This time Jiang Sui didn't give him a chance to continue. She interrupted him directly, "Brother, don't try to convince me anymore. I won't take the medicine."

As she said that, she threw the entire box of emergency contraceptive pills into the trash can.

Then Jiang Sui sat down next to Si Nian, leaned over and rested his head on Si Nian's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

"Brother," she called him softly, speaking to him in an unusually gentle voice, "Don't say that this possibility is small. Even if it really happens, it doesn't matter. Just think of it as a gift from God. Let's just let it go and accept it calmly, okay?"

Si Nian said nothing, but put his hand on Jiang Sui's back and patted her repeatedly.

Jiang Sui didn't wait for Si Nian to respond to her. She leaned in his arms and continued talking to herself.

"Brother, don't blame me for being selfish. I just want to make you worry. The more you worry, the more you will want to survive. Promise me that you will use your strong willpower to get through this. Then we will get married, become parents together, and see the world together. Just thinking about it now makes you feel very happy, right?"

After hearing what Jiang Sui said, the scene described by Jiang Sui immediately appeared in Si Nian's mind. Indeed, just thinking about it, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

He bent down and kissed Jiang Sui's forehead, and whispered in her ear, "Okay, I'll work hard and then marry you."

Jiang Sui also raised her head slightly and looked at Si Nian. She smiled faintly and said to him, "Then it's a deal. I'll wait for you to marry me."

In the quiet ward, the passionate kiss came again as expected, and even the air was filled with the strong smell of love.

In fact, Si Nian had not finished speaking. In fact, he had fantasized about these things countless times during the years he had been waiting for her.

He thought that if a miracle could happen in his life, he would win her back, have a good relationship with her, and then marry her to make up for what he owed Jiang Sui over the years.

Then have a child that belongs to both of them, just one, no matter if it's a boy or a girl. He doesn't want Jiang Sui to suffer too much, nor does he want her to be bound by the child.

Then they have a common ideal to realize together, and he has made full preparations for this, and he will give her a surprise when the time comes.

This is Si Nian’s truest thought at the moment, but he can’t tell Jiang Sui yet.

——

Jiang Sui had already asked for leave from work that day, and just stayed quietly with Si Nian in the hospital for the entire day.

During that period, I accompanied him to two checkups, and both times Jiang Sui rented a wheelchair and pushed him there.

Si Nian was quite dissatisfied with this. He said to Jiang Sui very reluctantly, "I have a problem with my brain, but I am not disabled . Aren't you exaggerating too much?"

But Jiang Sui was worried that there were too many people in the hospital, and it would be troublesome if someone accidentally bumped into her. The surgery was only a few days away, and no accidents could happen, so she insisted on doing this. Si Nian couldn't beat her, so he had to give in to her in the end.

Before dinner, Jiang Sui suddenly remembered that he would stay with Si Nian that night and should tell Jiang Guodong.

But when she took out her phone, she realized that she had not charged it last night and it had been turned off at some point.

She had no choice but to take Si Nian's cell phone and go to the corridor to call Jiang Guodong.

The call took a long time to be connected, and Jiang Guodong on the other end spoke in a bad tone.

"You kid, after all these years, you still dare to call me?"

Jiang Sui was stunned when he heard this.

Then I realized that Lao Jiang was talking to Si Nian.

She didn't expect that Jiang Guodong was still brooding over Si Nian's breach of promise which led to their breakup.

Jiang Sui inexplicably felt that Lao Jiang's temper was somewhat funny.

She cleared her throat and finally said with a smile, "Dad, it's me!"

Now it was Jiang Guodong on the other end of the phone who was stunned.

"Sui Sui? Why did you call me using Si Nian's number? Tell Dad what happened and I'll come over to help you vent your anger."

Once unfaithful, never again.

It seems that Si Nian's good impression in Lao Jiang's eyes had been completely destroyed by himself six years ago.

This is not a good sign!

Jiang Sui had to quickly speak up for Si Nian and make amends.

So she told Lao Jiang everything in detail on the phone, including what happened before Si Nian separated from her and Si Nian's physical condition.

Finally, she told Lao Jiang that she wanted to stay with Si Nian that night.

But Old Jiang on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Sui thought the call was disconnected.

"Dad, why aren't you talking?" After a while, Jiang Sui couldn't help but ask the person on the other end of the phone.

At this moment, Jiang Guodong let out a long sigh.

He asked his daughter in a deep voice, "Sui Sui, is there no one else around him? It's really not appropriate for you to stay."

Jiang Sui pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then spoke to Jiang Guodong, "Dad, you know his situation. Now he is the only one left in the Si family. Can I leave him to an assistant? No matter what happened before, I can't leave him alone at this time."

Seeing that Jiang Sui was not listening to anything on the phone, Jiang Guodong said, "Well, your aunt Gu and I will go to the hospital to see Si Nian and bring you dinner. We can talk about it when we meet."

After that, he sighed heavily and said, "No matter what happened to the two of you, Si Nian was still the child raised by your mother. He is half a son of our family. It is really uncomfortable for him to be like this now."

Before Jiang Sui could say anything else, Jiang Guodong hung up the phone.

She stood in the corridor for a while.

She knew that as a father, Jiang Guodong would definitely want to stop his daughter after knowing her idea.

