"Don't worry too much, the treatment has just been carried out now, whether there is a chance to change will have to wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, if there are signs of improvement after two days of treatment, then, the probability of success is great, if the condition continues to deteriorate, then there is nothing we can do. Vice President Ji said after comforting Liu Weiming, who was out of consciousness. Then he turned around and left, leaving Liu Weiming who was standing there in a trance.

"Dean Ji, when will I be able to visit the patient?" Liu Weiming came back to his senses and said to Vice Dean Ji after two steps.

"Not for the time being, let's wait for two days of treatment to see the situation before deciding if you can visit. There's nothing going on here, you can go back first. If there is a situation, I will call Miss Li to inform you. Vice President Ji said, and then walked into the elevator.

Liu Weiming was a little sluggish and walked downstairs slowly. He himself couldn't tell what his current situation was, and he felt that he couldn't be interested in Yiqiē anymore.

Liu Weiming drove Li Mengqing's car aimlessly on the street, and after driving for forty minutes, Liu Weiming found that he was completely driving indiscriminately, and he was almost driving to the end of the road, so he quickly turned around and drove in the direction where Li Mengqing lived.

Walking into Li Mengqing's house, dinner was already being prepared. Li Mengqing saw Liu Weiming come in and asked, "How is it?"

Liu Weiming was stunned, and then reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Fortunately, at least there is a chance to be cured." ”

As soon as Li Mengqing heard this, she also understood that the situation must be bad. Thinking of this, she could only sigh.

"Where's Qian'er?" asked Liu Weiming, looking around.

"Qian'er is playing with Qinqing, in the bedroom. Li Mengqing pointed to a guest room and said.

"Is Jingqing back? yes, it's out of school. Liu Weiming smiled, and then walked to the door of the guest room.

In the bedroom, Xiao Jingqing was pulling Jin Qian to accompany her to do her homework.

"Aunt Jin Qian, you don't know, our teacher is so annoying, and I assign so much homework every day, so I don't even have time to watch cartoons. If it weren't for the fact that I had done my homework and had little saffron, I would never have done it. Xiao Jingqing wrote in the notebook and said to Jin Qian who was sitting next to him with a pout.

Hearing this, Liu Weiming almost laughed out loud, and said secretly, it is really childlike.

Jin Qian, who was sitting next to Xiao Jingqing, couldn't help it, and said to Xiao Jingqing after laughing: "Then how many little red flowers did you take?"

"I take it every time, every day the teacher has to check the homework, and the best one is the little red flower, and it is me every time. You don't know, Li Xue, who is sitting behind me, wants to compete with me for the little red flower every time, but she loses every time. The teacher said that my handwriting is the best, and she still wants to fight with me for words like hers, hum. Because of this, she doesn't play with me, and I know she's jealous of me. Jingjing continued.

"You won't do this, Qinqing, you are all classmates, you should be friendly if you are classmates, you should be generous, if she doesn't play with you, you can take the initiative to find her, the more friends, the better, and there will be one more person to play games in the future, isn't it?" Jin Qian touched Qinqing's head and said.

"But I just don't like her. Qin Jing pouted and whispered.

"Be generous with your friends, and even if it's wrong, we have to forgive them. Otherwise, you will have fewer and fewer friends. Listen to Auntie, and pull her to play with you and play games together when class is going to class tomorrow. Jin Qian said softly again.

"Okay, then I'll forgive her one more time. Actually, I used to be best friends with her, but then she ignored me without getting the little red flower. Qin Jing nodded and agreed to Jin Qian's words.

"That's a good boy. Jin Qian praised Qinqing.

Hearing this, Liu Weiming knocked twice on the door, and then walked in.

"You're back. Jin Qian saw Liu Weiming and said.

"Uncle. Qin Jing shouted when she saw Liu Weiming, it was obvious that she had not completely forgotten Liu Weiming's special "uncle." ”

"How's Dad's illness?" Jin Qian asked Liu Weiming.

"Fortunately, the treatment is already underway, and the doctor can recover if there is no accident, so don't worry. Liu Weiming thought about it, squeezed out a smile and said to Jin Qian. After finishing speaking, he walked to the edge of Qinqing, saw Qinqing writing Chinese characters, touched Qinqing's head and said, "What are you talking to your Aunt Jin Qian?"

As soon as Qin Jing heard this, he put down his pen and repeated the conversation between him and Jin Qian to Liu Weiming again.

"Aunt Jin Qian is right, you have to cherish your friends, there are more friends, only then will someone go to school with you and it snows, and only then will someone play with you. Do you know?" said Liu Weiming with a smile.

Qin Jing nodded.

