Xia Qing reacted, took out the report and handed it to her, quickly explaining the situation: "My father came to Beijing with his fellow villagers to work. He accidentally fell on the construction site and broke his arms and legs. After a full physical examination, he was found to have a brain tumor. The doctor said the location is very dangerous and it is already in the late stage."
When she spoke of the latter part, Xia Qing's voice choked.
After receiving the news from her mother, she rushed here from S City and was transferred to the best hospital in Beijing.
After examination, the final confirmed result was that the tumor was still in the late stage.
Shen Qinghuan frowned as he looked at the report and CT scans.
"It is indeed dangerous."
As we were talking, we arrived at the ward.
Compared to the last time I saw him, Xia Donghui looked like a deflated balloon, lying thin on the hospital bed.
His hands and feet were in plaster, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was a little weak, but he was still on oxygen.
The ward was an ordinary three-person ward. There were two critically ill patients lying on the other two beds. The whole ward seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of despair.
Shen Qinghuan was already used to this situation in the hospital.
As soon as she came in, she habitually displayed the steadiness typical of medical staff, and all her emotions were suppressed in an instant.
"Uncle?" Shen Qinghuan called out.
Zhou Chunmei also called out softly, "Old Xia, Qinghuan is here to see you, wake up."
Xia Donghui slowly opened his eyes and saw Shen Qinghuan with his cloudy eyes. After a moment, he raised his hand with some excitement.
"Qing, Qing Huan."
He can still speak and recognize people, which means he is not completely confused.
Shen Qinghuan walked to the bedside and spoke to Xia Donghui gently: "Uncle, it's me. Why didn't you tell me that you were sick?"
Xia Donghui slowly shook his head: "No, it's okay."
The niece herself was not having an easy time either. The diagnosis showed that her disease was already in the late stage. Not only would the treatment cost a huge sum of money, it might not even be curable. The moment she learned about her condition, she decided to give up.
Shen Qinghuan carefully observed Xia Donghui's condition, took his hand out from under the quilt, and took his pulse.
The disease came like a mountain falling on him. Xia Donghui's body was getting weaker day by day. Coupled with the side effects of the medicine, Xia Donghui's condition was very bad now.
"Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Donghui shook his head slowly.
Shen Qinghuan stuffed his hands back into the quilt.
"Uncle, I have something to do here. I will come to see you later."
Xia Donghui nodded weakly.
Seeing that she was about to leave and didn't say anything about saving Xia Donghui, Zhou Chunmei suddenly became anxious.
"Qinghuan." She wanted to pull Shen Qinghuan, but was blocked by Xia Qing. When she pushed Xia Qing away, Shen Qinghuan had already left the ward, so she hurriedly chased after him.
"Qinghuan, wait a minute." Zhou Chunmei trotted forward.
"You just saw your uncle. Do you have any way to save him?"
Shen Qinghuan frowned. Xia Donghui's condition was serious and she couldn't guarantee 100% that she could cure him.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhou Chunmei became even more anxious. Suddenly, she thought of something and her face changed slightly: "Do you hold a grudge against my aunt?"
"Qinghuan, your aunt is wrong. I just like to take advantage of small things, but your uncle is sincere to you."
Zhou Chunmei is just like most country women, devoted to her family. Although she is selfish, she is not as blood-sucking as Xia Dongquan and Wang Cuifen, and no one has ever taken the initiative to cause trouble for her.
So Shen Qinghuan couldn't say that he held a grudge against her.
At most, she just doesn't like Zhou Chunmei.
But there is no need to ignore my uncle's life or death.
She could only try her best to save her uncle.
Shen Qinghuan was about to speak when Zhou Chunmei anxiously tried to pull her forward, so Shen Qinghuan quickly took two steps back.
Zhou Chunmei thought Shen Qinghuan was unwilling to treat Xia Donghui.
"Qinghuan, that's your uncle. You can't just stand by and watch him die. I've heard from Xia Jing that you're Doctor An now. You're a very good doctor. You can definitely cure Old Xia."
Xia Jing was also greedy?
Zhou Chunmei's voice was so loud that it attracted the family members who were accompanying her in the ward, and everyone looked over curiously.
From Zhou Chunmei's words, everyone grasped the information that the patient's niece was a doctor.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Zhou Chunmei's heart was overwhelmed. She gritted her teeth and sat down on the ground crying.
"Oh my, the sky is falling. Old Xia, if you were gone, what would we do? You are our pillar of support. Qinghuan, this is your uncle. You can't just stand by and watch him die."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned by Zhou Chunmei's behavior.
Is this... moral kidnapping?
She saw people around pointing and looking at her with blaming eyes.
Shen Qinghuan laughed angrily.
Zhou Chunmei thought that she was unwilling to treat her uncle, so she wanted to use moral coercion to force her to help them.
Shen Qinghuan looked at Zhou Chunmei with increasingly cold eyes. She stood there coldly, not caring what the people around her said.
Zhou Chunmei shouted twice, and found that Shen Qinghuan was standing there indifferent, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, after taking care of her father and giving him some water and letting him fall asleep, Xia Qing heard the noise and came out. She saw her mother sitting on the ground with a throwing a tantrum. Her eyebrows jumped and she hurried over to help Zhou Chunmei.
"Mom, what are you doing? Qinghuan is a doctor, not a god. The best doctors in the hospital said that even surgery can't completely cure it."
Xia Qing didn't know how good Shen Qinghuan's medical skills were. Like her mother, she had heard from Xia Jing that Shen Qinghuan was very good.
But even so, they could not force Shen Qinghuan to treat his father.
Xia Qing is in her thirties and has been married for a long time. She looks like Xia Donghui. She is not beautiful, but her facial features are still quite attractive. She does not have any great abilities, but she does understand the principles.
Shen Qinghuan saw that this cousin was quite sensible, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little.
Zhou Chunmei still wanted to make trouble.
Xia Qing: "Mom! What's the difference between you and the hospital? Do you want the hospital staff to kick Dad out?"
Zhou Chunmei was also afraid, so she pulled Xia Qing aside and said, "I, I also want your father to get better..."
"I also want Dad to get better, but you're only embarrassing Qinghuan by doing this."
Zhou Chunmei glanced at Shen Qinghuan, and seeing her ugly expression, Zhou Chunmei lowered her head.
Xia Qing looked at Shen Qinghuan with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry Qinghuan, my mom was just too anxious and a little confused, that's why this happened."
Shen Qinghuan said calmly: "This is a hospital, let her be careful of the impact."
"Yes." Xia Qing responded.
Seeing that the excitement was over and seeing that Xia Qing treated Shen Qinghuan very well, the people around dispersed in boredom and went about their own business.
Shen Qinghuan looked at the dark circles under Xia Qing's eyes and thought that she probably hadn't slept well for several days because she had been taking care of her uncle all night.
She said calmly, "Come with me."
Xia Qing looked at her doubtfully, but didn't ask anything. Instead, she said to Zhou Chunmei soothingly, "Mom, you go in and look after Dad first. Qinghuan and I will go for a while."
Zhou Chunmei was a little worried, but she still listened to her daughter and went into the ward.
