The feeling of waiting for the inspection report is like waiting for the results of a big exam many years ago. Although the effort is slightly different, the feeling of wanting to know the result and being afraid of knowing the result is the same.

Qiao Hao still remembers the postgraduate entrance examination that year. He bravely applied for the best major in the best medical university in the south. At [-]:[-], he picked up the phone and dialed the information station, and the female voice inside mechanically reported his grades one by one, until the final total score, he held his breath and dared not take a breath.

Now, on the night he was on duty, he also felt the same way, unable to fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned in bed.But this night Corey was exceptionally calm, no new patients were transferred from the emergency department, and no old patients in the ward had problems.

In the end, Qiao Hao had no choice but to take out his phone and flip through the webpage.

He couldn't help but searched for "glioblastoma". On a medical website he had been visiting, as soon as he typed this keyword, a series of related papers quickly jumped out, and in these papers, the survival rate was always extremely high. Brilliantly attracting his attention.

It's just that the more he looked at those numbers, the colder he felt in his heart.

Then, Qiao Hao said to himself, those numbers would never belong to someone like Shi Dongdong.

After spending the night shift calmly and tossing and turning, after checking the house and giving a case analysis class to the interns, Qiao Hao was finally free.

He tried to keep himself at a relaxed pace and came to the neurosurgery ward.

The door of Shi Dongdong's room was closed, and Qiao Hao knocked on the door, but no one answered. After turning the handle, he found that the door was locked.

For a moment, he was a little anxious, and the bad mood all night continued into this gloomy morning, and some bad thoughts began to turn in his mind, maybe, that person already knew the result, maybe he was directly picked up by his father and transferred to another hospital, maybe that People are locking themselves in their rooms...

"Shi Dongdong! Open the door!" Qiao Hao shouted anxiously.

The little nurse passing by looked sideways and stopped.

"What are you shouting for? There's no one inside. It's time to go downstairs for a walk."

"Sorry..." Qiao Hao was embarrassed, but quickly asked again, "Has Shi Dongdong's pathology report come out?"

"Are you his friend?" After seeing Qiao Hao's face clearly, the little nurse's tone became better, but she didn't know anything about Qiao Hao's question, "I don't know much about the report, you have to ask Ask the doctor, he seems to be in charge of our director."

"Ah, thank you." Qiao Hao nodded, still anxious.

Seeing him like this, the little nurse pointed to the direction in front of the corridor again, "The director is in a meeting now, why don't you ask him later."

After being helped so far, Qiao Hao had no choice but to thank him again and again.

Qiao Hao waited at the door of the conference room for twenty minutes, only regretting that the time passed so slowly.

Finally, when it was nearly half an hour, someone came out from the inside. It seemed that they just went to the toilet, but the door opened because of it.

Through the half-open door, Qiao Hao saw Shi Chongshan sitting inside at a glance, and beside him stood Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi also saw him, so he walked out.

"Are you discussing his condition? Has the result come out?" Qiao Hao asked impatiently.

Chen Zhi slightly nodded his head.

"How is it?" Qiao Hao's heart rose to his throat.

Chen Zhi glanced at Qiao Hao with a solemn expression, as if hesitating, but finally said, "Tumor, malignant."

Of course, Qiao Hao knew that the tumors growing on the brain were almost all malignant. He almost grabbed the collar of the person opposite him, "What kind?"

"Oligodendroglioma." Chen Zhi said slowly.

Qiao Hao let go of his hand, heaved a sigh of relief, it wasn't Jiaomu, it was Shaozhi.For a moment, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the air seemed to be fresher at this moment.

Compared with glioblastoma, oligoblastoma is much better. It can be removed by surgery, and it is not so easy to relapse after surgery. Most importantly, the survival rate is high, and it is possible for ten, 20, or even 30 years.

"Really? Is it true?" Qiao Hao's voice couldn't hide his excitement. Even after ten years, it was already much better than expected.He still remembers the feeling of cold hands and feet when he saw the survival rate of glioblastoma the night before. According to the paper, it is a miracle that patients with that disease can persist for a year.

