Deputy Director Li was stunned. He was busy with the rescue just now and didn't have time to think too much, but now that these two people were standing in front of him, with their fingers clasped together, he had to understand.
However, the most important thing right now is Sisi.
He took off his medical mask and said in a serious tone, "Sisi suffers from congenital heart disease. Because she was rescued in time before being sent to the hospital, she is fine now. However, congenital heart disease is caused by abnormal development of the heart and blood vessels in the fetus.
Cardiovascular malformations are difficult to cure, and 60% of children will die under the age of 1. Congenital heart disease may be related to the mother's disease or medications taken during early pregnancy, and is also related to heredity. I need to understand this first.
situation."
Ye Xingchen held his breath and looked at Lou Xi. He shook his head silently, "Chen Zhou's physical fitness must be good enough. I think Sisi's mother had a problem in the early stages of pregnancy. She found out she was pregnant three days after Chen Zhou's death. Chen Ran
They said that after they learned the news of Chen Zhou's death, the whole family was grieved. Sisi's mother was so shocked that she fainted from crying and then fell ill. She must have taken medicine without knowing she was pregnant.
Already."
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen tightened his lips. This is really a destined tragedy. God not only took away Chen Zhou's life, but also made Sisi suffer from such a disease. There were bruises on Sisi's body. She had not had it before.
She had had an illness before, so it was a latent bruising type of heart disease. The bruising only appeared when doing strenuous activities, crying, holding her breath, or suffering from pneumonia. She thought it was caused by too much exercise in Happy Valley, but this was not the case.
It is a good thing. The earlier congenital heart disease is detected, the better. Sisi is now over 2 years old. This disease is suitable for surgery between 1 and 5 years old. If it is two years later, the heart will increase compensatoryly as she grows up.
, will increase the difficulty of the operation and the postoperative recovery time will be longer.
Deputy Director Li looked at Ye Xingchen. He believed that she understood Sisi's situation, so he didn't say anything more. He just warned, "Please discuss when Sisi will undergo surgery? Will it be surgery or intervention? Go ahead.
Where should it be done? Who should do it? You all need to think clearly about these questions. Sisi's current physical condition is not very good, which will increase the risk of surgery. We will wait until the situation becomes more stable, so you have time to think about it, but not much time.
Understand?"
"Understood!" Ye Xingchen replied on behalf of Lou Xi. She knew all these medical knowledge, and she also understood what Deputy Director Li meant. The military hospital is not the most authoritative hospital for cardiothoracic surgery. Although Deputy Director Li is an elite in this field, because
Due to the work environment, most of the patients he comes into contact with are adults. He has not encountered many cases as young as Sisi. Moreover, children are too young, underweight, and have poor general development and nutritional status.
It will increase the risk of surgery. He told them the situation honestly and objectively, which is a very responsible attitude.
"As long as you understand, I will arrange for Sisi to be hospitalized first, and you can go through the procedures."
"Okay, thank you, Deputy Director Li."
"No need, we are all our own people."
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, Deputy Director Li quickly returned to the emergency room. After a while, the door opened again and Sisi was pushed out.
Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi's eyes tightened at the same time. On the big hospital bed, such a small person was wearing an oxygen mask, and his pale face had no trace of blood.
The two of them ran forward together, stretched out their hands, and wanted to touch the little girl, but she was as fragile as a glass figure, and they did not dare to touch her. Their hands were frozen in mid-air, and their expressions were sad.
"Dr. Ye, go and complete the procedures quickly. We will take Sisi to the ward. Don't worry, we will leave this place to us!" a nurse from the cardiothoracic surgery department said kindly.
Ye Xingchen nodded gratefully, took Lou Xi's hand and turned around to run away.
