Chapter 24 "An Qingyu, do you still remember Liu Lang from your school?"
At this very moment, not far from Cangnan No. 2 Middle School, is the First People's Hospital of Cangnan City.
Liu Sisi gently pushed open the operating room door, her face still covered with beads of sweat from a long period of intense work.
Although she had been performing intense resuscitation for several hours and was already physically and mentally exhausted, she still forced herself to tell the patient's family members waiting outside, "The patient is out of danger."
"Thank you so much, Dr. Liu. If it weren't for you... I really wouldn't know what to do with my Zihan. You are truly a miracle doctor!" A middle-aged woman said excitedly, shaking Liu Sisi's hand.
While she was at work, she suddenly heard someone call saying that her son Zihan had been in a car accident, and she didn't believe it at the time.
But seeing the phone number, he had no choice but to believe it; it was his son Zihan's phone number.
When she arrived, Xie Zihan had just been wheeled into the emergency room, covered in blood and with multiple burns...
She almost thought her son was gone.
Thank God!
"This is what I should do..."
Liu Sisi's years of experience working in the emergency room taught her that now was not the time to chat idly with patients' families, otherwise they would waste all her rest time.
He then warned, "The patient needs to rest now, please keep quiet."
Although Liu Sisi's words were gentle, they conveyed an unquestionable authority.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded hurriedly, her eyes filled with gratitude and awe. She realized that she was losing control of her emotions and said while wiping away her tears, "Okay, Dr. Liu... I'm so sorry, I'm just too excited to know that my Zihan is still alive."
As the middle-aged woman spoke, she turned around and winked at the group of family members behind her. Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they still had concerns, they all understood that the doctors and patients should get some rest at this moment.
After all, the emergency room was almost full of beds, all occupied by people injured in the car accident.
Those transferred from the Second People's Hospital all had relatively mild symptoms, but that was only in comparison; the outside was still filled with crying and noise.
"Nurse--!"
"coming."
"When will it be my turn...?"
"Ah! It hurts!"
......
Liu Sisi walked through the crowd and returned to her office.
Sitting in the chair, her body seemed to have lost all its strength, and she leaned back in the chair.
Her desk was scattered with various medical records and reports, but she didn't have the energy to organize them at the moment.
She closed her eyes, replaying in her mind every detail of the surgery, every decision, and every life-or-death moment.
A few minutes later, Liu Sisi opened her eyes, picked up the water glass on the table, and found that the glass was empty.
She no longer had the energy to think about anything else.
She shook her head, got up and got a cup of hot water. The warmth emanating from the cup in her hands brought her a sense of comfort.
An Wenlin knocked on Liu Sisi's office door and asked, "Director Liu, do you have any water here? We've run out of water in our office. There are just too many patients... Many people are so tired that they don't even bother to get up and get water."
"I came here to see if you have any water left."
Upon hearing the knocking and An Wenlin's voice, Liu Sisi sighed softly, placed the hot water cup on the table, and got up to open the door.
She wore a slight smile, and despite her exhaustion, she didn't show it to anyone.
"Come in, Director An."
Liu Sisi opened the door and stepped aside to let An Wenlin in.
Looking at Liu Sisi's tired face, An Wenlin couldn't help but feel guilty. He knew that Liu Sisi had been working continuously for a long time, but the special circumstances of the hospital left everyone with no choice.
In addition, Liu Sisi is the director of the emergency department, so she would definitely be on the front line when such a thing happens.
"Director Liu, you look very tired too. I'll go get it myself," An Wenlin said somewhat embarrassed.
Liu Sisi shook her head and pointed to her water glass, "It's okay, I just filled a glass and haven't drunk it yet, you can drink this first."
How's the situation on your end?
An Wenlin took the water glass, took a sip, and then replied, "The situation on my end is relatively stable, but everyone is exhausted."
This car accident was extremely serious.
Liu Sisi smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
"By the way, how's Liu Lang doing?" Seeing that Liu Sisi didn't want to talk about this, An Wenlin steered the conversation towards his purpose this time, Liu Lang. "That kid, he's a good kid, it's just a pity... sigh~"
"An Wenlin, if you have something to say, just say it properly. Why say such things for no reason?" Liu Sisi saw that An Wenlin's words were disjointed and he was saying things that she would say to the families of those who were beyond saving.
"You're just too busy... You didn't even notice such obvious symptoms on Liu Lang's body." When An Wenlin first learned about the test results, he also thought of coming over to scold Liu Sisi.
But after thinking about it, Liu Lang realized that he didn't have many days left.
Instead of getting angry, let Liu Lang live out the rest of his life in peace.
