Chapter 10: Pet Owner Happiness 2
In the afternoon, the warm sunlight shines through the window onto the hospital bed, leaving a little warmth.
I opened the window a little to let fresh air flow into the ward.
Quiet hospital, quiet afternoon. Through the window, I saw the green grass downstairs, where many patients in white and blue hospital gowns were, some accompanied by their families, some pushed in wheelchairs by nurses.
A Baibai had been away for a whole day. In order to take care of Bai Xiaocong, I reported to my parents and asked for leave from school.
I am the strong Xiao Xiaoduo. No difficulty can defeat me. I will not give up studying, but I will also accompany Bai Xiaocong and spend the rest of my life with him...
Bai Xiaocong's mother brought homemade soup to the hospital to see him , but Bai Xiaocong remained unconscious with his eyes closed. The doctor came three times a day to observe his condition, but each time he looked serious. The nurse would replace the medicine bottle with a new one when his drip was about to run out.
And I, with my homework and daily necessities, lived here.
I walked back to Bai Xiaocong's bed, took his right hand, and looked at his closed eyes.
"Aren't you hungry? Mom made delicious chicken soup, why don't you want to get up? Abaibai has gone to find your family, can you wake up soon?"
I put Bai Xiaocong's hand on my face and closed my eyes, hoping that my warmth would infect him and wake him up...
“Ahem…”
A cough was heard at the door of the ward.
"Lu Zhan! Little Gray!"
When I saw the person coming, I hurriedly put Bai Xiaocong's hand back into the quilt and stood up at a loss.
"I heard from my classmates that you took a long vacation. I called Duoduo Pet Hospital and found out that you were in the hospital, so I came to see you."
"Thank you! Lu Zhan." I stood up and took the flowers from Lu Zhan's hand.
“Woof woof, woof woof!”
"Xiao Huihui!" I put the flowers in my hand on the table by the window, then squatted down and touched Xiao Huihui's head. Xiao Huihui struggled to jump into my arms, but because he was held by Lu Zhan, he never succeeded.
Because Abaibai was not around, I couldn’t understand what Xiaohuihui was saying, but for , I could probably guess what it was thinking.
"Xiao Huihui, keep your voice down! Don't disturb Bai Xiaocong!" Lu Zhan scolded in a low voice, and Xiao Huihui became a little quieter.
"Pets are not allowed in the hospital. I put Baibai in my schoolbag and sneaked in yesterday. How could Xiaohuihui get in?"
I looked at Xiao Huihui curiously, who still looked like a hyperactive child even though his mouth was closed, then looked up and asked Lu Zhan.
"Because Xiao Huihui is a 'comfort dog', I take Xiao Huihui to hospitals, nursing homes, or orphanages every week to see people in need. So Xiao Huihui can go in and out of many places that other pets can't go in and out of!"
Lu Zhan smiled at me, and then continued to ask: "Bai Xiaocong still hasn't woken up? I heard from your mother that he has been in a coma. Did the doctor say what disease he has?"
Seeing Lu Zhan's concerned expression, the sadness in my heart surged up again, but when I saw Lu Zhan's concerned expression and thought of what he said to me two days ago, I suppressed the sadness in my heart and said:
"It's a terminal illness. The doctor said that nothing can be done now. Lu Zhan, I'm sorry about what you said that day. I just want to accompany Bai Xiaocong and hope that a miracle will happen."
I stood up and looked at Lu Zhan with firm eyes.
Yes, this is my choice. I like Bai Xiaocong, even if he has a terminal illness, I still like him. Although Lu Zhan is very good, I only regard him as a friend. So, now, when there are only three of us, I want to say what is in my heart.
I looked at Lu Zhan. With his tall figure, straight and upright posture and well-tailored clothes, he stood in front of me like a noble prince.
Lu Zhan looked at me with regret in his eyes, but only for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal.
"So that's how it is. It looks like I'm destined to lose."
Lu Zhan lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows drooped a little, his eyes closed slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said in a relieved tone: "I wish you happiness, and I also hope that Bai Xiaocong's illness can have a miracle."
A stone fell from my heart. This is what Master Lu should be like in my mind. He will not become depressed because of other people’s rejection!
“Woof woof, woof woof!”
At this moment, Xiao Huihui broke free from the leash in Lu Zhan's hand and threw himself on me.
"Xiao Huihui, stop making trouble!" Lu Zhan stepped forward and tried to pull , but Xiao Huihui seemed to have made up his mind and hugged my thighs with his front paws, preventing me from moving.
"I know why. I'll just whisper a few words to it." I smiled at Lu Zhan, then lowered my head and whispered in Xiao Huihui's pink and tender ear, "Xiao Huihui, I have a boyfriend, so I can't be your handsome master's girlfriend. But don't worry, we will always be good friends!"
After I finished speaking, I took Xiao Huihui's claws off my body and handed the leash in my hand to Lu Zhan.
"What did you say to it? This little guy is usually very disobedient." Lu Zhan looked at me curiously.
"This is our secret!" I patted Xiao Huihui's head and said to Lu Zhan.
