Chapter 53: She Knew She Was Going to Die Soon
Yao Zhiyue sat on a chair in the hospital corridor, staring at the snow-white wall with empty eyes, her thin lips pursed, and a sad look appeared at the corners of her eyebrows. Tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, and two lines of clear tears slipped down silently.
"Hey, you should be mentally prepared first. The patient is now in the advanced stage of stomach cancer, and I am afraid that he will not survive for a year. ”
The doctor's words swirled in Yao Zhiyue's mind, and she never thought that she would hear such a ruthless fate sentence in her lifetime. She would rather not hear Yao Zhen's confession last night in her life, although they are both painful, but this will not happen.
Yao Zhiyue deceived herself and thought that all this was just that she was not mentally prepared to say goodbye to her loved ones at all, and she couldn't face her loneliness in this world.
Hearing Yao Zhen's coughing sound in the ward, Yao Zhiyue pulled back her thoughts, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, patted her cheeks with both hands a few times, forced herself to squeeze out a smile, pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.
The moment Yao Zhen saw her daughter, her eyes instantly bloomed, her eyebrows slowly stretched, her face was a surprise that could not be concealed, she looked at Yao Zhiyue and said cautiously: "I, I thought you were gone." ”
Yao Zhiyue looked at her as if she had aged ten years all of a sudden, like a plump grape suddenly shrunk into a raisin, a sadness welled up in her heart, her nose was slightly calculated, and tears almost fell.
All along, the resentment that my heart had against her suddenly disappeared, and only the concern for each other remained. She gently took the water cup in Yao Zhen's hand, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, and took another apple and peeled it carefully.
Yao Zhen took a sip of water, her eyes were covered with tears, and her kind and soft gaze shrouded Yao Zhiyue, looking at her quietly. How long has it been between their mother and daughter, or never been so quiet in the same space.
Yao Zhiyue cut the peeled apple into small pieces, gently handed it to Yao Zhen's mouth, and said with a smile: "It's quite sweet, you try it." ”
Yao Zhen nodded and opened her mouth, but not long after swallowing, she felt her stomach tumble over. Her brows were imperceptibly furrowed, and she still had a smile on her face, trying her best to suppress the nausea, forcing herself to eat another piece of apple handed by her daughter.
However, as soon as she swallowed it this time, there was a burst of pantothenic acid in her esophagus, and she didn't have time to tell Yao Zhiyue to go away, and she had already spit out vomit in her mouth. At this time, the stomach was empty, and all that was spit out was sour and bitter yellow water.
Yao Zhiyue hurriedly put down the apple, neatly cleaned up the vomit, didn't dare to look at Yao Zhen, but just held back her tears from falling.
Yao Zhen looked at Yao Zhiyue at a loss, and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I really can't help it." ”
Yao Zhen's caution made Yao Zhiyue's heart even more uncomfortable, as if overnight, this woman who was strong in her eyes suddenly became an old woman. She didn't want to see her cautious, she would rather she still be the same fierce person who scolded her endlessly.
Yao Zhiyue took advantage of Yao Zhen's inattention, and secretly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, not daring to speak. And Yao Zhen thought that Yao Zhiyue was angry, looked helpless, and said in a low voice and sadness: "You, you better go back to work, I can handle it myself." ”
She has never had a good face for her daughter, and she doesn't know how to love her, even if her daughter doesn't care about her, she deserves it, her retribution.
Hearing Yao Zhen's self-blame, Yao Zhiyue quickly adjusted her mood and comforted: "It's okay, I resigned, there is a lot of time." ”
Yao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then scolded angrily: "You are crazy, why are you resigning in a good manner?" You're going to drink the northwest wind, you. ”
Hearing Yao Zhen's sudden anger, Yao Zhiyue was quite relieved, a smile appeared between her eyebrows, and she said firmly: "Don't worry, I can feed our mother and daughter." ”
Yao Zhen was stunned again, then turned her head away, quietly wiped her tears, and said with remorse: "I originally had some savings on me, but I heard that it was a lot of money to make money from the stock market." I thought, you're in your early twenties this year, and you're going to have to prepare for a dowry, and who knows if you're thrown into the sea like a pebble, and you don't make a sound. I asked someone to borrow money, just to get the book back, but who knew that I had made a big hole, and the 200,000 yuan was filled in. ”
Yao Zhiyue just sighed and didn't say anything. At least, the hole was filled, otherwise it would have been a leak in the house that had rained overnight.
Since Yao Zhen was hospitalized, Yao Zhiyue has been running at both ends of the hospital and home, and in just one week, she has lost a lot of weight, almost leaving only skin and bones.
She borrowed it from her relatives, and in the end, only a cousin who had nothing to do with her transferred 1,000 to her, barely enough to pay for her hospitalization. She has known that the world is hot and cold since she was a child, and if she hadn't been forced into this situation, how dare she experience it again.
When Yao Zhiyue returned home, she couldn't turn on the light, thinking that the bulb was burned out. She dragged her tired body to boil the kettle of water to drink, but the faucet turned on to the maximum and there was not a drop of water.
Only then did she realize that the current water and power outage was most likely due to the fact that she had not renewed her utility bills. She found her utility card, and was about to pay her utility bill when she remembered that she was penniless, and couldn't help but sit on the sofa in a gloomy mood.
I don't know how long I've been sitting alone in the dark, but the glare of my phone breaks through the darkness and emits a faint light. She hesitated for a long time, but finally did not call Li Chenghao's mobile phone number.
