Chapter 558 Secretary Dong gets better
"What's even more terrible is that if this medicine has any side effects and Secretary Dong gets sick, we will become criminals. How can we be worthy of Secretary Dong and the villagers?"
Wang Jianguo felt uncomfortable seeing Zhao Shuzhuo so worried. He knew very well that his best friend was asking so many questions out of concern for Secretary Dong, but he couldn't tell him the secret of the space at the moment.
In desperation, Wang Jianguo walked forward and gently patted Zhao Shuzhuo on the shoulder, trying to convey some soothing power through this action to calm him down.
"Brother Shuzhuo, don't worry so much. Since I dare to take out this medicine, I must have a good idea."
Wang Jianguo narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling some warm memories, and said in a calm and convincing tone:
"Actually, there are two pills of this medicine. My grandma was not feeling well before and had a heartache. She went to see doctors and medicines everywhere but none of them worked. I happened to have this medicine on hand, so I gave it a try and gave it to grandma."
Wang Jianguo paused, observed Zhao Shuzhuo's expression, and seeing that he was listening attentively, he continued:
"Guess what? Not long after grandma ate it, the pain in her chest stopped and her whole spirit became better. Her condition improved significantly."
"Since then, I knew that this medicine must be effective and it was not just nonsense from that quack doctor."
Wang Jianguo sighed softly and continued to comfort him:
"Besides, even if this medicine is not suitable for Secretary Dong's condition, I have also asked the doctor about it. This medicine is mild in nature and will not harm the body. At most, it will have no effect. It will not cause any additional harm to Secretary Dong. Don't worry."
Wang Jianguo's eyes were full of sincerity. He stared at Zhao Shuzhuo's eyes closely, as if swearing to him that every word he said was true.
Zhao Shuzhuo listened to Wang Jianguo's explanation, lowered his head slightly, and thought about his words carefully.
After a while, he slowly raised his head, the doubts on his face gradually dissipated, although there was still a trace of worry in his eyes, but his tone had obviously eased, and he said:
"I hope so. It would be great if this medicine could really help Secretary Dong cure his illness."
Seeing that Zhao Shuzhuo finally put his mind at ease, Wang Jianguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew in his heart that the storm about the mysterious elixir had only subsided temporarily.
The subsequent development of Secretary Dong's condition and the doubts that Zhao Shuzhuo might raise again at any time were like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, forcing him to not slack off and to pay close attention at all times.
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo stood side by side in the corridor outside the hospital ward. The clock on the wall ticked, and every tick struck their hearts hard.
The two of them stared at the door of the ward, their eyes full of concern and expectation. Time seemed to slow down in this quiet atmosphere, and every passing second seemed to be testing their patience.
Wang Jianguo's hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched. He frowned slightly, and from time to time he looked up at the closed door of the ward, muttering softly:
"I don't know what's going on with Secretary Dong. The operation has been completed for quite some time, but there is still no movement."
Zhao Shuzhuo gently patted Wang Jianguo on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't worry too much. Secretary Dong is a lucky man. Everything will be fine."
However, he could not hide the worry in his own eyes.
Just as they waited anxiously in the corridor for a while, suddenly, a familiar but faint cry came from the ward.
"It's Grandma Dong's voice!"
Wang Jianguo's eyes widened instantly, and he seemed to be injected with strength. Zhao Shuzhuo also reacted immediately, and the two looked at each other, and without saying anything more, they quickly walked towards the ward.
As soon as they opened the door, they saw a scene that surprised and nervous them. They saw Grandma Dong holding Secretary Dong tightly with both hands.
Secretary Dong had actually already gone to the field! His face was filled with excitement and excitement, and his pale face was slightly flushed because of this excitement.
When Secretary Dong saw Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo coming in, his eyes lit up instantly and he was extremely happy. He waved his arms excitedly, his voice trembling with excitement:
"Jianguo, Shuzhuo, look, look, I can get out of bed!"
Having said that, he couldn't wait to take a step forward, as if he wanted to prove with actions that he was really getting better.
However, his body had obviously not fully recovered yet, and he staggered a little. His body suddenly tilted forward, and he was about to fall to the ground. Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo were quick and rushed over almost at the same time.
Wang Jianguo quickly stretched out his right hand and firmly supported Secretary Dong's left arm, while Zhao Shuzhuo held Secretary Dong's right side tightly with both hands.
The two of them worked together and carefully helped Secretary Dong back to the bed.
"Secretary Dong, please don't be too anxious. You just had surgery and your body hasn't recovered yet."
Wang Jianguo panted and said with concern. Grandma Dong also scolded:
"You are just too anxious. The doctor told you to have a good rest, but you didn't listen."
Secretary Dong was lying on the bed. Although he was a little embarrassed, his smile was still bright:
"I'm just so happy. I feel like I'm getting better all of a sudden, so I want to go for a walk and try it out."
The atmosphere in the ward became both tense and warm because of this little episode.
Zhao Shuzhuo stood beside the bed, his hair on his forehead a little messy due to the panic just now, his chest was still heaving slightly, and he was breathing heavily.
At that moment, my mind and eyes were filled with the thrilling scene of Secretary Dong almost falling. My brain was blank, and all my attention was focused on how to support Secretary Dong in time and ensure his safety. I had no time to think about anything else.
Now that he had recovered a little, he was surprised to find that the way Secretary Dong spoke was very different from before.
The voice was clear and powerful, and the words were coherent. There was no more weakness and ambiguity as before, and every syllable fell firmly into everyone's ears.
Zhao Shuzhuo's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and surprise instantly surged into his heart. He couldn't help but grin, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said happily:
"Secretary Dong, it's great that you can speak now! You don't know how worried we were when you were unconscious. Now that we hear your loud voice, we feel relieved."
