Even the whole world is trying to match us up

Chapter 310 if3
"Hello, doctor, may I ask how my mother is doing now?"

The blooming cherry blossoms outside the window swayed in the wind. Natsume Kiyohame, who came to the attending physician's office, couldn't wait to ask questions before he even sat down.

The doctor sitting in the round chair had very little hair on his head, which reflected the glow of the setting sun.

He looks as professional as the history teacher in school.

"Um……"

The attending doctor turned around in his chair and was about to explain the situation in detail when he saw a handsome young man with a hint of struggle in his eyes.

He was worried that Natsume Kiyohame didn't have enough ability to withstand the reality.

After all, you are so young and have to go through such things.

Therefore, for a period of time afterwards, the attending physician, who looked very professional, didn't even blink, like a fish sleeping with its eyes open.

The room was very quiet, and one could faintly hear the rustling of branches and leaves in the wind.

But this doesn’t explain the answer from the side…

"Seriously?"

Natsume Qingyu had just sat down, and being good at observing people's expressions, he immediately read important information from the doctor's eyes.

"Your mother has an extremely rare disease. The symptoms are similar to ALS. All the organs in the body will slowly fail together, but it is different..." The doctor's hands kept gesturing, but his eyes were not looking at him.

“Is it not curable?”

Before the doctor finished his nagging, Natsume Qingyu interrupted him with a completely unconvincing remark.

He cared more about this than understanding the more or less specific symptoms.

"It's hard to say. Like I just said, it's a rare case, and there are only a handful of such cases in the world. Our pharmaceutical progress is not fast at the moment, so I can't guarantee that when we develop a specific drug, the patient will still be... in the best treatment stage. So in the next period of time, you can choose to spend more time with your family." The attending physician spoke like a robot.

Even with such a tactful statement, the smart Natsume Kiyohame understood it.

Isn't it just saying over and over again that there are too few cases like this, we have no experience, so... we can't give a definite answer?
"So... it's the first time in the world? Will it be named after you or my mother?" Natsume Qingyu almost laughed.

He really didn't expect that there would be such a 'comic' day in his life.

When everything is going smoothly and everyone is happy, some unexpected things will happen.

It's true that when people are speechless, they can't help but laugh.

"No, it's not the first case in the world, so it won't be named after me or your mother." Faced with the ridicule of the patient's family, the attending physician did not get angry. He just pushed his glasses and continued.

"?!"

Natsume Qingyu widened her eyes slightly and stared at him quietly as if she saw hope.

"Based on my decades of experience working in this hospital in Tokyo, although such cases are rare, they are definitely not the first, which means that someone has experienced it before. In the medical field, no matter whether the patient survives or not, there will be relevant observation and treatment records. As long as we can find the record of the last treatment, maybe... who knows, we can change something..." The doctor looked at the boy in front of him and said gently, "So, until the last moment, we will not give up hope of saving every patient."

Upon learning that his mother still had hope of survival, Natsume Kiyohame even became happy for a moment.

But soon, he calmed down quickly because he realized something.

Ms. Hanada did not seem to have just been hospitalized, which meant that the medical records were still missing during this period.

Thinking of this, Xia Mu Qing Yu found it increasingly difficult to accept this cruel fact, and asked softly: "Excuse me, doctor, how long has my mother been in the hospital?"

"As a direct family member, you don't even know this?!" The uninformed doctor raised his eyebrows rarely, as if accusing the young man in front of him of only caring about studying and not even caring about his family.

The man's voice was slightly louder.

Outside the window, a few more cherry blossoms fell from the treetops, as if they were shaken off by the sound.

"She... didn't tell me." Natsume Qingyu clenched his fists slightly and responded with difficulty.

I even got a 'fake' plane ticket to fool him.

Of course, Natsume Qingyu did not say this out loud, but kept it in his heart.

"That's it..."

The doctor slowly understood what was going on, then he remembered the situation at that time, looked at him with some confusion, and asked, "Who was the girl who took her to check in?"

"A close relative with whom I am in regular contact."

Natsume Qingyu hesitated for a moment and did not say that the other person was his girlfriend, but said this.

after all……

The mother did not tell the truth to her "son", but told it to a girlfriend who was not yet married.

It's unbelievable to say the least!
It's incredible!
after all……

When Ms. Hanada first wanted to adopt a child, she preferred a girl rather than a boy.

Natsume Qingyu suddenly thought, could it be...?
Was this all destined from the beginning?
Even the whole world is trying to match us up?
So, my mother prefers Suzune Hatsukano to make it easier for her to integrate into the family?
He admitted that he and Suzune had been getting along very well lately and were very happy.

But when he thought that even his mother's emotions were destined to favor her, he felt inexplicably unhappy.

Is it true that many years of companionship cannot compare to the will of fate?
I just find it a little strange that my several inquiries are not as useful as one single question from my mother.

As for why Hatsukano Suzune, who had no blood relationship with her, could bring her mother to go through the formalities, Natsume Kiyohame knew the answer without even having to think about it.

She must have used some family privilege.

For a family of her social class, this should be easy to do, right?
Of course, Natsume Qingyu had no intention of blaming her.

Instead, I thought that she would do her best to treat Ms. Hanada, and I should be grateful to her.

Therefore, there was no need for him to point it out directly in front of the doctor.

However, at that moment, many complicated emotions flooded into his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"That's it, I understand."

The doctor didn't know what the boy was thinking, but he could still sense that he was sad.

In order to prevent this atmosphere from spreading further, he turned to answer the question the boy had just asked, "Your mother has been in the hospital for nearly half a year."

Didn't it start from the moment you left home?
Upon learning this, Natsume Qingyu asked in surprise: "During this period of time, doctor, you..."