"Let's go out and let her do her homework with peace of mind, we're here, she can't do this homework. Jin Qian looked at Qin Jing and put down her pen as soon as she saw someone talking, so she pulled Liu Weiming and said.

Liu Weiming smiled and came out with Jin Qian.

"What the hell did the doctor say? Weiming, don't lie to me, we've been together for so long, you can't fool me with your eyes. Don't worry, I'm in good health and I'll be fine. Jin Qian pulled Liu Weiming to the balcony and said.

Liu Weiming was stunned, then picked up a cigarette and lit it slowly.

"In the future, smoke less, everything is someone else's, only the body is your own, you have to cherish it. With such a large family here, you are responsible for all of us. Jin Qian reminded when she saw Liu Weiming start smoking again.

Liu Weiming smiled reluctantly, and then said: "The situation is not optimistic, we all have to be mentally prepared." After Liu Weiming finished speaking, he looked at Jin Qian's face and added: "There is still hope, but the hope is not very big." Do your best and let God do your best. ”

As a secretary of the municipal party committee, Liu Weiming can call for wind and rain many times, but in this matter, he can only be helpless.

Jin Qian was obviously mentally prepared, let out a long sigh, and then said: "We all tried our best, but for Dad, we didn't fulfill our filial piety. My mom and dad are like that, and so is your dad. Jin Qian cried as she spoke.

Liu Weiming held Jin Qian in his arms and did not speak.

On the third day after that, Liu Weiming pleaded again and again, and finally, he got the promise of Vice President Ji to go in to visit his father.

Liu Weiming thought about it, and still brought Xiao Jingqing in. Those who went in were Liu Weiming, Jin Qian, Li Mengqing, and Xiao Jingqing.

There are a lot of instruments in the intensive care unit, and there are only two patients. Liu Weiming walked to his father's hospital bed, and Liu Weiming's father looked at Liu Weiming with wide eyes.

Liu Weiming's father has woken up, but the time he is awake every day is irregular, and the time he is awake every day is not more than three hours. And today, it was when the nurse saw that Liu Weiming's father was awake that she notified Liu Weiming and others to come in to visit.

"Dad. Liu Weiming saw that his face was pale, and when his arms were full of tubes with an oxygen mask, tears came out all of a sudden, and he knelt directly beside the bed.

Liu Weiming's father's lips moved, but no sound came out.

"Dad, we're here to see you, this is Sister Mengqing, you've seen it before. This is Sister Mengqing's daughter, Qinqing, called grandpa. Jin Qian walked closer and said while wiping her tears. Although, between going in, Liu Weiming and several people discussed, not to cry, which would make Liu Weiming's father have a bad premonition, but when he saw this situation when he went in, he still couldn't hold back.

"Grandpa. Xiao Jingqing shouted timidly, and then hid behind Li Mengqing's legs.

Liu Weiming's father opened his mouth again, but all the same, he didn't make a sound, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.

"Dad, how do you feel?" Liu Weiming asked a very idiotic question.

Liu Weiming's father kept opening his mouth to look at Liu Weiming and said, after talking for a long time, Jin Qian heard that it was a water word. Liu Weiming looked at his father's lips again, they had already dried up into pieces.

"Water, is there water. Liu Weiming stood up suddenly and shouted to the nurse beside him.

"You can't drink water, the doctor told you not to drink water. The patient's kidneys have died, and drinking water is a death accelerator for the patient. The nurse whispered to Liu Weiming.

Liu Weiming stared, looked at his father's longing eyes again, and shed tears again in anger.

"Just drink a little, it shouldn't matter if you have a little?" Liu Weiming's heart ached like a needle, and he turned his face and begged the nurse.

The little nurse was also unbearable, and then said: "If the patient really wants to drink water, use a cotton swab dipped in some water to wet the patient's lips, remember, otherwise the water will enter the patient's esophagus." ”

"Thank you, thank you. Liu Weiming said to the little nurse, and then Li Mengqing ran to an office in the middle of the room and took a disposable cup to receive a small half cup of water, and the little nurse handed over a cotton swab. Liu Weiming took the cup from Li Mengqing's hand, dipped it in water with a cotton swab, and slowly smeared it on his father's dry lips. As soon as Liu Weiming's father saw that there was water, he immediately opened his mouth and kept sucking. Liu Weiming wanted to give his father water for himself, but he couldn't. While persuading his father: "Dad, if you hold on a little longer, you can't drink water for the time being, and you can wait until you get better." While dodging his father's writhing lips, he only let the cotton swab rub on his lips.

At this time, when Li Mengqing saw this scene, she couldn't help but turn her back and wipe her eyes with a tissue.

"All right, sir. Can't be painted anymore. Then the nurse came up and said.

