Fang Guilan learned that her son was about to come back, so she was relieved to fall asleep again. By the time Cao Yuyi drove back from Beijing, it was already early the next morning. After Cao Yuyi arrived at the hospital that Fang Xiaoshi said, he called Fang Xiaoshi, and Fang Xiaoshi hurriedly came to the gate of the hospital. She saw Cao Yuyi at a glance, and after not seeing him for a year, he became more handsome again. He also saw Fang Xiaoshi, he approached her, and asked in surprise:

"Xiao Shi, why are you so thin?" Tears rolled down from Fang Xiaoshi's eyes at once, and she lowered her head and said in disguise:

"No! I'm skinny. ”

"How's Mom?"

"Mom... Mom is dying, probably in the next few days!" Fang Xiaoshi said with the pain in his heart.

"What?" Cao Yuyi said, staring at him in astonishment. Fang Xiaoshi let the tears flow freely, she looked at him sadly and said seriously:

"Brother, what I said is all true. Cao Yuyi sat down on the ground violently, Fang Xiaoshi supported him, and shouted in horror:

"Brother, brother... What's wrong with you?" Fang Xiaoshi called out to him and dragged him again and again, so that he could sit on the steps on the side of the road. was frightened by Cao Yuyi, Fang Xiaoshi's tears were scared back, she patted the face of Cao Yuyi, who was silent and looked a little demented, and continued to call:

"Brother, don't scare me! Say something quickly!" Cao Yuyi was finally beaten to his senses by her, and he muttered to himself:

"Wasn't my mother fine when I left, how could it be so serious all of a sudden?

"Brother, don't do this! Let's go up and see Mom! She misses you. Cao Yuyi turned his head and looked at her in horror, he grabbed Fang Xiaoshi's arms violently and said in a panic:

"I don't go, I don't dare to face my mother, I'm afraid to see that moment, Xiao Shi, I don't want to go. Fang Xiaoshi was stunned, she thought that he would definitely be as sad as she was when he came back, and it would be as difficult to accept this cruel truth, but she never thought that Cao Yuyi, who was tall and straight, would have such a soft side. He didn't even have the courage to face his seriously ill mother.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoshi suddenly remembered that when his father died, Cao Yuyi fainted nervously before he saw his father's body, and he didn't wake up until his father was buried.

In the face of such a weak him, she couldn't pull him or carry him, so Fang Xiaoshi had no choice. She had to come to Ma Xingdong's office again, there was no one in the office, he must have gone to the operating room. Fang Xiaoshi had to sit down and began to wait for him to come back silently.

As soon as Ma Xingdong pushed open the door, he saw Fang Xiaoshi sitting in front of his desk in a daze, he never let others sit on the chair in front of the desk, but now that Fang Xiaoshi was sitting on it, he felt so natural and logical.

Seeing that Ma Xingdong was back, Fang Xiaoshi hurriedly stood up and was about to give him the position.

"Why are you standing up?"

"Doctor Ma, I have encountered a problem again, and I don't know what to do, so I came back to you. Fang Xiaoshi didn't sit down, but said to Ma Xingdong sadly.

"Oh, what kind of problem?" asked Ma Xingdong in surprise.

"My brother is back, but he knows that my mother is dying, and he is so afraid that his legs are straight and weak, and he doesn't even have the courage to come up to see my mother, and he is still below. Dr. Ma, what do you think I should do?"

"There are a lot of people who can't stand a little thing, and he must have been frightened when he was a child. The only thing that can be done now is to trick him. ”

"How to deceive?"

"Let's go, I'll go down with you. Fang Xiaoshi nodded hurriedly. When they walked into the elevator, Ma Xingdong couldn't help but say:

"You and your brother are really not biological, and their personalities are so different. You are so strong and brave, and your brother is so weak and incompetent..."

"Don't talk about my brother like that. Fang Xiaoshi interrupted Ma Xingdong's words loudly. Ma Xingdong didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and was startled by her sturdiness. Fang Xiaoshi saw that Ma Xingdong was frightened by herself, and felt that her reaction was a little excessive, she lowered her voice and said:

"I'm sorry I said it too loudly and scared you. But my brother is really not a weak and incompetent person, otherwise how could he have the courage to start his own company as soon as he graduated from college? The reason why he did not dare to face my mother's death was because he was only a teenager, and his father's death frightened him. Ma Xingdong only nodded and said nothing.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they saw Cao Yuyi's face was very bad, and he hugged his chest with his arms, almost shrunk on the steps, like a helpless child. Fang Xiaoshi never thought that his brother, who seemed to stand out from the crowd and was magnificent, would become so weak. She looked at him with great pain, and Cao Yuyi also raised her helpless eyes to look at her, and they looked at each other silently. Until Ma Xingdong walked up to Cao Yuyi, he said in a very professional and ruthless tone of a doctor:

"You are Fang Guilan's son, right! Some time ago, your mother was misdiagnosed as liver cancer, and today the results are out, it is ordinary enteritis, I have already told your sister, you should go up and see your mother." Cao Yuyi was stunned by his words, and he slowly moved his head to look at Fang Xiaoshi:

