At this time, Cao Jiadong has finished bandaging and is lying on the hospital bed, enduring the pain after the anesthesia wears off, recalling the scene when the car accident occurred, and fearing for the rest of his life.
The ring finger and little finger of his left hand are missing. This is the best result because he escaped a fatal collision when he jumped out and his left hand was run over by a wheel. If he had not jumped out desperately, he might be lying down now.
In the morgue.
He returned his gaze to the void and returned it to his left hand, lamenting in his heart: It's over, I'm disabled——
This honest and honest man was not thinking about his hand with broken fingers at this time, but what would happen after he became a disabled person.
He was a little sad, and his sadness led to random thoughts.
The first thing he thought about was that now that he was disabled, would Zhou Xiaomei abandon him?
What if I really don’t want it anymore? He asked himself, and as he asked the question, the scene of leading Xiaojun and Xiaoying out of Zhou’s house appeared in front of him------
He is not afraid of going back to the old days. He just came here like this. There is nothing to be afraid of. But he can't let go of Zhou Xiaomei. The days he spent with her are his happiest days. He loves Zhou Xiaomei so deeply that he would even give his life for it.
------
Thinking of this made my heart hurt so much that I forgot about the pain in my fingers------
She was not that kind of person, so how could he miss her so much? He blamed himself and complained for his random thoughts, and firmly believed in his wife's character.
She will definitely feel uncomfortable when she comes to see me like this, and she will have to endure it a bit. He said to himself.
Now he longs to see Zhou Xiaomei, but is afraid of seeing her, and is tormented by worries about gain and loss.
Zhou Xiaomei drove all the way to the hospital, got out of the car without taking an umbrella, and rushed into the lobby despite the rain. Then she rushed up to the second floor and ran to the door of the ward, but suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She didn't know how badly Cao Jiadong was injured. The person who called her was the traffic policeman who took Cao Jiadong to the hospital. He only said that Cao Jiadong had been in a car accident and was being rescued at the affiliated hospital. He asked her to come over quickly, just like a doctor giving a critical illness notice to the patient's family.
It makes people sad and confused.
When she came to the Affiliated Hospital, she had to pass through the intersection where the car accident occurred. As she passed by, Zhou Xiaomei saw through the car window that there were people standing on the sidewalk in the rain, watching. She glanced subconsciously and saw the man lying on the ground and died on the spot.
Her head was buzzing, her hands could hardly hold the steering wheel, and her heart was hanging------
The feeling of knowing clearly that a loved one has been in a car accident but not knowing what the specific situation is like is really anxious and uncomfortable. Especially when I see the dead person lying on the ground, I feel even more anxious and confused.
At this time, people are thinking in the bad direction and praying in the good direction.
She drove the car, which seemed very slow, but in fact it was very fast. It could be described as a crazy gallop. The water splashed by the wheels splashed to both sides, and a long mist rose from the rear of the car, and the cars behind could only vaguely see it.
See the red light from the car's taillights-----
She shouted and prayed in her heart: Jiadong, don't let anything happen to you, don't—
God, please bless him and nothing will happen to him, nothing will happen to him------
Driving all the way, running all the way, shouting all the way, praying all the way.
Finally, we arrived outside the ward and in front of the door.
No matter how eager she is to see her husband, she needs to steady herself at this time and force herself to be calm, because the ward she is about to enter has unknown and even terrifying consequences waiting for her, and she needs to face it rationally.
.
A minute later, after calming down, Zhou Xiaomei pushed open the ward door and saw Cao Jiadong's bandaged left hand, which made her heart tighten.
Cao Jiadong heard the sound of the door and looked towards the door and saw his wife.
He opened his mouth as dryly as a child who had done something wrong and wanted to admit his mistake. He did not say anything, but first squeezed out a smile to reassure his wife, but in the end, his fingers were connected to his heart, and the pain was unbearable, and his mouth became a grin.
wry smile.
Seeing her husband smiling bitterly despite the pain, Zhou Xiaomei almost shed tears.
