Chapter 86: Is It Worth It to Work So Hard?

"Could it be that his wife bought a house in the city and moved away with her children and the elderly?"

Zhao Fan said this, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, he remembered the expressions of those villagers who wanted to speak and stopped, and always felt that something should have happened to Chen Pengfei's family.

He looked up and around, noticing a figure swaying in the cornfield behind the house, and walked briskly over it.

Working in the fields is a peasant couple, sweating and fertilizing corn more than one person tall. Seeing Zhao Fan coming, he stopped what he was doing in surprise and looked at him.

"This eldest brother, I am a friend of Chen Pengfei, may I ask if their family has moved away now?"

"Where the hell did Pengfei's dead boy go?

As soon as the two heard Chen Pengfei's name, their expressions changed, they kept shaking their heads, and let out a few long sighs.

Xiling City is located in a hilly area, full of mountains, and the rural population is relatively scattered. In a rural village like Sanchahe, there are only a dozen families in the whole village, and most of the people around them still know what is going on with someone.

The two people Zhao Fan asked opened the chatterbox, and they didn't stop, you said a word to me, and quickly told what happened after Chen Pengfei left.

Things are not complicated, in short, Chen Pengfei's wife ran away. It was to leave the sick child in the hospital and run away on his own.

Chen Pengfei's parents died early, and after getting married, he and his wife lived. Later, when the child was born, he was not very good, sick, and he did not grow strong, like a little mouse.

Before the confinement was released, I began to get sick non-stop, with a fever at both ends for three days, and even the occasional crying was weak.

After the couple gritted their teeth and sent them to the central hospital for examination, the people around them often heard the sound of the couple hugging and crying at home. What is the specific disease, the two people Zhao Fan asked can't say why. I only know that it didn't take long for Chen Pengfei to leave here, and her wife also took the child to the central hospital to stay permanently.

And it wasn't until more than two months ago that a particularly beautiful young woman came to the village to inquire about Chen Pengfei's residence. After questioning by the villagers, they learned that Chen Pengfei's wife had been missing for more than a month at that time.

"What the hell are you guarding with your life!"

Zhao Fan drove towards the city again, feeling bored for a while.

How desperate Chen Pengfei is for money, everyone in the mercenary group knows. I didn't know what happened to him before, Zhao Fan didn't know, but after this person got to know him, he definitely received the most tasks every month in the entire mercenary group.

People who wander on the edge of life and death never know when they will die, so when they are alive, they will always try to enjoy life as much as possible. Eat and drink, find women, travel around the world, and find all kinds of thrills. While releasing the pressure, I also wanted to spend every penny on my body, for fear that I would die tomorrow, but the money was not spent.

But apart from daily necessities such as eating and drinking, Chen Pengfei almost never spends a penny more on himself.

And he did it only because his child was still sick and needed a lot of medical bills, and his wife was still at home, waiting for him to come back.

But he didn't know that what he bought with his life would be such a result. His wife left the child and ran away, and it has been three or four months. And whether the child is alive or dead, no one knows.

The Central Hospital, the best hospital in Xiling City, where Chen Pengfei's wife and his daughter have been treated for nearly two years. In the end, without saying goodbye, he left the child in the hospital bed.

Chen Yumeng, a very nice name, if that child was still alive, he would be three and a half years old by now!

Zhao Fan rushed into the hospital in a hurry, running wildly while asking, and when the nurse at the nurse station told him with a strange face that when Chen Yumeng was still in the hospital, the tight string in his heart was only a little relaxed.

Thankfully, at least alive!

"You're the father of the child, aren't you? You're finally willing to come! How can there be parents like you in the world?"

"For a few months, I didn't even look at the child, do you know how pitiful she is?"

"Our hospital has more than 30 floors in the whole building, you go and ask, which one has not shed tears for this child?

When the nurse at the nurses' station saw Zhao Fan's stunned expression, she misunderstood him as the child's father. With a person at the beginning, it quickly exploded, and there were more and more people around here, and almost all around him were accusing voices.

"Thank you for taking care of the child during this time, the father of the child passed away, and I just learned that the child is here. Please rest assured, as a friend of his father, I will never leave this child unattended!"

Zhao Fan could feel the kindness of the people around him, and he expressed his gratitude to them sincerely from his tone.

"You're not the father of the child?"

The middle-aged female nurse looked at Zhao Fan with some suspicion and asked.

"This is my ID card, take a look, please don't waste time, take me to see the child's situation immediately!"

Zhao Fan didn't want to continue to delay time, so he directly took out his ID card and said to the nurse in front of him in a sincere tone.

A group of people glanced at the ID card and determined that Zhao Fan was really not the child's father, and then changed the conversation. They repeatedly emphasized how pitiful and well-behaved the child was. Zhao Fan knew that they were worried that this poor child would be abandoned again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure the child's illness and take care of him!"

Zhao Fan was in a group again, and according to the nurse's guidance, he walked towards the ward deep in the corridor.