Chen Zhi nodded, watching the changes in Qiao Hao's expression.

"What about the classification? Is it level one or level two?" Qiao Hao asked again.

"Level [-], the doctors are discussing the specific arrangements for the operation." Chen Zhi replied that he was already very familiar with some terms in brain cancer. The WHO grades brain tumors, and Level [-] is the most elementary.

Qiao Hao felt that his eyes were a little sour, but soon, he forced himself to calm down.

After all, the first grade is also malignant, and surgery is required, and surgery will be risky.

"Are you going to invite the best doctor to operate on him?" Qiao Hao subconsciously looked into the meeting room. The door there was already closed, and in the transparent glass outside, the blinds were closed, and only a few people sitting upright could be vaguely seen. silhouette.

"Of course, his father loves him very much." Chen Zhi also looked back at the number plate of the conference room.

Qiao Hao was noncommittal to his statement, but at this moment, he didn't care about it.

He was only thankful for Shi Dongdong's nearly pardoned sentence.

"You love Dongdong too, don't you?" Chen Zhi asked suddenly.

Qiao Hao was stunned, shocked by Chen Zhi's abrupt question, and also shocked by the words he used.

Love, is it that deep?

He looked at Chen Zhi, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

"I'm just asking casually," Chen Zhi seemed more embarrassed than him, with an unnatural expression on his face, "He seems to have gone to your place to look for you, you go and tell him the news, at least it's not too bad. "

After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the meeting room.

Qiao Hao was lost in thought for a few seconds outside the door, he was still thinking about Chen Zhi's question, but in the end, he didn't dare to answer himself hastily.

Is the impulsiveness for so many days because of pity for that person, or the long-standing guilt in memory, or is it just the dissatisfaction with a person whose heart belongs to him due to hormones?

Too many doubts were covered up by previous worries about Shi Dongdong's illness. Now that the clouds are clear and the light is back, but he can't see his heart clearly.

Qiao Hao shook his head, unwilling to do any more useless work, he decided to find Shi Dongdong first.

As soon as he returned to the ward of the respiratory department, Qiao Hao heard roars in the corridor.Looking over, Molly was surrounded by a crowd, and a man was furiously pointing at her and scolding her.

"How do you do things! All good patients will disappear! Don't you know that he can't go out? You are also a doctor? If there is anything wrong with Xiao Ning, I will kill you first!" The man's face was full of dark circles Red, and the blue veins at the base of his neck are also popping out, it is none other than An Ning's father.

And An Ning's mother was full of anxiety, but she still held her husband, trying to calm him down.

But the man pushed her away, furious, "Who am I working all night for? Who are you afraid to sleep at night for? I'm afraid that something will happen if he can't breathe! He is our only child!"

"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I'm sorry," Molly's eyes were already red, "he told me that he would come up after walking down the stairs. I saw that he was in good spirits and wanted to go out, so... I agreed to him... "

"Just let him go if he says anything! He also said that he doesn't want to be treated anymore. Do you dare to let him out of the hospital!"

"Father, don't talk about it, maybe Xiao Ning really just went out for a walk, and it hasn't been long..." An Ning's mother said, tears fell, "It's all my fault, if I didn't have a backache, I would die number, he won’t go out by himself.”

"When did An Ning leave?" Qiao Hao walked over and asked Molly directly.He knew very well that when a patient like An Ning ran away, things could be big or small, and a negligence or accident might be an irreversible result.

"Not long after your ward round, I didn't even check the time..." Molly replied in a low voice, she had completely lost her usual cheerful look, and she was probably intimidated by An Ning's father's roar.

"That's almost two hours." Qiao Hao frowned. He knew that the director had a rest that day, and several doctors had gone to the outpatient clinic. He just had a rest after the night shift, and there were only Molly and another intern in the inpatient department. Now, they are really inexperienced, so they let An Ning, who has paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia and may be life-threatening at any time, go out alone.

It is indeed unimaginable that something will go wrong.

