What came from the corridor was the voice of a middle-aged woman with a somewhat sad tone.
Lin Chen and Zhou Ruoyun turned around and saw a plainly dressed middle-aged woman pleading to a nurse.
"Head nurse, please give us a little more time! We will definitely get the money together!"
But the head nurse in front of her said with a cold face: "Patients' families, you already owe 100,000 in medical expenses. The hospital gave you time, but you kept delaying it. Now it's too late for you to say anything."
If you can't make up the payment within today, not to mention that your daughter's transplant operation won't be possible, and the hospital will have to stop her medication."
"We don't want to either! But because of Wenwen's illness, we have spent all our family savings! Head nurse, please, please talk to the hospital leaders for us and see if they can be accommodating!
"
"I'm sorry, we are being very lenient by allowing you to delay until now. This is your last chance before five o'clock this afternoon. You have time to bother me, so why not hurry up and find someone to borrow money."
With that said, the head nurse broke free from the middle-aged woman's hands and left with a stunned face.
But the middle-aged woman who was left behind was kneeling on the ground, holding her head and crying.
"That's..."
When Lin Chen saw the middle-aged woman, he always felt that she looked familiar.
Zhou Ruoyun sighed: "She's Xu Wenwen's mother. Do you still remember Xu Wenwen?"
"It's that child."
Of course Lin Chen remembered that Xu Wenwen was a patient who lived in the same ward as Mrs. Lin.
Xu Wenwen was also a poor child. She was already suffering from leukemia when she was less than ten years old and had to stay in the hospital day and night.
For her, Xu Wenwen's family, like Lin Chen, spent every last cent of their money and worked part-time outside day and night, just to keep Xu Wenwen alive until the day the bone marrow matching hers appeared.
At this time, Zhou Ruoyun continued to say: "The bone marrow that matches the child was found a few days ago, but their family can no longer afford the surgery, and before that, Xu Wenwen's medical expenses were already in arrears for several months.
Months later, I heard that it was because her father also collapsed from exhaustion. Xu Wenwen's mother had to take care of Xu Wenwen and her father by herself, and she had to work to make money, and she could no longer hold on."
Xu Wenwen's mother was wailing in the hospital corridor, and Xu Wenwen in the ward naturally heard it.
After a while, I saw a little girl with a bare head and a pale face walking out of the ward step by step.
This little girl is none other than Xu Wenwen.
She walked to her mother's side and hugged her while crying: "Mom, I won't treat the disease anymore, let's go home!"
Hearing this, Xu's mother cried even more sadly.
The crying of the mother and daughter naturally attracted the attention of many people. They gathered around, asked each other, and then shook their heads in regret.
Although everyone sympathizes with Xu Wenwen's experience, the medical expenses of hundreds of thousands are, after all, a huge amount of money. Not everyone can afford this money. Even if everyone wants to help, they are unable to do so.
Lin Chen looked at the appearance of the Xu family's mother and daughter, feeling sad in his heart, and naturally thought of himself back then.
At that time, when he knew that his mother could undergo surgery but could not afford the medical expenses, he was as desperate as the Xu family's mother and daughter. Otherwise, how could he agree to Gu Luolan's conditions?
After all, all this is caused by lack of money and is all the fault of money!
no!
We can't let our tragedy happen again.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen abandoned Zhou Ruoyun and walked towards the Xu family's mother and daughter.
"Xu Wenwen, do you still remember me?"
Bending down, Lin Chen smiled at Xu Wenwen.
When Xu Wenwen, who was crying, heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Lin Chen, a look of surprise flashed in her big watery eyes.
"Lin, brother Lin Chen? Is it you?"
Although Xu Wenwen had not completely stopped crying, she had already recognized Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled and touched Xu Wenwen's head and said, "Don't cry. Big brother will help you with your family's affairs."
After saying that, Lin Chen looked at Xu's mother who also stopped crying because of surprise.
"Auntie, how much does Wenwen's illness cost? I'll pay for it for you."
"Lin Chen!"
At this time, Zhou Ruoyun rushed over, grabbed Lin Chen, and whispered: "Lin Chen, are you crazy? Do you know how much it is? Without seven or eight hundred thousand, Xu Wenwen's surgery cannot be performed! And there are still
The cost of various post-operative treatments is not a small figure!"
"It's okay, I can afford it." Lin Chen said calmly.
Zhou Ruoyun's eyes widened and he said anxiously: "Lin Chen! I know you are different now than you were in the past, but all your money belongs to other people! Do you think your wife wouldn't blame you if she knew you used money like this?
You?"
Although Zhou Ruoyun didn't know all the truth about Lin Chen's marriage to the Gu family, he could probably tell that there was something hidden in it.
This can be seen from the fact that Lin Chen still wore shabby clothes after getting married, and Lin's mother even used the cheapest anti-rejection medicine.
Lin Chen's married life is definitely not as good as outsiders think.
Just as Lin Chen was about to explain, he saw the head nurse who had left before suddenly walking over with a security guard.
She said to Xu's mother with a cold face: "I'm sorry, this is a public place. If you want to cry, go cry outside!"
As she said that, she winked at the security guard, who immediately stepped forward and started to pull Xu's mother up from the ground.
"stop!"
At this moment, Lin Chen stepped in front of the security guard.
"Don't you want money? I'll pay for Xu Wenwen's medical expenses on her behalf."
"You?!" The head nurse was stunned for a moment, and then she discovered something.
"Aren't you Yang Li's son, Lin Chen?"
The head nurse recognized Lin Chen, but then a disdainful sneer appeared in her eyes.
"Are you paying for her? Do you know how much she needs to pay? In addition to the 100,000 that her family owed the hospital before, there is also the cost of the subsequent transplant surgery of 75, plus the post-operative hospitalization and medical expenses. I calculate
One million is for the least! Can you afford it?"
Faced with the head nurse's suspicion, Lin Chen took out his bank card without saying a word and put it into her hand: "You will know if you can afford it or not."
The head nurse looked down at the bank card in her hand: "Okay! Come with me!"
With that said, the head nurse walked towards the checkout counter on this floor.
Lin Chen smiled at Xu's mother who was completely stunned and said, "Just wait here, I will settle the bill for you right away."
Then, he followed.
After a while, Lin Chen came to the counter, signed and confirmed, and swiped his card.
During this period, the head nurse sneered the whole time. She didn't believe that Lin Chen could really spend so much money.
She knew the situation at Lin Chen's family as well as Zhou Ruoyun. How could someone who couldn't even afford imported medicine for his mother afford the Xu family's one million?
