Chapter 1363 Go to the hospital
Seventeen was a little confused. Zhou Haoyu was beaten?
isn't it?
"I won't go. I'm not a doctor. If Brother Xiaoquan is in Beijing, I can help you drag Brother Xiaoquan to check on the situation. I..." Seventeen knew that this seemed unkind, but after all, he was hurt too deeply by that person and didn't want to have any contact with him anymore.
Zhou Lan'er practically begged, "My brother is already like this, Qiqi, do you have to be so heartless? The doctor said he was seriously injured. He was rushed to the hospital last night and just woke up today. His condition is very grim. I just wanted to see you, Miss Zhuang. After all, we've known each other for so many years. Isn't it enough to invite you to the hospital for this little friendship?"
Seventeen didn't say anything. Wasn't she clear enough on Christmas Eve?
She'd said she'd considered Zhou Haoyu dead. The man who'd returned, and the womanizer, weren't people she knew. Since she didn't know them, why was she meddling? What did his life or death have to do with her? To her, he was just a stranger. There were so many strangers in the world, and if everyone needed her care, wouldn't that make her a savior?
"Qiqi," Seventeen remained silent. Zhou Lan'er became anxious and raised her voice quite a bit. "Zhuang Shiqi, I know what you're worried about. You're worried that my brother will ruin your wonderful life, right? Don't you think about your current situation? You're a pregnant woman with a bulging belly. Do you think your current looks can charm my brother? Who would be so perverted as to fall for a pregnant woman? What my brother is worried about is not his feelings for you, but the mistakes he made in the past. I find it really funny that you're hiding like this. You really think too highly of yourself. Do you think that with my brother's status and ability, he can find a beautiful young woman? Do you think he can't find one?"
Zhou Lan'er was truly enraged. How could there be such a heartless woman? Did her brother still care about a woman who had been married twice?
The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China sighed, well, this method of provoking is very effective.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look." Seventeen agreed. But is she actually useful?
Forget it. I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I might as well take a walk. My daughter doesn’t want to go out after not going out for a few days. I think the little one must be feeling suffocated.
After arriving at the hospital, Seventeen called Zhou Lan'er and then went upstairs.
The entire Zhou family was present. Thanks to his family's capable care, Mr. Zhou had recovered after three years and was able to stand again, though his movements were not as agile as before the stroke. Mrs. Zhou was crying beside Zhou Haoyu's bed, while Lu Jiang and Zhou Lan'er stood a little further away.
Seventeen stood outside the ward, looking at the two old people sitting in front of the bed, his eyes slowly falling to the ground.
Who isn't born of their parents? She also has a mother. Looking at the Zhou family elders reminded her of her own mother guarding Zhuang Shiyuan's bedside. Seventeen sighed softly. When someone in the family is hospitalized, the whole family is worried.
After all, she was going to be a mother herself, so Seventeen felt sympathy for her.
His hand gently stroked the belly, and Bubbles were moving inside. Seventeen's palm was placed on the lower part of the belly, and he could clearly feel Bubbles' heartbeat.
Mother is just a simple noun, but the meaning it represents is not simple. It is such a heartwarming meaning that makes women full of strength and responsibility.
Seventeen stood outside for a long time, but didn't want to disturb the family, so he simply sat down on a chair in the corridor.
The door of the ward opened, and Zhou Lan'er and Lu Jiang walked out. They saw Seventeen sitting outside. Zhou Lan'er called out, "Qiqi!"
Seventeen raised his eyes, and Lu Jiang also looked over. Seventeen supported himself with the chair before standing up.
"Qiqi, you're here. Go in and see my brother. He keeps calling your name." Zhou Lan'er's eyes were red, and she seemed really anxious.
Seventeen nodded slowly. Lu Jiang looked at Seventeen and whispered, "I'll go in with you."
"Thank you, brother." Seventeen said. Lu Jiang smiled and patted Seventeen's shoulder gently. "Don't worry."
Seventeen nodded. She wasn't the one who was worried. She just felt a little sympathetic towards the Zhou family. For elderly parents, what could be more devastating than the thought of their own child dying? This was simply torture.
Lu Jiang pushed the door open and walked in. Seventeen followed behind him. Mrs. Zhou and Father Zhou turned around and looked out.
Seventeen forced a smile and greeted, "Mom and Dad, I'm here to see Haoyu."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Seventeen with a mixture of cruelty and joy in her eyes. After all, Zhou Haoyu had indeed been calling Seventeen's name.
After a long while, Mrs. Zhou stood up and made way. "Come on, thank you for coming to see Haoyu. If he knew, he would be very happy..."
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were filled with tears, and the moment she spoke, they immediately rolled down her cheeks. Behind Seventeen, Zhou Lan'er quickly helped her mother out.
"Let Qiqi stay with big brother for a while. Big brother will wake up soon when he knows Qiqi is here. Don't worry, he will be fine." Zhou Lan'er whispered.
Mrs. Zhou walked out crying, and Lu Jiang helped Zhou's father out as well. Only Seventeen and Zhou Haoyu were left in the ward.
Seventeen looked back at the closed door. Aren’t they afraid that she would pull out Zhou Haoyu’s oxygen mask?
Seventeen sat down, and a moment later Zhou Haoyu actually woke up. He looked at Seventeen with a hazy gaze, and Seventeen felt a faint pity. After all, this man was her first, a man who had given her so many wonderful memories. Although it was already in the past, she hoped more that this man would have a new life like her, and that he would be healthy in the future after having suffered such a great setback, instead of lying lifeless in a hospital bed like he was now.
Zhou Haoyu raised his hand slightly. Seventeen's eyes fell on Zhou Haoyu's wrinkled hand. She was slightly stunned. Zhou Haoyu's hand was like a dead branch with only a layer of skin covering the back of his hand. There was a little finger missing on his hand. The torn flesh and blood veins could be vaguely seen on the back of his hand. There was only a little bit of original skin, uneven on his hand.
Seventeen's eyes were filled with tears as he watched, and the thrilling scene from three years ago reappeared in his memory.
“Haoyu…”
Seventeen gently held Zhou Haoyu's hand. How could this happen?
"Can this be restored?" Seventeen asked softly.
No wonder Qi Yao said Zhou Haoyu's surgery wouldn't be easy to recover from. The repeated surgeries would likely take four to five years to complete, as he has very little intact skin left. This essentially means he's been grafting his entire body. Furthermore, if the transplanted skin doesn't fit his natural skin, it'll have to be redone. Such extensive surgery can even be life-threatening. Skin is the body's largest organ, so while removing a piece of flesh might not be a problem, removing the entire body is much more complex.
