When Zhang Hao returned to the hospital, it was already past 11 pm. Seeing that Juan Zi had already fallen asleep, Zhang Hao did not wake her up. Instead, he sat by the bedside and looked at his only family member in the world affectionately. Looking at Juan Zi's thin body, her yellowed face, and her tear-stained eyes, Zhang Hao's heart broke. How he wished that Juan Zi would get better immediately.。。Then, he would marry her immediately. Although Zhang Hao slowly began to realize that his love for Juan Zi was not love but kinship, he still wanted to marry Juan Zi without hesitation for his mother and Juan Zi. In his heart, Juan Zi was no longer his sister. She was his wife, his unwed wife.
At daybreak, Zhang Hao bought pastries and milk for Juan Zi early as usual. Then, he sat on the hospital bed and brought them to Juan Zi's mouth. However, Juan Zi shook her head and turned her head to the side. She had no intention of eating.
"Juan Zi, what's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked gently.
Juan Zi didn't say anything. She shook her head silently, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Come and eat a little. When your body recovers and your illness is cured, we'll go home.”Zhang Hao comforted Juan Zi. Perhaps she had suffered a lot in the past few days without him by her side.
"Brother…Brother Hao, let's go home?”Finally, Juan Zi cried." I don't want to be treated anymore. Take me home. I just want to go home and spend my last days in peace."”Juan Zi said with tears streaming down her face.
"Juan Zi, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't let your imagination run wild. We'll go back after you're cured, and then I'll marry you and live happily ever after.”Zhang Hao put down the pastry in his hand and held Juan Zi's face tightly as he wiped the tears off her face.
"Brother Hao, don't lie to me." Juan Zi shook her head." I know everything. Take me home. I don't want to stay here anymore!"”
"No!" Zhang Hao sat to the side angrily. How could he bring Juan Zi back? I still have to treat Juan Zi. How can I face my mother in the afterlife if I go back like this?
Seeing Zhang Hao angrily sit at the side, Juan Zi didn't say anything else. She just silently flowed water. In the few days that Zhang Hao had left Shanghai, the hospital had come to urge her to pay more than once. She handed the bank card that Zhang Hao had given her to the doctor, but when the doctor came back with the bank card again, he told her that there was not much money left. It was not even enough to pay for one round of chemotherapy. He spent more than 80,000 yuan in the hospital for half a month. This was almost all of Zhang Hao's savings. Juan Zi understood that Zhang Hao no longer had any money, and her illness could not be cured. She did not want to continue treating him, did not want to drag Zhang Hao down, and even wanted to die quietly.
"Young man, this is your fault!”At this moment, an auntie in the clinic called out to Zhang Hao,"You've been gone for two to three days, leaving your wife lying alone on the hospital bed. You don't know how much she's suffered.”The auntie at the side had a look of disdain. When she noticed Zhang Hao's branded suit, she was even angrier!
"Auntie, you don't know, I…"
"You're still being reasonable?" Zhang Hao wanted to explain that he was treating Juan Zi for his work, but the auntie interrupted him. Thinking about it, it made sense. The suit she was wearing was worth tens of thousands of yuan, but Juan Zi, who was lying in the hospital, could not afford a few thousand yuan for chemotherapy!
"Do you know that the hospital has already come to ask for money several times, but your wife is penniless? The hospital has even stopped treating her. As for you, I don't even know where you've been these past few days.”The auntie was very excited. Perhaps she felt that this young man in a suit was just an irresponsible heartless man.
"Auntie, don't say anymore. It's not his fault.”Juan Zi said with a sobbing tone.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything. He took out his bank card and rushed out. No money? How could that be? Didn't he still have a few thousand in his card?
" Brother Hao, Brother Hao..." Juan Zi's voice came from behind, but Zhang Hao did not stop. He only wanted to give all the money in the card to the hospital, even if... even if he could only give Juan Zi one more round of chemotherapy and let her stay in the hospital for one more day.
Zhang Hao went to the payment counter of the hospital and handed over his only bank card.
"Just 1,500?" The staff member at the window asked coldly.
Just 1,500? In Zhang Hao's impression, there should be at least two or three thousand, but he still nodded silently.
"That's too little. You don't even owe this much now. Go back and think of a way to gather more money.”The staff handed over the card.
"But before you pay, the hospital will stop treating the patient.”When Zhang Hao turned around and left, a cold voice came from the window.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything. He silently walked towards Juan Zi's ward with the card in his hand. Zhang Hao didn't enter the ward. Instead, he slowly squatted by the door and hugged his head tightly with both hands. This steel-like man shed tears again. He didn't want to lose Juan Zi. He didn't want to lose the only family member in the world. However, there was nothing he could do now. Reality was too cruel. He felt as if he had reached the end of the road. He originally thought that he could stay in Shanghai with Juan Zi in peace after finding a job. However, he now realized that his salary was just a drop in the bucket compared to the expensive medical expenses. Perhaps Juan Zi was right. He should bring her back to the place where he grew up and spend her last moments with her.
Thinking about his experience in the past few days, thinking about his trip to Japan, thinking about that annoying and cute woman, Zhang Hao felt that these were all short-lived. Perhaps he did not belong here at all, not in this prosperous world.
"I'm going to resign now. I'll take you home tomorrow!”Finally, Zhang Hao walked into the ward and said to Juan Zi before walking out of the hospital again, leaving behind a tearful Juan Zi and a helpless auntie at the side.
