He leaned against the wall for a long time.
Not long after, the nurse pa.s.sed by him with a few blood bags. Fang Yusheng forced himself to stay awake and returned to the entrance of the emergency room. He waited outside the door for a long time. When they arrived, it was two in the afternoon. At this moment, the sky was almost dark.
Fang Yusheng panicked.
The people waiting outside the emergency room with him had already waited for their families to come out. The patients were saved without any danger. Fang Yusheng saw them gathered together and crying. He wanted to cry too. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.
Fang Yusheng did not know how many times it rang before he heard the phone ring.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from home. He answered the call with his bloodstained fingers. Fang Yusheng placed the phone by his ear and heard Fang Zikai’s cheerful and sweet voice. “Dad, where are you and Mom? When are you coming back? You have to eat!”
Fang Yusheng wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be grabbed by a hand, and he could not make a sound.
Go home for dinner?
His Ah Sheng and little princess might not be able to accompany him home for dinner anymore…
“Dad?” Fang Zikai found it strange and asked Fang Yusheng, “Dad, are you listening?”
Fang Yusheng nodded. His voice was strange.
Fang Zikai added, “Dad, what are you doing? Do you have a cold? Your voice is so hoa.r.s.e.”
Fang Yusheng finally found his voice.
He asked Fang Zikai, “Is Brother beside you?”
Fang Zikai muttered that he was biased. Fang Yusheng heard him shout on the other end of the phone, “Brother, Dad is looking for you!” Then, he heard steady footsteps approaching. The two of them might be exchanging phones. He heard Fang Zikai complain again, “He must have something to tell you. Seriously, is it different from telling me?”
Fang Zicheng ignored Fang Zikai.
He held his phone and called out calmly, “Dad.” Then, he remained silent and waited for Fang Yusheng to speak.
“Cheng Cheng.” Fang Yusheng almost cried.
Fang Zicheng could tell that his father was not in a good mood. He frowned but remained calm.
He, who was emotionally deficient, could not resonate with Fang Yusheng. This was also why Fang Yusheng wanted Fang Zikai to hand him his phone. To put it bluntly, Fang Zicheng was more indifferent than Fang Zikai. If he told Fang Zicheng about Qiao Jiusheng, it would not affect the chaos.
“What happened?”
Fang Zicheng’s voice was indeed calm.
Fang Yusheng took a deep breath and said, “Mom and I are in the hospital. We can’t go home for dinner.”
Fang Zicheng asked again, “You’re not done with the checkup yet?” He knew that today was the day his mother went for the aberration checkup, but he remembered that the checkup was in the morning. It didn’t make sense that she was still in the hospital at this time. Then, did something happen?
“Dad, is Mom feeling unwell?” He did not hear Fang Yusheng speak and asked again, “Is it Little Sister…”
“Your mother is injured.” Fang Yusheng’s hoa.r.s.e voice sounded like he had cried. He told Fang Zicheng, “Your mother is injured and fell. She lost a lot of blood. Cheng Cheng, the little sister might… might not be able to be saved.”
No one could understand Fang Yusheng’s heartache.
Ever since Qiao Jiusheng got pregnant, Fang Yusheng had been on tenterhooks, worried that an accident would happen. When the accident really happened, Fang Yusheng felt extremely regretful. He should not have let Ah Sheng get pregnant and have a second child.
Now, his Ah Sheng and the little princess’s lives were unknown. If possible, Fang Yusheng wanted to replace Qiao Jiusheng and lie on the operating table.
Fang Zicheng’s expression did not change much, but his eyes darkened. This was a change that he did not notice.
“Shall we come over now?”
“No, you and your brother eat first. After dinner, you can contact your grandparents and ask them to send you over.”
“…Okay.”
Fang Zicheng hung up.
At the side, Fang Zikai looked up at him anxiously and asked, “What did Dad tell you?”
Fang Zicheng drafted a draft in his heart before saying to Fang Zikai, “Dad and Mom won’t be back for dinner tonight. He told us to eat obediently and ask Grandpa and Grandma to bring us to see them after dinner.”
“Where are they?”
Fang Zicheng said, “You’ll know when you get there.”
During the meal, Fang Zikai was s.n.a.t.c.hing the dishes from Fang Zicheng. Those dishes were clearly not his favorite, but because Aunt Jin placed the dishes in front of Fang Zicheng, Fang Zikai felt that the dishes were fragrant and always ate those few dishes. Fang Zicheng did not speak the entire time he ate, as if he was thinking about something.
Aunt Jin picked up a piece of osmanthus fish from his bowl. Seeing that Fang Zicheng did not notice it, she raised her eyebrows and found it strange. “Cheng Cheng, aren’t you hungry?”
Fang Zicheng came back to his senses.
He looked at Aunt Jin before turning around and taking a bite of the fish. After eating, he suddenly called out to Aunt Jin, “Grandma Jin.”
Aunt Jin sighed.
“What’s wrong, Cheng Cheng?”
Fang Zicheng asked her, “Will a mother be very sad to suddenly lose a baby?”
Aunt Jin was stunned. Her eyes became suspicious.
“Why is Cheng Cheng asking this?”
He lied. “I have a cla.s.smate whose mother had a miscarriage. That cla.s.smate has been very troubled recently. He said that his mother has been very unhappy recently.”
Aunt Jin sighed and said, “Of course she would feel terrible. That’s her child. It’s a piece of her flesh. Of course she’ll be sad.” Aunt Jin said, “I was pregnant with two children in total. I successfully gave birth to a daughter but I miscarried the other child at the age of five months. That morning, I came down the stairs and accidentally fell. That child…”
After decades, Aunt Jin still looked sad when she mentioned that matter again.
“My heart ached for a long time after losing the baby. Your cla.s.smate’s mother was naturally very sad.”
Fang Zicheng listened to Aunt Jin’s words seriously and was deep in thought.
After dinner, Aunt Jin was cleaning the dishes. Just as she threw the dishes into the sink, Fang Zicheng’s voice suddenly sounded from behind. “Grandma Jin, what gift can comfort the mother who lost her child?”
Aunt Jin was shocked.
She turned around and looked down at the little radish head. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Does your cla.s.smate want to give his mother a gift to comfort her?”
“Yes.”
Aunt Jin said, “The best gift is to let your cla.s.smates study well and be obedient. They can be Mom’s little sweetheart. When they grow up, they can be filial to Mom.”
“That’s it?” Fang Zicheng asked. “There’s no practical gift?”
Aunt Jin smiled and said, “Mom will like it as long as it’s from her child.”
“…Oh.”
Fang Zicheng left the kitchen and went to the courtyard to call Chi Baoguang and Lisa. When they received the call, the couple was shopping. After knowing Qiao Jiusheng’s situation, Chi Baoguang pulled Lisa into the car. He drove very quickly to Mansion Number Nine, picked up Fang Zicheng and the confused Fang Zikai, and went straight to the hospital.
