Chapter 434 I Will Never Talk Back
The doctor made a rough estimate and said, "Conservatively speaking, it's best to prepare around 100,000 yuan. We will also try our best to obtain some preferential policies."
"Okay, we'll arrange for hospitalization right away." Chen Zhuo said to Xie Baoping, "Mom, don't worry about the money. I have it. If you don't have it, what's the point of me earning so much money?"
"Yes, it can definitely be cured," Fan Xiaolin also said, "The gastroenterology department of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital is the best in the country. You must trust the doctors. You can't delay any longer. The longer you delay, the more time it will take."
Xie Baoping looked at Chen Zhuo, then at Fan Xiaolin, and sighed helplessly.
During this period, she was afraid of being hospitalized and spending money, so she kept taking Chinese medicine for conservative treatment.
But I don’t know whether the Chinese medicine doctor she found was unreliable, or her condition could not be delayed. The medicine was not taken well, and the situation became worse.
"I'm sorry, my daughter," Xie Baoping said with guilt, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Fan Xiaolin shook her head. "Don't worry too much. Just cooperate with the treatment and you will definitely get better."
Fortunately, Xie Baoping was finally willing to be hospitalized for treatment, and Fan Xiaolin also greeted Wen Zhixia and asked her to help take care of her.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed and the weather has gradually turned cooler.
Before she knew it, Wen Zhixia was already 37 weeks pregnant.
That night, Wen Zhixia got off work early, passed by the inpatient department, and went to Xie Baoping's ward to see her.
Xie Baoping underwent chemotherapy recently and her hair has fallen out a little. She wears a warm hat, but she is in good spirits.
"Auntie, I'm here to see you." Wen Zhixia placed a box of snacks next to Xie Baoping's bed. "How are you feeling today?"
Xie Baoping hadn't seen Wen Zhixia for a long time, and she sat up on the bed feeling a little embarrassed.
She looked at Wen Zhixia's round belly and wanted to touch it, but she reached out her hand and then retracted it, rubbing it on the sheets embarrassedly.
Wen Zhixia remembered that when she first met Chen Zhuo, he also wanted to shake hands, but the moment he extended his hand, he retracted it and wiped it.
"Auntie, feel it," she said, pulling Xie Baoping's hand and placing it on her belly. "My baby is almost 40 weeks old. He's been kicking me these past few days. I'm getting so annoyed."
Xie Baoping choked up a bit. "When I was pregnant with Xiaozhuo, he kept kicking me. I was so scared, I thought he'd be a bad boy or have ADHD. But... Xiaozhuo is good in every way, except... he's too sensible and cares about me too much."
As she spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.
Wen Zhixia was deeply moved when she heard this.
She also heard a lot from Fan Xiaolin about how Chen Zhuo went to jail for protecting Xie Baoping and how he worked tirelessly to take on big orders in order to earn medical expenses.
"If I give birth to a baby, I don't care whether she is sensible or not," Wen Zhixia held Xie Baoping's hand. "I just want her to be healthy, grow up safely, and do what she loves."
"You and Mr. Fu are both great parents," Xie Baoping wiped away her tears. "Your child will definitely be happy."
Wen Zhixia nodded, "Auntie, Chen Zhuo will also be a great father. He has experienced so many bad things, but he can still return to an ordinary life, stay in Jincheng to work, and buy you a car and a house. He will definitely be a good father."
"We ordinary people don't dare to have too many extravagant expectations," Xie Baoping sighed. "As long as today is a little better than yesterday, that's the greatest happiness."
As we were chatting, Chen Zhuo came in.
"Zhi Xia?"
Wen Zhixia turned around and almost didn't recognize Chen Zhuo.
I don't know when he shaved his head, and he looks like a gentle and handsome little monk.
The moment he saw Wen Zhixia, he felt a little embarrassed and picked up the baseball cap on the table and put it on.
Xie Baoping explained to Wen Zhixia with a wry smile, "I was losing my hair during chemotherapy before, so I complained to him. But he went ahead and shaved his head, saying he'd go bald with me. Don't you think he's crazy?"
Wen Zhixia was shocked and moved.
Although Chen Zhuo is introverted and dull, he is indeed as Xie Baoping said, so kind that it makes people feel distressed.
"Luckily, I'm not in sales," Chen Zhuo said to Wen Zhixia awkwardly, "otherwise, all the customers would have been scared away."
"How could that be?" Wen Zhixia said, "You're so handsome. If you were in sales, you'd definitely be asked for your WeChat ID every day."
Chen Zhuo's face turned red instantly.
"You're such a grown man, but you still blush so easily," Xie Baoping sighed, "like a little kid."
Wen Zhixia explained a few more things about her hospitalization to Chen Zhuo. Seeing that it was getting late, she prepared to go back to the department to pack up and leave.
Chen Zhuo walked her downstairs.
"Zhixia, is there any chance that my mother's illness will be cured?" He was still worried before leaving. "Just tell me the truth."
"Of course." Wen Zhixia said without hesitation, "I've read Auntie's case. Although it can't be cured, it's entirely possible that it will become chronic. As long as she takes the medicine on time in the later stages, she can live a normal life. You should encourage her, talk to us more, and stop letting your imagination run wild."
After hearing this, Chen Zhuo's face, which had been a little sad, finally brightened up.
"Thank you, Zhixia. I will definitely repay you when my mother gets better."
"You're repaying me by being nice to Xiaolin," Wen Zhixia smiled. "Will you propose to your aunt after she finishes the surgery?"
Chen Zhuo was speechless for a moment.
Wen Zhixia didn't force him to answer.
Fu Ruoshi would come to pick her up in a while. She was about to leave when suddenly, several ambulances stopped at the entrance of the hospital's emergency room.
Immediately afterwards, medical staff carried a stretcher out of the car and hurried upstairs.
"Hurry! Send him to the burn unit! The patient's condition is urgent!!!"
Wen Zhixia heard these words the moment she brushed shoulders with the medical staff.
She immediately turned around and followed the medical staff, "I'm from the burn department, what happened to them?"
"Chemical plant explosion! Three dead and sixteen injured!"
Wen Zhixia had already seen the burnt half of the injured man's face, mixed with ammonia, which almost burned her eyes.
She immediately determined that the injured person needed immediate surgery.
However, at this time, several attending doctors had just finished get off work and would take at least an hour to be called back.
She was the only one in Cory who could do a flap transplant.
Wen Zhixia turned around and ran to the locker room without even thinking.
"Xiaoya, help me prepare the fetal heart rate monitoring electrodes."
"Manni, have the circulating nurse report fetal movement every half hour."
"Call Director Wu and have her come to the operating room within half an hour."
Wen Zhixia gave instructions as she ran towards the locker room.
Burn surgery is a race against time and cannot be delayed even for a moment.
However, she also knew that she was now 37 weeks pregnant and if she was not careful, she would have a miscarriage and even delay the treatment of the injured.
She cannot stand for more than three hours or it will be dangerous.
"Hello, Fu Ruoshi, I have to perform an emergency surgery now," Wen Zhixia dialed the number. "I know you're angry, but the situation is really urgent. Please wait for me in the burn department. After I finish the surgery, I won't talk back no matter how you scold me."
