Recently, his health condition has been exposed to the news, causing MY company’s stock to drop again and again, and the company must be looking for him for this matter.
There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to avoid, will pick up the cell phone, unexpectedly, but not the company to call.
“Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhan?”
“Uh-huh. Where are you?”
“Hello, we’re here at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and there’s something we’d like to talk to you about.”
Jerry Xiao ‘s eyebrows furrowed, and his tone cooled down, “I have nothing to talk to you about. I have not sent you a lawyer’s letter, I am already very polite. Please don’t make any calls to me in the future!”
His tone was poor, Zoey subconsciously looked over, he cast her a reassuring look and was about to hang up. But he heard an anxious voice over there, “Mr. Zhan, you must spare some time to hear us out. It’s vital!”
“You only have one minute!” Jerry Xiao looked down at the watch on his wrist.
“It’s like this, about a few weeks ago, a Ms. Sunny Qin came to our hospital for an IVF, and our hospital used your sperm. But now we realized that when the implantation took place, we took the wrong sperm source because of our mistake. So …”
“Take the wrong one?” Jerry Xiao narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean, take it wrong?”
“That is, the implantation was not Mr. Zhan’s sperm. About this, our hospital is really sorry. But since the contact can’t reach Ms. Sunny Qin for the time being, we can only bother you. There is one more thing …”
Jerry Xiao looked at Zoey and couldn’t believe that there was such a thing. Zoey looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what kind of phone call he was receiving. But from the look in his eyes, he could already tell that it was definitely a good thing.
“Mr. Zhan, our hospital apologizes to you once again-” the doctor paused for a moment, but in the next second, he broke out even more shocking news, “I hope that you can notify Miss Qin to come to our hospital as soon as possible to have a blood test done. This is because yesterday our hospital discovered that the sperm implanted by Ms. Qin was carrying the Aids virus.”
“AIDS?” exclaimed Jerry Xiao, who had just celebrated the hospital’s mistake.
Those four words were a bomb that exploded with a bang, and on one side, everyone except the two children who didn’t understand looked toward him in surprise.
What’s going on? What does AIDS have to do with anything?
I do not know what was said on the other side of the phone, Jerry Xiao’s face was heavy, bowed his head and answered a few words, reported a series of numbers, a home phone number, and then hurriedly disconnected.
“What happened?” Zoey asked, holding his hand worriedly.
Both Zhan Jingtian and Mrs. Zhan looked at him with heavy faces … “It was Addenbrooke’s Hospital that called. The sperm implanted by Sunny Qin is not mine, and … the other party’s sperm carries the AIDS virus!” Jerry Xiao burst out the shocking news.
Everyone was shocked on the spot. Mrs. Zhan was feeding KK a milk candy, when she heard her son’s words, her hand trembled and the milk candy fell onto KK.
“Grandma, are you okay?” KK looked worriedly at Mrs. Zhan’s pale face.
“Grandma … is fine …,” said Mrs. Zhan, both hands trembling. Oh my god! What kind of sin did she create? If she had known about it and blocked her in the first place, things wouldn’t have turned into what they are now, even more unmanageable …
“We’re going back as soon as we can. The hospital is calling Sunny Qin at home now.” Jerry Xiao immediately stood up and made arrangements.
Outside, the wind is cold. Inside, the temperature is permanent, and Sunny Qin is lying on a recliner in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. When she thought of their family reunion today, while she was abandoned here alone, the book in her hand was suddenly slammed heavily on the glass curtain, making a loud ‘thump-‘ sound in the huge space.
Before she could shake her head, the landline in the room suddenly rang. She didn’t want to move, so she didn’t bother to listen. Originally thought that if the phone rang a few times and no one answered, it would naturally be disconnected. But where did she know that the phone kept ringing continuously, with no appearance of ending at all.
Annoying or not?
Sunny Qin was impatient and had to get up to answer the phone.
“Hello.”
“Hello, is this Ms. Sunny Qin?”
I can’t believe she’s looking for herself? Did anyone know she was here? A little surprised, she asked, “It’s me, may I ask where you are?”
Over there, someone said a series of words with her, her hand gripped the handset, the more she gripped tighter and tighter. Until her fingers turn pale, she still can’t believe what the other person said, “What did you … say?”
“Our hospital is willing to take all the responsibility for such a blunder. However, Ms. Qin, please come to the hospital as soon as possible for a blood test.”
“Did you … just say AIDS?” her teeth, were trembling. Those last four letters of the alphabet took almost all of her strength.
How she wished that the hospital end had overruled her for asking such a question, but instead, two words just spat out from there in a million apologetic ways, “Yes.”
“You guys must have gotten it wrong somewhere!” She suddenly screamed out, her emotions breaking down all at once, “How could you have gotten the wrong sperm? NO! I must not have AIDS, I must not have gotten the wrong sperm! You guys lied to me … you guys lied to me …”
“Ms. Qin, please calm down. You’re not sure you’re infected yet, so I hope you’ll come to the hospital as soon as possible!”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! You’re a hospital, how could you get something like this wrong? Don’t lie to me, I can’t be infected!” She screamed hysterically, reassuring herself over and over again, but not daring to hear the other person refute her voice again, she put the phone down with a ‘bang-‘.
