Rose Manor

It was past six o'clock in the morning, and the lights in the operating room were still on. In the corridor, a lonely figure was elongated by the lights.

In his youth, Pei Che was as bold and fearless as other boys. Because his family was well off, he tried a wider range of fields. He was good at racing, rock climbing, swimming, and skydiving. He was stronger than boys who could only immerse themselves in reading. 's physique.

He jumped into the water and tried his best to rescue the person. After holding on until now, the remaining strength in his body was exhausted. He slid to the ground with his back against the wall, his long legs bent, and his elbows rested on his knees. , his whole face buried in his arms, even simple things like breathing felt tired.

The passage of time seemed extremely long to him.

There was a sound of very light footsteps. Pei Che heard it and slowly raised his head. He knew that he was in such a miserable state that no one would suspect him if he was a beggar on the roadside.

His narrowed eyes gradually focused, and he saw clearly that the person coming was Su Wanhe who had saved him before. He didn't expect her to appear here.

The girl was holding water and food bought from the convenience store in her hands. She squatted next to him and softly comforted him: "Eat some food. If you continue like this, your body will collapse."

She glanced in the direction of the operating room. There was a light on the closed door, and the words "Under Surgery" were very eye-catching.

She knew that the girl lying inside was the person Pei Che held dear to his heart, the person he had loved for many years, and the person he had risked his own life to save.

Seeing him like this, she felt really distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Shen Jia Nian. She still needs someone to take care of her when she wakes up, right?" When Shen Jia Nian's name was mentioned, she saw Pei Che's gray eyes light up and continued, "You Who will take care of her if she falls?”

Pei Che moved his stiff and sore body, took the sandwich from her hand, tore open the wrapping paper and wolfed it down. There was no trace of the incomparable nobleness of a rich man.

Seeing that he was finally willing to eat, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, then unscrewed the lid of the oolong tea and handed it to him: "Drink some water, your lips are chapped."

Pei Che didn't refuse. He took it and tilted his neck up to drink it down. Before he could swallow it, the water dripped from the corner of his mouth and flowed down his neck into the collar of his shirt.

Make already wet clothes even wetter.

Seeing this, the girl took out a tissue from her pocket and wanted to wipe it for him, but he turned his head to avoid it.

Pei Che opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, please go back."

The girl lowered her eyelashes, slowly retracted her hand, and held the tissue in her hand.

She could only be close to him when he was injured and unable to move.

Even though she knew that he had someone in his heart, she couldn't help but follow him from Lingcheng to Beicheng, and then from Beicheng to this strange city, hoping that one day he would look back at her and find her. always there.

Now it seems that it was her extravagant hope after all.

Apart from Shen Jia Nian, there is no room for any other woman in his heart. Even if Shen Jia Nian is with someone else, he will silently guard her like a self-torture, and risk everything for her when she is in danger.

Once, when he returned from the Grand Theater, he had a large bruise on his back and was applying medicine to himself with difficulty in front of the mirror, when she suddenly broke into the room and caught him.

She asked him how he did it, but he didn't say. She guessed it was for Shen Jiannian.

On the night of Shen Jianian's public performance, he bought a ticket in the last row, disguised himself as an ordinary audience member, and sat in the crowd to watch her shine on the stage.

After it was over, he ordered a bouquet of flowers and gave it to her without leaving a single word.

That night, he wandered near the Grand Theater just to take a few more glances at her. Who knew, but what he saw was Shen Jia Nian being in love with another man.

The man took her to a Western restaurant for a candlelight dinner. It was raining outside. The man held an umbrella with one hand and held her shoulders with the other. The two of them cuddled together and hid under the umbrella. It was so sweet.

Pei Che stood alone on the street corner, soaked from head to toe in the rain.

When she went to look for him with an umbrella, he was still unwilling to leave. The two figures disappeared in the car, and he still stared persistently at the blurred outline of the car in the rain.

The car hadn't left yet, so it was hard not to suspect that they were making out in the car. They were adults and a couple, so it was normal for them to do something on a romantic rainy night.

