After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Coming out of Aunt Chen's house, Gu Mochen drove the car onto the highway almost like flying.

Tan Man sat in the co-pilot, absent-mindedly silent, her eyes filled with moisture.

Gu Mochen glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry too much, the doctor said it was delivered in time, and it shouldn't be too serious."

She just nodded, biting her knuckles with her teeth.

The phone rang to break the silence, and she quickly picked it up.

"Aunt Xu, how is my father?"

Tan Man breathed a sigh of relief, gave a few more instructions, and hung up the phone.

"How?" he asked.

"It's not life-threatening. It's been checked out. The amount of bleeding in the brain is not too large. The doctor said to take conservative treatment first and recover slowly later." Her tense face finally eased.

"That's good, why don't you squint for a while, go to the hospital tonight, I guess I won't be able to sleep."

"I can't sleep, it's okay. It's you who worked hard. You obviously took Xiaobei out to play, but it was destroyed by me. I'm really sorry." Tan Man let go of the stone in his heart, and then remembered to trouble others.

Gu Mochen chuckled: "Then owe another sum, and make up for it another day!"

Tan Man knew that his words were intended to distract her, so she smiled wryly: "Although the compensation is certain, but if this debt continues, I will almost not be able to pay it back."

"I have no time limit, as long as I want!"

Tan Man pursed her lips and smiled weakly, without saying anything.

Gu Mochen turned his head and glanced at her, his little face that finally relaxed became gloomy in an instant.

"That Aunt Xu, isn't your relative?"

Tan Man shook her head: "No, she is a retired teacher from the same school as my dad, and she is about the same age. She has been single since her husband passed away many years ago. She is a warm-hearted person, and she is very kind to us father and daughter. I know she is interested in my dad, but my dad has always been ignorant. I didn't understand it before, but when I grew up, I realized that my dad was all for me. He would rather be single all the time than want me to have Not at all comfortable."

She sighed, her expression became depressed and melancholy: "In Suzhou, we have no relatives. Basically, my father and I depend on each other for life. During this journey, when I came back from home last month, my father sent me to the station. , the back of him walking alone when saying goodbye, I suddenly realized that the father who has been giving silently, the man I have always regarded him as the sky, is getting old and has reached the age of needing someone to take care of him. thought about it."

He frowned slightly, focused his eyes on the front, and listened quietly.

"When I graduated, I should have found a job in Suzhou. I was too selfish. I only thought about my own future. I didn't think about the day when he would be unable to take care of himself. I always felt that day was a long time away. Dad It's just my daughter, and if he has something tonight, I'll blame myself for the rest of my life."

Sobbing sounded again from the side, Gu Mochen wanted to say something, but he suddenly ran out of words.

He is obviously a lawyer, and he is good at persuading and comforting others with all kinds of logic and reasons, but why every time, when he sees her sad and depressed, his eloquence becomes clumsy.

He reached out and took a tissue from the armrest and handed it over: "Don't cry, it will affect my driving."

She sniffed: "Sorry!"

"It's not your fault." He paused, "You know what I think?"

Tan Man looked at him with red eyes.

"Time moves forward, so you also have to look forward. Since your father is temporarily stable, what you need to think about now is how to take better care of him in the future, so that he can recover as soon as possible, and then consider the next step. How to balance the relationship between work and the elderly, this is your main problem at the moment, it’s not too late to do it after you’ve settled things properly.”

"Can you be so rational and calm no matter what happens or who you meet?" Tan Man asked after a while.

Gu Mochen was startled for two seconds.

Is that right?

But when she first found out that she had ear problems, why did she agree to a business trip that had nothing to do with him on the spur of the moment?

Why did Xiao Bei drive to her residence inexplicably on Christmas night?
And tonight's fireworks show, he even dropped a kiss on her forehead by accident?

After waiting for a long time, seeing that he didn't answer, Tan Man turned her head: "Forget it, I forgot again, you are obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Gu Mochen licked his lips, and for a while he ran out of words.

More than two hours later, the car got out of the Suzhou Expressway. It was already past twelve o'clock. There were far fewer cars on the road than during the day, but because of the New Year's Eve, there were more cars than usual late at night.

As if to join in the fun, it was raining sporadicly at this moment, and the wiper was dangling in front of her eyes. Tan Man gave directions to Gu Mochen, and at the same time called Aunt Xu to ask about the details of her father's ward. position.

In less than 10 minutes, the car stopped on the parking lot of the People's Hospital.

Tan Man took off her seat belt and was about to open the door, when Gu Mochen suddenly said, "Is it convenient, I'll go up?"

As expected of a lawyer, she is always more considerate than her.

Tan Man thought for a while, then realized: "I'm not inconvenient, I'm just afraid that you are too tired. There is a hotel nearby. Would you like to open a room and sleep before going back?"

He smiled lightly, turned off the engine, took his phone and wallet, and got out of the car: "Let's go, I'll accompany you!"

When it came, the sporadic light rain tended to gradually increase. After getting off the car, Gu Mochen walked towards her first, and put the coat in his hand on top of her head: "The umbrella in the car just left the office, put it on, don't catch a cold !"

