An'an reluctantly nodded, "Right! Doctors are not gods, they also have patients that can't be cured! So if... I'm saying if! If the doctor couldn't save your mom, would you hate the doctor?"
Yu Bao's eyes were wide with fear, "Was it the doctor's intention to not save my mother?"
An An shook his head seriously and said, "It's not intentional, but your mother is too ill, the doctor may not be able to save her! If the King of Hell really wants to take someone away, no one can save them."
Yuan Bao and Jin Zi exchanged a glance. "Mom taught us that as long as it's not intentional, everything can be forgiven!" Yuan Bao's emotions sank slightly at this point, his voice small and low, like a mosquito, "What if... what if we can't save him... We'll forgive the doctor, Mom said it's all fate! You can't force it." It's hard to imagine such old-fashioned words coming from a child's mouth.
Yu Bao's mother had long since come to terms with life and death, apparently this was something she often said in the past, both children remembered it.
An'an's heart was filled with unspeakable sorrow, she turned her head and said "Jinzi, what about you?"
Jinzi apparently understood more than Yuanbao, "I want Mom to leave!", this little girl has already accepted the fact that their mother will leave them.
The two children both agreed, but An'an was originally supposed to be happy, yet she felt a heavy pressure in her heart that made it hard for her to breathe. She stood up and told the doctor, "You also heard, if...if the patient really can't be saved! These two children won't have any resentment!"
The doctor sighed and beckoned to the nurse beside him, "Take the patient into the ward."
An'an saw the doctor and relaxed a bit, she also let out a sigh of relief. She instructed Jinzi and Yuanbao, "You two accompany Mom to the ward!"
Yu Bao and Jin Zi exchanged a glance, the two of them bowed to An An, "Thank you, sister!", because sister had persuaded the doctor from inside, that's why he agreed to take in their mother.
An An waved her hand and forced a smile on her face, "Go quickly!"
After the two children left, Anan turned back to Lu Yan and beckoned him to follow her to the doctor's office. Once inside, she got straight to the point: "Doctor, we know this is a bit difficult for you, but these two children are really pitiful. Giving them a glimmer of hope is also good! Even if the patient still passes away in the end, at least when these two children grow up and remember, they'll be able to recall that they tried their best to save their mother, rather than just bringing her back home to wait for death."
These are two completely different concepts, the former brings goodness to the two children, they used to work hard, but just didn't win against heaven.
The latter indeed did not even make an effort and had already been sentenced to death, and could only accompany their mother at home waiting for death.
For these two children, even if it's the same result in the end, but different processes will change their lives.
The doctor also understood this truth, he hesitated, "I understand what you said, but the patient's illness is really too expensive. Even if we drag on for a few more days, it's just throwing money down the drain. In the end, the patient will still pass away, so how will these two children live? Are they going to rely on drinking northwest wind? Not eating, not drinking, and not attending school anymore."
The doctor's perspective is not wrong either, he considers the future of these two children. These two children are not visiting the hospital for the first time, so he also understands their family situation. Their mother is their only relative, if she were to pass away in the future, the two children would become orphans. If they had no money on them, it would be truly difficult to survive in Shanghai, and they could only go out and beg.
"Money is no problem, I'll cover all expenses for the patient's remaining days!"
"The doctor was shocked, 'This is no small sum! Are you really going to pay this much?'"
An nodded, "I don't need to deceive you."
"Don't know if you and these two kids are related?"
An An shook her head, "No! I just get along with these two kids!", she raised the arm wrapped in a bandage, "These two kids saved me once before." This counts as returning a favor.
The doctor gave a thumbs up, "High morality!", being able to do this without being related or acquainted, what is high morality if not this? This kind of temperament is truly not that of an ordinary person, he has been a doctor for his whole life and hasn't met many people like this.
Two little kids who were eavesdropping at the door looked at each other and quickly ran away.
After walking out the door and turning two corners, the two children stopped to catch their breath. Jinzi wiped the sweat from his hair and said seriously, "Yuanbao, not only did sister get mom hospitalized, but she also has to pay for mom's medical expenses."
Yu Bao nodded heavily with tears in her eyes, "Sister is a good person!"
"Jinzi, 'Sister is a good person, but they don't owe us anything. In the future, we must repay sister properly, do you understand?'"
"I know!", Yuanbao bit his lip, "We owe sister too much." A few years old child after his mother fell ill, got used to the coldness and warmth of human relationships, for the first time, a strange sister gave him warmth.
Lu Yan's hearing was top-notch, and when the two children were eavesdropping at the door, he noticed it. Compared to Anan's doing good deeds without leaving a name, he was more realistic and didn't drive the two children away, letting them listen from start to finish.
After seeing the two children run out, Lu Yan followed and ran out. He crouched in the corner of the wall and listened to the conversation between the two children. His eyes dimmed slightly, perhaps Anan was right, there weren't that many bad people in this world.
On the contrary, some are just poor families who are powerless against fate.
An An ran into Lu Yan when she came out of the office. Lu Yan asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Yan changed the subject, "I'm going to go use the restroom." As for what he overheard, he didn't plan on telling An An about it. He'd just let both sides think they were unaware of each other's secrets.
Maybe having solved the matter of Yuan Bao's mother, An An had a smile on her face, lifted up her wrist to take a look, and there was still plenty of time. "Let's go buy some things and send them over to Yuan Bao." As for those two kids' savings of fifty yuan, let them keep saving!
If it's scattered, the money will be gone in an instant.
And if this patient leaves, these two children might have to rely on the 50 yuan living expenses for who knows how long.
Lu Yan naturally had no objection, but he couldn't bear to see An An working hard. He raised an eyebrow, "Does your arm not hurt?"
An'an was taken aback for a moment, she shook her arm, "It hurts a bit! But once I get busy, I won't have time to think about it." This is the truth, when you're busy, your attention is focused elsewhere and you naturally won't notice whether your arm hurts or not.
Lu Yan's words reached his lips, but when he saw An An's smiling face as lovely as a flower, he couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal. He said softly, "Let's go! I'll go with you!"
