Song Qiao had laughed enough, bent down and kissed both of them on the face, finally comforting them, and then she took out the cake she bought in advance, "Xiaotang and Qiqi will be three years old after their birthdays, think about it quickly What are your wishes?"
Qiqi loves sweets the most. When she saw the cake, her eyes lit up and she couldn't move away.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Shen Zhinan's voice came from behind. He was holding a paper bag in his hand and smiling.
Song Qiao was surprised and quickly turned sideways and said, "How could it be possible? Does Dr. Shen have something to explain?"
Shen Zhinan handed the paper bag to Song Qiao and explained, "Yesterday, I heard Qiqi say that today is her and her brother's birthday, so I wanted to come over and give some gifts."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaotang and Qiqi, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you Dr. Shen!" they both said in unison.
Song Qiao didn't expect that he would prepare a gift specially, "I'm really troubling you."
She didn't look at it carefully, and handed the bag directly to Qiqi and Xiaotang. The former couldn't wait, and after quickly opening it, she shouted "Wow".
"It's my favorite Barbie doll!" She immediately hugged her tightly with joy.
As for Xiaotang's book, it was a book on computing and programming. He was obviously very happy. The book Shen Zhinan sent was an out-of-print book. He searched many places but could not buy it.
Xiaotang raised his head and looked at Shen Zhinan with bright eyes, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Shen Zhinan smiled gently and said, "As long as you like it."
Song Qiao felt even more embarrassed when she saw that the gifts he sent had accurately hit the two little guys' preferences. He was just Qiqi's attending doctor, and he had prepared the gifts with more care than she did.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Qiqi, please take care of me during this period. If I have a chance another day, I'll treat you to a meal."
Xu was reminded by these words, and she hurriedly said, "Dr. Shen, can you stay with me to celebrate my birthday?"
"My mother and Grandma An used to accompany us. You are the first friend I invited."
Qiqi's eyes were full of expectations. She had watched a lot of TV shows where children would invite many people to their homes to play on their birthdays.
It's a pity that she was in poor health and never had the chance.
Shen Zhinan looked at Song Qiao and saw no objection from her, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay."
"Great!" Qiqi's face was full of excitement.
It was said to be a birthday, but in fact it was just a simple matter of lighting a candle and making a wish. After all, Qiqi was currently being hospitalized and there were many things she couldn't eat.
Xiaotang also took the initiative to follow Jikou in order to accompany her.
As night fell outside the window, Song Qiao lit candles and sang happy birthday to them softly. In the swaying candlelight, Qiqi clasped her little hands together and said softly, "I hope mom won't be so tired this year."
Xiaotang glanced at her side face and looked back lightly, "I hope the fool around me will recover soon." After saying that, probably because he felt embarrassed, he muttered and added, "Otherwise, it will all be in trouble."
Qiqi's hair suddenly exploded, and she rushed towards him with her teeth and claws bared, "Song Xiaotang, who are you calling trouble!"
"Who else besides you?"
Xiaotang dodges with difficulty, and is afraid that Qiqi will fall, so he always protects his body by the bed. He looks at his sister's fresh face, and the smile on his lips never goes away.
Song Qiao was watching the show happily.
While they were laughing and joking, Qiqi's figure suddenly stiffened, and then she lay down beside the bed, her face turning pale. Song Qiao was suddenly startled, got up and rushed over.
"Qiqi, Qiqi, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Zhinan reacted quickly and immediately laid Qiqi down, took out a stethoscope to check her, and performed cardiac resuscitation on her at the same time.
A few minutes later, Qiqi's ugly face finally recovered, but her energy seemed to have been drained away just now. She looked at Song Qiao sadly and said, "Mom, I'm fine."
After I finished speaking, I was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so I deliberately exaggerated my tone and said, "My health is fine. When I recover, I can beat three Song Xiaotangs."
Xiaotang stood nearby and retorted, "You were defeated by me just yesterday."
Qiqi said anxiously, "That was yesterday. After my birthday today, I will definitely be even more powerful!" She waved her hand towards the small hall, "Just wait, when I grow up to be an adult, I will definitely kill you with one finger."
Push down."
Xiaotang stood still, looking at Qiqi's pale face, gritted his teeth and said, "Then if you have the ability, grow up first."
Qiqi, "I definitely will!"
After she swore, she seemed a little sleepy. She leaned against the pillow and whispered, "But, I have to take a nap now to recharge my chickens. Don't disturb me."
"Idiot, that's obviously just to recharge your batteries." Xiaotang laughed at her.
But seeing Qiqi falling asleep quickly, his eyes turned red. He pursed his lips, held Song Qiao's finger for a moment, and then asked, "Mom, Qiqi will be fine, right?"
Song Qiao felt sour in her heart that she couldn't bear it. She bent down and assured Xiaotang, "I will, I swear."
"Well." Xiaotang rubbed his eyes, sat in front of the bed and said to her, "Mom, go and do your work. I can just keep watch over Qiqi here."
He knew that Song Qiao had to work hard to earn money to treat Qiqi's illness, so he never complained and even showed consideration and stability beyond his years.
Song Qiao felt as if needles were pricking her, but there was really nothing she could do.
She said a few words to the small hall and left the ward with Shen Zhinan.
The moment the door was closed, the strength he had built up in front of the child instantly fell apart. Song Qiao seemed to have had all his energy drained from his body, and he was unable to lean against the wall.
"Are you okay?" Shen Zhinan looked worried.
Song Qiao cheered up, looked at him sideways and shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little scared."
Qiqi fell so suddenly just now, she was afraid that she would never be able to open her eyes again.
Shen Zhinan looked around and walked quickly to the water dispenser not far away. After a while, he came back with a cup of warm water and handed it to Song Qiao, "Drink some water first."
He looked at Song Qiao's bloodless face, feeling a little pity in his heart.
During this period, Shen Zhinan had more or less heard some of her experiences from her two children. He also knew how she struggled to survive abroad and how she struggled to move forward.
Perhaps it was the benevolence of a doctor, or his pity for the weak, that when he faced Song Qiao, he always wanted to lend a helping hand.
Shen Zhinan went through all the thoughts in his mind and said, "The biggest problem regarding the treatment at present is that the surgery fee and matching bone marrow have not been found yet. If you don't mind, I can advance the medical expenses first."
"But for bone marrow matching, we still need to wait for another opportunity."
Song Qiao was in a daze, and the sounds in his ears seemed to be separated by a thin film, but Shen Zhinan's words still entered his mind intermittently.
She turned back suddenly and looked at the other person in surprise. After a long time, she asked, "What is your... purpose?"
