Sang Qianqian looked at Sang Minglang who was wrapped up like a mummy, not knowing what to feel.
“Brother, I really don’t understand you anymore.”
“I don’t need you to understand what I do.”
Lying on the bed with such injuries, Sang Minglang was in a good mood. “Just take care of yourself. Didn’t Hanyu ask you to resign and stay at home to recuperate? Why didn’t you go to sleep at this time of the night and come to the hospital? I won’t die from this injury. Now go back quickly.”
Sang Minglang knew she had resigned from her job. However, Sang Qianqian had only found out about her pregnancy tonight and hadn’t told anyone about it.
She was hesitating whether she should tell her brother when she heard hurried footsteps behind her. “Minglang,”
It was her brother’s girlfriend, Zhang Xue.
This was Sang Qianqian’s second time meeting Zhang Xue after Sang Minglang had first introduced her.
In fact, Sang Qianqian had asked him to bring Zhang Xue home for dinner many times recently, but he would always say that he was busy or couldn’t do so, causing her to have little contact with this sister-in-law.
At this moment, Zhang Xue looked flustered. Her shoulder-length hair was a little messy, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she had run all the way here.
It had been a year since she graduated and worked, but she still looked like a student. She had a clear and clean temperament. Although she was bare-faced, her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was gentle and charming.
When she saw Sang Qianqian, she greeted her uncomfortably, “Qianqian.”
“Hello, Sister-in-law.” Sang Qianqian smiled.
Zhang Xue was slightly stunned by the way he addressed her as sister-in-law. It seemed like she was not used to this title, and her face turned slightly red.
She turned around and asked about Sang Minglang’s condition, her concern and worry overflowing from her words.
However, she still didn’t know who he saved earlier, so she couldn’t help but ask, “It’s so late, why didn’t you go home earlier? What were you doing in the hospital?”
“I was here to see a friend,” Sang Minglang said lightly.
Zhang Xue did not understand the situation, and thus asked, “Then why did you go and catch the person who fell off the building?”
She was currently living with Sang Minglang, but seeing that he hadn’t returned home after a long time, she couldn’t help but call him. In the end, the doctor who picked up the phone told her that he had been hospitalized because he was injured from saving someone, so she rushed over.
Sang Minglang seemed unwilling to answer her question, but he still said patiently, “Coincidentally.”
“God bless me that I only hurt my bones. What if I hit my head?”
Zhang Xue patted her chest gently and said with lingering fear, “I saw the news before. There was a person who caught someone barehanded like this. The person he saved from falling was a child, but it was enough for him to suffer a brain injury, and even till now, he’s still laying in bed…”
Sang Minglang couldn’t help but interrupt her, “Aren’t I fine? Alright, stop talking. It’s so noisy that it makes me dizzy.”
Zhang Xue was not angry either. She said gently, “Alright, then I won’t say anymore.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart tightened slightly as she asked, “Brother, are you feeling dizzy?”
Sang Minglang closed his eyes, “If you don’t speak, 1’11 be fine.”
Zhang Xue was really quiet and did not make a sound.
When she turned around to look at Sang Qianqian, she almost mouthed, “1’11 take care of Minglang here. You should go back and rest.”
Sang Qianqian nodded. “Thankyou, Sister-in-law.”
As she spoke, she stood up. “Brother, I’ll go to the attending physician and ask about the situation.”
“Go back quickly after you’re done asking. Don’t come again.”
Sang Minglang waved his hand. “Listen to Shen Hanyu and rest well at home. When he comes back, let me hear the good news of your pregnancy as soon as possible.”
Sang Qianqian was embarrassed, “Brother!”
Zhang Xue was still here. Could he be more careful with his words?
He laughed. However, he had only laughed once when his wound pulled open, causing him to grimace in pain.
“Seeing that you’re injured, I won’t hold it against you this time.”
“I’ll have to trouble you with my brother, Sister-in-law.” Sang Qianqian smiled at Zhang Xue.
Zhang Xue’s face flushed red again. “No worries. It’s what I should do.”
When she came out of the ward, the smile on Sang Qianqian’s face disappeared and she went to find Sang Minglang’s attending physician.
In the office, a few doctors were looking at a scan on the screen and whispering something.
Although Sang Qianqian was originally a practitioner of Chinese medicine, she met the doctors in the hospital frequently, so they knew each other.
When he turned around and saw her enter, the attending physician quickly stood up. “Qianqian, come and sit.”
Sang Qianqian looked at the MR1 scan on the screen. “Is this the result of my brother’s examination?”
“Yes, when he did the CT scan previously, there was a part of his body that wasn’t quite visible. We couldn’t determine if it was a bleeding point or a shadow. Therefore, after treating the wound, I asked to do an MRI scan of his head to be more certain.”
The doctor said, “The results are in.”
“How is it?” Sang Qianqian asked hurriedly.
“Not only did your brother have multiple fractures on his body, but there are also some injuries on his brain.”
The attending physician’s expression was grave. “There seems to be a hemorrhage on his brain.”
He pointed at a certain part of the scan. “Although the amount of bleeding is very small at the moment, we need to observe it. If the amount doesn’t increase in the next two to three days, it should not be a big problem, and we can just treat it conservatively. However, hemorrhages in this area are quite rare. Therefore, it could likely scatter. As for the follow-up…”
Sang Qianqian’s heart seemed to be hanging on thin threads. “What will happen next?”
“It’s not really a good outcome so far. His life will likely be in danger. Even if he can be rescued…”
The attending physician looked at her with some sympathy. “He might face different degrees of disability, including sensory, language, and motor system deterioration.”
The invisible thread around her heart seemed to have suddenly tightened. Sang Qianqian’s breathing stopped, and her vision turned black.
The list of disabilities the doctor had listed were actually caused by paralysis of the limbs, unclear speech, and even inability to take care of themselves.
Her brother was such a proud person. If such a situation happened, how could he accept it?
When she returned to the ward, Sang Minglang was talking to Zhang Xue, his tone cold and impatient.
Sang Qianqian didn’t go in. She stood outside the door and listened for a while. Her brother was telling Zhang Xue to hurry back.
However, no matter what he said, she refused to leave. “You’re already injured like this. Even if I go back, I won’t be able to sleep. Why don’t you let me accompany you here? I’ll feel more at ease.”
Her expression was gentle as she said carefully, “If you find me noisy, I won’t say anything.”
“Have you forgotten what our relationship is?” Sang Minglang frowned. “1 really don’t need you here.”
He said coldly, “Do you really think that you’re her sister-in-law just because Qianqian calls you that?”
Zhang Xue’s eyes were slightly red as she held back her tears. “I know my identity. I’ve never dared to have such extravagant hopes.”
She lowered her head and said stubbornly, “However, I’m your secretary. Right now, my boss is injured. So how can I leave? Even if President Sang doesn’t want me to be here, I have the responsibility to take care of you. Otherwise, if any of the company’s leaders use this as an excuse in the future, 1 wouldn’t be able to defend myself..”
