"By the way, you were not here just now. The medical office received a call and we were preparing to pick up someone at the train station. President Liu has returned from Shuangqing. His wife may be..."
"Old Dean? What happened to his wife?"
No wonder these leaders have come out.
"What I said on the phone wasn't very clear. I heard it meant that the person might be in danger, and there was nothing I could do over there. I wanted to come over and see if there was any hope. The train they were on was about to arrive at the station."
Li Chu's heart sank when he heard this. The old dean's wife was already over eighty years old. Is it really okay to go through such trouble?
If a person is no longer here, will he go back?
Going to Beijing from Shuangqing requires taking both a boat and a train. A normal person would be terribly tired after just one trip, let alone an old man in his eighties. I don't know what the old dean is thinking.
In fact, it was really not what the old dean wanted to do, but he couldn't bear the willingness of his son and daughter, so he could only let it go.
"When will it arrive? Will you go there now?"
"If it's on time, the train should arrive around eleven o'clock. Shall we go together?" Dean Du cast a questioning look at Li Chu.
"Okay, how do you get there? Do you want to drive?"
"No, let's take the minibus."
"Okay, I'll go tell Qiunan."
…
At the train station, the headquarters staff who arrived first greeted me, and they drove the car directly into the platform.
It is rare that this train was not delayed and arrived on time at 11:10.
When he saw the old dean and his wife, Li Chu sighed secretly in his heart.
This does not mean that one person is exhausted, it is clear that both of them have reached the point where they have run out of fuel.
Without much greeting, I got in the car as soon as I received the person.
As soon as they got in the car, except for the children of the old dean, everyone else turned their attention to Li Chu.
"Xiao Li, the reason why I agreed to the children's request and came back thousands of miles away is actually because of you. I'm just waiting for you to tell me how we are doing now."
The old dean looked at Li Chu and said slightly tiredly. The hands of the two of them were still tightly held together at this time.
Several of his children, as well as his daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and grandchildren all looked over in surprise. The meaning of the old man's words was very clear. The reason why they agreed to come back was to find him.
But isn’t this a bit too young?
"Old Dean, you and Aunt Liu should rest for a while after traveling all the way. We will talk about it when we get to the hospital."
Li Chu didn't know what to say. He believed that the old dean knew his condition very well and was willing to make this trip. He probably treated a dead horse as a live doctor.
While the vehicle was moving, only the old dean's family members were whispering in the car. Several hospital leaders and headquarters staff were relatively silent. The old dean and his wife were sitting there with their eyes closed and meditating.
"Lao Li, how do I feel..."
Vice President Chang walked from the back of the car to the front and sat next to Li Chu, whispering.
"What did you see?"
"I can't explain it, but I always feel that there is an indescribable weird feeling between the two of them."
"Your feeling is right. Not only is Aunt Liu dying, the old dean is actually holding on for his last breath."
Vice President Chang turned his head and glanced behind him, then turned back and asked, "Is there nothing you can do?"
"The current situation of both of them is that they both prosper and suffer. As long as one of them fails, the other will definitely follow suit immediately. Let's go back and see for details later."
"Xiao Li, Xiao Chang, what are you two muttering about?"
"Old Dean, Vice Dean Chang and I are discussing how to treat Aunt Liu."
"Haha, don't deceive me. After all these years, why don't I know that you still need to consult with others for medical treatment? Tell me what you have seen. Let me see if your medical skills have improved in the past few years."
"Old Dean, now is the time to consider my medical skills." Li Chu said, somewhat dumbfounded.
The old dean stared at Li Chu with his somewhat cloudy eyes for a while, then sighed and shook his head and said: "How is that old fellow of your uncle? We haven't contacted him for a long time. Is he already lying in bed?
Can’t take care of yourself anymore?”
"Old Dean, if you are willing, I will take you over to see him later."
"You can bring it with you. It's not like I don't know his family. I'm going to go have a meal with him in the afternoon."
Seeing the old dean close his eyes again, Li Chu and several dean leaders looked at each other, this matter could not be hidden forever.
At that time, they were worried about the physical condition of the old dean, and he was too far away, so everyone unanimously decided not to tell him about Lin Sanshou's death, but it seemed that they couldn't hide it now.
The car quickly drove to the hospital, and after a busy schedule, it was already one o'clock after Dean Liu's wife was arranged to be admitted to the special needs ward.
"Xiao Li, you don't have to hide it from me. Is she already dying?"
Outside the suite, the old dean asked eagerly as soon as he sat down on the sofa.
"Old Dean, I think you must have made a decision in your mind, right?"
"Alas." After hearing what Li Chu said, Dean Liu sighed unwillingly and said with a lonely expression: "I knew it was like this, but I still have a glimmer of hope for you in my heart, so they said they wanted to go to Beijing again."
Look, I have no objection."
There was a trace of confusion in the eyes of Dean Liu's eldest son, who was already over sixty years old. He leaned next to Deputy Director Qiao of the Department of Surgery who had just arrived and asked quietly: "Dongsheng, what is this Xiao Li that my father called me?"
Man? I didn’t even show it to my mother when I saw him. He didn’t even touch the test reports. Why did he just say it so casually and my father believed it?”
Deputy Director Qiao is a former student of Dean Liu and the only person his eldest son can know here.
"Old Liu, Xiao Li is what your father can call you. He is an absolute expert in traditional Chinese medicine in our country. He specializes in... treating patients and recuperating the body." Deputy Director Qiao said and quietly extended a finger upward.
Pointed.
The eldest son of the Liu family glanced at Li Chu in surprise, who was sitting over there talking to his father, and asked: "How old is he?"
"Uh... you have to be fifty. I don't know exactly how old you are."
On the other side, several chief experts from the Department of Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine all shook their heads helplessly after carefully reading the examination report that the old lady had done during the double celebration.
This is not a disease, but a normal deterioration of body functions and failure of various organs in the body. The successful arrival at Sijiu City this time was all due to the support of the Zi Qi.
As soon as she was admitted to the ward, the old lady had already passed out.
"Xiao Li, are you sure you can let her live a few more days?"
