Mother Geng certainly couldnât answer her sonâs questions, repeatedly saying, "The doctorâs clothes are white, their faces are similar, I canât tell who is who. Their words are mumbled, I canât hear them."
Geng Yongzhe asked again, "Did the doctor say when the surgery for my brother would be when they asked us to sign?"
"I donât know what date? Did the doctors say a date?" Mother Gengâs response was that she couldnât even understand the date of the surgery, which seemed quite surprising.
Geng Yongzhe looked at his mother, a question mark appearing in his eyes as he wondered what was wrong with his motherâs mind.
In fact, Mother Geng definitely didnât fail to understand the date, she simply didnât take it in, didnât form a memory chain in her mind, equivalent to nothing. For the brain to form a memory chain, conditions are needed, previously stated not to repeat.
Aunt was worried about her son, feeling anxious, and when she met the doctor, it was like seeing white terror, unable to remember anything. Xie Wanying had long noticed this and went to ask the nurse on behalf of Student Geng.
The nurse sister told her that the patientâs attending doctor might still be in the hospital, as Chang Jiaweiâs jacket for going home was hung and untouched in the changing room.
Receiving this information, Xie Wanying found Student Geng and said, "Doctor Chang is probably in Teacher Fuâs office, letâs go to the eighth floor to ask him."
The two went to the eighth floor. Arriving at Fu Xinhengâs office door, they seemed to hear the voices of other people inside the office. The two dared not knock casually, standing outside first.
"You ask me, why should I tell you?" Chang Jiawei stood by the window, turning his face outward, clearly refusing to answer the questions of the person who came to the office to ask him.
Who was asking Doctor Chang questions and what questions were they asking. Xie Wanying and Geng Yongzhe wondered as they stood at the door.
"Iâm here to understand the patientâs situation."
"Oh please. Cao Yong, you say youâre asking questions for the patientâs sake. What kind of questions are you asking, and what do they have to do with the patient?"
It was Senior Caoâs voice, Senior Cao was chasing after Chang Jiawei with questions. Could it be about Geng Yonghuiâs condition? Following this, the senior and the elder began to argue over academic issues.
In this situation, itâs clearly inappropriate for the patientâs family to stand here listening. Xie Wanying, worried about Student Gengâs reaction, hurriedly turned to Student Geng and said, "Letâs come back later."
It would be better to wait until Senior Cao and Senior Chang finish discussing and reach a consensus before the family members ask the doctors for their opinion.
As he glanced at her expression, Geng Yongzhe thought about the reason, which was different from hers.
He wondered if Student Xie was as oblivious as the boys in his class thought. He listened to the argument between Senior Cao and Chang Jiawei through the door; it didnât quite sound like they were arguing academically about his brotherâs illness, but rather about Student Xie. Hmm, perhaps it was his male intuition kicking in.
"Alright." Geng Yongzhe nodded in agreement, thinking it was more appropriate to take Student Xie away at this time to avoid embarrassment for her.
The two subsequently walked away, planning to return to knock on the door after the people inside stopped arguing. As they walked away, Xie Wanying lowered her head to pull out her phone, discovering and processing a new message.
Geng Yongzhe continued to listen, the sounds coming from the distant office seemed to have more than just Chang Jiawei and Senior Cao, there was also Senior Brother Huang?
"Why canât we ask you?" Huang Zhilei, less patient than Cao Yong, was provoked by the otherâs gruff question, and burst out.
