Chen Liyang looked at the visitor and was surprised: "Chengdong, why are you here?"
"I was worried, so I came here." Zhou Chengdong looked up at Chen Liyang. His face was so red that he could bleed from running, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down the tip of his nose.
It's not hard to imagine how hard he ran.
After understanding the patient's condition, the nurse entered the operating room.
Chen Liyang came to Zhou Chengdong's side distressedly: "I see you are sweating profusely while running. Dad, please wipe it off for you!"
After touching his pocket, he remembered that he didn't bring a tissue, but that didn't bother him, so he directly picked up his clothes and wiped the boss's forehead.
The white clothes were quickly soaked with sweat. After wiping them off, Chen Liyang put down the clothes without caring, and then pulled the boss to sit on the chair in the corridor outside the operating room: "You sit here and rest for a while, I'll go I’ll buy you a bottle of water.”
Zhou Chengdong is not so tired now, and his breathing is not as rapid as when he first arrived.
He leaned back on the seat, but looked at the person who was buying water from the vending machine.
All he could think about was the image of him using his clothes to wipe his sweat, but he didn't dislike himself at all.
Chen Liyang used his mobile phone to scan the code at the vending machine and bought two bottles of mineral water, one for himself and one for Zhou Chengdong.
"Thank you!" Looking at the water handed to him, Zhou Chengdong reached out to take it, opened the bottle cap with a slight twist of his hand, then raised his head and took a few sips.
After struggling all the way, Chen Liyang's highly nervous expression slowly relaxed at this moment. He also took a few sips of water, and then looked at the boss curiously: "How did you know I was in this hospital?"
To be honest, he really didn't expect that the boss would come looking for him and show up like a timely rain.
But fortunately he arrived in time, otherwise the operation on the fourth child would have been delayed for who knows how long.
Zhou Chengdong explained: "I guess you will definitely send your brother to the nearest hospital, and the Third Hospital is closest to where we eat. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so I came here."
Listening to the boss's understatement, Chen Liyang was thinking about how he got here: "You don't have any money, so you ran all the way here?"
The restaurant was at least seven or eight kilometers away from the Third Hospital. He couldn't imagine how Zhou Chengdong could run here on two legs in such a short period of time.
"Thanks to you taking us for a morning jog every morning. Plus, I also exercise regularly. Seven or eight kilometers is nothing to me." Zhou Chengdong replied nonchalantly, not wanting Chen Liyang to worry.
But the more sensible he is, the more distressed Chen Liyang is: "You kid, you don't have to worry about hurting your body if you run just after eating."
"What's wrong with Xiaobei? Why do he need surgery if he's fine?" Not wanting to dwell too much on this topic, Zhou Chengdong calmly changed the subject.
Speaking of this, Chen Liyang immediately put on a self-blaming expression: "It's all my fault. I didn't notice that Xiaobei couldn't eat, which caused him to overeat and burst his stomach. The doctor needs to perform surgery to repair it." His stomach is patched up."
"How could this happen? Eating can burst your stomach. Will Xiaobei be okay? Will there be any sequelae or something?" Zhou Chengdong was shocked. He never knew that eating could cause such serious consequences. as a result of.
Chen Liyang sighed slightly: "The doctor said it was delivered in time and there won't be any big problems. It's just that why Xiaobei still eats when he can't eat. Is it because he is afraid that I will scold him for being wasteful?"
If it was because of this, he felt quite uncomfortable, which meant that he had failed too much as a stepfather.
"Don't think too much. Everyone has seen your changes during this period. Xiaobei must have done this for other reasons. You will know when he wakes up after the operation." Zhou Chengdong comforted him softly when he saw his uncomfortable look. .
Chen Liyang thought of the previous atrocities committed by the original owner, and suddenly wanted to ask a question.
So, he looked at the boss seriously: "Have you ever wondered why I have changed so much?"
"Yes!" Zhou Chengdong nodded without hesitation. He was not only curious, but simply puzzled.
They even doubted whether Chen Liyang had been snatched away, otherwise why would he appear to be a different person without any warning.
But this idea is too science fiction, and he has always been an atheist.
Now that he heard Chen Liyang take the initiative to mention it, he really wanted to know the reason why he could become completely different in a short period of time.
Chen Liyang looked directly into the boss's eyes, with an uncertain tone: "If...I mean if, I am not your stepfather, will you blame me for taking your stepfather's body?"
"No, no matter who you are, we all like you now!" Zhou Chengdong answered affirmatively.
This answer made Chen Liyang smile, and he knew that sincerity would definitely be exchanged for sincerity.
"So, you are really not him? Then who are you?" Although Zhou Chengdong had doubts, after hearing the answer, he still felt a storm in his heart. There is really such a weird thing in this world.
Chen Liyang shook his head: "Don't think too much, I just asked casually, who else could I be if I wasn't my stepfather? It's just my conscience that made me better."
It was enough to hear the answer he wanted. As for the fact that he wore books, it was too unbelievable, let alone whether the children would believe it.
Even if word gets out, he must not be used as a guinea pig.
Although he repeatedly stated that he was their stepfather, Zhou Chengdong already had the answer in his heart.
This answer made him extremely happy, and he no longer had to fight mentally when facing him in the future.
Otherwise, he will always think of the past and the harm he caused to them. Although he has changed for the better, those harms have long been engraved in his heart.
It is a big test for him to forgive someone who has done cruel things to himself and his brothers and sisters.
Because once he forgives, it means that he has betrayed his former self and the vow he gave up at that time.
Now, his inner uneasiness has been resolved. He has never liked his bloodthirsty and cruel stepfather, so there is no question of forgiveness.
He also understood Chen Liyang's concerns about not telling the truth to him. After all, if he told such things, he would either be regarded as a lunatic, or he would be dragged to the laboratory to be used as a guinea pig.
As the eldest son in the family, I have the obligation to keep this secret for him.
Chen Liyang didn't know that he had been completely exposed in front of the boss. In order to divert the boss's attention, he kept rambling and chatting.
The boss also responded to every topic he asked cooperatively and was very obedient.
Looking at such a sensible and considerate boss, Chen Liyang couldn't help but think about how brilliant his future would be if he hadn't gone astray.
The operation lasted for an hour and a half. The door to the operating room finally opened. When he heard the movement, Chen Liyang stood up and walked over: "Doctor, how was the operation?"
"The operation was successful. The patient is still sleeping. He will wake up when the anesthesia wears off." The doctor replied.
After listening to the doctor's words, Chen Liyang thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hard work, doctor." After saying that, he made a ninety-degree bow.
Now he could finally understand the feelings of parents waiting in front of their children's operating room.
