Chapter 704: Arrival at Li City
Tong Yaohui rented a van, and the whole family gathered at the hospital entrance, waiting for Si Chen. At six in the afternoon, after Si Chen finished a surgery, they immediately headed to Li City.
Considering the elderly and children on board, the driver didn’t drive too fast and even took a break halfway, causing a significant delay. By the time they arrived at Li City Hospital, daylight had broken.
They inquired about the ward and, upon their arrival at the Inpatient Department, bumped into the doctor in charge of Lin Fengying. Having previously worked together, the doctor shook his head slightly when he saw Si Chen, patting him on the arm and advising him.
"Dr. Si, you should hurry and see your mother for the last time."
Being doctors themselves, they couldn’t hide Lin Fengying’s condition. All they could do was comfort Si Chen.
Si Chen nodded and said, "Thank you." He, together with Tong Yao, then led everyone else into the ward.
Si Boyi and Zhang Lijuan’s family were standing teary-eyed in front of the bed. Seeing that Si Chen and the others had arrived, Si Boyi’s already red eyes reddened further as he choked on his words, "Big brother, sister-in-law."
Si Chen pressed his lips together and replied with a curt "Mm," and then walked to the bedside. Lin Fengying, who was lying on the bed with a ventilator, seemed to sense her eldest son’s presence. She slowly opened her eyes and weakly opened her mouth, but no words came out. Tears flowed continuously from the corner of her eyes.
Si Chen and Tong Yao called their two children to the bedside and said, "This is Si Yang and Tong Yue."
"Grandma."