"Director Liu, you can be more accommodating! When I pay my salary this month, I will definitely help her pay the fees. You know how pitiful this kid is. Once the blood transfusion stops, she really won't be able to live!"

A somewhat familiar soft female voice came from the front, and Zhao Fan raised his eyes to see several people surrounding the door of the ward, stretching their necks to look into the ward.

"Xiaozhuang, you have a good heart, we all know it! But it's really not a way to go on like this, do you know how much money you have spent on this child? You are still young, you will have your own life in the future, and you will do everything for a child you don't know, is it worth it?"

"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just that I do what we do, and the poor ones have seen a lot. You know what kind of disease she has, this disease is a bottomless pit, and even her parents were scared away. Who in the hospital didn't donate to her? What can she do? After all, it is only a matter of time!"

"The problem now is not that I can't be accommodating, but that I can't transfer blood without a fee at the blood bank. I'm just a messenger, so don't embarrass me!"

A middle-aged man's voice was full of embarrassment and helplessness, and when it came out of the ward, Zhao Fan had already arrived at the door of the ward.

After picking up the few people blocking the door, as soon as he entered the ward, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Her shiny black hair was still neatly pulled back, and she was still wearing a light blue lace-trimmed undershirt jacket and a short-sleeved white coat. It's just that today there are two lines of tears hanging on her cheeks, which are as white as clotted cream.

A pair of beautiful eyes with red eyes subconsciously glanced over here when Zhao Fan came in, and he was slightly stunned when he saw him actually appear here.

"Zhao Fan?"

"Zhuang Xinyi?"

This young female doctor is the female doctor Zhuang Xinyi that Zhao Fan saw on the way to the airport when he came back, but he didn't expect to see her again after only one day.

"Xiaozhuang, I'll go first, I've already informed you of the matter!"

The person who was talking to Zhuang Xinyi just now was a male doctor in his thirties, who saw Zhao Fan coming in and attracted Zhuang Xinyi's attention, and ran out of the ward as if fleeing for his life.

"Dr. Zhuang, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Do you know that there is a child named Chen Yumeng in that hospital bed?"

I suddenly saw an acquaintance, and I was indeed a little surprised. However, Zhao Fan didn't have the heart to think about anything else at this time, he was anxious to see the child's situation. While checking the names on the bedside cards of the hospital bed one by one, he asked anxiously.

"You're here to find Meng Meng?"

Zhuang Xinyi's eyes lit up when she heard Zhao Fan's words, and she arrived in front of Zhao Fan in one step, and pulled him to the innermost bed.

This is the most common ward in the hospital, and it should also be the cheapest. In a ward of less than 30 square meters, there are eight beds. The skinny little child was on the hospital bed in the corner near the door of the toilet.

Zhao Fan saw the name on the bedside card, this child was the daughter of Chen Pengfei he was looking for, Chen Yumeng.

The child was very thin, very small, and did not look like a child of more than three years old at all, but as if he was not even a year old.

Where she lay quietly, her face and the skin of her little arms on the outside of the sheets were a sallow color. After approaching, Zhao Fan could hear her breathing, which was extremely faint compared to a normal child.

Zhuang Xinyi's hands were sweaty, and her white little hands didn't let go after grabbing Zhao Fan's arm, and pulled him very hard, as if she was afraid that he would run away. Zhao Fan could only hold the child's pulse with one hand, and asked softly, "What kind of disease does this child have?"

"Anemia and non-reproduction!"

After he asked, the hand that touched the child's arm felt the child's extremely stiff muscles, and he couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

"Aplastic anemia!"

At this time, Zhuang Xinyi also spoke with him almost at the same time and answered his question.

The name is different, it refers to the same disease.

"You're not Mengmeng's family, you're a doctor?"

Zhuang Xinyi also reacted at this time, looking at Zhao Fan with some disappointment, and her tone was lost.

"I'm a friend of her father, I can be regarded as her family, and I'm also a doctor!" Zhao Fan smiled, nodded slightly, and finally his gaze fell on Zhuang Xinyi's little white hand that was still holding his arm.

"Ahh

Zhuang Xinyi only remembered that she had been holding someone's arm for several minutes, and her fair cheeks instantly turned red behind her ears. Like an electric shock, he quickly let go of his hand and stood aside a little at a loss.

"Did that person come to collect the bill? How much does this kid owe to the hospital now?"

Zhao Fan freed his hands, and began to carefully check the child's physical condition again, and asked Zhuang Xinyi behind him.

"When the child's mother left, she still had a little money left in the hospital account, but it only lasted for more than a month before it ran out. Since April, the arrears have been, and later colleagues in the hospital have launched several donations, and some non-profit organizations have also funded a lot. ”

"But her disease needs long-term treatment, and the cost is too great. I really want to help her, but I really can't help it......"

Zhuang Xinyi lovingly reached out and stroked the child's yellow hair, her eyes turned red, and tears fell again.
