Her head also went through serious damage. Nobody could guarantee the consequence of the operation. After the family member signed, we could do the operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is another information that almost makes me faint.<\/p>\n<p>But soon I force myself to calm down.<\/p>\n<p>At least, my mother is still alive, isn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n<p>I sign with tears and pay the operation fee. The doctor begins to do the operation for my mom. I sit outside of the operation room blankly, feeling that my life has already collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Someone should have recognized me. When passing by me, they take out the phone, looking at me and the screen.<\/p>\n<p>I am already numbed. I don\u2019t even have the mood to pick up my phone that keeps shaking in my bag.<\/p>\n<p>The operation goes for four hours. When the doctor comes out, he also sweats profusely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe patient\u2019s operation went well. She should wake up soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The doctor\u2019s words make me feel relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>I go into the ward. My heart feels bad when I see my mother\u2019s empty right leg. With mom\u2019s temperament, it is hard to imagine how she would act when she wakes up and sees herself like this.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, mom loves dad so much. If she finds out that dad already passes away, she would definitely not be able to bear it.<\/p>\n<p>I lie on my mom\u2019s bed and sleep for a night. I don\u2019t see her wake up, so I go back to their place and bring some clothes to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>When I walk to the corner of the hospital, I bump into a person.<\/p>\n<p>Frank?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d I ask in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom and dad ran into something like this, of course I need to check it out.\u201d Frank glances at me contemptuously and walks into the ward.<\/p>\n<p>When he reaches the ward, I hear him say \u201cmom\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Does mom wake up?<\/p>\n<p>I scurry into the ward and see mom just open her eyes blankly. She glances around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrank, it\u2019s nice that you\u2019re out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere\u2019s your father? Where is he?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, dad is already gone, otherwise, I can\u2019t come out.\u201d Frank had a conscience after all. He shed tears sadly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGone, gone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mom murmurs and passes out with her eyes roll upward.<\/p>\n<p>During the time after this, I handle dad\u2019s funeral while taking care of mom in the hospital. My phone\u2019s battery is already dead, but I don\u2019t even have the mood to charge my phone. Although Frank is out, he seems to be out for wandering. He cares about nothing at all, but mom finally has the motivation to live on after seeing him.<\/p>\n<p>As for me, I am so busy taking care of her, but at the end what I get is mom\u2019s hate.<\/p>\n<p>I already lose the mood to argue with her.<\/p>\n<p>Now the family has become this way, I don\u2019t want to hurt my mom anymore.<\/p>\n<p>After spending three days in the hospital, mom asks to be discharged from the hospital eagerly. I have no choice but to handle to procedure for her.<\/p>\n<p>When I just walk out of the ward, I immediately see Frances who stands by the door with a gloomy face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-244","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
