Chapter 71: A strong desire to survive
Shen Mi underestimated Xi Lie's influence from a distance, and it wasn't until she went out to buy vegetables that she found that someone was secretly taking pictures, and she knew that Xi Lie's affection had become a topic of conversation among the people of Yuncheng after dinner.
"Today I have arranged for Xiaoyu to book a place, do you like outdoor or indoors?" Xi Lie hugged her shoulders, not caring about the stares of the people around her.
"Indoors! What if it rains? Shen Mi had already gotten used to what he said in the past two days, but somehow, she suddenly became much more stubborn, and her resolute appearance made her feel as if she had changed someone.
"I'll go to the hospital on an empty stomach this morning."
When Shen Mi heard this, he remembered that today was the day he had made an appointment with Yang Cheng for chemotherapy. She tugged at the corners of her mouth and hung her head silently.
"Don't worry, even if you search all over the world, I will save you." Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he comforted her.
Shen Mi nodded, pretending to be strong and smiling.
Early in the morning, the hospital was full of people, and Shen Mi obviously felt that his physical strength had dropped significantly, and he had to hold Xi Lie's arm after walking a few steps.
"Big sister?"
The two were waiting for the elevator stall at the door, and a crisp shout came from behind them.
Shen Mi turned her head slowly, and found that Amy was looking at her with big eyes, holding a thermos bucket and some medicines in her hand.
"Amy......" she smiled.
"Sister, and handsome guys, why did you come to the hospital? Feeling unwell? Still is...... Pregnant? She said with sparkling eyes, looking at her with bad intentions, a small pear vortex at the corner of her mouth.
"A little uncomfortable, how about you? What's wrong? Shen Mi asked politely.
"Alas. My mom went out for a drink yesterday and drank too much and got alcohol poisoning. It's a lot of headaches! Amy muttered and raised the thermos bucket in her hand, "I'm afraid she'll wake up hungry, so I'll get her something to eat." ”
"Seriously? Awake? Hearing this, Shen Mi asked worriedly.
Duan Li usually treats her well, and she should also care about what happens when people are hospitalized, or take a look.
"Alcohol poisoning, stomach bleeding, tossing and turning all night last night, only falling asleep in the morning. There should be nothing to do, thank you for your concern! Amy said with a smile, and Shen Mi's heart was put down.
"Then, I'll call you when I'm done, and I'll go and take a look at the paragraph."
As soon as Shen Mi's words fell, the elevator door opened with a "ding", she smiled, held Xi Lie, who was speechless, and paced in, Amy waved at her, and then turned around and went to the inpatient department.
Shen Mi was taken to the treatment room, lying on the hospital bed, she was a little uncomfortable.
Hanging the bottle, one of her hearts was beating fast, and looking at Xi Lie's worried face, she was even more scared in her heart.
"After a while, you may feel dry mouth and stinging in the back, which are normal reactions, drink more water, and call a nurse if necessary." Yang Cheng explained word by word, carefully helped her control the speed of the liquid, and then patted Xi Lie's shoulder and walked out of the ward.
"Sleepy? Do you want to get some sleep? Xi Lie sat down on the edge of her bed, a pair of deep eyes staring at her tightly.
"No, I'm not sleepy." In fact, she was a little scared, in this case, let alone sleeping, she didn't even dare to close her eyes.
I'm afraid I'll never wake up again.
After a while, Yang Cheng beckoned to Xi Lie and motioned for him to go out.
A nurse was not at ease and pushed the door open to guard her.
"Hey, are you the bride who was very popular on the Internet some time ago?" The nurse blinked, staring curiously at her little pale face.
Shen Mi was uncomfortably panicked at this moment, and every time she breathed, she felt that her internal organs were twitching, but she just glanced at her lightly and didn't answer.
"It's really you!" The nurse came up to look at her for a long time, "It's really heart-wrenching." ”
As she spoke, the little girl sighed faintly, and the expression of a little gossip hung on her face.
