Chapter 64 Chapter 64

===========================

Chen Zongqian suddenly overbreathed in the elevator, resulting in respiratory tract poisoning and was in critical condition.Yao Can was shocked. This was not the first time she had seen Chen Zongqian suffer from this kind of disease, but it had been so long that she thought Chen Zongqian was cured. Now the sudden situation is really scary.

The attack was so severe that Yao Can didn’t get better even after covering his mouth and nose for a long time, and he even passed out.She had no choice but to send him to Cining Hospital and ask the emergency room doctor to give him a sedative.

He sat on the chair, his hands still shaking slightly.The doctor thought he was still convulsing and considered prescribing him some calcium gluconate, but Chen Zongqian refused.

“I’m just a little nervous.” Chen Zongqian calmed down, although his condition was still not good.He stretched and closed his hands in front of the doctor, and took another deep breath.These places are all normal, because the disease is not here, but in the heart.

He still felt tight in his chest, his lungs were not feeling well, and there was something pressing on his heart.Chen Zongqian clutched the car keys tightly. He could not stay in the hospital safely and wanted to get out.

Yao Can was sitting on the waiting chair when she saw a slender figure in the distance, and she immediately stood up.When she was a child, she could call people uncle, but after taking classes and being asked to write papers, she only dared to call people “teacher” or “professor”.

Chen Simin greeted her warmly, turned her head and glanced at Chen Zongqian in the emergency room, and said thank you for her child.

“It’s not troublesome, it’s just an accident.” No one wants an accident. Yao Can regards Chen Zongqian as a friend, and of course they don’t talk about this among friends.She briefly said a few words to Chen Simin, and when she saw Chen Simin nodding, but the gloomy look on his brows, she knew that there was something else besides Chen Zongqian that worried him.

In the hospital, Du Hongwei was the only one left.

Chen Zongqian came out of the emergency room, his face still pale and a bit haggard, but at least he was out of danger.When Yao Can heard someone saying sorry, he shook his head to show that he didn’t care, and reassured Chen Zongqian that everything would be fine.His family affairs here are complicated, life and death are mixed together, everything is pressing on people, and nothing is the best blessing.

No matter how devoutly you worship the gods, you can’t get two days of peace and smoothness. The verbal blessings from humans are just a kind of relief.

“Mom went into the operating room. The doctor said it was pneumonia infection.” Chen Simin said after Yao Can left.

Du Hongwei’s condition has been deteriorating recently. The spread of cancer cells they had been worried about finally happened, and the bone cancer metastasized to the lymph nodes.She agreed to undergo targeted therapy and started taking targeted drugs. She could have tolerated the side effects that were much milder than chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

But when autumn and winter changed seasons, Du Hongwei’s body was the first to react to the changes, starting with a cough and then a low-grade fever.

The targeted drugs were not stopped. The doctor was afraid that using other drugs would increase the burden on her liver and kidneys, so they gave her antibiotics and waited for observation.Du Hongwei has been coughing for a day, and the sputum he coughed up this evening was bloody.

Chen Zongqian paused suddenly and lowered his eyes, his eyes dim.Chen Simin was worried about his physical condition and asked, “Do you want to go back? Or should you stay here with me and wait for mother to wake up?”

The red light outside the operating room is always on, and the light is so dazzling that it makes people feel anxious.Chen Zongqian was most afraid of waiting for a small piece of paper to be signed, a critical illness notice.He had signed this type of paper more than once, so he was probably familiar with it, but he didn’t want to get into the habit anyway.He could not sit still, his soul was about to be dragged away, Chen Simin held down the back of his hand.

This action has a soothing connotation.

“Dad?” The muscles in Chen Zongqian’s arms tensed and trembled. He quickly realized that he had lost his composure and began to mechanically maintain a fixed breathing rate, trying to keep himself seated.The sedative has not yet expired. The activity of some organs or tissues in his body has been suppressed by the drug’s effect. His central nervous system has stopped being excited. He is very calm at the moment, which has calmed down his anxiety to a large extent.Therefore, he maintained a calm state, but the clearer and calmer he was, the more clearly he could understand the origin of the fear in his heart.

