Chapter 165: White Lies
As he was talking, the situation of the old man on the hospital bed suddenly changed, and the old man who was smiling a little better just now suddenly retched, Liu Zhengjun rushed to the bed, helped his mother with one hand, and picked up the spittoon from under the bed with the other, the old man spit it out, mixed with turbid blood and some food, after spitting this mouthful, the old man seemed to gasp as if relieved.
"I vomited all the food I just ate this morning, it's not okay to go on like this", Li Hui on the side said worriedly.
"Let's go, what are you doing here," a male doctor in a white coat walked into the ward and came to the old man's bed.
"Vomiting again?" the doctor frowned and looked at the filth inside the spittoon.
"Well, this is the third time today, doctor, why is my mother's vomiting getting worse and worse, almost everything she eats", Liu Zhengjun said helplessly.
"Normal, her stomach function has been completely disordered, and now she can only take one step at a time, by the way, your medical expenses are not much, and you should pay them," the doctor shook his head and said.
"It's gone again, didn't you just pay five thousand a few days ago?" Li Hui said with wide eyes.
"Five thousand? Is it a lot? You know that in order to control the disease, we use imported medicine, otherwise, you think your mother can last for three months?" said the male doctor with an unhappy expression after being questioned.
"Xiaojun, listen to Mom, take Mom home, I don't want to stay here anymore, don't say anything about suffering, it costs a lot of money, Mom wants to go home and spend this time with you, Mom will be satisfied, Xiaolu will take the college entrance examination next year, there will be no less places to use money, Mom has lived so big, enough, enough, Mom is content", the old man on the hospital bed smiled and looked at his son and said.
"Mom" and "Grandma" Liu Zhengjun and Liu Lu both shouted with trembling voices, and Liu Lu looked at her grandmother's face with blurred tears.
The doctor next to him looked at the scene in front of him with an unchanged expression, he had seen too many similar situations over the years, and he had seen it worse than Liu Zhengjun's family, so he had already seen it, "Doctor, please come with me", suddenly he felt that someone touched him, and when he turned his head, he saw a familiar face.
"Are you!?" the doctor was stunned for a moment when he saw Masaki's face, and walked out of the ward with Masaki thoughtfully.
Outside the ward, Masaki and the doctor stood face to face, and the doctor looked at Masaki with a new face, he didn't expect to see Masaki here, although he didn't chase stars, but when Masaki, who was very popular during this time, appeared in his life, he still had a sense of unreality.
"Hello Mr. Masaki, I didn't expect to see you in the hospital, my family loves your songs," the doctor said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, I would like to ask about the patients in the ward," Masaki nodded.
"With all due respect, what is your relationship with the patient?" asked the doctor, curious.
"My girlfriend's family," Masaki said truthfully after thinking about it.
The doctor nodded, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Lu in the room, wanting to see what was so special about the girl that Masaki liked.
"Doctor?" reminded Masaki.
"Oh, oh, the patient's condition is not very good, and the optimistic estimate is that there are still three months left," the doctor replied.
"Is there nothing you can do?" asked Masaki even though he knew that there was little hope.
"I'm afraid I can't do anything with the level of our hospital, and I have thought about surgery before, but the old man is old, and I am worried that she will not be able to withstand such a big operation, and the operation is only a symptom but not a cure, and it is late, it has metastasized, and there is little hope", the doctor did not say it too absolutely.
"Oh, is it possible to go to the capital a little better?" asked Masaki reluctantly.
The doctor glanced at Masaki, this singer values the old man in it very much, it seems that his girlfriend has a very high status in his heart, shook his head, and said: "With the existing medical means, for the elderly with advanced cancer, the chance of cure is almost none, but if the patient is willing to spend money, it should be no problem to delay it for another half a year with imported medicine, but I personally don't advocate that, it's too sinful, not to mention spending money, the old man is just living for three more months, suffer." ”
Zhengji nodded, a trace of helplessness flashed in his heart, birth, old age, sickness and death, each returned to the destiny of heaven, and he couldn't force it, and at the same time flashed a good impression of the doctor, this doctor was quite realistic, "How much does it cost for three months?"
"It's about fifty or sixty thousand, and if you have surgery, you'll have to say that," the doctor said after thinking about it.
Zhengji nodded, took out a bank card, and said, "There are 100,000 yuan here, I will pay the money with you later, but I still want to ask you for a favor."
"What's the busy?"
"I'm sorry for you to talk to the patient's family for a while, and the hospital has recently decided to treat the elderly for free," said Masaki.
