Although only a figure could be barely discerned, he was so familiar with that figure that he could depict it even with his eyes closed. That was his girl, his Miaotong

She never expected to become an advanced maternal age mother in her middle age. Although she usually pays great attention to maintaining her health, her role as the editor-in-chief at the newspaper is quite demanding. It was only half a month ago that she suddenly showed signs of a miscarriage. Upon being taken to the hospital for examination, it was found that not only was her blood pressure high, but her blood sugar levels were also elevated. Her husband, Qiao Yun, is a doctor at Kang Le Hospital, so he decided to confine her to a special ward in the hospital to focus on nurturing the fetus.

In the past, Miao Tong was a clever and worldly young woman, yet she would become tongue-tied in front of him. Only when pressed too hard would she speak the truth; the idea of patiently explaining to him like a soft, fragrant flower was beyond her imagination.

Those fragmented pains are gradually eroding a person's willpower, and enduring these sufferings is no better than death; those without a desire to survive cannot be overcome. Yet, against the expectations of the attending physician, he gradually improved day by day

In fact, he does not resemble a patient at all nowadays. Although he has lost some weight, his chin is smooth, and his features are clean and bright, devoid of any trace of illness. He has managed to wear the patient gown with the elegance of a tailcoat. He is the most handsome patient in the entire ward, and the young nurses are only fond of his face and smile, showing no concern for the myriad of sensational rumors surrounding him.

Zhuo Yue waved her hand, impatiently urging people to leave: "Alright, alright, your filial piety has arrived, quickly go next door to comfort your delicate-hearted young man."

It seems that he is really angry. Miao Tong looked at his clean-shaven chin and the corners of his lips, leaned in, and placed a polite kiss by his mouth: "You didn't tell me, I had no idea that your eyes had complications, I was scared to death. Moreover, this time I came back to accompany the professor for a meeting, and I was afraid that I wouldn't find time to come out, which would disappoint you." After a pause, she added, "I only have half a day off, and I have to leave in two hours."

Indeed, the eyes may be blind, but the heart is not. Zhuo Yue smiled gently at her little disciple, saying, You all are too clever, which makes it so difficult for others to deal with you

You just said you are an intern, he would never believe that

Zhuo Yue has been living here for almost half a month, and it is not a serious illness. Six months ago, she discovered that she was pregnant, and this child was completely unexpected. However, since the child has arrived, the couple has accepted it calmly.

He underwent a second kidney transplant surgery, and the postoperative rejection reaction was quite severe. When he was transferred back to the hospital in City B from Shanghai, he also had complications of cataracts.

She is becoming increasingly mature, breaking free from her cocoon and spreading her wings. He closes his palm, fearing that he might crush her beautiful wings, yet if he does not hold on tightly, he does not know when she will take flight.

Miao Tong returned this time due to work; the professor she is following abroad is coming to China to hold an exchange conference. As she is a Chinese student, she has been asked to serve as a translator and guide.

At this moment, Miaotong, separated by a wall, was also greatly impacted, almost rendered speechless. She did not know where to begin her questions, nor did she know what to say. She stood by the window for a long time, her waist-length hair cascading down beside her hand, the bright sunlight falling on her eyelashes, and her eyes were already red.

Bai Xiyan is silent. How can he be angry? He is currently chasing after someone; how can he have the right to be angry?

Miao Tong felt a pang in her heart, half-kneeling as she embraced his waist, not sparing any affection in this embrace: "Did you recognize me just now? Then why didn't you acknowledge me?"

What about the eye surgery

His eye condition is a postoperative complication, and surgery can resolve it. Zhuo Yue felt very sorry and awkwardly said, "Xiyan didn't allow us to tell you, thinking that by the time you return from your studies abroad, his eye surgery would have already been completed."

Miao Tong let out a soft sigh outside his door and knocked. After a few seconds, a slightly subdued voice from inside responded, "Please come in"

She learned the news rather abruptly and was uncertain whether it would be possible, considering the time to see Bai Xiyan, so she did not inform him. It is better than him knowing that she was coming back but ultimately not being able to meet her.

Zhuo Yue waved her hand, impatiently urging people to leave: "Alright, alright, the filial piety has arrived, hurry up and go comfort your delicate-hearted young man next door"

Zhuo Yue would never leave a small intern in the room to listen to their conversation. Although he could barely make out a figure, he was so familiar with that shape that he could depict it even with his eyes closed. That was his girl, his Miao Tong. At this moment, Miao Tong, just a wall away, was also greatly impacted, nearly rendered speechless. She did not know where to begin her questions, nor did she know what to say. She stood by the window for a long time, her waist-length hair cascading down beside her hand, the bright sunlight falling on her eyelashes, and her eyes were already red-rimmed.

At this time, just after the attending physician's rounds, Bai Xiyan would come over to chat with Zhuo Yue every day.

It is not enough, considering that it amounts to only half a day's leave, including the time wasted on the round trip.

