passenger

Qiao Hao sat at the door of the emergency ward, staring blankly at his feet.When he chased out of the hotel in the morning, he didn't have time to change his shoes, so he was still wearing the hotel's woven slippers.

He hasn't recovered from the palpitations yet, so he doesn't care about his embarrassment at this time.

Finally someone came out of the ward, it was Chen Zhi.

"The doctor gave him painkillers and sedatives, and he is sleeping now."

Qiao Hao nodded reluctantly. Not long ago, Shi Dongdong was still lying on top of him, and when he got into the car, he was so painful that he lost consciousness.

Qiao Hao looked at the back of his left hand, there were several bruises on it, which were scratched by the man in extreme pain.

"He might not wake up for a while." Seeing that Qiao Hao didn't respond, Chen Zhi added.

"Why are you there? Or did you find us in the first place?" Qiao Hao came back to his senses and asked blankly.

"He's a patient, you shouldn't have taken him so far." Chen Zhi sat down, also seemed very tired.

"You've been following him?" Qiao Hao was suddenly a little annoyed. At that time, he called Chen Zhi, and the other party clearly replied that he hadn't found Shi Dongdong.

"We also searched for a long time until you brought him home." Chen Zhi confessed.

"So you're following me!?" Qiao Hao became even more angry, clenching his fists.

"You should be considerate of a father's feelings. Moreover, you are not being followed. We just contacted the security guard downstairs in your house and let us know when there is news..."

"That's enough!" Qiao Hao spat in a low voice.

"Did he have many seizures these days?" Chen Zhi didn't care about Qiao Hao's reaction, and only asked him about Shi Dongdong's condition.

Qiao Hao inserted his hands into his hair, and whenever Shi Dongdong was mentioned, he felt uncomfortable.During the few days they were together, he didn't notice any abnormality in Shi Dongdong at all. He thought that when he was with him, Shi Dongdong's mood improved, so his condition also eased.Thinking about it now, he wondered if that person was taking Fenbid behind his back every day.

"I don't know..." Qiao Hao became more and more frustrated as he thought about it, "You should have taken him away when you knew he was in my house."

"Mr. Shi really wanted this, and even went to your house."

Qiao Hao raised his head in shock.

"That was the second day after he came to your house. You were at work that morning. Mr. Shi went to pick him up in person and wanted him to go back to the hospital for treatment...but he said he had to finish the concert."

It turned out that there were still things that he didn't know about. Qiao Hao deeply admired Shi Dongdong, but he didn't reveal it at all.

"So, your sudden appearance today was just an appointment with you to pick him up, isn't it?" Qiao Hao sighed deeply.

Chen Zhi remained silent and did not answer.

"Very good, I thought Raiders from Heaven..." Qiao Hao laughed at himself.

He suddenly felt that from the beginning to the end, what an inconspicuous character he was, Shi Dongdong didn't need to tell him the truth about anything, his illness, his whereabouts, his agreement with his father, and he just accompanied him to see After a long-awaited concert, he could leave without any farewell after fulfilling his wish. Of course, he gave a dreamy kiss before leaving.

Finally, Qiao Hao stood up, it was time for the extras to leave, and he thought that if he rushed back now, he might be able to make up for today's middle shift.

"Are you leaving?" Chen Zhi asked behind him.

"It's useless for me to stay here, you take good care of him." Qiao Hao smiled with difficulty.

"He might want to see you when he wakes up..." Chen Zhi hesitated.

"No, I'm not that important." Qiao Hao said coldly, "Besides, I'm busy too."

Qiao Hao rushed back to the hotel, took cars and changed buses all the way, and finally rushed back to the hospital at noon.

Not wanting to let himself have the slightest chance to breathe, as soon as he arrived at the hospital, Qiao Hao ran to the duty room and changed into his work clothes.In fact, he was already ten minutes late.

Just as he was about to take the initiative to go to the director's office to apologize, the beeper in the room rang.

"Rescue bed 21! Come and help! Rescue bed 21! Come—"

Qiao Hao rushed out, bed 21 was the boy named An Ning.

