Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan first went to Zhang Heping's office, but when they found he wasn't there, they waited in the office for more than half an hour.
But when Shen Yanming actually met Zhang Heping, he felt that Zhang Heping was a completely different person.
The once handsome and energetic young man has almost turned into a thin and melancholy middle-aged man.
Looking at the bloodshot eyes, the shadows on the eyelids, and the thin, frail figure, Shen Yanming felt a pang of heartache.
How busy must someone be to be worn down like this?
However, Shen Yanming didn't say much, since most of the doctors and nurses he saw since he entered the hospital looked like this.
After greeting Zhang Heping with a smile, he took out the things he had brought for him.
"Qiao An and I brought you some snacks. Eat as much as you like when you have free time. Don't be stingy. I'll bring you more when you've finished them."
Shen Yanming took out dried fruit, milk curds, coffee beans, dried meat, and honey one by one. Then he took out two boxes of chocolates from Qiao An's bag, and Bi Qiao An handed over the thermos she was holding.
The decision to give him chocolate was made on the spur of the moment. He noticed that Zhang Heping had lost a lot of weight and thought that he might not even have time to eat when he was busy. He wanted to leave him some high-energy food so that he could have something to eat when he was hungry.
The thermos was a last-minute decision. It was because after seeing the chicken soup I brought for Grandpa Lin in the morning, I felt I couldn't neglect one thing, so I took out a lotus root and pork rib soup from my space and brought it to Zhang Heping.
"Why did you bring me so much? It'll last me a long time!" Zhang Heping accepted it with a smile without any pretense.
"Yeah, you haven't been back in ages. And you love eating these things, so you must have finished all the ones you brought with you before, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, sob sob, Mingming, you're so good to me!" Zhang Heping said, reaching out to hug Shen Yanming, but Shen Yanming pretended to be disgusted and pushed Zhang Heping away, though his lips and eyes were full of smiles.
"You're so tired every day, you need to take care of yourself. Make sure you use the spices every day, and drink a cup of honey every day, it's good for your health!" Shen Yanming instructed.
"Okay, I understand. Shall we go see Grandpa Lin?" Zhang Heping was very touched, but he didn't know how to express it, so he could only change the subject and ask.
Shen Yanming nodded. "If it's convenient, I'll go take a look."
"It's convenient. I spoke with Mr. Lin's son yesterday, and he said there was no problem. However, you should be prepared that the experience might not be pleasant."
Shen Yanming nodded, "I know, I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye when I passed by some wards just now."
Shen Yanming was telling the truth. He knew before he went to the hospital that those infected with the HZ virus were definitely not good-looking.
Come to think of it, if all those photos and videos online have to be blurred out, how bad must the real situation be? It must be disgusting enough to make people want to vomit!
So Shen Yanming told Bi Qiaoan to lower her head or close her eyes. He held Bi Qiaoan's hand tightly and walked forward without looking to the side, but he still accidentally saw some things.
At that moment, Shen Yanming really wanted to wash his eyes, because he couldn't stand it and didn't know how the doctors and nurses could endure it.
Shen Yanming couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he was quick-witted enough to make his wife lower her head and squint her eyes. Otherwise, he was afraid that his wife would vomit on the spot and be left with psychological trauma.
But the two of them still need to go see Grandpa Lin later. They can't keep their heads down when they see him, can they? Sigh...
Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan's hand and followed behind Zhang Heping.
Because Mr. Lin was a highly respected traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital, the hospital arranged a private room for him, and the conditions were quite good in all aspects.
Zhang Heping walked to the ward door, knocked, waited for a while, and then pushed the door open and entered.
There was no one else in the ward except the old man lying on the bed. Although he couldn't move, he was still conscious, but his breathing was very weak.
From the moment Zhang Heping knocked on the door, Shen Yanming covered Bi Qiaoan's eyes with his hand. Bi Qiaoan did not refuse because she was indeed a little scared.
Shen Yanming had been mentally preparing himself, but when he saw the old man, he was still shocked and gasped.
My God, is this even human? It's practically a pile of human-shaped rotten flesh!
If it weren't for the fact that it had limbs and a torso, and if it weren't for the faint breathing, Shen Yanming wouldn't have believed that it was a person, let alone a living person!
In an instant, Shen Yanming's eyes reddened. Where had the old man who used to love to joke gone? He was lying there, barely clinging to life!
Old Master Lin assumed it was his son or Zhang Heping who had come in, so he didn't pay much attention. He just lazily raised his eyelids, but when he saw that it was Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, he opened his mouth excitedly.
But it hurt so much that he couldn't speak.
Looking at the old man, Shen Yanming's voice choked with emotion, "I just heard about your illness and came to see you. Are you alright?"
Shen Yanming knew he was in a bad mood, so that was just a polite greeting. Before Old Master Lin could respond, Shen Yanming said to himself, "We're late. You see, you can't even talk to us anymore."
But hey, Joan and I brought you some chicken soup. We simmered it for a long time, and it smells amazing!
Look how wonderful this world is! You can't just give up like that. Once you're better, Qiao An and I will make you roast duck, lamb skewers, and pizza.
When Shen Yanming saw that Old Master Lin was looking at Bi Qiaoan, he explained, "She's timid. I was afraid you would frighten her, so I covered her eyes. Please don't blame her."
Old Master Lin knew his own situation, so he didn't blame Shen Yanming for what he said. However, his eyes lost their luster and became cloudy and dim.
Shen Yanming noticed this change and said, "So, you need to get better quickly. Qiao An hasn't given birth yet. Don't you want to see our baby born?"
Bi Qiaoan chimed in at the opportune moment: "That's right, Grandpa Lin, I don't feel safe at all during my pregnancy without you here, so please hang in there, okay?"
A tear slid down Old Master Lin's cheek. He never expected that after so many years as a doctor, there would actually be a patient who would risk danger to come see this old man, especially when he was in a state of utter insecurity.
He was so moved that he really didn't want to die anymore.
Grandpa Lin silently uttered a "good," but he was too weak; even when his lips moved, the movement was very small.
Shen Yanming, who had been watching closely, naturally noticed the situation. He smiled and said to Old Master Lin, "Since you've promised, you must keep your word!"
Before I came here, I had inquired and found out that the research institute already had the drug, but it was still in the clinical trial stage. It would be able to be promoted after the clinical trial was completed.
So, victory is within reach, you can't give up halfway!
