After a series of checkups, Lei Chen settled the child down and could be admitted to the hospital on the same day.
Jiang City’s equipment and medicine were the latest and best. His symptoms were not very serious. Although the possibility of curing him in the short term was not high, it could
The child’s father held y paid the bill. Lei Chen watched as his receding figure slowly disappeared into the corridor. His heart felt indescribably heavy.
Lei Chen looked at the child’s pale face and comforted him softly, “Don’t worry, you’ll get better soon. You won’t have to cough anymore.” He would be a healthy and happy child again. When Lei Chen thought of this, his face relaxed. At least to them, this was the best outcome.
The child blinked and said softly, “What about Daddy?”
He lay on the bed and looked up at Lei Chen like a rabbit being pushed onto a
laboratory table.
Lei Chen’s face stiffened, but he still smiled and told him that his father had other arrangements.
“Does Daddy have to be hospitalized too?” the child asked. He had never been hospitalized before. He didn’t understand why he was the one lying down. He should have been the healthy one.
Lei Chen did not know how to explain this to him. He could only rub his hair,
“Now, you have to listen to your Father and rest well. You’ll be fine.”
After paying the bill, the father’s face was unusually dark. When he saw the child, he was unwilling to speak or show any expression. He just stared at the bill besides the bed in a daze.
At this time, the child had already fallen asleep. The train ticket was too tiring, and the hospital bed was too soft. After lying down for a while, his eyelids began to droop.
“You’ve worked hard, Sir.” He lowered his head to hold Lei Chen’s hand. Lei Chen felt that his hand was terrifyingly cold.
“If you feel cold, you can get an extra blanket at night.” Lei Chen was still wondering if he was not used to living in Jiang City. Why was he so cold?
The man nodded honestly and didn’t say much. He turned to look at his son, his eyes filled with gentleness and heartache.
But that night, the two of them still disappeared.
The nurse who came to check looked at the empty bed and did not know what to say. The bed was so clean that it looked as if no one had ever lived in it. The blanket was also neatly folded, and there was not even dust.
The father and son looked simple and honest, but in the end, they left without saying anything. What was the reason?
At this moment, Lei Chen heard a nurse teasing them, saying that these two might think that dried persimmons were useful.
There were also nurses who said they might not be able to afford the treatment fees.
However, since they knew that Jiang City’s First Hospital was one of the best in all aspects and was definitely not a hospital that was friendly to the people, they should have prepared the money and come over.
Lei Chen’s heart was burning with anger. He looked at the empty bed and
suddenly felt an impulse.
He was willing to fork out some of his own money to let them stay and receive treatment for a few days. Not only the boy but also his father. He could let them receive treatment for a period of time with his own money. Lei Chen even calculated his savings. His money was enough for the two of them to spend.
Lei Chen felt an indescribable sense of relief.
He was not a person who valued money. After all, money could be earned again. He did not want to haggle over that bit of money.
He seriously walked through every ward, every corner, and even the men’s washroom, but there was no one there.
In the end, Lei Chen returned to the ward.
He did not know why he could always see the boy’s clear eyes in his mind, staring at him like a deer, smiling at him.
Where could they go?
The medicine today was not even considered an intervention. How good could they be?
Lei Chen did not know their ending.
“Did you find them later?” Wang Tian propped her head up and stared at Lei Chen.
Lei Chen shook his head with a bitter smile.
In the vast Jiang City, they were like two small specks of dust.. How could they be found?
