Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1661
Chapter 1661: Tears of Joy
Xie Qingying looked at the simple words on her phone. “I believe you, Don’t cry.” Her heart stopped beating for a moment.
Did she really move He Zhichu?
She had a crush on him for so long, so long that she thought there was no hope. However, she realized that there was a sudden turn of events. Not only was there hope, but the dawn of victory was just ahead.
Xie Qingying’s tears fell quickly and anxiously on the phone screen. She quickly wiped them with her hand, but she touched the touch screen and pushed He Zhichu’s reply to an invisible place.
How could she do that?
Xie Qingying couldn’t be bothered to wipe her tears. She quickly took out a Hermes scarf from her LV tote briefcase and randomly wiped it on the phone screen.
He Zhichu waited for a while. When he saw that she didn’t reply, he was about to put away his phone when he saw Xie Qingying send another text message. “… I’m crying from joy.”
He Zhichu looked at this text message and the expression in his eyes changed slightly. However, he only took a glance before he turned off his phone and didn’t reply to Xie Qingying.
Xie Qingying stared at her phone for an entire hour, but she didn’t receive a reply from He Zhichu. Only then did she confirm that he wouldn’t reply.
She was slightly disappointed, but she quickly pulled herself together.
She had waited for so many years, so why should she care about the time now.
Moreover, with such a big incident at the revolving restaurant, He Zhichu must be very busy right now.
When Xie Qingying was a teenager, she left home to study abroad. After she received her master’s degree, she returned to start her own business. She had always been an independent woman, not a delicate and weak woman who could only cling to a man.
Therefore, she had never thought of clinging to He Zhichu all the time.
She contributed, and he responded. At this stage, this was enough.
Xie Qingying was in a good mood and returned to work.
..
He Zhichu sat in Grandfather Qin’s ward without saying a word.
His handsome face was cold, and his expression was austere. His gaze never left Grandfather Qin’s hospital bed.
Old Master Qin had been lying peacefully on the hospital bed. The data of all kinds of instruments showed that everything was normal. The surgery seemed to be very successful.
A few hours had passed, and the doctors and nurses had only come to check on the room once. They discussed the data on the instruments with Qin Yaoguang, who was sitting in front of Old Master Qin’s hospital bed. They also discussed the pros and cons of the gamma knife surgery.
It could be seen that they respected Qin Yaoguang very much. Even though she was now a prisoner, they still treated her with respect.
Moreover, this respect wasn’t because she was the daughter of the chairman, nor was it because she was the dean of the hospital. It was because they sincerely respected her professional expertise.
He Zhichu watched from the side coldly. His figure seemingly blended into a dark corner of the ward, and his sense of presence so low that the doctors and nurses had forgotten about He Zhichu’s existence.
Qin Yaoguang wore a green surgical gown that was specially used by surgeons. She wore a green cap on her head and sat with her back facing He Zhichu. Even though she didn’t turn her head, she knew that He Zhichu had been looking at her.
But what was the use of looking at her?
Qin Yaoguang laughed coldly in her heart. She curled her lips and continued to look at the data on the instrument.
In the wee hours of the morning, the quiet device suddenly started to scream crazily.
He Zhichu jumped up from the sofa and strode over. “What happened?”
Qin Yaoguang rushed over and shouted at the pager in the ward, “Help! Help! The patient’s blood pressure is rising, his body temperature is rising, his heart rate is increasing, he is shivering, and he has a severe gastrointestinal reaction!”
Severe gastrointestinal reactions were usually vomiting and diarrhea.
He Zhichu looked over and saw that Old Master Qin was foaming at the mouth. Soon, his face was covered with foam, and some of the vomit was almost blocking his nose.
In this kind of situation, the patient would most likely suffocate.
Qin Yaoguang didn’t care about the mess and used her hands to help Old Master Qin clean up the vomit in his mouth.
Many doctors and nurses pushed the door open and came in to carry out a comprehensive examination of Old Master Qin.
“Is there a problem with the surgery?”
“The surgery was very smooth, but the surgery related to the brain was inherently risky. Moreover, my father is old, and the organs in his body are gradually failing. He might not be able to withstand the after-effects of the surgery,” Qin Yaoguang said in a deep voice, “Hurry up and give him a shot to prevent side effects. I remember that the hospital imported a batch of this medicine. Do you still have it?”
“Also, we will bring it to the chairman’s intravenous drip immediately.”
Under Qin Yaoguang’s command, the doctors and nurses methodically performed postoperative care for Old Master Qin.
