Time passed strangely slow at this time. Every moment and second, there seemed to be a naughty child holding the world’s clock in their hand, refusing to let time move ahead. It was unclear how much time passed but the light in the operating room suddenly dimmed.
Wei Jing suddenly jumped down from the bed and ran to the operating room quickly. Because he was overly anxious, he almost slipped and fell.
“Doctor, is my big brother okay? How is he?” Right now, his voice didn’t seem childish and naive like a child. His voice seemed overly sharp as though resentful because he ran too quickly. Even more, it seemed bitter and stern.
Traces of blood got on the doctor’s lab coat when he was performing the surgery. It was bright and piercing. He took off his mask to reveal a tired expression. “The surgery is very successful. The patient is out of danger for now. We’re going to transfer him to the ICU now.”
That’s great. Big brother is okay. Wei Jing’s expression just relaxed when he froze after hearing the doctor’s words.
“But the patient’s heart had stopped beating for a minute or two back then. Although we recovered his heartbeat, it caused a definite damage to his head. Please be mentally prepared in the future. After all…there are a lot of places in the brain that we just have no idea about.”
“What do you mean?! Explain it clearly!”
The doctor looked up to see the man behind the child. He took in a deep breath before saying, “I’m saying that the patient may never wake up. Even if he luckily wakes up, his IQ is damaged.”
The doctor said this tactfully, but who of the three present didn’t understand the words?
“No! This is impossible.” Wei Jing walked ahead. He was short, so he could only tug on the doctor’s lab coat firmly. He said in a sobbing tone, “My big brother is amazing. He will become a very awesome person in the future. How could…could his IQ be damaged?”
“Sorry.”
Doctors had experienced many families mourning firsthanded. He was already numb. Besides this, he really didn’t know what to say.
“Is it possible to perform a surgery without operating on him?” Compared to Wei Jing who nearly fell apart, Wei He was a calm and ruthless father.
The doctor gradually shook his head.
“Wahhh! It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. If only I didn’t come here. If only I didn’t change. It’s all my fault…” The child kneeled on the ground, limp. His delicate hands supported himself up. Bitter tears dropped on the cold ground. He was muttering words that others couldn’t understand in a hoarse voice.
Wei Jing was small and curled up into a ball, making others pity him. The doctors sighed and carried the child, placing him on the chair. After shoving him a packet of napkins, he left.
Everyone had their own lives. There was nothing they could do.
Wei He glanced strangely at the child. He didn’t know when the two had such a good relationship.
“I heard Old Zhang talk to me about this before. It was because you wanted to buy something that Wei Zhe had gotten into a car accident, if I remember correctly, right?” Wei He slowly said this. Despite hearing that his son may become a human vegetable and a retard, he was only ill at ease for a moment before he quickly processed this and wanted to maximize the benefits from the situation.
Wei Jing raised his head, half understanding. His originally bright and black eyes were now pitch-black and empty.
Tst. Wei He felt his blood running cold when he saw Wei Jing’s gaze. He subconsciously took a step back. After he calmed down, he continued, “No one lives in the Wei Family’s residence anymore. Move back to your mother’s place. I will give you living expenses monthly until you’re an adult.”
Though Wei He said that, who knew if his words were true? When Wei Jing vanished completely from everyone’s memory, Wei He could do anything he wanted.
“What do you mean?”
“Exactly what I said.” Wei He revealed a face of disdain. He said peculiarly, “The Wei Family’s assets aren’t something you should covet.”
“You’re going to abandon big brother? Big brother…has always been outstanding and he will continue to be outstanding, and become a very good heir.” Wei Jing jumped down from his seat. He accidentally bumped his injured arm against the wall, but he couldn’t feel any pain. He glared at Wei He and said, “nothing is set yet. You can’t do this.”
There’s no one in the Wei Family’s residence. Wasn’t this his way of saying that he was going to…abandon Wei Zhe?
“Childish.” Wei He snorted. “You think that there are miracles?”
Miracles are invisible and untouchable. Instead of placing hope on miracles, he might as well consider abandoning Wei Zhe for now and then think about the next heir he should train.
Of course, he would also pay attention to Wei Zhe’s situation, so that he could make the best decision.
It was unclear how many times people walked back and forth around them. Wei Jing told himself that he couldn’t cry or be weak. No matter what happened to his big brother, he was still his younger brother. He was the most important big brother to him.
No matter what, he needed to take care of his big brother.
Therefore, how could he be sent away?
He didn’t need to shed these weak tears anymore. He must use his bargaining chip to negotiate with Wei He, so that he could stay by his big brother’s side.