"What's wrong with Liu Lang?" Liu Sisi asked, still not understanding An Wenlin's words. "Liu Lang is perfectly fine. I remember he was fine the night before last."
"Liu Lang only has less than three months to live, didn't you know?" An Wenlin looked incredulous. Liu Lang hadn't told Liu Sisi about this.
"What exactly happened that I don't know about?" Liu Sisi asked.
Seeing Liu Sisi like this, An Wenlin's expression also became somewhat solemn. "Liu Lang has cancer, and the cancer cells have already spread to the late stage... there is no point in treating him anymore."
Liu Sisi's face instantly drained of color, and her body swayed slightly. "What did you say?!"
"Didn't Liu Lang tell you?"
“No…” Liu Sisi shook her head, carefully recalling Liu Lang’s state the night before last.
He's perfectly fine, and he's even telling himself he doesn't want to go to school anymore and wants to join the army...
Can......
"Dr. Liu, I really have to have a word to say about this."
Whether as Liu Lang's attending physician or your colleague...
I feel I have to remind you, your son Liu Lang doesn't have much time left...
"I advise you to take leave and spend more time with him after this car accident is resolved," An Wenlin said with a hint of disappointment.
As a doctor, it's unbelievable that he didn't even know his own son's physical condition...
Liu Sisi's mind was in complete chaos... Her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.
"That's impossible, Director An, are you mistaken? Liu Lang is still perfectly healthy. He told me the day before yesterday that he wanted to enlist in the army..."
"How could he possibly..." Liu Sisi's voice trembled.
She stared intently at An Wenlin, trying to find a trace of a joke in his expression, but... An Wenlin's face remained serious.
So... is all of this true?
"Director Liu, I know this is a bit too sudden for you, but as you know, the hospital's examination is the best in the city, and the results are inaccurate."
An Wenlin's voice softened as he suddenly realized how much of a blow this news had been to Liu Sisi.
“Liu Lang’s condition is indeed very serious. At that time, I really wanted to show it to you as soon as possible... but Liu Lang said that he wanted to talk to you in person.”
Liu Sisi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
As a doctor, she needs to remain calm when facing illness and have a detached attitude towards birth, aging, sickness, and death...
But as a mother, she found it hard to accept this cruel reality...
"I need to see the test results." Liu Sisi's voice gradually became firmer. Now was not the time for her to break down; there was a group of patients waiting for her to treat outside.
And Liu Lang... him, eh~
An Wenlin nodded, went back to get Liu Lang's examination report and diagnosis, and handed them to Liu Sisi.
Furthermore, Liu Lang's medical records were displayed in front of Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi quickly scanned every piece of data on the report, and the medical terms that Liu Lang couldn't understand were now in Liu Sisi's eyes.
It was like a series of knives stabbing into her heart.
Liu Sisi gripped the diagnosis and examination report tightly, sitting there like a statue, motionless.
Immediately afterwards, two lines of tears finally flowed from her eyes.
She slumped over her office desk, burying her face in her shoulder, and wept silently...
Beside him, An Wenlin sighed, turned to stare at the A4 photo of Liu Lang's medical record on the computer screen, and muttered to himself, "If Liu Lang had become like those people, he might still be alive..."
******
That evening, An Qingyu returned home.
I finally saw my dad, whom I only see once in a long time, and asked, "Dad, you don't have to work overtime today?"
"What? I finally get a chance to rest, and you're suggesting I go back to work?" An Wenlin said jokingly with a smile.
“How could I dare?” An Qingyu replied.
"I haven't slept for a day and a night, I'm back to rest." An Wenlin, who had also been busy with the car accident, said, still exhausted.
An Wenlin suddenly realized that Liu Lang, like An Qingyu, was a student at Cangnan No. 2 Middle School.
So, while rubbing her shoulder blade with one hand, she asked, "Do you remember Liu Lang from your Aunt Liu's family?"
"Remember, what happened?"
The current An Qingyu is not as crazy as she was later. Wearing black-rimmed glasses, she looks like a refined and scholarly top student.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you know how he's doing at school lately?"
"Him?" An Qingyu asked, somewhat puzzled by An Wenlin's question.
If you ask someone else, he might not know.
But... what Liu Lang said—
The hottest topic of conversation at school these days.
The most notable example is Liu Lang, who was first in Class 2 of Grade 11 and second in the entire school of Cangnan No. 2 Middle School, and went to join the army.
We were talking about a transfer student in their class again today; they also got notified today that they're going to join the army...
They must have participated in the same batch of conscription, right?
His name seems to be Lin Qiye.
He wouldn't normally pay attention to these things, but there are just too many people around him talking about it.
It was hard for him not to know, so he said, "You know? What happened to him?"
