"The problem remains the same: surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the greater the risk. Ideally, it should be done within three months. However, the patient's physical indicators are not up to standard, so the treatment plan needs to be adjusted. We hope that the patient's family will cooperate fully."
After the doctor finished speaking, the nurses explained the medication. Besides some changes in the medication, they hoped that the patient would be mentally prepared and that the will to survive was also very important. But when they looked at this patient, they were slowly becoming numb.
She was very cooperative, too cooperative, to the point that it felt like she was giving up entirely.
Aunt Lan sighed and returned after seeing the person out of the ward. Yun Nuan sat there, looking out the window without saying a word.
Her face had become thinner again. It had taken her almost two months to regain the weight she had gained, but this illness had brought her back to her original state, even worse than before.
"Let's stop watching for now and get something to eat, okay?"
Qin Yan spun his wheelchair to stand in front of her. Following her gaze, he saw only the shade of trees and swaying branches—a common sight.
"Do you think the weather will be this nice the day I die?" The hoarse voice was flat, the expression unchanged, very calm, like a stagnant pool.
"Don't talk nonsense. Take your medicine and rest well. After your surgery, I'll take you to see the aurora borealis, whales, and the Great Migration. Whatever you want to do, I'll take you. Or you can go by yourself. As long as you're safe, you can do whatever you want." Qin Yan composed himself, trying his best to paint a picture of the world he longed for with a smile.
Aunt Lan quietly wiped away her tears, turned her back to compose herself, then stepped forward to take out the food, jokingly saying...
"Yes, Nuannuan, don't think too much. Medical care is so advanced now, you will definitely get better. Have you forgotten who Mr. Qin is? He will definitely hire the best medical team for you. Don't worry, let's just eat now."
In just a few days, the light in her eyes diminished considerably, and her whole being became dim and devoid of any luster.
"Why are you all more worried than I am? Death would be a relief for me." She turned to look at them, and because of her words, the ward became unusually quiet. No one looked away, and no one responded to her.
Aunt Lan turned her head stiffly and picked up the cup next to her.
"Um, I'll go get some hot water. This water's all cold; I'll catch a cold if I drink it later."
He picked up a small table from the side, which wasn't very convenient, but he still put it down. Then he picked up the vegetable soup that Aunt Lan had just ladled out, blew on it, and brought it to her lips.
"Let's discuss it after we finish eating."
The spoon was placed right next to her mouth, but she didn't open her mouth; she just watched silently. Qin Yan gestured again, as it was very inconvenient for him to be in a wheelchair.
He was only able to bring the drink to her lips because of his height and long arms, without any impatience, as if he could keep holding it up as long as she didn't drink it.
She opened her mouth and drank it.
He scooped a spoonful, she drank a spoonful, and then they poured the nutritious porridge. The strange harmony didn't seem to bother Qin Yan.
This is a high-class ward, with a sofa, a coffee table, and even an office desk. Presumably, Qin Yan arranged all of these.
She never expected to receive such good treatment at the end of her life, and she had to thank Qin Yan, who had the heart of a bodhisattva.
If there is an afterlife, she will definitely repay the other party by serving him like a slave; but in this life, it's over, there's no hope in this life.
When Aunt Lan returned with hot water and saw that she had drunk all the porridge, a smile finally appeared on her face. After tidying up the room, she told her to get some rest.
After the two left the room, she silently went to the bathroom and vomited up everything she had just eaten. Her stomach couldn't accept any food at all; even a tiny bit would cause her excruciating pain.
"The ground is cold, get up quickly."
A voice devoid of emotion sounded from behind her. Qin Yan brought warm water to her lips and rinsed them, then gently wiped her lips with a tissue.
He showed no disgust whatsoever, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't criticize her for vomiting after eating.
After explaining the situation to the doctor, he arranged other medications for her. He stayed in the office area all night, checking on her whenever she made a slight movement. He was even more sensitive and proactive than Aunt Lan, despite being in a wheelchair.
During his week-long hospital stay, Jiang Miao, Lin Yu, Guan Mingyue, and others visited him, but the people who entertained him were Aunt Lan and Qin Yan, or Assistant Wen. These people came for three consecutive days.
The first thing they saw was Yun Nuan vomiting violently and then getting an injection. She couldn't say a word. In the following days, she felt a little better, but she still couldn't eat much and didn't have the strength to talk to them.
The others didn't dare to disturb her easily, so they just stood aside and watched Qin Yan coax her to take her medicine. There was so much medicine, it was practically enough to eat as a meal.
It wasn't so much coaxing as meticulous care. Qin Yan, who had difficulty walking, was fed, her hair dried, and her medications remembered.
She cares about it more than she does herself.
Today was a rare rainy day, and the sound of raindrops pattering outside had been waking her up since morning.
This was the first rainy day she'd encountered since she'd been here. It was still early, and the sounds outside were faint. She reached out to touch the raindrops falling from the eaves; they felt cool and refreshing.
Outside the window is a clump of bamboo. Its slender leaves refuse to fall no matter how much the rain beats down on them, and the bamboo becomes even greener after being washed by the rain.
"It's cool outside, come and wash up before having breakfast."
Qin Yan had already come up behind her. His mood had been like this for the past few days: calm and expressionless. He used to smile, but his expression hadn't changed in the past few days.
Yun Nuan felt a little sad, but this sadness was inexplicable and she couldn't figure it out. She looked at Qin Yan with some grievance.
She thought that Qin Yan was starting to get tired of her. This wasn't surprising. Her parents had abandoned her in the hospital to fend for herself, and they hadn't been able to hold out for very long. Qin Yan had only known her for a few months; it was already enough that he had endured her for so long.
She should be content. After convincing herself, she went to wash up and came back to find that there was already a delicious meal laid out on her bed.
This time, she didn't need Qin Yan's help; she drank the nutritious porridge herself. She couldn't trouble others anymore; she was already a burden and shouldn't cause any more trouble for others.
Qin Yan's eyes clearly began to change. He was surprised by her change and thought that she had finally figured things out on her own, so he became more talkative.
"The doctor said you can be discharged and go home to rest. Your diet needs to be changed a bit. This time it was because you caught a cold. I'm sorry, this time it was my fault."