She didn't say anything. After walking to the bed, she first touched Cao Jiadong carefully up, down, left, and right, and looked over Cao Jiadong's body. When it was confirmed that he only had a broken finger and no other injuries, her heart was finally relieved.
"It didn't hurt anywhere else, did it?" She still asked worriedly, her voice trembling, fearing that her husband would say something bad.
"without."
Zhou Xiaomei couldn't bear it any longer, and tears fell down her cheeks.
Cao Jiadong panicked and said quickly: "Why are you crying? I'm fine. I'm fine. Isn't this good?"
"It scared me to death, wuwu------it scared me to death--"
At this time, Zhou Xiaomei lost a little bit of her CEO posture. After experiencing the high tension caused by excessive fright, she saw her husband lying on the bed alive, only missing two fingers, instead of ------ all over his body.
It softened as if it had been cramped.
She cried with joy like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
After crying, with tears hanging on my cheeks, I asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
"A little bit, the anesthetic has worn off." Cao Jiadong said, trying to look relaxed.
"I'm going to ask the doctor for two painkillers." Zhou Xiaomei wiped the tears from her cheeks and turned to leave.
"No, it doesn't hurt that much." Cao Jiadong stopped his wife.
Zhou Xiaomei turned around to look at her husband.
Cao Jiadong wanted to get up. Zhou Xiaomei went over to support his upper body. He sat up with his right hand. After sitting up, he raised his injured left hand to his wife and said a little regretfully: "There are only three fingers left..."
---Became disabled."
"Why do you want that? As long as everything is fine--" Zhou Xiaomei smiled, and then said: "What are the three fingers like? They are the same!"
"It's hard work, it can't be the same as before------"
"I won't do any more work." Zhou Xiaomei looked at him and said, "From now on you won't do any work, just take care of your three little ancestors at home, and wait until they go to college to finish."
"That's no good. You still have to go to work after you're done. I can't let you be tired alone." Cao Jiadong said.
"Listen to me. From now on, you can take care of the children and clean the house at home. You don't need to take care of anything else. I'll do it. Besides, I don't worry about you being at home." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"You don't mind that I'm disabled?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xiaomei glared at her husband dissatisfied, "What kind of disability? What do you call a disability? Isn't it just missing two fingers? Why? You are not my husband anymore, and I am not your wife anymore? From now on.
Don't say this, listen."
"Yeah." Cao Jiadong nodded like a child and smiled stupidly.
"Silly——"
When school was over in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaomei went to school to pick up her three children. In the car, she told them about her father's car accident and told them not to worry and that everything was fine.
Xiaoying cried when she saw her father, and Xiaojun felt uncomfortable too, but after all, he was older and didn't cry. Xiaolong's eyes were red.
Zhou Xiaomei said to her three children: "I have asked the doctor, and he said that dad can be raised at home and that he can come in on time to change the dressing. Do you think it is better for dad to go home or be in the hospital?"
Xiaoying cried and said, "I want dad to come home."
"Me too." Xiaolong said.
Zhou Xiaomei looked at Xiaojun, and Xiaojun said: "Go home and take care of her. Although you won't have to pay for hospitalization here, you have to take care of both ends, and you're too busy, so why not stay at home."
"Okay, let's go home and take care of her." Zhou Xiaomei said.
This is also what Cao Jiadong meant.
Although someone was responsible for the car accident, medical expenses, hospitalization expenses, lost work expenses, food expenses, etc., he and Zhou Xiaomei were not the blackmailers, not to mention that the female driver who caused the accident was also seriously injured and was being rescued.
The father and mother discussed and decided to go home to take care of her. As Xiaojun said, Zhou Xiaomei can be taken care of without having to go to the hospital and home. As for the subsequent compensation, there is no need to worry about the police.
"Mom, do grandpa and grandma know that dad had a car accident?" Xiaoying asked.
"I don't know, my mother didn't tell them." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"Let's not tell them yet to save them from worrying." Xiaoying said sensibly.