After a flurry of activity, Old Master Qin’s condition finally stabilized. He stopped vomiting. His temperature and blood pressure also gradually dropped, and his heartbeat also returned to normal.
Due to this small incident, Qin Yaoguang requested that her stay be extended for another 12 hours.
“Young Master He, you saw it. My father is still in critical condition, and he is still in a state where he can die at any moment.” Qin Yaoguang wiped her tears and pleaded, “I definitely won’t leave. You can always stay here and keep an eye on me.”
He Zhichu said calmly, “An extension of another 12 hours requires the approval of the military. You can apply. If they agree, I have no objections.”
Qin Yaoguang nodded. “I’ll go apply.”
She found a doctor to write a certificate, and she also wrote a request for an extension of her stay, then gave it to He Zhichu.
After He Zhichu sealed it, he had his orderly send it to the military.
When dawn broke, the military agreed to Qin Yaoguang’s request. They asked her to stay for another twelve hours and return to the detention center after Old Master Qin was out of danger.
Since the military agreed, He Zhichu had no way to object.
He just continued to sit in Old Master Qin’s ward and coldly watched what Qin Yaoguang was up to.
During the extended twelve hours, Old Master Qin’s condition repeated again. It was still high fever, elevated blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and chills. At the same time, he also vomited.
However, under the care of Qin Yaoguang and the others, Old Master Qin returned to normal again.
The sun rose and set again, and the sky grew dark again.
He Zhichu looked at his watch. Soon, it would be twelve hours again.
During these twelve hours, he really had to waste time with Qin Yaoguang. Even if he went to the bathroom, he would have a platoon of soldiers guard the door of the ward.
Qin Yaoguang couldn’t escape even if she had wings.
He stood up and walked around the ward casually while looking around at the equipment in the ward.
When he walked past a ventilator placed beside the bed, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Everything in the ward jolted up and down before his eyes. It was as if he was standing on a turbulent sea. The soles of his feet felt so soft that he couldn’t step on the ground. He almost lost his balance.
He Zhichu quickly held onto the ventilator. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pinched the palm of his hand.
The intense pain woke him up. When he opened his eyes, the dizziness from before had disappeared.
His feet returned to the solid ground. The shaking sensation just now seemed to just be an illusion.
He Zhichu knew that something was wrong.
The feeling just now seemed to be the same as when he had a seizure in the past.
But he had already been cured.
He hadn’t had a relapse in the past ten years.
He suddenly looked at Qin Yaoguang, but Qin Yaoguang still had her head lowered. She was holding on to Old Master Qin’s hand and mumbling that she hoped that he would wake up as soon as possible.
Although he had no evidence this was her doing, He Zhichu’s vigilance increased even more.
He composed himself and immediately said to Qin Yaoguang, “The 12 hours will be up soon. We can leave now.”
Actually, there were still 15 minutes left, but He Zhichu didn’t want to wait any longer. His instincts told him that something was wrong.
Even though he still didn’t understand what was wrong.
Qin Yaoguang raised her head and looked at him with a faint smile. “Young Master He, there are still 15 minutes left. Can I stay with my father for another 15 minutes?”
At this moment, Old Master Qin grunted and woke up from his coma.
His eyes seemed to be unable to adopt to the light in the ward. He blinked a few times before he rolled his eyes and looked at Qin Yaoguang, who was sitting in front of his bed.
“Yaoguang, you have suffered.” Old Master Qin, wanting to caress Qin Yaoguang’s head, raised his trembling hand that was holding the IV drip.
Qin Yaoguang’s emotions were mixed, and she burst into tears. She laid on his bed while crying like a child.
As she cried, He Zhichu felt dizzy again.
However, he tried his best to control himself. He stood upright against the wall and holding his phone in his hand, he called his father via emergency contact.
This number had already been programmed into his phone. As long as he pressed a button, he would be able to call it immediately.
After making the call, He Zhichu took out the Swiss army knife that he always carried with him and stabbed himself in the palm of his hand.
Relying on the moment of clarity brought by the sharp pain, He Zhichu strode towards the door of the ward.
“Surround the entire ward! Before General He Chengjian arrives, kill anyone who enters or leaves!”
He Zhichu rushed out of the ward with his last shred of consciousness and fell in front of his soldiers.
His personal secretary and orderly quickly went forward to cover him. At the same time, all the soldiers loaded their rifles and stood guard outside the ward. No one was allowed to enter or leave.
