes darted around, without a word of explanation.
The surgery tonight was exhausting.
After handling the relevant matters in the hospital, it was almost dawn. Wen Qi has always been unable to withstand setbacks, and even if her group project at school didn't pass, she would cry, but on this night, after losing a loved one, she didn't cry, nor did she act rashly.
But instead, he handled his father's belongings with extreme seriousness and intelligence, and cooperated with the nurse for the rest of the procedures.
From start to finish, I didn't say another word to He Mingzhen.
Her heart wasn't filled with so much hatred, it was just a moment of anger.
On the third day after my father's funeral, someone came to our door asking for compensation. The visitor was named Li Bo and was a family member of the other party involved in the car accident. Since Wen Jianzhong had failed to follow traffic rules first, he was entirely at fault, so it was not unreasonable for them to ask for compensation.
Wen Qi invited Li Bo to enter first and they had a detailed discussion about the compensation issue after the car accident.
Li Bo shook his head and refused to enter, speaking in a not-so-fluent Mandarin: "I'm covered in mud, don't dirty your floor."
He had just come back from work, covered in mud all over his body. His old work clothes were black and shiny, looking like they hadn't been washed for a long time. Due to being outdoors for many years, the skin on his face and hands was dark and wrinkled, resembling dry tree bark.
But in fact, he is not old.
"It's okay, come on in." Wen Qi stepped aside and took out a brand new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of him.
Li Bo hesitated, but eventually couldn't resist Wen Qi's persuasion and walked into the high-end villa that he had never entered in his life.
Two people sat in the living room, Wen Qi poured him a cup of tea and said with a gentle tone: "Don't worry, as long as it's what we should compensate for, we will definitely compensate you without missing a single cent."
"As long as I wake up, everything is fine."
Xinwa is his son, named Li Xin, who has been in a coma since the car accident and is still lying in the hospital.
He and his son Li Xinyuan came out to work on the construction site at the beginning of the year. Due to the recent relocation of the workers' dormitory to a place far away from the construction site, the father and son considered buying a second-hand electric vehicle.
That night, Li Bo went out to buy something and lost his way. Li Xin rode a bike to find him, but unexpectedly was hit by a car that came suddenly around the corner. By the time Li Bo found his way back, Li Xin had already fainted.
As he spoke, Li Bo's voice grew softer and softer until it became inaudible.
Warmly praying silently, also can't say anything.
After a while, he said again: "If Xīn wá doesn't wake up, I won't easily forgive you..."
