Chapter 426: Visiting the Sick
When Borisova and Lobachev walked into the ward together, they saw Rokossovsky lying on the hospital bed, with an oxygen tube in his nostrils and an infusion tube in his right hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing Rokossovsky's eyes closed, as if he was sleeping quietly, Borisova's heart was like a knife, and tears continued to flow down her cheeks like beads of broken threads. She covered her mouth with her fist, trying to keep herself from crying so as not to disturb Rokossovsky's rest.
The nurse sitting on the side saw a man and a woman walking into the ward, and quickly stood up and asked politely: "Comrade commander, who are you and is there anything to do here?" ā
"Hello, Comrade Nurse!" Lobachev stepped forward and took the nurse's hand, shook it lightly twice, and then said: "My name is Lobachev, I am General Rokossovsky's deputy, and I came to see him specifically from the front. How's he doing? ā
In the past few days, there have been many people who have come to visit Rokossovsky, both commanders in the army and local leaders, and they are not of low rank, so in the face of Lobachev's inquiry, the nurse, who had long been surprised, said with the usual expression: "The operation was very successful and is currently recovering!" ā
Lobachev thought that Rokossovsky was injured in the back, and specifically asked: "There will be no sequelae, right?" ā
"Probably not," the nurse said, shaking her head, "it was the dean himself who performed the operation on the general, and he is the most skilled surgeon in our hospital. After speaking, she also glanced at Borisova, who was crying and never saying a word, and thought to herself: Who is this woman, why has she not said a word since she entered the door, but looking at the situation, she seems to have an unusual relationship with the general on the hospital bed, maybe it is his wife.
Lobachev walked to the infusion stand, looked at the bottle hanging on it, and asked curiously: "Comrade nurse, what did you give him?" ā
"It's dimethylsulfonamides," said the nurse, standing proudly behind Lobachev, "this is the best anti-inflammatory drug in our country at the moment, which prevents the wounds of the wounded from developing postoperative infections." ā
Rokossovsky, who was asleep, heard someone talking at the bedside and tried to open it to see who it was. When I opened my eyes, everything in front of me was blurry, but soon the blurred vision became clear. When he saw clearly that the person standing by the bed and talking to the nurse was his military commissar Lobachev, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
He wanted to say hello to his partner, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the wound was touched, and the sudden sharp pain made him snort softly. Although the voice was soft, both Lobachev and the nurse heard it. The nurse hurriedly bent down, looked at Rokossovsky and asked with concern: "Comrade General, is there anything wrong with you?" ā
Rokossovsky squeezed a smile on his face that was harder than crying, shook his head slightly, and then looked at Lobachev, who was standing next to the bed.
"Comrade Commander," Lobachev hurriedly squatted down, held Rokossovsky's right hand, and said emotionally: "I came to see you on behalf of the comrades of the command, we all miss you very much, I hope you will recover soon." ā
Before Rokossovsky could speak, he suddenly felt someone holding his left hand, gently rubbing the back of his hand with a smooth and soft hand, and after a while, he felt a trace of heat in his left hand, which had become cold from the long infusion. He turned his head with difficulty, trying to see who was massaging the back of his hand, but was surprised to see a familiar face.
Borisova, who was squatting beside the bed, saw Rokossovsky looking at her with affection, and her nose couldn't help but sour. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and would cry in public, so she quickly covered her nose and mouth with her hands.
Seeing this, Lobachev let go of Rokossovsky's hand, got up and said to the nurse who was standing aside in a daze: "Comrade nurse, let's go out and let them be alone for a while." ā
Although the nurse did not know what the relationship between Rokossovsky and Borisova was, when she saw that the commander who came to visit the patient said so, she agreed, followed Lobachev out of the ward, and closed the door casually.
"You... What are you doing here? When only himself and Borisova were left in the room, Rokossovsky asked with difficulty: "I... Mine this... This look, is... Isn't it... Scary? ā
Borisova took Rokossovsky's hand with both hands, pressed it tightly to her face, and said with a cry: "I was scared to death, when I heard that you were wounded, my soul was scared away." ā
To make Borisova less nervous, Rokossovsky squeezed a smile on her face: "Don't worry, I... I'm fine, you... You see, I... I don't... Isn't it good? ā
"Where's the injury?" Although on the way here, Lobachev had told Borisova about Rokossovsky's injury, but because she was in a state of mind at the time, she did not hear what the other party was saying at all. At this moment, seeing the living Rokossovsky lying in front of her, she finally came to her senses. She reached out and grabbed the quilt, ready to lift it to see Rokossovsky's injuries: "Let me see where you are injured?" ā
Rokossovsky grabbed her hand, a simple action that almost exhausted all his strength, and at the same time involved the wound, making him grin in pain.
"Koschika, are you alright?" Seeing Rokossovsky's expression of pain, Borisova gave up her intention to look at his wound, but asked with concern: "Is the wound painful?" ā
Although the wound hurt terribly, Rokossovsky still held her soft with both hands and said with a forced smile: "Borisova, as long as you are in front of me, even if I bear a serious injury, I will not feel the slightest pain, you are my best painkiller." ā
Rokossovsky's words suddenly made Borisova's face flush with shame, she twisted her face to the side, and whispered: "Big villain, you are not honest when you are injured."
Just as Rokossovsky was about to say a few more words of love to Borisova, the door was slammed open, and Lobachev broke in from the outside and said to the two of them: "Sorry to disturb you." But Comrade Borisova must leave here immediately. ā
Seeing that both of them were looking at him with puzzled expressions, Lobachev added: "I just saw Comrade Boskrebeshev enter the building, I guess he came to visit Rokossovsky, if he had seen Borisova, things would have been in trouble." ā
