The day after meeting Guan's mother, Qu Ranran fell ill.
This is how people are, when they are fragile, their bodies also become fragile...
When Manager Chen learned that she was ill, he gave her two days of leave and asked her to have a good rest at home.
On the first day when she was sick and lying in bed, Guan's mother called her. She knew what Guan's mother wanted to say to her, so she never answered it. The next day, there was no call from Guan's mother.
Call again.
The next afternoon, Qiao Che came...
Qiao Che might have seen her not leaving the house for two days, so he came to see her. Who would have thought that he would see her sickly.
“Sit wherever you want!”
Holding her forehead and opening the door, Qu Ranran said weakly to Qiao Che.
When Qiao Che saw Qu Ranran's sick but flushed face, he quickly supported her shaky body and naturally touched her forehead with his hand, "God, why is your forehead so hot?"
"I'm fine..." Qu Ranran took away Qiao Che's hand and tried to walk into the room, but her weak body became unstable after taking a few steps.
Seeing the situation, Qiao Che rushed over in time, hugged Qu Ranran's weak body that almost collapsed, and asked nervously, "With a fever like this, have you taken medicine?"
Qu Ranran shook his head, "I want to sleep..."
At this second, Qiao Che picked up Qu Ranran.
…
When Qiao Che sent Qu Ranran to the hospital, her consciousness was gradually blurring, so he sent Qu Ranran to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Qiao Che originally thought that Qu Ranran's fever would subside soon, but who would have thought that Qu Ranran's fever would not subside until the night when he was hospitalized.
Fortunately, Qu Ranran's body temperature finally dropped in the second half of the night, but it would take time for the fever to completely subside...
Qiao Che always stayed by the hospital bed, always observing her physical condition.
In the middle of the night, the nurse pushed open the door and walked in with an intravenous drip.
The nurse originally wanted to change Qu Ranran's intravenous drip, but she didn't expect that Qiao Che was still in the ward. She suddenly blushed and called, "Doctor Qiao."
You must know that Qiao Che has become the fantasy of all the female compatriots in the hospital since he was transferred to this hospital, so these little nurses can't help but blush every time they see him.
Qiao Che made a shushing gesture to the little nurse.
The little nurse nodded immediately and walked quietly to the bedside to change Qu Ranran's drip.
Because Qu Ranran came to the hospital frequently, the nurse also knew that Qu Ranran was Qiao Che's friend. At first, everyone doubted the relationship between Qu Ranran and Qiao Che, but later they heard Dr. Lin say that Qu Ranran had a husband.
So I gave up the idea of treating Qu Ranran as a love rival, but the nervous way Qiao Che carried Qu Ranran to the hospital today, and the considerate way Qiao Che stayed by Qu Ranran's side all night, made me stand at this moment.
The little nurse behind Qiao Che was a little jealous and couldn't help but said, "Doctor Qiao, it's late, why don't you go back to the lounge to rest?"
Qiao Che sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Qu Ranran's face that was flushed with body heat while she was sleeping. He replied softly, "I'll wait for her fever to subside before going to sleep."
"Dr. Qiao, you stayed up late last night to perform operations on patients, and you were busy with hospital affairs during the day. If you don't sleep tonight, how will you have the energy to go to work tomorrow?"
"It's okay, you can go out!"
The little nurse pouted, but she still said obediently, "Okay, I'll be on duty tonight, just call me if you need anything."
When the nurse turned to leave, Qiao Che suddenly said, "Xiao Xi, please help me twist a wet towel..."
The little nurse turned around reluctantly, maintaining her obedience in front of Qiao Che, and nodded, "Okay."
But after a while, the little nurse came to the ward with a basin of water and a wet towel...
Qiao Che put his hand on Qu Ranran's forehead and found that the heat was still astonishing. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, twisted the towel himself and applied it to Qu Ranran's forehead...
Qu Ranran slept uneasily. When Qiao Che put the wet towel on her forehead, she suddenly grabbed Qiao Che's hand.
Qiao Che called out softly, "Ran Ran..."
Qu Ranran seemed to be immersed in a dream. She shook her head in pain, held Qiao Che's hand tightly, and murmured in her sleep, "Please don't leave me..."
Qiao Che sat down on the edge of the bed and replied softly, "I will never leave you."
"I don't want our child...Guan Hao..."
When he heard the word "Guan Hao" escape from Qu Ranran's mouth, Qiao Che's pupils narrowed slightly and his eyes were half-squinted.
Qu Ranran had been talking in her sleep, and Qiao Che had been looking at her without saying a word.
She had obviously suppressed all the emotions in reality in her sleep. The grievances, sourness, discomfort, pain... all showed up in the tears that slipped out of the corners of her eyes.
Qiao Che, who couldn't bear the tears of a woman the most, stood up. He took out the hand held by Qu Ranran and turned around to change Qu Ranran's towel. Who would have thought that when he turned around, Qu Ranran suddenly stood up from behind.
hugged him...
Qu Ranran's catkins were tightly wrapped around Qiao Che's waist, making him startled slightly.
"Don't leave me, I can't live without you..."
