Chapter 16: Indifference

Send to Building D?

I was stunned for a moment, then I flew into a rage, grabbed the doctor by the collar, and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Send her to Building D? Do you want her to not even have the right to choose death?"

Building D, the place that makes people shudder.

On the surface, it is to use honest drugs and medical equipment to prolong the patient's life.

In fact, it is torturing patients in an alternative way.

I can’t remember how many times I was awakened by the patients’ painful groans and cries, and how many times they knelt in front of me, crying, “Doctor Tian, please kill me, it hurts so much” - every word and expression of the patients was like a sharp knife cutting into my heart.

But now?

He actually said to let Cheng Xiaoyan live in Building D?

No, you can't!

Never!

"Don't get excited, this is just my advice to you!" The doctor smiled bitterly, probably not expecting my reaction to be so strong, "Send him to Building D, there are still some medications for treatment, and if you're lucky, he can still live for a while, it's better than giving up directly, right?"

"Who said I was giving up?"

I let go of him and said coldly.

When I walked into the ward, Cheng Xiaoyan, who was lying on the bed, did not look as sad as I had imagined.

She leaned on the bed, looking out the window with her side profile. The white sheets blended with her fair skin, as if she was wrapped in snow.

A breeze blew through the window, and this profile was absolutely beautiful.

"You're here?"

She turned her head and smiled at me.

I nodded, walked up to her, and said, "You knew you had this disease a long time ago? Why didn't you come for treatment earlier? If you had come earlier, maybe it wouldn't be as irreversible as it is now."

Cheng Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "No, I didn't know I was sick."

have no idea?

I frowned.

If she didn't know, why would she ask me that question in the classroom?

"Didn't you call your grandma?" I asked.

"No, she is old, it's better not to let her know about this." Cheng Xiaoyan shook her head.

I said, "But she will be worried if she sees that you haven't come home ."

"Worried?" Cheng Xiaoyan laughed bitterly, "Yes, she is worried, but she is never worried about my life or death."

I was confused and didn't understand what she meant.

Thinking about the quarrel in the house last night, I guess their relationship is not very good, right?

"Zhiyong, will I die?"

Cheng Xiaoyan asked suddenly.

"Everyone will die, but not now." I said seriously: "Don't worry, I will save you."

"How to save him? Do you want to pay for my medical expenses? Forget it, don't waste money." Cheng Xiaoyan sighed.

"I don't have any money to pay for it. To be honest, my mother is also seriously ill and is now staying in this hospital."

Cheng Xiaoyan looked at me in surprise and asked me what was going on?

I briefly spoke to her.

After listening to this, she fell silent.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to save you - your situation is different from my mother's after all," I comforted her.

Cheng Xiaoyan forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Zhiyong. I didn't know your family was in this situation before, and they always laughed at you. I--"

"Stop talking and take care of yourself." I interrupted her.

…

After leaving the hospital, I took out my cell phone and called Chen Wei, explained Cheng Xiaoyan’s condition to her, and asked her if there was any way to help.

Chen Wei asked me, are you sure you want to save her?

I didn't think much about it and said, "I'm sure."

Although my relationship with Cheng Xiaoyan only eased a little last night, I don't want to see a young life disappear from my side just like that.

Chen Wei pondered for a moment and said, "At present, I can only think of one way, that is to donate."

"You think the same . The question is, how to mobilize donations?" I said.

Chen Wei said that there are two ways to donate. One is to post information through an online platform, but this method is inefficient and not much money can be raised... The second method is the simplest, which is to go directly to the school to initiate donations. After all, Cheng Xiaoyan is also a student here, and the school should not sit idly by.

I thought about it and realized that it is true.

Online donations are really useless. When my mother was sick, I posted information on major donation platforms, but received very few responses. The only cases that can really get help are some particularly touching cases that are reported in the media and become popular, and only then will netizens discover them.

Now, I can only rely on the school.

After hanging up the phone, I went straight to the school leader’s office.

I first found the counselor, explained the situation to him, and then he took me to see the principal.

The principal did not immediately answer whether he would help or not. Instead, he asked the people in the archives to bring Cheng Xiaoyan's information over. After looking at it for a while, he said, "I'm afraid I can't help."

"Why?" I asked in surprise.

"Her performance in school is very poor. She skips classes, is late, leaves early, fights, and has been punished many times... The school has no obligation to help a student with such a bad record," the principal said coldly.

I was stunned...

I can't believe this is what the principal said?

I was furious and shouted, "You are a principal, don't you know that everyone is equal in the face of life? How come the lives of poor students are not lives? How dark is your heart?"

The principal was irritated by my attitude and yelled at me to get out immediately.

"You must organize donations immediately, otherwise I will sue you at the Education Bureau!"

Since we've already fallen out, I don't care anymore and said through gritted teeth.

"Sue me?" The principal sneered, "Okay, go and try now."

He said this with confidence, and I didn't know whether he was really confident or just pretending.

But I knew it was all over.

…

Back at the hospital, I came to the door of Cheng Xiaoyan's ward, but I still didn't have the courage to step in.

I didn't dare tell her the news, let alone look at her desperate and chilling face.

"Oh, this girl is so pitiful. She is so young and yet she has this disease."

"Yeah, she's about the same age as my daughter. It makes me sad just looking at her."

"She has been in the hospital for a day and no family members have come. I guess there is no hope for her treatment."

"Then I can only wait to die?"

"Of course. If you don't have money to pay for medical expenses, the hospital will immediately stop providing medication, and the next step will be to move to Building D."

"Building D? The one that's said to be haunted?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you..."

Several caregivers were whispering nearby.

Building D is haunted!

My head jerked when I heard these words.

Buzz buzz buzz——

The cell phone rang at this moment.

I glanced at the incoming call and saw a string of garbled characters, and my heart was shocked.

It was exactly the same as the last time Liu Bin called!

is it him?

"Hello?"

I held my breath and spoke nervously.
