Chapter 34: Meeting in the Ward
Lin Jia hurriedly cleaned up and drove to the hospital, thinking about whether it would be a misdiagnosis, whether it would be Xiao Shaohui's tricks again, or whether it was completely false, the only thing that made her hope was that this matter was not true. She herself didn't understand why she thought so, and she hadn't considered what Xiao Shaohui's life or death had to do with her for a long time.
Her driving skills are very skilled, Xiao Shaohui once said that looking at a person's driving has a lot to do with personality, as long as Lin Jia is on the road, it is like entering a no-man's land. For this reason, Xiao Shaohui quarreled with her a lot, so they rarely drove out together before, and every time they would be unhappy because of each other's driving habits, Lin Jia thought Xiao Shaohui was too slow, and Xiao Shaohui was worried that Lin Jia would have an accident. And today, Lin Jia just wants to rush to the hospital as soon as possible, so the speed is even faster.
She found the inpatient place according to the address left by Xiao Shaohui, which was not much different from other hospitals, the same color, the same dullness, the same quiet, but it seemed to have more of a feeling of fear.
Walking into the hospital building, Lin Jia's cautious eyes began to make trouble again, she first found the nurse workstation and asked Xiao Shaohui's room number, in fact, she knew the room number, Xiao Shaohui sent her a message. She was just looking for an excuse to inquire about the situation.
The little nurse looked at her and asked her:
"Who are you?"
Lin Jia said: "We are friends, we haven't seen each other for many years, and I heard that he is sick. ”
Then he asked the nurse, "Is this patient seriously ill?" ”
The little nurse lowered her eyebrows and said:
"Very serious."
Lin Jia was sure that what Xiao Shaohui said was true, she found the ward in the direction pointed by the little nurse, and through the glass on the door of the ward, she saw Xiao Shaohui lying there, the original height was nearly one meter eight, and the weight was nearly one hundred and eighty pounds, and now the person lying there was about one hundred pounds at best, skinny as wood, stuck to the bed like a piece of paper.
Lin Jia didn't dare to enter the house, her tears couldn't help but flow, she turned around and walked to the end of the corridor, wiped her tears, calmed down, and then returned to the door of the ward and pushed the door open.
Xiao Shaohui, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw Lin Jia come in, and suddenly felt a force that seemed to surge through his body, and he became energetic in an instant. He actually smiled at Lin Jia, even though the smile was very ugly. He raised his hand slightly, not knowing whether to signal Lin Jia to sit down, or to take Lin Jia's hand.
Lin Jia walked to his bedside, took his hand, and sat down. The two of them still have such a tacit understanding. Lin Jia also forced herself to smile and asked Xiao Shaohui:
"How are you?"
"Isn't that all?" Xiao Shaohui was weak when he spoke.
"What's going on? Why did you get sick like this? Lin Jia held back tears.
"Who knows? Bad luck. Xiao Shaohui pointed to the kettle on the small table next to him and said to Lin Jia:
"You pour your own water and drink."
"It's okay, not thirsty. Why didn't you tell me sooner? ”
"I didn't expect it to be so serious at first. The disease comes and goes fast. ”
"Is there anything uncomfortable about it?"
"I couldn't even speak, I felt uncomfortable all over my body. How are you, alright? ”
Lin Jia didn't answer him, and at that moment she made a decision. She let go of Xiao Shaohui's hand and said to him:
"I'm out for some business, and I'll be back in a minute."
Lin Jia came to the nurse's station again and carefully inquired about the situation of the nurses hired by Xiao Shaohui now. The nurse asked her what she was going to do.
She said: "I am his ex-wife, and I will take care of him in the future, you can see how you can lay off the nurse." ”
"It's okay to quit, it's just that we have a contract with the caregiver, so we don't need to say hello in advance."
"How many days in advance?"
"Three days, and if you are dismissed early, you need a little financial compensation."
Lin Jia didn't say a word, opened the bag, took out a stack of money from it and handed it to the nurse.
"Then let the nurse go tomorrow, and you can take the money."
The nurse was confused by her actions, the woman in front of her looked very beautiful and gentle, how could she be so decisive?
"We're going to settle the money last, and we don't need it now. I'll just talk to the caregiver. ”
"Well, thank you. I'll be here tomorrow. ”
Lin Jia returned to the ward and said to Xiao Shaohui:
"I quit your caregiver."
Xiao Shaohui was stunned.
"What are you doing? I can't live without people right now. ”
"Can you leave me?"
Xiao Shaohui reflected a little, and then understood what Lin Jia meant, and suddenly became a little excited.
"It's good that you can come and see me, how can I bother you? Besides, you're busy with business over there, so how can you have time? ”
"It's up to you, I've decided."
"Why are you still so impatient?"
"I can't change it in this life, I'll be with you from tomorrow."
"And what about your store?"
"You don't have to worry about it, I'll arrange it."
"What about him?"
"Who?" Lin Jia reacted to who Xiao Shaohui was talking about. "I said everything and I arranged everything. ”
"That's not appropriate, right?"
