thoughtful

The Christmas and New Year decorations on the street have not been removed, bright neon lights are flashing one after another, Raymond is walking home from the subway station against the cold wind, the street trees bent by the wind are bowing to himself, and the shiny neon lights are facing him In the blink of an eye, it was like stepping on cotton under my feet, floating all the way home.

When he opened the door, the heating from the air conditioner came rushing towards his face with the smell of home. Raymond's face paralyzed from the cold finally felt sensation, and he was so moved that he almost shed tears at this moment.

The door of the parents' bedroom was closed, and they seemed to be asleep. Lei Meng was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room with his iPad in his hands. When he saw him push the door in, he barely raised his eyelids: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Raymond chopped off his frozen feet, bent over to change his shoes, and secretly regretted: I really shouldn't wear a suit for the sake of style!

"What are you doing?"

Taking off the suit jacket and hanging it on the hanger, Raymond thought for a while: "My best friend's wedding?"

Lei Meng put away the iPad, glanced at the clock, and stood up.

"Are you going to sleep?"

"Ah."

Lei Meng didn't expect that she was deliberately waiting for him, and scratched his head with a little apology: "Uh...you don't have to wait for me next time, your brother is so annoying, it will be fine!" In Lei Meng, it turned into a mockery Before turning his face, Lei Meng quickly added, "If it doesn't work, you can still make a call."

"You think I'm willing to wait..." However, his rescue was useless, Lei Meng still sneered, but his face immediately became serious, "It's my mother who wants me to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" There was no expected ridicule, and Lei Meng was not used to it. He sat on the sofa and looked at Lei Meng for no reason.

"Tomorrow... can you ask for leave to accompany Dad to the hospital?"

"Yes, yes..." Tomorrow is the first day of Lei Meng's transfer to the department. There is nothing important. Anyway, there is still annual leave left, so it should be no problem to ask for leave. "What's wrong with Dad? Didn't Mom accompany him a few days ago?" Have you been revisited?"

"Well, everything went well at first, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with it. But tonight, Dad suddenly fainted in the supermarket..."

"What?" Raymond stood up abruptly, "How is Dad?"

"Don't get excited... the people nearby called 120 for help and sent them to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. After staying in the hospital for observation for a while, there was no serious problem, but it was too late, and the doctors in the neurology department were off work, so my mother asked my father to go back first. Let’s rest at home and prepare to go to the People’s Hospital tomorrow for Dr. Li to have a thorough examination.”

"No problem, I'll go with Dad tomorrow." Raymond nodded, "Dr. Li used to be Dad's attending doctor, so he understands the condition better, so it's safer to let him take a look."

"Well, then I'll go to bed." Lei Meng completed the task, yawned, and turned back to the bedroom.After walking two steps, she turned her head and said, "You too."

"Okay, good night."

After watching Lei Meng enter the bedroom, Lei Meng sat back on the sofa again, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he couldn't even lift his arms to wash up.

The good mood on the subway was gone, replaced by deep anxiety.

Dad, you must be fine...

***********

Early in the morning, Lei Meng asked Xu Yao for leave, and made an appointment with Dr. Li to drive Lei Zhentian to the hospital.Lei Zhentian was still in good spirits, and complained to Lei Meng that Li Yuping was making a fuss: "Oh, I just fainted for a while, and I'll be fine soon! I stood up again before 120 came, really—you brat What expression? Believe it or not, I will find you a few witnesses every minute!"

The corners of Lei Meng's mouth twitched, and he was helplessly perfunctory: "Trust, trust, old man, you have a long-term ambition, you are vigorous and strong, and you are as brave as ever..."

"Wait, what the hell is the last one!"

Lei Meng shrank his head to avoid Lei Zhentian's Tathagata palm: "Don't make trouble, Dad, I'm driving now!"

"It's not all because of you! If I faint, it's because of you!"

"It's all my fault, right? Take a deep breath, calm down, and don't get angry."

Xiao Kou Kou drove the car to the high speed, no matter how much Ren Lei Zhen blew his beard and stared, he had to sit obediently in the co-pilot.

Made it to the hospital smoothly.Lei Meng sent Lei Zhentian to the neurology department: "Dad, when I ask you later, you should tell the truth. Don't hide anything, remember!"

Lei Zhentian still glared at him angrily: "Did I go in to see a doctor, or to take a statement?"

"Hey, almost, you will be recorded as a medical record..."

Lei Zhentian thought he was wordy, so he waved his hand and went in.

Lei Meng waited outside boredly. The last time he came to the hospital and met Song Sifan was not long after he was promoted to the manager of the Asia-Pacific group.At that time, Xu Weichen hadn't come yet, Yang Qili hadn't lost her love, Song Sifan was still with Li Keran...

In just half a year, everyone has changed, and it seems like a lifetime away.

How all this happened, Raymond didn't even want to look back and think about it, he just felt like a boat without an anchor, sinking and sinking with the waves of fate, he couldn't see the land, and he didn't know where the harbor was.

In fact, he doesn't like to come to the hospital very much, so he comes the least to accompany Lei Zhentian for follow-up visits on a regular basis. Every time he goes to the hospital and sees birth, old age, sickness and death, this sense of fate will be stronger.

