Chapter 203: Is it hereditary?
Chapter 203 I wonder if it's hereditary?
Caiyun's words really surprised me.
But the unexpectedness didn't feel shocking.
During the years we followed Professor Ming, we witnessed many such things.
There are even more tragic things than this.
“Caiyun, I can do my best to cure Xiaotao, but if you want to break free from the shackles of marriage, you have to rely on yourself,” I stated.
"Professor Shen, don't worry, I understand." Caiyun wiped away her tears: "From now on, I will work hard. As long as I can cure Xiaotao, I am willing to do anything. I have no family anymore, I only have this son."
The colorful clouds wept.
I was getting a headache from her crying: "You can put your mind at ease about Xiao Tao's matter, but what about yourself?"
Caiyun raised her head, looking somewhat confused.
"Xiao Tao's medical expenses have been covered, but what about you?" I asked bluntly, "Have you thought about how you're going to survive?"
"I don't have much education," Caiyun said softly. "If I go out to work, who will take care of Xiaotao?"
“The hospital has caregivers, they’re on a voluntary basis, they’re very professional and will take good care of Xiao Tao,” I explained.
"What kind of work can I do?" Caiyun was a little at a loss.
"What do you think you're good at?" I asked in return.
Caiyun thought and thought, "It seems like all I know is embroidery."
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief: "I embroidered this myself; it's a traditional craft from our area."
Caiyun is proficient in Miao embroidery.
I often saw this kind of embroidery when I was with Professor Ming.
"I'll find someone to connect you with someone." I thought to myself, "Your embroidery is so good, someone will definitely want it."
"Okay!" Caiyun smiled.
"Caiyun, you must always remember that others' help is only temporary. You must always rely on yourself. You've taken the first step, which is very brave." I smiled slightly and said, "Keep it up."
"Yes!" Caiyun nodded vigorously: "I will definitely do my best."
"Then you stay with Xiao Tao for now." I turned and left.
As I left the ward, I ran into Aunt Wang, whom I hadn't seen for several days.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, you're back."
"Aunt Wang, I'm sorry, I've been busy outside these days." I walked over and said, "But Niu Niu's condition is very stable, so you don't need to worry."
"I know," Aunt Wang said with a smile. "I made some side dishes myself and was thinking of giving some to you for lunch."
"Thank you." I accepted it gratefully. "Aunt Wang, you still have to take care of Niu Niu, so you really don't need to prepare anything for me."
"It was all done on the spur of the moment," Aunt Wang explained. "Niu Niu has been doing really well lately. She's eating and sleeping well, and her personality has become much more cheerful. I'm so grateful to you for arranging for those people to come and see her."
“Aunt Wang, those people came voluntarily after hearing about Niu Niu’s situation. It wasn’t my arrangement.” I smiled and said, “But it seems to be working very well.”
"Xiao Shen, Auntie wants to ask you, given Niu Niu's current condition, when will she need surgery?" Aunt Wang asked.
“Aunt Wang, since you asked, I’ll just say it directly.” I said carefully, “Given Niu Niu’s current condition, her illness is stable, so the kidney transplant surgery will probably have to be prioritized for those who need it.”
"I understand, I understand." Aunt Wang said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm not rushing you. Actually, after being hospitalized for so long, I know that there are too many people in need here. Sigh, if there were no difficulties, who would come to the hospital?"
"Aunt Wang, what do you want to say to me?" I asked.
"I wanted to ask if Niu Niu could be discharged from the hospital temporarily given her condition?" Aunt Wang explained, "It's because her maternal grandfather is also on holiday, and Xiao Huo helped us arrange a house here. We want to spend the New Year with Niu Niu there."
"Aunt Wang, wait for my news. I'll go check on her again in a bit. If everything's alright, it's fine for Niu Niu to be discharged. Just don't leave here. Call me immediately if anything happens," I instructed.
"Definitely," Aunt Wang said. "Your teacher, Teacher Tian, is also very happy that Niu Niu's condition is so stable."
“Niu Niu is very well-behaved and cooperates well with the treatment,” I said with a smile.
"That shows your medical skills are superb." Aunt Wang held my hand and said, "You are really promising, Xiao Shen. You are a talent. It is a blessing for so many patients to have you around."
"Aunt Wang, you flatter me." I said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "I'm not making this up. You have no idea how much everyone praises you."
I looked embarrassed: "Someone actually praised me?"
"Xiao Shen, truly capable people are never afraid of gossip." Aunt Wang looked at me with a smile: "Good child, don't care about those people, some people just parrot what others say."
"I understand." I nodded.
"I'm leaving now. Remember to eat lunch," Aunt Wang instructed.
"Ah."
Aunt Wang then left.
I looked at the side dish in my hand and smiled with satisfaction.
Just as I was about to leave.
A middle-aged man walked up to me and said, "Professor Shen, hello."
"Who are you?" I asked, puzzled.
“I’m someone who works for Madam Mo, and they all call me Third Uncle.” Third Uncle smiled and said, “Madam Mo is not feeling well and came to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong. They asked Professor Shen to come and take a look.”
I thought to myself, I know that Madam Mo's visit to me is not for anything good.
"it is good."
My third uncle took me there.
Madam Mo is in a VIP ward.
This time, even the dean was alarmed.
The dean gave me a wink.
I smiled.
He went inside with his third uncle.
An elderly woman sat in a wheelchair with her back to me; she was dressed elegantly and dignifiedly.
"Madam, Professor Shen has arrived," Uncle San said respectfully.
"Madam Mo," I said.
Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Mo turned around.
She looked at me indifferently.
I looked at her, and my brows furrowed involuntarily.
why?
I felt a strange sense of familiarity with her.
It feels like I've seen it somewhere before.
“Those Western doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Let me take a look.” She placed her wrist on the armrest of the wheelchair.
I walked over, sat down, and gently placed my fingers on it.
I kept staring at Madam Mo's profile, and my unease grew deeper and deeper.
"How is it?" Her tone was neither warm nor cold, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
“You are in excellent health, just a little weak in the spleen. A few doses of medicine will do the trick,” I said.
"It's normal for people to have problems with their internal organs as they get older." She withdrew her hand. "When we first met, Professor Shen kept staring at me. Did he notice something?"
"No," I admitted honestly. "I just felt like I recognized him."
Madam Mo smiled faintly: "Familiar? People get old, their skin and flesh have changed, so they all look similar."
I remained silent.
"How is Professor Shen's mother's health?" she suddenly asked with concern.
"Everything is fine," I said.
She narrowed her eyes: "Professor Shen went to Hejia Village to investigate, I wonder if he did a good job of studying the cause of my mother's illness, I wonder if it is hereditary?"
