Xingfushu Private Hospital is not very far from Liujiang River, about two hours' drive away, and Lin Chengyu rushed there immediately after leaving Song He's house.
He didn't just wait in the car, mainly because it was the first time he heard about this private hospital, and it was not well-known outside, so after much deliberation, he was still uneasy. After asking people, the feedback was pretty good, and even the doctors he found abroad knew about this place.
Happiness Tree was originally a sanatorium built by the top wealthy circles in the country. Later, the number of people increased, and it gradually expanded into a profitable private hospital, which belongs to the professional level piled up with money.
Jiang Xiao's friends still have some skills, and they worked very hard to find him here.
Hope seems to be growing.
He couldn't wait to see Jiang Xiao.
The other party also told him that if Jiang Xiao got treatment at the Happy Tree, that would be good news. That place is not the best, but it is definitely the top.
And the follow-up succession is also very good. If it goes well, it is very possible for the patient to live a few more years. The doctor Lin Chengyu hired from abroad will arrive immediately, and he also comes to Happy Tree as soon as he gets off the plane.
All was going well until he met Dr. Yoo with such happy hopes.
She is in her fifties and is also an expert in leukemia.
After Lin Chengyu rushed all the way to his office, the steady 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 files later," Lin Chengyu came running after getting out of the car, panting heavily, but his eyes lit up when he thought of seeing Jiang Xiao in a while, "I want to meet Xiaoxiao first, he How about now?"
Doctor Liu was stunned for a moment.
She didn't know who this was Jiang Xiao's, 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 she knows that it is useless to be euphemistic at this time, it is better to speak directly.
Lin Chengyu froze there for an instant.
He seemed to have lost his ability to analyze language at that moment.
What does "pass away" mean? Isn't Jiang Xiao here, treating his illness properly
In Dr. Liu's eyes, this person was very quiet after hearing these words. It turned out that he was still panting because he ran over, but there was no movement all of a sudden.
As if he was the one who died suddenly.
"...Which ward is Xiaoxiao in?" Lin Chengyu froze for a while, then asked again, "Does he not want to see me?"
Doctor Liu didn't answer for a moment.
"It doesn't matter if he refuses to see me. But, but I found a doctor for Xiaoxiao, and the doctor will come right away. Next, next, I need to check up, and I have to... treat the illness well." Lin Chengyu mentioned Jiang Jiang these days. Xiao couldn't help crying, but he didn't cry now, he was incoherent, "The doctor told me about the treatment plan, and there are successful cases... He said that leukemia is not a terminal disease. Before, some people lived for three to five years before, and if they persisted Go on, maybe there will be a new method in the future, and it can be cured.
Xiaoxiao can be saved, Xiaoxiao will come back, I don't care if I see him or not, but the doctor, the doctor must see him. "
Dr. Liu sighed when he heard this place.
"Indeed, if Jiang Xiao chooses a positive treatment plan, Happy Tree 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 for terminal illnesses is affected by the patient's mentality, environment, medical level, etc. The half-year time limit given by the local people's hospital is just a reference average, and the treatment conditions that Jiang Xiao can enjoy are 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 very painful treatment processes. Jiang Xiao didn't want to do 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 care. This is also beneficial, the patient's pain before death is greatly reduced, and the death is also very decent.
Dr. Liu handed over Jiang Xiao's hospital record, 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 just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to reach out.
What I said before was to state the facts from a doctor's professional point of view, but for Jiang Xiao, Dr. Liu had seen so many patients and was still impressed by him, and Lin Chengyu was like this, so she still couldn't help but say a few more words.
"He is a very good person," she said. "He has a good temper and doesn't complain about others. The nurses who take care of him like him very much. He loves to laugh, and he can't be seen as a patient."
It is not obvious that this person actually has no desire to survive.
I don't know why I don't want to persevere because I am young, but if there is a heaven, people like Jiang Xiao should go to heaven.
"He lived here alone for a month, and he didn't let anyone visit him. I asked him why, and he said that parting before death was an uncomfortable thing. He must have been very ugly at that time, which made people feel sad," Dr. Liu said. Then he said, "He came quietly and left quietly. He hoped that those who cared about him would not suffer too much after he left. Mr. Lin, you should also be his friend. The dead are gone, and the living still have to live live."
Dr. Liu once saw Jiang Xiao write every word carefully while he still had the strength. After his death, these handwritten letters were handed over by the hospital to the friends he wanted to give. This is also a kind of farewell.
But the letter was not finished yet, some of the addresses were unclear, and some of them lost the strength to write, and the handwriting was distorted. After he threw it away, he was secretly picked up by the nurse who took care of him, and finally took it to Dr. Liu.
But what was embarrassing was that after Dr. Liu took out those letters, he found that none of them were for the other party.
She thought there was an envelope, but when she looked carefully at this time, the word on the cover of the envelope was not "Lin", but "Wen". It was for someone else, and unfortunately, it was not finished.