The patient was directly pushed into the ICU. The rescue lasted for more than two hours. Qiao Hao never expected that An Ning's condition would deteriorate so quickly after only seeing him for two days.

For two days, he had been in a lethargic sleep, but the beating of his heart became weaker and weaker.

During the rescue, four boxes of epinephrine and atropine were pushed in, and finally electric shock and defibrillation were used.

Qiao Hao felt that when he held the electrode plate with his hand and watched the young body being sucked up and down one after another, he felt as if he had fallen into an invisible abyss.

The end of the darkness may be the eternal sound of the ECG monitor.

Fortunately, the tenacious child survived and had an independent heartbeat again. Although it was not strong enough, it was regular and firm.

When Qiao Hao walked out of the emergency room, he only saw the couple sitting at the door with a dull expression, so numb that they didn't recover when they saw him come out.

It's just that Qiao Hao didn't have the strength to speak anymore, and finally when the director came out, he said, "The child is fine."

Then, Qiao Hao heard An Ning's parents sobbing very low.

Very low but trembling atrium.

Qiao Hao hid in the duty room and buried his head in his arms.

When rescuing An Ning, for a moment, he suddenly saw the unconscious person on the hospital bed as Shi Dongdong.

Will there be a day when Shi Dongdong will lie in front of him like this?

In the morning, he escaped from that hospital not only because he was angry, but also because he was afraid.

He had never faced Shi Dongdong's illness squarely, until this time when he had an attack, he fell in front of him so real, suddenly, and in pain... He is a doctor, and he has experienced many life and death, but he has never really faced it. Over the departure of their loved ones.

What Shi Dongdong got was cancer, brain cancer.Whether it is early or late, ordinary family members do not understand the cure rate and survival rate, but he does not understand it.Even if Shi Dongdong can get the best treatment, he will never live like a normal person again, he will leave before him, maybe one day, he will just lie in front of him like tranquility.

Qiao Hao felt terrified of that helplessness, the helplessness that couldn't be brought back to his consciousness no matter how much he shouted.

So, he fled impotently, lying to himself that I was too angry.

The door of the duty room was pushed open, fresh air came in, and someone yelled "Mr. Qiao".

Qiao Hao immediately stood up from the ground, not wanting to be found cowardly.

"Mr. Qiao, are you exhausted?" The person who came in was Molly, who saw that Qiao Hao was slumped on the ground before, and her voice softened.

Qiao Hao smiled and sat back at the table pretending nothing happened.

"I wanted to ask you how the concert was going. I think you were also frightened by An Ning?" Molly raised her eyebrows, "He is really pitiful, it's been so hard to drag on like this."

"Don't talk nonsense, after this time, his condition will get better and better after he stabilizes." Qiao Hao glared at her, shouldn't a doctor be more optimistic?

"Well..." Molly was very obedient and tried her best to respond to Qiao Hao, "You are right, it will get better and better..."

"Comfort his parents. During this time, An Ning may still be under observation in the ICU. His family members will be very worried if they can't get in."

"Hmm!" The young girl nodded heavily.

Qiao Hao sighed, picked up the notebook and prepared to go to the ward to have a look.

Before going out, Molly stopped him suddenly, "Mr. Qiao,...they said that you went to the concert with your girlfriend this time, is it true?"

"Go to your class well, don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Hao frowned, and dropped a sentence impatiently.

The girl who got the answer cowardly kept silent, but the corners of her mouth bent inadvertently.

Because of the leave he had asked for before, Qiao Hao took the initiative to work overtime for two days.

For several days in a row, he lived in the hospital. Corey was busy during this period, and several new batches of patients were admitted, so he hardly had a moment to spare when working.

An Ning is still in the ICU, but her condition has stabilized a lot.

At noon that day, Qiao Hao went in to check his indicators to decide whether to ask for instructions to transfer back to the general ward.

Lying alone on the hospital bed surrounded by machines, the young man looked extremely weak, but when he saw Qiao Hao coming in, he tried his best to show a good spirit and leaned his body upwards.

"How was it? How many songs did you listen to today?" Qiao Hao walked in, trying to sound relaxed.

