After leaving Yangyang's mother's ward, Bai Ya did not leave the hospital directly. Instead, she turned around and went to the gastroenterology department of the hospital.
"Bai Ya is here, come on, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
The chief physician, who was in his late fifties and had a big belly, greeted Bai Ya warmly and waved away the other doctors and nurses in the office, "You all should go out first. I have some private matters to discuss with the patient's family."
"Director Zhao, everyone is very busy, so there is no need to trouble you all. I have nothing else to do. I just want you to help my mother prescribe some medicine." Bai Ya, who didn't want to be alone with Director Zhao, bit her thin lips lightly and said,
"My mother is alone at home. I'm really worried. Director Zhao, please just prescribe medicine for me."
"He is indeed Xiaoyong's favorite person. He knows how to put himself in others' shoes and is really considerate."
Director Zhao nodded with a look of relief and expectation: "Bai Ya, I am really looking forward to you becoming the daughter-in-law of our Zhao family."
"I will prescribe medicine for your mother now. Remember to bring your mother over for a review in two weeks."
After prescribing the medicine, Director Zhao warned Bai Ya in a cautious voice, "Your mother's illness can't be delayed any longer. If you delay chemotherapy like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive even a year. So,
Regarding your marriage to Xiaoyong, you should make a decision early."
"You and Xiaoyong are classmates, so you can be considered childhood sweethearts. I still say the same thing, as long as you and Xiaoyong get married, all the expenses for your mother's chemotherapy will be borne by our family."
After a pause, Director Zhao deliberately emphasized his tone and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for that kid Xiaoyong's deep love for you. Given your family conditions, I would definitely consider this marriage between our two families carefully.
After all, the cost of your mother's chemotherapy is not a small amount of money, and ordinary families cannot afford it."
"Even if you find a rich family, whether they are willing to pay for your mother's chemotherapy is still a matter of two people." Director Zhao glanced at Bai Ya, shook his head and sighed: "Bai Ya, I
I know you are a filial child. However, my patience is limited. If you don't make a decision early, I may not be able to help you even if I want to help you. So, you have to take care of yourself."
"I, I understand."
After nodding her head in response to Director Zhao, Bai Ya didn't stay too long and immediately left.
…
Jiangdong City, an old-fashioned community.
Bai Ya, who has been renting here with her mother since graduating from college, parked the car and locked it, then went up to the top of the seventh floor with the eggs she gritted her teeth to buy and the medicine she got from the hospital for her mother.
After all, she was just a thin and fragile woman who climbed up to the seventh floor in one breath. After Bai Ya took a breath for a while, she took out the door key from her slightly white crossbody bag and opened the door and entered the house.
There is a strong smell of medicine lingering in the room. Most people would frown and cover their noses when they first smell it, but Bai Ya has long been accustomed to it and does not feel any discomfort.
After putting down the eggs and medicine in her hands, Bai Ya immediately walked to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Bai Ya's mother, who was suffering from stomach cancer, was half-curled up on the bed in pain. When she saw Bai Ya enter the room, her expression instantly relaxed a lot, and she struggled to sit up.
"Mom, don't move, just lie down."
Bai Ya hurriedly took two steps and supported her mother who was about to get up. "I went to the hospital to help you get medicine, so I came back late. Please lie down a little longer. I bought eggs today, and I will make eggs for you now."
Soup."
"No hurry, no hurry." Bai Ya's mother An Suqin, who could hear a hint of weakness in her voice, took the initiative to grab Bai Ya's plain white catkins and said, "Mom has been lying down all day. Don't be in a hurry to eat. You
Let’s chat with mom. None of your students made you angry today, right?”
"No, they are all obedient."
Bai Ya smiled softly, "Today a new child came to our kindergarten and was assigned to our class. Maybe it was because he felt fresh on the first day of school. At first, when his parents were with him, he played quite well with a few children in our class.
However, as soon as the parents left, she couldn't stand it anymore. She kept crying and couldn't be coaxed no matter how hard she tried. Later, there was nothing we could do, so our principal called the parents to pick her up in advance."
"Hey, children nowadays are so delicate. I remember you rarely cried when you were a child."
While sighing, An Suqin patted Bai Ya's jade hand lightly, with a hint of apology in her slightly chaotic eyes, "I've suffered a lot for you since you grew up. First, it was because your dad owed gambling debts.
, not to mention selling our house, it almost made it impossible for you to go to school. Fortunately, you managed to live up to your expectations, even if you changed to a high school in the countryside, you were admitted to a good university."
"Now that I think about it, your dad and I are really sorry for you. It's just that your dad died early because of his evil deeds. God has made me such a semi-sick man again, holding you back."
As An Suqin spoke, she began to cry, "I, sometimes I really want to get it over with and just die. So that I don't have to drag you down all day long and make you suffer with me at such a young age."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I am your daughter and it is my duty to take care of you."
Infected by An Suqin, Bai Ya also had tears in her eyes. While wiping An Suqin's tears with paper, she suppressed her tears and advised: "The past is in the past. With you by my side, I will
I feel that I am very happy every day. As long as you are well, I really don’t feel any pain.”
"I must have done great good deeds in my previous life, so that I could give birth to such a sensible and beautiful daughter like you in this life."
An Suqin, who couldn't bear Bai Ya to cry with her, forced herself to smile, "Xiaoya, tell the truth to your mother, is there anyone chasing you outside? If so, you must do it
If you want to tell mom, it’s best if you can take it home and show it to mom.”
"Still, it's better not to take it back."
An Suqin, who shook his head without waiting for Bai Ya's reply, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became much more lonely, "Mom is like this now, if people see it, it will easily affect you, mom - I can't drag you down anymore.
.”
"Mom, please stop talking."
Bai Ya, who felt a heartache in her heart, leaned down, hugged An Suqin, and whispered softly, "No one wants to chase me, and I don't want to fall in love. I just want to be with you all the time."
you."
"Silly girl, how many more years do I have to live?"
An Suping was very kind. She lowered her head and patted Bai Ya's back, and said with emotion like an exhortation, "Mom's biggest wish now is that you can find someone you like to entrust to you for the rest of your life. In that case, Mom
I feel completely at ease. Girl, listen to mom. If you meet someone who chases you and you like it, you must not miss it."
"Mom, I missed the person I liked a long time ago." She silently responded to An Suqin in her heart. Bai Ya's tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes, and they were about to fall.
For fear of being seen by An Suqin, Bai Ya quickly stood up and left, "Mom, you take a rest first, I'll go cook."
After walking out of the bedroom, Bai Ya's tears fell down like broken beads.
While shedding tears, Bai Ya walked back to her bedroom and took out a somewhat pale photo of a student from a folded notebook on the bedside table.
The photo was a very ordinary photo of a boy without a hat, which was well preserved. Bai Ya looked at the photo carefully, crying and laughing, "You must have forgotten me, but I - I can't forget you."
The boy in the photo is none other than Luo Chen from high school. (To be continued)
