Through the blurred mobile phone screen, she confirmed that it was a strange mobile phone number, not Qin Songmu's. This made her feel relieved because she thought that if the operation failed, it should be Qin Songmu who notified her.

She calmed her emotions before answering the phone: "Hey?"

A young man's voice came from his phone: "Hey, are you Ms. Chen?"

When Chen Lijuan heard this, she felt incredible. How could a stranger know her mobile phone number? Because as a leading cadre, her mobile phone number is absolutely confidential to the outside world.

She asked alertly: "Who are you?"

"I am the owner of the 'Good Luck Cake Shop'. Is it your birthday today?"

Chen Lijuan's heart moved: "Yes, how did you know?"

"Someone has booked a birthday cake for you very early and left your name and contact information, but there is no specific address. Because I have been doing it for too long, I have to call to verify it first. Since the situation is true, we will start making it immediately and will deliver it to you around 3 pm. Will you come here to pick it up in person, or will you leave an address and deliver it to us?"

Chen Lijuan was almost unbelievable after hearing the other party's words, but she had to believe it because the other party had no reason to deceive herself. She wanted to go back to the absolute party, but she couldn't help but curiosity, and she also needed a little bit of mood to adjust the dull atmosphere in front of her.

"Please send it here. My address is Building 6, the Municipal Party Committee Family Courtyard. When you get downstairs, call me first."

"Ah, I know that you can enter there at will?"

"Don't worry, I will say hello to the guard in advance."

"Okay, please wait for me at home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon."

After Chen Lijuan finished talking to the man, she used the landline at home to contact the doorman.

While she was waiting for her birthday cake, she began to guess - who booked her birthday cake? Will the other party show up?

After all, there are not many people who know their birthday. Are they colleagues in the city? Then they wouldn’t book a birthday cake for themselves many days in advance. Besides, it doesn’t make sense. Apart from my husband and family, even my son doesn’t know about my birthday. Is it difficult for him?

She suddenly thought of Qin Songmu, because the birthday cake was booked several days in advance. He must have loved him at that time. It would be impossible to book a birthday cake for himself on a whim to give him a surprise. But did he tell him his birthday?

Chen Lijuan was in a state of great confusion. Since no one admitted to giving her birthday cake, she would just act like God knowing that her birthday was very lonely today, so she gave her a birthday cake to comfort her injured and lonely heart.

She finally waited for the moment when the birthday cake was delivered at 3:00 pm. She didn't want a strange man to enter her home, even if it was dangerous to receive the birthday cake outside the door. After all, she was a weak woman. So when the phone called, she provided the other party with a specific unit door, and she went downstairs to pick it up in person.

What she didn't expect was that the man took a huge birthday cake from a van marked "Good Luck". It was 16 inches and it was definitely expensive.

When the man saw that she was such a beautiful woman, his eyes lit up: "Happy birthday to the beautiful girl!"

When Chen Lijuan saw that the other party did not recognize her identity, she happily accepted the other party's name: "Thank you."

When she stretched out her hands to hold the outer box of the huge birthday cake, she was stunned. It turned out that there was an envelope on the cake box, but it was facing down and tied with the red ribbon tied to the cake box.

When the man saw her surprised eyes, he smiled and explained: "This is the letter left to you by the person who ordered the cake and specifically told me to do so."

Chen Lijuan said "Oh" and then realized that the letter must have information about the person who booked a birthday cake, and even confessed to her.

Her heart was pounding, and she was full of curiosity and anxiety about the mysterious man. Could it be that he was his suitor?

When she returned home with the big cake, she couldn't help but feel breathless. Although the cake was not heavy, it took too much space and was afraid of squeezing, which really took her some effort.

She put the cake on the coffee table in the living room, unbuttoned the red ribbon, and took off the letter.

At this time, the front of the letter had already appeared in front of her, and another string of familiar small words - Lijuan, opened it personally.

Could it be him?

Chen Lijuan's heart was suddenly confused. After careful consideration, she immediately thought it was very likely. After all, the cake shop owner said that the birthday cake had been booked for a long time, maybe before something happened to him.

Chen Lijuan's eyes suddenly became wet. She did not open the letter, but opened the cake box - a double-layer fruit cake was presented in front of her.

