Chapter 159:
Xingfushu Private Hospital is not very far from Liujiang, about two hours' drive, Lin Chengyu rushed out immediately after leaving Song He's house.
He didn't have time to wait in the car, mainly because it was the first time he heard about this private hospital, which was not well-known outside. After thinking about it, he was still apprehensive. After asking people, the feedback was pretty good, even the doctors he found abroad knew about the place.
Happiness Tree was originally a sanatorium built by the top rich circle in China. Later, there were more people, and it gradually expanded into a profitable private hospital. It belongs to the professional level piled up with money.
Jiang Xiao's friends are still somewhat capable, and they are very attentive to find him here.
Hope seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
He can't wait to see Jiang Xiao.
The other party also told him that if Jiang Xiao was treated at the Happiness Tree, it would be really good news. Not only that place is the best, but it is also the pinnacle of certainty.
And the follow-up is also very successful. If it goes well, it is very possible for the patient to live for a few more years. The doctor Lin Chengyu invited from abroad will arrive immediately, and he will also come to the Happy Tree immediately after getting off the plane.
Everything was going well until he met Dr. Liu with such delightful hope.
She is in her fifties and is also an expert in leukemia.
After Lin Chengyu rushed all the way to his office, the prudent old doctor was also taken aback by him.
"Mr. Lin? Mrs. Song called me." She calmed down and said, "Jiang Xiao's files are all with me, you..."
"I'll look at the file later," Lin Chengyu ran over after getting out of the car, he was panting, but his eyes were bright when he thought that he would see Jiang Xiao in a while, "I want to see you first, he How is it now?"
Dr. Liu was stunned for a moment.
She didn't know who this was from Jiang Xiao, how could she ask such a question.
"... Didn't Mrs. Song tell you?" Dr. Liu looked at him, "Jiang Xiao passed away on the 13th of last month."
She has experienced a lot and knows that it is useless to be euphemistic at such a time, and it is better to say it directly.
Lin Chengyu froze there for a moment.
He seems to have lost his language analysis ability at that moment.
What does "death" mean? Isn't Jiang Xiao here, taking good care of his illness?
In Dr. Liu's eyes, this person was very quiet after hearing these words. It turned out to be because he ran over and was still panting, but suddenly there was no movement.
As if he was the one who died suddenly.
"...Which ward is Xiao Xiao in?" Lin Chengyu froze for a while, and then asked again, "Does he not want to see me?"
Dr. Liu did not answer for a while.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to see me. But, but I found a doctor for Xiaoxiao, and the doctor will come right away. Next, I have to check and... treat the disease well." Lin Chengyu mentioned it these days. Jiang Xiao couldn't help shedding tears, but he didn't cry now, he was just incoherent, "The doctor told me about the treatment plan, and the successful cases... He said that leukemia is not a terminal disease, and some people lived for three or five years before, before. If you stick to it, maybe there will be a new method in the future, and it will be cured.
Xiaoxiao is saved, Xiaoxiao will come back, I can see him or not, but he must see the doctor, the doctor. "
Dr. Liu sighed when he heard this place.
"Indeed, if Jiang Xiao chooses an active treatment plan, Xingfushu can use the best medicine and the best machine, and I can at least guarantee that he will live until the end of this year," Dr. Liu said, "The so-called three to five years, It's not entirely impossible."
Jiang Xiao is only in his thirties, and his physical condition is still good. The degree of treatment of terminal illness is affected by the patient's mentality, environment and medical level, etc. The half-year time limit given by the local people's hospital is only a reference average, and the treatment conditions that Jiang Xiao can enjoy is definitely more than this number.
"But after he came to the hospital, he just wanted conservative treatment," Dr. Liu said. "Chemotherapy can help him survive, but chemotherapy and follow-up surgery are both painful treatments. Jiang Xiao doesn't want this, so..."
That is the patient's own choice, and neither the hospital nor the attending doctor can interfere with him.
Even that is not conservative treatment, it is hospice. This also has the advantage that the pain before the patient's death is greatly reduced, and the death is also honorable.
Dr. Liu handed over Jiang Xiao's record in the hospital, which was a copy. After Mrs. Song called, she was ready.
