Daily American Drama

Ward 2.

Adam walked to the door when he heard a suppressed sob.

Look in through the glass window above the door.

Sure enough, Bill buried his head on the pillow sideways, trembling and sobbing.

Ugh.

Adam sighed inwardly.

Standing outside for more than ten minutes, waiting for Bill's crying to stop.

Adam pushed the door open and went in.

Doctor Duncan.

Bill wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and greeted with a forced smile.

are you OK?

Adam said softly: You just finished the operation, you should rest well and be careful not to damage the wound.

Thank you doctor, I know.

Bill forced a laugh.

Need to see Dr. Burke?

Adam hesitated: Maybe you need to have a good chat with him?

Preston has spoken to me.

Bill squeezed out a smile: I'm fine, I just need time to recover, just like this wound.

As he spoke, he touched the cut and stitched wound during the operation.

If you need anything, the nurse can call me.

Adam nodded, explained, and was about to leave.

But when he got to the door, he turned back.

What's the matter, Dr. Duncan?

Bill looked at Adam.

There are some things I shouldn't have said.

Standing in front of the hospital bed, Adam pondered: But I still want to persuade you, I want to be more open, the truth is really important sometimes.

He was Bill's bed doctor, so he didn't want Bill to be too sad to break his wound.

At that time, no matter what the specific reason is, he will be a little remiss.

So even if he is unwilling to intervene in the patient's private affairs.

But in order to complete this case as perfectly as possible, he also planned to make an exception and give Bill some psychological counseling.

Thank you, Dr. Duncan.

After Bill was stunned for a moment, he smiled: I understand. Preston is both my good buddy and my doctor. Telling me the truth is for my own good.

Would you like to hear me tell a true story?

Adam simply sat down.

certainly.

Bill was very cooperative.

Even though he was suffering in his heart at the moment, he did not lose his temper with others. He was a very educated person.

This is also one of the important reasons why Adam is willing to be eventful.

There was a young couple in their twenties. The husband was white and the wife was African. They were childhood sweethearts, but because the husband's father strongly opposed them and beat and scolded them frequently, they ran away from home when they were very young. They depended on each other and got married early. married.

Adam said slowly.

They must be in love.

Bill murmured.

yes.

Adam nodded: They love each other very much, the kind that can give their lives for each other. Once they went to a restaurant to eat, and unfortunately met a robber. Looking at the robbers wanting to molest the young wife, the husband dared to come forward, but was dissuaded by the wife.

and then?

Bill asked.

At this time, the kidnapper who wanted to molest his wife suddenly felt unwell and coughed.

Adam continued: The young husband, taking advantage of another robber's attention, knocked him out all at once, then knocked down the robber who wanted to molest his wife, and beat him hard, but at this time The young wife suddenly fell to the ground, covering her throat with her hand, unable to breathe.

The coughing robber has an infectious disease?

Bill guessed.

Everyone is so suspicious.

Adam said: The husband loves his wife very much, so even if they are poor, they dare not call an ambulance at all, but this time the husband gritted his teeth and did not stop the people around him from calling an ambulance. After all, this is not a broken leg...

Bill couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

He heard the ridicule in Adam's words.

As an African-American who came out of the slums, he empathized with the mentality of his young husband.

When I was in school, there was a classmate in the class who was like this and accidentally broke his leg.

A rich classmate kindly wanted to call an ambulance for the classmate with a broken leg.

But the classmate with the broken leg was shocked when he saw it. After asking clearly, he immediately shouted: I'm fine, I'm fine, don't call an ambulance!

Because the ambulance came, and the $1,000 was gone.

Not to mention poor students with broken legs, even middle-class families would be very cautious and would not call an ambulance if they could.

Similarly, there are fire trucks.

A 700 dollars, usually more than 2 dispatched together.

So sometimes it happens, the house catches fire, the fire trucks come, and the homeowner would rather watch the fire with the firefighters than put out the fire with the fire truck.

no way.

The house will be gone if it burns down, but after the fire is put out, the homeowner can't afford the expensive firefighting expenses.

Simply burn it out.

When we arrived at the hospital, we couldn't find out what disease the young wife had at first.

Adam returned to the main topic of the story: The young wife was critically ill at one time. In order to find out what kind of disease the wife had, the husband who developed the same disease but a milder condition voluntarily gave up treatment, allowed the disease to worsen, and endured extreme pain. The doctor performed a brain biopsy on him and gave him a test drug, just to add a glimmer of hope to save his wife.

This is true love...

Bill was shocked.

yes.

Adam nodded: The husband is true love. Thanks to his dedication, the doctor finally found out the cause of the young wife before she died. It turned out that she had hereditary angioedema, a very rare genetic disease, but fortunately It's treatable.

That's good, huh, isn't it?

Bill first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: You said before that your husband also had the same disease, but isn't this a rare genetic disease? Could it be...

Remember at the beginning that the husband's father was so against them being together that they eventually ran away from home?

Adam said: When the hospital contacted him, it was found that he had committed suicide.

But one of them is white and one is of African descent?

Bill murmured, Mixed African?

The young wife is of mixed race, white! The same blond hair and blue eyes as her husband.

Adam said expressionlessly: They are half brothers and sisters. The husband's father cheated on the wife's mother next door, but he never told them.

Bill was startled.

He finally understood what Adam meant by telling this true story.

and after?

Afterwards, there was no love left, only endless pain.

Adam sighed: The wife doesn't want to see her husband's face anymore, because she feels extremely disgusted, and the husband is worried that if they have children, they will be deformed and it will be very painful.

Based on the relationship between them, even if they separated in the end, this kind of pain will last a lifetime, so sometimes the truth is really important, and the blood must not be confused.

I see.

Bill murmured, You're right! The truth does matter!

Adam observed carefully, and saw that while he was shocked, he didn't look too melancholy. He was very relieved, so he didn't tell another story about your sister.