"I've listened to it a lot. Sister Molly copied the song for me today. She said it was a song on your computer." An Ning's voice was very soft, and she was a little out of breath when she spoke a long sentence.

"Songs in my computer?" Qiao Hao thought of those Faye Wong in his computer.

"Yeah, this is the first time I've heard Faye Wong's song, I've never heard it before, it's really classic..." An Ning coughed as she said.

Qiao Hao hurriedly went to take pictures of him, "We still need to rest more, don't listen for too long."

"Dr. Qiao, I think...cough...I have recovered a lot, I think, I want to transfer back to the general ward."

"Don't worry, just stabilize again." Qiao Hao smiled at him, and checked the heart rate on the monitor by the way, it was still a little fast.

"I can control myself... It's too expensive to live here..." the boy said, his voice lowered.

"This is not something you should worry about. Your task is to take good care of your body."

"I know I will, but my parents...they have worked so hard...I know my mother spent the nights sitting on the bench outside."

"So, you have to be good and don't think so much." Qiao Hao patted the young man's quilt lightly, feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Dr. Qiao, my illness is not going to get better, right? Our family has no money to do surgery for me. I know, it's just a waste of money to delay like this... Also, I want to die at home, I don't want to die Here... Last time, I really felt like I was leaving..." An Ning said a little excitedly, and the monitor beside her also sounded a series of alarms of rapid heart rate.

Qiao Hao was terrified when he heard it, and went straight forward to gently hug the panting boy, hugging him like a big brother, while patting his back to calm him down.

"Don't think about it, we are all exhausted to save you, don't give up so easily, otherwise, let alone your parents, you can't even justify us here." Qiao Hao said in the boy's ear until he felt the other side Nodded lightly on his shoulder.

The sound of the instrument returned to normal, Qiao Hao sighed inwardly, and said a few words of comfort before finally walking out of the ICU.

As soon as he went out, the person standing in the corridor stopped him.

"Qiao Hao..."

Qiao Hao raised his head, his heart tensed up, the person in front of him was actually Shi Dongdong.

"What's wrong with An Ning?" Shi Dongdong's face was pale, but he asked about other people's illness.

"It's nothing, it's just a little unstable, stay inside and observe." Qiao Hao glanced at the person in front of him, but his tone couldn't help being stiff.Shi Dongdong was wearing casual clothes, and the hat on his head was the same as when they went to the concert. He seemed to have recovered a lot, but he was still leaning against the wall when he was talking to him.

"He doesn't look very good..." Shi Dongdong glanced at the ICU number plate.

"What do you want to see me for?" Qiao Hao glanced at his watch and asked coldly.

"I came here to say I'm sorry...and thank you." Shi Dongdong had an apology on his face.

"Thank you, we've already kissed, why are we so unfamiliar." Qiao Hao touched Shi Dongdong's face with his hand on purpose.

Shi Dongdong subconsciously turned to the side, his brows furrowed slightly, and he spoke again after a while, "I made an appointment to listen to the second scene together...I'm sorry, I broke the appointment."

"Really? I thought you were just going to Chen Zhi to ask him to help us get tickets." Qiao Hao smiled, staring at Shi Dongdong to see how he answered.

"I didn't know he was guarding outside the hotel so early, I was..."

"Did you want to just leave?" Qiao Hao couldn't help raising his voice, the volume made the passing family members of the patients turn their heads and look at them.

Shi Dongdong lowered his head, speechless.

Qiao Hao didn't know how to continue their conversation, so he hurriedly brushed Shi Dongdong's shoulder and said, "Sorry, I'm still at work."

"Qiao Hao..." Shi Dongdong actually stopped him, "I will be admitted to the oncology department here tomorrow, and I promise my dad to cooperate with the treatment."

"Really?" Qiao Hao was surprised for a moment, but then he just said lightly, "Then congratulations."

When leaving Shi Dongdong behind, Qiao Hao felt a little annoyed.

After all, I was clumsy in front of him, and he was finally willing to accept the treatment. Maybe the treatment itself was more tormenting than the illness, but I congratulated him.
