Chapter 4460 Grandpa is gone
The issue of the child has reached a deadlock.

The child's family gradually became numb and even a little impatient with the child's condition.

The child came to the hospital alone.

Just like the child in front of me.

……

Such a young child...

Let him come alone, to face his own fantasies, his own fears…
His family couldn't relate.

……

Later on, some families were unwilling to pay this expense which seemed to have no end and no effect, so they stopped their children's treatment.

As a doctor, all she can do is try her best to communicate with the patient's family.

If the other party is determined...

She was helpless.

……

Her communication had its failures and successes.

She is willing to do her best every time for her patients.

……

The doctor asked the child to bring his parents along next time.

Just say that she was looking for them and she had something to tell them.

……

The child's parents came.

This time, the doctor asked the child to stay in the room alone.

She went to another room with the child's parents.

……

The child's parents were somewhat confused and excited.

They thought the child's problem was solved...

……

The doctor shook his head.

If the problem was really solved, why would she avoid telling the children?

……

The light in the child's parents' eyes dimmed instantly.

They became more and more confused.

Why did the doctor look for them?
They were a little angry.

They are very busy.

If it wasn't something urgent...

……

The doctor got straight to the point.

I directly asked the child’s parents why they haven’t picked up and dropped off the child recently?

Letting such a young child come to the hospital alone for treatment...

Don’t you think it’s too difficult for the child?
……

The child's parents looked at each other.

It was because of this...

……

They don't feel they have done anything wrong.

The kids have been here many times.

Completely capable of doing it myself.

If that’s the case, why do we have to mobilize so many people to come here every time?
……

The doctor looked at the child's parents.

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with what they said.

but……

Why did Lele come to the hospital?
Because of nightmares.

Because of nightmares, the child is always in a state of anxiety even during the day.

This is the state where you really need the company of your family.

The behavior of the child's parents...

It is simply letting the child fall into the vortex of nightmare.

Sit on the sidelines.

……

The child has been suffering from nightmares.

As a parent, even if you feel that you can't do anything, you can always provide companionship and encouragement.

But the child told her that his parents were very busy.

They didn't talk to him much.

They didn't like his mention of man-eating sheep.

Will be very angry.

They didn't ask him about his nightmares again.

And what did you talk to the doctor about when you went to the hospital...

The child's parents seemed to ignore the child's question.

……

The expressions of the child's parents became somewhat unnatural.

The doctor's tone was gentle, without any accusation.

But the meaning of the words is very clear.

The doctors felt they cared less about the children.

……

"…We are too busy…"

The child's mother murmured.

"We can't help with the child..."

"Didn't we ask him to come talk to the doctor?"

"Doctor, thank you for your concern."

……

"Doctor, has Lele's condition improved?" the child's father asked.

“Do we need to keep coming to the hospital?”

……

"Yes."

The child's mother nodded.

"It's been such a long time..."

"This cost so much..."

"It can't be that there is no effect at all, right?"

"Doctor, you also know the situation in our family."

"My child's father and I are both workers."

"It's not much money."

"This child is about to go to school, and there will be many places where we will need to spend money in the future..."

……

The doctor frowned slightly.

"Since you want him to get better soon, you should pay more attention to him."

……

"Don't we care about him yet?"

The child's mother spoke up for them, "Let him have enough to eat and clothes to wear."

"Let him see the doctor."

"Besides, isn't it the doctor's responsibility to cure him?"

"what can we do?"

"We have given him all the care he deserves."

“We’re not such cloying parents.”

“It’s a lot of verbal talk.”

"He is our child."

"How could we not care about him?"

The child’s mother thought the doctor’s words were strange and funny.

As an outsider, you actually accuse them as parents of not caring enough about their children?
If they don't care about the children, who else will?

That's their child.

……

Looking at the angry parents of the child, the doctor remained silent.

"…Just think of it as me being too talkative."

"I hope that next time at least one of you can come to the hospital with the child."

……

"We try our best."

This is what the child’s parents said in response to the doctor.

Unfortunately……

Their best effort was to never appear before the doctor again.

Every time after that, the child would come alone.

……

Although the doctor felt sorry for the child, he could do nothing.

How could she, an outsider, interfere in other people's family affairs?
What's more, it’s not that the child’s parents don’t care about their child, but that they don’t care about their child that much.

They may hope that their children can become independent as soon as possible.

……

The doctor was quite surprised when she received the call from the child.

This was also the first time the child called her.

This kid actually knows her phone number?
……

Later she found out that the child saw her phone number from the business card she gave to the child's parents.

The child called to change the time of his next visit to the hospital.

The child wants to return to his hometown in the countryside.

Because the child's grandfather passed away...

The child won't be able to come the day after tomorrow...

……

Hearing the cry in the child's voice, the doctor comforted the child in a gentle voice.

However, I felt increasingly dissatisfied that the child's parents actually let the child make the call himself.

Logically, this call should have been made by the child's parents.

The child said that he had to go back to attend his grandfather's funeral, and could not come at the agreed time, and wanted to change the meeting time...
That's how it should be, isn't it?
Instead of asking such a young child to explain that he wants to make another appointment because his beloved grandfather has passed away...

Wouldn’t that be too cruel?

No buffer time is given to the children.

Let the child clearly know the fact that his grandfather has left him...

……

The doctor told the child not to worry about coming to the hospital.

Wait until the child comes back from the countryside and call her.

They arrange a time to meet again.

……

The faint smile on the child's face disappeared after the phone call was hung up.

grandfather……

……

At first, when mom and dad told the child that grandpa had passed away, the child looked confused.

"Walk?"

"Where to go?"

"Did Grandpa go out to play?"

The child asked innocently and romantically.

Even a little envious.

He wants to go out and play, too.
