"The patient was brought here in a very timely manner, and his life is not in danger for the time being." The doctor explained carefully: "However, myocarditis should not be taken lightly, especially for such an elderly person. We have to go through the hospitalization procedures and transfer to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine tomorrow morning."
Cheng Huanran answered hurriedly and thanked him with a smile.
The doctor patted his shoulder and said, "Although we can no longer be colleagues, the friendship from before is still there! You don't have to be so polite. If you need anything, call my mobile phone anytime."
"Thank you." Cheng Huanran said warmly: "I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Okay!" the doctor hurriedly said.
Cheng Huanran returned to the ward and closed the door.
"Dad, Mom, the *** situation has stabilized. It's late at night, why don't you go back to rest first and come back tomorrow morning."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "No, you have to go to work tomorrow, so I'd better stay."
"Yeah." Xue Ling agreed: "You haven't taken a shower or changed your clothes, so you should go back. Don't worry, grandma has me and your dad here. You can go back to sleep in peace and go to work on time tomorrow."
Cheng Huanran couldn't resist them, so he had to agree and hurried back.
Xue Ling closed the door and then received a call from Xue Yang.
"No need to come. You still have two children to take care of. Your father and I are enough here. Don't sleep too much at night. Remember to check on the children and grandparents."
After putting away the phone, Xue Ling rubbed her temples and turned to look at the old lady who was still asleep on the hospital bed. Her mood suddenly became complicated.
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "Daughter-in-law, you can go to the corner and relax for a while. I will just look at mom."
Xue Ling sighed softly: "I'm not sleepy."
"If you're not sleepy, just squint for a while." Cheng Tianyuan said: "Taking care of the elderly is not a temporary job. We have to take care of ourselves so that we can have the energy to take good care of the elderly."
Xue Ling lowered his eyes and lay on the edge of the bed.
Cheng Tianyuan took off his coat and put it on her back.
Xue Ling closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
She didn't know whether she was tired or really sleepy, but she fell asleep in a daze.
The dream was full of bits and pieces from the past, including the hazy and chaotic past life, as well as all kinds of happiness in this life. They were mixed and repeated, and she was so scared that she woke up unconsciously!
It was very quiet in the ward. The old lady still maintained her sleeping position and slept very deeply.
She suddenly looked around, but did not find her husband. She didn't know whether it was because she was too frightened in the dream, or because she was frightened. There was cold sweat on her forehead, and even her neck was wet.
I touched my phone and found that it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Xue Ling poured a glass of water and drank it slowly. He felt that his body was not so cold anymore, and his beating heart gradually slowed down.
At this time, the door opened slightly.
Cheng Tianyuan came in holding a thin quilt and asked in a low voice: "Are you awake? Did you sleep uncomfortable? I was worried that your neck would be sore when you woke up, so I went to the nurse's station to borrow a quilt and spread it on the sofa so that you could change your position.
sleep."
Xue Ling looked at him blankly, his intuition a little unreal.
In the dream, he was still young and strong, reserved and reticent, but he would always be kind to her secretly, care about her and considerate of her.
Cheng Tianyuan closed the door and came over.
"What's wrong? Did you fall asleep?"
Xue Ling put down the cup and threw it into his arms.
Cheng Tianyuan was startled, and asked softly and confusedly: "What? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xue Ling shook his head.
Cheng Tianyuan stroked her hair gently and said softly: "Don't worry, Mom is fine. There are still three hours until dawn, so I'll have to squint for a while. I'll squint for a while too. Anyway, I've finished the medication, so I can sleep well."
Shen, I don’t have to keep guard anymore.”
Xue Ling leaned in his arms and didn't want to move.
Cheng Tianyuan adjusted his posture and simply opened the quilt and covered each other.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Were you scared by mom tonight? Why do you always look so worried?"
Xue Ling still didn't speak.
Cheng Tianyuan patted her shoulder gently and said warmly: "Go to sleep, you will feel energetic after you sleep enough."
Xue Ling's eyes turned slightly red and she put her arms around his neck.
"Brother Yuan, you are old, I am old, we are all old."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and then chuckled: "It's been a long time since I heard you call me that. I'm not a brother anymore, I'm already an old man. I'm almost sixty years old now, and I'm a grandfather. But, I will always be yours."
Brother', because I am five years older than you. No matter how old you are, you are still young in my heart."
Xue Ling smiled, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
"I just had a nightmare... I dreamed that when we got married, I disliked you... didn't like life in the country... and even abandoned you and ran away."
Cheng Tianyuan burst into laughter: "Fortunately it was just a nightmare, otherwise I would have been miserable."
Xue Ling asked lowly: "Where is it so bad? Why is it so bad?"
"If my wife runs away, then no one will want me." Cheng Tianyuan tried hard to imagine, and whispered: "There will be no four children, and it is impossible to have a better career and life. Maybe, I will be alone.
Live your whole life alone."
After Xue Ling heard this, he remembered that in his previous life, he had indeed lived alone in the name of the two of them as a couple in name only. He couldn't help feeling heartbroken and started to cry.
Cheng Tianyuan was frightened and quickly patted her back.
"What's wrong? It's just a dream. Why are you so scared? You are my wife and the mother of my four children. We have a family, a career, a happy and harmonious big family, and now we have all been upgraded to become senior citizens.
Where are the grandparents!"
Xue Ling wiped her tears and choked: "I just... feel sorry for you in the dream."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said angrily: "You said you are over fifty, why are you still so sentimental? It seems that you were really frightened by my mother today and became sensitive and sad."
"I'm fine." Xue Ling shook his head.
Cheng Tianyuan stroked her hair gently and whispered: "Don't be afraid, people are like this. They are born crying and die quietly with their eyes closed. The old man is old and will have to leave us sooner or later. We must be mentally prepared."
"Yeah." Xue Ling murmured: "Life and death are determined by fate, and no one can control it. However, can you not die before me? I...I may not be able to bear it."
Cheng Tianyuan kissed her forehead, with tears shining in his eyes.
"I promise you that I will accompany you in this life, and then the next life, and the next life."
He is older than her, so he naturally has to go ahead of her. She is in good health and very self-disciplined. Her current medical conditions are also very good and she can live to be over a hundred years old.
Xue Ling smiled softly, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
"Yes... people really have many lives. I don't ask for great wealth, I just ask God to let me meet you in the next life, and become the person you love, so that you can continue to care for me."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded: "If God doesn't agree, I will agree on my own."
Xue Ling was amused by him and sniffed.
"Ran Ran said that Mom was so angry that she acted like this. Tell me the truth, did you make Mom angry?"
