She knew that Xiaotian was still waiting for her life-saving medicine.
But now.
Seeing this moment of the child, Shen Pianzhi's heart could no longer suppress all her emotions and finally collapsed.
With red eyes, she walked to Xiaotian, squatted down, and gently touched his face: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for so long... I'm sorry..."
Shen Pianzhi's voice was choked with sobs.
She didn't know what else to say to her son except sorry.
She wanted to ask her son if it hurt and if he was scared.
However, she thought before she asked, he was just a four-year-old child, suddenly faced with losing hearing, vision, and even touch, how could he not be afraid?
All the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say a word.
Xiaotian stretched out his hand and touched Shen Pianzhi's face.
He touched Mommy's hot tears.
Xiaotian communicated with Shen Pianzhi in sign language: "Mommy, don't cry, I don't feel any pain or discomfort."
Suddenly, Xiaotian felt a little sad when he thought that Shen Pianzhi didn't seem to know sign language.
Now that he can't see, he can't use his mobile phone to edit his words and tell his mother.
Even though he knew he didn't have much time, he didn't feel sad.
But when he thought that he had no way to communicate with his mother, he began to feel sad.
Shen Pianzhi was already crying so hard that her tears were falling like broken beads. She was so distressed that even every breath hurt.
How could he not be in pain?
She wished she could hold her son tightly in her arms and cry loudly, but she didn't.
Wiping away her tears, Shen Pianzhi took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress her collapsed mood, and forced a smile. Her voice was extremely gentle: "I'm not crying. Aren't you going to bask in the sun? Come on, I'll push you outside. Bask in the sun."
He Xiaotian was surprised. Can Mommy understand his sign language?
He nodded excitedly, and his little face, which was sallow due to illness, regained some of its energy at this moment.
Shen Pianzhi was afraid that her son would be scared if he couldn't hear the sound, so she kept telling him stories in a gentle voice.
From the story of the mermaid princess, to Little Red Riding Hood's wolf grandmother, and then to the little match girl.
I talked for a long time.
Shen Pianzhi's steps were also extremely slow.
It was only a few minutes' walk from the ward to the outside, but she walked for more than ten minutes.
It wasn't until she pushed Xiaotian to the lobby on the first floor of the hospital that Shen Pianzhi discovered that Xiaotian had fallen asleep again at some point.
Staring at her son's quietly closed eyes, Shen Pianzhi's eyes turned red again.
He Licun, who had been following the mother and son, said with a solemn face: "Professor Shen, thank you for staying with Xiaotian for so long. I will notify the bank to transfer a sum of money to you later. It will be regarded as a thank you fee. Please Don’t say no.”
Thank you fee?
Thank her for staying with Xiaotian for so long?
These words seemed ironic to Shen Pianzhi's ears at this moment.
She is Xiaotian's biological mother. Now, she is accompanying her son, but does she still need a thank you fee from others?
"No need." Shen Pianzhi stared at He Licun with red eyes: "Mr. He, may I ask, have you contacted the patient I asked you to find?"
He Licun's eyes darkened: "...not yet."
The air was quiet again.
Shen Pianzhi was silent, staring at Xiaotian who had fallen asleep in the wheelchair with his eyelids lowered. His voice was low and hoarse: "Before the drug experiment, I can't guarantee the current effect of the drug. Mr. He, please find someone who can cooperate with the experimental research as soon as possible." People don’t have much time left.”
After saying this, Shen Pianzhi looked away from Xiaotian: "I'm going back to the laboratory first. You should take good care of him. If there is any abnormality, notify me immediately."
"Yes, I will." He Licun nodded, staring closely at Shen Pianzhi's red eyes: "Thank you for everything you have done for Xiaotian."
After watching Shen Pianzhi's figure disappear from the elevator entrance, He Licun retracted his gaze and pushed his son back to the ward again.