Chen Lijuan had never used such a big cake before, and she was so excited that she almost suffocated.

She took a deep breath, then tore the envelope with her hands and pulled the letter out of it.

When she opened the letter and looked at it, the familiar handwriting inside appeared in her eyes again-

"Dear Lijuan, when you see this letter, there will be a big cake in front of you. Maybe I am by your side and celebrating your birthday with you. Maybe I am the same as last time you celebrated your birthday, and I am so busy that I forgot your birthday. In order to make up for the regret of my neglect of your birthday last time, I decided to book this box of big cakes for you in advance and entrust the cake shop to deliver it in time on your birthday. Only in this way, even if I am so busy and neglected you, there will be no regrets. When I ordered this box of cakes, it was a few days before you last celebrated your birthday. I feel very regretful for missing your birthday last time. Although you understand me and encourage me to say that as a leading cadre, I should forget my own personal gains due to business. But I cannot forgive myself, because your happiness is more important to me than anything. We have been a couple for more than ten years.

, You have deeply influenced me and made me understand the principle of being an official, that is, to operate the relationship in the officialdom less and to do some practical things for the people. I also understand how to reflect my survival value, that is, to work diligently for the Party and the people. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that I can remember this on your birthday today. However, I booked your birthday cake almost a year in advance, which may break the record of the longest time to book a birthday cake in the world. Through this action, it is to show that no matter what I am busy with, my heart will always be with you. If at this moment, I cannot return to you in time, then I will wish you a happy birthday in this letter and hope that you will call me immediately to remind me. I will strive to get by your side as soon as possible. Jianbing, who will always love you."

While reading the letter, Chen Lijuan's hands kept trembling, as if the words were constantly jumping, highlighting her husband's voice, appearance, and gradually blurred.

Chen Lijuan's hand holding the letter weakly lowered it, and looked at the birthday cake with tears in her eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

At this moment, she could finally prove how much her husband loved her. But she was still misunderstanding him and even ignored his life and death. She was moved and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

She finally couldn't help but cover her face and burst into tears, venting her depression for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but her emotions gradually calmed down, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind that she should be with him now.

Slowly she recalled that her husband was currently under the test of life and death on the operating table of the first hospital of the city. Maybe she would never see him again.

Time is urgent, and Chen Lijuan immediately called: "Xiao Wang, drive the car over quickly. I'm going to the hospital to see my husband!"

When Chen Lijuan appeared in the long corridor leading to the operating room, her whole heart hanged. She regretted not listening to Qin Songmu's advice and communicated with her husband before the operation. Could this be her lifelong regret?

Jianbing, you have to hold on! Never leave me behind! As long as you can still breathe, even if you can never wake up, I will be by your side happily for the rest of my life!!

She kept cheering for her husband secretly and at the same time cheering herself up.

When she turned a corner in the corridor, the two operating rooms doors were less than twenty meters away from her. At this time, Qin Duoduo and Li Dong were sitting uneasy on the bench outside the operating room door, looking up at the indicator light on the operating room door.

Chen Lijuan was extremely nervous at this time. She did not get close to the siblings, but stood still. She was worried that her son and Duoduo would hear her rapid breathing and nervous heartbeat.

When Qin Duoduo and Li Dong saw that she was coming and stood at the corner of more than 20 meters, they were all surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.

Qin Duoduo was about to greet her, but heard the sound of the operating room opening, so he focused his eyes there again.

The door of the operating room slowly opened-

A tall man walked out of it. While walking, he took off the hat on his head and mask on his face and showed his original appearance. He was obviously so tired that he needed to breathe the fresh air outside.

Qin Duoduo's eyes lit up immediately: "Dad!"

The man who came out was Qin Songmu. At this time, Qin Songmu had no time to care about his daughter, but his eyes were connected with Chen Lijuan who was standing a little further away.

Although Chen Lijuan was eager to know the result of the operation, she was too nervous to take a step or even unable to speak. All she could do now was to give Qin Songmu a question and pray.

Qin Songmu stared at her eyes and understood everything from her eyes. He did not speak, but returned a happy smile to her.

Chen Lijuan suddenly knew the answer, and finally felt relieved, and shed tears of excitement.

