There was only one day left before the competition. I didn't have time to eat dinner after work today, so I pulled Zhang Yu to the demonstration room to go over all the operations in detail. However, when Zhang Yu and I walked to the entrance of the Department of Hematology, a familiar back attracted my gaze. Suddenly, I felt my heart beat faster and my face couldn't help but blush. Zhang Yu saw that my expression wasn't right, so he laughed softly.""Sister Ye Qiu, do you miss Doctor Xiao? Why is your face suddenly red?”
I hurriedly shook my head." Don't talk nonsense. I have no feelings for him at all. Do you see that person in front? He's my old classmate. I haven't seen him for a long time. I'll go over and say hello. You go first!”As I spoke, I pointed at Lu Kai's back not far away.
"Old classmate? I think she's your first love. Otherwise, why are you blushing?”Zhang Yu smiled evilly and tried to catch up with Lu Kai to see which one was more handsome.
Seeing that Zhang Yu was up to no good, I reached out and grabbed her collar. I shook my head solemnly and said,"Zhang Yu, don't mess around! He's really my old classmate. He must have something to do at the hospital. I'll go over and greet him to see if he needs my help. I'll go to the demonstration room to look for you in a while. Be good, go quickly!"
Zhang Yu looked at my serious face and didn't dare to be mischievous anymore. He smiled and nodded."Alright, I'll go first. Hurry up!”
"Got it!" I waved at Zhang Yu and smiled as she disappeared from my sight.
I took out a mirror from my handbag and looked at myself. I had been so focused on the operation these days that I didn't have time to put on a mask. In addition, the spring climate was dry, so my face looked dry. Even the corners of my eyes had fine lines. Looking at my lips, it was even worse. A few dry cracks seemed to be about to ooze blood. In fact, the reason why I am like this today is not because I am busy with work, but because I lack the love of a man. As Yanzi said, a woman without love will definitely wither and decline. Lu Kai was right in front of me. I couldn't let him think that I was as old as an auntie. There was no way to fix my face, but there was still a way to save my lips. I took out lip balm from my bag and applied some on my chapped lips. Then, I applied a layer of orange lipstick on it. I looked at the mirror and tidied my bangs on my forehead. I instantly felt much more energetic. Only then did I confidently chase after Lu Kai.
"It's so late. Why are you here?”Less than half a meter away from Lu Kai, I gathered my courage and said gently.
When Lu Kai heard my voice, he turned around and said,""Ye Qiu, it's you!"
"I just got off work and saw your back when I passed by the Department of Hematology, so I chased after you.”I revealed my gentlest side and said softly. I haven't seen him for many days, and Lu Kai seems to have become much more haggard. The sadness in his eyes makes my heart ache. I know that Yun Shu's illness must have worsened again.
Lu Kai let out a long sigh." Yunshu has been in so much pain these few days that she can't sleep at night. I want to come to the Department of Hematology to take a look. When can we find a bone marrow that matches her?"”
I'm a nurse. Although I've never worked in the oncologist department, I know that the pain of terminal cancer is unbearable for everyone. Yun Shu is a weak woman. How painful and desperate must she be in the dead of night? Fortunately, Lu Kai was by her side, or else she would definitely choose to leave this world as soon as possible. Although Lu Kai had always been in my heart all these years, and I also hoped to enter his heart as soon as possible, I was, after all, a doctor who put the patient's life first. At this moment, I had long forgotten that Yun Shu was my love rival.
"Poor Iris. Didn't she prepare any painkillers?”Looking at Lu Kai's bloodshot eyes, my heart ached faintly.
Lu Kai shook his head." No, she said that she could still hold on. She said that she would talk about it when the pain was really unbearable."”
Yun Shu was a doctor. She knew that the pain of cancer was unimaginable, but if she used painkillers as soon as possible, her body would become dependent on them. When the pain worsened in the future, all painkillers would have no effect.
"Yunshu is very strong. I hope she can find a suitable bone marrow as soon as possible.”I'm a very sensitive person. When I heard that Yun Shu was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep at night and didn't have any intention of using various painkillers, I immediately admired this weak woman. If life and death could be discussed, I would definitely convince the King of Hell not to take away this woman who loved life and insisted on being brave.
Lu Kai's eyes were dark, and he forced a smile on his face.""Yunshu is such a good person. I believe we can find a suitable bone marrow for her soon.”
"Yes, Yunshu is an employee of the hospital. The Department of Hematology will definitely try their best to find a suitable bone marrow.”I nodded affirmatively. Although when I first found out that Lu Kai was in love with this terminally ill woman, I had also ruthlessly hoped that she would leave this world as soon as possible. However, after talking to Lu Kai and having a few direct interactions with Yun Shu, I knew that Yun Shu had been deeply imprinted in Lu Kai's heart. No matter if she was alive or dead, their sincerity would not weaken at all. Instead of watching Lu Kai be lonely and sad after Yun Shu died, it was better to pray that Yun Shu could live on well. That way, even if I could not get the love I wanted... At least the person I love is still happy.
After hearing what I said, Lu Kai's eyes lit up. He smiled and said,""Five days ago, the Department of Hematology said that there was a new batch of bone marrow in the warehouse, and they wanted to see if there was any suitable for Yunshu.”
"Oh, you haven't gone to the department yet, have you?" I saw the light of hope in Lu Kai's eyes. He must not have gotten the results yet.
