"Why did you let Xiao Dong take the risk to save me?" Geng Yuehua asked coldly. Her voice was weak, and her breathing was weak.
The Doctor sighed and took out a bottle of medicine. "Is this the medicine she is taking?"
"Haha, Nanshan District's Party Secretary. I remember him well."
"What did you say?"
"From Director Xu and the rest of the directors' expressions, maybe …"
Geng Yuehua's mother burst into tears. "You … you knew about this long ago? That's why you did not agree to our matchmaking! That's why … "
On the other side of the phone, a smiling female voice said. "Mum, I need to speak to Xiao Bing."
Lin Pingping was stunned. "Sister Yuehua, since you knew about this, why … why didn't you go for chemotherapy?"
The doctor pondered and said, "If chemotherapy and surgery were carried out as soon as it was discovered, she might live for one to two years. But now the cancer cells have already spread … If it's only conservative medical treatment, I'm afraid she only has less than a month to live. The best case scenario is two months at most, and now Secretary Yuehua has just had a major surgery, followed by radiation chemotherapy … We're afraid she won't be able to hold on, so you'd better be mentally prepared. Secretary Yuehua's wound hasn't healed yet, and with the spread of cancer cells, she might die at any time …"
Geng Xinke asked. "It's been almost half a year. My sister had been coughing for the past few months. She said it's pharyngitis. "
Night.
It was quiet in the ward.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.
That means Geng Yuehua might die anytime.
But Zhu Zhu said, "No need. I'll accompany you tonight. I'll bring you tea or water or something."
Geng Xinke asked curiously. "Is this the bottle in my sister's bag? It's this unpackaged bottle. "
"I heard Secretary Geng had woken up."
Zhu Zhu's smile was even more bitter than his. "How could we hide such a big thing from the city?"
Geng Yuehua's mother asked. "If we don't save you, we will watch you die?"
"I know. I will go back after I settle this." Dong Xuebing replied.
Dong Xuebing exclaimed. "How much vitality do I have? I am still alive! "
Ring, ring, ring. The phone was still ringing.
Outside the ward, Dong Xuebing's eyes were bloodshot. He leaned against the wall and sat on the floor for a while. He knew Geng Yuehua was hiding something because her actions were abnormal. But Dong Xuebing did not expect Geng Yuehua to have terminal lung cancer and does not have many days left to live!
"Oh right." Zhu Zhu said, "Before you woke up, the City Commission for Discipline Inspection had called and told you to rest and recuperate. They gave you a week off."
How could this be!?
Dong Xuebing replied. "Can't you tell from my voice? Great, nothing happened to me! "
Dong Xuebing could not sleep and got out of bed for a walk. Suddenly, he heard a few nurses talking at the door.
The moonlight was beautiful, and Dong Xuebing was looking out of the window. He was calm, but he was worried about Yuehua, who was still unconscious. After recuperating for so long, Dong Xuebing's body had recovered some strength, and he can walk without any problems.
"Sis!" Geng Xinke shouted. "You should have gone for chemotherapy earlier! You should have gone for surgery earlier! Even if you don't care about yourself, you should at least think for our parents! "
"What? Her condition is not under control? "
Yuehua's life is in danger, and Dong Xuebing is furious.
"It's not that there is no packaging." The doctor hesitated. "It's Secretary Yuehua who tore it off. I had sent this medicine to the pharmacy, and it's … anti-cancer medicine."
Geng Xinke's father shouted. "Yuehua! Is this real? "
"You don't sound sick, but I will be worried if I don't see you."
"Really? When did this happen? "
"Ah?"
Dong Xuebing's face changed. "That's why you can't find the culprit?"
"Yes."
Geng Xinke's father also burst into tears. "I'm sending my daughter off! What did I do in my previous life?! "
Dong Xuebing panicked. What's going on? Didn't they say Yuehua is out of danger?
"Don't worry. I will be discharged now. Don't come."
After that, Dong Xuebing started crying.
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "What are you talking about?"
"Our parents are getting married, and you don't have time to come. That's why I have to come over. But I heard you are doing well. I heard you saved a damsel in distress?"
"Ok … ok. If you need anything, just call me. I will be there anytime." Zhu Zhu heard Dong Xuebing's reply and left the ward.
Zhu Zhu from the Municipal Party Committee's First Supervision Office entered the ward. "Director, I have asked everything."
Zhu Zhu hurriedly helped him up and said, "I've asked the comrades from the Nanshan District Public Security Bureau. They said that they've found the car involved in the accident from the surveillance footage. It's a black Elantra. They also found the car in a sparsely populated place on the outskirts of the city. But according to the investigation, the car was stolen two days ago. The owner is a department leader of a private company. He also reported the case the day before yesterday, so …"
"Where? I don't know. Anyway, that's what my sister said. She had been taking medicine for a few months, but there is no effect. What's wrong, Doctor? "
Geng Xinke's father asked. "Doctor, how long can Yuehua … live?"