"Could you please pour me a glass of water?" Shen Mi raised his eyes with great difficulty and asked.
"Oh yes, wait a minute!" Only then did the nurse put away her mind and skillfully poured her a glass of warm water, and she took a sip, which was sweet.
"You need to keep up with nutrition, and although there are a lot of things to avoid, you must eat them. Many patients will have malnutrition reactions in the end, and their bodies will be damaged. The little nurse helped her lie down, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and enthusiastically admonished.
Shen Mi nodded silently.
"I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time right now, and I may not be able to catch up with you."
The little nurse pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment when she heard this, "No, no, no, Professor Yang talks too much about me every day, I just can't help but want to ask." Disturbed ......"
Shen Mi glanced at her annoyed face and smiled effortlessly, "Can I ask you some questions?" ”
The nurse nodded like pounded garlic: "Ask!" ”
"If I can't find a suitable match for my disease...... Is it incurable? ”
"Strictly speaking, bone marrow transplantation depends on whether there is a rejection reaction, and it is not that the bone marrow transplant will be fine...... Treatment is a very arduous process, and it is a kind of destruction for the patient's body and mind......" The little nurse blinked and replied seriously, and then seemed to find that her remarks were a little off, and patted her mouth awkwardly, "But the possibility of cure is very high, you don't have psychological pressure, those who are sick and scare themselves to death also have ......"
Shen Mi lowered his eyes, and his heart sank.
"Really, don't be pressured. Those who are optimistic have a much higher cure rate! The little nurse was shocked when she saw her dim eyes, and subconsciously explained.
"I see. Thank you. Shen Mi nodded, holding back the dull pain in her chest, and smiled at her.
Just as Xi Lie came back, the nurse stood up in a panic and walked out of the ward with a puff of smoke.
"What did Uncle Yang tell you?" Shen Miqiang cheered up and asked casually.
"I didn't say anything, it's just the follow-up treatment, don't think about it." Xi Lie stroked her face and said softly.
"Death, longevity!" The little nurse hurried back to the duty room, "I seem to have said the wrong thing to Mrs. Xi just now!" She looked unhappy! What to do, what to do? Will Professor Yang murder me again in a while? ”
"Is it really that Mrs. Xi on the Internet?"
"Are you sure? That Mrs. Xi has leukemia? ”
A group of people gathered around and asked.
"That's it, I've seen her before, and I only know that Professor Yang has a good relationship with them, but I didn't expect it to be such a powerful person." The other nurse was busy with her hands and said nonchalantly.
"That's really miserable!"
"I mean, I seem to be in trouble, why are your concerns so strange? Concerned about me, okay? "The little nurse is angry.
"It's okay, I think that woman is very good, I won't do anything to you, but your mouth should really be taken care of!"
“...... I've already apologized to her, should it be fine, right? She asked worriedly.
"You're in a hurry, aren't you?" The head nurse let out a low roar, and they all hung their heads and scattered.
A bottle of drip was almost finished, Shen Mi felt that people were a little uncomfortable, and his stomach was also rolling, he struggled to get up, covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom on the side, retching.
Xi Lie frowned and helped her smooth her back on the side, "Can you still go?" I'll hold you. ”
"No, I'm fine......" Shen Mi rinsed his mouth, stood up breathlessly, and hung his arm weakly in the crook of Xi Lie's arm, and it took a while to feel that he had regained some strength.
It is said that the initial symptoms of leukemia are not obvious, and she obviously feels that her mental state and physical strength are not as good as day by day, and now she feels a little tired even walking two steps.
"If you're like this, let's go back and rest, you want to see you edit, I'll accompany you to come back later." Xi Lie patted her emaciated shoulder, held her waist with his big hands, and walked slowly with her gait.
Shen Mi thought for a moment and nodded.
