Chapter 73 Biological Father
Lu Xingchen's life was rather bumpy.
The wish buried in my heart all along is to find my biological father.
And this moment.
Just when you are about to reach the other side of success, a huge chasm suddenly appears in front of you, blocking your way.
It is so close yet so far away.
At this moment, he wished he could receive his father's sincere guidance and listen to his caring attitude.
But the person in front of me treated me as a stranger.
The most terrifying thing is that Lu Xingchen cannot be completely sure that the person lying on the hospital bed is the one he thinks about day and night.
Amnesia!
Lu Xingchen muttered to himself, repeating these three words over and over again.
Su Qing patted his shoulder gently from behind. She had never seen Lu Xingchen so depressed.
On the contrary, Lu Xinghui was deeply moved when he saw that he was so concerned about his father.
"In fact, my father often talked about you in front of me. He told me that you have a scar on your left wrist. Can you show it to me?"
Lu Xingchen stretched out his hand and turned his sleeves outward, revealing an obvious scar.
Lu Xinghui nodded, "Are you really my elder brother?"
"This scar was left by a fire when Lu Xingchen was five years old. His mother was seriously injured in the fire while trying to save him, and died after failed rescue efforts. This scar was left by that fire." Su Qing said calmly.
"I know that my father has been brooding over this matter, and he has expressed regret for abandoning himself!" Lu Xinghui said slowly, and his private affairs returned to the turbulent era in the past.
After listening to Lu Xinghui's affectionate statement, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen finally understood the long-ago events that Lu Wannian had experienced.
It turned out that Lu Wannian was carrying out a national secret mission at that time.
He needs to be isolated in a closed environment and keep it a secret from everyone, even his family.
As a result, in his son's eyes, he seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and there was no news at all.
It was the year of the fire that Lu Xingchen just mentioned, and Lu Wannian was seriously injured in a secret mission.
Although he was rescued from that injury, he was left with serious sequelae.
Because the injury was to his brain, from then on, whenever it rained or was cloudy or the weather was bad, he would have a splitting headache.
That feeling was just like when Sun Wukong was bound by the spell cast by Tang Monk. The iron-blooded man even rolled on the ground in pain.
"This is a punishment for what I did back then!" Every time Lu Wannian mentioned the mother and son in Yang City, he would always say these words without regret.
After listening to Lu Xinghui's statement, Lu Xingchen gained a new understanding of his father Lu Wannian's past.
The original resentment towards his father and the endless grievances in his heart finally found an outlet at this moment.
In fact, he also guessed that his father must have his own difficulties and would think from his own perspective. He must have a reasonable reason for abandoning mother and child.
And today.
When he learned this from Lu Xinghui, he also felt deep sympathy and compassion for his father Lu Wannian's unfortunate experience.
In fact, your father has been missing you all the time all these years.
During those years, his headaches were a torture to him. He became thinner and quite depressed.
When people are hurt, they are most vulnerable, their wills are weakest, and their hearts are least guarded.
Lying on the hospital bed, I wished my relatives would come to visit me, even though I had won commendation from my unit for my heroic behavior and outstanding deeds.
But the pain of losing the care and love of loved ones is a deep pain that is difficult for ordinary people to understand and bear.
Especially when he learned the news of your mother's death, he wanted to fly to your side immediately and go to your mother's grave to regret and feel sorry for himself.
By that time, the secret operation had been a complete success, and the state had made it public and announced it to the world in the newspaper Renmin.
Only then did my father lift his isolation and gain the precious freedom in interpersonal relationships and social activities.
However, he missed the opportunity to return to Yang Province to look for his relatives in 1966, and another ten years passed in a flash.
"Did my father write to me often in these decades?" Hearing this, Lu Xingchen suddenly asked.
After saying that, he turned around and took out the stack of letters from Su Qing's backpack.
Lu Xinghui took the letter and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is my father's note. The address on the envelope is exactly where he worked after his career change."
At this point, the biggest doubt in Lu Xingchen's heart was finally resolved.
Lu Xinghui's nod of affirmation completely proved everything.
Yes, the patient in front of him was his biological father!
Lu Xingchen made the final conclusion!
Su Qing also expressed her relief for Lu Xingchen with this result.
All the hard work and efforts over this period of time have finally paid off. In addition to being relieved, I am even more happy for him.
She also saw from Lu Xingchen's brows that the clouds of worry had lifted, as if the sky was bright after the rain.
Later, Lu Xinghui also told the story between his mother and Lu Wannian.
Lu Xinghui's mother, Mai Qiongying, is a nurse. It was during the time when Lu Wannian was injured and hospitalized that the two developed a liking for each other during their contact in the hospital and gradually fell in love.
Lu Wannian's postoperative headache symptoms improved under her careful care.
In the sixth year after the death of Lu Xingchen's mother Zhu Fengzhen, Lu Wannian and Mai Qiongying ended their long-term relationship and finally got together.
It was also in that year that Lu Xinghui was born. From then on, Lu Wannian finally found the heavy fatherly love that he was supposed to have from Lu Xinghui.
Lu Xingchen sat there and listened quietly to Lu Wannian's past stories. Hearing that Lu Wannian had lived a good life over the years, he was happy for him.
"Then why is he in the hospital this time and his condition is so serious that he needs surgery?" Su Qing asked puzzledly.
"My dad had a stroke and there was no one to take care of him at the time. When he fell, his head hit the armrest of the hard wooden chair at home. Fortunately, he was found in time, otherwise the consequences would be serious."
It's no wonder that the patients we have been seeing in the hospital beds have stiff limbs and their behavior and demeanor are obviously different from those of ordinary people, especially the left side of the body and the left face.
"Stroke? It's okay now, right? What did the doctor say?" I was anxious. I didn't expect that in addition to amnesia, my father also had such a disease.
"He had a serious head injury at the time, and the doctor performed a craniotomy, which was very successful. On the way to the hospital, he couldn't even speak, as you saw. He was just talking to you. I think he will recover slowly." Lu Xinghui felt that the two people in front of him were very concerned about his father's condition, so there was nothing to hide about his condition.
"Excuse me, who are these two?" While they were chatting, a man walked in at some point and asked the two strangers before he even stood still.