Anxiety is often mentioned together, but they are two different emotions.Chen Zongqian may have very little anxiety due to the influence of drugs, but his anxiety has not diminished at all.

Chen Simin didn’t know what happened. Seeing his solemn expression, she vaguely felt that it was related to Xiaoran, so she asked, “Is my brother at home?”

Since he is not here, he naturally hopes that Xu Qiaochuan can stay at home well now, but Xu Qiaochuan is not here.He thought of the short phone call and rationally told him that the hoarse voice was caused by the signal being blocked by the closed elevator car. It was definitely not a call from a stranger or a suicide note.

But the similar indifference and boredom, the similar lament, overlapped across two time and space, made him suffer again, and he was afraid of the recurrence of nightmares.

He didn’t know why Xu Qiaochuan didn’t want to come back. If the person disappeared again, where would he go to find him?How many more fifteen years will he suffer?How long can mom wait?

Two forces were tugging in the chest, vowing to split the mass of flesh and blood into two halves. There was only one of that thing, and it had to be cut open bloodyly before it could be divided evenly between mother and brother.

He wanted to wait for his mother to wake up and take his brother home.

“My brother is not a child anymore.” Chen Simin looked at him like the red light outside the operating room, exuding sadness, “Don’t go to such an extreme.”

“Just because he is not a child anymore…” The cracked mobile phone screen was lit up repeatedly. Chen Zongqian waited nervously, but there was still no news from Xu Qiaochuan.

Chen Simin heard him say that Xiaoran had no sound when she cried now. If you didn’t pay attention, you wouldn’t know how many tears she shed.I don’t like to talk either, I always keep quiet and let my mind drift away.Looking at Xiaoran like this, I can’t help but feel scared, because Xu Qiaochuan doesn’t seem to be in the same world as them.

“He doesn’t want to go home with me, and he doesn’t want to have a brother.” Chen Zongqian tasted a rusty smell in his mouth, as strong as blood, “I’m sorry…”

Not wanting to relive a nightmare longer than fifteen years, Chen Zongqian wanted to get the person back immediately.Where to look and how long to look for, these are not things he considers. He only thinks about Xu Qiaochuan.And he was so afraid that if he found him, he would confiscate his keys and ID card again, turning his home into a prison. Chen Zongqian was so frightened.

Fear defeated him first, and the doctor said he should rest now instead of driving more than fifty kilometers.

“Then I’ll pick up Xiaoran. You stay with mom and don’t let her wake up and see no one.” Chen Simin stood up and looked at the lamp again, but there was still no light as he wanted.Chen Zongqian looked up at him, looking haggard and pitiful. His eyes were red. He patted Chen Zongqian on the shoulder and said, “You two are still children.”

Chen Simin unfolded the car key and made a clatter in her hand.Xu Qiaochuan’s pupils trembled, his mind was awakened, and he forgot everything he had just thought about.

The car key indeed belonged to Chen Zongqian. He had folded the triangle charm and still hung it on it.Chen Zongqian didn’t believe in blessings, but Xu Qiaochuan didn’t refuse anything he offered, even though the red paper triangle charm didn’t match the Audi car very well.

The morning breeze was so vast, separated between the two of them, but the distance of a few steps was as far away as a century.This child who did not grow up beside him seems to be no longer in the world now. He is floating and unpredictable, which makes Chen Simin unable to understand.He finally realized Chen Zongqian’s worries and fears, and Xu Qiaochuan’s situation was indeed worrying.

“Xiaoqiao?” Chen Simin read this title, this wrong name, “Brother asked me to take you back.”

“What brother?” At a loss, Xu Qiaochuan broke into a cold sweat and began to feel pain all over his body.He quickly ignored this discomfort and found a comfortable truth.

He said: “Isn’t he your boyfriend?”
