Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After registering, she followed the directions and queued at the Liver Disease Department clinic for over half an hour; the hospital's broadcast finally called Liu Xiaoli's name:

"Please, Liu Xiaoli, come to Clinic Room 3 for your consultation!"

Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei immediately helped Liu Xiaoli into the clinic together.

Inside the clinic sat an old doctor; he only looked up at Liu Xiaoli's complexion once before his expression turned grave.

After asking about her situation, he issued Liu Xiaoli a liver B-ultrasound and liver function five-item test slip, instructing her to bring the slip back for a re-examination once the results were out.

"Thank you, Doctor."

Liu Xiaoli stood up to leave.

Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei were supporting her, just about to go out.

The doctor suddenly shouted:

"Which one of you is her husband?"

Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei were both stunned.

Then both shook their heads in denial.

Wang Zhanggen said:

"Doctor, we are her coworkers, not her relatives."

"Is that so..." The doctor slowly nodded, "Then why didn't her relatives come along?"

Zhou Hongwei said:

"Her parents passed away several years ago, and she is divorced; she has no children at all. She does have two brothers, but they didn't come along."

"Doctor, what do you mean by that?" Liu Xiaoli was somewhat flustered.

"Oh, nothing else. You go get the tests done first; we'll talk after the results come out."

The doctor said nothing more.

It was quite clear he had originally intended to keep Liu Xiaoli's relative behind to say a few words privately, but upon discovering that the two men accompanying Liu Xiaoli had no blood relation to her, he changed his mind and decided not to say anything.

Seeing the doctor like this, Liu Xiaoli felt uncertain in her heart.

She couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.

When Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei accompanied her downstairs to draw blood, her face was already full of apprehension, and her eyes even held fear she could not hide.

Soon, the blood draw was finished, and she could eat breakfast.

Zhou Hongwei handed Liu Xiaoli a steamed bun, but Liu Xiaoli had no appetite.

"Brother Hongwei, let's hurry and get the B-ultrasound done; we can eat after leaving the hospital."

Zhou Hongwei nodded.

Then he immediately took Liu Xiaoli to the B-ultrasound room to queue for the examination.

After queuing for over ten minutes, it was Liu Xiaoli's turn.

Liu Xiaoli went in to receive the examination, while Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei waited outside.

"In my opinion, Liu Xiaoli is probably in more danger than good fortune."

Wang Zhanggen couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, he really wanted to light a cigarette for himself.

Only smoking was not allowed in the hospital.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the vicissitudes of life were truly unpredictable.

Liu Xiaoli used to look much healthier than him, yet now she was so seriously ill, while he, Wang Zhanggen, though he had fallen ill several times, had luckily survived each time, and his illnesses were not fatal.

As for Liu Xiaoli's symptoms, they were most likely liver cancer.

"Shh, don't say such unlucky things; it wouldn't be good if Xiaoli heard!"

Zhou Hongwei quickly reminded Wang Zhanggen.

Wang Zhanggen continued to sigh and lament, though he lowered his voice considerably:

"She is truly pitiful; if she had a child, she wouldn't be in such a state now."

Zhou Hongwei also sighed:

"That's fate; it's not that she didn't want to have children, but that she simply couldn't. She and Guo Zheng'an were originally fine, but because they couldn't have children, they eventually divorced."

Wang Zhanggen nodded, deeply agreeing:

"Yes, in a person's lifetime, many things are already destined from the moment they are born from their mother's womb. Compared to that, I, Wang Zhanggen, am much luckier; not only do I have three sons, but every time something happened to my body, I was saved in time by going to the hospital."

"You are indeed lucky. If it were another family, and the son couldn't earn money, even sending him to the hospital wouldn't save him!" Zhou Hongwei smiled.

If it were him suddenly suffering a cerebral infarction, he would definitely die, because he knew his son simply did not have the financial ability to save him.

He had heard that Wang Zhanggen was hospitalized for a cerebral infarction last time and spent several hundred thousand.

Although after being saved, he could no longer do heavy work and his movements were somewhat clumsy and slow, at least he had survived.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli came out of the B-ultrasound room.

"Xiaoli, how is it?"

Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei hurried over to ask.

Liu Xiaoli was in low spirits:

"The doctor who just gave me the B-ultrasound said there is something growing in my liver."

"Could it be a tumor?" Wang Zhanggen blurted out.

"What nonsense are you talking, ptooey ptooey ptooey, it's probably just a lump of hyperplasia, don't think so much!" Zhou Hongwei hurriedly comforted Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but cry.

She knew her own physical condition.

"Brother Hongwei, Brother Changgen, let's go back."

Liu Xiaoli wiped away her tears, suddenly saying she wanted to go back.

Zhou Hongwei hurriedly persuaded:

"The test results haven't come out yet, why go back at this time?"

Wang Zhanggen also chimed in:

"The doctor instructed us to wait for the test results to come out, then go see him for a re-examination; we've come all this way, no need to be in such a hurry to go back."

Liu Xiaoli said:

"Even if the results come out, what can be done?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen and Zhou Hongwei were both speechless for a moment.

Right, even if they knew the results, what could be done?

Liu Xiaoli had neither money nor a good son who could give her money for treatment.

Even if they knew the results, nothing could be done.

It would only add fear to her inner heart.

And fear would only speed up her condition.

Causing life to drain away faster.

Actually, many patients in this world are like this; not knowing they have cancer is better, and they can even be as vigorous as a dragon and tiger, eating several bowls of rice in one meal, but once they know they have cancer, and it's late-stage, they're directly scared senseless, then their condition rapidly worsens, and within three months, they kick the bucket.

"It's up to you to decide, sigh!"

Zhou Hongwei sighed.

He knew Liu Xiaoli's difficulties.

Wang Zhanggen said:

"This examination cost several hundred yuan; no matter what, we should still get the results! This money can't be spent for nothing!"

Liu Xiaoli had already made up her mind:

"Let's go, let's go, I don't want to stay in the hospital for a moment; staying here makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

Many patients going to the hospital feel uncomfortable.

It's not because the hospital environment is bad; the hospital environment is very good, and they even turned on the air conditioner.

But because the fear in their hearts is acting up.

However, at this moment, the doctor from the B-ultrasound Room walked out and came before Liu Xiaoli.

"Liu Xiaoli, right? Director Huang just called from his side, asking you to go to his department immediately."

"Director Huang? Which Director Huang?"

"It's the doctor who just examined you and issued the examination slip; he saw your results and has some things to tell you, very important things, you should go quickly."

Liu Xiaoli was a bit confused.

She had just made up her mind to leave.

But now the doctor had called directly, asking her to go for a re-examination; should she go or not?

Wang Zhanggen said at this time:

"We should still go once; going for a re-examination now doesn't require a registration fee, if we come again next time, we'd have to pay another registration fee; I saw the introduction posted on the wall, that Director Huang is still a specialist, I guess he doesn't come here for outpatient visits every day."

Zhou Hongwei also persuaded:

"Why not go then, don't be afraid, let's actively face it."

Finally Liu Xiaoli nodded, still deciding to go for a re-examination.
