The girl accompanying him in the ward quickly noticed Gu Jingqi, who was behind the group.
She looked surprised at first, then quickly returned to normal. She greeted the doctors who were doing rounds politely and answered their questions.
Because the patient on the hospital bed could not speak clearly and could not express his feelings, his family members had to answer for him.
Gao Lan looked at the patient's surgical wounds and the various testing equipment on the bedside table.
Chao asked the family member, "You are the patient's daughter, right?"
"Yes, Director."
Ding Ning, with a pair of panda eyes, replied hurriedly and politely.
"Your mother's condition is more complicated, but there is no problem with the broken leg. The operation was also successful. She will be fine after three months of rest. However, other problems may need to be taken seriously and treated properly."
Gao Lan asked, "There was a car accident before, right?"
"Yes, my mother was in a car accident a year and a half ago and injured her brain. She has been unable to take care of herself for more than a year and cannot speak clearly. I originally brought her to Bincheng to seek medical treatment.
I didn’t take good care of her on the road.”
When Ding Ning said this, her tone was full of self-blame.
"I will rest in the orthopedic surgery department first. If there are no problems in a few days, I can be discharged from the hospital or transferred to the neurology department for treatment."
Gao Lanchao, the resident doctor who took the record, Gu Jingqi, said, "After today's infusion, I'm going to take a X-ray to see how the steel plate is fixed. In addition, I need to take anti-thrombotic drugs. I can't move while lying down to prevent thrombosis."
After the ward round, Ding Ning chased after her and thanked her profusely.
"Thank you, thank you."
Gu Jingqi walked at the back. He wanted to say something to her, but there was still work to do next.
The director's ward rounds were not over yet. Before leaving, he glanced at Ding Ning for the first time, and then followed the large team out of the ward.
After the routine ward rounds in the morning, the chief physicians went to the outpatient clinic.
Gu Jingqi has a lot of work to complete in the inpatient department.
There was no time to see Ding Ning.
I don't even have time to think about her.
By the time he finished all his work, it was almost noon.
He stretched his arms, stood up, and went to the ward where Ding Ning's father was.
Ding Ning was sitting in front of the hospital bed, using a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten her mother's lips.
After Gu Jingqi came in, the patient in the next bed greeted him.
Ding Ning heard the sound and turned to look at him.
When she saw the young doctor in a white coat walking towards her, there were indescribable complex emotions in her eyes.
We haven’t seen each other for a year and a half, and he is no longer the young and fashionable young man he was when we went hiking together.
The youthfulness has faded away, and the whole person exudes a mature and steady aura.
Ding Ning stood up and greeted him politely, "Doctor Gu."
She said something polite and distant to Dr. Gu, which made him look slightly stiff.
However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that they only met each other once, and since they frequently sent letters, they could only be regarded as pen pals.
He never told her what was on his mind, and they broke off contact.
"Your mother's surgery was successful, don't worry too much."
When Gu Jingqi faced her, he didn't know what to say.
He himself is a slow-moving person. Once he doesn't see a friend for a long time, he doesn't know how to get back to the familiar state with the person.
"Well, thank you. I know that Director Gao performed the surgery himself, so I feel relieved."
Gu Jingqi paused for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "So, you suddenly dropped out of school because your mother had a car accident and you went back to your hometown to take care of her?"
After hearing what he said, Ding Ning realized that Gu Jingqi must have gone to their school to find her, otherwise he would not have known about her suspension.
She lowered her head and responded, "Yeah."
"You could still write to me when you returned to your hometown. Why did you lose contact?"
Gu Jingqi thought of the suffering he had endured for more than a year and looked at Ding Ning with a somewhat aggrieved tone.
Listening to his accusatory words, Ding Ning's eyes fluctuated for a moment. Soon, she adjusted her emotions and explained in a calm voice, "My mother's condition is very bad. I don't have any thoughts to think about other things. My own emotions
I was under a lot of pressure and didn’t know what to talk to you about, so I didn’t write anymore.”
She returned to her hometown and took on all the burdens and responsibilities by herself to take care of her mother.
In those difficult days, she also wanted to write to him.
But she realized that she seemed to have some thoughts about that outstanding military medical student, so she didn't have the courage to write a letter.
The life in front of her was in a mess, and the future she had planned would also come to nothing. What qualifications did she have to talk to a boy she had only met once?
Although she had only met him once, she understood Gu Jingqi's personality from so many letters.
He is a very responsible and enthusiastic person. If he knew about her bad life, he would not be able to study with peace of mind, and would try every means to help her.
But he is just a college student.
Who is admitted to college without the whole family having high hopes?
She has already dropped out of school, and she neither dares nor wants to drag anyone down.
You can only face your own difficulties by yourself.
Gu Jingqi saw that she lowered her head and seemed very reserved. He said, "Fortunately, we have met again. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me."
Ding Ning said hurriedly, "There is no difficulty."
