Chapter Forty-Nine: Blood Is Thicker Than Water

When Bai Lotian returned to the emergency room from the payment office, the words on the door frame disappeared, the red light went out, and then the door was opened again, and a doctor and two nurses pushed the patient out.

"Are Bai Shengli's family members there?" shouted the doctor who walked in front.

The few people who were originally standing scattered gathered around again, just like a group of chickens seeing Gu Mi.

"Get out of the way, the family will follow, and we'll take the patient to the ward on the tenth floor. A round-faced, big-eyed, white-skinned nurse pushing the bed behind shouted.

Bai Lotian and his mother pushed everyone away and rushed to the hospital bed covered with a light blue quilt. At this time, Bai Shengli closed his eyes tightly, his chin was exposed outside the quilt, his face was pale, and he was mentally exhausted, he heard the cries of his wife and son, he barely opened his eyes, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and the side of the quilt squirmed, but the hand under the quilt could not be stretched out.

"Just after the operation, the patient is very tired, let him rest for a while. The big-eyed nurse looked at the two and said, continuing to push the bed forward.

Mom held on to the hospital bed, tears streaming down again, "Lao Bai, what are we doing, suffering such a big sin." ”

Bai Lotian crouched on the other side of the hospital bed, looking at his father, who was so thin that his forehead was protruding, gritting his teeth, holding back the tears that were about to fall.

The bed followed the elevator to the tenth floor and was pushed all the way to the third ward of hand and foot surgery. When they came to the 15th bed, several people surrounded the patient, and under the command of the nurse, everyone worked together to carry the patient to the bed.

The nurse inserted the indwelling needle, hung up the infusion bottle, opened the infusion tube, adjusted the monitoring instrument, and explained to the family members, and then pushed the bed and left.

Dad's face was a little ruddy, his breathing was more even, and he slowly fell into a state of light sleep, he was too tired.

At this moment, a doctor pushed the door and walked in, wearing a white coat and sparkling eyes. He came to the fifteenth bed, looked at Bai Lotian, and looked at him with an inquiring look, "You are the patient's son, right?"

"Yes, yes, doctor, thank you so much. Bai Lotian said busily.

"Let me tell you, the patient's regression is a comminuted fracture and a cracked rib in the chest, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. The first stage of the operation was very successful, and it is necessary to ensure the nutrition of the patient. The doctor said.

"Yes, yes, thank you, doctor. Bai Lotian and his mother both said.

"You said just now that the first phase of surgery, is there a second phase?" asked Bai Letian.

"Well, because the patient's leg is a comminuted fracture, we can only do conservative treatment first, and after the injury is stable, we will have to do meniscus replacement surgery, otherwise the patient will have to be in a wheelchair in the future. In addition, rib fractures in the chest require further observation and, if necessary, further surgery, as conservative treatment is less effective. ”

Mom sighed, "How much does it cost?"

"The meniscus is 80,000 domestically produced, and the imported one is more expensive. When the time comes, it's up to you to choose. The doctor replied and walked out.

"Where are we going to find so much money? Mom shook Bai Letian's hand and said.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go back and raise money to see how much money I can have. Lao Zhang said.

"I'll talk to my wife and see how much our family can pay?" comforted the old man in a gray shirt.

"Ahh At this time, Bai Shengli shouted loudly as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream.

"You old thing, you want to die, and you don't want to think about us. Mom nodded his head and said.

"If you sell our house, it's not worth the money, and I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!" Bai Shengli patted the armrest of the bed and said, his tone was hurried and out of breath.

"Don't worry, if you have a son, he will be able to do it. Mom persuaded and wiped away a handful of tears.

"If it's hard for Lotte, I'm willing to die, this child is not easy, you don't know. Bai Shengli glared at his mother and said angrily.

"There will always be a way, I'm an adult, this is what I should bear, I shouldn't be a bad seed. Besides, my younger brothers and sisters are all working outside the home, so I can't count on them. Bai Lotian looked at his parents with sad faces and comforted.

After sending off Lao Zhang and the old man, the sun was sinking in the west, and twilight gradually covered the land. Under the light and shadow of the dim street lamp, Bai Lotian walked to the street south of the hospital gate, bought three meals, returned along the same road, returned to the tenth floor through the elevator, and handed the food to his parents.

After dinner, the hands of the electronic clock hanging on the wall were facing 9 o'clock. The hanging bottle on Bai Shengli's arm, after dripping the last drop in the bottle, when the nurse took the infusion bottle away, the three of them were tired.

At five o'clock in the morning, the alarm on the mobile phone rang in Bai Letian's ears, he got up from a stool about 50 centimeters wide and about 1.5 meters long, and saw his mother sitting on a matza, with her hands resting on the hospital bed, lying there, kowtowing and napping.

Bai Lotian sat up, rubbed his eyes with his hands, glared hard, stretched his waist, took the towel, and walked to the common scrubbing room on the left side of the corridor.

When he wiped his face and walked back to the room, his mother had woken up and was gently massaging his father's arms and head, and he was lying there quietly, motionless.

Bai Lotian took out 1,000 yuan in cash from his trouser pocket and handed it to his mother, telling his mother that this was the living expenses of the past few days, and that he would go home to see his grandparents first and tell them about the situation here, so that they could rest assured.

When Bai Lotian got up to leave, Bai Shengli shouted: "Son, if we don't have money, we can die, don't do stupid things." ”

Bai Lotian nodded and walked out. He was preoccupied, and his face was tired, as if he had lost his soul.
