Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Old Nie was in a critical condition.

He was now lying in the ICU, unable to leave the ICU. He was very weak right now. Even if Old Wang and the others wanted to go in and visit him, they were only given ten minutes.

Even the number of times they could go in was limited.

Old Wang leaned his face against the glass window and looked worriedly at Old Nie who was lying on the bed. At that moment, Old Nie’s face was pale and he was very weak.

Early the next morning, Old Wang’s wife brought him fresh chicken soup. Old Nie drank the chicken soup in a daze.

His eyes were tightly shut, and his brows would furrow from time to time. It seemed that he had entered a dream.

As for Nie Xing, Old Wang had completely given up. This kid had no conscience. He had zero expectations of him to come and visit Old Nie. Old Wang was prepared to take full responsibility for everything after that!

Little Wang was very worried about his father’s condition. Since last night, Old Wang had not been doing well.

“Dad, you go back and rest. I’m keeping an eye on Uncle Nie!”

“I’ll keep an eye on him. Don’t worry!”

Old Wang shook his head and refused to leave.

Upon seeing his father’s determination, Little Wang sighed.

“Dad, I know you’re worried about Uncle Nie, but you have to take good care of your body. To put it bluntly…”

“I won’t say anything nice, so shut up.”

Old Wang cut him off mercilessly.

Little Wang’s mouth twitched as he nodded.

“Hey!”

The two of them stood guard outside the ward. Old Wang sat in the corridor wearily. Little Wang would occasionally bring him some water to drink and buy some food to fill his stomach.

However, Old Wang was not in a good mood. His condition had always been very bad.

It could be seen that he was really sad for Old Nie.

Through the isolation glass, he looked at Old Nie who was lying on the hospital bed. There was a relatively obvious burn wound on Old Nie’s right arm. When Old Wang’s gaze moved to the wound, his eyes stopped.

On his wrinkled face, there was an imperceptible glistening crystal from the corner of his eyes that quietly flowed out.

When the factory had not closed down, he and Old Nie were colleagues in the same workshop. At that time, Old Wang, who had graduated from junior high school, looked down on other workers in the same workshop. Even the kind and honest Old Nie… was also among the people he looked down on.

Because he always felt that there was nothing to communicate with these illiterate workers. They were all illiterate people who couldn’t read a word. If you said something, they would say something else.

According to Old Wang’s own words at that time, it had been a different outlook on life.

At that time, the concept of fire control in the factory was next to non-existent. In winter, the weather was very dry. If one was not careful, the fire would rise!

One noon, Old Wang took a nap in the workshop and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he was scared silly. The entire workshop had been engulfed in a sea of fire. He stared at the sea of fire that was raging fiercely around him!

The waves of fire were rolling, mixed with the pungent smoke and dust in the entire workshop. It was so smelly that people could not open their eyes. The surrounding flames seemed to be roasting everything in the workshop. Their skin and flesh felt like they were about to be burnt.

He desperately shouted for help, but he could not open his mouth any more because of the smoke. He covered his mouth and nose, trying to rush out, but he found that he could not rush out of the fierce sea of fire!

There were many people outside the workshop, but in the face of such a fierce fire, they could only anxiously look for water.

No one dared to rush in to save Old Wang.

Except for Old Nie!

He heard that someone in the workshop was asking for help, so without saying anything, he directly took a bucket of water and threw it on himself!

Then, under everyone’s shocked eyes, he resolutely rushed into the sea of fire!

Old Wang couldn’t open his eyes because of the fire. The desperate suffocation was about to envelop him, but he suddenly felt that someone rushed in through the Sea of fire, then pulled him and rushed out explosively! The fire was very big. Old Wang was lucky and was saved.

However, Old Nie’s hand was left with a permanent burn wound!

Old Wang had always been grateful for this, but Old Nie always downplayed it. He felt that anyone would have done the same. A wound in exchange for a life. It was worth it!

Old Wang didn’t say anything, but from then on, Old Nie had become a different person in his heart.

He was different from the other workers.

He was just another man, but more than most men.

In less than two years, Old Nie, who had some savings, began to prepare for a blind date and marriage. The factory director personally introduced a girl to him, and the two got along well. When the date of the engagement was approaching and things were about to be settled… one night, Old Nie picked up that adopted son out of nowhere!

From then on, Old Nie’s life became more and more difficult. Even that girl was unwilling to follow him because of this matter.

After all, he had to raise this child he picked up.

Everyone was persuading him to give up on this child. Not to mention that his situation was not good. Even if he raised him, that child might not necessarily be filial to him! What if he wanted to find his biological parents? What would he do?

Old Nie was very stubborn and had refused to listen, so he raised Nie Xing just like that.

Old Wang understood that he was such a person, and no one could say it would work.

Back then, there were so many people outside the workshop watching him fall into a sea of fire without helping him. Only he, despite everyone’s dissuasion, directly jumped into the fire pit! If Old Nie had been any less certain about the matter of the child, he might not have had the life he had now.

Now, he felt that Old Nie had raised an unfilial boy.

…

On the train to Qingyang County, Nie Xing frowned. He sat on the train and was somewhat anxious.

There was a visible dimness around his eyelids. He was very sleepy, but he could not sleep.

Once he closed his eyes, the scene of his father lying on the hospital bed calling his name was in his mind.

It was terrifying!

He only wanted to return to his father’s side as soon as possible. No matter what, he had to see his father one last time!

The train sped up on the railway track,

it carried everyone’s hopes and expectations, as well as anxiety.

…

At the same time,

Old Nie, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly convulsed, and the alarm apparatus suddenly went off!

“Not good, the patient is starting to convulse!”

“Push him into the operating room!”

“Call the attending doctor!”

A few nurses and doctors rushed over and said loudly with anxious expressions. Then, they directly pushed Old Nie’s hospital bed into the ward!

Old Wang followed outside the ward worriedly. He was very nervous.

Soon, the attending doctor rushed into the operating theater.

The emergency work began.

Old Wang’s heart was about to jump out of his throat. His breathing also became tight. He shouted loudly outside the ward,

“Are these doctors doing their jobs? Why did they send Old Nie into the operating theater again?”

“Dad, don’t be anxious!”

Little Wang quickly tried to dissuade him. They could not shout in the hospital!

At this moment, a group of doctors and specialists in white coats suddenly appeared in the corridor. Their expressions were solemn, and there was even the director accompanying them personally.

When they came to the side of the nurses’ station, the director anxiously ordered the nurse on duty.

“Help me check which floor is Nie Yugang, Old Nie’s ward!”

“Director, that Old Nie has just been sent to the operating room!”

The young nurse hurriedly began to check the records. An elderly head nurse hurriedly came forward to report the situation.

As soon as she finished speaking.., the expressions of the few experts present changed….
