"It's you..." Her voice was weak, and in her head, which had a splitting headache, memories slowly came back to life, about that phone call, about the gasping sound on the phone, about the car accident!
"You're awake." Tong Leyan's expression remained unchanged, but Shen Ke vaguely remembered that he saved her.
"Thank you."
She subconsciously wanted to move her leg, but Tong Leyan held her down: "Don't move, you have two screws in your leg. The doctor said that you can do surgery to remove them after they heal."
Shen Ke nodded and then felt that one of his legs was almost numb.
Zhong Lan waited for seven or eight hours in a row. At this time, he fell asleep while sitting. After being woken up by the nurse, he rushed in wearing a blanket: "Coco!"
"Mom...you're crying." Shen Ke weakly raised a hand and put it on his mother's face.
Zhong Lan's eyes turned red again.
"How come you know how to drive by yourself? How about Mr. Xi? How could he let you be alone... He clearly knows that your eyesight is bad..."
Shen Ke's eyes darkened, then he looked at Tong Leyan beside him, and lowered his voice to comfort his mother: "It's okay, am I not fine?"
"You have a broken leg and you still call it okay?" Zhong Lan was so angry that he suddenly came to his senses and grabbed Shen Ke's hand tightly, "Daughter, tell the truth, did you and Mr. Xi have a quarrel? Otherwise, such a big thing would happen to you. Why didn't he come to see you?"
Shen Ke pursed her lips, as if she didn't want to speak. Tong Leyan saw that she didn't want her elders to worry, so she said, "I didn't inform Mr. Xi. Auntie, Shen Ke is out of danger now. She just woke up from the operation." She must be very tired, don't disturb her, let her rest for a while."
Zhong Lan looked deeply at Shen Ke and walked out reluctantly.
Tong Leyan fell behind. After everyone else walked out, he put his hand on the doorknob but did not put it on. Instead, he turned around and asked Shen Ke: "Is there really no need to notify him?"
Shen Ke turned his head and looked out the window for a long time before replying: "That's it, I want to be alone for a while."
Tong Leyan understood clearly. Although he didn't know what happened between Shen Ke and Xi Xiangdong, she was still focused on following Xi Xiangdong during dinner. At this moment, her heart was filled with despair. It was obvious that something happened on the way back. When he used Shen Ke's mobile phone to call Zhong Lan, he saw that her last phone call before the incident was with Xi Xiangdong.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from my aunt that you have an eye disease? I know some experts in this field..."
"It's not the eyes," Shen Ke interrupted him suddenly, and then pointed to his head calmly, "It's here. There is something compressing the optic nerve."
Tong Leyan was startled.
What usually grows in the head is a tumor?

In the evening, the traffic station reported a car accident. Such things happened several times every day in the city, but Xi Xiangdong didn't pay attention.
He drove the Spyker like a beast breaking through the flood, searching for traces of Shen Ke in the heavy rain. All night long, he had completely lost his cool. Her phone was turned off and she called Tong Leyao. Tong Leyao said she had finished eating. After dinner, she drove back by herself. He went to Zhong Lan's house and knocked on the door, but the door was locked and no one answered the door.
Shen Ke rarely disappears like this without saying hello. The only two times he did this were once to recover his memory and the other time to disappear inexplicably after being kidnapped.
Thinking of the two previous heart-piercing pains, he felt an inexplicable suffocation in his chest, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands to clutch his chest.
