"Chenxing..." He suddenly awoke, raising his head abruptly.
A young nurse stood beside him, "Mr. Gu, are you alright?"
He had been keeping his head buried between the two children, hanging low, ignoring even their loud cries. The attending doctor asked her to co and take the children away, but as soon as she approached him, she saw Mr. Gu suddenly raise his head, shouting loudly, which startled her.
A strange woman appeared in Gu Shaocheng’s view. He glared at the nurse with intense ferocity, "Where’s Chenxing?"
The nurse pointed to the operating table.
A bead of sweat gathered and trickled down his forehead.
His eyes searched everywhere, but all he saw were one, two, three, four clear figures dressed in white coats, "Where did Chenxing go? She was just talking to !"
"Mr. Gu, you kept your head down just now, no one talked to you. Did you fall asleep?" the nurse cautiously asked.
"Asleep?"
No, he wasn’t asleep!
How could he possibly sleep!
"Mr. Gu, your children are so young. The surgery has been going on for eight hours, they haven’t been fed for at least eight hours. They’ll be starving. You should take them out; it’s too cold in this operating room for them to bear," the nurse kindly advised.
Gu Shaocheng’s mind still hadn’t completely cald down.
The nurse tried to persuade him, "Mr. Gu, how about letting take the children? I can bring them to your family and friends outside the operating room, feed them, change their diapers. Clean and dry babies feel the most comfortable."
But Gu Shaocheng ignored her.
He held his children tightly and wouldn’t let go!
He needed this feeling of fullness; holding the children gave him a slight sense of fullness.
Otherwise, with both hands empty, he would catch hold of nothing at all! The feeling of not being able to hold onto anything was the one he couldn’t bear the most.
So no matter how the nurse tried to persuade him, he didn’t listen, just watched his children. Little Zun Zun, usually the noisiest, was now as quiet as Little Sheng Sheng. Their eyes focused on him, their gaze seemingly able to give him endless strength, supporting him through the toughest tis.
Seeing she couldn’t persuade him, the nurse thought for a mont and left the operating room.
As soon as the operating room door slightly opened, everyone at the door rushed over and surrounded her, "How is it? How is it?"
Seeing the won present, the nurse spoke to Huanhuan and Jingru, "The temperature in the operating room is very low, which is not good for the babies, but we can’t persuade him. So could you prepare so warm swaddling clothes, oh, and diapers and milk, in case the babies need to be fed? We don’t know when the surgery will end."
Jingru understood the nurse’s implication and imdiately said, "I’ll get it ready right away."
Huanhuan, unable to bear the agony of waiting, now had sothing to do, and quickly agreed, "Sister Jingru, I’ll go with you."
A long while later, the nurse brought prepared milk formula, diapers, and warm swaddling clothes, coming to Gu Shaocheng, "Mr. Gu, how about I change the baby’s diaper for you?"
Despite her long persuasion, Gu Shaocheng wouldn’t let go, "I’ll do it myself!"
The two children were really not being well cared for by him now. His hand gently wiped the baby’s tender little bottom, feeling deeply distressed.
If Chenxing knew he was taking such poor care of the children, would she be very disappointed?
