The corridor of the hospital was filled with the unpleasant smell of disinfectant. The fiery red lights in the emergency room flickered non-stop like thick blood. The nurses in white coats shuttled back and forth like ghosts.
A six or seven-year-old child with messy clothes and black hair stained with blood hugged his knees. He curled up into a ball like a pitiful little hamster abandoned by its owner.
"Little boy, come over here. Big sister will help you bandage your wound, okay?" A young and energetic nurse leaned over to look the child in the eye and coaxed him.
Wei Jing's mind went blank. He hugged himself even tighter subconsciously. After a while, when the nurse was considering whether she should use force to drag him away to bandage his wound, he slowly but firmly shook his head.
"I want to wait for Big Brother," he said.
A trace of pity flashed across the nurse's face. It must be very painful to watch a loved one collapse in front of his own eyes after getting into a car accident.
"Let's bandage the wound on your arm first. Big Brother will come out when it's done," the nurse coaxed the child.
"I want to wait for Big Brother here," he repeated again. His face was resolute and there was no room for argument.
The nurse paused awkwardly. In the end, she looked at the man who was on the phone. "Erm … Are you the child's father? The child refuses to be bandaged … "
She was interrupted by the driver halfway through her sentence. The middle-aged man ran his fingers through his hair in annoyance. There was a cigarette in his mouth. The blood on his head had stopped, but the dried blood stuck to his face and stuck to his skin. "Young Master refuses to be bandaged. Then I'll have to trouble Miss Nurse to bring the things we need to use here. Sorry for the trouble."
The Young Master was lying in the operating room. How could he be willing to leave? His life was at stake here!
The nurse had no choice but to talk to the doctor upstairs.
The doctor was a tactful person. He understood the importance of this group of people and personally brought the things to treat the child and the man.
In this car accident, the most seriously injured person was the young man in the operating room. The child and the middle-aged man were not seriously injured and their lives were not in danger.
The doctor removed the broken glass from the child's tender arm and applied some medicine to stop the bleeding … Finally, he wrapped a layer of bandage around the wound. Even an adult could not withstand the pain, but the child did not make a sound. It was only when the operation was over that he seemed to come back to his senses and thanked the doctor softly.
His arm was in pain. It was as if someone had inserted a sharp needle and fork into his skin. It hurt his blood vessels, bone marrow, and heart. It was so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
Wei Jing tilted his head and stared blankly at the door of the emergency room. Why was it so painful? It was more than when he died..
Everything around him seemed to be far away from him. Only the sealed door was buried deep in his mind.
This was the scene Wei He saw when he arrived. His proudest eldest son was lying in the operating room, and he did not know if he was dead or alive. The 'illegitimate son' he hated the most was sitting in a daze in a chair. He was covered in blood and did not react to Wei He's arrival. The chauffeur in charge of driving stood to the side with a frustrated and anxious look on his face.
"What's going on?" the man asked.
The driver explained the whole story. The main point was that while they were driving, the big truck in front of them suddenly crashed into them like crazy. The tycoon's seat wasn't good. He was right next to the spot where the truck crashed into.
"Where's the driver?" Wei He reached out to loosen the tie around his neck. His expression was dark.
The chauffeur said that he had called the police and the police had already arrested the person. The other party seemed to have been drinking and reeked of alcohol.
"So, it was an accident?" Wei He narrowed his eyes and spat out the words with a strange accent. It was as if he was mocking and questioning him at the same time.
The chauffeur lowered his head. His entire body was tense as he said vaguely, "That depends on whether the police can find anything."
"Okay." Wei He nodded and sat beside the child. He did not say anything else and waited for the results of the operation with them.
At that moment, time passed abnormally slowly. Every second and every minute was like a mischievous child holding the world's needle in his hand and preventing it from moving forward. After an unknown period of time, the lights in the operating room suddenly went out.
Wei Jing jumped off the chair and ran to the door of the operating room. He was so anxious that he almost fell.
"Doctor, is my big brother okay? How is he? " At that moment, his voice was not as innocent as usual. Because of his urgency, it sounded too shrill. He sounded like a resentful ghost, mournful and sorrowful.