And Liu Weiming's father still looked at the disposable water cup with longing eyes, this is the fourth day, and he has not been dipped in water for four days.

Liu Weiming was heartbroken again, but he still sensibly handed the disposable water cup to the little nurse.

"Sir, you better go out, you all have the virus on you, and besides, you all have unstable factors. According to the regulations, we resolutely do not allow outsiders to come in, and the patients here are very fragile, and any slightest accident may worsen the condition. The little nurse reminded.

"Dad, don't worry, don't be afraid, we are waiting outside every day, your illness is not a big problem, but it is a bit troublesome to treat, and it will take more time. You can recuperate here in peace and don't have any other thoughts. Mom is very good, Yun Jia is accompanying her. Liu Weiming held his father's pale hand without a trace of strength and said.

"It hurts. Liu Weiming's father opened his mouth again and repeated it many times, and Liu Weiming leaned on his lips before hearing it.

Hearing this word, Liu Weiming's pretended strength was shattered again, and he directly held his father's hand tightly and fell on the bed and cried, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Dad, I know that it will hurt, but this is only temporary, as long as it is cured, it will not hurt." Dad, you have to persevere. ”

"Go out, the patient is very fragile physically and mentally, we can't let him talk a lot and think a lot of questions, we want to make sure that the patient wakes up for no more than 20 minutes each time, so that it is best for the patient's body. The nurse said again.

Liu Weiming reluctantly let go of his father's hand, and then knelt directly beside the bed, kowtowed heavily, and said, "It's all because my son is not good, and he was not by your side when you were sick." ”

Seeing his son kneeling in front of him, Liu Weiming's father also had tears in his eyes.

"Hurry up and get out, don't let the patient have a strong change in his feelings. When the nurse saw Liu Weiming's father crying, she immediately pulled Liu Weiming and pushed him out.

Several people, except for Xiao Jingqing, walked out with red eyes. Especially Jin Qian, as soon as she came out, she lay on the windowsill and cried, and Li Mengqing walked over to comfort her.

Liu Weiming once again ignored the doctor's strict prohibition of smoking, and felt a cigarette leaning against the corner of the wall and began to smoke, one after another.

When the cigarette case was empty, Liu Weiming stood up with red eyes and said to Li Mengqing: "Do you know where Vice President Ji's office is? ”

"What's wrong with you? Li Mengqing was a little scared when she saw Liu Weiming's appearance, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm just going to ask Vice Dean Ji what my father's condition is." Liu Weiming said after squeezing out a smile.

Li Mengqing looked at Liu Weiming, then nodded, and the group went to Vice Dean Ji's office.

When he arrived at Vice President Ji's office, Liu Weiming turned to Li Mengqing and Jin Qian and said, "You guys wait for me outside, it's not good to go to so many people, I'll just go in alone." Then he knocked on Vice Dean Ji's door, and when he heard that he was invited to enter, he pushed the door in.

"Hello Vice Dean Ji, I'm sorry, I'm here to trouble you again. Liu Weiming said respectfully.

"Sit down, you're welcome, our responsibility is to save the dead, this is our job, where is the trouble. You want to ask about your father's condition, right?" said Vice Dean Ji to Liu Weiming after taking off his glasses.

"Yes, I just went in and saw my dad, and I feel that he is in a very bad state now, and besides, it is also very painful. So, I'd like to find out about the specific condition. You can be honest with me. Liu Weiming nodded and said.

Vice President Ji looked at Liu Weiming, and then said: "Your father's illness has been greeted above, so, as far as our hospital is concerned, it is our strongest lineup that has been mobilized, and it can be said that it is one of the strongest lineups in the world in terms of medical skills, and there is no problem in terms of treatment." However, I have told you before that your father's illness can actually be regarded as a terminal illness. There is only one successful case of this disease in the world, and this case is accidental, when the patient was sent, the internal organs were basically good, and it had just spread. And your father's condition is relatively strict. Let me give you a clear answer. After a few days of treatment, the condition is slowing down, but there is no obvious sign of improvement, in other words, the patient's condition has been controlled, but there is no way to recover. We can keep the patient on life for at least a month. However, there is no cure, and just this morning, I called all the experts for another consultation, and the result of the consultation was also this, which is already the best we can do, and we can't do anything about the rest. ”

After Liu Weiming heard this, his heart was broken, there was still a little bit of hope, but now it is completely gone. But he still refused to believe this outcome, and asked: "What about foreign countries? Isn't there a successful case abroad? Is it possible to be cured abroad?"