It seemed like it had only been a week, but she felt that a century had passed, and Li Chenghao's gentle and handsome face gradually blurred in her mind, as if his appearance was just an illusion.
Yao Zhiyue opened WeChat, but with just one transfer, the chat history between her and Li Chenghao bottomed out. The most recent contact was from him three days ago: "What are you doing?" ”
She was busy taking care of her mother at the time, and then she was so busy calling to borrow money that she forgot to reply. Yao Zhiyue edited a large paragraph of text in the chat box, and then deleted it, and after repeating it a few times, she posted: "How are you doing lately?" ”
Soon, Li Chenghao replied: "It's the same as before, I am busy with meetings and meeting customers every day. ”
Yao Zhiyue suddenly didn't know how to reply, and a sense of humor rose in her heart. She clearly wanted to tell him about her helplessness and pain. Tell him that she misses him a lot. Tell him that you want him to stay with her.
In the end, Yao Zhiyue simply sent a sentence, "Then you take care of your body." ”
"Well, you too."
Yao Zhiyue smiled bitterly, threw her phone on the sofa, and buried her head with her arms and knees, wanting to disappear from this world like this.
However, now is not the time to be willful at all. She took a breath a little, picked up her phone again, and plucked up the courage to send a WeChat message to Song Lingling, "Lingling, can you lend me two thousand yuan?" I'm in a hurry now. ”
Song Lingling quickly transferred two thousand to her, and sent another sentence, followed by a smiling expression, "When will you come back and tell my sister, Zhong Lei and I will pick you up." ”
Yao Zhiyue's nose was sour, and she swore that she must cherish and repay this good friend in this life. She clicked on the red envelope with trembling hands, sent a hugging expression, and sent another sentence, "I'll go back after the matter here is dealt with." Lingling, I miss you so much. ”
"Sister misses you too!"
Yao Zhiyue put her mobile phone in her pocket and took her water and electricity card to the property to pay the utility bill. The next day, before dawn, she got up to cook and prepare all three meals for the day.
When she came to the hospital ward, Yao Zhiyue was sweating profusely, took two pieces of paper and wiped the sweat beads on her face casually, and said with a smile: "There is your favorite egg custard today, you have to eat two more bites." ”
Yao Zhen looked at Yao Zhiyue lovingly, how glad she was that she had overcome public opinion and gave birth to this daughter with the determination of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
If time could be turned back, she would not hand over her daughter to someone other than her to raise for a minute, she would be the most tender mother in the world, and give all her love to her sweetheart.
But that's only if. The mistakes she made were never erased because of her confession, and her life would not be repeated.
Yao Zhen ate two bites hard, and her stomach habitually turned over the river and the sea. She didn't want to force it, so that her daughter would have to scramble to clean up her filthy vomit.
Yao Zhiyue's eyes turned red, she just silently put away the food, didn't start, and pretended to be brisk: "It's too fishy, isn't it?" I was in a bit of a hurry in the morning, and I forgot to add vinegar to get rid of the fish. ”
Yao Zhen looked at her daughter's thin face and a lot smaller, and her chin was sharper than before, and she felt a pain in her heart, so she weakly took Yao Zhiyue's hand and rubbed it gently.
"Silly boy, don't be busy. Today, you can take me out of the hospital. ”
Yao Zhiyue frowned slightly, "How did you get discharged from the hospital when you were sick?" Don't worry, I'll take you out of the hospital when you're done with the surgery and you're well. ”
Yao Zhen looked at Yao Zhiyue's flickering eyes, chuckled, and said weakly: "Mom won't live long, don't waste money." I have all that money on my body, and I plan for myself. Remember to find someone who knows warmth and heat, what kind of material and what it looks like, don't care so much. Of course, it's better to have some money, let's not marry if you're too poor, you've suffered enough......"
Listening to Yao Zhen's appearance of already explaining the aftermath, Yao Zhiyue's nose was sour, obviously very sad and sad, but she couldn't help but say angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Isn't it just a stomach ulcer, it's not a serious disease, it's a matter of minor surgery, what's so hypocritical! ”
Yao Zhen still looked at Yao Zhiyue quietly, with a contented smile between her eyebrows. These days, she vomits blood more and more often, even if she drinks saliva, she vomits for half a day.
Two days ago, when she vomited blood again in the middle of the night, she heard the whispers of family members next to her. It's the same thing to say that a certain relative, and in less than two months the person is gone. She realized that she was terminally ill.
Yao Zhen stared until dawn, she couldn't accept it at first, she was not old, she and her daughter had just rebuilt, why did she have a terminal illness? Why her?
Strangely, calmer and quicker than she expected, she accepted the bad news. Thinking about it, the knots in her heart were untied, as if the regret was really not so deep.
The only concern is the daughter, but fortunately, the daughter has not had a deep relationship with her since she was a child, and I believe that the child will not be sad for too long, let alone as hard as her grandmother when she died.
After Yao Zhiyue finished speaking, Yao Zhen said without hurry: "For the rest of the day, I want to get along with you well." I want to cook you a meal and go for a walk with you. ”
Yao Zhiyue's tears could no longer be held back, and they slid down like beads with broken threads, gradually crying from silent to crying. These days, her strong support has collapsed, and at this time it is completely crumbling.
Yao Zhen cried together, the long-lost motherhood flourished, and she deeply felt that the child's every move deeply affected the heart of motherhood. She cried, and she cried. She laughed, and she laughed too.
