“You are consultant Ding, right? I am Sun Lanying’s attending doctor, Chen Donglai. I’ve heard a lot about you. How do you do!”
Chen Donglai enthusiastically reached out to shake Ding Ning’s hand with a greasy smile on his face.
Consultant? Ding Ning was stunned and then realized that he forgot that he had promised Executive Zhou to hold the post of consultant of Changjiang Hospital. It seemed that the old fox had publicized it for fear that he would repent.
“Doctor Chen, Executive Zhou has told you, right? This patient is a relative of mine, and I have to trouble you to do me a favor.”
Ding Ning said to Chen Donglai politely.
“Hey, we are colleagues. It’s no big deal. If you told you earlier that Sun Lanying is your relative, when the two girls asked me to change a ward yesterday, I would have directly handled it.”
Chen Donglai showed Huanhuan and Lele an apologetic smile with a little embarrassment, and explained to Ding Ning, “Consultant Ding, you know that according to the hospital’s normal practice, we will always leave some wards for those special people. I didn’t intend to be personal. ”
Ding Ning could understand it. Although he did not like to divide people into various grades and ranks, it was undeniable that there were inevitably some privileged classes in every era under every social system. That was why he was so certain that there must be reserved wards in the hospital.
It was a senior officials inpatient ward on the 13th floor, the room where Shen Muqing once lived.
He didn’t know what Executive Zhou told Chen Donglai. Chen Donglai helped them handle everything with great consideration, and his enthusiasm made Ding Ning feel a little embarrassed.
It made the sisters who got used to be despised by others feel proud and dependent on Ding Ning. They stared at Ding Ning with increasing passion in their eyes.
After sending Chen Donglai who was over-enthusiastic away, Ding Ning began to make a diagnosis for Sun Lanying.
Seeing the cancer cells in the stereoscopic image have spread to the whole body, Ding Ning was disheartened. Sun Lanying had now reached the advanced stage of liver cancer. Even he was unable to save her.
The sisters desperately raised money and placed all their hope on the surgical treatment, but didn’t know that this was a kind of profit-making strategy of the hospital. It was impossible to cure the patients with liver cancer in the advanced stage with operations. Even if the patients had operations, they could only stay alive for ten days or half of a month.
Ding Ning just didn’t want to tell the sisters who have been tortured by reality about this cruel fact. Looking at their eyes filled with anticipation, Ding Ning felt so helpless for the first time.
He was not skilled enough. Although in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, there was no incurable disease, with his current medical skills, he could do nothing about Sun Lanying’s illness. The only thing he could do was to relieve her pain and let her go in peace.
The sisters were extremely intelligent women. Seeing Ding Ning’s sad eyes, they had already understood that their mother couldn’t be cured. Lele began to sob in a low voice, while Huanhuan bit her lips with tears spinning in her eyes but restrained herself from bursting out weeping.
“Sorry, I’m so incapable. Aunt’s cancer cells have spread to the whole body. I can’t save her, but only alleviate her pain and make her stay alive for three months.”
Ding Ning bowed his head with guilt and felt that he was so incapable for the first time. Disappointing the expectations of two sisters made him heavy-laden.
“Brother, I don’t blame you. It’s good enough that you can alleviate mother’s pain.”
Seeing Ding Ning’s sad look, Huanhuan whose eyes were red softly pulled his hand and consoled him.
“Yeah, brother, since we knew that mother had liver cancer, we were mentally prepared. I actually hope that mother could free herself from pain earlier. At least she could stop suffering from the pain.”
Lele shed tears, but comforted Ding Ning with a forced smile.
Seeing their sensible look, Ding Ning suddenly felt his heart hurt. He knew about the pain suffered by liver cancer patients. It was not only physical, but the spiritual depression was also a cruel torture. Dying early actually meant that she could really free herself from pain.
However, knowing that it would end like this, Ye Huan and Ye Le still owed lots of debts and even sold themselves to fight for a slim chance of survival, which showed how filial girls they were.
He reached out to hold the tearful sisters in his arms and said as if he was swearing or promising, “Although I can’t save aunt’s life, I promise you that I will take care of you in a lifetime and never let you suffer any grievances.”
“Brother!”
The sisters couldn’t help but burst out weeping. They were unfortunate because their mother, the only family member of theirs, would soon leave them.
But they were also fortunate. When they were about to lose their closest family member, they had a brother who really loved them.
“Oh, I was wondering why you two are not willing to work in my bar. It turns out that you find a rich man. You not only change a senior officials inpatient ward, but also seem to have become his mistresses. Great. You are really capable.”
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and seven or eight men and women came in, headed by a middle-aged couple who were richly bedecked and looked like nouveau riches. The scornful words were said by the middle-aged woman with heavy makeup.
“Third aunt, what nonsense are you talking? This is our nominal brother.”
With her face blushing, Ye Le said with anger.
“Yeah, nominal brother, I understand!” The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and laughed. She deliberately stressed the word “nominal”.
Ye Huan stared at her coldly and said with a blank expression, “Shao Guli, watch your language. Don’t make slanderous accusations.”
“Ye Huan, how can you talk to your third aunt like that? Do you show any respect to your elders? You are so impolite without family education.”
With his face darkening, Ye Huan’s third uncle scolded her harshly.