"You can take a look, this one can also be taken away," she said. "My condolences."
Lin Chengyu didn't answer, he stood there blankly, not knowing how to reach out.
The previous words were all from the doctor's professional point of view to state the facts, but for Jiang Xiao, Dr. Liu had seen so many patients and was still impressed by him. With Lin Chengyu like this, she couldn't help but say a few more words.
"He's a very good person," she said. "He has a good temperament, and he doesn't complain about others. The nurses who take care of him like him very much. He likes to laugh so much that he can't tell that he is a patient."
It is not obvious that this person has no desire to live in his heart.
I don't know why I don't want to persevere at a young age, but if there is really a heaven, people like Jiang Xiao should go to heaven.
"He lived here alone for a month, and he didn't let anyone come to visit. I asked him why. He said that it was a difficult thing to separate before his death. He must have been very ugly at the time, which made people feel sad," Dr. Liu said. Then he said, "Just come quietly and leave quietly. He hopes that the people who care about him after leaving will not suffer too much, Mr. Lin, you should also be his friend. The deceased has passed away, and the living still have to survive."
Dr. Liu once saw Jiang Xiao, while he still had the strength, write word by word and very seriously. After his death, these handwritten letters were handed over from the hospital to the friends he wanted to give, which was also a farewell.
However, the letter was not finished, and the address was not clear, and there was no strength to write it later, and the handwriting was distorted. After he lost it, he was secretly picked up by the nurse who took care of him, and finally kept with Dr. Liu.
But embarrassingly, after Dr. Liu took out the letters, he found that none of them were for the other party.
She thought there was an envelope, but when she took a closer look at this time, the word on the cover of the envelope was not "Lin", but "Smell". It was for someone else, and it was a pity that it was not finished.
Jiang Xiao ran out of strength later, his strokes were very crooked, and there were many typos. The strokes were crossed and the characters were distorted. Dr. Liu admitted that he was wrong. No wonder he wanted to throw them away.
Since it wasn't for him, Dr. Liu turned around and put the letter away.
This person looks much sadder than Jiang Xiao's friends, but he came so late, Jiang Xiao didn't even have anything for him.
"...Jiang Xiao has too many friends," Dr. Liu looked for an explanation, "he didn't have time to finish a lot of things."
For the unfinished TV dramas on TV, and the unfinished books placed there, Jiang Xiao can also knit woolen rabbits. He knitted five on a whim, and halfway through the sixth.
All these were taken away by his friends as early as last month, and not a single point was left to Lin Chengyu.
After a while, Lin Chengyu moved and took the case book that Dr. Liu handed him.
He didn't dare to open it.
"I'm not Jiang Xiao's friend," he said. "I'm... his lover. We've been together for fifteen years."
After he said this, he felt unworthy.
Dr. Liu was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say. She doesn't comment on other people's love lives, but this is so outrageous.
The only thing she could do was take him to see Jiang Xiao's ward, and even that didn't make much sense.
"A new patient is going to move in tomorrow, so I can let you see it today. In the future, it will not be allowed to enter if it is not a relative," she said. "In fact, there is nothing left, and it has been cleaned."
Her speech and demeanor were much colder than before.
Jiang Xiao died on the 13th of last month, it has been a month.
Lin Chengyu was very quiet, so he followed her, like a puppet whose soul had been removed.
When he walked to the door of Jiang Xiao's ward, he hesitated a little, and couldn't help but look. It was a very clean room, and most of the decorations in it were white.
There is indeed no trace of Jiang Xiao anymore. Just like when he left home, Jiang Xiao didn't take anything with him, and he didn't leave anything here.
This place melted his Jiang Xiao, and also completely melted Lin Chengyu who stepped into it.
If it is said that the pain of not being able to find Jiang Xiao some time ago can still be quantified and bearable, since knowing the news of Jiang Xiao's death, the pain that hits is not something that Lin Chengyu can bear.
Today was overjoyed and sad, and at that moment he began to completely collapse.
Two hours later, his friend arrived with experts from abroad, and heard the news as soon as he arrived.
There's no way, what else is there to do when a person dies.
