Chapter 62: Uninvited Guest

Huo Mingze and his group went out to have lunch to celebrate.

Xiao Guang picked up food for Assistant Lu and then for Huo Mingze, gesturing and saying "thank you" at the same time.

"You're welcome. Xiao Guang, eat," Assistant Lu gestured while also picking up food for Xiao Guang.

He thought that with Xiao Guang's intelligence, he could return to work in at most half a year.

He took the opportunity to teach Xiao Guang simple words: "You're welcome. Pick up, food, chopsticks, bowl."

He pronounced each word very slowly and gestured in sign language at the same time to tell Xiao Guang what each thing was called.

For prelingually deaf people like Xiao Guang, language training was an extremely difficult thing.

Because in the past fifteen years, Xiao Guang hadn't been able to hear a single sound from the outside world.

He had been used to a silent world.

He had been used to not speaking.

Now that he had the cochlear implant and could hear the outside sounds, these sounds were like the chirping of birds to him.

He had no way of knowing what everyone was saying at all. He would feel anxious, inferior, and even autistic in his heart.

If the people around him could all use sign language, patiently explain things to him and encourage him more, it would make him adapt faster.

Assistant Lu had been constantly encouraging Xiao Guang.

When he did language training, he also carried various electronic small animals to the open lawn.

The broad view could make people's moods become open as well.

So, he spent more than an hour letting Xiao Guang repeatedly listen to the calls of various animals, constantly let him watch his lip movements, and encouraged him to bravely open his mouth. And then Xiao Guang learned to say "father" and "sister".

"Come on, let's eat. Don't rush. Let's enjoy the delicious food and life. Everything will get better and better," Assistant Lu gestured to encourage Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang immediately nodded to Assistant Lu to express his thanks.

"You should also eat more," Shen Mo Di picked up food for Huo Mingze.

"What if I gain weight after eating too much?" Huo Mingze had a big smile on his face.

Shen Mo Di was amused by Huo Mingze, "Even if you gain weight, you'll still be the handsomest fat guy."

"Are you complimenting me?" Huo Mingze glanced at Shen Mo Di with a smile, then smiled and picked up a shrimp, naturally peeling off its shell.

"Of course I'm complimenting you," Shen Mo Di also smiled.

After setting off the fireworks last night, she felt really relaxed.

Today, seeing that her younger brother was so great, she was even happier.

She was also grateful.

She was grateful that Huo Mingze had appeared in her life when she was in the most difficult time.

Huo Mingze put the peeled shrimp into Shen Mo Di's bowl.

Shen Mo Di picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it into Huo Mingze's bowl, "You eat it too."

Assistant Lu: "..."

This display of affection was really something, like delicious dog food that was almost too much to bear.

Xiao Guang was a foodie and was eating with great relish.

After a delicious meal, he felt much more relaxed.

Huo Mingze asked the waiter to prepare some apples. They planned to walk back to the hospital to help with digestion.

Suddenly, Huo Mingze's phone rang.

It was Qiu Zhan calling, "Brother, something's happened. You guys should hurry back to the hospital."

Huo Mingze's face changed slightly. He took Shen Mo Di's hand, "Let's go back to the hospital. Lu Chen, bring Xiao Guang quickly."

His first thought was that his father-in-law might be dying and they had to rush there to see him off properly.

Shen Mo Di saw that Huo Mingze's face had changed and that he was pulling her to the hospital, so she panicked too. She started running quickly, and her voice was a bit shaky, "What's wrong with Dad?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, she ran even faster.

...

At the hospital.

After Shen Weiguo drank the traditional Chinese medicine.

Qiu Zhan accompanied him to chat, to help him relax and told him about Xiao Guang's situation.

Qiu Zhan only told him the good parts and the most ideal situation.

He told Shen Weiguo that Xiao Guang could be the same as a normal person in half a year.

Shen Weiguo's eyes were full of hope.

After chatting for a while, the nurse brought Shen Weiguo's lunch from the cafeteria.

Qiu Zhan smiled and told Uncle to have a good meal, and then he went to have his own meal.

Shen Weiguo thought the food today was especially delicious.

He really felt that he was going to get better and his heart was full of hope.

The nurse scooped out some soup for him and he drank half a bowl in one go.

In the hospital corridor.

A woman was carrying fruits in one hand and a bouquet of carnations in the other. She was asking a nurse, "Hello. Excuse me. Which ward is Shen Weiguo in? I'm his friend and I've come to visit him."

The nurse immediately pointed to Shen Weiguo's ward.

After thanking the nurse politely, Liao Qinghe walked straight over with the flowers and fruits in her arms, and knocked on the door of Shen Weiguo's ward.

She saw Shen Weiguo at a glance.

Although she hadn't seen him for more than ten years and Shen Weiguo had been tortured by the illness and was already in a terrible state, skinny as a skeleton, Liao Qinghe still recognized him at a glance.

She had a big smile on her face and called out gently, "Weiguo."

Shen Weiguo raised his head.

At first, he didn't recognize Liao Qinghe, "Who are you?"

Suddenly, he saw clearly and his anger flared up. He stood up abruptly and roared, "Get out! Get out immediately!"

What right did she have to appear in his ward?

It was okay that she left him.

Everyone would weigh the pros and cons and want a better life.

He had limited abilities and couldn't keep her. He accepted it.

But she took away the money for his son's medical treatment and the house payment.

Was she even human?

She had ruined all of Xiao Guang's hopes!

At that time, Xiao Guang was only two years old.

If the cochlear implant had been done at that time, Xiao Guang could have grown up healthy and happy like an ordinary child soon.

He wouldn't have been discriminated against, wouldn't have had to go to a special school, and wouldn't have been inferior, sensitive or lived cautiously.

"Weiguo, don't be angry. I didn't know you were in the hospital before, so I'm coming to see you now," Liao Qinghe evaded the main issue.

Shen Weiguo became even angrier.

Was it a matter of whether she came to see him or not? Huh?

"Get out! Get out immediately! I don't want to see you in my life. You don't deserve it!" Shen Weiguo was so angry that his chest was heaving violently.

After shouting this sentence, he couldn't even stand steadily.

The nurse immediately supported him and said to Liao Qinghe, "Madam, the patient is very emotional. Please leave."

Liao Qinghe was dissatisfied and raised her chin, "Oh, we're husband and wife. There are always some small conflicts between husband and wife, and we'll make up after a while. Don't worry. I'll take good care of him in the future."

Hearing that they were husband and wife, the nurse was shocked and didn't dare to drive her away directly. She could only persuade her nicely, "Madam, please don't stimulate the patient."

"Don't worry. I won't stimulate him. I also hope that he can get better soon," Liao Qinghe put the flowers on the cabinet.

She also put the fruits away, as if she hadn't left for more than ten years and hadn't taken away Xiao Guang's life-saving money. She put on a smiling face and asked Shen Weiguo eagerly, "Weiguo, would you like a banana or a mango?"

She also saw the news that Shen Mo Di and Huo Mingze were going to have a wedding next month.

Seeing that the bride's surname was Shen, she paid attention to it. Then she remembered that the daughter adopted by Shen Weiguo was named Shen Mo Di.

She took a closer look at Shen Mo Di's photo.

Although Shen Mo Di had changed a lot from when she was a child, her facial features still looked a bit similar if you looked carefully.

After all, when she left, Shen Mo Di was already eleven years old.

She was afraid of making a mistake, so she read a lot of comments carefully.
