This is the old director's third surgery this week.
The first two times,
The dean got through it all.
And this time,
No one can tell for sure.
The lights in the emergency room had not yet been turned off, and a nurse hurriedly walked out of it.
"Nurse, my grandfather..."
Han Bingbing didn't finish his words.
The nurse simply made a reassuring gesture and then trotted away.
soon,
The nurse came back with something in her hand.
In Han Bingbing's hand was the hospital director's bill for the many days of hospitalization, including the cost of two surgeries.
Up to more than one million!
For a senior high school student, this is an astronomical figure.
He is the oldest child in the orphanage.
So he has to shoulder a lot of things.
But looking at such a long string of numbers, he felt confused and seemed particularly at a loss.
Can't afford it!
I really can’t afford it!!
Even if he drops out of school now and goes to work on a construction site, he doesn't know how many years of work it will take to save more than one million...
for a moment,
Han Bingbing thought of Chen Ming.
Maybe,
Chen Ming is rich.
He knew Chen Ming's mobile phone number and wanted to call Chen Ming more than once, but the dean told Han Bingbing when he was sober not to tell Chen Ming.
He is old.
He has no worries in his life, but he can't let go of the children in the orphanage.
It's not worth spending money on him.
"Bingbing, don't trouble your brother Chen Ming."
"If I can't resist it, go under the bed in my room and take out all the money."
"When the children are adults, you don't have to worry about them."
"And you, you must study hard."
"If you have any difficulties, just go to Chen Ming. Your brother Chen Ming will not ignore you."
After the first surgery,
The dean held Han Bingbing's hand and spoke weakly.
Until now,
Han Bingbing still remembered the dean's tone when he said these words.
He is only a senior in high school and has just grown up.
for a time,
He didn't know how to respond to the dean at all. At that time, he just held the dean's hand and was speechless.
"what do I do?"
Han Bingbing's hands and feet were shaking.
After all, he is just a child.
At this moment,
A cold voice sounded in his ears: "Han Bingbing."
Han Bingbing suddenly raised his head, and an ordinary face came into his eyes.
Chen Ming.
Han Bingbing memorized the fee sheet in his hand and stood up.
"Brother Chen Ming."
"take it out!"
"Brother Chen Ming..."
"Take it out and don't let me say it a third time!"
Chen Ming looked cold and raised his right hand.
Han Bingbing handed the expense bill to Chen Ming, lowering his head and not daring to look at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming took it over and took a look.
It clearly states that the amount in arrears is 1,213,729 yuan.
This is not the key!
Chen Ming looked at the header of the bill, where a lot of professional medical terms were written, and the final conclusion was four words: advanced gastric cancer.
These four words were like a sharp knife, piercing Chen Ming and making him unable to breathe.
Late stage gastric cancer,
On earth, there is a high probability that it cannot be cured.
Uninterrupted surgeries and post-surgery chemotherapy can only delay the disease.
But this is China.
Chen Ming did not give up hope. What if China's medical level was more advanced than that on Earth?
"You wait here."
Chen Ming took the bill and ran to the counter.
After paying the fee, Chen Ming asked the person on duty at the counter: "Hello, I would like to ask, can late-stage gastric cancer be cured?"
The medical staff at the counter explained patiently: "If you actively cooperate with our treatment in the future, there is hope for recovery."
Chen Ming was lost for a while.
This statement means that there is little chance.
It seems,
China's medical level is basically in sync with the earth.
Returning to the emergency room again,
Chen Ming looked at Han Bingbing in front of him and said in an unusually calm tone: "Why don't you call me?"
"I....."
"Lift your head and look at me."
Chen Ming spoke coldly.
Han Bingbing didn't dare.
Although Chen Ming has never lost his temper, he is still very afraid of Chen Ming.
"say!"
Chen Ming's tone was a little stronger. If he hadn't considered that this was a hospital, his voice might have been higher.
.......
"Grandpa didn't let me tell you."
Han Bingbing said softly.
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The old dean knew about his illness and was afraid of spending Chen Ming's money.
Thinking of this,
Chen Ming looked up and glanced at the bright red words "Emergency Room".
There was silence for a long time.
Chen Ming asked again: "I heard from the director of the Teaching Office that you have been absent from class for a week."
"What have you been doing?"
Hearing the words,
Han Bingbing's expression flashed with panic.
"I asked for leave to take care of grandpa. When Brother Chen Ming comes, I will go back to class."
The next second,
Chen Ming took out a dropout application: "Who taught you to lie?"
"Who gave you the courage to drop out of school?!"
Han Bingbing clenched his hands into fists, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his stubbornness: "I want to go out to work and earn money. Brother Chen Ming, you can do what you are now after graduating from high school, and so can I!" "Pa~"
A slap sounded.
The right side of Han Bingbing's face instantly became red and swollen.
at the same time,
His eyes also became red, but he was stubborn and did not shed a single tear.
"I'm your brother and I'm rich."
"Using you to go out to work?!"
"I studied for several years and didn't even get into college, and now I don't even have a decent academic certificate when I go out."
"When I couldn't eat for a few days, I kept thinking about how great it would be if I studied hard and went to university."
"You want to learn from me?!"
Chen Ming hit someone for the first time.
and,
The ones who were beaten were the children in the orphanage.
Not everyone is as lucky as Chen Ming and happens to encounter such a ridiculous thing as time travel.
possible,
Chen Ming is the only time traveler in the world.
Therefore,
Chen Ming does not want the children in the orphanage to take chances. Studying hard and entering college is always the right path.
Even if he graduates and becomes a white-collar worker in the future, it will still be much better than Chen Ming living in a low-rent house worth RMB 300 to RMB 400 and living without a meal.
At this moment,
The hospital staff rushed over and protected Han Bingbing behind him.
"You are a person who just talks when you say it, why do you still beat the child!"
"If you have something to say, please say it and don't hit the child."
see the situation,
Chen Ming said no more nonsense: "Go back to school."
Hearing the words,
Han Bingbing wiped the tears from his eyes and left without saying a word.
After Han Bingbing left,
Chen Ming was sitting alone on the bench outside the emergency room, not knowing what he was thinking.
Several hours passed.
The lights on the emergency room finally went out.
"Doctor, how's it going?"
Chen Ming quickly stood up and asked.
The doctor took off his mask: "The patient's condition is temporarily stable, but hospitalization and chemotherapy will definitely be inevitable in the follow-up."
"In addition, your diet also needs to be changed. I will ask the nurse to make a nutritional list for you. You can just follow it and buy it."
"Also, the patient needs to rest and rest. Don't disturb him if nothing happens."
Hearing the words,
Chen Ming finally felt relieved.
The dean was pushed out.
He is thinner!
The facial features that were still prominent in the face are now sunken, and there is no trace of blood.
Seeing this scene,
Chen Ming still couldn't hold back his tears and cried silently.
But he felt more self-blame in his heart.
If he paid more attention to the orphanage and the director, he might be able to detect the condition earlier and get treatment earlier, and the hope of recovery would be greater.
