C29 The Price of Freedom

Since Lele and his mother were both in the hospital, the place where Lele used to stay was now empty. Su Rui decided to sleep in a small room today and not disturb Lee Ai for the time being.

Alex stood up from the sofa, pointed to the kitchen and said, "I made you some porridge. You can have a drink later. "It's already very late, so I'll be leaving first."

Su Rui nodded. She can't leave Alex on the couch for the night.

"Su Rui, if you encounter any difficulties, you can look for me. We. After all, he's an old classmate, isn't he? " When Su Rui walked to the door, Alex turned around and warned her.

Su Rui smiled and nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of Lee Ai for me." Lee Ai was a very good girl. I don't mind if you take advantage of the situation and enter to chase after her. "

Alex and Lee Ai had been very close, and even when Lee Ai was at her most frustrated, she still wanted to find him. They must be getting along well. Also, Alex looks like a nice guy, thoughtful, shy, kind.

If Lee Ai had chosen someone like Alex instead of Shang Tiannan, perhaps she wouldn't be injured today.

Alex's face darkened a little. He lowered his head and changed his shoes as he mumbled, "This is the only thing that can't be helped."

Su Rui looked at him in surprise. "Why?"

Alex raised his eyes, looked at her indifferently, and softly said, "I have someone in my heart." Then he turned around and left Su Rui's house as if he was escaping.

Su Rui stood there, flabbergasted, then found it laughable.

It's just that I like another girl, is there a need to be so shy?

He really didn't know how he had spent all these years studying in the evil country of Mi. Su Rui knew that it was shocking.

Alex went downstairs. As he walked towards the parking space, he couldn't help but glance at the black Audi from before.

Strangely, the car was still parked. The window had been rolled up, so Alex couldn't see the person inside. He could vaguely feel that there was something inside that he couldn't ignore, even though it was a few meters away, even though it was separated by a glass window. He still made Alex feel oppressed.

Who was he?

Su Rui's friend?

Alex almost went to say hello, but his feet moved and stopped.

He couldn't rashly disturb Su Rui's life.

But as he drove away from the neighborhood, Alex couldn't help but remember the license number.

District building 3, seventh floor. Su Rui had turned off the TV and gone into the small room. She pushed aside the curtains and leaned against the window in the dark, quietly watching the black car that was parked downstairs.

Si Guanqun stopped at her floor for the whole night. She saw the occasional glow of cigarette butts coming from the window, flickering in the dead of night.

She also stood by the window for the entire night, not thinking about anything and appearing strangely calm.

When Su Rui went to work, Lee Ai still hadn't woken up yet. She prepared breakfast and then packed up two servings of the porridge Alex cooked last night. She first went to the hospital.

Si Guanqun left at 4am in the morning. Su Rui took a taxi to the hospital at 5am in the morning.

Alex was a Southerner. The porridge he cooked was exceptionally delicious and viscous.

Because of this, Su Rui was even more certain that he was a good man.

It was a pity that Lee Ai couldn't be with him.

When they arrived at the hospital, Su's mother and Lele had already woken up and were being supported by the nurse as they walked back and forth in the corridor. Su Rui walked over and first scooped a bowl of porridge for Su's mother. Then, she pulled Lele's hand and whispered: "Lele is going to have surgery tomorrow. Are you afraid?"

Lele shook his head, and a sunny smile appeared on his handsome face, "After the surgery, my illness will be completely cured, and I can help Grandma with more things. "Lele is not afraid."

Su Rui's nose twitched.

All her parents wanted their child to be sensible early. Only she was afraid to see Lele being sensible — this made her feel guilty.

"Yea, after the surgery, Lele will be able to play with the other children. He can play soccer and run." Su Rui put him on her knees and held back the pain in her heart as she smiled and thought about the things that would happen in the future.

Due to his heart disease, Lele has been unable to participate in intense activities, which made him isolated by the other kindergarten children. Su Rui had known about this all along, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Lele was also obviously happy.

Su's mother listened quietly at the side. When the mother and son were done talking, she tugged at Su Rui's clothes, gesturing for her to go outside and talk for a while.

Su Rui could only put Lele down. Just as she was about to leave the ward, Lele suddenly stretched out his hand and weakly touched Su Rui's hand. He raised his head and timidly asked, "... "Mom, can you see dad when you have surgery?"

He overheard other nurses say that both his parents would be there for an operation as large as a heart transplant. Because maybe he would never get down from the operating table again.

He had always avoided talking about his father. His grandmother had said that his father had gone far away. However — even a sensible child would want to see a father that everyone has at this time.

If he really couldn't get off the operating table again …

Su Rui was stunned and didn't know how to reply. Luckily, Su's mother interrupted, "Lele, Grandma and your mother have something to discuss with you. We'll talk about this later. "

Lele nodded and did not ask anymore.

Su's mother pulled Su Rui out of the intensive care unit. When they stood in the tea room at the side of the corridor, Su's mother asked in a deep voice, "It's Lele's operation, where did you get the money from?"

"... Friend borrowed it. " Su Rui said indifferently.

"Lee Ai?"

"No, Lee Ai just got divorced. She doesn't have much money now either." Su Rui didn't want to lie, and she couldn't tell her mother the truth either. She could only vaguely say, "She's another friend."

"Male or female?" Su's mother suddenly became sharp.

Su Rui was speechless. After a long while, she finally said, "Male."

She had already prepared a whole bunch of explanations. Fortunately, Su's mother didn't continue her questions.

Su Rui was about to sigh when she heard Su's mother say, "Su Rui, find a man to marry, right? You're still young, you can't live like this for the rest of your life. Find something that's good for Lele. Mom won't be able to accompany you forever. What should we do if you are going to be alone in the future? "

"... "We'll see."

"How can we say that again? When Lele is older, he will know how to recognize his own son." He had to find a stepfather for him, and he had to do it as soon as possible. When I get out of the hospital, I'll give Zhang Luoluo a look, and it doesn't matter if he leaves or not. Last time, Aunt Zhang from the market told me that one of her nephews... " Whenever Su's mother brought up this topic, it would become endless.

Su Rui braced herself to listen. Even though she was full of impatience, it wasn't convenient for her to refuse. That was my mother's good intentions.

She had already killed her father, couldn't she make her mother feel better?

"After this period of time, I will definitely take this matter to heart." After waiting for Su's mother to finish, Su Rui kindly comforted, "Mom, on Lele's side, please take care of me." I have a day's work to do today. "

Su's mother had only hurt her scalp. Although it was scary at the time, it didn't seem to be a big problem after a night of rest.

Su's mother then nodded her head and said, "You can go. Work is more important. If you get fired again, our family of three will have to drink Dongfeng."

Su Rui acted like she was pardoned from a dream. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Su's mother ask, "Lele said he wants to see dad. How should he explain it?"

"Just explain as before." Su Rui said calmly.

Dad's on the other side of the ocean and he can't make it, so I'm sorry, baby.

This explanation had been lying to him for several years, but now that he was four years old, he was actually very smart. Su Rui didn't know how long she could use this explanation to deceive him.

"Sigh." Su's mother nodded and said gloomily, "Lele is so pitiful."

Su Rui felt perplexed.
