Chapter 139 Xiaomai is sad
Doctor Pan looked at Xiaomai, a girl of eighteen or nineteen, who was forced to endure the sorrow of birth, aging, illness and death. He consoled her:
"Girl, I'll call you Xiaomai! Don't be too pessimistic. We have only made a preliminary diagnosis now. We will have to do further tests to see if it is benign or malignant. In any case, with the development of medicine nowadays, the chances of being cured are still very high."
"Yes, you are right. I can't be too pessimistic. I still have to take care of grandma and let her cooperate with the treatment with the best attitude." Xiaomai wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said firmly.
"That's right. The patient's mentality is very important now. It all depends on the family members. Xiaomai, you are very brave. Take good care of your grandma. I still have to see other patients. You can always come to me if you have any questions."
"Okay, thank you! Dr. Pan, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Xiaomai said politely.
Doctor Pan patted Xiaomai on the shoulder and said, "Be strong and take good care of the patient." Then he turned and left.
After Dr. Pan left, Xiaomai sat on the ground against the wall, hugged her knees, lowered her head and cried silently. Her grandmother was her only relative, who picked her up from the snow and brought her home, raised her to adulthood, and treated her as her own daughter. Her grandmother dedicated the rest of her life to her. Now she had just started working and had not had the chance to repay her grandmother for her upbringing, but her grandmother got this disease.
Xiaomai's heart was broken. She buried her head in her arms and let the tears pour out. After a long while, she raised her head, slowly stood up with the help of the wall, wiped the tears from her face, fixed her makeup, and walked into the ward.
Grandma was still asleep, her pale face made Xiaomai's eyes red again. Xiaomai sniffed and sat in front of the bed, staring at grandma's white hair. She recalled the scene when grandma took her to play when she was a child. Grandma was still young, but she didn't know when her grandma had white hair and wrinkles all over her face. Xiaomai's eyes could not help but turn red. She tilted her head back to prevent tears from falling. She looked at the "tick-tock" sound of the dripping water, hoping that grandma would get better.
After a while, the drip was almost done, so Xiaomai called the nurse, who removed the drip, gave Xiaomai some precautions for patients, and then left.
As soon as the nurse left, grandma woke up slowly. Xiaomai asked anxiously, "Grandma, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"What's wrong with me? I remember I was strolling in the park just now, and suddenly I felt a headache and nausea. How did I get here?" said Grandma Jiang.
"Grandma, you fainted in the park, and a passerby called the emergency number, and you were dragged here."
"Grandma, how do you feel now? Does your head still hurt?" Xiaomai asked again worriedly.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I feel much better. By the way, Xiaomai, why are you here? Aren't you going to work today?"
"Grandma, why didn't you tell me that you were not feeling well? If we had come to the hospital earlier, you wouldn't have fainted." Xiaomai complained to her grandma for not taking care of her health.
"Silly child, grandma is old and her body functions have deteriorated. How can I go to the hospital for just a minor illness? Wouldn't that be tiring?" Grandma knew that her granddaughter was worried about her health, so she grabbed Xiaomai's hand and comforted her.
"Grandma, you scared me to death. Don't do this again in the future." Xiaomai threw herself into Grandma Jiang's arms with red eyes and said in a trembling voice. She was really scared.
"Okay, not in the future. Don't worry, grandma is fine, isn't she?" Grandma Jiang hugged her granddaughter and said with assurance.
"It's so late, grandma, you should take a rest first! I'll go home to get some supplies and buy you some food." Xiaomai looked at the time and it was almost five o'clock. Grandma was sent to the hospital at noon and hasn't eaten yet. She must be hungry! And she needed to go back to get some daily necessities for grandma.
"No need, child. Grandma is not feeling bad anymore. Let me go home with you!" Grandma Jiang said and wanted to go to the field and go home with Xiaomai.
"How can that be possible? Grandma, the hospital recommends staying in the hospital for a few days and taking some medicine to prevent the disease from recurring when you go back."
"The hospital is so scary. I'm fine now, so why should I stay in the hospital? It's not worth the money. Come on, grandma will go back with you."
"Grandma, you promised me just now, but now you don't take care of yourself. Do you have to make me worry and stay anxious?" Xiaomai started crying as she spoke. She didn't want anything to happen to her grandma, but her grandma wouldn't cooperate. What should she do?
Grandma Jiang looked at her granddaughter crying, she sat back on the bed and said, "Granddaughter, stop crying. Grandma will listen to you. Stay in the hospital for a few days for observation, okay?"
"Okay, that's right, grandma. You should have a good rest first. I'll go first." Xiaomai wiped her tears and turned to leave.
Grandma Jiang looked at Xiaomai's back and smiled helplessly. This child was so pitiful. She was abandoned by her parents and had to depend on an old woman like her for so many years. It was so hard for her. If anything happened to her, the child would be left alone and helpless. Forget it, let her do as she pleases!
