Chapter 107 Chapter 5 Mozambique

Xiaomei pushed open the door of the ward, and saw Xiaoye lying on the bed facing outside, with her head tilted, as if she was asleep. Xiaomei quietly came to Xiaoye's couch and pulled up the activity curtain.There is an old woman with many children and grandchildren living in the hospital bed next door. There are constant visits from guests all day long, and she is always very noisy, but this does not seem to be a problem for Xiaoye, she is always lethargic.In fact, on the way to send her to the doctor that day, Xiaoye fell into a drowsy sleep. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed her with pneumonia, and she was admitted to the hospital immediately. The doctor told them with certainty that she would be fine after a week or two. Now after five days, the optimism of the doctors is disappearing. The fever got worse and he was lethargic.Jill called the most prestigious doctor in the hospital for an examination. After seeing it, the doctor told them mysteriously that although pneumonia is not an incurable disease, it also has a considerable mortality rate.

What the doctor meant was obvious.Suyuan found that in the inpatient form of the nursing station, there was a red dot on Xiaoye's name, which was a special mark for critically ill patients.Xiaoye's lethargic sleep was getting longer and longer, and she rarely woke up once or twice a day.The frequency of doctor's visits has increased. This morning, the doctor, Xiaomei and the others gathered in front of Xiaoye's bed. Facing Jier's series of questions, when the doctor answered, he also had a puzzled look on his face. Xiao Ye's high fever persisted, her white blood cell count increased sharply, and her kidney function was failing.

"It's rare to see such a medical record." The doctor said, "The patient is still very young, and he is usually in good health. It shouldn't be that his resistance is so low. It's a total defeat. It's really puzzling." So the doctor made more tests on Xiao Ye, but the result was in vain. Xiaomei sat down softly in front of Xiaoye's bed, she saw Xiaoye turned her head, it turned out that she was awake. Because of the high fever, Xiao Ye's cheeks were flushed.Xiaomei adjusted the ice pillow for her, and wiped her face and neck with a towel.Xiaoye was wearing the pink gown of a female patient, and Xiaomei had never seen her wear women's clothing before.

"Thank you." Xiaoye said softly. "You have a good rest, today I will take a shift to accompany you." Xiaomei held her hand and found that her hand was cold. "What time is it?" "Seven o'clock in the evening. Are you hungry?" Xiaomei asked.She felt that Xiaoye's spirit was much better today. "I'm asking what's the date today." "Number seven. You are on your sixth day in the hospital." "So long?" Xiaoye frowned deeply confused, "Six days?" "Recover at ease. Get well soon and leave the hospital early." Xiaomei said, "Do you want me to read to you? Jill brought you a few books. What do you want to hear? Magazines, novels, or collections of poetry?"

"Hack." Xiaoye said weakly, "Don't read poetry, I'm the least poetic." "Then shall I read the newspaper to you?" "No more." Xiaoye shook her head and closed her eyes wearily.Xiaomei felt distressed when she saw that her originally watery eyes were now slightly sunken, and there was still a faint blackness in the eye sockets. "Then shall I chat with you?" Xiaomei asked. Xiaoye shook her head. "Xiaoye, you must pull yourself together and make it through, don't panic us to death." Xiaomei said, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.Xiaoye has always been the liveliest, I have never seen her so depressed.

"I can't be too anxious." Xiaoye opened her eyes again, and she said, "Even if you die, it's not bad." "Why do you say that? You don't want to think about people who care about you? Think about Hai'an, think about Jill." "What's the use of thinking about them? They're two free birds. What's a leaflet? A leaflet is just a branch, let them perch." Xiaomei's tears rolled down, but she smiled, and she said, "Who said you have no poetry? I have never met a more romantic person than you." There were some voices at the door, it was Jier who came with Xiaoye's father and mother.Xiaomei got up to open the door, but Xiaoye took her hand.

