Sister Xu had just finished washing Ran Ran's face, and when she saw Lin Yuxi, she felt embarrassed.
"I heard from Ran Ran that you gave her a cake last night? Dr. Lin, it cost you money again."
"It didn't cost a fortune," Lin Yuxi said. "My friend bought me a birthday cake. I couldn't finish it anyway, so I shared it with everyone."
"Is it your birthday?" Upon hearing this, Sister Xu hurriedly searched through the walls and cabinets to find something, hoping to give her something.
Lin Yuxi hurriedly stopped her: "No need."
"I want it." Sister Xu said, "Birthdays only happen once a year."
In the past two days, some relatives and friends came to give some things, but the milk, apples, etc. were not rare, so she felt that she couldn't get them.
Finally, I took out a mini drawstring bag that I made myself.
"I made this before to sell, and there is only one left. It's not a valuable thing, so don't dislike it."
This small bag is so mini that it is no bigger than the palm of your hand. There is an embroidered patch of a cat sewn on the front.
It was indeed not valuable, but it was more exquisite and cute, so Lin Yuxi accepted it: "It's so cute. I happen to like cats very much."
Seeing that she really liked it, Sister Xu smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Ran Ran took out a small bag of similar style from under the pillow and showed it to Lin Yuxi: "I have one too. Mine is a puppy."
When Lin Yuxi left, Sister Xu saw her out. After walking out of the ward, Lin Yuxi stopped.
"Sister Xu, can you have a few words?"
Sister Xu is now particularly sensitive to cornea matters. As soon as Lin Yuxi opened her mouth, she guessed it, and her expression showed obvious resistance.
"Dr. Lin, are you coming to persuade me to sign?"
Lin Yuxi pulled her chair in the corridor to sit down, organized her words, and spoke.
"My parents died when I was six years old."
"Three of our family were kidnapped and locked up in an abandoned factory warehouse. It was dark and dirty inside. There were rustling sounds at night, and rats crawled around. One time they even climbed on me. We were held there for many days, waiting for someone to come rescue us, but there was no one."
Sister Xu had only seen kidnapping on TV, and her eyes widened in shock: "Who are they? Do they want money?"
Lin Yuxi shook her head: "I don't know who they are. They don't want money. They want my father to do something for them, but my father refuses."
She only knew that it was related to her father's position in Hengtai Bank, but at the age of six, she didn't understand those things at all.
"On the last day, my father seemed to have a premonition of something and told me many things in advance. When the two kidnappers came in, he and my mother pounced on them and pushed them to the ground. Their hands were tied and they couldn't fight with them. , he hit that person with his head as hard as he could."
"My mother used to be a university professor. She was very beautiful, intellectual and elegant. My father said that he fell in love with my mother at first sight and pursued her for a long time before she caught her."
"She was very thin and had never done anything with anyone before. She was caught easily by the other party. The man pulled her hair and beat her. She bit the other person's hand and tried her best to hold him back and let me take advantage of it. run out."
Lin Yuxi curled her fingers, clenched her palms, calmed down the sobs that rose up in her throat, and continued.
"My dad told me to keep running east, toward the rising sun. He said don't trust anyone you meet on the road, run to a crowded place, and then go find the police."
"I was scared. I wanted to go back to find them, but they told me not to look back. I didn't dare to look back, so I could only run forward as hard as I could."
Lin Yuxi had no idea how they held the kidnapper back. She just kept running forward, with only the sound of wind and her fierce breathing on the road.
But the factory was so big and the sun was so far away that it seemed like we could never get out.
She heard someone chasing her from a distance. She ran under the sewage treatment outlet in fear and crawled into a narrow pipe that only children could pass through.
The abandoned equipment has been shut down for a long time, and the sludge has accumulated and dried inside, emitting an indescribable stench.
She hid inside for a long, long time. Several times, she seemed to hear footsteps passing by outside. She hid until dark, and there was no sound around her.
She climbed out of the pipe. The dark factory was like a maze. She walked in it alone. She was very scared and missed her parents.
After walking for a long time with limited memory, I found the original warehouse.
The kidnappers were gone and she saw her parents lying quietly on the ground.
The moon in the sky was pale and weak, illuminating their miserable and lifeless faces, covered in blood.