Qiao Hao's heart couldn't help becoming tense, he didn't pay much attention to An Ning's strangeness during the rounds.The man just smiled and told him that he slept well at night, that his breathing was not uncomfortable, and reassured him that he would go back to get a good sleep after get off work...

"Have you looked for the garden downstairs?" Qiao Hao asked.

"As soon as I said he went down by himself, I went to look for it. I searched twice!" An Ning's father said loudly. Although he was answering Qiao Hao, his eyes were looking at Molly, as if he could swallow her, as if he All the suffering was caused by this girl.

"Where's the guard? Did the guard ask? Did you leave the hospital?" Qiao Hao couldn't directly criticize his attitude towards Molly, and the only priority at this time was to find peace.

"The guard said that people in hospital gowns come in and out of the hospital every day, and he is not responsible for registration! You grandsons only know how to collect money! The disease can't be cured, and when you have to take responsibility, you push it all away. -"

The man continued to scold, but was held back by the woman beside her. She wiped away her tears and looked at Qiao Hao helplessly, "Doctor Qiao, to tell you the truth, I am really worried about Xiao Ning. God also told us that if we die... I'm really afraid that he will..."

"No." Qiao Hao said firmly, "His classmates just came to see him yesterday, and he smiled so happily. Auntie, don't think about it, let's stop wasting time here now, everyone will look for it. Molly and Xiao Liu, look for each floor, Auntie, you go to the garden downstairs to guard, maybe he will go there, Dad An Ning, let's go outside the hospital to look for each other, Xiao Ning is a sensible child, he will definitely not To do something out of the ordinary, he probably just wanted too much to get out and see."

Qiao Hao's words were so calm and forceful that even An Ning's father didn't say anything, and ran to the corridor without saying a word.

Everyone moved out one after another, and Qiao Hao also ran out after An Ning's father.

The man over half a century old couldn't wait to take the elevator, and when Qiao Hao ran down the next floor to catch up with him, he was already panting slightly.

"Uncle, when you get out of the hospital, go to the left. There is a small flower bed across the road. Maybe he will be there. I will look for it on the right. If you see him, call the nurse's station to report his safety, so that Auntie can go to bed early." Don't worry, you should also pay attention to safety." Qiao Hao said to An Ning's father while running downstairs.

An Ning's father ignored him and only cared about his own feet, which was a kind of acquiescence to his words.

After leaving the gate of the hospital, Qiao Hao headed south all the way. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and there were not many cars and people on the road.Qiao Hao stretched his neck, looking around while running, he could already feel the sweat dripping from his forehead.

The end of the hospital road was approaching, and there was no sign of the boy in the hospital gown at all.

Qiao Hao forced himself to calm down. He stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, bent down and put his hands on his knees to catch his breath.His body stopped, but his mind didn't dare to stop. For a moment, a thought crossed his mind - maybe An Ning went back to his school, he envied his classmates so much, maybe he just wanted to go back and see them.

Qiao Hao immediately stopped a taxi coming by the side of the road. In desperation, he clearly remembered the high school An Ning attended. The students who came to see him the day before were all wearing the school uniforms of No. [-] Middle School.

The school was not too far from the hospital, and the taxi only drove for less than 5 minutes.

Qiao Hao called Molly in the car, asked her to find out what class An Ning was in, and comforted her before hanging up the phone.

The girl's voice was trembling, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, he only hoped that his intuition was correct.

As soon as the school arrived, Qiao Hao almost jumped out of the car.

Just as he rushed to the security guard at the school gate to ask about the situation, he saw two people slowly walking out from the small shop opposite the school.The distance prevented him from seeing the faces of the two of them clearly, but it was true that they were both wearing hospital gowns.

Qiao Hao subconsciously waved his hand at the school security guard who was waiting for him to speak, his eyes were fixed on the two people who had already walked down the sidewalk on the other side of the road, they were obviously planning to take a taxi.

And, soon, they also saw Qiao Hao.

"An Ning! — Shi Dongdong!" Qiao Hao shouted at them.
