Mayor Wang stood in front of Xiaoxiao, speechless for a long time.
He looked at the nurse in front of him and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
At this moment, the ward door behind Xiaoxiao was suddenly opened, and Li Yang slowly walked out.
After seeing Li Yang, Mayor Wang quickly walked over.
"Li Yang, where is my dad?! My dad..."
"inside."
Upon hearing this, Mayor Wang was about to walk into the kitchen when Li Yang stopped him.
"Mayor Wang, let's go to the clinic to chat first, okay?"
"Ah...ok."
Seeing the seriousness in Li Yang's eyes, Mayor Wang nodded gently.
When he followed Li Yang to the consulting room, Li Yang sighed softly.
"Mayor Wang, the old man's condition is not very good. I just gave him a brief treatment, but... it still didn't work."
"Li Yang, what's going on with my dad? What disease does he have?"
"The old man didn't want me to say it originally, but I think it's time for you to know."
Li Yang suddenly raised his head, stared at Mayor Wang, and his voice became serious.
"The old man has lung cancer, which is in the advanced stage. When I last checked, I thought he still had a year."
"I didn't expect that the old man has been overworked these past few days, which made his condition worse."
"Right now, I conservatively estimate that it will only take less than a month."
Less than a month? !
Hearing how little of his father's voice was left, Mayor Wang's eyes flashed with surprise and sadness.
But after a brief moment of sadness, he suddenly stood up angrily.
"Li Yang! Since my dad only has so much time, why didn't you tell me?!"
"Mayor Wang, you didn't communicate with your father, didn't you?"
"Then you should tell me too! I'm so busy at work! How can I have time to come here! I don't have time either..."
"Do you have no time? Or do you not want to come back? You said you are a mayor after all, but have you ever cared about your father?"
As soon as these words came out, Mayor Wang was stunned on the spot.
He looked at Li Yang blankly, not knowing how to speak for a while.
Li Yang slowly stood up and looked into Mayor Wang's eyes with stern eyes.
"You said I won't tell you, okay, but have you ever sent living expenses to your family?"
"Have you ever been to the old man's house? Have you ever seen that house?"
"The old man works by himself every day and lives on one to two hundred yuan a month."
"How can you be such a son?! Huh?!"
Li Yang's questioning made Mayor Wang feel a little ashamed.
But he still defended himself bravely.
"I'm busy, and my dad is angry and ignores me. What can I do?!"
"The relationship between father and son is not going to go smoothly, but...father is still your father."
"Li Yang, I want to take my dad to the hospital in the town. I want to treat him, no matter how much it costs..."
"It won't cost money, because it can't be cured. You'd better spend more time with him."
After Li Yang finished speaking, he leaned on the chair.
The half hour he had just spent with the old man made him feel a little distressed.
After checking the old man's whole body, he found that the other party still had many hidden dangers.
What cold legs, mild Alzheimer's disease, can be said to be ridden with diseases.
Even so, Mr. Wang never spoke to his son.
If lung cancer had been discovered earlier, Mr. Wang probably wouldn't have been so uncomfortable.
There is probably room for salvation, but...
Mayor Wang looked at Li Yang. After a long time, he nodded and slowly exited the clinic.
He came to the old man's ward, sighed deeply, opened the door and walked in.
There was only one bed in the ward, and the man lying on that bed was the old man.
The old man was still pale, but now he had his eyes open and stared at the ceiling.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Mayor Wang couldn't help but sniff, and then slowly walked over.
The old man thought it was Li Yang who came in, so he smiled lightly without looking back.
"Li Yang, don't bother me. I know how I am and I don't need any treatment."
After Mayor Wang heard this, he slowly stopped and tried to make his voice sound normal.
"dad."
The sentence "Dad" made the old man on the bed obviously stunned for a moment.
He turned his head, and when he saw Mayor Wang, a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"You're back? How are you doing? Are you busy?"
Finally, the old man's concern completely broke Mayor Wang's guard, and he couldn't help but lie beside the old man's bed.
He lay on the bed and burst into tears.
The old man on the bed smiled softly and stroked Mayor Wang's head, his voice becoming gentle.
"Oh, you're so old and you're still crying. Stop crying. I'm fine."
"Dad! I'm sorry! I...I'm sorry!"
"Okay, no need to tell me you're sorry. Seeing you living so well is the best comfort to me. No need to cry."
"Dad~"
Mayor Wang directly broke through the defense and cried for more than ten minutes.
After Mayor Wang finished crying, he slowly turned his head and looked at his father.
"Dad, I... let's go to the town, okay? Either go to the county or the city! Let's cure you, okay?"
"Okay, don't waste money on me. I know how my body is, so there's no need for this."
"Dad, I..."
"You have become the mayor, so you must be very busy, right? Go back to work, I'll be fine."
"No, dad, let me stay with you for a few days, okay? I'm asking for leave."
"Actually, you don't need to, alas~"
Mr. Wang seemed to be refusing, but the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but rise were expressing his inner joy.
At the same time, Li Yang was sitting in the consulting room, his expression a little ugly.
Mayor Wang's words just now, coupled with his inability to save Mr. Wang, made him feel that his medical skills were obviously insufficient.
I thought that if I improved my medical skills during this period, I would be able to make a breakthrough.
Who knows, not only has there been no breakthrough in realm, but there has also been no progress in medical skills.
He sat in the consulting room, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
Until night, when he was studying purple flowers, a figure appeared at the door.
Li Yang raised his head and nodded slightly when he saw it was Mayor Wang.
"How is the old man doing?"
"It's okay, Li Yang, this morning..."
"It's okay. You are worried about the old man too, so don't take it to heart."
Mayor Wang nodded and sat across from Li Yang.
He took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"I don't smoke."
Mayor Wang took back the cigarette, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath.
After the smoke calmed him down, Mayor Wang sighed softly.
"Li Yang, I...want to resign and take care of my dad. During this time, I want to stay with him."