Three months later.

It was a cool morning in autumn, with a bright sun hanging over the rehabilitation ward. At this time, many medical staff in white were gathered outside the building. Among them were Zhang Dayu, the attending physician of ward one, Yang Gan, the second ward, Li Chunyu, the new attending physician of ward three, Zhang Shaochong, the fourth ward, Zhao Tong, the fifth ward, Han Qingyuan, the sixth ward, and other medical staff of ward six. Of course, these also include Qin Yingying and Zhao Shuang. They seemed to be welcoming a VIP-level figure.

After a while, everyone's eyes focused on one place.

It turned out that Dean Xing, a doctor from the tumor center, was leading a beautiful woman to the direction of the outpatient building in front. The route they took was the same as Dean Xing who had just come to report on Qin Songmu.

The woman's age is hard to say that she is over thirty, but she is already thirty-seven. She was wearing a light blue windbreaker and jacket, and she reached her knees. The one exposed below was a circle of crimson purple skirt. The flesh-colored high socks connected to the high boots on her feet. Looking at her appearance, her skin was better than snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. She turned on everyone's face a few times, as if it was like a pearl, the beautiful jade was fluorescent, and there was an elegant temperament between her eyebrows and eyes.

The welcome team suddenly burst into thunderous applause: "Welcome Xiaowan home!"

This woman is Fang Xiaowan. After careful treatment and strong rehabilitation training, she has completely recovered.

At this time, she waved to everyone with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, Xiaowan misses you so much!"

President Xing smiled and said with a smile: "Comrades, Fang Xiaowan has now become the new director of our rehabilitation ward. Please welcome him with warm applause again!"

After the grand welcome ceremony, Fang Xiaowan advised her colleagues to take their place. She herself had to walk around the ward she once knew. Of course, she also walked into the ward third where she had worked.

When she inspected the ward where the old man had lived, she couldn't help but wet her eyes, then pushed the door open and entered-

An old woman lying on the hospital bed was taking oxygen, accompanying a middle-aged man next to her.

"Who are you looking for?"

The patient's family saw that Fang Xiaowan's face was very strange and she was not wearing a doctor's white coat, so they asked curiously.

Fang Xiaowan smiled and said, "I am the new director of our ward. I come here to see this aunt."

When she walked out of this familiar ward, she transferred to some other sub-wards and some wards, and then walked towards the director's office on the fourth floor with her tired legs.

During the inspection, she never met a familiar patient or family member again. However, she believed that she would soon become familiar with these strange patients and even become acquainted with each other.

When she entered the office she had visited, scenes of interacting with Qin Songmu here came to her eyes again. Tears of happiness flashed in her big eyes.

Twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist

Just then, the office door was knocked.

Fang Xiaowan quickly sat in the position she should do and said aloud: "Please come in!"

The door was immediately pushed open. Zhao Shuang walked in with a bag.

"So it's Shuang'er, come and sit down!"

At her gesture, Zhao Shuang sat on the chair in front of the desk, first with an apology: "Sister Xiaowan, I'm really sorry... Chunlai and I have joined forces to deceive you for so long."

Fang Xiaowan couldn't help but laugh and burst into tears: "Don't be upset about this matter. If it weren't for your kind deception and keeping my confidence, I might not be able to stand up now. I should thank you for being."

At this time, Zhao Shuang put the bag in his hand on the desk and said in a low voice: "This is the relics of Uncle Feng. He once told me that you gave the laptop to him. He not only wanted the original owner to return the goods, but also accompanied the works he had worked hard to create for more than a year. All of this was inherited by you.

When Fang Xiaowan heard this, tears of sadness burst out again, and she slowly took out the laptop in her bag with her trembling hands.

When she turned on the computer, she quickly entered the page of the old man's work—

When she looked at the outline of the work and the story introduction, she really described the story in the ward. She herself is the protagonist in this work and has become a main line of the entire work, running through other characters in the work, including many patients and medical staff. She immediately looked back at the past events in her mind, unable to help but feel infinitely sad. At this time, her eyes once again glanced at the title of the work - "Death Ward".

"Sister Xiaowan, please look down and see Uncle Feng's final comments?"
