Chapter 904: Shock but No Danger
“Dad, wake up.”
Xia Ruoxin was elated and hurriedly released her fingers. Putong! Putong!
She seemed to be able to hear Lu Ke’en’s heart beating. His throat was still making sounds, and his chest started to move up and down.
Slowly, Lu Ke’en opened his eyes and raised his hand weakly. The corners of his eyes were slightly wet.
Xia Ruoxin hurriedly held his hand tightly and heaved a sigh of relief.
“You’re okay now. You’re okay.” She lightly held Lu Ke’en’s chest. “Dad, follow me and breathe.”
She got Lu Ke’en to follow her breathing momentum. When Lu Ke’en’s breathing stabilized, she then hurriedly found her phone and called for an ambulance. It was such a coincidence as the entire family was not around, but Lu Ke’en had met with this incident. Xia Ruoxin really could not imagine if the light was not turned on, if she was not here, and if she did not know first-aid; perhaps Lu Ke’en would really just pass on like that.
She called the hospital and turned back, but Lu Ke’en was still lying on the floor; Xia Ruoxin did not dare to move him. She could only kneel on the floor and hold his hand tightly.
At this time, Lu Ke’en just opened his eyes; and his face was still pale but had a bit of color. The main thing was that he could breathe, and his chest kept rising from time to time. Those precious air entered from his nose to his chest, to his lungs, and finally to his blood and muscles.
Not long later, the ambulance arrived. After all, they were medical professionals so when they came and gave Lu Ke’en an oxygen mask and a drip, Lu Ke’en’s original pale face had almost immediately become livelier. Xia Ruoxin also ran behind them and did not even wear her shoes when she went out.
“Don’t worry, he’ll be okay.” The doctor at the side kept reassuring Xia Ruoxin, and she wanted to not worry too. However, her hands kept on trembling, and so did her breathing.
Only until Lu Ke’en was sent to the hospital, underwent a whole series of checks, and had escaped the critical stage as said by the doctor... did Xia Ruoxin fall on the floor helplessly. She hugged her body tightly and was very cold and scared.
The doctor said that it was a sudden attack as his heart had problems originally. However, if he paid more attention normally, it would not pose too much of a problem. Also, he had to carry emergency heart pills with him regularly.
The next day when Lu Jinrong and Jian Qingying rushed back, they saw Xia Ruoxin outside the ward barefooted and in thin clothes. Her entire person looked as pitiful as if she was deserted.
When Jian Qingying was about to say something, Lu Jinrong shook his head towards her. Jian Qingying turned around sadly and leaned against the door to Lu Ke’en’s ward to look at the man inside who was attached to all kinds of tubes. It was her husband—her husband that had spent more than half of her life with her.
Sometimes, she really did not dare to imagine how she would live on if he abandoned her.
Lu Jinrong took off his jacket and wrapped Xia Ruoxin in it. It was only then that he realized that it had been a few months, but she did not get any heavier and was still as light as a feather. If the wind was slightly stronger, perhaps she would really be blown away by it.
Not long later, the director of the hospital came over and called a few department heads over to check on Lu Ke’en’s condition.
“Old Mr. Lu is different as this was a sudden case. Luckily, he was discovered early, and someone had done first-aid on him on time. You should really thank your daughter for being so capable,” that doctor said and felt very confused. “Apparently, Old Mr. Lu’s heart had already stopped beating, but your daughter luckily knows how to do CPR and forcefully fought for time for the patient. If not, by the time we rushed over, we might not be able to save the patient.
“This time, it’s just a shock without danger. Just pay more attention next time, and it’ll be okay.”
Lu Jinrong finally heaved a sigh of relief. He walked over and hugged Jian Qingying’s shoulders.
“Mom, don’t worry. Dad is fine. That old man won’t bear to die; he hasn’t carried his grandkids yet.”
“Who talks about their dad like that?” Even though Jian Qingying was smiling, she wailed loudly while hugging her son. Her heart was all wrenched as she was frightened that the old one would not be able to pass this obstacle and would just leave her.
One’s life was really too short. When one reached their age—if something happened to them, it would not be physical separation but separation by death. Then, how was she going to live on for the next few years?
“Can we go in and see the patient?” Lu Jinrong asked the doctor.
The doctor nodded. “Yes, but don’t stay for too long. After all, the patient needs to rest. When he wakes up and is confirmed to be okay, he can be discharged.”
“Thank you.” Lu Jinrong’s tightly-held finger was finally relaxed, and he decided to bring Lu Ke’en home to take care of him. He knew his father’s temperament more than anything else. If they wanted him to get better, they had to go according to his wishes and call Uncle Jia over.
Uncle Jia was the Lu family’s family doctor, but his father was always not on good terms with him. Perhaps he was not worried about his body at all, but he was afraid that someone else would point out his problems so he did not like Doctor Jia. This time, he believed that he would no longer take his life as a joke. This joke really could not be made; if it was made wrong, one’s life would be gone.
Everything would end if he left on his own.
Then, what about his mother? In the first half of her life, she had been missing her daughter. It was not easy for her to be more alert, but did she need to start missing her old man in the future?
Lu Ke’en woke up the next day. Once he opened his eyes, he saw his wife’s swollen eyes from crying, his son’s reddened eyes, and Xia Ruoxin who was standing beside Lu Jinrong.
He extended his hand towards Xia Ruoxin. “Xiaohua, come over.”
Xia Ruoxin walked over and squatted in front of the sickbed.
Lu Ke’en placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s head. “This time, Dad really needs to thank you. Without you, Dad would be gone yesterday; and your mom wouldn’t have lasted very long.”
“You’re my Dad.” Xia Ruoxin held Lu Ke’en’s hands tightly. Actually, she knew that he was an awkward and cute father. On one hand, he always pulled a long face towards his daughter, but if one had to talk about doting on her, he was actually the first in the family.
Men would always hide their feelings deep and were very introverted. They would not talk about love all day long but would remember it in their hearts and do it secretly.
Lu Ke’en lightly held Xia Ruoxin’s hands. Perhaps he was too tired so he fell asleep again after a while. However, his health indexes were not bad and should be able to go home the next day.
