“Yes.”
“How is she, doctor, please tell .”
“Her condition is very serious now. Although your husband said he would discharge her from the hospital, we fear that if she goes ho imdiately, she might—”
Miao Fen stumbled, her hand resting on the stair railing nearby: “No, she only ntioned she had diarrhea before, saying that it would be fine after getting so dicine from the hospital. How did it beco like this?”
“She must have been ill for a long ti and never had further examinations in a big hospital. Given her condition now, she should have co to Guoxie when she started passing blood.”
“Did she go to Guoxie to see a doctor?”
“Yes.”
“I rember now, she said she had an old classmate working in logistics at Guoxie. So, I had suggested that if her illness wasn’t getting any better, she should go to Guoxie early. Can’t Guoxie treat her illness either?”
“She ca to the hospital too late, so—”
“You’re coming to find now, does it an she’s not going to make it?” Miao Fen asked, hugging her son tightly.
Seeing this, Xie Wanying understood her concerns. So family mbers dislike letting children witness the scene of an elderly person passing away, believing it’s not good for the child. In short, death is a very taboo subject among Chinese people.
“Can you listen to for a mont? There are so things that if you don’t do them now, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life and can never make up for. Do you want your son to regret forever not being able to speak a few words with his grandmother before she passes away? Perhaps, your son would like to say his last few words to his grandmother, rather than feeling upset, on so distant future day, realizing that he didn’t get the chance to do so,” Xie Wanying said.
Hearing this, the neighbor Auntie piped up, “Fenfen, your mother-in-law raised your son with her own hands. They have a very deep bond. What this doctor is saying is right. Imagine if your son finds out that he never visited his grandmother before she died. Think about it, who would he bla? We don’t need to ntion your husband, but think about yourself. When you were in confinent after giving birth, your mother-in-law took care of all your needs.”
“I know, I think of my mother-in-law as another mother. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to enter my current workplace. If it weren’t for Zhang Hao, his constant gambling, I wouldn’t have been able to continue living with him. I haven’t divorced him yet, all because of my mother-in-law,” Miao Fen’s eyes reddened, and tears stread down her face, “Alright, I’ll ask for a day off for the kid tomorrow and take Mingming to see his grandmother.”
“Can you go with now?” Xie Wanying didn’t want to risk any further delays. After all, Aunt Wang really didn’t have much ti left.
Fear shivered through Miao Fen, and she nearly lost her balance again.
“Go on, go on. The doctor is saying this, why are you dawdling? Your husband is heartless, but at least you and your son should be human!” the neighbor Auntie said, waving at her.
Miao Fen bit her lip: “Alright, I’ll go now, doctor!”
The three of them imdiately went down the stairs. To Xie Wanying’s surprise, parked at the stairwell was the small car that had brought her earlier.
“Are you heading to the hospital now? I’ll take you,” Qi Yunfeng said, poking his head out from the lowered car window to the three of them.
This man was the rare kind who helped others to the end. Xie Wanying couldn’t help but smile, “Thank you, Mr. Qi.” After saying this, she opened the car door and helped Miao Fen and her son get in.
