Qiao Hao was sitting in the corridor outside the MRI room, and it had been more than half an hour since Shi Dongdong had entered.

He somewhat regretted what he said to Shi Dongdong just now, he said that the inspection time would not be too long anyway, now, he only felt that half an hour was extremely long.

For a long time, his thoughts became very chaotic, so chaotic that it was close to blank.The joy of being needed before was quickly diluted by anxiety. The person who was checked inside did not know what was going on.

Qiao Hao stood up and slowly paced back and forth in the corridor, occasionally looking up, he saw other people waiting for examination on the bench on the other side.It was a woman in her 30s, wearing a hospital gown, pale and thin, surrounded by several people, the older ones were probably parents, the middle-aged man was probably her husband, and there was a child playing with her head squatting at her feet.

"Doctor, will this examination take a long time?" The old lady walked over a few steps. Seeing Qiao Hao wearing a white coat, she thought it was a doctor from this department.

"It depends on the site to be examined and the condition of the patient." Qiao Hao replied reluctantly. At this moment, he was really not in the mood to play a doctor. He was more of a family member than a family member.

"Uncle doctor, does the examination hurt?" At the foot, at some point, a little boy ran over and tugged at the hem of Qiao Hao's white coat.

"It doesn't hurt, go and cheer on mom!" Qiao Hao knelt down and touched the little boy's head.

The child obviously believed in his words, nodded abruptly, and then dragged the old lady back to the bench.

After the little boy walked away, Qiao Hao saw that the door of the laboratory had been opened, and Shi Dongdong was standing not far in front of him.

"How is it?" Qiao Hao hurriedly got up and walked over to ask.

"The inspection is over." Shi Dongdong smiled at him, his expression was not good.

"I'll help you go back." Qiao Hao took Shi Dongdong's arm and lowered his voice.

The person being supported also seemed to be very tired, so he stopped talking to Qiao Hao and let him help him walk.

The two walked through the aisle between the two hospital buildings, took the elevator again, and finally returned to the ward of the emergency room.There are still people coming and going in the aisle.

Seeing that Shi Dongdong remained silent, Qiao Hao felt a little worried, and he couldn't help but speak until he sat on the hospital bed.

"The doctor... didn't say anything?"

"That's right, I asked my age again." Shi Dongdong shrugged, "It's a pity."

"Don't think too much." Qiao Hao frowned, and his heart tightened.

"Well, don't think too much. Now I feel dizzy and want to sleep." Shi Dongdong looked tired, and turned his body to pull the quilt by his feet.

Qiao Hao hurriedly went to help him, helped him to sleep, and shook off the quilt.During the whole process, Shi Dongdong cooperated unexpectedly, as docile as an obedient pet, and watched his master the whole time.

Qiao Hao was a little embarrassed by him, and finally stood by the bed almost stiffly, "What do you want for lunch later? I'll help you buy it."

"No, the nurse will deliver the meals." Shi Dongdong shook his head lightly, "Go back, were you on duty all night last night?"

"We are used to being on duty, and we can sleep for a while in between."

"Tomorrow, will you come to accompany me for an examination?"

"Tomorrow..." Qiao Hao's voice hesitated. Tomorrow he will have an outpatient clinic one day.

"It's okay, anyway, tomorrow's examination will be under general anesthesia, I don't know if you accompany me." Shi Dongdong's face was exposed outside the quilt, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Qiao Hao couldn't bear to disturb him anymore, so he patted his quilt and left.

Qiao Hao returned home that day and was in a daze for a long time.Before he had time to think about the fragility and dependence that Shi Dongdong showed in front of him, he only felt an unprecedented anxiety in his heart—very, very worried about Shi Dongdong's condition.

But this kind of worry was just a worry, he didn't dare to think about it, he couldn't think about it.Therefore, he can only be in a daze.

Fortunately, the call from his mother relieved him temporarily.

"Xiaohao, your sister is really divorced..." the woman cried on the other end of the phone.

Qiao Hao was stunned and had no choice but to continue listening silently.

The mother complained endlessly about her daughter's waywardness, occasionally scolded Qiao Hao's brother-in-law who was no longer her son-in-law, then worried about Qiao Min's future, and then mourned her own fate.Qiao Hao couldn't get in the conversation, but he could tell slowly that his brother-in-law had an extramarital affair, and his sister had a straightforward personality, so she directly filed for divorce, and she left the house by herself.

Qiao Hao suddenly felt very guilty. After all, when Qiao Min was here that time, he didn't pay much attention to him.

However, he can understand Qiao Min, whether it's divorce or leaving the house.She is independent enough that she doesn't want to be emotionally sloppy, and she doesn't want to cause embarrassment for both parties because of property. What's more, like now, she will always be an emotional creditor, which fits her strong personality.

However, the mother didn't think so. She was only worried about whether her half-grown daughter who was married once would be wanted in the future.

After much difficulty, my mother babbled on the phone for nearly half an hour, and finally stopped after Qiao Hao said, "Mom, I'm very tired, and I have an outpatient clinic tomorrow."

"Oh, look at me, I forgot how hard your job is." The woman hurriedly stopped, but then started a new round of questioning, "Xiao Hao, how are you? Have you met anything good recently?" If you have a girl? If you have one, you must tell your mother, and you can take it home to play. I am really heartbroken when your sister is like this, and now I only hope that you can have a good family..."

"Mom." Qiao Hao called out wearily.

