Chapter 370

Beijing People's Hospital,

Oncology Department,

Lobby,

Xu Hongdou kept pulling out tissues,

but found her tears could never be wiped clean,

At this moment,

Chen Nanxing was undergoing other related tests under the nurse's accompaniment,

and in Xu Hongdou's ears,

the attending doctor's words still echoed.

"Why didn't she come to the hospital earlier when she felt unwell?!"

"Do you know that pancreatic cancer is always terminal once diagnosed?!"

"Miss, this disease isn't something money or medicine can cure—even if you bought a needle worth 1.2 million, it wouldn't help, Miss…"

"Stop crying, Miss. Right now, she has only you—only you can help her…"

"We still can't confirm it; we need a biopsy sample. But you must prepare yourself for the worst…"

"By the way, notify her family as soon as possible—you can't care for her alone…"

"Specialized drugs?! Miss, not everything you read online is true—there's no specialized drug for pancreatic cancer, not yet…"

"If the patient is confirmed with pancreatic cancer, all we can do is try to extend her life…"

"I understand, Miss. Don't cry. I've already informed our senior professor of the patient's condition—he and I will monitor her closely…"

"Miss, the patient won't be leaving tonight. After the biopsy, she'll be admitted immediately. Go back quickly and pack some essentials to bring her…"

"Sister Nannan…"

Tears burst uncontrollably from her eyes,

Xu Hongdou trembled as she whispered hoarsely: "Sister Nannan, why is your life so cruel?!"

Xu Hongdou's sobs and trembling,

drew the attention of some people in the lobby,

but,

they merely glanced at Xu Hongdou silently, then returned to their own business.

This is the Oncology Department,

everyone who passes through or lingers here,

has likely experienced the same grief and despair as Xu Hongdou,

so,

everyone has already become numb,

all they can do,

is rush around the hospital every day,

using time and money to buy their loved ones a little more time.

She cried for a long while longer,

Xu Hongdou gripped the armrest beside the bench and slowly stood up,

but after taking just two steps,

Xu Hongdou lost all strength,

slumped sideways toward the floor,

fortunately,

a middle-aged nurse with quick reflexes rushed over and caught Xu Hongdou,

glanced at the imaging report bag in Xu Hongdou's hand,

the nurse understood immediately,

so she helped Xu Hongdou back onto the bench,

then said: "Miss, find someone to pick you up—you can't be alone like this, you're at risk."

Find someone to pick me up?

Xu Hongdou stared blankly at the nurse,

then instinctively opened her phone,

dialed Chen Nanxing's number,

after a moment,

the call connected,

Xu Hongdou spoke weakly and softly: "Sister Nannan, I'm at Beijing People's Hospital, Oncology Department. Can you come pick me up?"

"Sister Nannan?"

Hearing Xu Hongdou's voice,

Qin Feng's expression turned slightly solemn,

it seemed,

Xu Hongdou had already learned of Chen Nanxing's condition,

which was why, in overwhelming grief, she mistakenly thought Chen Nanxing was fine and had accidentally dialed his number,

25559500

So,

Qin Feng replied: "Alright, Xu Hongdou, wait for me at the hospital—I'm on my way."

"Mm."

Xu Hongdou mechanically responded,

then slowly turned her head to the nurse who had been with her: "Thank you, my friend is coming soon."

"Alright, then sit right here, don't move around, and definitely don't run off!"

Only then did the nurse give Xu Hongdou a few more warnings before standing up and leaving.

More than twenty minutes later,

Qin Feng parked his car in the temporary parking space in front of the oncology ward's main entrance,

then hurried into the lobby,

looked around,

and finally spotted Xu Hongdou sitting alone in the corner, eyes hollow, expression numb.

Qin Feng knew,

that at this moment, Xu Hongdou still could not accept the fact that Chen Nanxing had been diagnosed with cancer, still drowning in overwhelming grief and shock.
