Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Realizing What Happened
Hearing Shen Xun’s words, Su Zhe had no objections. Not to mention Shen Xun, Su Zhe himself felt deep sympathy for Su Lu, and was quite angry about her condition.
Compared to Su Zhe’s lack of objections, Jing Su’s expression changed slightly to the side.
"Uh, cough," he coughed lightly, "Let’s go into the ward first."
"That’s true." Shen Xun nodded, but soon realized something seemed off.
He suddenly turned to look at Jing Su, "Ah Su, you said before..."
When Jing Su had sought Shen Xun out to donate blood, he had said that his younger brother-in-law was undergoing surgery, that he had a rare blood type and needed an emergency rescue from Jianghu...
Shen Xun had been too emotional earlier to catch on, but as his emotions settled, he realized something.
He had come here because of a call from Jing Su.
Before he realized this, Shen Xun had felt some gratitude towards Jing Su; if it weren’t for his call, there might not have been this opportunity, and he could have missed it.
But now, that gratitude was starting to sour.
Something about this seemed off.
Shen Xun frowned at Jing Su, who sensed his gaze and coughed again, saying, "Axun, serious matters first."
Shen Xun stared at him somberly for a moment, then finally said, "I’ll speak to you about this matter later."
The three of them then entered the ward together.
Cheng Youran, who had been lying beside the hospital bed holding Su Lu’s hand, looked up as they walked in and stood up.
"Senior, what’s wrong?" Cheng Youran, seeing the varied expressions on their faces, asked with concern.
Su Zhe pondered for a moment and quietly said, "Hmm, it’s nothing. The caregiver is here, so don’t worry. Go and get busy, and come back later."
The caregiver was a woman in her forties, brisk and attentive in her tasks.
Cheng Youran had no objections and stood up, "Okay then, I’ll go and get busy. I’ll come back later to see her."
She turned to the caregiver and said, "Sister Chen, I’ll leave her in your care."
"Ay, it’s no trouble at all. You go and take care of your things; I’ll take good care of Miss Su," Sister Chen hurriedly responded.
After Cheng Youran left the ward, Su Zhe turned to Sister Chen and also said, "Sorry to trouble you, but could you please step outside for a moment?"
"Sure." Sister Chen wasn’t nosy, so she had no objections. Without asking any further, she stepped out, only saying, "I’ll be waiting outside. Just call me if you need anything."
Once Sister Chen was out, Su Zhe walked to the bedside. His movements were brisk, as he was an excellent doctor, even though his hands were still blood-stained from earlier, which he had hidden behind his back so Cheng Youran wouldn’t see.
But now, he reached into a drawer nearby, took out a syringe, deftly connected it to her IV needle, drew a little less than half a syringe of blood, and then reconnected the IV tube.
Su Zhe handed the syringe containing a little less than half a syringe of blood to Shen Xun, "I’m not in good shape right now, and Lulu isn’t either; we both need to rest. You guys handle the rest of the matters."
"Thank you. Thank you so much." Shen Xun took the blood tube with both hands as if he were handling a landmine, "You should rest well now."
Shen Xun didn’t linger here any longer as he needed to immediately take the sample for testing.
Upon leaving the hospital room, Jing Su asked Shen Xun, "Are you carrying the comparison sample on you right now?"
Shen Xun nodded, "I’ve always carried my mother’s sample information with me, so we can directly compare it once the chart is produced."
Over the years he had done this so many times that the process had become very familiar to him, and it all came to him quite naturally.
"That’s good. I thought this might stir up your mother," Jing Su said.
Because even though Jing Su wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about this, he was still somewhat aware that sibling comparisons weren’t as accurate, but if it was a direct blood relative like parent and child, there was no doubt about it.
Shen Xun shook his head, "In the past, every time I troubled her when I was young and naive, it went from hope to disappointment. I was immature and only thought about my own disappointment, never considering how my mother might feel. Every time, she had to swallow her disappointment and comfort me. So later..."
Later, he simply couldn’t bear to let his mother share in the disappointment with him each time.
It was better not to disturb his mother before receiving any good news.
"That makes sense." Jing Su nodded, understanding the toll such emotional ups and downs could take on a mother. Going through this repeatedly was enough to wear anyone out.
"Let’s not talk about this." Shen Xun looked at Jing Su, "Ah Su, I just thought of something... before you called me here, remember what you told me? About your brother’s precious one... you were talking about Su Lu, weren’t you? She could possibly be my family’s Qianqian’s girl."
"Cough." Jing Su coughed once, "Don’t get too excited yet, wait until the results come back."
"Let’s wait until the results come back, but if this really is my family’s Qianqian..." Shen Xun stared intently at Jing Su, "you’d better explain everything to me properly then. No matter whether he’s Jing Su’s cheap brother or Jing Su’s legitimate brother, I won’t hold back. What I, Shen Xun, say, I can do."
Jing Su’s brows furrowed upon hearing this. Shen Xun’s words were quite direct, but considering Shen Xun’s obsessive search over the years, it could all be understood.
"Anyway, just keep calm for now." Jing Su felt a headache coming on; he had merely intended to lend a helping hand, never anticipating that he’d get embroiled in such an affair; caught between two sides, it was a thankless task indeed.
What an exhausting situation.
After Jing Su and Shen Xun left the patient room, Su Zhe sat down beside the bed.
Su Lu hadn’t awakened, lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, but she seemed restless in her sleep, probably due to pain—post-surgery pain was no joke, and she wasn’t allowed to take any painkillers.
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Sister Chen, the nursing aide, came in and gently wiped her brow with a warm towel, sighing lightly, "It’s tough, really tough. Enduring post-surgery pain without complaint isn’t easy; she’s a strong girl—she didn’t even make a peep. I’ve taken care of post-op patients before who still cried and screamed in pain despite being on analgesics."
Su Zhe felt a peculiar, unpleasant taste listening to these words.
He reached out to gently touch Su Lu’s thin face.
Yes, ever since she joined the Su Family, what kind of life had she been living? After enduring many years of hardships, now she was able to bear the pain without uttering a sound.
Although there were contradictions in Su Zhe’s heart, from a certain perspective, he hoped Shen Xun’s wish would be fulfilled.
If that were the case, perhaps Lulu wouldn’t have to suffer anymore and could live a very good life.
