Chapter 25 Visiting the patient
At the Yanjing Third People's Hospital, Xiao Xiao stared at the large, glittering words on the building, somewhat lost in thought.

People were coming and going around him, in a hurry. Occasionally, someone would look at him strangely, wondering why he was standing there at the hospital door.

Xiao Xiao has never been a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but under the premise that he may have the ability to take care of this "other matter", he really can't just stand by and watch.

He was in a state of unrest.

Moreover, the girl's desperate and collapsed crying and her trembling thin back made him feel like a thorn in his throat.

He thought, he could still do something...

"Young man, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Xiao was a little confused. He blinked his dry eyes and the scene in front of him gradually became clear. It was a kind-faced old lady who was looking at him with some worry.

"...I'm fine." Xiao Xiao suddenly came back to his senses and was a little confused. He was stunned for a while before replying. After thinking about it, he added a little embarrassedly, "I was just daydreaming."

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay." The old lady didn't ask any more questions, just turned around and left with a smile.

"Thank you." Xiao Xiao's hands in his trouser pockets shrank slightly, and he looked at the old lady's profile and thanked her seriously.

Because of this accident, Xiao Xiao's mood suddenly brightened.

Pure kindness from others always makes him happy easily.

The next step was a little lighter.

……

All the students in the class know Lin Zhenzhen's ward number.

The day after Lin Zhenzhen was sent to the hospital, the class quickly organized representatives to visit her in the hospital.

But in the end, they just looked at the haggard faces of Lin's father and mother, at a loss.

Lin Zhenzhen didn't want to see anyone at all, except the doctor and her parents.

After several students who served as representatives came back, they were all in low spirits. They could hear Lin Zhenzhen crying hysterically and almost out of breath through the ward door. The corridor was obviously very noisy, but they could only hear the hoarse sighs and apologies of Lin's father and mother.

In this situation, they naturally would not be so tactless. They comforted Lin's father and mother with a few dry words, left the flowers and fruits they brought, and then took their own leave.

Later, several female classmates who were good friends with Lin Zhenzhen went to the hospital to visit the patient, but they were unable to even enter the ward.

After that, everyone consciously stopped visiting the hospital.

So as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Because every time someone went to visit the patient, it seemed to irritate Lin Zhenzhen and make her make a big fuss.

……

"Knock-knock-knock" After staring at the door of the ward for a while, Xiao Xiao knocked on the door with his fingers, his voice soft and gentle.

However, after repeating this several times, there was no response from inside the door.

Is he sleeping? Or is he out?

Xiao Xiao thought again, what would happen if he just pushed the door open like that?
Or should I ask a nurse?

……

"classmate?"

Xiao Xiao looked sideways and saw a haggard middle-aged woman with bloodshot eyes. She was holding a thermos in her hand. She had obviously just come back from fetching water. She was looking at him with some confusion, and then she suddenly realized, "Are you here to see Zhenzhen?"

Lin's mother was not able to react for a while because of Zhenzhen's resistance. Apart from the first few days, no one came to visit her. Moreover, she was exhausted during this period, so her reaction was inevitably a little slow.

When I suddenly saw someone appear at the door of my daughter's ward, my mind went blank and I didn't think of anything. I just asked subconsciously.

"Yes, Auntie, hello, I am Lin Zhenzhen's classmate, my name is Xiao Xiao."

"I happened to be here today on some business so I wanted to come and see Lin Zhenzhen."

"Oh, oh." Looking at the polite and gentle Xiao Xiao, Lin's mother responded a few times in a daze, and then the sadness between her brows became more intense, "Xiao Xiao, thank you for coming to see Zhenzhen."

"But Zhenzhen won't see guests." When she said this, the corners of Lin's mother's eyes turned red again. Her daughter had always been well-behaved and obedient, so why did she suffer this?
Thinking of Zhenzhen's increasingly thin figure and her dull, almost dead eyes, Lin's mother felt heartbroken.

Now the child’s father is trying to contact doctors abroad.

Since there was no solution at home, they went abroad.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up.

……

Xiao Xiao once thought about sneaking into the ward to talk to Lin Zhenzhen while Lin's father and mother were not around.

I was also a little worried that Lin Zhenzhen would make a scene.

Besides, he didn't know how long it would take him, and it would be difficult to explain if he was caught by Lin's father and mother.

Therefore, he decided to abandon the idea of ​​taking the "evil path".

Then, the only remaining method is to attack head-on.

"Auntie, I want to go in and see Lin Zhenzhen."

"So many days have passed, maybe..."

"No." Lin's mother refused fiercely, and then she realized that her attitude was a bit too tough. After all, the other party was Zhenzhen's classmate and she meant well.

The corners of Lin's mother's mouth curled up a little stiffly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao. But Zhenzhen really can't stand any stimulation."

Lin's mother was also afraid. At first, she thought that Zhenzhen might feel better if she saw the concern of her familiar friends and classmates. However, the result was completely contrary to her expectations.

Whenever someone came, Zhenzhen was like a little beast whose territory had been invaded. Even though she was weak, she kept waving her hands and screaming non-stop, driving away the outsiders in her eyes in an almost tragic way, refusing and even resisting the approach of others.

Every time someone came to visit her, Zhenzhen would struggle with all her might.

Father and Mother Lin were exhausted both physically and mentally, at a loss and distressed. Mother Lin could only hug her daughter tightly, and her eyes became wet again as she looked at her pale and lifeless daughter in her arms.

What kind of sin is this?
"Why are you standing at the door?" A dull and hoarse male voice sounded. It was Lin's father.

"What is this?" Father Lin looked past Mother Lin and saw Xiao Xiao standing at the door of his daughter's ward.

"This is Xiao Xiao, Zhen Zhen's classmate."

"I happened to be near here today, so I wanted to come and see Zhenzhen."

Mother Lin paused for a moment, then spoke again, her voice a little hoarse, "...But, you also know that Zhenzhen's condition is not suitable for others to visit."

"Hello, uncle." Xiao Xiao had never met Father Lin before, but looking at Father Lin at this moment, he knew that this man had definitely aged a lot during this period of time. His temples were already covered with gray, and his furrowed brows had left deep marks on his forehead. The corners of his eyes drooped, and his eyes were a little cloudy due to fatigue.

Xiao Xiao couldn't explain his feelings at the moment.

All I know is that they are a couple who are worried sick about their daughter.
