When they arrived at the hospital, the team of specialists Li Yao had arranged was already there, giving Aunt Lin a comprehensive physical examination.
Although it was a small county town, the medical standards weren't bad. The medical equipment was quite advanced, which facilitated the expert consultations. Some difficult tests would have their samples taken back to the provincial capital for analysis, and the reports would be mailed to Li Yao later.
Uncle Lin had already accepted the unfair arrangement of fate.
But Li Yao's grand gesture rekindled his hope.
Could there be a solution? ... Maybe? The expert consultation would last for several days, and it would take a few more days to get the detailed medical reports. Taking advantage of the lull, Li Yao said to Uncle and Aunt Lin, "Even if it's a terminal illness, we shouldn't bow our heads and admit defeat. Stephen Hawking lived for fifty-five years, right?"
Aunt Lin shook her head with a bitter smile.
That's what he said.
But Stephen Hawking was very important to all of humanity, so countless organizations competed to extend his life. But what about her? She was just an ordinary person.
Even if these two kids had money, they couldn't afford to be so extravagant. How much would this expert consultation cost? She didn't dare to think about it! In her opinion, it was better not to bother and save the money for the family to live on.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the say at this time.
I'm a burden.
Aunt Lin looked out the window, her mind churning with certain resolute thoughts—If I were gone, my husband would be much more relaxed, right? My daughter's future would also be easier. It's for the good of the family, so let's not bother.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. When Uncle Lin saw him out of the ward, he said to Uncle Lin, "Aunt's condition isn't good."
Uncle Lin nodded.
Li Yao: "Don't give up! Believe me, there will definitely be a way."
Uncle Lin looked at Li Yao in surprise, wondering where his confidence came from.
But he still nodded and promised, "It's okay, I can definitely take good care of my wife!"
Li Yao nodded and left. Uncle Lin returned to the ward and said to his wife after a moment of silence, "Don't want to hold on anymore?"
Aunt Lin smiled and replied gently, "A little."
Uncle Lin pursed his lips in pain: "That won't do, let's hold on a little longer. Even if it's hard, isn't it good to spend more time with the child?" Uncle Lin grinned, but tears streamed down his cheeks: "It's really tiring and hard, but who lives easily?"
Aunt Lin also cried. She hugged her husband's head, tears flowing, but she smiled very gently: "Oh dear, you're a man, you're being ridiculous. Okay, okay, I'll hold on a little longer, spend more time with Xiaoxi, spend more time with you."
"You promised."
"Oh, if I promised, I promised."
Walking out of the hospital, Li Yao looked back at the tall hospital building behind him, and something seemed to be spreading in his heart, slowly and coldly—In this world, who isn't complaining while painfully tearing themselves apart, while trudging forward with difficulty? Life is a journey of carrying weight, it's very hard.
Six days later, Li Yao received Aunt Lin's detailed test report. Looking at the nearly hundred pages of reports, Li Yao felt a headache. These reports described Aunt Lin's vital signs in detail and gave conclusions and feasible treatment plans.
But Li Yao knew that those treatment plans were just delaying time.
The necrosis and atrophy of motor neurons is a completely incurable terminal illness with the current medical level.
The way to save her life is not in this world.
Li Yao sent these materials to Lin Xiaowei. After the transmission was completed, Li Yao said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Lin Xiaowei replied in seconds: "Received!"
Li Yao: "..."
Damn it, you just went invisible when I told you to take a break? Damn it! Aren't you afraid of killing yourself! But he couldn't blame her for anything.
Putting himself in her shoes, if he encountered these things... he would definitely do the same.
So the chat ended here.
Lin Xiaowei took the information and studied it late into the night, researching pathology. All Li Yao could do was wait...
Five days later, at three o'clock in the morning, his phone suddenly vibrated!
Li Yao got up from the bed with a dazed expression: "???"
What happened! When he woke up, he saw his phone vibrating non-stop... it was a series of message pop-ups from Lin Xiaowei.
Lin Xiaowei: "Dog, are you there!"
Lin Xiaowei: "