Xiaoye raised her head slightly from the pillow, and a little brilliance appeared in her eyes.She said: "Xiaomei, my life has been very happy." Xiaoye went back to sleep on the pillow and closed her eyes. Jill and Xiaoye's parents came in.They talked with the attending doctor just now, and they didn't know what they talked about, Xiaoye's mother's eyes were red.Now Xiaoye fell into a coma again, and everyone sat around her, helpless. Xiaoye's father took off the hat with the words "Xinong Pesticide" printed on it, and held Xiaoye's hand.He was very silent.There has been no way to understand this daughter.Xiaoye has been a very lively girl since she was a child. What Dad can't forget is the scene of Xiaoye wearing a blue skirt of a primary school girl and scuffling with a little boy.She is a strong wild girl.The elementary school teachers all told him that Xiaoye has a talent for painting, and she must be cultivated.Although Dad didn't think painting was a good job, he still paid for Xiaoye to learn painting.The more Xiaoye paints, the better she gets, and the walls of her home are covered with awards from painting competitions.

It is said that talented children are difficult to raise, is it probably true?The bigger Xiaoye grows, the less Abba can understand her.The most puzzling thing is that Xiaoye has become so masculine.Such a beautiful girl, dressed as a boy all day long, made him almost unrecognizable.Perhaps she should not have been allowed to study painting in Taipei alone. Taipei is a strange place, and it was Taipei that changed her.My father stroked Xiaoye's short hair and felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to Xiaoye. He didn't know how she had lived these past few years. My father thought to himself that when Xiaoye recovered from her illness, he must take her back to Chiayi.

Suyuan came over after get off work.After sitting with Jill for a while, because Jill wanted to smoke, she went to the smoking room with Jill. "Have you found Hai'an?" Suyuan asked Jier. "No. The guy, let him go again," said Jill, lighting her cigarette with her head down. "And what about Marty's family?" "I got in touch, but I haven't told her dad what happened. Damn, I'm the worst comforter. What should I say? Come with me to see her family." "Okay." Suyuan replied.Speaking of Marty, Su Yuan felt a pain in her heart. How could she go to Madagascar and become a foreign soul?There were too many things in the past two days, Xiaoye fell ill, Hai'an disappeared, so he was too busy to have time to cry.

Jill's eyes also turned red. "Are you crying?" "No," Jill said. "It's smoke, damn smoke. So-won, let me tell you something." "Ok?" "I'm leaving. Do you understand? I'm leaving Taiwan." "Going abroad with Jean-Paul?" "Yes. I decided to go with him to join the international environmental protection work. They have a third world environmental protection leader training program. Jean-Paul recommended me to represent Taipei, and I decided to receive training." "Where are you training?" "In Africa, Mozambique. It takes half a year to train, and then I have to go to some countries for internships. I don't know how long it will take."

"when are we leaving?" "The end of October." "The end of October?... so fast, there are only less than two months left." Su Yuan tilted her head, she thought for a while, and then said, "You are leaving Taipei." "Yes, but I'll be back." "That's great." Su Yuan became a little absent-minded. "Suyuan, I entrust my affairs in Taipei to you, you must be my manager." Jier said.She means book royalties and other chores. "The New Shareholder Era" was published two months ago, and it has already risen to the top of the best-seller list. Suddenly, Jill's fame and fortune flowed in, and fortunately, she had the money, which happened to pay for Xiao Ye's medical expenses.Xiaoye's parents are struggling financially. The Sad Coffee Shop has been losing money after being hospitalized in Hai'an, and there is no one in Hai'an. This time Xiaoye is hospitalized, and all the expenses are borne by Jier.Just now the doctor discussed with Jier that Xiaoye might be transferred to the intensive care unit, Jier readily agreed, money is not a big deal to her. "There's also Sad Cafe, it's up to you to help." Jill said again. "Okay." Suyuan looked at the little lights outside the window, her mind had drifted to Hualien.There, the blue sea is vast, the blue sky is endless, there are few people, and there is sunshine as bright as a small island in the South China Sea.