However, the doctor was found by Lin Chengyu, so he still had to say hello before leaving. The friend brought someone over, carefully worded it, stammered for a long time, and told him that the doctor was leaving.
"Let's go," Lin Chengyu didn't look back, "Go out, don't disturb Xiaoxiao."
He was sitting on the carpet in front of the hospital bed at this time, his eyes looking at the empty bed, his eyes were very gentle.
Dr. Liu has other things to do. I saw him stay here quietly before going out. People who experience this kind of thing always need time and space to calm down.
The friend sighed, and was afraid to stimulate him, so he quit first.
Tell him to stay here, sooner or later he will have to accept the reality.
But the translucent Jiang Xiao felt that this was not calm.
The ward can only be empty for one day today.
In the evening, a nurse came in, and there was a new patient to live in tomorrow. The final arrangement and cleaning were to be done here. She was shocked when she opened the door.
Then I remembered that Dr. Liu had said hello.
Lin Chengyu heard the sound of the door opening, looked back vigilantly, and relaxed a little when he saw that it was the hospital uniform.
He turned his head, then reached out and patted the quilt lightly, as if coaxing someone to fall asleep.
The nurses try to be as gentle as possible when cleaning, but when it comes to making the bed, it is a bit difficult.
"Sir," the nurse reminded him, "please let me go."
Lin Chengyu ignored her, she reminded her a few times, and the other party only responded when her voice became louder.
"Don't disturb Xiaoxiao, he is sleeping." He said, "Go out."
The nurse was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what he was talking about. She could only go to the other side and lift the quilt on the bed to get a new one, but as soon as she moved, the fact that there was no one under the quilt was revealed.
This time it was Lin Chengyu who was frightened.
"Where's Xiaoxiao?" He stood up all of a sudden, "He's here... Where did you get him?"
The nurse was so embarrassed by him that he dared not stay here, so he turned and ran to the doctor. Dr. Liu didn't expect this person to wake up at this point.
She thought for a while, rubbed her brows, called the psychiatrist, called a psychiatrist on duty, and called two security guards at the same time.
When the group walked to the ward, Lin Chengyu had calmed down again. He changed his place, sat by the window, and looked out blankly.
Jiang Xiao used to like this too. The happiness tree is backed by the mountain, and the scenery outside is very good.
The psychiatrist talked to him in the past, and he ignored people. When the security guard went up to pull people, he made some noise. Lin Chengyu was reluctant to leave, but his friend came over when he heard the noise.
Lin Chengyu also has a company. No matter whether it involves interests or friendship, the people he knew before can't leave them alone at this time, and he even arranged for two people to follow him, fearing that he would do something.
"I'm sorry, we'll settle this ward," they came out to smooth things out at this time, "please let Mr. Lin live here."
It is not difficult for Lin Chengyu to find a relationship with the hospital.
Dr. Liu stopped talking.
She stared at the man for a moment, then turned to leave.
The patients of the Happiness Tree are either rich or expensive. The doctors here have developed professional habits, and they don’t give much guidance to the patients’ own personal affairs, and they never intervene.
But Jiang Xiao was different.
Dr. Liu thought, this is the most special patient she has seen in the years she has been a doctor.
Anyone who sees Jiang Xiao at the end of his life will deeply remember him and feel sorry for him.
When Mrs. Song called in the morning, she only said his surname Lin, and didn't say much about the rest, so she made a mistake in the letter.
Later, Mr. Lin said that he was Jiang Xiao's lover. After thinking about it, she still had something in her heart that she couldn't let go.
She didn't know if she should figure it out because of her professional habits, but she was still working here and passed by that ward almost every day.
The door of the ward was still open many times, and the people who followed Lin Chengyu did not dare to let him be alone for too long-because he committed suicide here some time ago, but he was only rescued.
He was indeed very unconscious. When he was admitted to the hospital, he was beaten upright. His mental state was to the extent that he needed to see a doctor.
But fortunately, Lin Chengyu didn't commit suicide every day, it was just an impulse during this time. In addition to the intervention of the doctor, the most important thing is that he still has something to do.
Song He refused to tell him where Jiang Xiao was buried, because he didn't deserve to know. That's what Dr. Liu was looking for, but she didn't mention it and kept silent.