Lu Kai nodded." Yes, I met you when I reached the stairs. I'll go and see the results now."”
"Let's go, I'll accompany you!" I smiled.
"Alright!" Lu Kai looked at me gratefully, then walked side by side with me into the door of the Department of Hematology. Ever since Yun Shu diagnosed him with leukemia, he had accompanied Yun Shu to look for bone marrow countless times, but every time, the results would make him cry. Yun Shu didn't have much time left. If he still didn't find a suitable bone marrow this time, he would probably break down on the spot.
I knew that Lu Kai was facing great psychological pressure. Although I wasn't the person he wanted to rely on the most at this moment, if the outcome wasn't what we hoped for, I would definitely give him a warm arm and let him vent all the sadness hidden in his heart.
Although it was time to get off work, the director of the Department of Hematology and a few other colleagues were still at their posts.
"Hello, Director Gao! I'm Yunshu's husband. How's the result of the bone marrow match this time?”Lu Kai looked at the director of the Department of Hematology. He was so nervous that his palms were covered in cold sweat.
The expression on Director Gao's face was very unnatural. He didn't directly answer Lu Kai's question. Instead, he looked at me in surprise and changed the topic."You're the nurse from the Orthopedics Department who participated in the nursing skills competition, Ye Qiu?”
When I heard the director of the Hematology Department accurately call out my name, I was extremely excited. You have to know that our Orthopedics Department rarely shouted at the Hematology Department. Director Gao would never have known that there was someone like me in the hospital in the past. I didn't expect that this nursing skills competition would really increase my popularity. It seemed that my hard work over the past few days was really not in vain.
"Yes, I'm Ye Qiu from the Orthopedics Department."”
"You know him?" Director Gao looked at Lu Kai and me.
"Yes, his name is Lu Kai. He's my old classmate. Director Gao, tell us the results of the bone marrow match. I saw that Lu Kai's nervous forehead seemed to be dripping with cold sweat, so I hurriedly smiled and asked Director Gao this time.
Department Director Gao's face darkened. He sighed and said,"Allogeneic bone marrow is very difficult to find, and Yunshu's condition is very special.”
Hearing Director Gao's words, Lu Kai's face turned pale and he staggered two steps back. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand steadily for a moment, so I hurriedly reached out to support his arm and said gently,"Are you alright?"
After a long silence, Lu Kai slowly pushed my hand away and sneered,""It's fine. I've heard this result no less than ten times. I can still bear it.”
Department Director Gao also looked sad. He sighed and said,"Iris is a good comrade.”
Lu Kai looked at me and Director Gao quietly, then he smiled bitterly and held Director Gao's hand. He said seriously,"Although the results are not satisfactory, I still have to thank you. You've been trying your best to find Yunshu's bone marrow during this period of time.”
"Don't say that. I'm sad that I didn't find a suitable bone marrow for Yunshu. Yun Shu is a good doctor in our hospital. Please send her my regards when you go back. I hope she can live happily every day in her limited life.”Director Gao held Lu Kai's hand tightly and said with a sad expression.
In order not to make Director Gao feel guilty, Lu Kai forced a smile and said,""I'll definitely tell Yunshu what you said. She's an optimistic girl, and with me by her side, she'll definitely be able to complete her life's journey happily.”
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that.”Director Gao whispered.
"It's getting late, and you should get off work. We won't disturb you anymore.”Lu Kai's eyes were slightly moist. In order not to cry in front of Director Gao, he whispered, turned around, and strode out of the department.
"Goodbye, Director Gao!" When I saw Lu Kai turn around and leave, I smiled and greeted Director Gao before quickly chasing after him.
Lu Kai walked very quickly, so much so that I chased him to the hospital's parking lot before I grabbed the corner of his shirt.
"I know you're feeling uncomfortable. If you want to cry, then cry. Men should also release their sadness at the right time.”I quickly walked in front of Lu Kai and looked at his tearful eyes as I said softly.
Perhaps my words had unlocked his sadness, and the tears in his eyes immediately flowed down his well-defined face. When I saw this, I really wanted to hug him tightly and use my warm embrace to ease his sadness. However, this was the hospital. My colleagues who got off work were driving home from the parking lot. If anyone who knew Lu Kai and I saw this, they would think that I, a single woman, was taking advantage of Yun Shu's critical illness to seduce her husband.
"Lu Kai, give me the car keys." I took out a tissue from my bag and handed it to Lu Kai.
Lu Kai knew that I was afraid that someone would make fun of him for crying even though he was a grown man, so he took out his car keys from his pocket and strode towards his car.
I was afraid that Lu Kai would get emotional and get into an accident while driving, so I couldn't care less about his indifference towards me. I shamelessly opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.
When Lu Kai saw me get into the car, he said expressionlessly,""I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"I believe that you can walk out of your sadness, but I want to accompany you today!”I mustered my courage and shouted.
Lu Kai shook his head helplessly." Yunshu is still waiting for me at home. I need to go home immediately!"”
Although Lu Kai knew my intentions, I, a woman, had already said such words, so how could he have the nerve to refuse? Besides, Yun Shu has a good impression of me. A few days ago, he said that he wanted to chat with me. If he takes me back today, Yun Shu might be in a better mood.
"Alright, I'll take you to see Yunshu!" After Lu Kai said that, he started the car and drove out of the hospital.