"There is so much information in the archives that I haven't finished reading it. Maybe I will find it after a while." The man who had been in the world for many years naturally understood what he meant and took over the conversation before the boy finished speaking.

But he lied.

In fact, he had already finished reading through the pile of information in the archives of Tokyo Hospital.

But there was not a single clue.

You should know that this is one of the most advanced medical places in the country, and it has the most complete medical information in the country.

He couldn't help but have reason to doubt that such a situation could occur.

Maybe he remembered it wrongly.

The case I remember was not in Japan...

But in some corner of the world.

Can he really find it?
The attending physician was afraid that telling the boy such a cruel reality would affect his normal life in the future, so he told a white lie.

But he didn't expect that something would happen. The young man in front of him looked at him enthusiastically, "Can I help you?"

"Those are the patient's privacy, I'm afraid it's not a good idea..." The man was ashamed, he didn't want the boy to waste his time on this.

Finally, after a debate over saving his mother, the doctor gave in and agreed that Natsume Kiyohame could enter and exit the archives room, but he could not mess up the order.

As expected, if you agree to it the first time, there will be a second time.

The man sighed.

He was also confused, and he really didn't know whether he had done a good thing or a bad thing. After getting permission, Natsume Qingyu was not idle either.

He did not have the habit of procrastinating and did not leave things to the next day. Instead, he immediately went to the archives room to look up the cases.

There is really a lot of information. Even if Natsume Qingyu works 24 hours a day, he can't calculate how long it will take to finish checking it.

This was also the first time he realized the weight of the phrase "time is life".

After all, who can predict what the future holds?
Therefore, he could only seize the time desperately.

Natsume Kiyohae, who hadn't even had dinner, didn't return home until very late.

When he left the hospital, he was dizzy and afraid that his mother would worry about him, so he did not go back to the ward to say goodbye.

I took a taxi home and looked out the window at the bustling city lights, which then faded into darkness behind me.

His tired feeling of getting off work came over him.

It hasn't happened for many years.

...Maybe, this is him.

Natsume Qingyu returned home. He didn't plan to sit idle and immediately called Master Miejue.

"Hello, teacher. Sorry to bother you."

"It's about English. Is there anything you don't understand?" Director Sakurai, who was interrupted during his rest, picked up the phone and heard the other party's voice without a trace of anger.

"Is such that……"

Natsume Kiyoha explained his family situation and asked for a long leave of absence from school.

"okay, I get it."

"But remember to study and don't fall behind."

"Otherwise, I will still punish you when we return to school."

On the phone, the usually extremely vicious woman did not say anything about Xia's mother and said this.

Because she knew that would only open the wound.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Sakurai."

Natsume Qingyu did not expect that the study leave would be approved so easily, and a tired smile appeared on his face.

"You're welcome. After all...even if I didn't agree, you wouldn't come to school." The woman on the phone also laughed.

"Haha, you are worthy of being Mr. Sakurai, who is known as the top fighting force in the school. You can see through it."

"Okay, stop laughing with the teacher. You're home alone, so remember to be nice to yourself."

"Ok."

beep.

The phone hangs up.

Natsume Kiyoha hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to ask for leave for Hatsukano Suzune.

But the message appeared in the phone, deleted, appeared, deleted...

It just can’t be sent out.

just thought of.

My mother favors her.

My words are no match for my mother's orders.

They can also work together to 'cheat' themselves.

But I have to do the opposite and easily choose to accept all of this.

This feeling of loneliness made him feel uncomfortable for some reason.

Yes.

I have done nothing wrong, so why should I apologize to her?
Natsume Qingyu threw his phone next to the pillow, glanced at the ball that was taking a nap at the foot of the bed, then glanced at the desk with the lamp on, and encouraged himself: "Okay, keep fighting."

Of course, for the following period of time, he did not go to school, let alone participate in club activities.

He became a completely different person.

Except in front of his mother, a smile never appeared on his face.

Now he doesn't have the time to care whether the service club with only Suzuine Hatsukano can continue to operate, or what she is doing in the activity room every day.

His daily life completely became a straight line, running back and forth between the hospital and home.

Looking for medical records in the hospital and taking care of my mother.

I also continued to search for information on the Internet when I got home.

If it weren't for the ball at home that needed to be fed and taken for walks, he would have wanted to live directly in the hospital.

Of course, he never told his mother about this.

Anyway, she will definitely object.

Rather than making her unhappy, it's easier to pretend nothing happened.

period.

After school or on weekends, Suzune Hatsukano would of course come to the hospital to visit Ms. Hanada.

However, at that time, Natsume Kiyohame was always staying in the archives room.

Therefore, they seldom have the chance to meet.

But by chance, he bumped into Hatsukano Suzune in the corridor.

The high frequency of consulting information and short sleep time made him see the world as a dream.

It wasn't until that clear voice sounded that he came to his senses a little.

"Do you still want to go to the archives? I've already looked through all the information there, and there's no such case at all."

"It's okay, I'll take another look."

Natsume Qingyu didn't know how she knew he was going to the archives room.

I don’t know why I responded like that.

Maybe he didn't know what else he could do if he couldn't do this.

Or, I don’t know whether I should still believe her.

"Thank you for not telling my mother about my leave." He thanked her when he passed by Suzune Hatsukano.

"Qingyu, what should I do in order for you to forgive me?" Chu Luye Suzune stepped forward and held his hand. There was a rare tremor in her cold tone and tears were flowing in her bright eyes.

The heavy atmosphere made the corridor even quieter for a moment.

"I'm not angry with you, I'm just quarreling with myself. I blame myself for not being important enough to let you confess everything to me." Natsume Qingyu gently pulled her little hands away.

"No, I didn't dare to tell you because I care about you too much!"

The girl reached out and grabbed him again, tears falling like cherry blossoms, "Please... please trust me again, okay?"
