Chapter 59: Terminal Illness

At the desk sat a man of about 40 years old, holding a medical record in his hand, bowing his head and talking to the man sitting at the desk about medical words that Xia did not understand, and the two of them had a relaxed expression.

When he saw someone coming, he hurriedly removed half of his buttocks from the desk, nodded slightly to the pharmacist Wang, and sat down on the chair beside him.

"Xiao Xia, this is Director Li, classmates, you can come over too." As he spoke, he handed over the document bag and the medicine, "What I told you before......"

Director Li nodded, looked at the medicine bag, put it aside, and then skillfully opened the file bag.

"Sit down." Director Li was wearing a snow-white coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes were very attentive, and when he was concentrating on the test report, he waved his hand at them without raising his head and motioned for them to sit down.

There were 2 chairs in front of the desk, and Pharmacist Wang asked Xia and Shi Xia to sit down, while he wandered around the office, chatting with another person from time to time.

In less than 1 minute, Director Li put down the test sheet, put the few drugs that were only half left in front of them, and said, "The ingredients of this capsule are polyene phosphatidylcholine, diammonium glycyrrhizinate, and ......."

Pharmacist Wang suddenly interjected and said, "You talk in layman's terms. ”

Summer picked up the plastic bag containing the pills and asked him anxiously, "Doctor, what kind of medicine is this?" ”

Director Li said: "For the treatment of liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc. ”

Fortunately, it wasn't cancer, and Summer breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had regained her life.

"Is it serious?" Thinking of Xia Xi's lifeless face, Xia asked.

"This ......," Director Li thought about how to answer.

"Yan is not serious, you can't see it with a few pills, you bring the patient and do a comprehensive examination, so that you can make a conclusion." Pharmacist Wang said.

He ...... His eyes are a little yellow, his face is very bad, gray is not a little, no, it is also yellowish. Summer tried her best to describe Xia Xi's face.

"Every day, I can't let the doctor judge like this." Shi Xia said to her.

Xia Xi hid her illness, is she really willing to come to the hospital with her for an examination?

"Do people die if they have liver disease?" After a moment of silence, Summer asked.

"It depends on how serious the patient's condition is, if the liver cancer is advanced, there is generally no need for treatment, severe liver cirrhosis or ascites, failure, etc., it is best to have a liver transplant, so the patient's chance of survival is still quite large." Director Li patiently said to Summer, "From next Monday to Wednesday, you can make an appointment for a time." ”

When Shi Xia thanked Uncle Wang and Director Li, Xia didn't say a word, and quietly followed him with a file bag.

"Back to school?" Shi Xia drove away from the hospital.

"No, go to the Jinshuiting community, it's ......"

"I know that community, not far from the school, next to the vocational high school, right?"

"Yes."

"Your second brother lives in Jinshui Pavilion?"

"Hmm."

"After discussing with your second brother, give me a call, and I will help you make an appointment with Director Li."

Fragments of memories scrambled to stir up in Summer's mind.

The wine bottle at Xia Xi's door, the nervous expression when she found the medicine jar, when she mentioned marrying a wife to him, he didn't come out of the bathroom for a long time, and that choked answer......

He must have been crying at the time.

How should I speak when I see Xia Xi later?

Summer held her forehead in annoyance.

Shixia drove very steadily, and before he knew it, the car had stopped at the entrance of the community.

The sky is dark, and the neon lights on the plaques of the shops and hotels around the community are particularly dazzling.

Shi Xia asked her, "Shall you go up after having a meal?" ”

Summer declined: "No, I haven't figured out how to tell him yet?" ”

Shi Xia said: "If you can treat it early, you can treat it early, and you can't afford to delay your illness." ”

Summer nodded tiredly and said, "I know." ”

Shi Xia unbuckled her seat belt and comforted: "Whether it is manpower or financial resources, I will help you as much as possible, so you don't have to worry about anything, and tell your second brother not to worry either." ”

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

If Xia Xi is cured with the help of Senior Shi, it will be a life-saving grace, and the only one who can repay the favor is herself.

Summer knew in her heart that she would never hesitate to renew her brother's longevity, not to mention that she would promise her own longevity.

This could be fate!

When and which way to go, it is predestined.

Suddenly, the figure of Cheng Ze flashed in his mind, the tall and thin, blue-eyed half-breed with a pair of hooked souls, laughing so healing......

Summer sat quietly on the sofa and stroked the gold bracelet on her wrist, and the QZ❀XT swiped over and over again in front of her eyes like an LED scrolling screen.

Xia Xi came back earlier than expected, and before 7 o'clock, he opened the door with a cake box, and this time it was like a takeaway brother bringing her food.

Xia stepped forward to take the cake, but after thinking about it, she didn't remember whether it was Xia Xi's birthday today.

"I'm sorry brother, I forgot your birthday."

"Cut, it looks like you really forgot, no one has a birthday today." Xia Xi took off his work coat and hung it on the clothes hanging at the door.

"Then why did you buy the cake?"

"You can't eat cake if no one has a birthday?" Xia Xi went to the bathroom to wash his hands angrily, and when he came out, he saw Xia standing at the dining table obediently, like a nanny waiting for the master to come home for dinner.

"You've been waiting for me until now?" Xia Xi picked up the bowl and chopsticks and pulled them into his mouth.

"Well, I'm not hungry either." Ate a small bite of rice in the summer.

