The child on the hospital bed seemed unaware that his Light of Life was steadily fading. To him, aside from the pain of his daily treatments, most of his time was actually quite pleasant.
The moment he saw his mother arrive, he stood up in delight. As he called out "Mom," he seemed to want to come over and hug her.
But the Nurse beside him stopped him. Several tubes and wires were connected to his body. Some were used to keep him alive, while others monitored his vital signs.
After the woman entered the room, he saw a man who seemed familiar, yet was still a stranger.
"Did you take your medicine obediently today...?"
The woman, who had practically wanted to go naked in the office, now displayed a maternal radiance Lin Qi had never seen on her before. Her entire body seemed to emanate the greatness of a mother's love.
She walked to the boy's side and carefully half-embraced him. Seeing the needles and tubes made her chest tighten.
The boy's unfamiliarity with Lin Qi quickly shifted back to his interaction with his mother. He smiled and told her how brave he had been that day.
Every dose of medicine and every treatment was incredibly painful for him, yet at that moment, he was able to leave the best side of himself for his mother.
Even though he looked only five or six years old.
After Lin Qi had watched for a while, the doctor arrived.
The doctor was clearly stunned when he saw Lin Qi. Other people might not recognize Lin Qi, but as a qualified doctor in the inpatient department, and an absolute member of the Middle Class, he certainly knew him.
He had not expected the patient in this ward to have such a connection.
