The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Chapter 230 1 False Alarm

Because Ruyi had never told Darong about Zhong Yunxing's condition, but asked Xiao Huya to pick her up to the hospital early in the morning. She didn't say a word along the way, but the anxiety in her heart had already reached its peak.

When Darong arrived at the hospital, Zhong Yunxing was already in the operating preparation room. He kept calling to confirm whether Darong had arrived, until he heard Darong's voice from Ruyi's phone. Only then did he finally feel at ease to hand over his phone.

Zhong Yunxing actually didn't know why, but after hearing Darong's voice, the anxiety and fear in his heart were finally comforted. Perhaps this is the meaning of being a husband and wife.

When we are young, we always seek comfort in our mother's arms, but when our mother also needs protection, our only harbor becomes the lover who has been with us through thick and thin for decades.

"Ruyi, tell your mother quickly." After comforting Zhong Yunxing, Darong put down the phone and turned to look at Ruyi.

Before she finished her question, tears began to roll down her face, completely losing the composure she had just shown when she was comforting Zhong Yunxing.

"Mom, the doctor said that he needs to see what comes out of the surgery later, and he can't rule out... cancer."

Ruyi said the last word so lightly and cautiously. She really didn't want such words to appear on Zhong Yunxing.

After hearing this, Darong felt a black screen in front of her eyes and she almost couldn't stand.

After Xiao Huya handed An An to his grandmother, he hurried upstairs to the door of the operating room. He just in time to support Darong from behind and helped her sit on a chair nearby.

Darong took a long time to adjust her breathing, wiped away her tears, and said firmly: "Your father is fine."

None of the three people spoke anymore, just staring at Zhong Yunxing's name on the screen. Preparing for surgery... Surgery...

Until the red color finally turned into yellow, Ruyi suddenly became restless. She knew that yellow meant that Zhong Yunxing's operation was over and the result would be revealed soon.

"Ruyi, sit down." Darong frowned slightly. She didn't like Ruyi's flustered look.

"Zhong Yunxing's family..."

The door of the operating room opened and an assistant doctor came out dragging a piece of tissue with gauze.

"Let me take a look. We extracted a tooth and removed the cyst. It's quite intact. There's no need to send it to pathology. It's just an ordinary bone cyst..."

Darong and Ruyi didn't hear clearly what the doctor said next. They both breathed a sigh of relief and then started crying, wiping their tears.

After that, Xiao Huya was the only one who could keep calm and listen to the doctor's nagging about the post-operative precautions and examination arrangements.

"…Family members can go to the ward and wait. After the patient is resuscitated and observed for a while, he will be sent directly back to the ward through the surgical corridor."

After the doctor gave all the postoperative instructions, he closed the door of the operating room again.

"Mom, I was so scared. It's great. Nothing happened. I was so scared..." Ruyi cried and hugged Darong to comfort her.

After sitting for a long time, the mother and daughter finally calmed down.

"Mom, the doctor said my dad will go back through the operating room. Let's go to the ward first." Little Tiger Teeth spoke only after seeing that Darong and Ruyi's emotions had stabilized.

"Wait a little longer. I'll leave when the observation light goes out. This way we're closer to him." Darong said while staring at the status prompt after Zhong Yunxing's name on the screen.

After Darong sat for a while, the door of the operating room opened again: "Have Zhong Yunxing's family members left?"

"No, no..." Darong and Ruyi quickly ran towards the operating room door.

"Come on, you're looking for a wife. You must be looking for a wife. You're already having fun in there..."

A middle-aged nurse said to Darong with a smile while pulling the bed.

"Look quickly, is this your wife? Come on, stop playing tricks on me, big brother... Okay... The three of us can't stop her."

Zhong Yunxing's anesthesia had not completely worn off yet, and he was still in a semi-conscious state. When he swung his strong arms and legs, the three female nurses really couldn't hold him down.

"DaRong, are you okay? DaRong..." After seeing DaRong, Zhong Yunxing grabbed her hand and kept asking about the results of the operation.

"It's okay, it's just an ordinary cyst. It will be fine after the removal. Don't worry." Darong leaned close to Zhong Yunxing's face and comforted him.

"Really? Don't lie to me..." Zhong Yunxing confirmed again and again.

"Okay, okay, we'll go to the ward and ask slowly later..." The three nurses didn't stay for too long and pushed the bed into the elevator.

Darong and the others also hurried towards the ward.

After entering the ward, Zhong Yunxing, who had been noisy just now, fell into a sound sleep.

"Mom, you are the only one who can comfort my dad. Just a few words from you and my dad is sleeping so soundly."

Ruyi looked at Zhong Yunxing and touched his forehead lovingly, just like he touched her forehead when he was a child.

While Zhong Yunxing was still asleep, Ruyi talked to Darong about last night's examination.

I told Darong about the doctor's expression and the results of the examination one by one.

"I was really scared at that time. No matter how the doctor asked me about that tooth, he said he had no feeling. In the end, the doctor frowned and said that this situation was not good." Ruyi sighed with lingering fear after he finished speaking.

"That tooth caused him toothache when he was young, and the nerve was picked. Didn't he tell the doctor?" After listening to the doctor's description, Darong looked at Ruyi with a puzzled look on her face.

"Ah? Oh my god, my dad, my legs were so weak from fear at that time, he didn't say anything at all."

After Zhong Yunxing woke up, Darong asked him why he didn't tell the doctor that the nerve of his tooth had been picked. He just replied in confusion: "He didn't ask."

Ruyi was really speechless. The doctor had examined her so many times, but he never mentioned that the tooth had crossed the nerve.

This misunderstanding made the whole family terrified. In the following years, Darong would still criticize Zhong Yunxing whenever she mentioned the incident.

After Zhong Yunxing's operation, he was discharged from the hospital and went home the next day because it was confirmed that it was just an ordinary cyst and there was no potential harm.

"I have already made an appointment for the follow-up examination in advance. I will come to pick you up then." Ruyi said to Zhong Yunxing who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"My dear, can I apply to drive over to pick you up myself? Dad just had a tooth pulled, it won't affect my driving."

Zhong Yunxing still had gauze stuffed in his mouth, and his speech was unclear, which made Darong laugh secretly.

"What's wrong? Am I driving badly?" Ruyi pouted, turned her head and glared at Zhong Yunxing and asked.

"Dad, I have an eye patch. How about I get it for you later?"

Before Zhong Yunxing could answer, Xiao Huya, who was driving the car nearby, responded to Ruyi's words at the right time.

"Du Yeqiang!!" Ruyi's growl was full of threats.

"I'm just worried that Dad won't be able to sleep well, don't get me wrong..."