Jiang Xiao lost his strength later, his strokes were very crooked, and there were many typos, crossed out and distorted, Dr. Liu mistook it, no wonder he wanted to throw it away.
Since it wasn't for him, Dr. Liu turned around and put the letter away.
This person looked much sadder than Jiang Xiao's friends, but he came so late, Jiang Xiao had nothing to leave for him.
"...Jiang Xiao has too many friends," Dr. Liu found an explanation, "He didn't have time to finish many things."
The unfinished TV series on TV, the unfinished books lying there, Jiang Xiao can also knit woolen rabbits, knit five on a whim, and the sixth one is half done.
These were all taken away by his friends as early as last month, and none was left for 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 saying this, he also felt that he was not worthy.
Doctor Liu was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say. She doesn't comment on other people's love lives, but this is outrageous.
The only thing she could do was take him to Jiang Xiao's ward, and even that didn't make much sense.
"A new patient is going to move in tomorrow, so I'll let you see it today. If you are not a relative, you won't be allowed to come in," she said, "Actually, there is nothing left, everything has been cleaned."
Her speech and demeanor were much colder than before.
Jiang Xiao died on the 13th of last month, a month has passed.
Lin Chengyu was very quiet, and just followed her, like a puppet whose soul had been taken out.
When he walked to the door of Jiang Xiao's ward, he hesitated a little, but couldn't help but look. It was a very clean room, and most of the decorations inside were white, a vast expanse of whiteness.
Indeed, there was 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 either.
This place melted his Jiang Xiao, and also melted Lin Chengyu who stepped into it.
If 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 hit him is not something Lin Chengyu can bear.
He was overjoyed and saddened today, but 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 is no way, what else is there to cure when a person is dead.
But the doctor was found by Lin Chengyu, and he still had to say hello before leaving. The friend brought someone over, carefully worded his words, stammered for a long time, and told him that the doctor was leaving.
"Let's go," Lin Chengyu said without turning his head, "Go out and don't disturb Xiaoxiao."
At this time, he was sitting on the carpet in front of the hospital bed, looking at the empty bed with gentle eyes.
Dr. Liu still has other things to do. Before seeing him staying here quietly, he went out. People need time and space to calm down after going through this kind of thing.
The friend sighed, and was afraid of irritating him, so he withdrew first.
Tell him to stay here, sooner or later he will accept the reality.
But the translucent Jiang Xiao felt that it was not calm.
The ward can only be empty for one day.
In the evening, a nurse came in. There will be a new patient tomorrow, and there will be final tidying and cleaning here. She was startled when she opened the door.
Then I remembered that Dr. Liu said hello.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Chengyu 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 it is a bit difficult to make the bed.
"Sir," the nurse reminded him, "please step aside."
Lin Chengyu ignored her, she reminded her a few times, and the voice was a little louder before the other party responded.
"Don't disturb Xiaoxiao, he is sleeping." He said, "Get out."
The nurse froze for a moment, not knowing what he was talking about, so she could only go to the other side, and lifted 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 suddenly, "He's here... where did you get him?"
The nurse was so confused by him that he didn't dare to stay here, so he turned around and ran to the doctor. Dr. Liu didn't expect this person to wake up at this point.
She thought about it, rubbed the center of her eyebrows, called the psychiatry department, 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 stared 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 used to talk to him, but he ignored people. When the security guard went up to pull people, he made some noises. Lin Chengyu was unwilling to leave, but his friend came over when he heard the noises.
Lin Chengyu still has a company in his body. No matter whether it involves interests or friendship, the people he knew before can't leave him alone at this time. He even arranged for two people to follow him specially, fearing that he would do something.
"Sorry, we will reserve this ward," they came out to smooth things over at this time, "Please let Mr. Lin live here."
It's not difficult for Lin Chengyu's wealth to find a relationship with the hospital.
Doctor Liu stopped talking.
She stared at the man for a moment, then turned away.
The patients in Happy Tree are either rich or expensive. The doctors here have developed professional habits, and they don't give more advice to the patients' private affairs, and never intervene.
But Jiang Xiao is different.
Dr. Liu thought that this was the most special patient she had seen in her many years of practice.
Anyone who saw Jiang Xiao at the end of his life would remember him deeply and feel sorry for him.
When Mrs. Song called in the morning, she only said his surname was Lin, and didn't say much about the rest, so she got the letter wrong.
Later, Mr. Lin said that he was Jiang Xiao's lover. After much deliberation, she still had something in her heart that she couldn't let go of.
She didn't know whether she should find out for professional habits, but she was still working here and would pass by that ward almost every day.
The door of the ward was still open most of the time, 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 just rescued.
He was indeed very unconscious, and it was a mistake to be admitted to the hospital. His mental state was at the level where he needed to see a doctor.
But fortunately, Lin Chengyu didn't commit suicide every day, it was just an impulsive moment during this period. Apart from the doctor's intervention, 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 was the place Dr. Liu was looking for, but she didn't mention it and kept silent.