"Okay, okay, don't say much, you want to live alone, you must pay attention to your body, go to bed early, play less computer games, and don't eat those foreign fast food." Mother finished these words at the fastest speed, and finally in After getting a positive answer from Qiao Hao, he hung up the phone.

When the busy voice came, Qiao Hao finally took a breath.

Originally, he wanted to call Qiao Min, but he didn't know what to say to her.Perhaps, one day, I should ask my sister out to meet and talk about her marriage and her plans for the future.But thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. He was not much more mature than her. If he really wanted to talk about these two issues, he would have nothing to say.

Or, can't say it.

He also thought about Shi Dongdong, whether there will be this person in his future, and whether this person will have a future.

The next day, Shi Dongdong had to undergo a brain biopsy.

Qiao Hao's outpatient clinic was extremely busy that day. At ten o'clock in the morning, there were already more than 260 waiting numbers in the computer system.Nurses are not allowed to announce on the radio that only number 230 can be seen in the outpatient clinic in the morning, and people after that need to start queuing at 01:30 in the afternoon.When the broadcast ended, there was an uproar in the waiting room, and some people had already started scolding.

Qiao Hao sat on his seat, surrounded by people who rushed in without waiting for his number to be called. Because it was a respiratory department, there were constant coughing sounds in the room.Wearing a mask, he fought continuously for more than four hours. At this time, he was already dizzy with boredom. His original thought of taking some time to see Shi Dongdong was shattered by reality, and there was nothing left.

"Close the door, please. After reading the last person in this ward, the morning will be over." Qiao Hao shouted towards the door.

Unfortunately, it was useless, someone still squeezed in just as he finished speaking.

By the time Qiao Hao finished watching all the patients in the morning, it was already one o'clock, and he only had half an hour to eat and "rest".

For the outpatient clinic in the afternoon, he dared not skip a meal, otherwise the embarrassment of the abnormal abdominal noise when facing the patient would be too embarrassing.Of course, more importantly, he needs physical strength.

So, he reluctantly stuffed a few mouthfuls of fried rice with eggs in the cafeteria to fill his stomach.Then, he rushed to the emergency ward, and only a quarter of an hour was left for him to see Shi Dongdong.

When he ran to that corridor, Qiao Hao was out of breath, but Shi Dongdong's hospital bed in the corridor was empty.

Qiao Hao hurriedly grabbed a passing nurse and asked, "Where are the patients with an extra bed?"

The nurse was startled by Qiao Hao's expression, and after a pause, she answered smoothly, "The family transferred her to God."

Qiao Hao felt a little more at ease in his heart, and then asked again, "How is the inspection going?"

"I'm not sure about this. After he went to check in the morning, he transferred directly."

"Thank you." Qiao Hao thanked in a hurry, turned around and rushed to the elevator.

The nurse looked at his back and couldn't help shaking her head, muttering, "It's more urgent than our emergency department..."

When he rushed out of the elevator and ran to the inpatient ward of neurosurgery, Qiao Hao felt that he was exhausted. However, he only wanted to see Shi Dongdong, even if he saw him lying on the hospital bed safely. Be calm.

However, he didn't even know the number of Shi Dongdong's hospital bed.He hurriedly looked at the watch in his hand, the time was getting tighter and tighter, just when he was about to rush to the nurse's station to inquire, on the other side of the corridor, he saw Chen Zhi sitting on the bench.

Qiao Hao ran over, "How is Dongdong?" He asked.

Chen Zhi looked at him in surprise, "Fortunately, the cell tissue was taken, and it will take about two days for the results to come out."

Qiao Hao nodded, looked at the closed ward next to Chen Zhi, "Is he in there?"

"Well, the anesthetic hasn't passed yet." Chen Zhi stood up, thinking that Qiao Hao was about to go in, and didn't show any intention of stopping him, but immediately said, "Don't tell him you saw me."

Qiao Hao glanced at Chen Zhi suspiciously, and soon realized that he was the "eyeliner" of Shi Dongdong's father, and Shi Dongdong said that he didn't want to be "watched".

So Qiao Hao nodded.For Chen Zhi, he didn't have much dislike, because he didn't know him well, and because every time he saw this person, he could feel that he really cared about Shi Dongdong.

Qiao Hao pushed open the door gently, and found that it was not a single room, but a room shared by three people.However, he saw Shi Dongdong at a glance, because there were no other patients in the ward.

On the bed by the window, Shi Dongdong lay quietly on it, with no water hanging on his hand, as if taking a nap, except that the side of the head was covered with adhesive tape and wrapped in a medical net.

Qiao Hao closed the door gently and decided not to go in.

"What was the doctor's diagnosis before?" He finally asked Chen Zhi.

"The doctor didn't make a diagnosis." Chen Zhi answered him like this.

"I know, I'm asking what they suspect?" Qiao Hao could feel his heart beating, which was even more obvious than when he ran over before.

"Glial...blastoma." Chen Zhi had an extremely difficult answer.

"No." Qiao Hao almost blurted out, because he understands that among all kinds of brain tumors, glioblastoma is the most malignant, and Shi Dongdong is so young, he will not suffer from such a disease.

"Yes, I'm just suspicious." Chen Zhi nodded.

Qiao Hao felt that the air was a bit dull, and his throat seemed to be choked by something. He wanted to choke, but he was controlled by a sudden swallowing movement, and then there was a soreness there.

He looked at his watch subconsciously, he was almost late.

"I'll go to work first, and I'll come to see him again." Qiao Hao removed his hand still clinging to the doorknob of the ward, and turned around with some strength.He stroked his forehead, and found it difficult to move his steps.