She really doesn't have the energy now, the potion just now was hanging, she was uncomfortable all over, and there was a faint pain in her chest, as if she had been injured internally.
When she got home, she lay down on the bed, and Xi Lie took care of her with tea and water on the side.
"You have to drink more water, after chemotherapy the toxins build up and need to be eliminated." As he spoke, he brought a large glass of warm water, and Shen Miqiang cheered up and poured a large cup.
After pouring several cups in a row, she got up in an average of ten minutes to go to the bathroom before he was satisfied.
"From today onwards, you have to avoid food, I went to hire a dietitian, who is responsible for your meal match every day, you have to eat more obediently." Xi Lie was busy in the kitchen, and he didn't forget to tell her.
She lay down for a while, with some backache, so she got up and sat at the kitchen table in a demented state of mind to watch him cook.
was stunned, Xi Lie's mobile phone rang.
"Who?" He was busy washing the dishes and asked casually.
Shen Mi glanced at it, "Song Shuwen." ”
Xi Lie's hand washing the vegetables paused, and then there was no follow-up.
"You don't answer the phone?" She asked as she glanced at him suspiciously, looked at her sleepless phone, and asked.
"No matter." He replied coldly.
Shen Mi didn't know what happened between the two of them, but she also guessed a rough idea in her heart, looking at his tightly knit brows, she sighed, and watched the screen gradually dim, and after a while, it lit up again.
"Huh? It's sister-in-law, take it quickly! Shen Mi saw Lai Xian sharply, Xi Lie's eyes sank, he quickly threw down the vegetables in his hand, dried his hands, rushed over in a few big steps, and took the phone.
He also paced to the side with a deliberate attitude.
Shen Mi didn't know what he was doing, so he looked at his back and pouted with interest.
After a while, Xi Lie came back, and his expression was irrepressibly gloomy.
"What's going on again? Also mysterious. Shen Mi glanced at him and asked nonchalantly.
Xi Lie shook his head and didn't answer, just threw his phone aside and started doing what he had just done again.
Something is wrong, nothing is right!
Shen Mi blinked, looking at his somewhat tangled eyebrows, and many possibilities suddenly flashed in his heart.
Before the meal was cooked, the doorbell rang at the door, and Shen Mi went to open the door and found that Chen Man, who had never been to this house.
"Mom?" She screamed for some reason, but saw Chen Man's eyes red, and when she saw her, she silently grabbed her thin arm, and wanted to cry first.
"Mom, what's wrong? What's that on your face? Shen Mi was a little panicked, and hurriedly held Chen Man, who was speechless, and shouted at the top of his voice to call Xi Lie to come and help.
Seeing Chen Man's tearful appearance, Xi Lie didn't seem surprised, but helped her to the sofa and sat down with a calm face.
"Lie'er, when did this happen?" Chen Man stroked his chest and asked in a trembling voice.
Shen Mi was a little foggy, poking his head out to look at the mother and son, as if something big had happened, both with sad faces.
"It's been two months since I was diagnosed." Xi Lie sighed and replied in a low voice.
Shen Mi was shocked, stunned and speechless.
Chen Man knows about her illness!!
"Daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law, how could you ......." Chen Man glanced at her with a pale face, muttered sadly, tears sliding down like beads of broken threads.
"Xi Lie, this, what's going on......" Shen Mi muttered.
Originally, she thought that her illness was tacitly hidden from her elders. But looking at Chen Man's appearance now, Xi Lie obviously knew that they all knew!
"The matter of going to the hospital for chemotherapy in the morning was posted on the Internet." Xi Lie lowered his eyes and replied.
"Online?!"
Shen Mi was shocked, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and opened the web page.
See things like: Major General Xi's beloved wife is seriously ill! Showing up in the hospital for chemotherapy! She almost collapsed on the ground with her legs limp.
"What are you doing in a daze, please beg my sister-in-law to block the source!" She felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, especially looking at Chen Man's heartbroken appearance, she didn't dare to think about how the old people in the old mansion would react when they saw the news.