In the past few days, the temperature has continued to drop, and with the rain, the damp and cold became more obvious, but the moment he was wrapped in Gu Mochen's coat, the temperature seemed to rise several degrees.

Tan Man froze in place for a few seconds before following the man who was striding forward and walking towards the neurology inpatient department.

The hospital has never divided holidays, even if it is the New Year, people who come here should cry, laugh, worry, and happy.

After getting out of the elevator and walking through the corridor, Tan Man was the first to see Aunt Xu who was waiting at the door of the ward. She was dressed in orange down and her chubby body was particularly conspicuous.

Xu Qiong waved to her, afraid that she might not see her: "Manman, here!"

Tan Man trotted over: "Aunt Xu, where's my dad?"

"Inside, asleep." Turning around, she led Tan Man into the room.

Pushing the door open, the pungent smell of potion filled the whole room. Tan Weiguo was lying quietly on the hospital bed and fell asleep at the moment, but when Tan Man saw her father, her eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Auntie, my dad, he What happened?"

Xu Qiong looked at the person on the bed and sighed: "The symptoms of a stroke patient are crooked mouth and crooked neck. Fortunately, the doctor said that they were delivered in time and not life-threatening. They will recover slowly in the later stage. This kind of mild stroke will be fatal. OK."

Tan Man covered her mouth with one hand, and stroked her father's distorted face with the other, trying not to lose control of her emotions.

"It's okay, child, don't be sad, it will be fine." Xu Qiong stroked Manman's head and comforted her.

At this time, she noticed a tall and handsome strange man behind her again, she was a little surprised, and after taking a second look, she turned around and asked, "Manman, this is...?"

Seeing the other party looking at him in surprise, Gu Mochen nodded politely, took a step ahead of Tan Man, and introduced himself: "Aunt Xu, hello, my name is Gu Mochen, Manman's friend."

Tan Man was so focused on her father's illness that she forgot about Gu Mochen all of a sudden. She wiped away her tears and turned around: "I forgot to introduce you, Aunt Xu. This Mr. Gu is a friend of mine in Shanghai. Tonight Thanks to him driving me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come back.”

Xu Qiong smiled at him and said, "Send us Manman back at night, is it your boyfriend?"

"No, no." Tan Man, whose eyes were still red like a rabbit, immediately jumped out and waved her hands to deny when she heard this, "Aunt Xu, don't talk nonsense, she is a lawyer."

"What's wrong with the lawyer, you are still a teacher, you are all teachers." Xu Qiong joked, "Oh, the little girl is still shy."

"Not really."

Tan Man glanced at Gu Mochen in embarrassment, who happened to be looking at her leisurely, with a faint smile on his face.

"Little Gu, sit down, don't stand still, do you mind if I call you Xiao Gu?" Xu Qiong ignored Tan Man, and greeted Gu Mochen, "It's really hard work for you, come here late at night."

"You're welcome, Aunt Xu."

Xu Qiong's personality was originally enthusiastic, and Tan Man saw that she was about to start checking her household registration, and immediately said: "Aunt Xu, I have been busy all night, and it is already early in the morning. I will watch over this, so you should go back and rest quickly." .”

Hearing her reminder, Xu Qiong realized that it was very late, stood up and said, "That's fine, I'll go back for a rest first, and I'll replace you tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, you have a good rest, don't worry." Tan Man got up and followed her to the door.

"Xiao Gu, see you later!" He waved goodbye.

Back in the ward, the nurse just came to make rounds, and Tan Man hurriedly asked, "Sister nurse, how is my father?"

The other party was not a novice at first glance, flipping through the documents in his hand, checking the patient's condition while reading, then turned around, glanced at Tan Man, then at Gu Mochen, his eyes were a little softer.

"The situation is stable for the time being. If there is anything wrong, ring the bell immediately, at the bedside!"

"Then when will I wake up?" Tan Man asked.

"It will be noon tomorrow at the earliest. It's hard to say." After the nurse finished speaking, she went out to check the next room.

When the nurse went out, Gu Mochen took off his jacket and put it on the back of the chair: "Don't frown, you've been tossing around all night, you go to that sofa for a while, I'll watch over it!"

Tan Man looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock, her tense nerves relaxed, she was indeed sleepy, but she had the nerve to bother Gu Mochen again.

"Go there for a while, you are the one who has been tossing all night, and I don't drive, so I can hold on."

Gu Mochen smiled: "I'm a man, it's common to stay up late to work overtime on business trips, it's not good for girls to stay up late, besides, it's going to be a protracted battle, be obedient, even if you don't want to sleep now, go lean on the sofa and lie on the bed By the way, if you fall asleep, it will be very bad for your cervical spine."

Tan Man thought for a while, got up and went to sit down on a short double sofa next to the hospital bed, and patted the seat next to her: "It's spacious enough, come here too, that hard bench is uncomfortable to sit on."

The man will never be the one to be coy, he got up and walked over, his long legs bent, and the position next to her sank.