Qiao Che gently pulled Qu Ranran's hand away and turned around.
Sure enough, Qu Ranran, who was still asleep, slowly fell back on the bed because his hand was released...
Qiao Che frowned and looked at Qu Ranran's face that was wet with tears, and he seemed to be able to feel the force with which she hugged him.
Qu Ranran muttered a few words in her dream, and then slowly became quiet again...
Qiao Che pulled the quilt for her and walked out of the ward.
The sound of the nurse opening the curtains slowly woke up Qu Ranran in the hospital bed...
When she opened her eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling and white walls, Qu Ranran's consciousness was still a little chaotic.
The nurse heard Qu Ranran's noise and came over. She helped Qu Ranran, who was struggling to get up, sit up gently and said hello, "Miss Qu, you're awake!"
Qu Ranran leaned on the soft pillow and asked, "Am I in the hospital?"
The head nurse smiled and replied, "Yes, Dr. Qiao sent you to the hospital yesterday."
Qu Ranran began to recall what happened yesterday in her mind, and she vaguely remembered the scene when Qiao Che rushed her to the hospital.
"What about Dr. Qiao?"
"He took care of you all night. In the morning, he saw that your fever had gone away, so you went to rest now."
"oh."
"Ms. Qu, are you hungry? Dr. Qiao has bought you porridge early in the morning. I'll heat it up in the microwave for you and you can eat it."
Qu Ranran's stomach was already empty after not eating for almost two days. She nodded lightly, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome." The head nurse then walked out of the ward.
…
Qu Ranran leaned on the bed, naturally not knowing what happened last night, and what flashed through her mind was the scene of her meeting with Guan's mother.
Qu Ranran bit her lip uncomfortably, feeling soreness rising in her throat.
Glancing at it, he saw that his cell phone was on the bedside table. Qu Ranran reached out and took it over.
She originally wanted to reply to Guan's mother and call her, but she accidentally saw a piece of news displayed on the screen of her mobile phone.
"Haotian" Group President Guan Hao took his girlfriend on vacation in the island country...
On such a small screen, the title of this news seemed to be magnified, and it caught her eyes so easily.
She held her phone and looked at him holding Qiao Si walking on the dusk coast on the screen. Although it was just their backs, it felt like a hole had been opened in her heart, and she felt a tearing pain.
At this time, the head nurse came in with a bowl of hot porridge...
Qu Ranran's eyes were still on the screen of her mobile phone.
The head nurse carefully handed the porridge to Qu Ranran and said kindly, "Miss Qu, drink it while it's hot...it's very nutritious porridge!"
The absent-minded Qu Ranran did not respond to the head nurse.
"Miss Qu..." the head nurse called again.
Qu Ranran, who finally came out of her trance, put down her phone and awkwardly took the porridge brought by the head nurse, "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, drink it while it's hot."
"Thanks."
After the head nurse left, Qu Ranran stared blankly at the porridge in the bowl.
She had no appetite at all and originally wanted to force herself to drink the bowl of porridge, but after taking a sip, the bitter taste in her mouth made her unable to drink it anymore.
The photo she saw on her phone was still in her mind. She put the porridge on the bedside table blankly. Perhaps she was in a daze and didn't notice that she hadn't put it down properly. The whole bowl of porridge actually disappeared the moment she let go.
Fell to the ground...
This was what Qiao Che happened to see when he came in.
Qu Ranran was startled by the sound of the bowl falling. She stood up and was about to get out of bed to pick up the pieces of the bowl, but Qiao Che's voice had already come, "Don't get up, the nurse will clean it up."
When Qu Ranran raised her eyes and looked over, Qiao Che was already in front of her.
As soon as Qiao Che came, he put his hand on her forehead and asked, "Do you feel okay now?"
Qu Ranran nodded slightly.
Qiao Che also said "Yeah" and said, "It feels like the fever is gone."
Qu Ranran leaned on the bed again and said, "Thank you for sending me to the hospital yesterday."
Qiao Che's usually gentle face turned serious at this moment, "You didn't even know you came to the hospital when you were sick?"
"I've taken medicine at home..."
"Taking medicine cannot guarantee that the fever will go away. If the fever does not go away, you must come to the hospital in time. Even if you do not come to the hospital in time, please remember that there is a doctor living next to you."
"I thought it was okay..."
Qiao Che frowned and said, "If Manager Chen hadn't told me, and I was busy with hospital affairs these days, would you have died at home?"
"Hey..." Qu Ranran complained, "I managed to get rid of my fever, and you still blame me."
"I just hope you know how to take care of yourself."
Qu Ranran lowered her head and muttered, "I'm not a child..."
Qiao Che sighed helplessly, "Forget it, your body is your own. If you don't care about it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Qu Ranran was like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to look at Qiao Che's angry eyes.
"You didn't drink the porridge either, aren't you hungry?"
"I accidentally knocked it over..."
"I'll buy you a new one..."
"No, I'll go get something to eat after I'm discharged from the hospital..."
Qiao Che said seriously, "Who said you would be discharged from the hospital later?"