"Are you hungry at this point? The working meals in the restaurant are particularly delicious, right? How many bowls of rice did you eat in the afternoon? After Xia Xi swallowed a bowl of rice, he slammed the chopsticks on the table.

In the summer, I also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Brotherβ€”"

"Don't call me brother."

Xia Xi stood up angrily, wanted to say something but held back, went to the living room and went around and came back to sit down again.

"Say, what did the little girl in your bedroom buy to give you that craving?"

"It's not."

"A cell phone? Name bag? ”

"Nope."

"Then what are you doing part-time? What do you want to buy? ”

"Brother, I went to the hospital in the afternoon." Summer slowly raised her head.

"Doctor-" Xia Xi paused, and his anger was suppressed by his distress.

She is making money to cure her eyes!

Xia Xi picked up the dishes and chopsticks and two plates of stir-fried vegetables that had not moved, and brought the cake up.

"What did the doctor say?" Xia Xi cuts a piece of cake for Summer.

"Let you go......" Summer's lips trembled, unable to make a normal sound, and tears welled up when she tried to continue.

"Don't cry, there's a brother here, you need surgery, don't you? How much it will cost, I have. Xia Xi held Xia's hand and tried her best to comfort her, "We're not blind, we don't need to change our eyes, right?" ”

"Huh?" Summer pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears, and suddenly understood what Xia Xi was saying, "How do you know?" ”

"I'm not stupid, I've been living with you for almost two months, and it's strange if I didn't find out." Xia Xi held Xia's hand tightly again, "Tiantian, how to treat us listen to the doctor, you don't have to worry about money." ”

Summer held her brother's hand, his wrists were almost as thin as her own.

"In this world, the one I am most afraid of losing is you." Summer stroked the back of her brother's hand, "I can't lose you either." ”

"What about that scary? It's surgery, and it's definitely a minor operation. Xia Xi pretended to comfort her easily, but her heart was already nervous, and the girl's expression was as if she had been sentenced to death by a doctor, "Did the doctor say that her life would be in danger?" ”

"You'll have to go to find out." In the summer, use words to point Xia Xi.

After a long time, Xia Xi broke free of her hands from her palms and looked at her sister with a suspicious and tentative gaze.

She wouldn't know.

It's impossible to know.

There is both sadness in Summer's eyes that sees through everything, and a courage that will not back down.

"I see." Xia Xi sighed softly.

He knew that her eyes could not see color, and she knew that he had a serious liver disease.

"How can your eyes be healed? Need eyes? Brother gives it to you. Xia Xi's expression became more and more gloomy.

"Don't you know that a living person can't donate his eyes?" Summer gritted her teeth and asked fiercely.

"Yes, I'll give it to you." The corners of Xia Xi's mouth tugged at a cynical smile.

"You-" Summer suddenly got up and pulled the cake chop in front of her to the floor.

"Why are you still like to throw things when you get angry, just like when you were a child?" Xia Xi was still smiling, his face covered with indifference to life and death.

His attitude, his words, slammed down on Summer's heart like a falling meteorite.

Summer rubbed her heart and walked over the broken cake on the floor and went back to her room.

After a while, a terrible cry came from the small bedroom.

Crying is contagious.

Something that had been holding on to it was gradually shattered by her sister's cry, and Xia Xi's tears flowed down in strings.

Who wouldn't want to live if they could?

He staggered open his sister's door, leaned down, and hugged his sister, who was kneeling in front of the bed and crying.

"Don't cry, I pay attention to rest, take medicine on time, maybe I can last a few years."

"I don't want you to die, and I won't let you die, brother-"

"Fool."

When both of them were tired of crying, and the tear ducts were temporarily dry, Summer turned on the light, closed the curtains, and began to interrogate.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Alcoholic cirrhosis, the doctor asked me to change my liver."

"Liver change? How to change? ”

"Give me someone else's liver transplant."

"Then why don't you change it?"

Xia Xi smiled bitterly: "Where did you get the liver to change for me?" Where does the money come from? ”

Summer said firmly: "Mine for you, the liver is a regenerative organ, and it will grow after cutting." ”

Xia Xi shook his head in despair.

Summer grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously: "What? ”

Xia Xi said calmly: "You and I may not match, even if we match, I'm afraid it's too late, even if it's too late, I can't make up so much money." ”

Summer persuaded with tears in her eyes: "My mismatch, as well as my parents, and my cousin, we can find a way to ...... money"

Xia Xi shook his head mechanically.

Summer was in a hurry: "Why don't you give it a try?" ”

Xia Xi showed his brother's gentle side, reached out and touched the top of Xia's head, and said, "Tiantian, it's too late." ”

Summer took his hand in his arms and said, "If you don't go to the hospital for a check-up, how do you know that I don't match, and how do you know that it's too late?" ”

"Even if we match, letting you have that kind of surgery will undoubtedly damage your body, if you don't match......" Xia Xi withdrew his hand, put it on his knee, raised his head slightly, and looked at the snow-white ceiling gloomily, "Our family, who would cut off their liver for me?" Even if you have a liver, you will still die in the end, which is not something that ordinary families like us can afford, and there is no need to ruin everyone's life for me.

"Every day, my brother just wants to spend the rest of his time, I don't want to die in the hospital, I don't want to be full of tubes and incontinence...... Die without dignity like that......"
