After listening to Professor Xie's explanation, Ning Qiutong froze on the spot.
She really wanted to ask Professor Xie if her father's illness could be cured.
However, she opened her mouth slightly and her lips squirmed for a long time before she realized that she couldn't even say a word.
Was there a need to ask?
Although she didn't understand some of the medical terms that Professor Xie was talking about, did Professor Xie really need to explain in this situation?
Ning Qiutong stood in the same place. Two lines of tears suddenly slid down her pale face.
In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
Their mother had passed away very early, and their father had raised the two of them up painstakingly.
Later on, the family's conditions became better and better. However, her father was often not home because of work. The two of them were left alone in the cold and empty house.
Therefore, after they grew up, Ning Qiutong had to go home every night no matter how busy she was at work.
This was because she didn't want her father to experience that feeling of loneliness.
Because of her family, Ning Qiutong became a strong woman when she grew up. This also gradually made her understand the importance of family.
Her father was very dignified and always meant what he said.
However, sometimes, he would follow her little temper and let her do whatever she wanted.
Gradually, Ning Qiutong also grew up. Although she hadn't married yet and became a glorious mother, she also began to truly understand how her father treated her and her sister.
It was the most difficult fetters that originated from the depths of their blood …
Suddenly, Ning Qiutong seemed to have thought of something. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She gently wiped away the tears on her face with her hand. She adjusted her expression and looked at Professor Xie seriously as she asked, "Professor Xie, when can we start the treatment?"
"Of course, the sooner the better. I'll call the hospital right away and ask them to arrange an intensive care unit …"
Professor Xie thought for a moment before he continued, "However, I suggest that Ms. Ning go and talk to Mr. Ning about it first. Because his current situation isn't something that can be achieved in a day or two, I suspect that Mr. Ning might have known about his illness a long time ago. He was just afraid that you would be worried, so he didn't tell you. "
"I understand. Thank you, Professor Xie."
Ning Qiutong nodded silently, then turned to look outside the door.
She guessed that her father was still there comforting Qing Xue not to worry.
…
Suddenly, he flipped the ink on the table and smeared the poetry book like an old crow.
His father was pitiful and his mother was reluctant to slap him, but his foolish smile made people sigh.
…
"Geese, geese, geese, singing to the sky. White feathers float on the green water, red palms pluck the clear waves! "
Chen Xi sat on the sofa with the little fellow in his arms and taught her to recite Tang poems word by word.
Niannian was already four years old. Naturally, it was time for her to start learning how to read.
She was also very smart. It only took her less than a morning to completely recite the song of the Song of the Goose.
When the little fellow once again completely recited the entire poem, she excitedly rushed into Chen Xi's arms and asked with a laugh, "Papa, am I awesome?"
"Amazing, Niannian is so smart!"
Chen Xi kissed his daughter and then said with a smile, "Come on, Papa will teach you a poem. Recite it with me … Two orioles singing in the green willows."
"Two orioles singing in the green willows."
The little fellow opened her small mouth, clapped her small hands, and recited it word by word with Chen Xi.
"A group of egrets flying to the blue sky."
"The window contains the autumn snow of the West Ridge."
"The door moors the ship of the East Wu Kingdom."
Chen Xi patiently taught his daughter to recite the poem. At this time, a strange ringtone suddenly rang.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment. He thought it was Aunt Zhang's phone ringing.
When he was about to ask Aunt Zhang to answer the phone, he suddenly realized that it was his cell phone that was ringing.
Chen Xi quickly put the little fellow aside and reached for the phone on the table.
"Hello, is this Chen Xi?"
Lin Xuan's voice sounded at the other end of the phone.
Perhaps it was because she heard the little fellow reciting the poem, Lin Xuan immediately smiled.
Without waiting for Chen Xi to reply, she said directly, "The day after tomorrow, Sunday. I have made an appointment with everyone. You must come."
"Well, okay, sorry to trouble you."
"Remember to bring Niannian too. Let them see how cute the daughter of you and Yingying is. They will be so jealous."
Hearing this, Chen Xi thought for a moment and laughed involuntarily. "Okay, I will bring Niannian too."
After that, the two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Chen Xi put down the phone and looked down. He saw the little fellow secretly sticking to him and eavesdropping with her little ears.
Chen Xi smiled and held his daughter in his arms. He scratched her nose with his hand and deliberately asked with a straight face, "When did you learn to eavesdrop on Papa's phone call?"
The little fellow did not take it seriously at all. Instead, she giggled and said, "Papa, where are you taking me?"
"I am taking you to see the sister from the day before yesterday, okay?"
Hearing this, the little fellow immediately pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "No, sister wants to hit Papa. She is a bad person."
"Sister is joking with Papa. In fact, she is a good person. She likes Niannian very much."
"Really?"
"Of course it is true. Would Papa lie to you?"
"Okay, then I can play with her." The little fellow pretended to be reserved and said.
Looking at his daughter's proud appearance, Chen Xi suddenly laughed.
…
Zhonghai Medical College Affiliated Hospital, ICU.
Ning Zhongguo changed into a hospital gown and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at the expressionless Ning Qiutong helplessly.
To be honest, he had long thought that he would have such a day.
However, he did not expect this day to come so suddenly.
"Qiutong … Why don't we go home? You see, Papa usually has no major problems. He can eat and exercise. There is no need to make such a big fuss, right? "
Looking at his daughter's cold expression, Ning Zhongguo's tone was no longer as harsh as usual.
His tone was like that of a child who had made a mistake and was anxiously waiting for her parents to scold her.
"No, we will go home after you finish the surgery."
She looked at her father who was sitting on the hospital bed with a crooked back, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Ning Qiutong's expression was still cold, but her heart seemed to be dripping blood.
When had Papa ever shown such an attitude in front of her?
The more Ning Zhongguo acted like this, the more Ning Qiutong understood his current thoughts.
Papa had always known about his physical condition, but he had been hiding it from her.
Since she already knew, Papa naturally did not need to hide it anymore.
Looking at her father who had aged a few years in an instant, and then looking at his weakness and helplessness that was exposed for the first time because he could no longer continue to hide it …
Ning Qiutong's heart was broken …
The ward suddenly became quiet. The father and daughter looked at each other for a while. Finally, Ning Zhongguo was defeated.
He shook his head, as if he was talking to himself, and said, "Okay then, I will sleep first. Call me when Professor Xie is ready."
"Okay."
Ning Qiutong nodded expressionlessly, then turned around and walked out of the room.
However, the moment she turned around.
