Xilin Hospital is located in the Dongcheng District of S City. It is a designated hospital for national athletes’ medical services. It is the nearest large general hospital to Clear Water Bay. Xia Mengying was born in this hospital. Fang Jingyi met her elementary school classmate while she was hospitalized.
Zhang Hui, a fellow countryman, is Fang Jingyi’s current doctor. Fang Jingyi is not in good health and often goes to the hospital. Over time, the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better. Zhang Hui went to Xia’s house several times, so Xia Meng
I also know Ying and feel reassured about her.
The next morning, Fang Jingyi woke up early. Ning Ziqian said when he left the hospital last night that he would come back today. Xia Mengying wanted to wait until he came to the hospital to thank him in person before leaving, but Fang Jingyi did not.
Not wanting to stay in Qingtong Hospital for a second, Xia Mengying left her phone number to the nurses at the hospital and asked them to give it to Ning Ziqian. After hurriedly completing the discharge procedures, the two of them went to the hospital entrance and took a taxi directly to Xilin Hospital.
, while in the car, Xia Mengying called Zhang Hui again.
Zhang Hui is quite famous in Xilin Hospital. She can't see all the people who call her every day even if she doesn't eat or drink for 24 hours. Every time Fang Jingyi went there before, she would call and make an appointment one day in advance.
Qingtong Hospital is located in Xicheng District of S City, which is far away from Xilin Hospital. If you take a taxi, it will take almost two hours even if there is no traffic jam.
It was already after ten o'clock when the two of them arrived at the hospital. At this time, it was the time when there were the most people in the hospital. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a crowd of people sitting or standing in the lobby.
, noisy.
Xia Mengying lowered her head and looked at the time. It was 10:15, which was still fifteen minutes away from the time she agreed with Zhang Hui in the car. Xia Mengying supported Fang Jingyi and did not stop in the lobby, but took the elevator directly.
Arrived on the twelfth floor.
There were many people sitting in the corridor, probably all waiting in line. They all sat silently, making it much quieter than in the lobby.
"Mrs. Xia, Miss Xia, you are here."
As soon as Xia Mengying and Fang Jingyi got out of the elevator, Zhang Hui's assistant doctor Wang Lin saw them and came over to say hello to them.
"Aunt Zhang is busy?"
"Yes, there are more than a dozen people who signed up for Dr. Zhang today. They were divided into morning and afternoon batches. Two people from the morning batch are still sitting there. It's probably too late now. I'll let them go back first."
Wang Lin pointed at the two people sitting against the wall behind her and whispered.
"It's okay. Let Aunt Zhang show them first. We'll go in later."
Xia Mengying looked at the two people. They looked like they were in their fifties. Their hair was white and their faces were not good-looking. They came to the hospital to see a doctor and there was no one to take care of them. They looked very pitiful. She knew that many patients were...
They came from out of town, and sometimes the journey by car alone would take more than ten or twenty hours, which was much more difficult than for locals like them. She had made an appointment with Aunt Zhang to have lunch together before, so it didn't matter if it was late.
Fang Jingyi looked at Xia Mengying, smiled and nodded.
"I know Miss Xia has a kind heart."
Wang Lin smiled. She was five years older than Xia Mengying. Her father was the director of this hospital. After graduating from college, she studied with Zhang Hui. It has been two years now. She had no money to endure the torture of the disease.
After being discharged from the hospital or kneeling on the ground begging the doctor for help, a familiar face suddenly leaves this world forever. This kind of thing happens every day in the hospital. The more you see it, the more you gradually become numb.
"Don't tell Aunt Zhang that we are here. If she asks, just answer that there may be a traffic jam on the road. Mom and I can just sit here and wait."
It wasn't until the hour hand was about to point to twelve o'clock that the last patient came out. Xia Mengying stood up, walked to the door, held her hand on the door and looked inside. Zhang Huizheng, who had worked hard all morning, was drinking water and looking at
He poked his little head out of the door, put down the thermos cup in his hand that was as big as a kettle, and laughed out loud, "The traffic jam is too serious, you are actually more than an hour late."