"You're still so ink, what's wrong with that?"
"You two, let's ...... like this"
"What's wrong with the two of us? If he's jealous about it, he'll fuck off! ”
Xiao Shaohui didn't say anything anymore. He was grateful to Lin Jia in his heart, but at the same time regretted that he only realized Lin Jia's goodness at this time.
When she saw Xiao Shaohui, everything was understood, and the last thing she wanted to see was the truth in front of her. Lin Jia also understood the reason why Xiao Shaohui was looking for himself, he would not contact him unless he had to, and his stubborn temper was enough to see. Her decision to take care of Xiao Shaohui was only decided in an instant, without any hesitation, and there was no need to know more about his condition, no matter what the result was, now she had to stay by Xiao Shaohui's side.
She told Xiao Shaohui that she was going back and arranged things to come back again. When she came out of the ward, she did not leave the hospital immediately, but found the doctor who treated Xiao Shaohui, she briefly asked about the condition, mainly to ask the doctor to give some advice, what to do according to Xiao Shaohui's situation. The doctor's statement was very clear, there was not much to go, and there was nothing the family could do but give him some comfort in the patient's last time. Lin Jia didn't ask any more, Xiao Shaohui's appearance and the doctor's attitude were enough to prove the same ending, which strengthened her idea that she must accompany Xiao Shaohui to the final journey.
On the way out of the hospital, she kept thinking that Xiao Shaohui was now desperate, facing a person who was about to die, helpless, and at this moment she was the only person she could think of and the only person who could help him. Twenty years seem to have passed in an instant, and the things they have experienced are like movies passing by one by one, and Lin Jia has no choice. There was only one thing that made her hesitate for a moment, that is, how to tell Zhang Jiuen, this hesitation appeared for a few seconds, and it was immediately deleted by herself, and she found a good reason, does a person who is about to die still need to cause jealousy? Even if Zhang Jiuen was jealous, it was not his fault in the first place, and he didn't do anything to be sorry for him. Secondly, if Zhang Jiuen is still small-bellied at this time, such a man is not worth getting along with himself. She took out her mobile phone, there were several calls from Zhang Jiuen on it, she didn't hesitate and immediately called Zhang Jiuen back. She didn't say anything on the phone, she just told Zhang Jiuen something and would go back later. And told him to prepare 20,000 yuan for himself. Zhang Jiuen asked her what she wanted money for? She didn't answer and hung up.
There is another thing that makes Lin Jia a little embarrassed, Xiao Shaohui said before that he didn't tell his daughter about his illness, on the one hand, he was afraid that it would affect her schooling, and on the other hand, he was afraid that she would be sad. If her daughter who is far away abroad knows about this, she will be very sad, her daughter's feelings for Xiao Shaohui are deeper than for herself, Lin Jia knows it very well. In fact, it's not just feelings, it's that her daughter's temper is somewhat similar to herself, and Xiao Shaohui is much more gentle to her daughter, so she is more worried. But how can you keep your daughter from knowing? What should I do if I know it? She can't take care of so much now, anyway, her daughter won't be able to come back for a while, so hide it from her first and then think about it later.
She couldn't figure out how Xiao Shaohui had such a serious illness at such a young age, Xiao Shaohui's body had always been very good before, it could be said that he was strong, whether it was appearance or physique, there was no problem. Maybe it's fate. Lin Jia suddenly regretted and blamed herself for that moment, she thought that maybe Xiao Shaohui's illness had something to do with herself, she had also paid attention to articles in this area before, it is said that this illness has a lot to do with mood and emotion, their divorce may have an impact on Xiao Shaohui, she is with Xiao Shaohui, and the people around her used to envy their husband and wife, thinking that their personalities are very compatible. She also thinks so, she and Xiao Shaohui are introverted and extroverted, one calm and one lively, which is indeed very complementary. It's just that Xiao Shaohui is too introverted, and he doesn't say a lot of words in his heart, which may be the reason for his illness, if this is the case, his responsibility cannot be relieved. Therefore, she should stand up at this moment, no matter what the reason is, no matter what the result is, she can't make Xiao Shaohui sad about it anymore.
She also thought of the woman she had a friend of, Xiao Shaohui's current girlfriend. If it was placed in the past, Lin Jia would not allow Xiao Shaohui to associate with other women, even if they were divorced. But since Lin Jia and Zhang Jiuen got better, they no longer pay attention to Xiao Shaohui. I was also hypocritical at the beginning. And now, why didn't Xiao Shaohui let that woman accompany him? This made her puzzled. At the same time, I am also a little glad that at the most critical moment, it is still the original husband and wife, okay, other women can't count on it.
It's been a long time since she's been so cranky because of Xiao Shaohui's matter, she parked her car on the side of the road and took out a box of cigarettes from her toolbox. The cigarette hadn't been smoked for a long time, and there were still a few left, all of which had already dried up, she skillfully licked the cigarette with her tongue, lit it, calmed herself down a little, and the past with Xiao Shaohui resurfaced in front of her.