She saw Pei Che's thin face full of sadness and loneliness, his eyes were scarlet, and his pale hands were leaning on the wall, with raised finger bones as sharp as knives.That was the first time he took the initiative to mention Shen Jianian's name to her. He affectionately called her "Xiao Nian" and said, "Xiao Nian doesn't like other people, right?"

She didn't know how to answer him.

Isn't what he saw with his own eyes the best answer?
Although his heart was repeatedly hurt and tortured, he still refused to leave and live his own life. Instead, he followed Shen Jia Nian like a shadow, not far or near.

This is why he was able to rescue Shen Jiannian immediately after her car accident and get the best treatment time for her.

Su Wanhe closed his eyes, turned around, left the corridor, and entered the elevator.

Pei Che turned herself into Shen Jianian's shadow, so she was Pei Che's shadow, always following him, refusing to give up even if he didn't see her.

Shortly after Su Wanhe left, the lights in the operating room went out.

Pei Che stood up precariously with his hands on the ground, staring at the closed door.

Not long after, the door moved to one side, and doctors in sterile suits walked out one after another. There was no fatigue on the face wearing a mask, only relief.

Pei Che rushed to the surgeon and staggered due to emotion. An anesthesiologist next to him who had just taken off his gloves supported him.

"Don't worry, the operation is very successful so far. She has been sent to the intensive care unit. We will send the best monitoring doctors to monitor her physical condition 24 hours a day." The surgical director who finally performed the brain surgery on Shen Jiannian said, " There were more than ten injuries on her face. The bleeding has been stopped after treatment, and nearly [-]% of her appearance was damaged. In the future, if she finds a skilled cosmetic doctor, she may be able to recover a little bit..."

But it was basically impossible to return to its original appearance. Eighty-nine of the wounds were extremely deep.

It is said that it was a car accident, and the window glass shattered and penetrated into the skin. It took more than an hour to debridement.

Pei Che first heard the words that the operation was successful, and his anxious heart was half relieved. He didn't care about his appearance, he just wanted Xiao Nian to survive.

"Thank you doctor."

Shen Jianian was pushed to the intensive care unit and was unable to see her for the time being. Pei Che dragged his tired body and followed the surgeon to see the director of the First Hospital.

The chief surgeon led Pei Che outside the dean's office, nodded to him, and did not go in for the time being.

Pei Che knocked on the door, and the dean himself came to open the door and invited him in.

In the middle of the night, while the operation was still in progress, the director came to the hospital from home and was always paying attention to the progress of the operation. When he learned that the process was going smoothly, he was heartbroken.

Pei's is one of the best in the country in the field of medical devices. The First Hospital has long-term cooperation with Pei. Last night, Pei's boss personally called him. It was impossible for him not to take it seriously.

Seeing Pei Che, the dean who was over fifty years old was inevitably surprised because he looked so miserable, haggard and weak, as if he might collapse at any time.

Pei Che did not speak to him in an official tone and directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Shen Jia Nian will be treated in the First Hospital until he is completely recovered and discharged. I don't want any news to be leaked, including the news that Shen Jia Nian is hospitalized here. Please explain to the director what will happen today. Shen Jianian, the doctors who performed the surgery and the relevant monitoring personnel."

Before the director could answer, he explained the terms of the offer: "In exchange, I will donate 5000 million in medical supplies on behalf of Mr. Pei and expand the inpatient building of the hospital to solve the problem of shortage of beds."

The dean immediately said that protecting patients' privacy is what the hospital should do, and on this basis, he would strictly enforce confidentiality.

Pei Che was worried and repeatedly told him not to let anyone else know about it.

He didn't know why Xiao Nian left Beicheng, but during those days when he followed her, he witnessed her coming out of a private restaurant. Not long after, Wei Ronghua, the eldest wife of the Fu family, also came out of there.

Of course he had no way of knowing what the two talked about, but he couldn't naively think that Xiao Nian's departure had nothing to do with the Fu family.

He didn't want Xiao Nian to be disturbed or hurt by anyone during the treatment. This "anyone" naturally included Fu Jichen.

In his opinion, Fu Jichen's failure to protect Xiao Nian was a first-class crime. (End of chapter)