"Cough … cough … cough …" Geng Yuehua started coughing uncontrollably.
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch. It's past 9 pm.
Dong Xuebing replied without turning his head. "Come in."
The caller had changed. "Hello? It's me."
Dong Xuebing nodded. If the Public Security Bureau still can't find a suspect, Dong Xuebing will go to Zhang Biao's house and tear him to pieces!
"What's so pretty about her? She is just average."
The doctor replied. "Although the chemotherapy can delay her for some time, it's very painful. Sigh …"
"Alright … stop talking to me. Rest well. I'm afraid you will not make it today. I will visit you with our mother tomorrow."
"I had met Yuehua before, and I know what she looks like."
"Be careful."
Geng Yuehua finally spoke. "Why are you all crying?! Who doesn't want to die? What's the big deal? "
Dong Xuebing's mother scolded. "Bullshit! I had only donated 200 ml of blood in the past! I had been feeling dizzy for the past few days, and you only donated 2,000 ml of blood! How can I be fine?! "
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Does the City know about this?"
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing felt guilty. Sigh … he had let his family worry about him again. But Yuehua was in such a critical condition, and how can he not save her? Even if he does not have the ability to turn back time, Dong Xuebing will not let anything happen to Yuehua.
"Aiyo, look at you, aren't you being too shallow? Did I save her because she is pretty? "
Geng Yuehua's father replied. "Our whole family should thank Xiao Dong. He had saved you twice."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Hello, Mum."
Geng Yuehua's mother cried. "You make it sound so easy! You are gone! What should we do? What should we do? "
"Cancer?"
Suddenly, the doctor interrupted, "Let me interrupt, your daughter's cough … How long has it been?"
"Tell me." Dong Xuebing walked towards the bed. "Have you caught the driver?"
… …
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's phone rang. It's his mother, Luan Xiaoping.
"How is this possible?!" Geng Yuehua's mother exclaimed. "No!"
"You must be careful. Do you remember?"
Geng Yuehua did not say a word.
The doctor said slowly, "We didn't notice it during the surgery, but in the afternoon, we did a comprehensive examination for Secretary Yuehua. Only then did we find that there was a shadow in her lungs, and it had already spread. After preliminary diagnosis, it was diagnosed as terminal lung cancer!"
Everyone, including Dong Xuebing, was shocked!
Geng Yuehua's mother, Lin Pingping, and Geng Xinke were crying.
How did this happen?
"That's not it." Zhu Zhu replied. "Because this incident had caused a huge commotion, Fen Zhou City's Public Security had started to investigate. After some analysis, they found the suspect from a CCTV photo of the driver. Although that person was wearing sunglasses and disguised himself, the Public Security still found out he is related to Deputy District Mayor Zhang Huo's son, Zhang Biao. He looks similar to one of Zhang Biao's hooligans. When I arrived, the Police had already gone to arrest him. They suspect this car accident is due to Secretary Yuehua's order to investigate Zhang Huo's corruption case. The City Committee had also given a deadline to solve this case."
Geng Yuehua stopped coughing and did not say a word.
"Where did you diagnose her?" The doctor asked.
"Please don't. I'm here on a mission. I still have work to do. What do you think I look like when I bring my family with me? I am not that weak! I know all of you are worried about me. I am fine. Let my mother and Uncle Yang know. "
"Don't worry about me. Go back to sleep. It's getting late."
"You still think I am bothering you? Haha … alright. Let's hang up. I am relieved to hear you are so energetic. "Dong Xuebing said.
Nanshan District Second Hospital.
"She had just woken up not long ago. But our hospital's leaders had gone over. I think …"
"Why are you messing around again? How is she? How is she? "Dong Xuebing's mother asked anxiously.
"You go back first and rest early." Dong Xuebing told Zhu Zhu.
"I'll remember. Look at you dawdling."
Dong Xuebing barged into Geng Yuehua's ward, ignoring the nurse who was trying to stop him. The ward's door was closed, but Dong Xuebing could hear their conversation clearly as he stood at the door.
Geng Xinke shouted. "I was wondering why you were behaving strangely after returning from Shanghai! Did you find out about this from the Shanghai Hospital? Sis! Why didn't you tell us earlier?! "
Luan Xiaoping nodded and turned to her son. "Your wife wants to speak to you, and I gave it to her."
"… alright. Come back early."
Dong Xuebing was nervous and cleared his throat. "Huilan, why did you go to our mother's place?"