And fearing that the other person might call again, she unplugged the line almost immediately.
The whole atmosphere went silent and she crouched on the floor in shock and weakness. She didn’t want to believe it, and she couldn’t believe it, but all that echoed in her head was the words from the phone call. Like a spell, they haunted her, causing her to have a splitting headache and another emotional breakdown.
“AH-!!!” She clutched her head and let out a frantic scream, suddenly pounding the small of her back as desperately as if she were insane. Tears of terror continued to flow, “Bastard! Asshole! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!”
She threw up her fists, venting her anger as if she kept pounding, blood gurgled out from her body, and she didn’t feel it at all, not stopping for a moment. Finally, the cloaked head fell to sit on the ground, messy hair blocked the face as pale as death.
A group of people, rushing in with keys, were met with this scene.
Sunny Qin was lying in a pool of blood, her eyes were closed, but her face was covered with hatred and despair. Hair fell in the pool of blood, was soaked, pasted on the pale face. Even the beige carpet on the floor was dyed blood red, shocking to the eyes. Her entire person was enveloped by a heavy sadness and despair, making it unbearable to watch.
Everyone was horrified for a few seconds and subconsciously winced, only to find the images oozing.
Jerry Xiao almost immediately probed his hands over the children’s eyes, causing them to double over and turn their backs. “Don’t look!”
“What’s going on?” KK and Nini were curious. Jerry Xiao admonished Zoey , “Take the kids to the car, this is no place for them.”
The image was so creepy that even Zoey didn’t dare to look at it, let alone the two kids. She nodded and hurriedly led the two children toward the car … “Zoey , what happened?” KK and Nini are both curious babies, repeatedly turning back to see what’s going on, but Zoey has already blocked behind them, blocking their line of sight.
“Shhh! Be good and don’t ask any questions.” Zoey reminded the two children gently and hurriedly led them into the car. Judas shivered at the thought of that image just now and looked worriedly inside the door.
…
Mrs. Zhan shook her head and was about to rush over to hug Sunny Qin when Jerry Xiao made a move to pull his mother back, “Mom, let me go! You call the emergency number!”
Zhan Qintian had already dialed the number one step faster, Jerry Xiao took a few steps to cross into that pool of blood, Mrs. Zhan grabbed her son, her hand trembling continuously, “Son, wait.”
Jerry Xiao looked at her, only to see Mrs. Zhan hurriedly running out from the kitchen, taking a pair of gloves over her son’s hands. She was so afraid that her whole body was trembling, even her voice was trembling when she spoke, “Just in case there are wounds, it’s not good if it gets infected. Son, this may be retribution … retribution …”
Could it be, that she will have her comeuppance too?
“Mom, don’t think nonsense.” Jerry Xiao couldn’t persuade his mother any further and crouched down, hugging Sunny Qin in the pool of blood and tentatively patting her little face. She was disoriented and not awake. The hospital ambulance, quickly came over, Jerry Xiao tried to pick her up, but completely lack of strength. Zhan Qingtian then put on gloves and carried Sunny Qin out of the pool of blood.
As the paramedics carried her onto the stretcher, Zhan Qingtian pursed his lips and reminded them, “There might be something wrong with her blood sample, so pay attention to it and beware of infection.”
Something wrong with the blood sample?
And guard against infection?
The paramedics looked at each other in horror, and the hand that had been about to examine them shrank back in a flash, like it had touched a virus.
Who doesn’t know that’s a subtle way of saying that? This woman, perhaps, is infected with AIDS!
“What are you guys dawdling about? Saving the patient is important!” Seeing them all cowering, Jerry Xiao droned. Only then did a group of paramedics come to their senses, hurriedly put on their sterilized gloves, and carried her to the ambulance with a stiff upper hand.
“Mom, you go along for a bit. Zoeyand I will take the kids back first.”
“Good.” Mrs. Zhan nodded.
“I’ll stay and have the house cleaned up.” Zhan Qingtian volunteered.
“Uh-huh.” Before Mrs. Zhan got into the car, she worriedly explained to her husband again, “Be careful, don’t touch the blood.”
“I know.” Zhan Qingtian nodded.
Seeing Jerry Xiao approaching, Zoey hurriedly opened the car door and ran out of the car.
“How’s it going?” Zoey asked worriedly.
“It’s on its way to the hospital for resuscitation, but hopefully it’s not life-threatening.”
Just remembering the scene just now, Zoey still have a heart palpitating. Her hands were covered in cold sweat. Jerry Xiao held her tightly and soothed her, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid ….”
“Well …” Zoey wrapped her arms around his waist, her small face pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and spoke softly, “Suddenly I feel that people are really so fragile. Yesterday she was even good to talk to me, today found out that she may be infected with aids …”
Life, really is full of variables at all times. Therefore, every minute and every second of the present moment, they really should cherish and embrace.
“Let’s take the baby back first, and then we’ll check on her at the hospital later.” Jerry Xiao swept her deep into his arms.
…
When Jerry Xiao and Zoey came over, Mrs. Zhan was sitting outside the emergency room door.
“Mom, how’s it going?” Jerry Xiao asked.
