The medical staff told Sun Xiaogang that his father had to continue to be observed in the ICU Ward.
This also meant that Sun Xiaogang could not accompany his father at all times. At most, he could only visit his father three times a week according to the rules of the hospital.
But at least his father’s life was saved and if nothing went wrong, he wouldn’t be disabled.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Therefore, Sun Xiaogang accepted this result very reasonably and said that he wouldn’t pursue Zhao Guangming’s responsibility although he still had some complaints about Zhao Guangming’s previous plan.
However, since Lin Bai had already made it clear that the previous plan was reasonable, he would not pursue it.
He only hoped that his parents could recover as soon as possible. As for the rest, he did not want to be too fussy about it.
When he returned to the ward, Mother Sun’s face was full of anxiety.
She kept making whimpering sounds with her throat as if she was eager to express something.
Unfortunately, her jaw was fractured and she couldn’t speak normally.
Seeing his mother so anxious, Sun Xiaogang also became nervous.
He quickly asked, “Mom, are you in pain and want to turn over?”
“Hmph!”
Mrs. Sun shook her head.
“Is there something wrong with that? Do you need me to call the doctor?” Sun Xiaogang asked again.
*whimpering!*
Mrs. Sun shook her head again and looked at the bedside cabinet.
There were papers and pens on the cabinet. The medical staff had specially brought them over in order to communicate with her.
Sun Xiaogang understood and quickly spread out the paper and stuffed the pen into his mother’s hand.
Mrs. Sun used her less injured hand to write two words on the paper.
“Your father.” There was a big question mark at the end.
Sun Xiaogang understood what his mother meant.
He had been away for so long. It seemed that his mother had already guessed that something had happened to his father.
Since he could not hide it, Sun Xiaogang knew to tell the truth.
“My father has bleeding in his brain. He has already undergone surgery. Everything is going well and there is no danger of illness.”
Mrs. Sun’s eyes became worried. She struggled and twisted her body as if she wanted to get out of bed.
Sun Xiaogang quickly held her down and said, “Mom, you can’t move around like this!”
“Believe me, dad is really fine. You Don’t have to worry about him.”
Mother Sun wrote on the paper again, “Then you should go and accompany him.”
Sun Xiaogang didn’t dare to say that his father was still in the ICU ward. They didn’t allow him to accompany him there.
He was afraid that if he told the truth, it would make his mother even more worried.
So, he could only lie and say, “It’s okay. There’s a nurse watching over there. There won’t be any problems.”
Mrs. Sun still insisted that Sun Xiaogang take care of his father.
Sun Xiaogang tried his best to persuade his mother to give up and accept his care in peace.
Lin Bai was reminded by Sun Xiaogang’s words. He realized that he had neglected the importance of the nurse.
Judging from Mrs. Sun’s injury, it was definitely not something that could be discharged in a day or two.
If there were no nursing staff, it would be dependent on Sun Xiaogang to accompany her day and night. Even if her body was tough, she would be worn out.
Therefore, Lin Bai quietly went out again and hired two nursing staff who seemed to be more reliable. He asked them to take turns to take care of Mrs. Sun in black and white shifts.
After taking care of these, he received a call from Luo Yang.
“Boss, we’re done with class. We want to go and see Sun Xiaogang’s parents. Which hospital is it? What’s the ward number?”
Lin Bai replied, “Central Hospital, Emergency Ward 302.”
Luo Yang said, “Okay, Zhu Kai and I will be there in a while.”
Zhu Kai was Lin Bai’s other roommate.
After more than ten minutes, Luo Yang and Zhu Kai carried the fruit basket into the ward.
When they entered the ward and saw that half of Mrs. Sun’s face was wrapped in bandages, they were instantly embarrassed.
They didn’t know that Mrs. Sun had hurt her chin, so they bought the fruit basket according to the usual etiquette of visiting patients.
But now that Mrs. Sun couldn’t eat anything, Luo Yang and Zhu Kai were so embarrassed that their toes were touching the ground. They didn’t know if they should give the fruit basket in hand.
Fortunately, Sun Xiaogang took the initiative to take the fruit basket and resolved their awkwardness.
“We’re brothers. Don’t be so formal next time. Just come by yourself.” Sun Xiaogang said and put the fruit basket aside.
Zhu Kai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, in order to ease the awkwardness, he forced a smile and greeted mother Sun.
“Hello, Auntie. I’m Xiaogang’s classmate, Zhu Kai.”
“That… how are you feeling now? Are you better?”
After asking, Zhu Kai finally reacted. Auntie Sun was already bandaged up like this, how could she speak.
Thus, it was even more awkward.
He just wanted to find a seam to hide in.
Sun Xiaogang answered on behalf of his mother, “My mother is still alright. Her injuries aren’t too serious. It’s just that her jaw, arms, and legs are all fractured. She’ll be fine after recuperating for a period of time.”
Zhu Kai smiled awkwardly and nodded. “Oh, I see. In that case, Auntie, you should rest more.”
Luo Yang also followed up with a few pleasantries and prepared to take his leave.
“Then Auntie, you should rest well. We won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Xiaogang, which ward is uncle in?”
Although Mrs. Sun could not speak, she kept looking at them with a smile in her eyes. She was very pleased that her son had made so many good friends.
Sun Xiaogang could not say that his father was in the ICU in front of his mother, so he could only lie:
“My father is in the neurosurgery department’s ward. Shall I bring you there?”
Luo Yang and Zhu Kai nodded and said yes. Then, they smiled and said goodbye to Sun Xiaogang’s mother.
The four of them left the ward together. After walking for a distance, Sun Xiaogang told the truth.
“Actually, my father is in the ICU. I was afraid that my mother would be worried, so I didn’t tell her.”
“That’s why I couldn’t tell her when I was in the ward just now.”
“Luo Yang, Zhu Kai, thank you for coming over to see my mom. It’s getting late. You guys should hurry back to school.”
Luo Yang and Zhu Kai were a little worried when they heard Sun Xiaogang say that his dad was in the ICU.
Luo Yang asked, “Uncle, where exactly are you injured? I have a few relatives who are also doctors. If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know.”
Sun Xiaogang said, “I just had a craniotomy this afternoon. I’m still observing.”
“Speaking of which, I have to thank Boss for this. If he didn’t notice that my father’s intracranial bleeding is very serious, perhaps…”
“Anyway, our boss is really awesome. I really didn’t expect that he actually knows medicine and face-reading.”
When Luo Yang and Zhu Kai heard this, they were instantly shocked.
“Boss, you know these things? !”
“Holy sh*t! Boss, why do you know everything?!”
Lin Bai hurriedly said, “No, no, don’t listen to his nonsense.”
“I was forced to make up an excuse to fool people. Don’t take it seriously.”
Lin Bai didn’t want to become a fortune-teller in the eyes of his roommates. In the future, they would beg him to predict the good and the bad.
But the more he tried to deny it, the more Luo Yang and Zhu Kai felt that what Sun Xiaogang said must be true.
