Chapter 266 The Last Sunrise
Chapter 266 The Last Sunrise
Chang Yao immediately took a taxi to the hospital. She ran to Pei's mother and held her shoulders.
"What happened?"
Mother Pei muttered in a panic, "I didn't expect her to be so seriously ill. I took care of her according to the doctor's instructions."
Tan Jianhui walked out of the emergency room and saw her there too. He realized it had been a long time since he last saw her.
"Chang Yao, the last time you brought her to the hospital, she was diagnosed with advanced cancer. I told her that active treatment could delay her recovery, but she said she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in the hospital. As a doctor, I respect my patients' opinions.
I send medicine to her home every month. I'm sorry, but we've done our best. We can go in and see her and send her off."
When Pei's mother thought about the years she and her daughter had spent together, she felt pain, regret and self-blame.
She looked at Chang Yao. If her daughter left, Chang Yao would definitely stop giving her money. She was used to living a life of taking whatever she wanted, and there was no going back.
She walked into the ward crying and lay on the bed: "Daughter, if you leave me, what should I do? What should I do if you leave me alone?"
Pei Yajie weakly stroked her mother's face: "Mom, don't play cards anymore. You always lose more than you win. I saved some money for you. It's not much, but it's enough for your living expenses this year. Without me as a burden, you don't have to rush home every day.
You don't have to take care of me all night when I'm not feeling well. You can't rest well yourself. I've been a burden to you all these years. Mom, live well."
Pei's mother cried heartbreakingly: "Your heartless father ran away with someone after seeing you become like this. I have to worry about all the big and small things at home. I have hated you for these years, but I never thought you would leave me."
Mother Pei rubbed her face and tidied her messy hair: "Yajie, it's okay. It's Zhang Qiang who has let us down. You are sick. Let Chang Yao pay for your treatment. We will stay in the hospital until you are cured."
Pei Yajie shook her head: "Mom, it can't be cured. Let me go comfortably."
"Yajie, no, don't leave mom."
"Mom, I want to eat the wontons you made. Can you go home and make me another bowl? I want to eat my fill before leaving."
Mother Pei nodded: "Okay, whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you."
Pei Yajie has been eating Mom's brand wontons since she was a child. After it became like this, she has never eaten it again. She really misses that taste.
Mother Pei walked out of the ward and saw Tan Jianhui. She grabbed his hand tightly and knelt on the floor.
"Doctor, please, save my daughter, save her, we have money, please cure her."
Tan Jianhui forcibly helped her up: "Pei Yajie's mother, listen to me, in her current condition, treatment will not be very effective, so we should respect her wishes."
Mother Pei roared in grief: "How could this happen, ah!!"
She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe and fainted on the spot. The nurse immediately helped her to the hospital bed. Tan Jianhui examined her and found out that she fainted due to excessive grief, so he let her rest well in the bed.
Chang Yao walked into the ward: "Yajie, what else do you want to do? I'll accompany you."
"I also want to see the sunrise tomorrow, but I don't know if I can see it." Pei Yajie said dejectedly.
Chang Yao held her hand and said, "You will definitely see it. Let's find a quiet place to watch the sunrise. The park downstairs is quite nice."
"Okay," Pei Yajie said with a smile.
Tan Jianhui knocked on the door and walked in. He had always been in charge of Pei Yajie's condition, and he was also impressed by this patient.
"How can I help?"
Chang Yao looked at him and said, "Thank you, Dr. Tan."
Tan Jianhui helped push the wheelchair to the park. Now that the weather was getting warmer, it was just a little cool at night, not too cold.
The two of them sat next to Pei Yajie. As the sky gradually darkened, Pei Yajie leaned weakly on Chang Yao's shoulder.
"Chang Yao, isn't the sunrise over the sea particularly beautiful? It's a pity that I couldn't go and see it in person."
"Well, it's very beautiful. I'll take you to see it when I have the chance."
"Okay." Pei Yajie said.
Tan Jianhui was worried that they would be cold, so he went back to the hospital to get small blankets to cover them: "It will still be a little chilly at night, so remember to keep warm."
"Thank you, Dr. Tan." Chang Yao wrapped two blankets around her, fearing that she would get cold.
Chang Yao lowered her head and asked, "Yajie, would you like some water?"
She filled a thermos with hot water, poured out a small cup and handed it to Pei Yajie.
Pei Yajie sat up and drank in small sips. She had some trouble drinking and choked, and started coughing.
Chang Yao reached out and wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth: "Don't be in a hurry, drink slowly."
Tan Jianhui knew too well what her current condition was. She was about to die and couldn't swallow anything.
He took the thermos cup from Chang Yao's hand and said, "She doesn't need to drink water now."
Pei Yajie gave him a grateful look. At least Chang Yao would not be spoiled by her tonight.
They sat on chairs and chatted about everything under the sun. Chang Yao was particularly happy.
Pei Yajie was always amused, but she was too weak and drowsy, and slowly began to respond unconsciously.
Chang Yao noticed that she was not in a good state and looked at Tan Jianhui. Tan Jianhui's eyes told Chang Yao that the time was almost up.
Chang Yao held back her tears and held her cold hand: "Yajie, don't sleep. We agreed to watch the sunrise. You have to hold on."
"Okay, I can definitely hold on." Pei Yajie's voice became smaller.
Chang Yao kept talking to her. As soon as she responded, the sky over the hospital began to turn white. They held on until dawn.
She said excitedly: "Yajie, look, the sun is about to come out."
Pei Yajie took a breath: "The sunrise in this hospital is full of the smell of disinfectant."
When the sun just rises, the sky is orange-red, slowly transitioning to golden yellow, and then illuminating every corner of the world.
Pei Yajie saw the sunrise as she wished. She grabbed Chang Yao's hand and said, "Chang Yao, I can't hold on any longer."
Chang Yao leaned her against the chair, squatted down, and was at her eye level: "Yajie, I want to tell you a secret. Actually, Zhang Qiang was looking for me that night, and he just mistook me for you. If I had been braver at the time, maybe you wouldn't have become like this. It's me who hurt you."
Pei Yajie's body suddenly twitched, her eyes were filled with hatred, but the next second she closed her eyes with relief.
Tan Jianhui checked her vital signs, looked at Chang Yao, and slowly shook his head. She was gone.
Chang Yao shed tears: "Yajie, if there is a next life, I will definitely protect you."
After a long time, they pushed Pei Yajie back to the hospital, and Tan Jianhui asked someone to apply for a death certificate.
Mother Pei, who was lying on the hospital bed, seemed to have telepathy. She woke up and muttered, "Yajie likes to eat wontons with pure meat filling. I'll go home and make some for her now. Wontons should be eaten while they're hot. They won't taste good if they're cold."
Chang Yao stopped her and said, "You don't have to do it anymore."
