Bai Ya immediately opened the door, and two nurses and a doctor walked into the room. The doctor asked Bai Ya where the patient was, and Bai Ya immediately led them to An Suqin's bedroom.
The doctor simply examined An Suqin and looked solemn.
"The patient's condition is very unstable and he must be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible!"
When Bai Ya heard this, her heart couldn't help but hang high. She begged the doctor to save her mother.
The doctor said he was trying his best, and then directed two nurses to carry An Suqin onto a stretcher and send him to the ambulance waiting in the unit building.
"Family members, please come with us to the hospital."
After the doctor finished speaking, he walked out quickly. Bai Ya and Li Lu followed the doctor out of the unit building and got into the ambulance together.
The ambulance siren sounded and it drove out of the community and headed towards the First People's Hospital of the city.
In the car, Bai Ya held An Suqin's hand tightly and watched the nurse insert an needle into her mother's hand, holding back the tears in her eyes. Li Lu could not do anything but comfort Bai Ya softly.
After arriving at the hospital, An Suqin was immediately sent to the intensive care unit. A doctor named Li Ming took some doctors and nurses to treat An Suqing, including Director Zhao.
Seeing Bai Ya panicking, Director Zhao told her.
"Bai Ya, don't worry, I'm going to see what's wrong with your mother."
"Thank you, Director Zhao."
After seeing the doctors enter the ward, Bai Ya collapsed on the bench outside the ward. Li Lu stayed with her and could only comfort her constantly.
"Xiaoya, don't worry, Aunt Ji has her own destiny, there will definitely be no problem."
Bai Ya nodded with tears at this moment, praying in her heart that her mother would be safe.
After about an hour, Li Ming, Director Zhao and several other doctors walked out of the intensive care unit together. Bai Ya immediately came to them and hurriedly asked how her mother's condition was.
Director Zhao, Li Ming and several other doctors whispered to each other for a few words, and then sighed, "Bai Ya, come to my office to talk."
Seeing Director Zhao's solemn expression, Bai Ya suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave and was almost unsteady. Li Lu saw her and hurriedly supported her.
Bai Ya, Li Lu and Dr. Li Ming went to Director Zhao's office together.
Director Zhao sat in his seat, and his assistant poured tea for the four of them. However, at this moment, Bai Ya was concerned about her mother. As soon as she sat down, she immediately asked Director Zhao, her voice trembling.
"Director Zhao, how is my mother doing?"
"This...let's let Dr. Li say it. He is the authority in this regard."
After hearing this, Bai Ya immediately turned her attention to Li Ming, who was sitting opposite her and wearing a white coat, and asked him how her mother's condition was.
Li Ming had an indifferent look on his face, as if he was used to the misery of farewell in the world and would not be affected by other people's emotions. He said without emotion.
"Miss Bai, your mother's condition is not optimistic. The tumor in her lungs is showing signs of spreading, and it has caused a series of complications. At present, we can only ensure the safety of your mother first. As for what will happen next?
, you still need to be hospitalized for observation. If the situation improves, I suggest immediate surgery, so that your mother may still have hope of recovery, otherwise..."
Li Ming didn't say anything else. Bai Ya also understood. She was a little unbelievable. Her mother's condition had obviously stabilized some time ago, so how could it suddenly worsen?
But Bai Ya has no time to care about this at the moment, because the most important thing right now is to get her mother treated quickly.
Bai Ya wanted to hold Li Ming's hand, but because the distance was too far, her hands could only wave uneasily on the coffee table and said with a trembling voice.
"Doctor Li, please save my mother, please."
"I will definitely do my best, but I also hope that Miss Bai can raise the funds needed for treatment as soon as possible."
"How much...how much does it cost?"
"The patient now needs to be hospitalized for two to three days. The cost during this period will not be much. If the condition is stable, we hope to have surgery immediately. The cost of the surgery will be around 300,000 yuan."
"So... much?"
Hearing Li Ming talk about the required expenses without emotion, Bai Ya felt deeply desperate. She might be able to make up the cost of hospitalization in the past few days, but what should she do with that price of surgery?
Li Ming is used to such scenes. He has encountered countless patients with expressions of despair like Bai Ya's because of the sky-high operating fees.
Some even collapsed on the spot because they couldn't bear it anymore. However, Li Ming just watched these things happen. Saving people was just a job for him. Even if he wanted to help, he didn't have that much money.
Is it really possible to just...
Bai Ya looked at Director Zhao.
Director Zhao, who had been waiting for a long time, felt that his opportunity had come. The reason why he asked Li Ming to talk to Bai Ya was to put pressure on Bai Ya.
Li Ming was the attending doctor, and asked him to tell Bai Ya without emotion that her mother's current bad situation made Bai Ya feel even more in crisis. At this time, if he helped Bai Ya, the effect would be remarkable.
"Bai Ya, don't worry. I'll help you pay the hospital bills for the past two days. As for the surgery fees, I will also help you find a way."
Bai Ya knew that Director Zhao had other intentions, but at this moment, she had no other choice.
"Thank you Zhao..."
Bai Ya just wanted to say thank you, but was interrupted by Li Lu sitting next to him.
Li Lu had known for a long time that Director Zhao wanted to take advantage of Bai Ya's mother's illness to blackmail her into marrying her son Zhao Yong, and now she spoke angrily.
"Xiaoya, you don't need his help. I'll pay the medical bills for you these two days. As for the surgery fees, we'll figure it out later."
After saying that, Li Lu stood up directly and asked Bai Ya to wait for her for a while, and then asked Li Ming to take her to pay the fee.
Bai Ya didn't want to trouble Li Lu anymore. She knew that Li Lu had spent a lot of money to help her, but Li Lu made up her mind and left the office with Li Ming.
Seeing that Li Lu and Li Ming had left, Director Zhao finally couldn't help but began to persuade.
"Bai Ya, you have seen your mother's current situation, and you have to think about it clearly. I still say the same thing, as long as you agree to marry my Xiaoyong, I swear that I will definitely cure your mother."
Bai Ya lowered her head. She had never been so desperate in her life.
Bai Ya knew that since her mother An Suqin became ill, Li Lu had been doing her best to help her. However, Li Lu only came from a working-class family and her own income was not very high.
In order to save herself, Li Lu even used the money her parents had prepared for her wedding to help pay for her hospitalization expenses.
Bai Ya knew that besides agreeing to Director Zhao's request, there might really be no other way to save her mother.
Director Zhao saw Bai Ya not responding and continued to persuade her in her ears.
"Bai Ya, you have to think carefully. If your mother wants to recover, she will need more than one operation, and one or two more depending on the situation. The cost each time is not small. Can you afford it?"
After a long silence, Bai Ya suddenly raised her head with firm eyes.
