With the intervention of the powerful medical resources of the Ye Charity Foundation, Sun Guixiang's condition has been brought under unprecedented control.
Although the shadow of advanced lung cancer still follows me, the pain deep in my chest and the stubborn cough have not completely disappeared.
But the suffocating feeling of being on the verge of collapse and the desperate fear of death have been replaced by a relatively stable and hopeful state.
She was admitted to a special single-bedroom ward arranged by the foundation. The environment was clean and comfortable, and she was cared for by a dedicated nurse.
The most important thing is that Xiao Shitou's life and study were properly arranged, and a smile returned to the child's face, which soothed her weathered heart better than any medicine.
That morning, Sun Guixiang, who had just completed a new round of examinations and treatment, felt relatively well. A nurse helped her slowly walk from the treatment area back to the inpatient building.
As they passed the elegant dining room on the first floor of the inpatient department, which was reserved for special patients and their families, the nurse asked with concern, "Auntie Sun, would you like to come in and sit down? We have some freshly baked millet cakes today. They're soft and tender, so you should be able to enjoy some."
Sun Guixiang looked inside the clean and bright glass door. There were a few people wearing hospital gowns or looking like their family members sitting sparsely, and a faint aroma of food wafted through the air.
She was indeed a little hungry, but more importantly, she wanted to experience the long-lost "normal" life with a sense of home.
She nodded and walked in with the help of the nurse.
The restaurant's interior is simple and inviting, with warm yellow lighting casting a shadow over the light wood tables and chairs. The nurse arranged for Sun Guixiang to sit at a four-person table covered with an off-white tablecloth by the window while she went to the window to select her food.
Sun Guixiang leaned back in the soft chair, panting slightly, her gaze vacantly cast out the window. The thin winter sunlight filtered through the bare branches, casting mottled shadows on the clean ground.
She was wearing a soft hospital gown provided by the foundation, with a clean dark gray thin cotton vest on the outside. Her gray hair was combed neatly, and her face still looked sick.
Just as she was gazing out the window in a daze, a figure quietly walked in from the other side of the restaurant, near the green plants in the corner.
His youthful figure was wrapped in a high-quality dark gray high-necked cashmere sweater, with a perfectly tailored wool coat of the same color casually draped over his arm.
His black short hair was neat and tidy, and he wore his signature pair of thin-rimmed silver glasses on his nose.
The gray-blue eyes behind the lenses were calm and peaceful, like the surface of a lake covered with thin ice.
He walked steadily towards a relatively secluded table for two against the wall.
It is the clear stream of the night.
He seemed to have just finished a brief meeting with hospital executives, and there was a subtle hint of fatigue on his face, which came from high-intensity work.
He walked to the double table, draped his coat over the back of the chair next to him, and sat down in a relaxed manner.
His sitting posture was still upright, his back was not relaxed at all, and he had an elegance and self-discipline engraved in his bones.
He picked up the tablet computer on the table, lowered his eyes to browse the information on the screen, and occasionally slid his slender fingers. His expression was focused and distant, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The restaurant was very quiet, with only soft background music and the occasional clink of cutlery in the distance.
Sun Guixiang's eyes accidentally swept across the corner. When she saw the figure sitting quietly, her cloudy eyes lit up instantly!
It's him! That kid!
A huge surprise and indescribable gratitude instantly flooded her heart! Ever since that last "offense" in the foundation office that still left her with lingering fears, she hadn't seen this young master again.
The heavy burden of gratitude and deep guilt have always weighed on her heart.
She had thought countless times that if she could see him again, she would definitely thank him properly and apologize more formally.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of you!
Sun Guixiang's heart was pounding and her skinny fingers were trembling slightly with excitement.
She almost immediately wanted to stand up and walk over. However, her body was still weak, and her emotions were surging. As soon as she tried to stand up with the help of the handrail, she felt dizzy and sat back down weakly.
The nurse came back with a tray containing a small bowl of steaming vegetable and lean meat porridge and two golden and soft millet cakes.
"Auntie Sun, please eat slowly and be careful of the heat." She placed the plate in front of Sun Guixiang.
"Xiao Li... look over there..." Sun Guixiang's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and her fingers trembled slightly as she pointed in the direction of Ye Qingliu.
"It's... it's that kid! The kid who helped our family so much!"
Nurse Xiao Li followed her gaze and when he recognized the young man with a cold temperament and obviously extraordinary identity, a look of surprise and understanding appeared on his face.
She whispered, "Auntie Sun, don't get too excited. Your health is important. That... young master is busy. How about we eat first? We'll see how things go later..."
"No...no..." Sun Guixiang was extremely stubborn. The desire to express gratitude and make up for her guilt overwhelmed everything.
"I have to go... go thank him... last time... last time I..." She thought of her offending hand, and her eyes felt sore again.
Seeing the strong desire and persistence in the old woman's eyes, Xiao Li sighed helplessly and carefully helped her up: "Then go slowly, I will help you over."
With the support of Xiao Li, Sun Guixiang moved towards the table in the corner very slowly, step by step.
Every step she took was filled with anxiety and trepidation. The closer she got, the clearer she could see.