She was more familiar with the hospital's procedures than he was, but he was more familiar with Sisi's various information than she was, so the two of them worked hand in hand, filling out various forms as quickly as possible, and completing the hospitalization procedures. As you can imagine, in the middle of the night
, the two of them sent Sisi to the hospital together, and hugged each other closely outside the emergency room door, with their fingers clasped tightly. Even the dullest person could understand what was going on. Deputy Director Li’s meaningful eyes before leaving, and other medical staff
The staff also began to whisper, but neither of them had the time to care about it. Nothing was as important as Sisi's health at the moment.
Soon, the hospitalization procedures were completed, and Sisi was arranged into the ward. They stayed by the bedside together, each holding Sisi's little hand.
When they noticed Sisi's shallow breathing and the gentle pulse between her wrists, their hanging hearts finally settled a little, but they all knew that this difficulty had just begun.
Ye Xingchen slowly raised his eyes and asked Xiang Lou Xi, "Should you inform Chen Ran?"
Lou Xi frowned slightly. Yes, although Sisi's custody now belongs to him, Chen Ran is Sisi's biological aunt after all. They are related by blood. Chen Ran has the right to know Sisi's condition, and to visit and take care of Sisi.
The right to think is just...
Regarding the last candy incident, he took into account the blood relationship between Chen Ran and Sisi, and Chen Zhou's face, so he never explained it to her, but looking at it now, it was impossible not to explain it.
"The last time the candy incident had nothing to do with you or Hongyu, it was Chen Ran who deliberately framed you." He said in a deep voice.
What? Chen Ran? Framed?
Ye Xingchen didn't react for a while, but looking at Lou Xi, she suddenly understood that Chen Ran liked him!
No wonder at that time, Chen Ran kept asking her if she liked Lou Xi. It turned out that he was testing her.
Not only did he test her, but he also got involved with Hongyu and told her how Hongyu was not suitable to be Sisi's mother and that she was more suitable. It turned out that it was all a test. In Chen Ran's eyes, maybe no one was suitable because she
I feel that Sisi belongs to her, and I hope that Lou Xi also belongs to her.
She bought candies for Sisi, and Hongyu also bought candies for Sisi, so Chen Ran used her trick. Oh my god, her move was really brilliant. Sisi was poisoned, and Lou Xi spoke indiscriminately in desperation. Hong Yu
Yuqi cried and ran away, and she was severely scolded by him. Chen Ran eliminated the two women around Lou Xi with one move. It was basically killing two birds with one stone, what a deep scheming!
She finally understood why Lou Xi took Sisi to her to take care of her after that. Sisi was very important to him and he would not allow anyone to take advantage of her. It was true that Chen Ran loved Sisi, but
That love was not pure, it was mixed with her personal desires, and Sisi was in the growing stage, when her ability to learn and imitate was strongest. He was afraid that Sisi would be led astray by Chen Ran under his influence.
It’s not surprising that Chen Ran would like Shanglou Xi. He helped the Chen family when they were in the most difficult and helpless time, taking care of her and Sisi. At that time, Chen Ran was just in her freshman year. Girls of eighteen or nineteen were very
Easily moved, Lou Xi is like a big tree, giving her and Sisi something to rely on. It's normal for her to be tempted, but... is a woman's jealousy really so terrible? So terrible that she doesn't hesitate to take advantage of her.
Little Sisi?
"Lou Xi, are you disappointed?" she asked him suddenly.
Lou Xi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would say this. A warm current of understanding suddenly surged in his heart. Yes, he was very disappointed. When he met Chen Ran, she could only be considered a big child. She
It is normal to not have the ability to take care of Sisi independently. He can understand it, so he adopted Sisi. In the past two years, he has always regarded Chen Ran as a big child, but he ignored it. While Sisi grew up,
Chen Ran also grew up. She began to have scheming ideas and was no longer naive. She also used her methods on Sisi and used her brains on him. He was disappointed, but he was glad that he discovered it in time. Fortunately, he did not make a big mistake.
He still had time to take Sisi by his side and take care of her so that she could grow up healthily, not only physically but also mentally.
"I'm sorry, I should have said this a long time ago." He asked in a deep voice.