The doctor's white coat was stained with blood during the operation. It was bright and dazzling. He took off his mask and looked exhausted. "The operation was very successful. The patient's life is not in danger for the time being. He will be transferred to the intensive care unit."
That's great. Big Brother is fine. Wei Jing's expression had just relaxed when the doctor's next words froze.
"However, the patient's heart stopped beating for a minute or two during the operation. Although he recovered later, it caused some damage to his brain. Please be mentally prepared. After all … there are many areas in the brain that we have not been able to overcome until now."
"What do you mean by that? Explain it to me!!! "
The doctor looked up at the man behind the child and took a deep breath. "What I mean is that the patient may never wake up again. Even if he is lucky enough to wake up, there will be some damage to his intelligence."
The doctor said it very tactfully, but the three people present understood what he meant.
"No! That's impossible. " Wei Jing took a step forward. He was short and could only tug at the hem of the doctor's white coat. He sounded like he was about to cry. "My big brother is very capable. He will become a very, very capable person in the future. How could he … have a problem with his intelligence?"
If he had a problem with his intelligence, wouldn't he be an idiot?
"My condolences."
As a doctor, he had seen too many deaths. He was already numb to it. Other than this sentence, he really did not know what else to say.
"Can't we operate on him?" Compared to Wei Jing, who was on the verge of breaking down, Wei He, who was the father, was calm and heartless.
The doctor shook his head slowly.
"Wah!!! It's all my fault. It's all my fault. If only I hadn't come here. If only I hadn't changed. It's all my fault … "The child knelt on the ground weakly. His white and tender hands supported him on the ground. Bitter tears fell one by one onto the cold ground. His hoarse voice was incoherent as he said something that no one else could understand.
He was so small. Now that he was curled up into a ball, he was both pitiful and lovable. The doctor sighed. He carried the child up and placed him on a chair. After giving him a packet of tissue, he walked away.
Everyone had their own life. There was nothing they could do.
Wei He glanced at the child with a strange gaze. He didn't know that the two of them had such a good relationship.
"I've heard from Old Zhang about this incident. Wei Zhe got into a car accident because you went shopping. Did I remember wrongly?" Wei He spoke slowly. Even when he heard that his son might become a vegetable or an idiot, he only felt a moment of unease. He quickly regained his composure and wanted to maximize his benefits.
Wei Jing looked up in confusion. His originally bright black eyes had turned pitch-black. They were empty and lost.
"Tsk!" Wei He felt his hair stand on end. He instinctively took a step back. After calming himself down, he continued to speak. "Now that the Wei family's old mansion is empty, you should move to your mother's place. I will send you living expenses on time until you reach adulthood."
Although he said that, when Wei Jing completely disappeared from the upper class and disappeared from everyone's memories, how would anyone know what he wanted to do?
"What do you mean?"
"That's what I mean on the surface." Wei He looked at him with disdain and said in a strange tone, "You can't covet the Wei family's things."
"Are you giving up on Big Brother? Big Brother … He has always been outstanding. He will continue to be outstanding and become a good successor. " Wei Jing jumped off the chair. His injured arm accidentally hit the wall, but he did not seem to feel any pain. He just stared at Wei He. "Nothing has been decided yet. You can't make such a decision."
The Wei family's old mansion was empty. Wasn't this telling Wei Jing that he … was giving up on Wei Zhe?
"Childish." Wei He sneered. "Do you think a miracle will happen?"
Miracles could not be seen or touched. Instead of pinning his hopes on a miracle, he might as well think about who he would groom as his successor without Wei Zhe.
Of course, he would also keep an eye on Wei Zhe's situation so that he could make the best decision.
The people around him had gone back and forth countless times. Wei Jing told himself that he couldn't cry. He couldn't be weak. His life wasn't just his own. No matter what his big brother became, he would always be his younger brother, and he would always be his most important big brother.
No matter what? He had to take good care of Big Brother.
So how could he be sent away?
He did not need to cry. He had to hold onto his pitiful bargaining chip and negotiate with Wei He to let him stay by Big Brother's side.
