Chapter 115
He heard from Shi Ye that at least half of the parents who brought their children to their hospital for autism treatment were from single-parent families, and 90% of these single-parent families were raised by mothers alone.
However, those fathers, after knowing that their children have problems, choose to give up, or even divorce, to start a new family and have healthy children.
These problematic children will become the heaviest burden in their mothers' lives.
Wen Heqing sat there dejectedly, wiping away tears. "I know this is all my own fault, and I deserve it, but I just can't accept it... Why am I so unlucky to meet such a scumbag?"
Jiang Zhinian took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Life is like this... Maybe after you get through this, when you look back in a few years, you'll feel that it's actually nothing."
Those days and nights filled with pain, the tears will eventually run dry, no matter how dark the night is, a new day will always come.
As long as you are alive and breathing, there will always be a day when you can get up.
Wen Heqing wiped away her tears, her eyes full of determination. "You're right. Didn't Concubine Xi also have a miscarriage and was banished to Ganlu Temple? From today on, I'm no longer Wen Heqing. I'm Niuhulu Heqing. I want to focus on my career and making money. I won't believe any men's lies anymore."
…
Jiang Zhinian sat on a bench outside the clinic waiting for Wen Heqing to perform surgery. She lowered her head to look at her phone. Someone passed by her and dropped a piece of paper on the ground.
She bent down to pick it up and accidentally saw the words "HPV 16 positive" on the report.
"Hello, you dropped your stuff."
The girl in front turned around as if waking up from a dream and reached out to take the thing in Jiang Zhinian's hand.
“Oh, thank you…”
When they looked up, both sides were stunned.
"Ah, it's you..." The girl hurriedly snatched the checklist from Jiang Zhinian's hand and tugged at her hair uncomfortably. "You, why are you here?"
Jiang Zhinian vaguely remembered that the girl in front of her was the classmate Xiao Qing whom she met on the road when she just moved to Shi Ye's house a few months ago.
Later, she was the one who spread nonsense in the group and was forced to apologize by Shi Ye.
"Something happened." Jiang Zhinian didn't want to say too much and just said it casually.
Xiao Qing clenched the checklist in his hand and said awkwardly, "You, you saw it all..."
Jiang Zhinian actually didn't understand the checklist. She had heard people talk about HPV before, but she had never had a deep understanding of what it was specifically about.
She didn't know why Xiao Qing was so excited, and a puzzled look appeared on her face.
"You're still playing dumb, you must have seen it..."
Jiang Zhinian didn't really want to continue paying attention to her, so he simply turned around and went back to the bench.
Xiao Qing pretended to be calm and said, "You saw it, so what? It's no big deal. I was just unlucky. I used a dirty towel when I was traveling, so I got infected. I'll just get some treatment and I'll be fine. Don't spread nonsense everywhere."
Jiang Zhinian glanced at her and asked, "Who is the one who likes to talk nonsense?"
Since college, Xiao Qing has been spreading gossip about Jiang Zhinian intentionally or unintentionally. Now that she was being ridiculed, even someone as thick-skinned as her couldn't help but blush.
"Don't worry, even if you are a bad person, it doesn't mean I want to be like you." Jiang Zhinian had no interest in spreading other people's privacy, especially talking about things like being sick.
Her only regret was that her mind wasn't quick enough and she couldn't talk back at people, otherwise she would have to say a few words to Xiao Qing to vent her anger.
"Who are you calling bad?"
"You." Jiang Zhinian looked directly into Xiao Qing's eyes without any fear. "You speak ill of me everywhere and spread false rumors. You are a terrible person. A terrible person."
Xiao Qing felt sore after being poked in the face. He wanted to jump up and down but didn't dare. He could only say aggrievedly: "I didn't know those rumors were false. Everyone was talking about it at the time, so what's wrong with me saying a few words along with them?"
She admitted that it was jealousy that was at work. Jiang Zhinian had always been the center of attention since she entered university. She was pretty and had a good personality, so many people liked her. Her presence and her brilliance made everyone around her look dim.
Therefore, when she finally got a chance to step on her, she certainly couldn't let it go. At first, she just joined in the fun and replied to the posts, but later she couldn't help but join in the carnival of spreading rumors and even making up rumors.
Everyone says so anyway, it can't be wrong.
Even if there is a mistake, it is not her fault. She was not the one who spread the rumor in the first place. She was also the one who was deceived by others.
She has lived like this with a clear conscience for so many years.
Jiang Zhinian shook his head, not wanting to argue with her anymore: "Those who like to criticize others will one day be shot into a hedgehog by the arrows they themselves shoot. This is my final advice to you, so take care of yourself."
Xiao Qing's chest ached with anger, but he didn't have the courage to refute. In the end, he could only walk away dejectedly, holding the paper in his hand.
Yes, she didn't have time to waste here with Jiang Zhinian, she had to go for further examination.
After everyone left, Jiang Zhinian slowly let out the anger she had been holding in for years. She took out her phone and searched for HPV, wanting to see what it was. After looking for a long time, only three words remained in her mind: "cervical cancer."
…
Wen Heqing was pushed to the recovery area to rest. The nurse explained some complications to pay attention to after the operation and then left.
Jiang Zhinian sat beside her, looking at the weakness on her always lively and energetic face, and for a moment he felt a little complicated.
After a while, Wen Heqing woke up in a daze and burst into tears when she saw Jiang Zhinian for the first time.
"I thought I was going to die..."
Jiang Zhinian wiped her tears: "What's wrong?"
"After the operation, the doctor said the tissue was incomplete during the examination. Then I continued to bleed. I suspected that it was not clean enough, so I scraped it again..."
She stared blankly at the ceiling. "The doctor said this is normal. As long as it's discovered and treated promptly... What do you think? Could it be that... this child doesn't want to..."
She didn't continue speaking. Seeing that she looked very bad, Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but gently hold her arm.
"Don't think too much."
Wen Heqing nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "The doctor said there might be some sequelae, such as infection, bleeding, and injury."
"These are all low-probability events. The nurse just said the operation was successful. Don't let your imagination run wild."
The nurse had just told her that some patients would develop psychological problems after surgery. Jiang Zhinian was afraid that she would get stuck in a rut, so she could only try to comfort her.
"You don't need to persuade me. Actually, I know everything. I have brought this upon myself. I'm blind, I'm stupid, I deserve it... I don't deserve to be like a nagging woman, grieving over the passing of time and gain your sympathy." She held Jiang Zhinian's hand and laughed at herself. "Don't worry, I've only missed once. I won't make the same mistake again."