"First of all, let me make a point to you. Yes, there is still a gap between the overall medical level of our country and some countries, but this gap is not obvious. The gap is only in some professional theories, in addition, this gap is not absolute, in some professional aspects, our country is stronger than European and American countries. As I said earlier, the successful case abroad was just accidental, mainly because the patient's own condition was relatively good. In the next few cases of this disease, the hospital failed without exception. Your father's disease, I dare say so, there is no hospital on earth that can do it better than ours. Young man, we can understand your feelings, I have been a doctor for so many years, and I have talked too much about life and death, so I can say that I have become numb. I advise you, human life is actually very fragile, and people's abilities are also very limited, and we are basically powerless to fight against birth, old age, sickness and death. If you want to open it, everyone has to go to this day, this is the law of nature. No matter how reluctant you are, it won't help the result. We need to learn to be rational. Vice President Ji also sighed and persuaded Liu Weiming.

"Is it really hopeless? Is there probably no one at all?" Liu Weiming asked again.

Vice Dean Ji shook his head, and then said, "Let's continue to treat and observe for a few days, if there is no sign of improvement, then it can only be this result." ”

Liu Weiming sat on the chair, then nodded to Vice Dean Ji and said thank you.

"No thanks, in fact, we also really want to cure the patient, we have been studying your father's disease for many years, and we also want to make a breakthrough, but there are some things we can't do about it, I hope you can understand. Vice President Ji stood up and shook hands with Liu Weiming.

Liu Weiming nodded again and said, "No matter what the result of my father is, I am very grateful to you. I'll go first. Liu Weiming shook hands with Vice President Ji and turned around and left Vice President Ji's office.

"What did Vice Dean Ji say?" Jin Qian and Li Mengqing hurriedly asked when they saw Liu Weiming coming out.

Liu Weiming shook his head, and then said gloomily: "Let's talk about it in the car." "Turn around and walk out of the elevator.

His attitude had already made the two of them understand the result.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Weiming opened the window and smoked a cigarette and looked at the scenery outside the window, the car was very quiet and did not speak, except for Xiao Jingqing, who occasionally made two dissatisfactions.

"I want my dad to stop the treatment. After a long time, Liu Weiming said such a sentence with a pale face. Stopping treatment meant his father's immediate death, and making this decision shows how determined he was.

His words also completely shocked Li Mengqing and Jin Qian, both of whom looked at Liu Weiming with incredible eyes.

"Why?" Jin Qian asked as she looked at Liu Weiming.

"Vice President Ji told me that my father has no hope of being cured, so he can only delay the treatment like this, and one more day is a day. But what's the point of dragging it out like this? You can see how much pain Dad had, and why did he have to let his old man suffer so much when it didn't come to fruition? He has been suffering all his life, and I don't want him to leave in pain. Liu Weiming said with moist eyes.

As soon as Liu Weiming finished speaking, Li Mengqing and Jin Qian fell into silence for a long time. This choice of whether to save or not to save is a difficult problem for anyone. If you don't save it, it means death, which no one can bear, and receiving treatment is dragging on, at least people are still alive, and if they are alive, in the hearts of everyone, it means that there may be miracles, which is the normal psychology of people, even if the probability of this miracle happening is lower than Japan's initiative to admit the history of aggression against China. And continuing the treatment can only watch Liu Weiming's father continue to suffer infinite pain, and this pain can basically be concluded to be meaningless. This choice is actually a contest between reason and situation, Li Mengqing and Jin Qian both know that Liu Weiming's decision is intellectually right, but emotionally, it makes them unacceptable. Women are more sensual than men.

"Is there really no possibility? Now that medical skills are so advanced, how can there be no cure? I can cure it, how can my father not be cured? Or if we go abroad, my illness can be cured there, and I believe that Dad's illness can also be cured. Jin Qian hurriedly said.

Liu Weiming didn't speak immediately, spit out two puffs of cigarette, and then said slowly: "It's useless, Vice President Ji has made it clear that it can't be cured here, and it can't be cured abroad, this is already the world's first-class level." Moreover, Dad can't go abroad at all. People are sometimes too small, and the funny thing is that most people have always been complacent, thinking about how powerful human beings are. ”

fell silent again, and finally Li Mengqing said: "Weiming, I don't think this decision should be made by you, but by your mother." Now in this situation, you should let your mother know about this, even if she can't bear it, you should sue her, it is too cruel for her to hide it from her at this time, and you have also deprived her of the right to see your father for the last time. In addition, you can't hide this situation for a while, she will know sooner or later. ”

Liu Weiming's eyes were very hollow, and his head was full of hemp, which he couldn't understand at all. When he was the secretary of the municipal party committee, no matter how difficult and complicated the situation was, he could find a clue and find a breakthrough, but now, his mind was blank.

"We'll talk about it in two days. Liu Weiming finally spit out a few words, his father is already like this, he can't bear any more accidents from his mother, and he can delay it for a day.
