Zhang Fan left the courtyard home of Wang Baochun and his son, walked through the dark alley, and walked along the wet and muddy dirt road. After a while, he arrived at the road outside.
A cold and cold wind was blowing on the road, coming from a distance in a hurry, and then passed by in a hurry, disappearing in an instant. Zhang Fan took a few steps forward, and the next second, he suddenly covered his chest with his right hand.
Severe pain came from his heart, and then a large mouthful of dark blood spat out with a loud sound.
The dizzying feeling of dizziness appeared in his mind, making Zhang Fan feel weak in his limbs, his whole body went limp, and he wanted to kneel down.
This is a terrible injury that has flared up again. Zhang Fan's face was pale, and dense beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead because of the pain in his body.
After a long time, the severe and unbearable pain gradually subsided, and Zhang Fan slowly stood up again. Time is running out and death is getting closer.
But no matter how bad his physical condition was, he must persevere. Persist in completing all unfinished wishes.
Zhang Fan wiped the dark blood from the corner of his mouth before summoning Jin Cuihua and asking her to use the [next door window] ability to send him to the First Construction Hospital of the Invalid Army in Dujiang City.
Looking at the entire Dujiang City, this hospital is not very big. I think it is still very small.
Perhaps because of Wang Baochun's current situation, they couldn't spend much money to arrange for Chu Chu's mother to go to a good hospital, so they went to this smaller hospital.
Fourteen minutes later. Zhang Fan came to the First Construction Hospital of the Invalid Army. He followed the address Wang Baochun said and went straight to the fourth floor of the inpatient department.
The hospital is open 24 hours a day. At this time, the fourth floor of the inpatient department was eerily quiet, and the surroundings were completely silent.
Except for the lights in the corridors, almost all the wards inside had their lights turned off and were in a state of rest.
The fourth floor of the entire inpatient department is not very high, only nine floors high. It is incomparable to other large hospitals that often have more than ten or twenty floors.
Zhang Fan took the elevator and quickly reached the third floor. Chu Chu's mother is currently hospitalized in Ward 306 on the third floor.
Outside every ward on the third floor, there were some family members of the patients lying. Some of them were either lying on the benches outside and sleeping soundly, while others were sitting directly on the cold ground. Rest against a wall.
Zhang Fan did not disturb their rest, but slowed down his pace as much as possible, lowered his voice, and walked towards Ward 306.
A minute later, Zhang Fan arrived at the door of Ward No. 306. He wanted to walk directly in, but suddenly he saw a middle-aged man with black and white hair, a face full of vicissitudes of life, and a messy and greasy hairstyle, sitting slumped. In front of the door, covering his face and crying.
He covered his face with both hands, not daring to make the slightest sound. But despite this, there were still a few low and choked sobs coming from between the fingers.
On the ground to his left, there was a cold and pale critical illness notice. Hearing the sound of someone approaching, the man slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Fan.
The moment he saw Zhang Fan, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a hint of panic. He hurriedly wiped away his tears, and then quickly stuffed the critical illness notice on the ground into his pocket, almost as if by reflex.
"Are you... looking for someone? Yes... I'm sorry, I'm going to rest somewhere else right away!" The middle-aged man supported the wall with his left hand, stood up hurriedly, and moved towards the empty seat next to him. .
Seeing the other party's lonely appearance, Zhang Fan was speechless and just sighed before walking into Ward No. 306.
But the next second, his brows suddenly frowned, as if he thought of something, and he quickly looked at the man again and asked: "Excuse me...Uncle, are you Luo Chuchu's father?"
"You...are you?" Upon hearing the three words Luo Chuchu, the middle-aged man's body suddenly froze, his face showed horror, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"I'm her friend!" Zhang Fan said truthfully with a smile on his pale face.
"Are you her friend?" The middle-aged man looked incredulous, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
"No, you are... that Zhang Fan?!" The middle-aged man thought for a while, then a name suddenly appeared in his mind, and he called out tentatively.
"Yes, it's me!" Zhang Fan admitted openly without hiding anything.
"You..." The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Fan, as if he wanted to remember his appearance deeply in his mind.
While looking at Zhang Fan, his fists could not help but clenched, making a creaking sound as bones rubbed against each other.
This alone is enough to show how angry the middle-aged man is at this time. But... ten seconds later, his fists suddenly relaxed again, his eyes retracted, and he slowly lowered his head, as if he had made some decision in his heart.
"I can't blame you for this. It's all our retribution." There was sarcasm in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he suddenly laughed miserably.
"How is Chu Chu doing lately?" The middle-aged man's eyes were red and swollen, with extremely dark circles. He looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time and was seriously sleep deprived.
"She's fine!" Zhang Fan didn't tell the truth, not wanting to offend the middle-aged man.
"I am Chu Chu's father, and my name is Luo Zhigang. I didn't expect that our first meeting would be in this form. What a trick of fate!" Chu Chu's father laughed at himself.
"Uncle, don't say that." Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel inexplicable desolation in his heart when he saw Luo Zhigang was haggard and exhausted.
Sure enough, it was fate. Luo Zhigang was once a big shot in an upper-class family, but he didn't expect to end up in such a predicament. It is really embarrassing.
"I used to be in a high position and regarded wealth and money as extremely important, thus neglecting my care for Chu Chu. Now that I have nothing, I finally understand something." Luo Zhigang took out a bag from his pocket. He put a cigarette into his mouth, lit it silently, and then handed another one to Zhang Fan.
"Uncle, I don't know how to smoke!" Zhang Fan refused. Hearing the sound, Luo Zhigang had no choice but to take back his cigarette and took a deep look at Zhang Fan.
"Chu Chu is a child with a very simple heart. She has not been good at dealing with people since she was a child. I only hope that you can treat her well in the future. If you let me know that you have let her down, I will never let you go. Even if I have nothing now, but I can... choose to fight you desperately, I will risk everything..." Luo Zhigang's red and swollen eyes revealed a hint of cold and piercing murderous intent, as if Zhang Fan would dare to let Chu Chu down in the future. , he will try his best to kill Zhang Fan.
"Uncle, actually...I came here today because I have something I want to discuss with you." Zhang Fan sighed, his eyes dimmed a lot, and he said bitterly.
"What do you want to say?" Luo Zhigang took a deep breath from the cigarette and asked in confusion.
"Actually, I have cancer...I can't live more than two weeks." Zhang Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His smile was mixed with complexity and helplessness.
"What did you say?!" After hearing what Zhang Fan said, Luo Zhigang's eyes widened instantly, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
"What's going on with you?" Luo Zhigang couldn't believe that what Zhang Fan said was true.
"I have a physical problem. I went to the hospital to check it out a while ago. It's hopeless!"
"I came here this time to tell you that after I die, take Chu Chu home!"
"Uncle, don't worry. I have never touched Chu Chu. Well, to be precise, we have never lived together. You take her back and find a good home for her to live in from now on."
"She doesn't need me in the world and deserves a better future." Zhang Fan took a deep breath, covered his heart with his right hand, and said tremblingly.
Pain, boundless pain, spread again, torturing Zhang Fan until he was sweating profusely and in agony.