Xi Lie lowered his eyes and didn't answer, helped her to the sofa and sat down, his brows furrowed.
"Daughter-in-law...... I'm sorry for you. Chen Man looked at her thinning cheeks and muttered sadly.
"Mom......" She felt a breath in her throat, very uncomfortable, "Mom, grandparents ....... them"
"Grandparents don't know the news yet, I've already explained it to the next people, and I should be able to hide it for a while." Chen Man wiped a handful of tears and grabbed her hand lovingly.
"Daughter-in-law, you have to treat it well, don't worry about the rest!"
Shen Mi's nose was sour, and he nodded obediently, squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Where's Dad?" Xi Lie sighed and asked.
"Your dad almost had high blood pressure again, and he is contacting his former friend to treat his daughter-in-law. I'm just too scared, come and see my daughter-in-law, this, I'll go back. ”
Chen Man said, staggering and standing up, "Daughter-in-law, it's going to be fine, it's going to be okay." ”
Shen Mi nodded, Douda's tears fell silently, she quickly turned her head to wipe it away, and hung up a smile that reassured Chen Man.
"Mom, I'm already very active in receiving chemotherapy, don't worry, I will work hard."
"Lie'er, you accompany your daughter-in-law, you don't need to send it, Lao Zhang is waiting downstairs." Chen Man said, a little reluctant to leave.
Shen Mi collapsed on the sofa tiredly, his mind in a mess.
The old house has a lot of mouthfuls, and if anyone leaks in front of the old man, she can't imagine the consequences.
"My sister-in-law called just now, is that what I said? Why don't you let my sister-in-law stop the news, she obviously has that ability! ”
Seeing Xi Lie coming back worried, she was a little angry.
Now the whole world knows that his wife Xi Lie is a leukemia patient, and I really don't know what he is thinking!
"Don't be offended, I want to help you find the right fit faster. I can't think of anything faster than this method of publicity. Xi Lie sighed, paced beside her, and explained in a low voice.
"Spread the word?" Shen Mi frowned.
Only in this way can people you know who you don't know may think about donating bone marrow to see if it can help you. Those people in my army, plus the bone marrow bank match, I am not at ease. ”
Xi Lie said, lowering his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Do you understand my feelings?"
Shen Mi couldn't complain anymore, but hung his head silently.
It's not that she doesn't know that Xi Lie has been sleeping restlessly these few nights, and sometimes she is so uncomfortable that she can't sleep at night, and she will find that his eyes are open and he hasn't slept.
Although he didn't say it, she could see that he was carrying it.
In order not to show a strong appearance in front of her, he never showed his vulnerable side.
She knew everything, so she cheered up and received all kinds of treatments, and she didn't tell him about losing her hair and nosebleeds, just because she was afraid that he would be frightened.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper."
After a long silence, she sighed and apologized.
Hearing this, Xi Lie stretched out his long arm and took her into his arms.
"It's going to be fine. I will do whatever it takes to find the right match for you. You don't have to think about anything, I'll carry it with you. Stroking her back, he said in a deep voice.
His embrace reassured her, the tip of her nose lingered with the scent of shower gel, she nodded angrily, and the sorrow in her heart vanished and filled with strength.
"Shall we send a request for help, send out my blood type or something, see if there are enthusiastic people willing to help, and go to the hospital to do a matching ......"
Xi Lie stroked her head, "Yes, I will arrange it, you can keep it in peace, and there will be good news soon." ”
She nodded and patted him on the back soothingly.
"When you're tired, tell me, don't hide it alone."
The two of them were tired for a while, and then she shouted that she was hungry, and Xi Lie found that the dishes she had prepared were cold, so she had to go back to work again.
She had nothing to do, so she went to the Internet and made a post on the Internet.
I took a photo of my medical records, racked my brains, and wrote a sincere help post.
