Apex Predator - Chap 121
There were two knocks on the door, and the doctor pushed open the door of the ward and walked in: “The visiting time is almost here. The patient just woke up and needs a full rest.” Shen Dai secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he could not continue to face
Qu Moyu The frank and affectionate eyes made him at a loss.
At this time, Liang Rui walked in with Qiuqiu in his arms, and discussed with the doctor: “Wait, give us a few more minutes, he wants to see the child.”
The doctor nodded in acquiescence.
“The nanny just brought Qiuqiu here.” Liang Rui walked to the bed, looked at Qu Moyu and sighed heavily.
Qu Moyu reassured: “Mom, I’m fine.”
Qiuqiu stretched out his small hand, grabbed Qu Moyu from the air, and made a “yiyi” sound.
“Baby.” Qu Moyu also stretched out his hand, letting Qiuqiu hold his index finger, with a slight smile on his pale face.
Qiuqiu kicked his legs excitedly.
Liang Rui smiled with red eyes: “You smell like iodophor all over your body, and your glands are injured again. I’m afraid he won’t recognize you.” “He
can.” Qu Moyu said, “He wants me to hug him. Shen
Dai patted Qiuqiu’s buttocks: “You’ve already slept enough, don’t play tricks, be good.”
Qiuqiu held Qu Moyu’s fingers tightly, and there was an uncooperative moan in his throat.
“It’s okay, you put him on me.” Qu Moyu glanced at the doctor who was about to step forward to stop him, “Just for a while, the wound won’t be touched.”
Shen Dai looked at him hesitantly.
“It’s really fine.” Qu Moyu shook Qiuqiu’s little hand with his fingers, “Even if I can’t release the pheromone now, he still knows who I am, and he wants Dad to hug him.” Qu Moyu
looked Qiu Qiu’s eyes were too doting and gentle, the invisible bond between father and son made Shen Dai’s heart soften, he and Liang Rui looked at each other, they supported Qiu Qiu together, and carefully let the child Lie on Qu Moyu’s chest.
Shen Dai stroked Qiuqiu’s back, and said softly, “You must not move around.”
Qiuqiu seemed to understand, and put his face against Qu Moyu’s heart, blinking his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up from time to time, short and short. His limbs are all in place, as well-behaved as a puppy taking a nap. Of course, the smell of disinfectant and medicine on Qu Moyu’s body was unpleasant, and the injured glands couldn’t release the fragrance of black sandalwood, but Qiuqiu looked very peaceful, as if he belonged here, and What he needs is not pheromone, but the person holding him.
Qu Moyu’s big hand covered Qiuqiu’s back and patted it lightly. Normally, this weight would not be a big deal, but at this time he did feel that Qiuqiu was weighing on him a little short of breath, but he enjoyed the sense of security and belonging that this small weight brought him, a voice said He said from the bottom of his heart, this is his child, the child born to him by his omega, the life he and Shen Dai jointly created, and the deepest and heaviest bond between them in this world.
He experienced an indescribable happiness.
This warm scene made the whole ward quiet, Shen Dai’s nose was slightly sore, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
After watching Qu Moyu, Shen Dai originally wanted to take Qiuqiu to visit his grandma and then go home, but grandma has not woken up since morning.
The doctor invited Shen Dai into the office, and Shen Dai had a bad premonition in his heart. “Mr. Shen, your elderly’s condition is getting worse and worse. Have
you contacted the targeted drug experiment team that Mr. Qu found for you?”
The treatment plan provided by grandma’s situation.” Shen Dai said in a deep voice, “We still have to have surgery, right?”
The doctor nodded: “We also held an online meeting to discuss it. First of all, through some clinical data, the drug must be effective. Yes, but it has not been tested on such an elderly patient, and the second is that medicine alone cannot prevent the expansion of the lesion, and it is possible to achieve the best effect with surgery.” “However, surgery…” Shen Dai took a deep breath
, “I’m afraid grandma won’t be able to make it through, and it’s too painful.”
“Any treatment is accompanied by risks, and the possibility of failure is very high, which you also understand.”
Shen Dai slumped on the back of the chair, his eyes were gray and unable to see a gleam of light: “I checked some In medical literature, I have read many cases, but you can actually speak more bluntly, I have been mentally prepared for so long, and I can accept anything, to be honest, there is no difference between cured and dead, right? ”
The doctor pushed his glasses: “I can’t say that. Every family member has a different understanding of the patient’s condition, and the expectation of the condition is also…” ”
Doctor.” Shen Dai interrupted him, looking down at the patient. Touching the floor, he said in a hoarse voice, “I know there are many things you can’t say, but I know very well in my heart that the possibility of the operation failing is very high. Even if it succeeds, the medicine will also work. To die, to live in pain, just to ‘live’.”
The doctor was silent.
“I have thought about the meaning of illness and death since I was very young. Although I don’t have any real answers now, I know the limitations of modern medicine.” Shen Dai raised his head, his eyes became calm, “My grandma has always She is a delicate and decent woman. The coffee must be freshly brewed, and there must be flowers at home every day. As long as she goes out, there should be no wrinkles on her clothes. She will cry when she scratches her hand with a kitchen knife. She is afraid of embarrassment and pain. Living without dignity is not what she wants.”