If a daughter of a certain family is unmarried and has to take care of a boyfriend who is seriously ill and whose life or death is uncertain, wouldn’t her father feel distressed?

Besides, Lao Jiang still had a grudge against Si Nian because of their previous breakup.

Jiang Sui thought that no matter what, he couldn't escape a long talk with Lao Jiang tonight.

Less than two hours after the phone call ended, Jiang Guodong and Gu Wan appeared in Si Nian's ward.

Si Nian greeted the two of them enthusiastically, but Lao Jiang had a cold face and put the thermos on Si Nian's bedside table without saying a word.

Jiang Sui and Si Nian were both a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Wan secretly pulled Lao Jiang. Although Lao Jiang still didn't say anything, his expression had eased.

Then Gu Wan took Jiang Sui to put the food in the thermos on the coffee table.

Light home-cooked meals, each one is suitable for patients.

Jiang Sui was grateful to Gu Wan at this moment, but she was not good at expressing herself, so she just smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Jiang Sui and Si Nian were eating while Gu Wan asked about Si Nian's health.

Lao Jiang just sat aside and listened quietly without saying a word.

Perhaps not talking to Si Nian directly at this moment was his last resort.

After dinner, Lao Jiang and Gu Wan were about to leave. Just as Jiang Sui had expected, before Lao Jiang left, he asked her to see him off. In fact, the meaning was very clear: the game between them was about to begin.

After leaving the ward, Gu Wan tactfully said that he would go to the parking lot to wait first.

At this time, a breeze was blowing gently in the pavilion in the backyard of the hospital, making the summer night in Shenhai unusually cool.

As soon as Jiang Guodong sat down, he went straight to the point.

"Sui Sui, you can't just stay with him like this! I just understood that surgery has risks. The best outcome is that the surgery is successful and Si Nian recovers. The worst outcome is that he dies directly."

"These two outcomes are fine, but have you ever thought about what if he is the third one? He can't wake up and becomes a vegetable. What will you do? Will you abandon him and find someone else, or stay and keep him company? It's better to be ruthless now!"

Jiang Sui was leaning against a pillar of the pavilion, fiddling with his fingers with his head down.

Hearing what Lao Jiang said, she raised her head and looked at him, her eyes serious and firm, "Dad, no matter what happens to him, I will always be with him. Even if he is gone, there won't be anyone else."

Jiang Sui has his own persistence, and Jiang Guodong feels a little sad.

He continued to persuade her patiently, "Sui Sui, you are still young and you don't know how difficult it is to take care of a patient, let alone a patient who may not be able to respond to you."

"Dad, can't you think on the bright side? There's still a 50% chance of recovery!"

In fact, Jiang Sui was always unwilling to accept those two bad possibilities in his heart.

"Then wait until he recovers, then talk to him!"

Jiang Guodong knew that what he said was selfish, but who wouldn’t feel heartbroken if their daughter made such a choice?

He only has this one daughter in his life, and he did not participate in her growth, which is enough to make him regretful.

Now how could he bear to watch his daughter walk down such a rough road?

Jiang Sui never expected that someone as knowledgeable, cultured and worldly-wise as Lao Jiang would say such words.

As a last resort, she could only bring up Gu Wan to persuade her father.

"Dad, you shouldn't say such things. Aunt Gu didn't say that she would talk to you after you recovered! Didn't she resolutely marry you when you needed someone to take care of you the most? What can she get from you? You can't even give her the most basic obligations as a husband, but she still married you and was willing to accompany you!"

These words immediately made Jiang Guodong silent.

Jiang Sui knew that she shouldn't use Lao Jiang's illness to stab him in the heart, but she had no other choice now. She had to put herself in his shoes. Only in this way would Lao Jiang agree to let her stay with Si Nian.

Jiang Sui hugged his father for the first time with tears in his eyes, "Dad, I'm sorry, I know my words hurt you, I apologize to you, please don't be angry with me. I just want to tell you that Si Nian needs me now, just like you needed Aunt Gu at that time, not only as a lover, but also as a spiritual support, I can't abandon him."

Jiang Guodong's eyes also turned red, and he raised his hands and hugged his daughter tightly.

After a long time, he finally spoke with difficulty , "Okay, I won't say anything, but you have to go to work and take care of Si Nian. You have to take care of yourself. If you are too busy, tell Dad, and Dad and Aunt Gu will help you."

Jiang Sui nodded in Lao Jiang's arms, and the father and daughter hugged each other for a while. Lao Jiang prepared to leave the hospital and go home.

Before Old Jiang walked away, Jiang Sui wiped the tears from his face and suddenly stopped him, saying, "Dad, please say thank you to Aunt Gu for me. Thank her for taking care of you without regrets, and thank her for taking care of me like a mother over the past few years. I will be filial to her in the future."

At this moment, Jiang Guodong suddenly felt that his daughter had indeed grown up and no longer needed him to worry about everything for her.

He gave Jiang Sui a gratified smile and said to her, "If you tell her this in person, I think she will be happier."

When Jiang Sui returned to the ward, Si Nian stared at her eyes for a long time and asked, "Have you cried?"

Jiang Sui pursed her lips and smiled at him without answering.

Si Nian lowered his eyebrows, looking lonely, and murmured in a low voice, "Uncle Jiang must be against you being with me at this time, right? If my daughter did this, I would also stand up and firmly oppose it."
