316. Cause of death

,!

I looked back and saw a guy walking in with a thermos cup.

That person was my mother's attending doctor, Zhao Liping.

He didn't expect to meet me here today, he was carrying something and standing at the door in a daze.

He still recognized me, because before I could speak, he called, "Miss Xu." ”

I was a little glad to see that he still knew me, and I stood there without moving, just looking at him, "Dr. Zhao, I'm coming to see you." ”

His mother was lying on the bed, and when she saw that we all knew each other, she called to his son: "Liping, you go and pour tea for the guest, don't let the girl stand." ”

The doctor didn't look happy when he saw me, and he replied to his mother, "I see, Mom." ”

He put down the thermos cup in his hand and was busy pouring water for me, and I immediately said, "Doctor Zhao, you don't have to be so busy, just eat your mother first, I'll just wait on the side." ”

However, he did not do as I said, poured me a glass of water first, and went to take care of his mother.

I waited with my cup in my hand, and for about half an hour, when he had finished serving his mother, he looked at me standing beside me.

He finally asked, "How did Miss Xu find here?" ”

I put down the glass of water that I hadn't touched and walked over to him, and I said, "I'd like to talk to you alone." ”

He looked at his mother on the bed and said, "Go outside first, and I'll wipe my mother's face, and when she sleeps, I'll go out with you." ”

Hearing him say this, I said yes, and without hesitation, I walked out of the room.

I'm a stranger, and it's true that it's not good to stand there all the time.

Then I waited outside, and waited for about half an hour, and then he came out, and when he came out, he closed the door, and he said to me, "Go away, there is a garden downstairs." ”

He was the first to go downstairs, and I followed him.

When I got downstairs in the garden, I apologized to him and said, "I'm sorry I didn't say hello to you, so I came here to disturb you." ”

The two of us were standing in a flower bed in the garden, and it was noon, when a number of doctors in white robes passed by after work.

He said, "It's okay, it's just that I don't know how Miss Xu came to me today." ”

I asked, "Did you change your number?" ”

He didn't answer immediately, but after a while, he said, "Yes, I changed my number for some personal reasons." ”

I said, "Why don't you stay in that hospital anymore?" Your doctor has always been fine, why would you..."

Zhao Liping interrupted me and said, "Miss Xu, this is my own personal choice, I shouldn't have that clothes to answer to you." ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, I was just abrupt." ”

Zhao Liping took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and he said, "If you have any questions, ask now, I still have an old mother to take care of at home." ”

The implication is that there is no time to waste with me.

I also got straight to the point, no longer twisting and turning, I said: "That's right, I came here today for my mother, you should know that my mother has passed away two years ago, although it seems a little strange to come to you now, but I hope you don't think about it, I came to you today to ask you, a month or two before my mother died, did you have a heart-to-heart conversation with Dr. Zhao?" ”

I was afraid that he would misunderstand, so I immediately said: "My mother trusted Dr. Zhao very much when she was alive, and even regarded Dr. Zhao as a confidant, and most of the things she said or had any thoughts were discussed with Dr. Zhao, or confided, my mother left too suddenly, and she didn't even say hello to me, so I want to ask Dr. Zhao, when she was discharged from the hospital, did she say anything to you?" ”

Dr. Zhao's expression was very subtle, he seemed to have guessed my intention, he said: "Miss Xu, in fact, your mother has been gone for so many years, and if you come to ask these questions again, she will not be able to come back, it is better not to pursue these things anymore, and live your own life well, as for your mother, it was already medically determined that time was running out, so no matter what she thought, the final result was always the same." ”

When he said this, he glanced at the time again, and he said to me, "It's not too early, you better go back early, Miss Xu." ”

He turned around to leave, I expected him to be like this, and immediately blocked in front of him again, I frowned and called: "Dr. Zhao, you just need to answer me, did my mother talk to you, why did you refuse to answer my question, I really don't mean anything else, I just want to find out what my mother thought at that time." ”

Zhao Liping was blocked by me and couldn't move forward, so he could only stop and say to me: "Your mother did talk to me, but I don't know what you want to ask me. ”

I was about to answer, when he suddenly looked up behind me and called out to a man in a white coat, "Old Yu!" ”

The man should have passed by, and when he heard someone calling him, he immediately heard it, and followed the sound to look at us, and Zhao Liping took advantage of me to look back, and immediately pulled away from me, and trotted towards the doctor in the white coat.

He smiled and said, "You're off work?" ”

The doctor didn't expect Zhao Liping to be here, he said, "Yes, you just finished the shift, what are you doing here?" ”

The doctor's gaze fell to me from a distance, and Zhao Liping said, "A deceased patient's daughter once asked me about something, so I talked a few words there. ”

His friend asked, "Are you done talking?" ”

Zhao Liping said: "It's over. He put his hand on the doctor's shoulder and said, "Go, didn't you say I wanted you to drink?" ”

The doctor smiled and said, "I'm worried about beating you up at some time, it seems that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day." ”

The two of them walked forward with their hands on their shoulders, and no one paid any attention to me standing there.

