She almost ran all the way to the door of her mother's ward. Lin Ruoxi held her chest with one hand, leaned her back against the wall, raised her head and panted heavily.
She stood outside the door for a long time, until her breathing stabilized, then she patted her face, opened the door and walked in.
The ward was quiet except for the sounds of various instruments.
On the hospital bed, Mother Lin was lying there with her eyes closed, quietly and motionless. If it weren't for the beeping sound of the instrument inserted into her body, indicating that she still had weak vital signs, Lin Ruoxi would almost think that her mother was really
He has left her and gone to another world.
The oxygen mask covered most of her face, which made Mrs. Lin even more skinny and extremely thin. As Lin Ruoxi looked at it, she felt heart-wrenching pain, and tears filled her eyes.
Mother Lin had a bottle hanging in one of her hands.
She took her mother's other hand. It was thin and withered, with dry and wrinkled skin, just bones. After seeing the rows of needle holes on it and the large areas of purple and black around it, her nose felt sour and she couldn't help it anymore.
With tears in his eyes, he burst into tears.
"Mom...Mom..." She choked and lay down in front of the bed. Her tear-stained face was buried in the white sheets, and her thin shoulders were shaking from sobbing.
As if she was distressed and anxious because of her mother's condition, and as if she was venting her grievances, Lin Ruoxi cried wantonly, letting her tears fall down in waves, soaking the sheets.
Mom, please wake up quickly. If you don't get up, your daughter will never be happy.
The crying sound of "woo woo" lasted for the whole morning. Eventually, the tears dried up and only the sobs remained.
At noon, a nurse came over to change the dressing. She seemed to be frightened when she saw a woman with disheveled hair and tears on her face lying in front of the patient's bed.
Lin Ruoxi also felt embarrassed.
She touched her face randomly and stood up from the bed, smiling at the nurse. Just as she was about to say something, her cell phone rang.
The unfamiliar melody was not the ring tone she was used to. Lin Ruoxi was stunned for two seconds before she realized what was happening. There was no caller ID displayed on the screen, but she knew who the caller was without even thinking.
She quickly walked out of the ward and pressed the call button. Before she could even say "hello" on her lips, a man's deep voice immediately sounded over there...
"In the hospital." A very firm statement.
Lin Ruoxi was a little surprised, but then she was relieved. She was a bird kept by a man in a cage. Even if she came out to let loose, there was a rope attached to her, so her whereabouts could not escape his eyes. So she said "hmm" and whispered: "I'll do it.
Look at mom."
Because she had just cried bitterly, she spoke with a dull nasal voice. The people over there couldn't help but frown, "What's wrong with you?!"
Lin Ruoxi sniffed, not wanting to explain more, so she said perfunctorily: "It's okay, my nose feels uncomfortable."
"Oh." Tang Hongxuan didn't pursue the question, and just said calmly: "Go out to eat with me at noon."
Lin Ruoxi frowned. She actually wanted to stay here with her mother until tonight. After a pause, she asked him obediently in a low voice, "When?"
"Now, I'm just outside the hospital."
…………
When they were still some distance away from the door, they saw a black Bentley parked on the road outside the hospital. It was the car that the man often sat in. It was in an even position, just blocking the middle of the door.
Lin Ruoxi thought that this man's arrogance has probably penetrated into his bones. That's why he can be so arrogant and arrogant to the point of being alone.
Tang Hongxuan was resting his head with one hand on his forehead and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the car door. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lin Ruoxi's big eyes, which were watery, red and swollen, like goldfish.
Immediately he frowned and stretched out his hand to pull the person closer. He was a little unhappy and asked, "Can an uncomfortable nose also make the eyes uncomfortable and swollen?"
Lin Ruoxi actually didn't want men to see her in such a grievance and embarrassment. When she came out, she went to the bathroom to wash her face, and specially wetted the paper towel with cold water and froze her eyes. But she cried all morning.
, my eyes are so swollen that I can’t get rid of them.
The man held her chin and lifted it gently.
There was an unconcealable sharpness in the depths of his dark eyes, which made people dare not look at them. As soon as Lin Ruoxi touched them, she immediately lowered her eyes.
"Baby, why are you crying? Tell me, who provoked you?" Tang Hongxuan's voice was low and caring, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words.
However, Lin Ruoxi's mood at this time continued to be aggrieved and bitter, and she did not hear the underlying message. "My mother is like that, and I feel uncomfortable..." She choked up again as she spoke.
The man let out a low sigh, let go of her chin, held her in his arms, and patted her gently, "Stop crying, be good. I'll ask Jenifer to try new medicine tomorrow. You have to have confidence that everything will be fine."
"Be good..." Then he gently placed his chin on the top of her head and closed his eyes gently.
Tang Hongxuan stopped talking, and Lin Ruoxi naturally fell silent. The two sat hugging each other, and for a while, a strange peace and tranquility seemed to flow in the quiet car.
After a long time, the man's deep voice broke the silence in the car, "Did you just meet Wang Xiuying?" He immediately explained casually, "She is Xiao Shuai's mother. I thought she said something to you."
Lin Ruoxi's heart suddenly suddenly felt uneasy. She vaguely understood the man's thoughts... Since he knew every move she made, what Tang Hongxuan wanted was her frank attitude. She was not sure how he would react if she told her. But.
If it is really secretive, it may arouse the man's anger even more.
Her melodious tone sounded softly, "She didn't say anything to me." She pursed her lips and paused for a while, then slowly and cautiously added, "I also met Xiao Shuai." Again anxiously.
He hurriedly explained, "I didn't say anything to him, really!"
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, waiting for the man's anger.
But Tang Hongxuan surprisingly didn't react at all, and she couldn't even find a trace of displeasure on his face. He frowned, took her hand, put it on his forehead, and snorted: "Headache.
"
Tang Hongxuan met with Fang Wenyue last night and went straight to the company after leaving the night. In addition to being overloaded with reviewing a large number of documents, he also held two video conferences in a row. It was not until this morning that he could just relax. Continuous high-intensity work, indeed
Give him a headache.
His jump was so great that Lin Ruoxi couldn't react. After being stunned for a moment, she moved her fingers to his temples obediently and gently rotated and massaged them. She couldn't guess what the man was thinking.
But my mother's life is in his hands, so follow him as much as possible, and you will never go wrong.
The slender fingertips are slightly cool, and the shallow pressure is gentle and gentle. It is indescribably comfortable and very useful to the man.
Tang Hongxuan closed his eyes in contentment, a sigh escaped from his thin lips, and he waved his hand to the driver in front of him.
When the car started, Lin Ruoxi heard the man say in a low voice, "Ruoxi, when you have the chance someday, you can cook for me."
