Four or five doctors pushed a surgical trolley and quickly pushed Gu Zhan, who had already put on an oxygen mask, to the intensive care unit.The mist on the oxygen mask appeared and disappeared quickly, and the fainted boy was at his mercy without any consciousness, and his whole body was limp.

Zhou Muzhen was stopped outside the intensive care unit, looking in from the small window, several doctors slowly approached Gu Zhan holding the ventricular defibrillator that often appeared on TV.While confirming the waves on the ECG monitor, they directed the deployment of various personnel.

The inexplicable panic made him dare not continue to look at it. One second before leaving the small window, Zhou Muzhen saw Gu Zhan's body excited by the electric current bouncing high.

This scene is so familiar, like the moment Anita was sent to the emergency room.Zhou Muzhen knew that he should not think about his children's love at this moment, he stayed away from the hospital corridor that always smelled of disinfectant, and came to the escalator outside the hospital.

Zhou Muzhen took out his mobile phone, found Ms. Gu's number, and almost tremblingly pressed the dial button.

"Hello? Teacher Zhou?" Ms. Gu's voice came from the phone, just like all parents who were called by the teacher, her voice seemed a little nervous, "What trouble did Gu Zhan get into again?"

Zhou Muzhen took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions so that his voice would sound gentler.He said: "Mother Gu Zhan, Gu Zhan is currently in the intensive care unit on the ninth floor of the Central Hospital... here, and is undergoing rescue."

The only response to Zhou Mu was the beeping sound after the other party hung up the phone in a hurry.

Even though he resisted very much in his heart, he still returned to the door of the intensive care unit.Zhou Muzhen looked in through the small window, the doctor didn't seem to give up, the electric shock was still going on, his thin and weak body bounced off the flat bed again and again, lifeless.

Zhou Muzhen turned his back again, and he sat on a chair in the corridor.He covered his face with his hands, praying in his heart that nothing happened to Gu Zhan.At this moment, he wished that there was a church next to him, and then he went in and made a wish to God. At least it was better to entrust his worries to God than to bear them alone.

He finally recalled Anita's appearance when she was found, lying on an old rusty chair, her limbs dangling feebly by her side, her whole body was as thin as a skeleton.His face was blue and purple, and some unknown blood had dried up.She stared blankly at the ceiling, as if she had lost hope of survival.

A few months ago, she was kidnapped to this dilapidated underground factory.Those people injected her with drugs that even the experts hadn't seen, and they would beat her for a while if they didn't obey. Sometimes they drank too much, and they would take turns to rape Anita when they returned to the underground factory.

When found by the police, Anita had only one breath left.What's ridiculous is that they determined the direction of the suspect by relying on the liquid left in Anita's body by those bastards.

Those drugs had caused great harm to Anita's body. When she first started to detoxify, she was mostly unconscious.Cheng Ri's expression was gloomy, and even Zhou Muzhen couldn't recognize anyone.He occasionally saw the scene of Anita's drug rehabilitation. He saw the thin red-haired girl trying to break free from her bound hands and feet with all her strength. Her screaming voice could be heard almost on the entire floor.

"Where's Gu Zhan?!" There was a rush of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground in the corridor.Ms. Gu's hair is a bit messy, she obviously didn't arrange her appearance before coming directly.

Zhou Muzhen looked at the intensive care unit next to him.Ms. Gu hurriedly leaned over to the small window to look. The expression on her face was unbearably anxious, obviously the situation inside was not optimistic.

Seemingly unable to bear to see her child suffer such torture, she sat on the chair next to Zhou Muzhen.She lowered her head silently, her short hair that reached her ears drooped down, completely covering her face.Zhou Muzhen could vaguely see the other person's shoulders shrugging up and down, he didn't know whether he should pat the other person's back to comfort him, or if he was the instigator of the current scene.

"Gu Zhan's mother, Gu Zhan will be fine." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Muzhen felt a trace of unnatural guilt in his voice.

Ms. Gu sniffed and smiled reluctantly at Zhou Muzhen.

At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit was slowly opened.Several doctors in white coats came out, and the leader asked where Gu Zhan's relatives were, and Ms. Gu went up to meet them.From a distance, Zhou Muzhen could only see the doctor shaking his head reluctantly and Ms. Gu's trembling back.

A few words such as "medical history", "heart transplant", "rejection" fell into Zhou Muzhen's ears.He only felt his brain beating, could it be that Gu Zhan would die because of himself?He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe that such a thing between life and death happened to him again.

He began to crazily regret the harm his loss of control caused to Gu Zhan, and his self-blame was like a raging wave that pressed him to the bottom of the sea.He didn't dare to look in the direction of Ms. Gu and the doctors. He desperately wanted to escape from this place, but his legs seemed to be paralyzed and he couldn't move a bit.

After talking with the doctor, Ms. Gu calmed down a bit.She looked out the window for a while at Gu Zhan who was still wearing an oxygen mask, and then sat next to Zhou Muzhen again.

"Thank you for bringing him to the hospital."

This kind of gratitude is ironic to Zhou Muzhen, after all he even thought it was just a trick put on by Gu Zhan at first.

"Gu Zhan has received a heart transplant." As if out of trust in Zhou Muzhen, Ms. Gu said, "Just a few years ago, a doctor friend in the United States told me that there happened to be one over there who signed the remains. The patient with the organ donation agreement passed away. So I didn’t think about anything, and took Gu Zhan, who happened to be ill, for a heart transplant. Ms. Gu sighed, “Obviously there was no rejection in the few weeks after the replacement, Why now..."

After passing away a few years ago, the body's organs were donated, and a name jumped out of Zhou Muzhen's brain almost reflexively.No, there is no such a coincidence in this world.How could there be?But Gu Zhan's heartbeat was so familiar before, as familiar as someone who was once so close to him.

Although Zhou Muzhen denied the existence of this tiny probability from the bottom of his heart, he still forcibly restrained his trembling voice and asked, "Excuse me, what is the name of the deceased organ donor...?"

Ms. Gu seemed a little surprised that Zhou Muzhen would ask this question. She thought about it carefully and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be called Anita."

In real life, if something with extremely low probability happens to happen, people may take it as fate.

Zhou Muzhen's mind went blank.

It turned out that Anita had always been by her side.

He finally understood why he felt that Gu Zhan and Anita gave him so similar feelings, and he finally understood why he always lost control when he met him.It turned out that it was Anita who was beating in Gu Zhan's chest.

Zhou Muzhen felt that the picture in front of him became like an old TV set, full of noise and shaking.What he'd built for himself—the idea that he could live without Anita—tumbled down.But what he couldn't understand was that Gu Zhan replaced Anita's figure and was crazily occupying his memories.

This is not fair to the dead Anita or Gu Zhan whose life is at stake!

"I plan to bring Gu Zhan back to the United States for treatment." Ms. Gu sighed, "Perhaps my doctor friend can find out the crux of the problem." She turned her head to Zhou Muzhen, "Mr. Zhou, you have been working hard these days It’s too late. It’s hard for you to make up lessons for Gu Zhan, who is so bad at our English.”

"That... That's what I should do." Zhou Muzhen's throat was sore that he was almost speechless for a while.

Gu Zhan, are you leaving here?

That's fine, get out of here.Zhou Muzhen was actually a little lucky, this just cut off the buds that were about to sprout in his brain.

let's go.

Don't come back again.
