A wizened hand lifted the tabernacle, and the girl sitting on the edge of the bed reading looked at it alertly.

"Mom, do you want water?" She put down her book and walked to the bedside.

Before the person on the bed could speak, he gasped first, as if he had experienced a 100-meter sprint, a little out of breath.

The girl sat down on the edge of the bed, with one hand around her shoulders and the other on her back, with gentle movements, but her dark eyes were as beautiful as obsidian, glowing with a cold sheen.

More than 20 years have passed, and the condition is getting more and more serious, but she is stunned to hold on, relying on various precious medicinal materials to hang a breath, half-dead consumption.

She worked hard for her.

"Sihua, your dad...... Where's your dad? "It's a question that a woman asks almost every time she wakes up.

Tao Sihua lowered his eyes and saw that the woman's hair was not much left, there was no trace of blood on her face, and her body seemed to be a plant that had lost its nutrients, shrunken and withered.

Like an old monster.

If she was a father, I didn't want to come here to see her.

But this sentence can't be said, women are pitiful enough, if even herself, who is a daughter, is so insensitive to her, women may really die.

So Tao Sihua just patiently explained: "Dad is busy with the company's affairs and hasn't been home these days." ”

The woman opened her mouth wide and made a "hissing" sound from her throat, Tao Sihua knew that she was laughing, very nervous laughter, so she couldn't help frowning slightly.

After laughing, the woman gasped even more, and even rolled her eyes a few times, almost unable to turn around.

Tao Sihua couldn't stand it a little, she was really afraid that a woman would toss her half-dead life like this.

"Mom, lie down and rest, I'm here with you." Although she was extremely disgusted with the bitter smell of Chinese medicine and the enclosed space that seemed to be as dim as never daylight, she could not leave.

It was her mother, and she had no choice.

The woman's body has begun to exude the smell of death, like a piece of meat that has been left for a long time, little by little, decaying, spoiling, and corrupting with visible traces to the naked eye.

This room smells of erosion, it's more like a tomb.

And women are the living dead who are barely breathing.

Tao Sihua carefully pressed the woman back to the bed, folded the quilt for her, poured another cup of warm water, moistened it with a cotton swab, and slowly applied it to the woman's pale and dry lips.

The woman stared blankly at the ceiling with her blank eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, if it weren't for her breathing hard from time to time, Tao Sihua really thought that the person lying on the bed was already a cold corpse.

"I don't want you to pity me." The woman suddenly spat out such a sentence with great difficulty.

The hand holding the cotton swab paused in mid-air, Tao Sihua looked at the woman a little surprised, and found that her eyes were still scattered, and she didn't look at her, her face was empty and there was no expression.

It was like an auditory hallucination.

Tao Sihua simply pretended not to hear and continued to moisten her dry lips.

If she didn't pity her, she wouldn't have stayed to take care of her personally.

The Tao family is wealthy, and it is no problem to hire three or four escorts to serve her, and they are even more professional and patient than her.

But she knew that the woman would not agree.

She was too lonely, too lonely, too worried about being abandoned. She has been ruthlessly abandoned by her own husband, and she can't accept that even her own daughter has ignored her.

She's really going to die.

In fact, the body has been broken to such an extent that it is a relief to die.

She had been suffering from illness for so long that she had no fear of death. What she fears is never death itself, but that after she dies, the man she has loved all her life will unscrupulously forget about her and can't wait to find his first love.

She has been fighting all her life and can't win his heart, how can she be willing to give it to another woman for nothing.

"I can't die, Sihua, help my mother, I still have to live......" The woman's gaze finally showed a trace of emotional fluctuations, like a small pebble thrown into a pool of stagnant water, with black ripples.

The woman's eyes are actually very beautiful under closer inspection, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and they are a pair of peach blossom eyes that are looking forward to being amorous.

And she inherited the woman's eyes.

At this moment, two pairs of similar eyes are looking at each other, one is not shocked, and the other is unwilling to die.

"Of course I'll help you, Mom." Tao Sihua said gently.

Anyone can see that a woman is dying soon, and she is dying anyway, so what difference does it make if she is a little earlier or a little later.

It won't be long.

Tao Sihua remembered what Dr. Huang, who had been employed by the Tao family as a family doctor, had told her this morning. The kind of medicine that has been taking it has not had the desired effect, and if you take it again, it will not only be useless, but it will also cause harm to the patient's body. However, it is not possible to stop the medication immediately because the patient's body has become dependent on the medication.

The only way to do this is to slowly reduce the dosage you take.

What a paradoxical situation.

I can't leave it, but I am hurt.

It's like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst.

If even Dr. Huang, who is most familiar with a woman's condition, is helpless, who else can prolong a woman's life?

If Dr. Huang can't do it, he can only find another one.

The face of a smiling man with gold-rimmed glasses came to mind.

He is the netizen who called this morning, a well-known doctor in Yuncheng, who once reported his experience in relevant magazines.

Young talent with a bright future.