"What did this doctor just say about misdiagnosis?" Fang Xiaoshi held back his tears, and quickly nodded and said:

"The doctor said that my mother was not liver cancer, but enteritis. Cao Yuyi jumped up suddenly, he was a head taller than Fang Xiaoshi, he held Fang Xiaoshi's shoulders with both hands, looked at her condescendingly, and asked in disbelief:

"Is this true?" Fang Xiaoshi couldn't say anything, she only nodded at him. Cao Yuyi put aside Fang Xiaoshi and strode towards the hospital department. Fang Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, she turned her head and looked at Ma Xingdong with tears in her eyes, giving him a grateful look, and Ma Xingdong's heart was stinging again.

Looking at Fang Guilan, who was tortured by the disease on the hospital bed and was dying, Cao Yuyi once again sat on the ground of the ward. Fang Xiaoshi and Ma Xingdong had a lot of effort to get him a chair at the head of the bed. Cao Yuyi reacted after a while, he grabbed Fang Guilan's hand on the bedside and held it in his hand, crying like a child. Fang Xiaoshi also cried silently. Looking at Cao Yuyi's trembling and helpless appearance, she felt that she was thankful that she didn't call him in advance, he had been alone for more than half a year, and the hardships he had paid were worth it.

After a while, Fang Guilan slowly woke up, and when she saw her crying son beside her, she was not surprised at all, she only looked at Ma Xingdong, and Ma Xingdong hurriedly came to her. Fang Guilan said hoarsely and clearly:

"Dr. Ma, can you please stop giving me that kind of needle today? I don't want to fall asleep like this anymore, I know I don't have much time left, and I still have a lot to say to the children. Ma Xingdong and Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help but look at each other, they were surprised that she knew everything. Ma Xingdong said with some embarrassment:

"Aunt Fang, if you don't hang morphine, you will be very uncomfortable. Fang Guilan paused for a moment and continued:

"It's okay, I can stand it, don't hang up with Dr. Ma in the future!"

"Mom, I'm afraid it won't work, if you don't try it first, if you can't stand it, tell us. Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help but interject.

"You don't have to worry, I'll tell you when I hang up. Fang Guilan comforted them. Hearing them say that he had given his mother morphine, Cao Yuyi was even more shocked that she forgot to cry.

"Xiaoyi, don't be afraid, my mother won't be able to die for a while. You just came back in the morning, go wash your face first!" Fang Guilan said to Cao Yuyi, who was trembling all over in front of the bed. Fang Xiaoshi hurriedly helped him pull him up from the chair.

"Brother, you just listen to your mother, go wash your face first!" Seeing Cao Yuyi slowly walk out of the door of the ward, Fang Guilan said to Fang Xiaoshi:

"Xiao Shi, you now know why your mother never asked you to call your brother! Your brother fell into the river when he was five years old, almost drowned, and then fell into a disease, he couldn't withstand a little fright, the first few years after being rescued, even if the thunder was a little louder, he would be scared half to death, and then gradually got better, but still couldn't face death and other events. Don't look at his cold pretending to be cool on weekdays, in fact, no one is more fragile than him in his heart. Fang Guilan said so much in one breath, she was so tired that she stopped and gasped for breath. Fang Xiaoshi gently patted her chest and said with a heartache:

"Mom, I know what you said, and I just found out that my brother has this kind of problem. No matter what happens in the future, I will be with him. Fang Guilan smiled weakly.

"Xiao Shi, you are really Bingxue smart, you know what to do as soon as your mother says it. The three happiest things in your mother and my life are: marrying your father. The second gave birth to your brother, and the third raised you. It's worth it in this life. ”

"Mom... Don't say it..."Fang Xiaoshi's throat choked again.

"It's time for breakfast!" Ma Xingdong's voice sounded behind him. Fang Xiaoshu looked back and saw that he walked in early with a big bag, and Cao Yuyi also came in after him.

Unprecedentedly, Fang Guilan, who hadn't eaten for several days, actually drank half a bowl of porridge. This gave the Cao Yuyi brothers and sisters a new hope. Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Fang Guilan's spirit rarely improved, and she said to Ma Xingdong:

"Doctor Ma, you've been busy all morning for me, an old woman, and it's time for you to go about your business. Ma Xingdong stood up and said:

"Aunt Fang, don't say it, I'm also ready to go, it's time to make rounds, then your family has a good chat, I'll be busy first." When Ma Xingdong went out, he didn't forget to give Fang Xiaoxiao an encouraging smile. Fang Guilan looked at her pair of excellent children again and said:

"Kids, I have a wish now, and you two will satisfy me. ”

"Mom, you said, as long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy you. Cao Yuyi's brother and sister said in unison. Fang Guilan looked at them quietly for a while, and then said word by word:

"Kids, I want to go home, I don't want to die in the hospital. When Cao Yuyi's brother and sister heard this, they knelt down in front of the hospital bed crying bitterly.
