220 I wish to exchange my life for your well-being
I helped Xu Cheng and sat down. The fairy and Lao Liu were sitting together. The old man had already brewed tea on his own. This guy was really addicted to tea and did it himself when he saw a tea set.
Xu Cheng said: No, gastroscopy and x-ray barium meal test were diagnosed with gastric cancer. The examination was still in progress. It has been several months since now. I don’t know if it is in the late stage. I haven’t taken medicine and feel that my health is getting worse and worse.
The old man knows some medical skills, but he is helpless about this serious illness. The old man said: According to my opinion, he still has to go to the hospital for a look. This matter is not careless. Xu Cheng, stop delaying it. Listen to Uncle Gao, go to the hospital?
Xu Cheng still couldn't let go of the destruction of the Gao family. He said to the old man apologetically: I was too radical in the matter of the Gao family after thinking about it. Uncle Gao, I'm sorry, it was really not my original intention to destroy the Gao family's foundation for so many years, but... hey...
The old man waved his hand and said: The mall is like a battlefield, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, and you don’t have to worry too much. What’s more, I have made other arrangements for the Gao family, and everything is within my plan. You are now in the past, so don’t give up the idea of survival easily. Listen to the words of my predecessors and actively treat them. According to my shallow numerology techniques, your fate is not over.
The authoritative nature of what the old man said is self-evident. He had long said that I was destined to have a child, and now I am indeed pregnant. When the fairy heard the old man say this, she immediately sat down and took Xu Cheng's hand and said: Acheng, look, the old man has said this. Let's accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.
The fairy sat next to Xu Cheng, Xiaozhi comforted her with reason and affection for a long time. I didn't say a word, but just took Xu Cheng's hand and placed it on my lower abdomen, and then I held his hand tightly. He finally agreed to the request to go to the hospital for a review.
The fairy cooked him a white porridge, which was very soft and glutinous. Shortly after he ate a small bowl, he started to have abdominal pain again. He covered his stomach, and the expression on his face was particularly entangled and painful. He said: That's it, it's like this after every time he eats. Don't worry about me. It will be relieved after an hour or two.
I burst into tears when I saw it, and I said: Why are you so stupid? Even if you take some medicine to relieve the pain, why don’t you take any medicine?
He smiled bitterly and said: A man is a real man, what is this little pain? I can tolerate it, I can hold on.
While helping him sweat, I said: If you are sick, you will hold on. This is a hero, not a real hero. A real hero should be brave enough to treat positive diseases.
Beads of sweat as big as beans emerged from his head. I knew he was very uncomfortable, but I still couldn't help but blame him. At this moment, I wish I could take the pain on his behalf.
He said: Didn’t I agree to you to go for a review tomorrow? Although I know the result must be another disappointment, I am willing to try it for you. In fact, I am actually very afraid of going to the hospital. I once witnessed the deaths of my grandfather, uncle and father in the hospital. They all have the same symptoms and cannot be cured. No matter how much money I spend, it is useless.
I twisted a towel and kept rubbing the sweat on his forehead. I said: Gastric ulcers are easily misdiagnosed as gastric cancer. I believe what the old man said, I won’t believe that God will be willing to take you away at this time. What if it is really a stomach ulcer? If you continue like this, acute becomes chronic and chronic becomes cancerous. Only then will you regret it.
After struggling until midnight, his pain finally slowly eased. I held his hand and hummed a song to him gently. He fell asleep in pain. I looked at his thin face, deep eye sockets, and the skin on his face was loose and covered with fine lines. He looked sick and felt heartbroken again.
I turned off the lights and went downstairs. The fairy, Lao Liu and the old man were not asleep yet. They sat on the sofa in the living room drinking tea while talking about Xu Cheng's condition.
Seeing me come down, the fairy immediately came over and said: How is Xu Cheng? Isn't it better?
I nodded and said: It hurt for more than an hour, and now I am asleep.
The old man said: I called an old friend and he said that the symptoms of chronic gastric ulcer are very similar to those of gastric cancer, and it is easy to be diagnosed as gastric cancer in clinical practice. He recommended me an expert in this field. In Shanghai, we have to accompany Xu Cheng to Shanghai tomorrow. Don’t worry about registration, I will handle this.
I nodded, he looked at me, and then said: I've been tired for a day, hurry up and go to bed. We'll set off tomorrow morning.
The fairy said: I'll go to bed with you. The three of us are short-sleeping, so sit here and chat.
I said: No, I will sleep with Xu Cheng. You guys chat, don’t chat too late.
I went upstairs again and lay gently beside Xu Cheng. I thought he was asleep, but unexpectedly, as soon as I lay down, he turned around, wrapped around my waist, and said softly: That's great, you are by my side again.