“You mean…”
“I originally planned to reject that team, although they had good intentions.” Shen Dai felt indescribably uncomfortable.
When she returned to the ward, grandma was still unconscious. She was as thin as a bone frame, and the quilt covered her body with only a slight ups and downs. If she didn’t get close, she couldn’t even tell if she was breathing.
Shen Qin stood up, he had just cried, his eyes were red, he whispered: “How is your talk with the doctor?”
The two walked to the window, Shen Dai asked: “How long has it been since she woke up.”
“It’s been almost a day, and I can’t wake up. It seems that I don’t recognize anyone.” Shen Qin said, his eyes became wet again, “I can hardly eat, and I rely on nutrient solution. Didn’t Mr. Qu say that he contacted us? A particularly powerful tumor experiment team, how is it going?”
Shen Dai shook his head, his upper and lower teeth were shaking and fighting, and he said softly, “Stop torturing her.”
Shen Qin understood what he meant, and burst into tears. Immediately fell down uncontrollably, and he nodded while crying: “Alright, don’t suffer a little.”
Shen Dai leaned against the window sill, quietly looking at the old man on the hospital bed, and what appeared in front of him was her. It used to be a picture of wearing a beautiful Sujin cheongsam and playing the piano in a garden full of flowers.
“If mom leaves, you will have an alpha who treats you well, and if you have your own child, I will have nothing to worry about.” Shen Qin said softly.
Perhaps grief has the same frequency of contagion. At this moment, facing his grandmother who is about to pass away, the string of family affection in Shen Dai’s heart was greatly touched. Whether he hated or loathed Shen Qin, it seemed that at this moment he also It’s not that important anymore, he knew that Shen Qin was worried about what he would do after his grandma left, so he said lightly: “I will give you old age.”
Shen Qin smiled: “Old… I can’t imagine what it is to be old It seems that my youth and middle age were a mess, and my old age would be even worse.”
Facing this sudden introspection, Shen Dai didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Shen Qin didn’t seem to need any answer, he wiped away his tears and said, “Fortunately, you’re not like me.”
The next day, when Shen Dai took Qiuqiu to see Qu Moyu, he told about his decision on grandma’s follow-up treatment.
Qu Moyu nodded: “Your consideration is correct. At the end of life, one should preserve dignity as much as possible and reduce pain.”
Shen Dai looked at Qiuqiu lying on Qu Moyu’s calf, trying to climb up with both hands and feet. Qiuqiu’s development has always been slightly earlier than children of the same age, and he has begun to learn to crawl at seven months. One day, the child will have a new change. It is also his favorite relative. One life has just started, but the other is heading towards the end. Rationality made him very sad, and he said slowly: “No matter what, thank you for this matter.” ”
You never need to be polite to me.” Qu Moyu stared at Shen Dai, “That is your dearest relative.” , I just want to create one more choice for you, so that you have as few regrets as possible, and the final decision is up to you.”
Faced with Qu Moyu’s various kindness, Shen Dai couldn’t turn a blind eye, but he didn’t think about how to face it correctly. For Qu Moyu, at this moment, it seems that whatever he thinks about Qu Moyu is reasonable, and how he looks at the relationship between them can also find a self-consistent logic.
He realizes that he is not good at dealing with emotions. It is not that he has a clear love and hate. Even if he understands emotions, emotions are an extremely luxurious and precious thing. Most people will only be self-defeating when they hold them in their hands. The more force they use, the more they will destroy , perhaps, when love and hate are entangled, you can sort out a clear context from the mess, see the other person and see yourself, and you have the ability to control emotions.
He’s not good enough, he’s in chaos, he can tackle a subject for ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime, but seeing the clear affection in Qu Moyu’s eyes, he just wants to escape.
“I’m going to the Public Security Bureau. The police want me to cooperate with the investigation, and your family’s lawyer is waiting for me.” Shen Dai looked up at the clock on the wall, “The nanny will come in and take Qiuqiu back soon.” Shen Dai
said He was about to stand up, but Qu Moyu grabbed his hand. A second ago, he was lying weakly, but now his movements were so agile that he didn’t look like a patient at all, and he also sat up.
Shen Dai was stunned for a while: “You can’t get up yet.”
“It’s okay, I hurt the flesh on my neck, not my spine.” Qu Moyu pressed Shen Dai’s hand on the quilt, “What’s the matter with going to the Public Security Bureau? Be anxious, now is the parent-child time for our family of three.”
“…”
Qu Moyu shook his legs, and Qiuqiu swayed from side to side “in the water” like he was hugging a piece of driftwood. He thought the adults were playing with him, so he kept giggling, and he laughed too: ” Didn’t you realize that when both of us are together, Qiuqiu feels the safest and happiest.”
Shen Dai looked at Qiuqiu, the smile bloomed on his fair and tender face like a flower, and his shoulders slowly Hanging down, he found that he couldn’t bear to deprive Qiuqiu and Qu Moyu of the happiness they had together.
