Hearing those words, Lin Jiage shot a glance at Liang Jiusi before replying nonchalantly, "I just received a call."
Believing his words, Liang Jiusi replied with an "Oh".
There was no sign of Lin Jiage lying at all. When he spoke once more, his voice was exceptionally calm and composed, "What about you?"
"Me? I'm going out to buy a pack of cigarettes. "
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm" before shooting a glance at the door, gesturing for Liang Jiusi to hurry up.
Seemingly understanding the hint in Lin Jiage's eyes, Liang Jiusi quickly left.
Lin Jiage lingered in the resting area for a while longer. Seeing that Shi Yao hadn't returned yet, he went to the underground parking lot to get his car. He drove slowly to the roadside and parked at the spot where Shi Yao had gotten out of the car.
She followed him all the way here, but she still didn't manage to enter …
Rolling down the car window, Lin Jiage stared at the empty space where Shi Yao's figure had disappeared for a very long time before he finally suppressed the slight disappointment in his heart. Rolling up the car window, he stepped on the accelerator once more and drove away.
…
The traffic was relatively good at night, so it only took Shi Yao an hour and fifteen minutes to reach the district hospital near her home.
Shi Yao hurriedly ran to the nurses' station and gave them her father's name. After learning which ward her father was in, she quickly took the elevator up.
When she reached the ward, Shi Yao didn't even bother to knock on the door before pushing it open and rushing in.
There was a needle in her father's arm, and he was lying motionlessly on the bed. Her mother was sitting by his side, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Upon seeing this sight, Shi Yao's heart clenched in pain. She quickly rushed to the bedside. Perhaps it was due to the recent conflict, but Shi Yao's expression was a little unnatural. Nevertheless, she still called out softly, "Dad …"
Hearing Shi Yao's voice, Father Shi opened his eyes weakly and glanced at her. "Yaoyao."
His voice was very gentle, just like before she'd seen him quarreling with her mother. It was the same loving tone he used to speak to her.
Hearing those words, Shi Yao's eyes reddened. "Dad, how are you feeling?"
Shi Yao turned to her mother and asked, "Mom, what happened to Dad?"
Mrs. Shi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "After your dad finished dinner, he went to take a shower. I was washing the dishes in the kitchen when I heard a thud. Then, I pushed open the bathroom door and saw your dad unconscious on the floor …"
Shi Yao: "What did the doctor say? Is it serious? "
Mother Shi: "It's not serious, but I'm afraid I'll have to take medicine all year round in the future. Also, I asked about the price of that medicine, and it's very expensive …"
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive. I'll think of a way. You don't have to worry about it. The main thing is to let my father recover."
"That still costs a lot of money. Your father doesn't even have a proper job …" As Mother Shi spoke, she exchanged glances with Father Shi before continuing, "… Yaoyao, if your marriage with Jiage hadn't been called off, your father might have been able to see a better doctor and take better medicine … But now …"
Mama Shi reached out to wipe her tears and sighed.
Had it been some time ago, Shi Yao would have definitely rejected such words from her mother and refused to talk to her. But now that her father was already in such a state, even though she still felt uncomfortable hearing those words, she didn't talk back.
The ward fell silent for a moment before Mother Shi spoke up once more, "Yaoyao, is there really no hope between you and Jiage?"
