Chapter 204: Feeling Lost
It is not very convenient to take a taxi near Zijinyuan Community, so Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingning scanned the code to take a shared bicycle.
The two rode all the way and arrived at Huashan Hospital smoothly, and then rushed to the intensive care unit where Zhang Bai's mother was.
When he walked into the ward, Yu Zhiming saw his fourth sister and Zhang Bai standing on either side of the bed.
Lying on the hospital bed was a woman who was so thin and out of shape, with gray hair, and whose exact age could not be determined.
Yu Xiangwan held the woman's left hand with tears in his eyes.
The woman's right hand was tightly held by Zhang Bai on the other side of the bed.
Yu Zhiming noticed that the woman still had a heartbeat and was breathing, but was in a coma.
He took a look at the several physical indicators on the monitor and knew that Zhang Bai's mother would never wake up again.
She is already in her dying stage and now relies entirely on a ventilator and intravenous drips to maintain her body functions.
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhang Bai.
I hadn't seen him for two or three weeks. His eyes were red and swollen, and his face looked haggard and sad. He seemed to have aged ten years.
Yu Zhiming didn't say anything, but just came to the fourth sister and held her other hand.
Gu Qingning stood on the other side of Yu Xiangwan.
Zhang Bai raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, sniffed again, and said, "Doctor Yu, Gu Qingning, thank you for coming to see my mother off for the last time."
"Thank you!"
Yu Zhiming said politely, "You're welcome. I should have come. It's a pity I'm late."
He looked at his fourth sister, whose eyelashes were filled with tears.
Yu Xiangwan moved closer to him and whispered, "Auntie waited for me to come and said a few words to me before she passed out."
After a pause, she said with an embarrassed look, "Well, Lao Wu, I promised Auntie."
"I'm willing to be Zhang Bai's girlfriend."
this……
In this day and age, are there still people who entrust their children to others before dying?
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhang Bai with some hostility.
Zhang Bai's face was filled with sadness, and he stared blankly at his mother lying on the hospital bed.
"Mom, I will take good care of myself, get married and have children, work hard and make progress, and I won't let you worry anymore."
Zhang Bai looked up at Yu Xiangwan again and said pleadingly, "Xiangwan, I've prepared my mother's burial clothes."
"Can I..."
Yu Xiangwan interrupted without hesitation, "Brother Zhang, let me put on the funeral clothes for Auntie."
Yu Zhiming sighed, shook his fourth sister's hand firmly, and pulled Gu Qingning out of the ward.
"Alas, my sister has really decided on that guy Zhang Bai."
Gu Qingning speculated, "Because of wearing funeral clothes?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "According to our custom, only sons and daughters-in-law are qualified to dress the elderly in their burial clothes."
Gu Qingning uttered an "oh" and whispered, "Haven't you been urging Sister Xiangwan to get married?"
"I think Zhang Bai is a very good person. He is very filial to his mother and his character is impeccable."
"I heard he used to work as a middle manager in a fairly large company, so his abilities must be quite good."
"Looks and height are both okay."
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "I'm worried that my sister was too eager to help Zhang Bai. She felt sorry for him and offered to help him, but ended up getting herself into trouble."
"After a while, Zhang Bai will get over the pain of losing his mother and may not still recognize his sister's love."
Gu Qingning glared and said, "If he dares, let's break his legs together."
Yu Zhiming glanced at the guy and said, "Can you really force someone to do something when it comes to feelings?"
Gu Qingning snorted and said, "Sister Xiangwan is a kind-hearted person. With your help, her short-term rental business will definitely develop."
"Where can I find such a good wife? Zhang Bai must be blind to not recognize my sister's love."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "I hope everything goes well as you said."
"It's rare to see Fourth Sister fall in love, and I don't want her to end up getting emotionally hurt."
"When my fourth sister cries, it's hard to comfort her!"
"Why is it so difficult to coax her?" Gu Qingning became very curious.
Yu Zhi understood her at a glance and ignored her words...
The two waited in the corridor for more than half an hour before being called into the ward by Yu Xiangwan.
Zhang Bai's mother, lying on the hospital bed, was already dressed in a new burial suit, and even her complexion looked much better.
Zhang Bai looked at his mother on the hospital bed with a face full of grief and extreme reluctance.
His right hand pressed the switch button of the ventilator, but it was trembling and he couldn't press it.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but persuade him: "Zhang Bai, you must know how Auntie has been getting through these few days."
"It must be a painful day."
"Now, it's time for Auntie to leave."
"Let's not torture Auntie anymore and let her leave in peace."
Yu Xiangwan came to Zhang Bai and held his left hand with a concerned look on her face.
Zhang Bai looked at Yu Zhiming and Yu Xiangwan, then looked at his mother with deep nostalgia, took a deep breath, and pressed the ventilator switch.
As the ventilator stopped working, the red line indicating the heartbeat on the heart monitor quickly slowed down after a period of random beating, and soon became a straight line.
Yu Zhiming stepped forward, turned off the heart monitor, and stopped the beeping alarm.
