"Ah Chen..." Insert some heartbreaking wails from a middle-aged lady wearing a set of clothes washed for who knows how many times. "Y-Your father!"
It had been a minute since he burst out of the elevator. Earlier he didn't ask the information clerk downstairs since he knew what the room number was. But when he arrived at the floor he had to ask a nurses realizing the hospital was quite huge.
Jiang Li awkwardly hugged the heartbroken mother who kept mumbling incomprehensible stuff while crying. He stared at his immature-looking thirteen year old younger brother, He Tian and saw that the little guy also had unfocused eyes and tear-stained cheeks.
"Bro, I'm glad you're finally here. D-Dad, h-he is..." The boy couldn't continue, choking on his words.
It seemed for the both of them, hearing the bad news about Father He being in such grave condition greatly frightened the two. However, as the mother figure, the lady hugging him right now had to act tough in front of her youngest son.
The husband was lying unconscious in a common room. There were many things to worry about, documents and money definitely at the top of the list. As the adult one, she whose responsibilities mainly lies in running the household had to take all the burdens to herself. Maybe all the negative feelings and thoughts, plus the fatigue accumulated so much in her heart and mind. Therefore when He Chen came to her sight, she just took that chance to let her insecurities, misgivings, and fear flow through her tears.
"I was called by a nurse saying father is ill. What happened?"
Since Mother He was a sobbing mess, he asked the question to He Tian who also relayed the situation to him. At the end of the boy's barely comprehensible explanation, Jiang Li, pretended it was his first time hearing the news as he put on a shocked face.
He kept his silence for almost ten minutes and allowed his mother to cry her heart out. After that, he left her to He Tian and went to look for the doctor. The one assigned to his father honestly told him the hospital didn't have a specialist to look after his father. He was advised to seek the right treatment center.
Actually, the whole conversation with the doctor was not very pleasant. He easily picked up the others' eagerness to talk about transferral and bills, the hidden meaning couldn't be any more obvious. While Jiang Li did plan to have his father transferred to another hospital, it still didn't sit well with him that they were being like this to their patients.
'It seems for them, miracles don't exist for an almost late-stage bone cancer, it will certainly lead to death. They would of course not want to take responsibility for it.'
Jiang Li would be lying if he said the thought of having this general hospital close down did not cross his mind. However, thinking of the effort he would have to expend, and his current progress with his own missions, he wisely tossed the plan aside.
After talking with the staffs about the transfer procedure, Jiang Li went back to where her mother was. Then he checked how Father He was doing. The old guy was sleeping when they went in.
He looked around for a couple of seconds then frowned. The huge room was housing more than ten patients. It would be no wonder if not all of the bedridden people were being paid the right attention and care they need.
'I must move this man to that oncology center before this day ends,' he quietly decided.
And he did as planned. Anyway, he had the means to accomplish everything. The only regretful thing was that he had to ask a favor to Cheng Du, the richest of the gang, to help cover for him since the money was from illegal source.
An initial payment was needed before Aurora City's best oncology center accepted their transfer request. It was quite a hassle pretending to ask somebody to lend him the money for that. Unfortunately, he had no choice but do so since his family members and those who knew him would doubt how a mere college student obtained the fund.