Qu Ranran raised her eyes suddenly, "Shouldn't I be discharged from the hospital? I'm already fine!"
Qiao Che said coldly, "You have to stay in the hospital for another day of nutritional injections. My body is in such a state of ruin and I don't know how to take care of it."
"I……"
"Go to sleep again and I'll buy you some porridge."
Qiao Che couldn't help but get up and walk out of the ward.
"Hey, Doctor Qiao..."
Qiao Che turned around impatiently, "Don't tell me you don't want to stay in the hospital!!"
The words Qu Ranran wanted to blurt out were swallowed because of Qiao Che's warning, and she immediately changed it to, "I want to say thank you for taking care of me." According to the head nurse, he didn't do anything last night.
He went to bed and came to see her again. She didn't know how to say thank you to him.
Qiao Che didn't say anything and left directly.
…
After the nurse swept away the debris on the floor and left, silence returned to the ward.
She was actually not in a good state. Her cheerful mood in front of Qiao Che just now was just because she didn't want Qiao Che to worry about her...
She took out her phone and looked at the news again. Compared to the pain that tore her heart just now, her mood had calmed down a lot.
Not allowing herself to continue thinking wildly, she took a deep breath and called Guan's mother back.
Guan's mother seemed to have been waiting for her to call. The moment she almost got through, she pressed the answer button, "Ran Ran!"
"Aunt, I'm sorry, I lost my temper that day..."
"It's okay, where are you now?"
"I...I have a day off today, I'm at home."
Guan's mother said happily, "Well, let's meet again!"
Qu Ranran pressed the mobile phone to her ear, looking slightly dazed towards the quiet environment of the hospital outside the glass window, and said slowly, "Auntie, I know what you want to say to me... In fact, from the moment I chose to separate from Guan Hao
From the beginning, the grievances of the previous generation have ended in my heart, so I will not pursue my father’s affairs anymore..."
She is already very tired, so let everything end here!
Guan's mother listened silently.
Qu Ranran paused and continued, "I know you feel sorry for Yu An without his mother, but I know that you and Guan Hao will try their best to give him a good childhood..."
Guan's mother, who finally caught the clue, asked nervously, "Ranran, do you mean you don't plan to return to Guan Hao?"
Qu Ranran's plain eyes looking out the window felt a trace of pain at this moment. She kept calm and said, "After half a year, he and I have changed... I think he and I have adapted to the new life.
We can no longer blend in with each other."
"It doesn't matter whether you blend in or not, as long as you still care about the other person."
"Aunt, I..."
Guan's mother interrupted Qu Ranran anxiously, "Don't lie to me and say you don't care about Guan Hao anymore... You know you can't hide this from me."
As a woman, she has also been tortured by emotions all her life. How could Guan's mother not know the feeling of loving someone?
Qu Ranran did not deny it, but she also did not answer Guan's mother.
Guan Yu persuaded earnestly, "Can you really bear to watch Yu An grow up alone in a family without a mother?"
Qu Ranran slowly lowered his eyes, "He will not be alone. Guan Hao will not let him lack maternal love."
"Ran Ran, no matter how good other mothers are, they can't be as good as my own mother..."
Qu Ranran swallowed the bitterness in her throat and choked out, "But Guan Hao and I are no longer possible..."
"How is it impossible?"
"He's with Joss, isn't he?"
"Do you think you'll lose to Joss?"
Qu Ranran closed her eyes in pain, "Qiao Si is indeed more suitable for him than me..."
Guan's mother spit out directly, "But she is not Yu'an's mother!"
Qu Ranran shook her head sadly, "I never thought about it..."
"Do you think Guan Hao might not care about you anymore?"
"No, Auntie, I..." She never had the courage to speak out about her physical condition.
"Ran Ran, if you come to the villa now... I guarantee that after you come to the villa, you will never doubt Guan Hao's feelings for you again."
Only when there is no attachment can people achieve true freedom and ease. But when attachment can never be eliminated from your world, you will only get further and further away from freedom and ease...
In the garden of the villa, Qu Ranran stared blankly at the sea of flowers in his sight.
Guan's mother stood next to Qu Ranran and said softly, "Do you still remember that half a year ago, you mentioned to Guan Hao that you liked star flowers, and you also said that you really wanted star flowers to grow here.
…”
Yes, the purple patch in front of me is the sea of stars and flowers.
The star flower bloomed very brilliantly, and the flower ends fluttered in the wind, like waves, which was so beautiful.
Tears had already slipped out of Qu Ranran's eyes, and she cried out, "Is this going to be a swimming pool?"
"It wasn't until I came back to live in the villa this time that I realized that Guan Hao didn't build a swimming pool. He carefully created this surprise for you."
"But the soil here is impossible to grow this kind of flower..."
Guan's mother explained, "I asked the housekeeper and the housekeeper said that Guan Hao used a plane to transport soil suitable for planting this flower from abroad..."
Tears had blurred Qu Ranran's eyes, and she was so sour that she could no longer speak...
Guan's mother also had tears in her eyes and sighed softly, "Go find him..."