A photo of Xi Lie working in the kitchen was also attached.
She suddenly realized just now what the desire to survive was.
It's not that I don't want to die, but I try my best to save myself, even if there is a little hope, I can't let it go.
She wanted to cure her illness and give him a few little Xi Lie.
I want to see Chen Man and them happily hugging their grandson, instead of worrying and worrying and washing their faces with tears.
I have to say, she is a lucky one.
Instead of disliking her for being a patient, the Xi family was worried about her and took on the responsibility of treating the disease, making her feel the love she didn't feel when she was a child.
What more could you ask for.
After the news of her illness broke, her phone was about to burst.
The most shocked is none other than Zhao Zihao.
When he came to her with a stubbled beard, he actually hugged her and cried.
What was a little big crying by him, and he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
"Sister is still alive, why are you crying so sadly?"
Zhao Zihao looked aggrieved and sad, "Sister, don't tell me if you're sick!" I'm still disobedient and raise the bar with you every day! Excuse me to do this and that, I'm such a terrible brother! ”
"Okay, okay, my aunt hasn't called me yet, I don't know yet, you can keep your mouth shut, she can't suffer any more blows now!" Shen Mi said earnestly.
"How could she not stand the blows, didn't she hit you a lot before? She won't cry like me! Zhao Zihao sobbed and wiped his tears.
"Just shut up anyway, huh?" Shen Mi sighed, thinking that Shen Jie's physical condition was now more serious than her, and swallowed back everything she wanted to say.
"Sister, I suddenly thought, I'm your brother, is it possible for us to match?" Zhao Zihao's eyes widened and he looked at her anxiously.
"I don't think so, I want my own mother or a brother or sister who is related to my parents." Shen Mi shook his head and patted him on the shoulder with a big grin, "Don't worry, there are so many people, I will definitely be able to find a suitable one." ”
Zhao Zihao gritted his teeth, nodded unwillingly, and blinked his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Brother-in-law, I have something I want to ask you."
After Xi Lie finished making the call, he strode over and said hello to Zhao Zihao.
Shen Mi was busy scrolling through posts, so he couldn't take care of them.
"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" Zhao Zihao was taken to the study by Xi Lie and subconsciously closed the door.
"Sit down." Xi Lie sat down on the sofa next to him and commanded.
"There are two main things. First, I want you to find out the whereabouts of Mi'er's mother. After all, you didn't seem to be happy to say it when I asked you, and now is not the time to worry about old hatreds. ”
Zhao Zihao lowered his eyes when he heard this, "I'll check when I go back." It's just that she must have forgotten that she has such a daughter. ”
"Also, I guess she couldn't recognize my sister's name when she heard it. Because my sister changed her name at the beginning. ”
Xi Lie was stunned when he heard this, "When did it happen?" ”
"It's very early, my sister was still young at that time, because the previous name was given by my aunt, and after she left, my mother was angry and took my sister to change her name. Later, when the hukou became independent, I skipped this matter. ”
"What's your former name?" Xi Lie frowned and asked.
"I was still young at the time, where do I know what the name is, I have to go back and ask my mother about this." Zhao Zihao said, a pair of big eyes flashed, "Brother-in-law, what's the second thing?" ”
Hearing this, Xi Lie took out a file bag from the drawer of his desk and handed it to him.
Zhao Zihao opened the bag for some reason, took out a few pieces of paper from it, and looked at it with his eyebrows twisted.
"Brother-in-law, what is this?" He was a little confused.
"I know what you're looking for." Xi Lie sighed and replied.
Zhao Zihao's expression froze, "But, does this have anything to do with what I investigated?" ”
"What I want to tell you, what you're doing right now, has put you in a dangerous situation. You can tell me what you know, and I'll look it up for you. ”
"You also know......" Xi Lie said, his eyes were slightly dark, and his expression was a little fierce, "The person concerned is my second uncle." ”
