Chapter 160 Three Months of Life
"Xu Jing, we are the police. We sent you to the hospital after we found you." Seeing the woman's puzzled look, Cao Cang quickly explained to her.
Xu Jing slowly reacted and saw Gao Yuan holding the child. She was anxious and wanted to get up to call the child. In this way, she almost dropped the needle in her hand. Shang Lu quickly stopped her: "Don't move, you still have a needle inserted in your hand!"
Xu Jing was held down by Shang Lu, but she still looked at the child with worry. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the child was fine. But soon, she looked at the police in embarrassment: "Mr. Police, can you do me a favor?"
Everyone frowned and looked at Gu Nankai, who quickly said, "Tell me what's the matter."
Xu Jing looked at Gu Nankai with some sadness, then looked at her child, and then said: "The child hasn't eaten for two days. Can you please get her something to eat? I'm afraid she can't take it..."
Everyone felt a pain in their hearts. The child had been silent and looked very well-behaved, but who would have thought that she had not eaten for such a long time. Gu Nankai quickly looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Gao Yuan, take the child to eat something, and bring back some food suitable for patients when you come back."
Gao Yuan quickly nodded and wanted to take the child out, but the child stared at Xu Jing on the bed and couldn't move his legs. Xu Jing saw that the child's tears were about to fall, so she smiled and sent the child away: "Go, follow uncle, and come back to find mom later. Mom has something to say to these uncles and aunts."
After hearing what his mother had said, the child finally followed Gao Yuan out reluctantly.
After Gao Yuan left, Xu Jing sighed heavily: "Officer, I'm in this state now, there's really no need to bother you to send me to the hospital."
Gu Nankai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you know your condition?"
Xu Jing smiled helplessly : "I know, stomach cancer, it's been a long time, I know about it."
"Why don't you receive treatment?" Gu Nankai asked, looking into her eyes.
Who knew Xu Jing smiled and said nonchalantly: "Treatment? Can treatment cure it? I know what the result will be. It's just a few more days of survival. The final result is still death. Instead of this, why should I waste the money? It's unnecessary. It's better to save it for the child so that she can live a little better after I'm gone."
"But how can the child live well without you? Your idea is too selfish!" Li Meng got angry when he heard it. He is an orphan, and he knows very well what an orphan misses about his parents. Xu Jing's idea is too cruel for the child!
Xu Jing glanced at Li Meng and smiled bitterly: "Selfish, I know I am selfish, but I have no other choice. I also want to accompany her, but I will leave eventually. What will she do after I leave? How can she live without money? I have wanted to live a few more days countless times, but God does not give me this opportunity. Then I can only make plans for her future life."
After Xu Jing's words, Li Meng found himself speechless, but the anger in his heart was still stuck in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Do you understand your condition clearly?" Gu Nankai glanced at Li Meng and didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Xu Jing again and asked.
Xu Jing was stunned at first, then she sighed and answered Gu Nankai: "Half a year, that's what the doctor said at the time."
Shang Lu frowned and looked at Gu Nankai with a breath in her throat. It was obvious that Xu Jing didn't know what her real situation was yet.
Gu Nankai's brows were also furrowed. At this moment, he was thinking about a problem. He was wondering whether he should tell Xu Jing the truth, or more importantly, whether he should tell Xu Jing the news that Tiger Master might have been killed. He didn't know how much of a blow it would be to this woman if he told Xu Jing these two facts at the same time.
He took a deep breath, and after a while he spoke: "You should have a good rest first."
Then he turned around and walked out the door, shouting again: "You guys come out for a moment."
Xu Jing had sensed that the atmosphere had suddenly changed. She looked at the policemen with some confusion as they walked out with different expressions on their faces. But at the moment she was extremely weak, so she didn't think about anything else. Instead, she lay on the hospital bed, staring at the white ceiling in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
After leaving the ward, Gu Nankai led everyone forward a few steps before stopping. Everyone stood around him. Shang Lu spoke first: "Boss, are you also considering whether to tell Xu Jing the truth?"
Gu Nankai glanced at her and nodded, "Yes, it's not just her illness, but also the news of Tiger Master's death. If we tell her all this, the blow to her will be beyond our estimation."
"Then don't tell her. She's already pitiful enough. What will she do if she knows this? What will happen to the child?" Li Meng was a little anxious. He took a step forward and looked at Gu Nankai excitedly: "Boss, telling Xu Jing this now is not too cruel!"
Gu Nankai pondered for a moment, then looked at Cao Cang: "Cao Cang, what do you think?"
Cao Cang had been silent the whole time. When he heard Gu Nankai asking him, he raised his head and paused before saying, "If we don't tell her, the consequences will be more serious. Tiger Master is dead, and Xu Jing only has a few days left to live. If we don't tell her the truth, Xu Jing will be gone in three months. What will happen to the child? If that happens, it should be something Xu Jing cannot forgive."
He took a breath and continued, "At the beginning, I also hid her illness from Cao Mo, but later I found out that as the ruler of her own body, Cao Mo had the right to know the condition of her body. I thought a lot during those days and finally decided to tell Cao Mo. To my surprise, the uncertainty about her physical condition had always troubled her, but after I told her, she became much more cheerful and began to actively cooperate, eat well, and exercise well. This was a result I had not expected at the beginning. Many times I wondered, if I had not told her at the time, she would still be depressed every day, what would happen now."
He glanced at Gu Nankai and then at Li Meng.
"So in my opinion, Xu Jing has the right to know all this." Cao Cang expressed his final thoughts.
"I agree with my brother!" Just as Cao Cang finished speaking, a female voice sounded behind him, and everyone's attention followed the female voice. It turned out that Cao Mo came over, and Gao Yuan and the little guy came with him.
The difference is that the little guy is now led by Cao Mo. Seeing that everyone turned around to look at them, she walked forward and stood still, patting Cao Cang's shoulder with a smile: "My brother is right. From the patient's point of view, no one wants to be hidden from his illness. Every dying person wants to do something he wants to do in a limited time. If you don't know how long you have left to live, every day is gray, and you don't know when you will suddenly meet the King of Hell. Don't you think it's a loss?"
The little girl looked at everyone, smiled again, and said lightly: "The patient is not as fragile as you think, so don't worry."
Cao Cang looked at his sister and smiled with satisfaction. Cao Mo winked at him playfully.
Patients are not as fragile as you think.
Gu Nankai pondered this sentence carefully in his mind, and suddenly he understood something. If it weren't for what Cao Mo said, he might not have figured it out.