Regarding this matter, he has always had a knot in his heart. He doesn't like to owe anyone. He will never run away from the mistakes he has made, but he is really not easy to talk about it. Chen Ran is
Sisi's biological aunt is Chen Zhou's biological sister. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to quarrel with her, let alone talk behind her back.
Ye Xingchen suddenly understood. In fact, she had been blaming herself for the candy incident, but she didn't know how to explain it. Now she finally understands the truth. Her self-blame is gone, but she has more thoughts.
I feel heartbroken and understand him.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Sisi is fine." She tried her best to smile.
"Then I'll notify Chen Ran, you have to be mentally prepared." He reminded her.
"Yeah." She nodded slightly.
Lou Xi got up and went to the corridor to make a phone call, but he didn't want Chen Ran's phone to be turned off, even in the middle of the night.
He turned around and went back to the ward, but suddenly stopped at the door. When he raised his eyes, he saw her tucking Sisi into bed, with such gentle movements and such gentle expression, his heartstrings suddenly trembled again.
She is a good mother and will definitely be good to their own children in the future. No, wait, wait, what is he thinking? Their own children?
No, now is not the time to think about that.
He shook his head to get rid of stray thoughts.

The next morning, the sun rose, and the morning light shone in through the gaps in the curtains. Ye Xingchen woke up sleepy and found herself leaning on Lou Xi's arms. She moved her stiff neck, sat up straight, and raised her head.
I saw his tired handsome face, his eyebrows were a little heavy, there were a few bloodshot streaks under his eyes, and the new green stubble on his chin made him look even more haggard.
"You didn't sleep all night?" she asked almost certainly.
Lou Xi did not answer, but pointed to Sisi on the hospital bed, "She is much better."
Ye Xingchen saw that Sisi's intravenous drip bottle had been removed. He felt comforted but also blamed himself. Sisi needed two bottles of fluid last night. They agreed that each person would take one bottle, but she fell asleep immediately.
, the medicine for the heart must be administered very slowly, and Sisi's condition must be paid attention to at all times. He must not have slept for a minute. She noticed that the bags under his eyes were very deep and heavy.
"You should have called me," she muttered.
He still didn't speak.
She quickly got up and took a look at Sisi's condition. She was indeed much better, but her chubby little face had lost weight overnight, and the pink color had disappeared, leaving only a slight paleness.
"Have you informed Chen Ran?" She turned around and asked,
Lou Xi suddenly frowned, "The phone still can't be connected. I'll go to her school to check on her later and pick her up by the way."
"Yes." She nodded and added, "Then I will go and communicate with Deputy Director Li first and listen to his opinions and suggestions."
"Okay, let's ask him what he wants first. When Chen Ran comes, we will decide on the surgery-related matters."
"good."
The two reached an agreement and asked a nurse to take care of Sisi first, and then they separated.
◎◎◎
Ye Xingchen simply washed her face and took a few deep breaths before she mustered up the courage to step out of the ward. She was mentally prepared for the strange looks and comments she was about to face.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped into the corridor, she immediately noticed that something was obviously wrong in the air. All eyes fell on her, with curiosity, suspicion, and even jealousy.
She thought that she would be the focus of everyone's attention today. After all, there were not many people in the hospital last night, but it was different during the day. It is estimated that everyone knows about her and Lou Xi now.
That’s all, paper can’t stop the fire, it’s just that this method is a bit too bad.
She bit her lip slightly, straightened her back, and walked straight to Deputy Director Li's office.
Dangdang——
She knocked lightly on the door and after hearing a "come in", she pushed the door open and entered.
"Deputy Director Li, I..." As soon as she started to speak, she suddenly paused. There was another person in the office, Jing Sa!
There is no place in life where we don’t meet each other.
"Xingchen, you came just in time. I was just looking for you. I have good news to tell you. This Miss Jing Sa is the incoming vice president of our hospital. She specializes in cardiothoracic surgery and is a postdoctoral fellow. She has rich experience abroad.
Clinical experience, especially surgeries for children..." Deputy Director Li said happily.