"Xiang Wan, I don't have a mother anymore."
"Xiang Wan, I've become a motherless child..."
Zhang Bai could no longer hold back his emotions, turned around and hugged Yu Xiangwan, sobbing.
At first, he tried his best to suppress his crying, but after a while, he burst into tears.
Yu Zhiming's ears were a little painful.
He bowed respectfully three times to Zhang Bai's mother lying on the hospital bed, then walked out of the ward.
Gu Qingning also followed suit and bowed three times, left the ward, and caught up with Yu Zhiming who was leaving.
"Zhiming, are we just leaving like this? There should be a lot of things to come, right?"
Yu Zhiming continued walking, saying, "Next, either we'll send the body to a funeral home for cremation, or we'll send the body back home."
"Zhang Bai should have made all the arrangements. My sister will be there to accompany him, so we don't need to worry about it."
Gu Qingning uttered an "oh" and quickly followed Yu Zhiming without saying anything else...
After all this trouble, Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingning returned to their residence in Zijin Garden. It was already past midnight...
At six o'clock the next morning, Yu Zhiming got up on time and left the bedroom, only to find that the flip bed had not been lowered.
He knew that his fourth sister had not returned home all night, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
Yu Zhiming kept urging his fourth sister to find a boyfriend and get married as soon as possible.
But now that his fourth sister has really been found, Yu Zhiming feels uncomfortable.
The two are twins and grew up together like inseparable.
In Yu Zhiming's memory, whenever he went to unfamiliar places, places with many people and cars, and every day after school, when he went to and from school, and when he took breaks and played, it was his fourth sister who held his hand with her soft little hands.
This continued until he was fourteen years old, when he was able to see clearly and walk on his own.
From now on, Fourth Sister will hold someone else's hand...
Suddenly, Yu Zhiming's hands felt warm, and his left hand was held by a soft and warm little hand.
He shook his hand but failed to get rid of it. He turned around and took a look. Gu Qingning was wearing cartoon pajamas and had messy hair.
Gu Qingning smiled at him.
"I know you don't want Sister Xiang Wan to be taken away by someone else. After all, you are twins, and your relationship is different."
"But this day will come."
"Zhiming, I will take good care of you like a sister."
Yu Zhiming snorted, "Talking alone is useless. Let's make breakfast first..."
At half past seven, Yu Zhiming came out of the bedroom and couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw breakfast on the dining table.
Dumplings, boiled eggs, pickles, and seaweed dumpling soup.
Gu Qingning smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't prepare anything today, but I won't be so perfunctory tomorrow."
"Let's just make do with this meal today..."
Academician Tan Ying’s international medical exchange was to begin at ten o’clock in the morning, and Yu Zhiming first came to the Qi Yue Medical Research Center.
As soon as he entered the big office, Qiao Lei told him that Rao Yi's friend was already waiting for him in the examination room.
Yu Zhiming looked at the time and it was only 8:30 in the morning, which was enough time to check on one patient before the ward rounds.
He came to the examination room and saw a man with long hair tied in a ponytail and an artistic look.
It's just that this person was using a single crutch and walking with a limp, which somewhat damaged his image.
Yu Zhiming has learned that this person's name is Zhang Yue, he is 32 years old and is good at violin playing and arranging.
Zhang Yue told Yu Zhiming that his left leg was broken because he accidentally hit a lamppost while riding a motorcycle.
"Sister Yi has great respect for you, Doctor Yu."
"Your probing skills are unparalleled, but my condition is child's play in your hands..."
Yu Zhiming was in a bad mood today and glanced at Zhang Yue indifferently.
"Don't talk, just lie on the bed."
Zhang Yue could clearly feel that the overly young doctor in front of him was in a bad mood.
He closed his mouth and lay obediently on the examination bed. Then he felt a hand pressing on his left knee...
After two or three minutes, Yu Zhiming finished the inspection.
"There are indeed three small pieces of bone embedded in the left knee joint. They are small in size and have become embedded in the cartilage."
"I can take it out with a needle."
"It will be a little painful..."
Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "Doctor Yu, I'm not afraid of pain, and I also know that a short pain is worse than a long one."
Yu Zhiming smiled faintly and asked Qiao Lei to fetch the puncture needle...
After three punctures, Yu Zhiming easily removed three small pieces of bone fragments, each half the size of a grain of rice.
Seeing Zhang Yue sweating in pain, Yu Zhiming felt a sense of joy in his heart.
"Zhang Yue, there are still four small pieces of broken bones in your left calf. I can help you remove them one by one."
Zhang Yue asked timidly, "Is it still a little painful?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Local anesthesia is needed."
Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay. I won't bother two people with one thing. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Yu..."
After Yu Zhiming dealt with Zhang Yue's problem and then checked the room with Teacher Qi Yue, it was already nine forty.
He hurried to the Liver Research Center and saw Academician Tan Ying leading a dozen people chatting enthusiastically with two or three foreigners in front of the center building.
Yu Zhiming saw an acquaintance next to the foreigner.
Dr. Qiu Yi...
