Feeling Uneasy

The hospital ambulance arrived quickly. With the cooperation of the police and medical staff, they tied him up. I felt a little sorry for him. That desperate look and desperate struggle was like a madman in hell.

Pei Shiyu took Xiaolong from a neighbor and followed everyone downstairs. The ambulance sped away, and I drove them both towards the hospital. To be honest, although I had reconciled with her with Li Zong's intervention, there was still a knot in my heart. But now I have completely let go of the previous grievances. Maybe their family's experience made me let go, or maybe it was a further understanding of Pei Shiyu that made me let go of past grudges.

Along the way, Pei Shiyu's expression was hard to describe, and I remained silent. Only Xiaolong in the back kept asking, "Auntie, where are we going?"

She probably didn't dare to face the hospital, so she didn't answer.

Even though I chased all the way, I couldn't catch up. I couldn't even see the taillights. A red light could throw my car far away.

At this time, I was thinking a lot, because Pei Shiyu seemed to be even more miserable than me. At least I was living a free and unrestrained life alone, while she was tied down by her family. I unconsciously sighed softly, and my whole heart seemed to quiet down all of a sudden, with less of the impetuousness I had before.

When we were almost there, I slowed down and parked steadily at the door, saying, "You go in first, I'll take Xiaolong up."

Pei Shiyu glanced at Xiaolong and left. I turned around and Xiaolong was looking at me. Perhaps because he wasn't too familiar with me yet, I rarely smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go up."

The child asked me curiously, "What's wrong with Grandpa?"

"He's sick, he has to go to the hospital."

...

After a professional examination, the doctor suggested hospitalization. The mental blow had caused him to have hallucinations. When Pei Shiyu went to complete the procedures, her father was locked up. Seeing his hysterical side, I quickly walked back. If Pei Shiyu saw this scene, she would definitely cry.

Even if she had resentment for what he had done in the past, I think she had already given up at this moment, and my eyes were actually a little moist. What I thought of was how powerful he once was, but he still fell ill.

In the corridor, I rubbed my eyes, and Pei Shiyu happened to meet me, asking in a very soft voice, "Where's my dad?"

"He's inside. The doctor said don't come to see him for the time being. Let him be treated for a while. Let's go back." I told her decisively.

Pei Shiyu wandered around in the corridor for a while, her eyes always looking inside, looking very concerned. I bent down and picked up Xiaolong, and quickly walked out of the hospital without waiting for her. This place was too depressing. When I opened the door just now, I saw the patients inside. Several of them with serious conditions were yelling and screaming. That kind of scene is unimaginable for ordinary people.

I waited in the car for a while before Pei Shiyu came late. I glanced at the time on the dashboard. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I had been hungry all day on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Before starting the car, I looked at Xiaolong in the back and asked in a very gentle tone, "Are you hungry?"

He nodded... The child may not understand yet. I stared at his face for a while and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"KFC."

I sat up straight and asked Pei Shiyu for her opinion, "Is it okay?"

"Yes."

Her eyes were fixed on the front, and her mind was not on the matter of eating at all. My lips moved, and then I closed them again. I originally wanted to say some comforting words, but I didn't know how to persuade her...

I drove to a nearby KFC. Pei Shiyu didn't plan to get out of the car. I glanced at her and asked, "Aren't you eating?"

"I'm not hungry." The expression on her face was very solemn, and she just answered me casually.

I walked straight in and packed a children's meal. Even though it was the Lunar New Year, there were still quite a few people inside.

I handed the paper bag to Xiaolong. The child seemed to be starving. I could hear him gobbling up the food while sitting in the front.

After I sent them back, I said to Pei Shiyu in a concerned tone, "Tidy up the things in the house that are broken. I'll help you buy anything you need. I can install the TV. I'll bring it over as soon as the furniture store opens."

"We'll see."

She just responded to me faintly. Her voice sounded like she didn't want to trouble me.

Watching their backs as they walked away, I didn't drive away immediately. This time, I picked up my phone and took the initiative to call Li Zong...

"Did you go?" Li Zong asked me in an uncertain tone.

"Her dad was sent to the hospital. He's having a bit of a mental breakdown."

"Hospitalized?"

"Yeah, although it's not that serious, the doctor recommends treatment. The things in the house are all broken."

"How could a good person become like this?"

"The blow must have been too great. He couldn't take it psychologically."

"I won't be back until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Can you help me take care of them these few days?"

"I don't think it's necessary. Pei Shiyu is very strong. Even if you help her, she will refuse."

"Okay, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

I was about to hang up when Li Zong suddenly changed the subject, "I heard you fought with him again?"

"Who told you?" I asked him.

"You don't need to worry about that. Don't quarrel with him again in the future. The people in the circle are very complicated. Don't let your family affairs affect our company's reputation. It would be too embarrassing to spread it. Also, you know Chen Biao. He already has conflicts with you. In this way, he will take the opportunity to grab business."

"What does it have to do with Chen Biao? He's not in the same industry as me now."

"He has a good relationship with Lao Liang. Your dad also fought with him last time and was almost killed by Chen Biao."

"I would thank him if he killed Lin Hai. Do you think I want to get in touch with him? He ran to the construction site to make trouble before the New Year and called several helpers. I've already let him off lightly by not hitting him. Also, I underestimated Lin Yang. I finally saw his true colors last time, just like his mother, very selfish and vicious."

"Listen to me, even if you can't stand them, they are still family. They are them, you just need to be yourself. No matter how bad Lin Hai is, he is your father. This is an unchangeable fact. Even if you don't respect him in your heart, don't hit your father. What you are doing is against the natural order."

Li Zong gave me a long lecture. Although I know his starting point is for my own good, I will never submit to Lin Hai.

This phone call lasted a long time. I can more or less understand his good intentions. People like Lin Hai, even if I don't do anything, have probably offended many people in the circle. This all depends on their own personality. His domineering appearance and his wife are a perfect match.
