Chapter 53 Birthday in a week

Countless friends and doctors told Chi Yucheng that his daughter was hopeless.

He and his wife didn't believe it.

He withdrew from the company that was on the rise in partnership with others, took the shares sold at a low price, looked for a famous doctor, and treated his daughter.

I have seen well-known domestic hospitals and well-known doctors, so I went to foreign hospitals to find foreign doctors.

The treatments on the market are useless, so he looks for a treatment that is still in the experimental stage, even if the cost of the treatment wipes out his savings.

After eight years of tossing, my daughter is ten years old, and she is still lying on the hospital bed, dying.

And his wife is now living in a mental hospital called Nanshan Sanatorium.

On that night three years ago, the last hoped-for therapy failed.

After comforting the daughter, on the way home, the wife suddenly said: "Hey, I heard that there is a good restaurant here, let's go and eat!"

He was surprised because his wife was very happy.

His wife was beaming with joy: "Xiaoyu's birthday is next week. If that restaurant is delicious, we'll have a table of birthday wine there! Invite your friends, my friends, to have wine!"

He looked at the snow falling outside the car window. It was winter, and Xiaoyu's birthday was in summer.

The day when Xiaoyu became ill was a week before her birthday.He was sorting out the business plan in the company, and suddenly received a call from his wife, who hurriedly called him to the hospital.

He thought it was just a small, summer flu or something, and if he went to the hospital to prescribe some medicine and drink water for a few days at most, his daughter would recover and would not miss her birthday in a week.

The daughter has never left the hospital bed since.

Facing his wife's words, he didn't know what he was thinking at the time. Maybe he immediately refuted his wife, and her spirit would not deteriorate step by step.

It was probably because he was also a little abnormal at the time, and he also wanted to escape the reality that his daughter was numbered, until five years ago when her daughter was still healthy, before her two-year-old birthday.

He turned the steering wheel and went to the restaurant with his wife.

My wife ordered all the dishes on the menu, tried them one by one, commented, and recorded them in the memo on the phone.

Looking at his wife's smiling face that he hadn't seen for many years, he was a little confused.

He didn't debunk this beautiful fantasy. He thought that when his wife came home and saw the empty house without his daughter, he would recover.

After arriving home, the wife really went all over the house looking for her daughter.

I couldn't find it anywhere, and my wife slapped her head: "Oh, look at my memory, Xiaoyu threw it to my mother!"

From then on, my wife often talked about going to her mother's house to bring Xiaoyu back, and she just talked about it every time.

They went to the restaurant, to the amusement park, to the dollhouse, to the cake shop...to get ready for her daughter's birthday, which will always be a week away.

The daughter's small room is full of toys, restaurant menus, amusement park brochures, cake shop brochures...

At first, he didn't know how to tell his wife that their daughter had been in the hospital for five years.

Then, when he saw his wife's bright and sincere smile, and saw his wife's thin body in the past five years change back to plump, he couldn't bear to say anything.

One time, he hinted carefully: "You haven't been to the hospital to see Xiaoyu for a long time."

His wife was surprised and looked at him with terrified eyes: "What hospital? Who has entered the hospital?"

The eyes of my wife at that time were the eyes that had been sucked away by those instruments and knives in the hospital with my daughter in the past five years.

He couldn't speak.

When the mother-in-law found out that his wife was mentally ill, three months had passed, and the mother-in-law dragged her to see a psychiatrist for treatment. Finally, the mother-in-law, who was in poor health, accompanied her into a nursing home.

A year ago, his mother-in-law passed away, and he went to a nursing home to meet his wife once, who was knitting a sweater for his daughter, who was going to make it a birthday present for her daughter in a week.

He came back from the nursing home feeling envious.

Envious of being in the wife's world, the daughter is at her parents' house, and her birthday is a week away.Instead of being in the hospital, maybe today will be the death day next year.

The daughter's body is getting weaker and weaker, she can't sit up, can't show him crayon drawings, can't hold his hand and refuse to let go, can't call him daddy sweetly.

The deposit bottomed out, the house was sold, and his parents took out the coffin book.

Last month, the coffin ran out, and the parents sold the house they lived in to pay the final medical bills.

The cost of the ward is high, and the daughter relies on huge and terrifying equipment and expensive imported medicines to maintain her life. The last medical expenses will be used up in a week.

Another week.

With the last of his money, he reserved a small cake for his daughter and bought a small doll.

It's not his daughter's birthday in a week, but it will be his and his daughter's.

The company that was previously partnered with a friend has now been acquired by an Internet giant and has a bright future.

He went to a friend's house to borrow some money, but failed to enter the gate of the community and was stopped by security.

A small and medium-sized company took a fancy to him and asked him to go to work, but his salary was not enough to support his daughter's medical expenses, so he refused.

A headhunter said that he would come to him after his daughter was dead. He pressed her to the ground and slapped her on the mouth.

The headhunter called the police, and the police arrested him. He was in a panic because he couldn't make it to his daughter's birthday a week later.

Jiang Feihong rescued him, the headhunter no longer pursued him, and he escaped successfully.

He didn't understand why Jiang Feihong, a real estate tycoon, would save such a nobody like him.

He thanked Jiang Feihong and said to Jiang Feihong: "No matter what you want me to do, I'm afraid I can't do it. I will leave with my daughter in a week."

Jiang Feihong waved his hands and told him: "A few weeks ago, I was lying on the hospital bed like your daughter, half dead and half alive. My son was already planning how to reorganize the company after I died, but I came back to life."

Because of eight years of hope and disappointment, his heart has long been numb, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Jiang Feihong's words.

Jiang Feihong said bluntly: "Someone can save your daughter."

He knelt in front of Jiang Feihong.He didn't think about what Jiang Feihong said was true or not, he only knew that Jiang Feihong said his daughter was still alive.

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe. He wants to believe that his daughter can still get well, and can still jump and make noise.

"Your ability is good, and your luck is just right, so fate chose you. I think you are willing to pay any price. I shouldn't have said these things, alas, when I get old, I will become nagging."

He followed Jiang Feihong to a small city, and was handed over to Jiang Feihong's granddaughter, Jiang Ruoying. Jiang Ruoying took him to a middle school. In the office opposite the school, he met a girl who was less than 1.5 meters tall.

The girl asked him some questions and it was obvious that he passed.

But the girl told him that he had to go through another person's selection.

The girl said: "Through the last procedure, your daughter's illness will be cured soon."

He anxiously talked about his daughter's condition and wanted to provide a little help.The girl interrupted him, telling him not to worry about it.

He waited anxiously for two days at the hotel arranged by the girl, and finally got the news.

The final procedure is tonight.