The more I struggle, the more I feel powerless. Everyone who comes to the hospital wants to survive. Is this strong desire to survive a means to fight against fate?

He glanced at the closed door of the Department of Neurology. When this fate befell his relatives, he really couldn't persuade himself to accept this fate quietly.

It's related to family and so on, but what if it's related to love?Should I fight desperately to keep it?

Yang Qili struggled, persuaded her to stay, and finally chose to marry someone else.If falling in love with Xu Yao is her fate, is her choice a way to fight against fate?

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Raymond took out the phone to take a look.

[Song Sifan: Didn't come to work today? 】

Because Lei Meng has not been officially transferred to the project management department, he asked Xu Yao for leave today.

[Raymond: Well, accompany my father to the hospital for a follow-up visit. 】

[Song Sifan: What's wrong with uncle? 】

[Raymond: I fainted last night, I should be fine. 】

[Song Sifan: Well, I'll wait for you to come back. 】

Lei Meng held his mobile phone and read the words "waiting for your return" several times, and his desolate heart felt a little warm again.

Song Sifan's situation should be worse than his own.Being at odds with his family, leaving his hometown to come to City B, and having to fight wits and courage with the people in the company every day, compared to him, his worries are nothing at all.

Speaking of it, Song Sifan never seemed to be bothered by his fate. When he fell in love with a man, he accepted the homosexuality very calmly; his family objected to this relationship, so he left his family property and ran to City B casually; Despite being rejected by the project management department, he appears to be letting his own way, but in fact takes every step of the way... he is simply a model of "my fate is up to me".

He has no complaints, struggles, or resentments. For him, life seems to be playing chess with fate.Fate falls, so does he.Fate made a move, and he had countermeasures.One ebbs and another, you come and I go.

This is a long game, and no one can guess the ending until the end.

The door of the department opened with a "squeak", and Lei Zhentian appeared behind the door. Lei Meng interrupted his thoughts, looked over Lei Zhentian and looked at Dr. Li: "Doctor Li, how are you?"

"It's not a big deal, just a little fluctuating, go back and take care of it, monitor your blood pressure at any time every day, don't worry about it." Doctor Li looked very relaxed, and a stone in Lei Meng's heart finally fell to the ground.

Without losing the opportunity, Lei Zhentian blinked at his son: "Look? What did I say?"

Doctor Li sent Lei Zhentian out, turned around and walked in, "Little Lei, come here and let your father sit outside for a while, I will prescribe some medicine, you go down and buy it, take it every day according to the doctor's advice."

"Okay, okay." Lei Meng quickly responded, helped Lei Zhentian sit down, and followed Dr. Li into the door.

Dr. Li motioned Lei Meng to sit down at the table, and put on a serious expression, Lei Meng followed with a tremor in his heart.

"Little Lei, as you know, your father had a cerebral hemorrhage before. He underwent surgery in time, and the surgery was also very successful. Later, he has been taking comprehensive rehabilitation treatment in stages. It seems that the effect has been good before."

"Hmm." It was that cerebral hemorrhage that made Lei Meng decide to come back from City C and stay in City B to take care of his parents.

"Generally speaking, as long as the patient's vital signs are stable and the condition is no longer progressing, we recommend rest-based rehabilitation. But this time we fainted, and we found that your father's intracranial pressure has become very high again. Visible Conservative medical treatment has failed to achieve the desired effect, so I suggest you consider surgical treatment.”

"Operation?"

"Well, that is... craniotomy."

"The risk of craniotomy is very high, and there may be sequelae, so you must think carefully."

"Doctor, do you need surgery?"

"Not necessarily. I will prescribe a few medicines and take them according to the instructions. If the condition is stable, I will be fine. If fainting occurs again, I will have to undergo surgery."

"……I see."

Coming out of Dr. Li's office, Lei Meng dragged his heavy body to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and walked to the parking lot in a daze.He went all the way to Xiao Kou Kou's car, only to find that Lei Zhentian was still sitting at the door of the neurology department waiting for him.

Lei Meng turned around mechanically, and walked into the hospital again. When he reached the fifth floor, the elevator door opened, and Lei Meng saw Lei Zhentian at a glance.

The old man with gray temples bent his body, no longer full of spirit.After sitting for a few minutes, he stood up and looked around, flustered like a toddler.

He is so...needing himself, just as he needed his father when he was a child.

Lei Meng took a deep breath, suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, tried to mobilize all the muscles on his face and smiled, and waved to Lei Zhentian: "Dad, I'm here!"

The old man turned his head suddenly, and the moment he saw his son, it was like sunlight shining into a dusty corner, and he grinned.

Lei Zhentian walked over quickly, and gave Lei Meng a slap: "Where did you go, you boy! It's easy for me to find you!"

"Who told you to always go out without your mobile phone..." Lei Meng's eyes were sore, he turned around quickly, and walked into the elevator first, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

The author has something to say: Why do you get more income if you stop updating for two days than for two consecutive weeks? !

It seems that if the income does not increase in the future, it will be discontinued...
