Chapter 541: There is a loved one living in everyone's heart
Chapter 541 There is a loved one in everyone’s heart
It's a bit strange that a person like Mu Shaocheng would say such a thing, but then again, maybe it's not surprising at all.
Everyone has a favorite person.
It's just that Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Mu Shaocheng's evil but not his good.
People on opposite sides will always view each other as the most evil.
"dad!"
The cheerful voice is as pure as supreme crystal.
The immature girl turned the wheelchair around, and a doll-like little girl sat on it. A transparent tube was inserted into her nostrils and connected to the oxygen tank on the back of the wheelchair.
“Purple!”
Mu Shaocheng's voice was filled with love for a moment. He bent down and kissed the top of her hair.
“This is Doctor Jiang, Doctor Jiang, this is my baby daughter Ziluo.”
At this time, Mu Shaocheng transformed into an out-and-out loving father.
Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned forward and stretched out his hand.
“Ziluo, nice to see you.”
“I’m very happy to see you, too. I’ve never seen a female doctor before. Every time I see him, he’s either an old man with a white beard or a serious middle-aged uncle. Sister, you are so beautiful.”
The little girl Zi Luo shook hands with Jiang Xiaoxiao politely. Her fingers were still so delicate that Jiang Xiaoxiao held them carefully.
Mufeng said that Ziluo was already twelve years old, but her figure seemed to be only six years old, and her weight might not even be twenty-five kilograms.
She is very, very thin, with fair and green skin. Her smart black eyes are like her father's. She has an angelic smile on her snow-white face, and her soft yellow hair is tied into a ponytail with a bow.
“You wild girl, don’t be arrogant, this is Dr. Jiang.”
Mu Shaocheng reprimanded Zi Luo in a rare doting tone, but it was clear that there was no blame at all.
Ziluo giggled when her father called her a wild girl.
Then he faced Mu Shaocheng's reproachful eyes with an innocent face, and then shrugged.
"I'm telling the truth! Dr. Jiang, you are so beautiful. If my father hadn't introduced you as a doctor, I would have thought you were one of my father's girlfriends."
Hearing those words from his innocent daughter made him stare at her speechlessly.
“I disappoint you, but I’m not your father’s woman,”
“I’m just a doctor.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed out.
“I know that you are different from those women who try hard to please me. They just want to marry my dad, but you are not. My dad dotes on me very much. No matter what I want, he will get it for me.
So I try to limit my requests, otherwise he will be too busy to do anything else. "
Her childish innocence and trust are mixed with a shrewdness beyond her years.
Physical illness forced her to learn to introspect earlier than the average young person.
“Before he recovers, I will show you my room.”
She turned the wheelchair neatly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao followed the wheelchair around the room.
A middle-aged woman came forward with a smile on her face. She was introduced as Zi Luo’s nurse Aunt Pei.
Her bedroom is connected to Ziluo's bedroom so that she can be taken care of at any time.
Anything that might interest a little girl can be found in the room.
Various books, videos, dolls, toys and popular magazines were all displayed to Jiang Xiaoxiao one by one.
Mu Shaocheng kept following them. The feeling of not being needed made him confused and dazed.
Ziluo even took out her makeup case to show Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Mu Shaocheng coughed again.
That's not a little girl's house wine. What's packed in the small silver suitcase is a full set of genuine brand-name cosmetics.
“If I die, use this to put makeup on me. Dad, you have to promise me.”
Mu Shaocheng's face suddenly lost all color.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao truly felt sorry for their father and daughter.
"Don't talk nonsense. No, Doctor Jiang is here to treat you. You will be fine soon."
“But... just in case. Promise me, Dad.”
“I promise you.”
Mu Shaocheng's voice was hoarse and unnatural.
Ziluo reached out and patted his knee to comfort him.
“I hope I don’t have to use it.”
Mu Shaocheng lifted her from the wheelchair onto his lap and rested his cheek on her head silently.
“You won’t need them until a long, long time before they expire.”
Finally he said.
"I know."
But her eyes showed different thoughts.
She looked a little tired.
He touched her cheek.
“Would you like to lie down for a while?”
“Put me on the chaise longue,” she said.
Aunt Pei came over to help push the wheelchair and oxygen tank so that Mu Shaocheng could carry Ziluo to the recliner.
He covered Ziluo's legs with a thin quilt, and Aunt Pei adjusted the pillow so that she could sit comfortably.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took the initiative to check her by her side. She was not a fairy even with her eyes.
"alright,"
She leaned back against the pillows. "This is the most comfortable way to watch a movie."
She gave him a sly look.
“It’s a literary romance film.”
Mu Shaocheng has returned to his calm demeanor.
“You will make my hair turn gray with anger.”
He frowned deliberately. "Literary romance film."
“There is also a **** scene in it.” She added mischievously.
"say no more."
He raised his hands in a gesture of resistance.
“I don’t want to listen, a father can only endure so much. Say goodbye to Dr. Jiang, and we won’t bother you watching your romantic movies.”
Zi Luo stretched out her hand.
“Goodbye, Dr. Jiang, it’s been a lot of fun today. Will you come see me again??
"of course."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled distressedly.
“It’s really nice meeting you. Your dad is lucky to have you as his daughter.”
Ziluo looked up at her father, showing her precocious eyes again.
“Lucky me,” she said.
He kissed her, touched her little face, turned and left with a smile, but his hand holding Jiang Xiao's arm was so hard that he almost crushed her bones.
After leaving his daughter's room, he said forcefully.
“Oh my God!”
He bent over, put his hands on his knees, and gasped for air.
After a moment, he stood up straight and continued walking forward.
Jiang Xiaoxiao could only follow him. When he arrived in the study, Mu Shaocheng spoke again.
“Sometimes it’s just too much for me.”
He said, his voice still a little hoarse.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect her—I tried not to let her know how serious her condition was, but she’s so smart…”
He did not finish his sentence.
“What disease does she have?”
“Dr. Jiang, can’t you see?”
Jiang Xiao paused for a moment, are you going to start the exam?
“I can see that there are too many faults.”
Mu Shaocheng pondered and turned the empty wine glass in his hand.
“She has a defective heart, only one kidney, and cystic fibrosis. The cystic fibrosis seems to be affecting her digestive system more than her lungs, otherwise she might have…”
He was speechless and swallowed several times before he spoke again.
"Although the new drugs were helping, she was still having trouble absorbing the nutrients she needed. She was eating regularly, but she wasn't growing or gaining weight. The growth only put a strain on her heart. A heart transplant was impossible because she had a cyst Sexual fibrosis."
He gave a wry smile.
“Finding a suitable heart was almost impossible. Her body could only accept a heart from a child, but child donor hearts are very rare. Her blood type was type A negative, which reduced the chance of finding a suitable heart to close to zero.
Even if such a heart is available, the medical establishment still believes that a healthy heart should not be wasted on a person with... too many other problems. "
Jiang Xiaoxiao had nothing to say. Empty encouragement and false hopes did not help Ziluo's condition.
“Doctor Jiang, do you have a solution?”
Mu Shaocheng looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with eager eyes.
