Chapter 176: I'll Accompany You
Qiao Zhanbei understood that his grandfather had guessed something, and he also understood the meaning of his words.
He looked sideways and looked away, and then faced the old man, his eyes were full of mixed emotions, his eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, I will come back." ”
This time, life wants to let Ye Mian see people, and death wants her to see corpses.
Old Chief Qiao stepped forward, the grandfather and grandson hugged each other, and they didn't say anything more, and Qiao Zhanbei quickly got into the car.
As soon as he got into the car, the old chief turned his back and straightened his back, but quietly wiped his tears.
That day, when Ye Mian returned home, Qiao Zhanbei was already on the plane, and more than ten hours later, she received his WeChat video, and the person had landed safely.
Qiao Zhanbei went abroad this time, and the business trip was just a pretense, but in fact, he went to seek medical treatment.
He longs to live, for himself and for his loved ones.
Accompanied by Shi Yanshen, he went to a biological laboratory that is far ahead of the world's technology, and they took a sample of his spinal cord for testing.
A week later, they discovered a drug ingredient in Qiao Zhanbei's spinal cord, which penetrated into his spinal cord cells, locking them in and causing them to lose their vitality.
In the office, Qiao Zhanbei sat in a wheelchair, and in the chair next to him, Shi Yanshen sat with his legs folded, and they listened carefully to Dr. Smith's test report.
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, two men spoke at the same time.
Qiao Zhanbei: "Doctor, I want to know if this medicine is contagious?" ”
Shi Yanshen: "Smith, is there a cure?" ”
The two of them spoke fluent and authentic American English, and Qiao Zhanbei asked the question he was vaguely worried about before, worried that Ye Mian would be infected if he had a relationship with him.
Although she has always been alive and well.
Dr. Smith answered Qiao Zhanbei's question first, and he shook his head and said that this medicine is not contagious.
A stone in Qiao Zhanbei's heart fell, thinking about Shi Yanshen's question, his heart hung again.
Dr. Smith, who was dressed in a white coat, pushed the frame of his glasses and answered Shi Yanshen's question: "This kind of biological agent has never been heard of in our laboratory before, and it will take at least one or two years to develop a drug to overcome it." You see, these guys, have spread to Joe's thoracic vertebrae...... We've calculated that at their rate, in less than three months, they'll attack his brain. ”
That is, three months later, he will die of brain death.
He had only three months left to live.
Like five thunderbolts, Qiao Zhanbei froze in a wheelchair, and the parts of his body that were conscious could only feel a chill to the bone.
His right hand was clenched tightly, his knuckles were white as if they were about to break out of the thin flesh, and gradually, a desperate suffocation engulfed him.
"Smith, can you shorten the time to develop an antidote to three months? No matter what the cost, my friend is willing, please hurry. Shi Yanshen stood up and pleaded with Dr. Smith.
Dr. Smith shook his head, "This can't be done. ”
Shi Yanshen turned his back helplessly, and after a long pause to calm himself down, he pushed Qiao Zhanbei out of the office, "Zhanbei, don't be discouraged first, I'll ask my mentors if they can do medical interventions, such as cell transplantation." ”
Qiao Zhanbei leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, unable to speak.
At this time, his mobile phone vibrated loudly.
"I don't want you to be alone, alone in the sea of people, I don't want you to walk through the wind and rain alone......"
In the car, Ye Mian listened to the ringtone of Qiao Zhanbei's WeChat video, he was very surprised, and he felt funny, the cold President Qiao actually used a very old pop song to make a mobile phone ringtone.
It's too devastating.
He took the video.
It was the middle of the night on the domestic side, and the light in the carriage was very dim, and Ye Mian held his mobile phone to find an angle for a long time before he could barely see his face.
In the video, he has a white wall in the background, like he is in a hospital.
She videotaped him every day, and he said he was doing an electric shock therapy to stimulate the regeneration of his damaged spinal cord cells, and the results had not yet been seen.
"You're in the car? Just got off work? After Qiao Zhanbei saw her environment, he said with concern.
He tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and his expression was relaxed and natural.
"Yes, I just ate a small wonton with Xiaoxun for supper, and I will send him home in a while, and I will go back to the compound." Ye Mian said, facing the mobile phone screen to Jiang Xun in the passenger seat.
Jiang Xun hurriedly turned his face away and dodged the camera.
He is not only withdrawn but also socially afraid, and never dares to eat out alone, so he is willing to go only when Ye Mian takes him.
Qiao Zhanbei: "You guys go back early." ”
"Wait, I like the lyrics of your video ringtones, and I finally know that I am going to be with me through thick and thin." Ye Mian said with a smile.
Listening to her words, a bitterness spread in his chest, and the tip of Qiao Zhanbei's nose was sour.
She'd be mistaken.
Fool, to understand a sentence is to relate to the context.
After hanging up the video, Qiao Zhanbei asked Shi Yanshen for a cigarette and left the laboratory.
"Are you going to hide it from Ye Mian again?" Shi Yanshen walked up to him and asked seriously.
Listening to Shi Yanshen's words, remembering that Ye Mian had just said in the video that he was "in the same boat through thick and thin", Qiao Zhanbei took a hard puff of cigarette and suppressed the helplessness and pain in his chest.
He didn't listen to her again, and when she found out, she was going to be angry with him again.
For a long time, he looked at the blue sky in the distance and slowly opened his mouth: "If she knew it a day earlier, it would be one more day of sadness, so she would hide it first." ”
Qiao Zhanbei's condition is complicated, and medically, surgery can't save him.
With less than three months to live, he did not indulge in despair and began to arrange his afterlife.
A month later......
Qiao Zhanbei sat in a wheelchair, with a mobile phone holder on the table in front of him, and he asked the assistant to help him click on the video call.
After the assistant clicked on it, he immediately dodged to the side.
In the middle of the night, Ye Mian took a bath and just went to bed, when he heard the mobile phone ringing, he picked it up and took it.
He said that he had been on a business trip for ten days and half a month, and seeing that a month had passed and he had not returned, he said that the electroshock therapy over there should be done according to the course of treatment.
Qiao Zhanbei would video with her almost every night, and in the video, he seemed safe and sound, and he was in good spirits, Ye Mian didn't think much about it.
As soon as the video was connected, Ye Mian looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, I took a week's time, and I will fly over to accompany you the day after tomorrow and take Qiao Qiao with me, Nuan Nuan was picked up by Brother Mo Bai yesterday to Sucheng." ”
Hearing that she was coming to him, Qiao Zhanbei instinctively clenched his fists, but now, he was unconscious in both arms, and his back had to lean against something to barely sit down.
