Li You could barely stand still, his body was shaky and he looked like he would fall down at any moment.
Pei Jingzhou stepped forward to support her, bending the joints and tightening his grip on her forearm to prevent her body from losing support and falling to the ground.
She relied on Pei Jingzhou's support to support her, turned to look at Li's father who was standing on one side, and asked hoarsely: "Mom, what's wrong with her?"
Li Huaisheng said: "Your mother is fine."
Li You's voice was hoarse than before, and he spoke faster: "Dad, I've already arrived at the hospital, so don't hide it from me, okay?"
Faced with her choked-up questioning, Li Huaisheng still told Li You nothing, and only said: "Go in and see her first."
After speaking, Li Huaisheng said to Pei Jingzhou who was beside Li You: "Take good care of her."
"Yeah." Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Li You didn't understand why her father still refused to tell her anything at this moment, even though she had already come to the hospital.
But her father didn't say anything. She couldn't question him hysterically. Her mother's illness was not her only pain. Her heart ached more for her father...
After Li You entered the ward, Li Huaisheng did not follow him in. There was an indescribable sadness in his eyes, and he stared at the glass on the door of the ward for a long time...
The large ward was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant. There was an electrocardiograph placed at the head of the bed, which made a beeping sound from time to time. Mo Zhu, who was lying on the bed wearing a ventilator, was sleeping deeply at the moment.
Li You didn't make a sound as he walked towards the bed.
She stood quietly by the bed, just looking at her mother's sleeping face. Pei Jingzhou did not disturb her and stayed with her quietly.
I don't know how long it took.
Mo Zhu woke up faintly, opened her tired eyes, and vaguely saw two figures standing next to her hospital bed. She pressed her lips together several times, as if she wanted to say something, and a thin layer of ventilator was quickly placed on the ventilator.
fog.
Li You saw his mother waking up, leaned down and said, "Mom, it's me."
Mo Zhu blinked slightly, which meant that she was awake now and knew that the person talking to her at this moment was Li You.
Li You's voice sounded heavy: "Do you want to drink water?"
Mo Zhu shook his head slightly, the movement was very small, and Li You could understand it. But after seeing her mother wake up, she always wanted to do something or say something. The words were on her lips, but her throat was so dry that she couldn't even say them.
Swallowed it back.
Mo Zhu saw her daughter's worried look, and the corners of her lightly pursed lips raised a little, using this smile to show that she was fine.
But this didn't comfort Li You. She shook her head and said, "How could it be okay? You were suddenly admitted to the hospital. You didn't even tell me anything before, and you hid it from me with your father..."
The more she spoke, the more choked up she became: "You were fine before I went out this morning, but you still asked me what I wanted to eat at night..."
She tried not to cry, but she couldn't suppress her choking voice, and she would cry in the next second.
The corners of Mo Zhu's lips moved, trying to make a sound, but it seemed difficult to make a sound under the ventilator.
Li You was so anxious when he saw this that he stopped saying those words and quickly stopped him: "Mom, don't talk yet. You need to have a good rest."
After saying that, Li You remembered her father who was still outside the ward door, and she quickly said to her mother: "Mom, I'm going to tell my father that you're awake."
Mo Zhu blinked slightly: OK.
Li You could tell that her mother also wanted to see her father, so she stood up hurriedly, and as soon as she took a step forward, Pei Jingzhou, who had been standing behind her, grabbed her wrist: "Just stay with my aunt, I will inform my uncle..."
"No!" Li You interrupted Pei Jingzhou.
She raised her face and looked at Pei Jingzhou with a firm tone: "I'm going to tell dad that mom is awake."
Pei Jingzhou looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and let go of Li You's wrist, letting her go out.
Outside the ward door.
Li Huaisheng sat quietly on the waiting chair against the wall. He maintained the same posture for a long time, until his body seemed a little stiff, but he did not adjust his posture at all. The soul seemed to have been taken out of his body, and he remained motionless like a statue.
Until Li You slowly walked to his side and called softly: "...Dad."
Li Huaisheng came back to his senses when he heard Li You's voice. He followed the sound and looked at Li You beside him. His facial expression that had been stiff for a long time softened slightly the moment he saw Li You. He asked, "Yes?"
Isn’t it your mother who’s awake?”
Li You nodded: "Well, mom is already awake."
After hearing this, Li Huaisheng slowly stood up.
I don’t know if it was because I sat in one position for too long that I was almost too unsteady when I stood up. Li You’s eyes quickly stretched out his hands to help him, but Li Huaisheng barely stood up and then waved his hand and said: “No need to help, your dad, I haven’t even reached the age of seven or eighty.”
To the point where I have to be supported when I get up.”
If Li Huaisheng usually said such words, he would definitely say them in the most relaxed tone and in a joking tone.
But at this moment, when Li You heard this sentence, every word sounded so heavy.
Li Huaisheng raised his feet and was about to walk into the ward. Li You stood there and stopped him and asked, "Dad, mom, what's wrong with her?"
Li Huaisheng paused at his feet.
Seeing this, Li You stepped forward, stood beside Li Huaisheng and asked again: "Mom, what's wrong with her?"
Li Huaisheng looked sideways at Li You. At this moment, Li You saw an expression of neither sadness nor joy on her father's face. She had never seen such an expression on her father's face since she grew up.
Time passed by second by second.
Just when Li You thought her father would still tell him nothing, she heard his hoarse words——
"It's leukemia."
These four short words were like five thunderbolts to Li You.
The truth she desperately wanted to know was right in front of her without warning, and she realized that she was at a loss and powerless even in the face of the truth.
But at this moment, apart from shock, the only thing left was disbelief.
"How is this possible..." She shook her head, not believing the truth she heard from her father.
However, Li Huaisheng did not give her a more definite answer and entered the ward in silence, leaving Li You alone and helpless.
She shook her head in front of the air, once, twice, three times... until the tears filled in her eyes fell silently, and large ones fell down.
She took a breath and said to herself: "No, it must be a misdiagnosis, it must be...how could it be leukemia? Mom's body has always been so healthy, how could it be possible..."
She didn't want to believe this absurd truth.
She convinced herself that it was a misdiagnosis! It must be a misdiagnosis!!
She immediately turned to the doctor.
She didn't know where the doctor's office was, so she asked as she walked. Finally, she found out that the doctor's office was at the end of the corridor. As soon as she entered the office, she asked loudly -
