She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

the next day.

Uncle Meng Xia came over early in the morning, still wearing yesterday's clothes, his eyes were red and blood-red, and he looked like he hadn't slept well all night. He also brought breakfast to the two of them.

"Are you hungry? I bought you breakfast. I just bought it in front of the hospital. I don't know if you are used to eating it."

"Thank you."

With his eyes flashing, Meng Xia stretched out his hand to make the steamed buns with soy milk, and gave half of it to Huo Xibai.

After simply eating, they went to the doctor to discuss the situation. The doctor still said that the situation was not optimistic and it was best to operate as soon as possible.

"How about a chance of surgery?"

"We can't guarantee this. Surgery has certain risks, and older patients will also increase the risk of surgery."

"Then how much does this surgery cost?"

"This depends on the patient's condition, but I would like to remind you that after the operation is successful, the patient is likely to develop hemiplegia... So in addition to the initial surgery fee, the cost of subsequent care is also a large expense."

"Then, is there any other way? We can't spend so much money, suffer so much, and end up paralyzed in bed, right?"

"Besides, we are all ordinary people. Making money to pay for her surgery is already a problem. How can we afford the follow-up expenses?"

The man scratched his hair and held the doctor's hand with a miserable look on his face. "Doctor, please help me think of another way. I have two children at home. The eldest will take the college entrance examination next year. The younger one is still in elementary school..."

The doctor also sighed, "This disease is like this, it is expensive and troublesome, and the patient is not young, so... your family members should think about it carefully."

The patients are older and the cost is too high. Most families give up treatment or receive conservative treatment. This kind of thing has become common in hospitals.

Hearing this, Uncle Meng Xia turned to look at Meng Xia, "Xia Xia, you also heard that the doctor's surgery is risky, and there is a possibility of paralysis after the surgery, so this surgery..."

"Of course we have to do the surgery, and we also ask the doctor to arrange the surgery for my grandma as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Meng Xia turned to look at his uncle again, his eyes were particularly calm, "As for the surgery fees and subsequent expenses, uncle, don't worry, I will find a way..."

Before she finished her sentence, her shoulders suddenly felt heavy. Before she could react, she heard Huo Xibai smile and say, "This is because you are ignorant. Grandma is not your only grandma..."

"My uncle and grandma have been in a relationship for so many years. At this time, of course, I have to contribute money and effort, and stay by the bed to take care of her with all my heart. If you suddenly say this, doesn't it seem that my uncle has no filial piety?"

What he said lightly was clearly sarcastic. After hearing this, the man's face turned red and white, and he could only bite the bullet and explain, "Xia Xia, it's not that I don't want to pay. You can tell me with your conscience. Your mother has been... I’m taking care of your grandma alone.”

"No matter how big or small the illness is, I will do my best to take care of it. If there was nothing I could do this time, I wouldn't..."

His voice suddenly choked, and the man couldn't help but lower his head and wipe his face.

Meng Xia didn't expect Huo Xibai to say that suddenly, and quickly gave him a wink to tell him not to talk nonsense. However, Huo Xibai didn't seem to see her eyes, and continued -

"The surgery fee plus follow-up expenses are hundreds of thousands at least. You have nothing to do, so what are you going to do for a little girl who has just graduated a few years ago and is not yet working?"