The girls in the group all have infinite fantasies about him.

Except for her.

She admired him, but she didn't have a heart.

And he seems to have a soft spot for himself.

A woman is always sensitive in this regard, not to mention, she is already too familiar with the gaze of her admirer.

Asking him for help is definitely a matter of words.

The moonlight outside the window is very good, and the sky is dark red, indicating that tomorrow will be sunny weather.

Hua Tao went to the hospital after dinner at home, and packed a soup on the way, because she didn't bring a thermos cup when she went out, so she could only use a disposable lunch box.

A little less sincere.

But even if he used a thermos cup, he must have known that it was not her soup, he knew her cooking skills very well, and if she really boiled it, it was estimated that he would drink it very painfully.

When Hua Tao arrived, there were already visitors in the ward. The door was hidden, and the inside could be seen through the crack in the open door.

Xia Ershao was recognized by her, and the other two people could easily deduce their identities.

Sitting was a dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman, holding her hair in a bun, wearing a well-fitting black dress, with an elegant temperament.

It must be Mrs. Xia.

There was a slim girl standing beside her, with delicate and delicate facial features, and she was very moving, and she knew at a glance that she was sensible and well-behaved.

It is not difficult to guess that this is the "childhood sweetheart" in Xia Ershao's mouth.

Everyone in the room had noticed someone outside the door, and they all turned their heads to look at it.

Hua Tao had to push the door in front of everyone, it was fake that she was not nervous, but she still pretended to be calm, first nodded to Mrs. Xia, and then moved her gaze to Xia Sheng's face.

Xia Sheng was also smiling at her, and naturally introduced her: "Auntie, this is my friend Hua Tao." ”

"Hello aunt." Hua Tao Luo generously greeted Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia looked up at her and looked at her carefully for a long time, so long that she was a little uncomfortable.

"Good boy, your name is ...... Peach? Mrs. Xia asked with a kind smile.

"Well, yes, you can call me Momo." Hua Tao didn't know if it was her own illusion, and she always felt that Mrs. Xia looked at her a little ...... just now Weird.

It's like knowing her, and it's like remembering someone through her.

Hua Tao's appearance is full of Hua Yunruo, she can't help but think crankily, does Mrs. Xia know her mother?

But...... It doesn't make sense, they are basically two people of different social classes, and I haven't heard my mother say that there is such a local tyrant friend.

So...... It's just that she thinks too much, and people just look at her twice.

When Mrs. Xia laughed, a faint wrinkle appeared at the corner of her eyes, which not only did not damage her beauty, but made her look more mature and womanly. She looked at Hua Tao and smiled: "You are friends with Ah Sheng, and you also know Han Ming, right?" ”

Well, Hua Tao felt that at this moment, even if she lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, she still had to spend a time, she had not forgotten that Ah Mu was Mrs. Xia's intelligence officer, and she had already figured out their every move in Honglin Town.

Now there is such a question, and it is clearly a knowingly question.

How would she answer?

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xia Hanming standing against the wall with his hands on his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up with a smile on his face, with an expression of waiting to see a good show.

"I know, but I haven't known each other for a long time, and I'm just an ordinary friend." Hua Tao didn't intend to hide it, and she wasn't stupid, knowing that Mrs. Xia knew everything, except to tell the truth, there was no better choice.

I just don't know how Ah Mu described her to Mrs. Xia, I hope she didn't become a vixen in Mrs. Xia's heart.

"Young people, easy to get acquainted with." Mrs. Xia nodded and smiled, then turned her head to look at the girl who had been standing behind her obediently, "Jia Ji, you also come to meet your brother Sheng's friend, you are the same age as her, you should have a common topic." ”

The girl listened to Mrs. Xia's words, smiled a little shyly at Hua Tao, and then said, "Hello, Miss Hua, my name is Gu Jiaqi, it's a pleasure to meet you." "Her voice is crisp and beautiful.

Hua Tao's first thought was, ah, KK was compared, but unfortunately she couldn't be recruited to the studio.

"I'm also glad to meet you, you just call me Little Peach." Although Xia Ershao had previously predicted to her that Xia Sheng's childhood sweetheart had an unshakable status in the main palace, Hua Tao couldn't show any hostility when she saw her at first sight.

The little girl's temperament is very clean and soft, and in the palace fighting drama, she is the most indisputable White Lotus cannon fodder, she can't survive more than three episodes, let alone compete for favor, and she can't even protect herself.

Xia Ershao loves to be alarmist.

Mrs. Xia stood up from her seat and said with a faint smile: "It's not too early, Han Ming, good time, let's go back." Then he turned to Xia Sheng and said, "You have a good rest, when Xiao Tao goes back, you call the driver and ask him to drive to deliver Xiao Tao." ”

"Ah, you're welcome, I'll take a taxi myself." Hua Tao hurriedly refused.

Mrs. Xia didn't insist any longer, turned around and walked towards the door, leaving with Xia Hanming and Gu Jiaqi.

It really leaves them room to be alone.
