Chapter 244 Daddy is a Sleeping Beauty

After Ji Ning received the call, her whole body was paralyzed and her mind went blank.

The people in the company were worried about her, so Wang Shuqin drove her to the hospital and closely monitored her emotions along the way.

There were no tears in her eyes, but her expression was frozen. She didn't seem to be crying or laughing, and her whole body was shaking violently.

During this time, Wang Shuqin touched her hand.

That doesn't look like the hand of a living person, it looks more like someone who has lost temperature.

When she arrived at the hospital, Zhou Jingmo was still being treated and the operating room had a red light on.

Zhou's father and mother arrived shortly afterwards and paced anxiously. Zhou Zhixi tried to comfort them. She saw that the home was already a mess and she couldn't make it any messier.

She also asked Tongtong's teacher to take care of Tongtong temporarily.

Pei Qingrong and Han Baoyi came next. Pei Qingrong punched the wall so hard that his hand bled.

Han Baoyi didn't stop him, knowing that he hated injustice, but she still didn't stop him in the end.

She walked quietly to Ji Ning, said nothing, and held her hand.

But she couldn't warm them up. No matter what she tried, Ji Ning's hands were always cold.

Ji Ning's legs and feet were weak, but she kept standing. She couldn't sit down at all. Her chest seemed to be hollowed out. She could only stare at the light in the operating room and couldn't turn at all.

Her throat felt like it was clogged with a ball of bloody cotton. She couldn't even breathe, and she didn't even dare to make an effort.

The operation lasted seven or eight hours, and the first person to walk out was the chief surgeon.

"Old Qian, how is it?"

Father Zhou came forward with bloodshot eyes.

Director Qian neither nodded nor shook his head, but his face was solemn. "I have done everything our medical staff can do at present. The most critical thing is these 48 hours. Don't be too optimistic. Be mentally prepared."

Ji Ning's body slipped and Han Baoyi took the opportunity to hug her tightly.

Ji Ning's body was actually overwhelmed and she wanted to faint, but a voice in her heart kept telling her: Hold on, you must hold on!

At this moment, all clarity and rationality in the brain returned to zero.

She was on the verge of losing her beloved.

No wonder after she was reborn that time, she warned herself not to love anyone again because it was too painful.

The painful feeling of powerlessness that one's fate is tied to someone else...

But she doesn't regret it.

It was just that it hurt too much now, as if there was a woodpecker that was repeatedly nibbling away at the space outside her empty heart, little by little, until it swallowed her up completely, sucking her into a black hole where only pain, repression and torment remained.

She didn't know how she got to the ICU, and looked at Zhou Jingmo through a layer of glass.

He was on a ventilator and various emergency equipment, barely keeping him alive.

His handsome face had scars and bandages on his body, making him look lifeless.

He couldn't move or speak.

But he was such a lively person yesterday, guiding her on her thesis, bathing the two children and telling them stories.

After a while, the police arrived. They took pictures of the accident scene. Even though the photos were not very clear, you could see that the things scattered on the ground were all her favorite foods.

Ji Ning covered her lips tightly, but she still couldn't cry.

Han Baoyi didn't try to persuade her to cry, as persuasion would seem weak and powerless at this time, so she just gave her a tight hug.

Before, Ji Ning felt as if her feet were stepping on cotton and her vision was foggy and unreal. However, when she saw these photos, it was as if a string in her heart broke. She vaguely realized that this was not a dream but reality.

Her voice choked up, "Baoyi, do you think...if he doesn't like me and doesn't buy these things for me, he won't..."

"No." Han Baoyi interrupted her directly. Seeing her distress, she felt a little bit of empathy, but she also understood that people don't have true empathy. What she felt was probably not even one ten-thousandth of what Ji Ning felt. "It's not your fault."

Ji Ning silently pressed against her chest.

During the crucial forty-eight hours, Ji Ning stood outside without stopping, looking at him through the transparent glass, her eyes sore from staring, for fear of missing any movement from him.

What if her lover wakes up?

But he never woke up, and her sense of reality kept building up, making her gradually realize clearly that this was not a dream.

The pain also increased dramatically.

"Child, please eat something." Zhou's mother handed over a bowl of porridge.

"Okay." Ji Ning took it numbly, still looking at him. In fact, she couldn't eat it at all. Once she swallowed it, her stomach would churn with sourness.

But in order to hold on and see him wake up, she had to eat even if she had to force herself.

Seeing that Ji Ning looked uncomfortable while eating, Zhou's mother took the porridge away after she drank a few mouthfuls.

What followed was a long wait, with every second feeling like an eternity.

Ji Ning kept watching the time. In less than forty-eight hours, her lover would wake up.

But the doctor also said that emergencies could occur during these 48 hours and he could pass away at any time.

This is a tug-of-war between life and death.

He was trying, but they couldn't help.

At first, I didn’t dare tell the children, after all, I thought they were young and wouldn’t be able to accept things well.

But later Zhou's mother realized that if she didn't see her father for the last time, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

On the way here——

"Where's Dad?" Yuanyuan asked innocently, holding a little rabbit doll in her arms and carrying a little rabbit backpack on her back.

Her facial features and eyes are most like Ji Ning, and Zhou's mother doesn't know how to explain it to her.

Manman seemed to have noticed something, patted her hands, and then held her hands tightly again.

Mother Zhou hugged her two children tightly with heartache. They were such good children, one so cute and the other so precocious.

Jing Mo, Ning Ning and these two children should have been the happiest family of four in the world.

but now……

Arriving at the hospital, Yuanyuan looked at him through the glass in confusion, "Dad, why is Dad lying there?"

"So is he like Sleeping Beauty? If mommy kisses him, he will wake up?"

She was always asking questions at home, and this time was no exception, with an innocent look on her face.

Ji Ning squatted down, her eyes slightly wet, and rubbed her hair, "Yes, baby, you are right."

Yuanyuan was dazed and felt that something had changed.

The smile on her face soon drooped at the corners of her eyes and mouth.

The forty-eight hours had not yet arrived, but we finally had the opportunity to send our closest people in, just in sterile clothing.

Ji Ning finally plucked up the courage to go in and looked at him closely. He had lost weight because he had not eaten for such a short time, but it was still the face she was familiar with.

She held his hand, spring flowers were blooming outside the window, but her lover had not yet woken up.

"Jing Mo, the crabapple blossoms outside are blooming, will you accompany me to see them?"

"Jingmo, the sun is shining brightly. Yuanyuan said she wanted to go riding a horse."

"Jing Mo, you said you would go back with me for the Central South University's anniversary celebration this year. Does your promise count?"

…………

"Jing Mo..."

"Jing Mo..."

"Jing Mo..."

At the end, she could only hold his hand tightly, put her forehead on the back of his hand, and repeat his name over and over again in an affectionate and heart-wrenching voice.

She had heard that if you try your best to keep chanting the name of a desperate person, you may be able to bring back his soul.

No matter if it works or not, at least give it a try!

In a blink of an eye, it was the critical forty-eight-hour mark. It was already night and everything was quiet all around.

The two children were like chicks pecking at rice, with drooping eyelids. They were very sleepy, but they refused to leave and wanted to stay with their father.

Ji Ning looked up at the clock. The ticking time seemed to be hitting her heart.

Forty-eight hours have passed—