Lin Yuxi only told the police and her aunt what happened that day. She hadn't mentioned it to anyone for a long time, and hadn't thought about it for a long time.
For a long time, the invisible factory and the lingering putrid smell appeared repeatedly in her nightmares.
Sister Xu's initial shock gradually turned into distress: "I didn't know you had such a life experience..."
"Sister Xu, I don't have children, so I may not be able to truly understand your mood." Lin Yuxi said, "But I know that if it were my mother, she would understand you, because she loves me as much as you love Ran Ran."
Sister Xu's eyes were red and she raised the back of her hand to rub it. Lin Yuxi took a tissue from her pocket and gave it to her.
"You really need to get rid of the habit of rubbing your eyes with your hands, especially in your current situation. You should pay more attention to eye hygiene."
Sister Xu wiped her tears, and Lin Yuxi paused for a while before adding, "Yesterday Ranran asked me if I would use my eyes to save my mother."
"If I have the chance," she said, "I'll pay any price, not just my eyes."
"Ran Ran thinks so too."
This sentence finally made Sister Xu burst into tears uncontrollably. She restrained herself with all her strength, not daring to cry too loud for fear of being heard by her children.
But Ran Ran still came out of the ward, wiping the tears on her mother's face with her little hands. While wiping, her own tears began to fall.
Sister Xu hugged her, and the mother and daughter who depended on each other cried together.
The cry was subdued, sad and moving.
Lin Yuxi turned her head, took a deep breath, breathed it out, and forced back her tears.
She left the tissue with Sister Xu, patted her shoulder gently, and stood up to leave.
"Thank you, Dr. Lin." Sister Xu said with a tearful voice.
"Why are you thanking me?" Lin Yuxi said, "I didn't help you with anything."
Every time she saw them, she felt a little ashamed because there was so much she could do.
Coming out of the ward, Lin Yuxi found Ran Ran's attending doctor.
Dr. Yan is the most authoritative expert in treating goddess cancer in his hospital. When he mentions Ran Ran, he shakes his head and sighs: "In her condition, she deserves to live one more day."
As a doctor, I can better understand the horror of illness. Nowadays, medical technology is very advanced, but if the King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, the doctor will try his best to keep you alive until the fifth watch at most.
"You'd better advise her mother. It's not that we need to remove the child's cornea now. But if there is an emergency, her eyes can be cured by then and the child can continue to see the world."
She had already persuaded her, but seeing the mother and daughter holding each other's hands and crying, Lin Yuxi felt sour in her heart.
She came here for something else.
"Dr. Yan, I will be responsible for the cost of Ran Ran's subsequent treatment. If there is any other way to treat her, it doesn't matter how much it costs."
It was a busy time in the morning, and Dr. Yan stopped moving his hands when he heard this.
"Xiao Lin, you haven't just started working, why are you still so soft-hearted?"
As a senior, he advised: "I know you are kind-hearted, but in our profession, we must not only maintain compassion for patients, but also learn to be a little less optimistic sometimes. You said there are so many patients every day, who is not pitiful?" ? Everyone has their own difficulties, can you help?"
"If anyone has to take care of themselves and save all sentient beings, that's not a doctor, that's a Bodhisattva!"
"I've thought about it. Just this once."
There is very little she can do to help. At least she is still rich now, so she can help a little.
Lin Yuxi said: "I don't want to go through the channels of external foundations. The procedures are too troublesome, and they may have to ask the media to take pictures. Sister Xu and the others don't want anyone to disturb them now. Is there any way to donate through our hospital?"
Doctor Yan saw that she had made up her mind and sighed: "Let me ask for you."
"Sorry to trouble you." Lin Yuxi finally warned, "Don't let Sister Xu and the others know about this matter."
After returning home, Lin Yuxi took a shower and caught up on her sleep. It was already afternoon when she was woken up by the phone call.
Grandma called.
Lin Yuxi picked up the phone, and the old lady called out: "Has my dear grandson woke up?"
"Just woke up." Lin Yuxi yawned.
The old lady laughed: "If you go back to sleep, you can sleep until tomorrow morning, just like a child. I asked Lao Zhang to pick you up. They are all downstairs now. Get up quickly, wash your face, and come home for dinner. Eat Continue to sleep at night when you are full.”
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she could escape the New Year's Eve but not the first day of the Lunar New Year.