The doctor looked at Masaki in surprise, he didn't expect Masaki to make such a request, "You don't want them to know?"
"Hmm"
The doctor thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say."
Soon, the two returned to the hospital room.
In the ward, everyone's mood has calmed down, Liu Zhengjun is packing up the things on the old man's bed with red eyes, preparing to go through the discharge procedures in a while, and he is not in the mood to speak when he sees Zhengji and the doctor coming in.
It was Liu Lu, who saw Zhengji, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The doctor asked strangely as he saw everyone packing up their things.
"What else can I do, get out of the hospital and go home!" Liu Zhengjun said angrily, without raising his head.
"How can I go home now? The old man's condition is still unstable," the doctor said with a frown, but his heart was clear.
"Don't go back, don't you pay us the medical bills?" Li Hui choked, there was no lack of resentment in her tone, if it wasn't forced by reality, how could she be willing to be this "wicked person", although her husband didn't say it, but she could still see her dissatisfaction with herself from her husband's tone and expression.
"Yes, we'll pay for your medical bills," the doctor said earnestly.
"Huh?" The movements in everyone's hands stopped, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and Li Hui said bluntly: "You are still using us for entertainment at this time", with an angry look on his face.
The doctor smiled and shook his head and said: "I am entertaining you, this is true, I just received a notice from the dean that appropriate humanistic care will be given to families in difficulty, so the hospital decided to waive part of your medical expenses after understanding your situation, and then pay about 2,000 or so."
Zhengji nodded secretly, this doctor is quite smart, two thousand yuan, can make his words more credible, but it will not make Liu Lu's family hurt.
"Really, is this true?" Li Hui stopped what she was doing and reconfirmed expectantly.
The doctor nodded, but did not speak.
"Thank you, thank you so much, I, I don't even know what to say, I thank you", Li Hui saw the doctor's serious expression, and she already believed it in her heart, and said incoherently happily.
"Yes, thank you so much, my mother and I bowed to the hospital", Liu Lu also said excitedly, wanting to bow to the doctor as she spoke.
The doctor quietly turned to the side and let Liu Lu bow, he knew in his heart that this was all a play that Zhengji asked him to play, and if he accepted Liu Lu's bow again, it would not be good.
Liu Zhengjun didn't speak, just looked at the doctor, and then looked at Zhengji, thoughtfully, although he was happy in his heart, but he was not carried away by this joy, where could there be such a coincidence, just now the doctor also asked him to pay the medical bills, and after going out with Zhengji, there was this good thing, he frowned and looked at Zhengji on the side, and his heart turned a thousand times.
"Zhengjun, what are you still doing in a daze? Come and thank the doctors, they have helped us a lot, Mom doesn't have to go back, Mom can continue to receive treatment", Li Hui said excitedly pulling Liu Zhengjun.
Liu Zhengjun nodded, and glanced at Zhengji meaningfully, his eyes contained different things, but he didn't say anything, he was a little complicated in his heart, he knew that this eighty percent was Zhengji's shot, although emotionally he didn't want to accept it, he didn't want his daughter to become a weight in the relationship between the two, but intellectually told him that for the sake of his mother, this matter could only be accepted silently.
Zhengji also smiled and nodded at Liu Zhengjun, he knew that Liu Lu's father saw something, but all this was in plain sight.
"Look at the men in my family, they are all so happy, I don't know what to say, don't you mind", Li Hui saw that Liu Zhengjun didn't speak, and said with a smile.
"It's okay, you guys are busy first, prepare another 2,000 yuan, I'll pick it up tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital to go through the formalities for you first", the doctor smiled and said.
"Okay, you're busy, we'll thank you when it's over," Li Hui said hurriedly.
The doctor left, and the family gathered around the dazed old man on the bed, Liu Lu cried with joy and said to the old man: "Grandma, you can continue to receive treatment, the hospital is going to waive our medical expenses, grandma, I'm so happy."
"Silly boy, grandma won't live long anyway, it's been a few days, I still want to go home, I'm not comfortable in this hospital!" the old man kindly stroked Liu Lu's head.
"Mom, what are you talking about, you take care of your illness, don't think about it, we can get better, don't give up, Mom", Liu Zhengjun also figured it out, no longer entangled, and turned back to comfort his mother.
"Yes, Mom, the hospital is free for us, let's take care of our illness, we can always be cured", Li Hui also said.
"Alas, Mom knows, Mom knows everything, I will try my best to persevere", the old man sighed and said, suddenly saw Masaki not far away, a smile appeared on his kind face, he raised his arm weakly, beckoned to Masaki and said, "Child, come here, let grandma see you."