I immediately shouted, "Dr. Zhao, you haven't answered me yet." ”

But who knew that he didn't look back, took his friends with him, and left in a hurry.

I stood there for a while, and I didn't chase anymore.

Then I went back to his house.

This time, however, I didn't go into the room again, but waited outside.

I knew that Zhao Liping would definitely come here, and he had nowhere to wait.

Then he waited until eight o'clock in the evening, when he came again to bring food to his mother, probably thinking that I was gone, so he came up very carelessly, and did not look around, but took out the key and went to open the door.

At this time, I came out of the shadows and called out behind him, "Doctor Zhao." ”

As soon as he stopped, he immediately turned around, and when he saw me standing behind him, he frowned and immediately asked, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

I said, "I've been waiting for you here." ”

Zhao Liping was not as polite to me as during the day, he said: "You don't have to wait for me here, if you want to stay here any longer, I will call the police." ”

After he finished speaking, he pushed the door open, stopped looking at me, and closed the door directly.

Why won't he answer me? Could it be true that there is a hidden secret?

Thinking of this, I felt less and less inclined to leave, and I was still waiting outside.

There are many people living here, and people are constantly going up and down the stairs, and everyone who passes by must take a look at me, and I have no intention of dodging, but I still wait patiently there.

When Dr. Zhao came out after taking care of his mother, it was nine o'clock, and at this time, the people in the community had basically begun to prepare for rest, and the atmosphere was no longer as noisy as before.

And I've been here for almost a day and haven't eaten dinner.

Dr. Zhao looked at me and said, "Miss Xu, I advise you to go back early, this is not more convenient than City A, if you are later, you may have to sleep on the streets." ”

There don't seem to be any hotels here, even small hotels.

I said, "Dr. Zhao, this matter is very important to me, please tell me, I really don't want to trouble you, but only you can answer me now." ”

Dr. Zhao said, "I can't answer you. ”

He turned to leave again, and I quickly followed him.

I shouted twice, "Doctor Zhao! Then I stood in front of him again.

He probably didn't expect me to be so difficult, and I was blocking his way, the staircase downstairs.

With pleading in my eyes, I said, "Please tell me if my mother has spoken to you, it's really important to me, I want to know the cause of my mother's death." ”

I said, "If you tell me, I'll leave right now." ”

Zhao Liping didn't expect me to be so stubborn, he looked at me under the steps.

At this time, another doctor from work came back to the dormitory, because I was blocking the staircase, and the other party inevitably stopped to look at me and then at Dr. Zhao.

It seemed to be an acquaintance, Dr. Zhao immediately greeted the doctor behind me, I naturally gave way for the time being, walked up to me, said a few words with a smile with Zhao Liping, and went upstairs again.

However, when I went up to the eighth floor, I took two more glances at my side, and my eyes were full of gossip and curiosity.

Zhao Liping probably stayed here with me, which would make people misunderstand, he was entangled by me and couldn't help it, so he said: "Don't stand in the way, let's go downstairs first." ”

He walked down quickly, and when I saw him go, I hurried after him to a secluded place, where he stopped and said to me, "Before you, someone had already come to ask me about your mother's condition, but I didn't say anything to them at that time, Miss Xu, your mother did communicate with me once when she was discharged from the hospital. ”

I didn't interject, just looked at him nervously.

Zhao Liping said: "In a few days, I will immigrate to New Zealand, originally, I don't plan to say a word more in this regard, but since you chased and asked, you are her daughter, I will tell you, your mother did not say to me at that time half a word to end her life, although her situation was not optimistic, but carefully raised for a long time can barely support half a year, when she was discharged from the hospital and told me to spend the rest of the time with you, listen to her say so, I was relieved to let her be discharged, but I didn't expect it." Not long after she was discharged from the hospital, the news of her death came, and it was a suicide, which I thought was very strange at the time, but this kind of thing is still related to the patient's own will and thoughts, so I didn't think much about it.

After all, I really have too many patients on my hands, life and death are just a common thing for doctors, but I didn't expect that your mother's death was the coming of my nightmare, and then the hospital where I was was dismissed for no reason, and no hospital in the whole city A dared to take me in, and my boss revealed the news to me that someone told me not to stay in city A, and if I continued to stay, my family in city K would be in danger, so I transferred the hospital in city A and returned to city k, and I stayed in city K for two years. Now our family is talking about immigrating to New Zealand, that's why, I change my phone number, I leave my job for no reason, and I leave from City A, I don't want my family to live under threat every day. ”

I didn't expect it to be like this, I frowned and asked, "You said you resigned because someone wanted to force you to leave?" ”

Dr. Zhao said, "Yes, but I still don't know who that person is, but I vaguely suspect that it is someone related to your mother's death." ”

I didn't expect it to be like this, I looked at Zhao Liping for a long time and couldn't come back to my senses.

Zhao Liping said: "Of course, I don't know what the specific cause of your mother's death is, but according to your mother's mental state at the time, she doesn't look like she would be such a person, your mother is relatively strong, unless it really comes to a dead end, the whole body has reached the point where it can no longer be supported, she does this, I still think it is somewhat possible." ”
