Although Jing Li was mentally prepared when she saw the large bag of medicine he put under the pillow, when she heard Jing Yanting's confession, Jing Li's heartbeat still stopped uncontrollably for a moment.
No wonder, no wonder...
She was in a daze, but she still forced herself to cheer up. After she regained her composure, she reached out and held Jing Yanting in her backhand, "Dad, don't be afraid of getting sick. Medical science is so advanced now that any disease can be cured..."
I'll accompany you to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up later, okay?"
"No, there's no need..." Jing Yanting said, "Just like now, if you can call me daddy, laugh in front of daddy, and sit down and have a meal together like this, it's enough for daddy.
, it’s really enough.”
"Dad!" Jing Li squatted in front of him, "Don't be negative, don't worry, let's go see the doctor again and listen to the doctor's advice, okay? At least, you let me know what your situation is now -
Dad, don't worry. I've grown up. I'm no longer the little girl I used to be. I can bear many things... Dad, it's not easy for us to meet again. If there are any problems, let's face them together, okay?
"
She called him repeatedly, and Jing Yanting couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes, and finally nodded lightly.
Jing Li smiled softly again and said, "Let's eat first, dad. After eating, you can take a rest. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow, okay?"
Jing Yanting still just nodded.
Jing Li sniffed lightly, turned her head and looked at Huo Qiran.
Huo Qiran had already placed the lunch he had brought on the dining table, met Jing Li's gaze, and gave her a reassuring smile.
Overall, this meal was very peaceful and enjoyable.
Although Jing Li had just received such sad and heavy news, she digested it well and did not show excessive sadness or worry, as if she truly believed that a miracle would happen.
After lunch, Jing Yanting drank two bottles of beer. He was probably a little tired, so he went back to his room to rest at Jing Li's persuasion.
Jing Li sat in the living room and sorted out the things he had brought.
When I opened my duffel bag, the first thing I saw was the large bag of medicine.
Generally, hospital bags have the name of the hospital printed on them, but that bag was just an ordinary transparent plastic bag, and there were a large number of identical medicines inside. Jing Li opened the boxes one by one and read every word in the instructions.
They all read it carefully, but the words printed on several boxes actually had double images, making it impossible to see clearly——
Jing Li looked at it and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Huo Qiran returned to the house after throwing away the garbage. When he saw Jingli sitting on the floor crying, he quickly walked up to her and hugged her into his arms.
Jing Li leaned on his shoulder and cried silently for a while, then finally said in a low voice: "These medicines... are not regular medicines. Regular medicines are not prescribed like this... My father is not an ignorant woman and child, he is very knowledgeable.
He knows a lot of things that I don’t know, so he must also know that these medicines have no effect at all... But he actually buys them, buying them in big bags... Is he holding on to hope, or is he simply giving up on himself?
?”
After hearing this, Huo Qiran gently stroked the back of her head and whispered in the same low voice: "Maybe he really couldn't see hope in the past, but from today on, you are his hope."
Jing Li was startled for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
…
Early the next morning, when Jing Li accompanied Jing Yanting downstairs, Huo Qiran was already driving and waiting downstairs.
Jing Li didn't expect him to come.
"Aren't you going to the lab today?" Jing Li couldn't help but ask him, "Is this really okay?"
Huo Qiran opened the back seat door for Jing Yanting and replied with a smile: "Saturday is supposed to be a time for rest."
After Jing Li heard this, she couldn't help but gently pulled his sleeve, but Huo Qiran just squeezed her hand and urged her to get in the car quickly.
Now that the matter was over, Jing Li said nothing and accompanied Jing Yanting into the back seat of the car.
Huo Qiran was still driving the same Lexus from a few years ago and had not changed cars in the past few years. Jing Yanting was slightly surprised by this, but he didn't say anything. When he looked at Huo Qiran, his eyes softened.
Because he had registered on his mobile phone in advance, after arriving at the hospital, Huo Qiran helped find the clinic, signed in, and filled in the pre-diagnosis information. Then he returned to the rest area and waited with Jing Yanting and Jing Li to be called.
"We've all arrived at the hospital. As long as I'm here, why don't you go back to the laboratory?" Jing Li couldn't help but said to him again.
Huo Qiran just whispered, "At this time, I have to stay with you no matter what, and I won't leave at all."
Jing Li heard this and bumped him lightly with her body, but couldn't say anything else.
The morning clinic was overcrowded. Although they arrived early, there were many people far ahead of them, so they waited for a full two hours before it was Jing Yanting's turn.
After explaining the situation to the doctor, the doctor quickly issued a checklist and asked them to follow it one by one.
After completing this series of inspections and getting the report, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Huo Qiran stayed with the father and daughter throughout the whole process without any trace of impatience.
After reading the report, the doctor looked solemn and immediately arranged for hospitalization to prepare for more in-depth examinations.
However, Jing Yanting refused.
In front of Jing Li and Huo Qiran, he said to the doctor: "Doctor, the reason why I came for these examinations today is to let my daughter know what is going on with me. You actually know what I am like.
There is no need to be hospitalized."
"How can we determine your condition if we haven't done any follow-up examinations yet?" the doctor said, "We will wait until all the examinations that need to be done are completed."
"I'm not in the hospital." Jing Yanting said directly, "If I have that time, I might as well... spend more time with my daughter."
"Dad..." Jing Li looked at him, "You promised me, you promised to let me know your condition, but now the doctors say they can't be sure. You can't use these data to convince me..."
Huo Qiran couldn't help but said: "Uncle, we can wait until the detailed examination results come out, okay?"
After all, Jing Yanting was defeated again.
When arranging hospitalization, Jing Li specifically asked the hospital to arrange a single ward. But when Jing Yanting saw the single ward, he turned to look at Jing Li and asked: "Why do you have to live in such a ward? One day
How much does it cost? How much money can you afford to spend?"
"I have a lot of money." Jing Li just looked at him and smiled, "Dad, don't worry, I can make money. The most important thing is that you live comfortably."
She answered Jing Yanting like this, but Huo Qiran saw her secretly checking the balance of her bank card where Jing Yanting couldn't see her.
