Chapter 206: Critical Condition

n she stared at Zhuo YUAN for a while with her round, grape-like, jet-black eyes, and said something that shocked the entire store in a deadpan voice."Uncle, you look just like my father."Shu Tinglan...Having bought a hot drink from the convenience store downstairs in the hospital, he finished it and finally felt a little better. Back to the hallway upstairs, everyone was either sitting or lying down, fast asleep. 。In the safety corridor, a young couple lay sleeping beside the stairs with their bedding rolled up. Shu Tinglan had a vague impression of this couple. Their child had a blood disease, with platelets dwindling to just a few, urgently needing a transfusion. However, the hospital blood bank was in a state of emergency. The mother extended her arm behind the doctor's back, pleading desperately for them to draw her blood to transfuse their child. Her arm was pale and so thin that one could see the bluish veins running through it. 。The doctor repeatedly emphasized that she was not suitable for another blood transfusion. The hospital blood bank was actively working to arrange a blood supply, while the young mother sobbed and lay on the floor. The young father clutched his head in his hands and huddled in a corner of the corridor, silent. 。This is hell on Earth. 。She bought several more hot drinks, walked to the stairs, and handed them to the young mother. 。The young mother's eyes finally focused on the hot drink. She took it from his hands, clutching it tightly to her chest and mumbling:

"Thank you, thank you"

"My baby loves this drink the most, it's very milky" 。"I wonder if she'll ever have another chance to drink it again. " 。"Shutinglan's heart ached intensely, understanding the pain and despair of the young couple because at this moment, she too was going through it. " 。Mom is lying in the hospital, relying on oxygen to sustain her life every day. Her blood oxygen saturation keeps dropping, no matter how much she prays and begs God for a break. 。Mom showed no signs of improvement, and the doctor issued critical condition notices for three consecutive days. 。She asked herself countless times, why had things become like this Why, why, why had their lives turned out this way Her mother's life, her own life, why had everything become so unbearable They had never done anything wrong, why were they suffering such a terrible fate

There were no answers... 。When her mother was last resuscitated, she knelt by the door of the operating room, quietly praying. As long as her mother could come back to life, she was willing to exchange 20 years, even 30 years of her own life for her mother's. 。If her mother died, she had no meaning to live. 。Prayers are useless, the doctor in full protective gear waved her off and bowed deeply, offering his sincerest apologies. 。At that moment, all colors vanished from the world. 。She disregarded the doctor's objections and rushed into the operating room, holding her mother's ice-cold body. Her heart was shattered, but not a single tear would fall. 。Mom's body was icy cold. Her already frail frame, having been lying in bed for a week, had become nothing but skin and bones. 。She gently hugged her mother:

"Wake up, look at me." 。"

Tell me one more thing, please, Mom" 。That night, I pushed her wheelchair to the hospital. I didn't even have time to say goodbye, not a single word. My heart was shattered beyond repair, ripped in two. The pain was so intense, so sudden and unexpected. 。

The people from the hospital morgue came, wanting to take Shu Ma to the morgue. Shu Tinglan wouldn't let them touch her. 。I understand your sadness, please accept my condolences, and also please understand our work. 。"Your mother died of pneumonia caused by the flu. It is highly contagious, and she must be cremated immediately. This operating room also needs to be thoroughly disinfected." 。The staff members were also helpless, two of them pulled her away from her mother forcefully, no matter how she struggled, it was useless. 。

Please cooperate with our work 。"The other party roared angrily, pulling her to the side." 。They were so accustomed to life and death that it was difficult for them to empathize with the patients' families. 。。The joys and sorrows of humans are indeed incomprehensible to each other. Shu Tinglan was heartbroken, while the other party simply went through the motions coldly and impersonally. 。She was pulled away, and someone else quickly sprayed disinfectant around her mother, then pushed her towards the morgue. 。Watching the bed being rapidly wheeled away, Shu Tinglan felt dizzy and disoriented. A mouthful of black blood seemed to surge up from his throat before he fainted, becoming unconscious. 。She thought she might have caught the flu too. She ached all over, feeling like she was on fire. 。

My mind is clear, but I can't wake up. I can't open my eyes. 。My mind is filled with the image of Mom's last departure. 。"Mom.." She cried out, jolted awake. She sat up abruptly, straight as a rod. 。 。

“36.5, the fever has subsided” 。The nurse glanced at the thermometer and said 。Shutinglan only felt that her whole body was soaked, probably from the sweat she produced during the process of her high fever breaking. 。"How is my mother" she asked the nurse. 。"After you sign..." The nurse couldn't bear to say the word "cremation." She just added,

"They're waiting for your signature over there. I'll accompany you." 。The nurse, seeing her alone all the time, felt a little sympathy for her. 。Shū Tínglan stayed silent, wanting to hide away and avoid facing this harsh reality. The nurse didn't press her, continuing to record something beside her and occasionally looking up to ask her questions. 。"When was your last menstrual period" Shu Tinglan looked up at her, puzzled. 。You are pregnant, what month and day was your last menstrual period Let me register it for you. 。The nurse saw her pale face and shocked, speechless state and thought to herself, "Here's another woman with a story." 。Last menstrual period

The past two months have been filled with too many ups and downs in both her life and work, so much that she didn't even pay attention to this. 。"It's been two months..." she answered the nurse. 。But how could this happen

She and Zhuo YUAN had always been very careful about contraception. Her career was just starting, and she wasn't ready to be a mother. In this regard, Zhuo YUAN was very respectful of her. Even when they were intimate, he would carefully insist on using 。... just a few times, I got so into it that when it was over, I realized the condom had slipped off sometime during sex....

"The fetus is about three months old, you can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to file a record." 。The nurse calculated and told her the answer. 。Shutinglan unconsciously touched her belly, momentarily unsure whether to feel sadness or joy. 。It's a pity that the child came at the wrong time, destined not to have a father from birth; On the bright side, it seems that everything is fated by destiny. 。She became pregnant right after her mother left. 。This might be what Mom means Find someone to keep her company. 。If that's really the case, then Mom, come into my belly. Come be my daughter and let me take good care of you. 。It must be like this, Mom was afraid she would be lonely, so she accompanied her in another way. 。She wept and laughed, as if possessed, the nurse didn't know how to comfort her seeing her like that. 。"Can you get me a glass of milk" she asked the nurse, determined to get better so her mother would come and take her home as her daughter. 。during class that she didn't quite understand.Zuo Yu'an sat beside her, sitting side by side. Lu Kuo sat opposite them. He said it was to give Lu Kuo a lesson, but in fact, because Zuo Yu'an's textboo...
