Chapter 365 Meeting a Fairy (II)

Tick-tock-tick-tock…that is the beating of the clock. The pa.s.sing of every second is like the approaching of death. The red light showing “operating” of the emergency room is still on. Liu Guiying buries her face in her knees. Her shoulders are shaking slightly.

Finally, someone opens the door of the emergency room and all exhausted doctors come out. Liu Guiying looks up immediately.

“Doctor, how is my daughter?”

The attending doctor has seen so much death and pain, but now his indifferent heart is still touched by the middle-aged woman’s deep-set and bloodshot eyes.

“We have saved her from the infection this time, but we also find she has a tendency to have intracranial hemorrhage. If there is no matched bone marrow in these two days… you must be prepared.”

Liu Guiying’s knees go weak and she almost falls to the ground.

In the past few months, she has learned many things about Liu Xinyou’s illness. During the acute leukemia treatment, the most two dangerous killers for patients are infection and intracranial hemorrhage. Because of advances in medical science nowadays, the fatality rate because of the infection of acute leukemia is very low. However, there is still no ideal treatment for intracranial hemorrhage… It is the most important cause of death in acute leukemia sufferers.

The doctor said Liu Xinyou may have intracranial hemorrhage, which is like a death sentence. Liu Guiying is trembling. After half an hour later, she finally feels strong enough to change into asepsis clothes and enter the ward. Liu Xinyou’s skinny face is now as small as a palm. Covered with tubes, she lies on the hospital bed.

She can’t eat anymore, with the parenteral nutrition keeping her alive.

Liu Guiying sits down next to her daughter’s bed, “Youyou, Youyou…”

Liu Xinyou’s eyelids flicker but she still can’t open her eyes. Liu Guiying’s tears are like water from faucets which can’t be turned off. She feels she has fallen into an ice cave. It is the summer day in July but she is s.h.i.+vering with cold.

Probably the hospital also regards it impossible to save this patient. Only one nurse has ever come to record the data and change the parenteral nutrition when Liu Guiying is sitting there dumbly. The ward is so deserted and Liu Guiying is completely lost.

Mothers and daughters are connected to each other. Liu Guiying is so close to her daughter and can feel Liu Xinyou’s life is fading away even without looking at those numbers. She doesn’t want to believe it but she has an intuition that her daughter may not last the night.

Liu Guiying keeps holding Liu Xinyou’s hand, feeling her low body temperature. She does not think of having dinner at all. If Liu Xinyou can’t make it tonight, she probably will not be alive. Living alone is much worse than reuniting with her families, isn’t it?

She sits there without noticing it is getting dark.

It is already one o’clock in the morning. The dark ward suddenly has light and it dazzles Liu Guiying’s dull eyes. She finally has some reaction.

Two young men of about 18 or 19 years old are looking at the medical card and standing at the bedside. They are somewhat surprised, “Excuse me. Are you Ms. Liu Guiying who lives in the Happiess District of Furong District, Jiang City?”

Liu Guiying doesn’t know the two young people in front of her. She holds her daughter’s hand tightly and looks at them blankly. She doesn’t scream immediately because the two young men have friendly faces with gentle att.i.tude.

“Oh, our visit may be too abrupt. May I ask if you have wors.h.i.+ped a fairy whose Taoist name is ‘Mortal Heart’ in your home?”

Liu Guiying holds her breath. After her daughter reminded her, she has never told anyone about her wors.h.i.+ping the Mortal Heart Fairy. How can the two teenagers know it? She nods unconsciously. One of the teenagers is relieved and takes out a valuable jade bottle from his pocket. He pours out a sweet-scented pill, opens Liu Xinyou’s mouth and makes her swallow it.

The other teenager begins to tear off all tubes including the I.V. on Liu Xinyou.

Liu Guiying finally has some reactions, shouting angrily, “Who are you? What are you going to do with my daughter?” She rushes to push away the teenager who is trying to lift up Liu Xinyou. The young man is stunned for a while.

“Get out! All of you get out! No one is allowed to touch my daughter! She is fine. She’ll be fine. Oh…” Liu Guiying is kind of crazy now. She is delirious, regarding the two teenagers as hospital staffs. Liu Xinyou hasn’t died yet and they have been here to make room for others. They are too bullying.

“Ms. Liu, you misunderstand us… Let me put it this way. Did you make a wish in front of the Mortal Heart Fairy about saving your daughter?”

Liu Guiying is stunned. She stares at the teenager in disbelief.

The young man’s eyes are very gentle and calm. He doesn’t seem to be lying. Is it really the mercy of the fairy who knows her is suffering? As a n.o.body, Liu Guiying is clear about who she is and what she has done. She is more aware of the fact that she only offers incense and rarely serves offerings when wors.h.i.+ping. How can Mortal Heart Fairy suddenly hear her wish?

Seeing that she still doesn’t believe it, the boy stops explaining and just opens the window to let her look out.

A large golden hawk is in the air. The ward is on the eleventh floor and the golden hawk is just staying outside the window as if it is waiting for them.

“This is…” Liu Guiying opens her eyes wide. It is the mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia going viral a few years ago. Why is it here? The golden hawk in front of her has a small crown and is bigger, but there are no other differences from the mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia.

“We are going to take your daughter to Mount Jun for treatment. We will be able to arrive there in half an hour by this hawk. In my humble opinion, your daughter can’t afford any delay.”

The boy gently lifts Liu Xinyou. It looks very easy for him.

Liu Guiying dumbly stares at him stepping on the back of the hawk carefully. The other young man comes here on a sword.

“You still don’t make it clear yet? It is important to save people first. ”