Because the eyes could not see anything, the ears became particularly sensitive. Bai Xiyan suddenly heard the faint sound of a glass cup clinking against the marble windowsill. He did not expect anyone to be in the room, and after a pause, he turned to look towards the window, where there was only a faint glimmer of light, barely revealing the shape of a person.

Bring the soup over and then go on the rounds. You look quite spirited today, what is making you so happy?

Alright. Cherish your words, take some motivational quotes back, and Qiao Yun has done yours

"You just arrived and you are already leaving." Bai Xiyan tightly grasped her hand and kissed it near her lips, "It's only been two hours, how can that be enough?"

Upon returning to the country, as soon as the plane landed, it was met with heavy rain. Many attendees of the conference missed their flights and were unable to arrive on time, prompting the organizers to make a last-minute decision to postpone the event by one day. A staff member from the organizing committee took the opportunity to escort the professor to a local museum, allowing Miao Tong to find some time to visit the patient. However, she had barely finished a cup of water at Zhuo Yue's place when she encountered Bai Xiyan, who, unfortunately, did not notice her.

After the surgery, the two had not seen each other, but their phone contact had not ceased. When she reported to the school abroad, he had not yet left the critical period. She walked to the bed in the intensive care unit and commanded him: survive and pursue me again. He did not open his eyes, but he heard her and lightly nodded his head while wearing the oxygen mask.

Are you angry

Bai Xiyan did not refuse, carrying the chicken soup back to his hospital room. Once he closed the door, the deliberately maintained calm on his face shattered completely. He breathed rapidly, feeling dizzy, and leaned all his strength against the door behind him

I originally intended to have a drink of water here before going to see him, but now I am at a loss as to how to get there. He must be thinking that my failure to inform him upon my return means I do not wish to see him. Being overly clever can sometimes lead to foolishness.

This meeting felt like a battle; we barely exchanged two sentences before hastily bidding farewell

Do you have guests

You just said it was with the intern from the library, he wouldn't believe that

It will take some more time

"Are you coming in?" Zhuo Yue said

Miao Tong returned this time due to work; the professor she is following abroad is coming to China to hold an exchange conference. As she is a Chinese student, she was asked to serve as a translator and guide.

His eye condition is a postoperative complication, but it can be resolved with surgery. Zhuo Yue felt very sorry and said awkwardly, "Xiyan didn't allow us to tell you, thinking that by the time you return from your studies abroad, his eye surgery would have already been completed."

Until Miao Tong returned to school, Bai Xiyan had not seen her again, only receiving a hurried phone call from her before she boarded the plane

She learned the news rather abruptly and was uncertain whether it would be possible, considering the time to see Bai Xiyan, so she did not inform him. It is better than him knowing she was coming back but ultimately not being able to meet her.

Yet unbeknownst to him, his eyes gazed into the mist, not seeing her with his eyes, but already perceiving her in his heart

He leaned against the door as he entered, already very familiar with the position of the sofa in the small suite. Smelling the aroma of chicken soup in the room, he smiled and said, "Is my brother-in-law here?"

The nurses have encountered many critically ill patients, and in such circumstances, only a few manage to survive. In the face of death, all individuals are equal. Although they do not speak of it, they do not truly believe that he will pull through.

Oh, I will be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. In fact, I could have been discharged much earlier; it is my elder sister who is worried. This month of hospitalization has truly been unwarranted.

The patient in Room 2 is recognized by the nurses as the most easygoing and obedient patient

Zhuo Yue smiled and said, "Oh, it is the intern from the society's practical and graphic department who has come to deliver documents to me"

A hand waved in front of his eyes, he grasped that hand and smiled helplessly: "I am not blind to that extent."

Yet he did not know that his eyes gazed into the mist, not seeing her with his eyes, but already perceiving her in his heart

Bai Xiyan nodded slightly at the figure in the faint light, then stood up: "Since you have matters to attend to, I will come to see you again in the afternoon"

She is truly impressive, now she has learned to turn the tables. Bai Xiyan will not be fooled by her, slightly pushing her away and shaking her head: "My eyesight is poor, but yours is good. Since you do not recognize me, how can I recognize you?"

She pushed the door open and entered; there was no scent of disinfectant in the room, only the natural fragrance of fruits and fresh flowers. He sank into the sofa, lost in thought as he gazed out the window. It was his habit to zone out while looking outside, but in reality, apart from the faint light, he could see nothing of the lush green sea of trees beyond.

I thought that just seeing him once and knowing that he was well would allow me to focus on finishing my studies abroad for the next six months. However, after this meeting, my heart felt even heavier: without the ability to see, he could not read, and he could not even take care of his basic needs. He spoke lightly, saying, "It's just temporary," but even if it is temporary, Miao Tong could not imagine how he could endure the fact that he could not see.

Bai Xiyan leaned against the wall with one hand and walked to the door of the adjacent ward, knocking gently: "Sister Yue, may I come in?"
