After two days of wandering around Los Angeles, Xia Qingcai got in touch with her mother, wandering around the streets of Los Angeles with her luggage alone, she was in a foreign country, she almost gave up, and when she was hesitating and hesitating, she finally contacted her mother.

During these two days she thought of many words of complaint and blame, but when she heard her mother's haggard voice, she froze, and for a moment she was stiff and unable to speak, as if her tongue had been frozen, and she could not move.

Holding the phone without saying a word, she ran to the side of the road, hurriedly beckoning, fortunately she quickly got a taxi, she quickly got into the taxi, and said with a crying voice: "I'm goi to usc hospital" (I'm going to USC Hospital).

The master told her that there were still a few blocks to reach her destination from this location, and the tears in her eyes had already fallen all over her cheeks, and she didn't care what the master was talking to her at all, but kept urging the master to hurry up.

She couldn't stop crying, she put her hands on her forehead, and tears fell to her legs one by one.

“Master， can you drive faster?” (Master, can you drive faster?)

She kept urging in the car, although the streets of Los Angeles are not full of cameras like Guiyang to shoot violations, but every car is very orderly, and there is no road rush or overspeeding.

The streets of Los Angeles are constantly crossing, and at this moment her heart is like two o'clock in the morning when she first arrived in Los Angeles, she has not been able to contact her mother, she can only squat on the ground and look at this strange sky in despair, shattering all the beautiful pictures she originally thought of in the bottom of her heart.

The phone kept ringing in her hand again, she looked at the phone screen, but she didn't have the courage to press it for a long time, she was afraid that the hospital would come from the news she didn't want to hear.

The master driving in front of her kept looking at her, and said to her with great concern: "Girl! What's the matter with you? May I help you?” (Girl!What's wrong with you?Can I help you?)

“ Can you drive faster? My mother is dying， I haven't seen her for many， many years， and I don't want her to end up talking to me.” (Can you hurry up?) My mom is dying, I haven't seen her in many, many years, and I don't want her to last talk to me.) )

Her eyes were full of pleading, and she said to the driver with tears on her face, at this moment she really understood what helplessness was.

The driver told her that she would arrive soon and reassured her not to worry.

At this time, she herself also understood that it was useless to be anxious, maybe everything could only be left to fate! She put her hands on her chest, began to pray for good luck, and said to herself: "Mom, you must wait for me, I have been waiting for this day for more than ten years, I believe that you have also waited for me for more than ten years, we don't want to give up at this last chance, okay?"

“Get ready to get off! Up ahead is the university of southern California hospital," he said, pointing to Xia Qing in front of him.

She put the backpack on her shoulder, and before the master's car stopped, she opened the door and ran away.

The master was about to open his mouth to speak, but he was stuck in his throat, and he said a word, and left in the opposite direction.

In this huge Southern California hospital, she is like a headless fly, looking for it in every corner, her face full of tears attracted the attention of many people, and finally she found the ward, when she excitedly pushed open the door, what appeared in front of her was an empty bed, she repeatedly confirmed the text message on her mobile phone, and then looked at the ward number "416 ward", it was indeed true, but why was there no one?

Suddenly a little panicked, I didn't know what to do, walking in the corridor frantically asking passers-by, so scared that someone looked at her and dodged away.

Her mind suddenly woke up, and her mouth kept reading: "The nurse's table, the nurse's table, the nurse's table must know that the patient is there." ”

At this time, she was like a schizophrenic patient, her face was full of tears, her hair was messy, and her whole person was like a delirious retard.

Suddenly in front of her was a doctor in a white coat, as if she had seen a life-saving grass, she ran over and grabbed it and asked, "Where are the patients in ward 416?" The bewildered look on the doctor's face told everyone that he was frightened and didn't understand what she was saying.

“What are you talking about? Is there anything I can do for you?” (What are you talking about?, is there anything I can help you with?) The doctor asked, looking at her a little anxiously.

She suddenly reacted, she was in a hurry, and forgot to speak English and Chinese, this is Los Angeles, not Guiyang.

She looked at him again and said, "Where are the patients in ward 416." ”

At this time, the doctor seemed to understand what she said, and took her to the nurse's table, and asked the nurse's desk to inquire about the patient's whereabouts.

The beautiful young nurse told her that the patient was now in the emergency room, and she led her to the direction of the emergency room.

"Are you Xia Qing?" stood a boy outside the rescue room, he was taller than Xia Qing, white skin, black hair, and well-defined facial features, speaking Chinese very clearly, not at all like an American.

Xia Qing walked in front of him and asked excitedly, "How is my mother?" Xia Qing gently shook his whole body.

He watched him not say a word for a long time, and didn't know how to tell her about her mother's condition in the emergency room now.

Suddenly, the light on the emergency room went out, everyone knew that the light went out means that the patient was about to come out, she was both expectant and afraid of disappointment, and a pair of eyes stared at the unopened door.

There was a creak, and the door was pushed open by the doctor, and she stepped up to the doctor, holding his hand tightly and asking, "How's my mother?" (How is my mom)

The doctor sighed, took off the mask from his mouth, and said to her in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry! We did our best"

She took two steps back abruptly, and almost sat down on the floor, being held tightly by the shoulders of the boy next to her.

The doctor left the door of the emergency room with heavy steps, and then the patient who was covered with a white cloth was withdrawn, her mother, who she had been looking forward to for more than ten years, thought of countless happy pictures of reunion, but only did not expect such a tragic reunion.

She was silent suddenly, slowly uncovered the white cloth, held her hand tightly, there was still a trace of residual warmth in my hand, not completely cold, my mother, who had been pursuing perfection, was so elegant and serene when she left.

She seemed to have dried her tears, but at this time she just watched quietly, without tears, without crying, and the whole person looked at her mother unusually quietly, lying quietly on the stretcher.

"Mom, the one named Xia Qing has arrived, she has come to see you, she is really like you said, like the vibrant green leaves on the summer tree, such a sister is my pride. ”

The "Mom" he suddenly called out was deeply in Xia Qing's ears, she suddenly raised her head, looked at him in surprise, and followed the medical staff to the morgue without speaking.

Many times when we think that everything is still in time, in fact, time has slipped away quietly, and some things are too late, just like human life and death are always in the unexpected plan.