Xia Mengying smiled, and she and Fang Jingyi entered Zhang Hui's office one after another.
"We were late on purpose. Aunt Zhang, why don't we have dinner together?"
It was already twelve o'clock, and she learned from Wang Lin that Zhang Hui had been busy all morning, and Xia Mengying was embarrassed to let her check up on Fang Jingyi while she was hungry.
Zhang Hui has been a doctor for more than 20 years. Because of her work, she is still unmarried and has no children. At first, she was just a junior doctor in the hospital. She was not rated because she could not find a relationship. Later, Fang Jingyi helped.
For this matter, she has always been very grateful to Fang Jingyi, and treats Xia Mengying as her own child.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry. I'll go change my clothes first."
Knowing that Zhang Hui still has work in the afternoon and Fang Jingyi also has to check her health, the few of them can only eat near the hospital. However, the location of Xilin Hospital is not very remote. There are all kinds of food nearby. Zhang Hui has worked here for more than 20 years.
Years ago, we were very familiar with the area, so we finally chose a Cantonese restaurant with a quiet environment.
"Mengmeng, I'm sorry. I've been so busy at work recently that I forgot your birthday. If you want to eat anything, I'll treat you to auntie, as an apology."
Compared to Fang Jingyi, Zhang Hui, who has not yet been married, has a much more cheerful personality. She has a smooth career and is full of confidence. In terms of personality, she is more compatible with young people.
When Xia Mengying heard this, her smile froze on her face, but she soon returned to her natural state. She took the menu handed over by Zhang Hui, a little absent-mindedly.
"Didn't you say you were going to France? Why did you come back?"
Xia Mengying casually ordered a few dishes, then pushed them to Zhang Hui, and suddenly stood up, "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. I need to go to the bathroom first."
"What's wrong with Mengmeng?"
Zhang Hui looked at Xia Mengying's back and keenly noticed something was wrong.
"Something happened at home and she was in a bad mood."
When Zhang Hui heard that it was a family matter, she didn't ask any more questions.
She knew something about the Xia family. A few years ago, she once saw Xia Dahai picking up a woman at the entrance of the hospital. Later, when she inquired about it, she found out that the woman was doing a prenatal check-up. However, she never told Fang Jingyi about this.
, because at a quick glance through the car window, she herself was not sure that the person was Xia Dahai.
"How is your health lately? I see that you look very bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? You need to be hospitalized as soon as possible."
Zhang Hui looked at Fang Jingyi and was very worried.
"Zhang Hui, there's something I want to ask you for help with."
Fang Jingyi held Zhang Hui's hand on the table, her face full of sincerity.
"You want me to help you hide Mengmeng? Haven't you told her yet? Didn't you say you would tell Xia Dahai and the others about the matter after you came back from France? Logically, they are the family members of the patient and have the right to know your condition.
, there’s no way you can drag it on like this!”
Zhang Hui became more and more anxious when she saw Fang Jingyi like this.
"Big things have happened at home recently. If she knows that I have leukemia, I'm worried that she will collapse. If you feel sorry for Mengmeng, please help me hide it from her for a while."
Originally, she planned to tell Xia Dahai, Xia Mengying and the others everything after returning from her trip to France, and then be hospitalized for treatment.
But now, so many things have happened to the Xia family. Xia Mengying suddenly lost her best friend and was extremely disappointed with her father. No matter how strong she was, she was still a child. Fang Jingyi knew that her strength was all for herself. If she
If something happened, she would completely lose her spiritual support and her emotions would definitely be unbearable.
Seeing that Zhang Hui was still reluctant, Fang Jingyi thought for a moment and continued, "On the day we went to France, we suddenly found out that Xia Dahai had a woman outside, and she also had a son and a daughter."