I held his hand and said: Dear, go to bed, have a safe and sound sleep, we will go to see a doctor tomorrow.
He became very well-behaved and buried his head in my neck. He said: OK, I will listen to you.
I turned around and wanted to kiss him, but he avoided him again. He said: No.
He insisted stubbornly, so I could only kiss his cheek. He touched my hair. He said: It's so long, it's all waist-length.
I said softly: When my hair is long enough to reach my waist, will the general come back? I am waiting for you to marry me, so you must not give up.
This night was particularly deep. After so long, we finally lay together again. He used to be alive in bed, but now he is very quiet. At night, he tossed and turned in pain, but he stood up but refused to let him go. He said: Then, it will be fine if it hurts for a while. Don't get up, you can sleep with you.
It was finally dawn and we all got up early. The old man dragged people to book tickets overnight. Several of us boarded the earliest flight and flew to Shanghai. We went straight to the hospital recommended by the old man and found the expert.
I insisted on accompanying Xu Cheng, but he refused to let me go. He said he didn't want the last situation to happen again. I shook my head and said: No, that will never happen again. I must accompany you. From the time I found you again, I told myself that I must not leave you again.
The old man helped to arrange for Xu Cheng to stay in the hospital. This is a private hospital with very good environmental facilities. The room arranged for Xu Cheng looks very comfortable. This is probably the most advanced ward of this hospital, and it is a suite. We all avoided the trouble of staying in a hotel. We had a special room for family members to accompany us. Although it was a little small and crowded, it was already very good.
When I accompanied Xu Cheng to do the examination, the sweat on his head was blowing again and again. I kept cheering him up. He needed to muster up a lot of courage to go for every examination. I knew that he was actually very afraid of death, more afraid than anyone else.
The doctor has prescribed medicine for him, and a special nurse comes to him on time to give him infusions. The meals are delivered on time. The family can go to the restaurant for dinner. They are very humane in all aspects. Here is more like a vacation, and there is no cramping feeling like being in the hospital at all. Xu Cheng said: This place is much better than I thought.
I nodded and said: The old man specially asked for a relationship to make you feel more comfortable living.
After infusion, taking medicine on time, and there were some effects. His pain was significantly relieved a lot. I blamed him angrily: Look, how much pain you can save from taking medicine early, you still don’t listen.
He smiled and said: I can handle it, what is that little pain? Every time it hurts, I hold the pillow and call your name. In other words, will you laugh at me? I feel more and more naive now.
I held his hand and said: As long as you can be well, even if you become a child, I am willing to ask me for toys every day. As long as you are alive, I will feel at ease.
He put my hand on his lips and kissed it gently, and then said: Silly girl, what can I do to make you so unyielding?
I said: What kind of virtue can I do? Let you do so much for me silently. Husband, we should never separate again. Promise me and face everything with strength. For me and for our baby, come on, okay?
He nodded and said: I can do it. It's great that you are by my side. During those months, I felt as if I had been abandoned by the world. Every night I dreamed that you were getting farther and farther away from me, and I couldn't see it.
I thrashed my chest with guilt, and he grabbed my hand and refused to let me hit it. I said: Sorry, if it weren't for the arrival of God's will, if it wasn't for the fairy reminding me, maybe I haven't discovered that all this was a matter you deliberately arranged, or maybe I haven't found you yet.
He pinched my face and said: Silly girl, that's what I want to see. Since you can't give you happiness, let you find your own happiness without any scruples, instead of accompanying me in pain like now.
I shook my head and said: I am not in pain at all now. You are by my side, but I am particularly calm. I can accompany you. Our children grow up day by day. It is the best happiness. You hide alone and make us unable to find you. The greatest selfishness is the greatest selfishness. You are so smart, why don’t you understand that disappearance is more fearful than the disease itself. Have you ever thought about the feeling of your death one day, and you think about the pain of your mother hearing about the bad news of you leaving? Dear, you are really stupid. Do you think that if you bear it alone, we can all live safely? No, if you wait for you to leave, I will never be able to calm down. I will suffer forever, and I will feel guilty and blame myself forever. Do you understand?
As I spoke, I choked up again. He listened to my words, looked at me affectionately, touched my face, and said: You are right, my dear, I am selfish. OK, I will listen to you. When the examination results come down, no matter what the result is, I will call my mother and let her be mentally prepared. No matter whether it can be cured or not, I will insist on treatment. I promise you and I promise you.
Finally moved him! I felt a secret joy in my heart, and I said: This is my man! No matter how bad the result is, I will face it with you. Now, we pray together, pray that God just made a black joke with you, praying that you are not really stomach cancer. Although the damn stomach ulcer is also annoying, it is really much better than cancer.