“Exactly. Huanhuan, how can you talk to you third aunt like that? When your mother was sick and even could not afford to live in the hospital, the medical expenses were all paid by us. You are really ungrateful.”
A fat woman with a waist thicker than a bucket squeezed in, scolded Ye Huan with annoyance and said to Shao Guli with a greasy smile on her fat face, “Third aunt, these two hussies lost their father when they were children, and were raised by Lanying who is an actress. They don’t have any family education. Don’t be angry. It’s not worth getting mad at them.”
“Yeah, yeah, third aunt, don’t argue with these two hussies who had little family education. The actress Lan Ying is going to die right away. You are delicate. It’s not worth getting mad at them.”
Another thin man in his forties with a sneaky look also flattered Shao Guli with a greasy smile on his face.
Lele was so angry that her face turned red. With tears spinning in her eyes, she cursed, “Liu Guifang, Ye Hongwei, you can curse us, but what makes you think that you can curse our mother?”
“What? Aren’t your fourth uncle’s words right? Isn’t your mother an actress? When you father wanted to marry your mother, none of us agreed. But your father seemed to be possessed and must marry your mother who is a stormy petrel. She caused your father’s death and sent you to an art school. I think you will be the same as your mother in the future can only sell ourselves.”
Third uncle maliciously cursed with a sullen face.
“Shut up, Ye Hongjun. You are not human.”
Ye Huan was trembling with anger. Her towering chest was violently undulating, and her face was pale.
“Bullshit, Ye Hongjun. Don’t think that I don’t know what you guys are after. Failing to take our house, you want my sister and me to sell ourselves in your bar and make money for you. You are really a heartless beast and scum.”
Ye Le even bit her lips until they bled, cursing angrily.
“You are seeking death!”
Ye Hongjun became angry from embarrassment, and raised his hand to slap Ye Le.
“They are my sister, and no one is qualified to slap them.”
No one could see how Ding Ning appeared in front of Ye Le from so far away. They only felt things became blurred in front of them, and Ding Ning’s tall figure stood in front of Ye Le. He grabbed Ye Hongjun’s wrist with murderous intent on his face, which made the temperature in the entire ward drop dramatically.
“You… you let me go!”
Ye Hongjun trembled all over, watching Ding Ning’s eyes without human emotions. His heart felt chill, his face turned pale, and the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down, because Ding Ning’s hand seemed to have magical power and made him numb all over and even unable to move.
“Bastard, let go, let go of my husband…”
Shao Guli found that Ye Hongjun’s expression was weird, and realized that something went wrong. She toughly picked up her Hermès bag and smashed Ding Ning’s head with it.
“Get away from me, coquettish fox!”
Ding Ning gave her a hard look, and the murderous intent which seemed like material shrouded Shao Gu Li. She was so frightened that she felt her legs went weak and fell to the ground, exclaimed “God” and even wetted her pants.
Ding Ning was really angry. He had never thought that the relatives of Ye Huan and Ye Le would be so shameless that they even insulted them with their mother.
Sun Lanying was a third-tier actress when she was young. Ding Ning didn’t know whether she had slept with superiors. However, she had always been loyal to her husband, didn’t remarry after her husband’s death and raised two daughters alone. Based on these, she was not likely to have slept with superiors. She was a woman who deserved respect.
Judging from the attitude of Ye Huan’s relatives to Shao Guli, the couple of Ye Hongjun and Shao Guli should live a better life among their relatives. Everyone followed their lead and flattered them as much as they could.
Ding Ning felt terrible that he couldn’t save Sun Lanying. At this moment, seeing her so-called relatives bully the two girls and even beat and scold them, how could he bear it? A blast of monstrous rage rose, and he really had the murderous intent at this moment.
“What are you doing? What do you intend to do?”
Ye Hongwei was as timid as a mouse. He wanted to stand out but retreated with fear and screamed fiercely after being glanced by Ding Ning’s murderous eyes.
“You cowards let the little bastard bully us. Go ahead quickly and save third brother.”
Liu Guifang, the fat woman, screamed at the tip of her throat and urged other relatives to save Ye Hongjun.
“Fuck, little bastard, let go of my third brother.”
“Brat, you are seeking death. Let go of my third uncle.”
“Which woman didn’t tie her pants and gave birth to you, such a little bastard. Let go of him.”
“You are seeking death by daring to bully my third uncle and frighten my third aunt. I’ll beat you to death.”
…
Provoked by Liu Guifang, the other few men immediately rushed over to Ding Ning in a threatening manner.
“What… what do you intend to do? If you dare to fight, I’ll call the police.”
Ye Huan and Ye Le were shivering with fear, but still stood bravely in front of Ding Ning.
“Get off the way. You two are so ungrateful. You help an outsider instead of your relatives.”
A young man with gold-rimmed glasses cursed with righteous indignation.
“You consider yourselves our relatives? Pooh, it makes me feel sick.”
Ye Le spat severely and cursed with a scornful face.
“Since you are not benevolent, don’t blame us for being ungracious.”
The men with glasses thought he had justice on his side. He grabbed Ye Le’s hair fiercely, and she was so scared that she screamed and retreated.
“Huanhuan, Lele, get off the way. Let me see what they could do to me.”
Ding Ning held Ye Hongjun and appeared in front of Ye Huan and Ye Le like a ghost. He gently lifted his legs, and the man with glasses flew out like a stringless kite.
