Chapter 1669: Chapter 535: Well-Intentioned Lie (Part 2)
The landlady said wistfully.
“Could I ask you where she lives?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m a friend of her daughter.”
Su Ming said to the landlady.
“Oh, she lives over on Xiangxin Street, the house with a little garden full of flowers is hers.”
The landlady pointed in a direction and said to Su Ming.
“Thank you.”
Su Ming left with Zhang Yi.
Half an hour later, Su Ming and the two arrived at Xiangxin Street. This area is near the Lower District, and the houses are mostly self-built.
“With a garden? Boss, do you think it’s that one?”
Ankaga looked around, suddenly his eyes brightened and asked.
Su Ming turned to look, only to see a two-story house in the distance, with a garden in front surrounded by an iron fence, inside were various kinds of flowers.
“That should be it, let’s go check.”
Su Ming led the two over.
When they arrived at the door, Su Ming took a deep breath and then reached out to press the doorbell on the iron gate.
Ding~
A crisp sound kept ringing.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came out to open the door.
“Boss, looks like no one is home.”
Zhang Yi tiptoed and peered inside, saying.
“Then let’s wait here.”
Su Ming said somberly.
At that moment, a voice came from the neighboring house’s door.
“Who are you looking for?”
Su Ming turned and saw an older lady with wrinkles all over her face, wearing a greasy apron, yelling.
“Hello, we’re looking for Aunt Qin Qing, is she not at home?”
Su Ming asked politely.
“Who are you?”
The lady looked at Su Ming and his companions suspiciously.
“We are friends of her daughter, we specifically came to visit her.”
Su Ming quickly said.
“Oh, then you’d better go to the hospital, maybe you’ll still catch her in time.”
Upon hearing this, the lady promptly informed them.
“Ah, what happened?”
Su Ming’s expression changed slightly as he asked.
“What else could have happened? She lost her husband years ago and lived with her daughter. Recently a few soldiers came and informed her that her daughter had died! She couldn’t handle it and took pills to commit suicide. It’s a shame; she was such a good person, always helping others! Someone came to visit and found her; they quickly sent her to the hospital! But she was really foolish; going through all this at the hospital, her daughter’s pension will probably be gone.”
The lady spoke while shaking her head.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s heart sank, and he asked.
“Aunt, could you tell us which hospital she is at?”
“First Central Hospital, go quickly,”
The lady sighed and said.
“Thank you.”
Su Ming promptly left in a hurry with Zhang Yi.
….
First Central Hospital.
Su Ming and his companions hurriedly walked in through the main entrance.
Ankaga immediately ran towards the service desk inside the lobby to inquire from the nurse on duty.
Su Ming and Zhang Yi stood waiting.
Within minutes, Ankaga returned to Su Ming and said.
“Boss, I’ve found out, she’s in Room 318 in the 1st Inpatient Building!”
“Let’s go!”
Su Ming immediately headed to the 1st Inpatient Building.
Moments later, Su Ming and his companions arrived at the 1st Inpatient Building and walked along the cold corridor towards Room 318.
As they neared Room 318, they noticed a female nurse angrily speaking to a male doctor.
“Doctor Chen, she won’t cooperate at all, won’t take the medication, refuses water, doesn’t respond to anything. I don’t understand why we’re putting in so much effort to save her.”
“Oh, don’t say that! She’s also a pitiful person, her husband sacrificed his life, and now her daughter too, she’s the only one left.”
“I know she’s pitiful, but she doesn’t want to live. What’s the point of wasting so many medical resources?”
“Even so, she must be saved; she’s a martyr’s family member.”
Doctor Chen said with a tightly knit brow.
Su Ming listened to their conversation, his expression changing, and then he stepped up to them and politely asked,
“Excuse me, is the patient in the room Mrs. Qin Qing?”
Su Ming asked.
“Yes, who are you?”
Doctor Chen looked at Su Ming with curiosity.
“I’m a friend of her daughter.”
Su Ming said.
“That’s great, please go in and try to persuade her; the patient’s condition is very bad right now.”
Doctor Chen quickly advised Su Ming.
“Alright!”
Su Ming carried his bag and entered the hospital room alone, with Zhang Yi and Ankaga staying outside the door.
Inside the hospital room.
A middle-aged woman with long black hair, a face as pale as paper, features delicate and similar to Lin Chuyu, lay on the bed with empty eyes.
Su Ming walked to the bedside and softly began speaking.
“Auntie, I’m Su Ming, Chuyu’s friend.”
Qin Qing lay motionless on the bed, as if she couldn’t hear Su Ming’s words, her eyes void of color.
“Auntie….”
Su Ming kept calling softly.
Unfortunately, Qin Qing didn’t respond.
Su Ming gently exhaled and spoke softly.
“Auntie, Chuyu’s dream was to one day find her father and bring him back; she didn’t break her promise, she really found him.”
On hearing Su Ming’s words, Qin Qing’s vacant eyes moved slightly, slowly turning to look at Su Ming.
Su Ming immediately opened the bag in his hand and took out the tattered military uniform left by Lin Tianhai.
“Tian… Hai!”
Qin Qing instantly recognized her husband’s military uniform and struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Su Ming quickly stepped forward to support her, propping a pillow behind her so she could sit up.
Then he placed the uniform in front of her.
