In the classroom, Zhou Ke and He Xiaotong sat in the front row and listened carefully. He Xiaotong was still very serious in class. She was worried that at least she failed the subject. This was a very troublesome thing, which delayed her from continuing to continue to listen carefully, so she could only listen carefully during class.

Buzz! Buzz!

The sound of a slight vibration of the phone sounded. It was Zhou Ke's phone. Zhou Ke took out his phone from his little schoolbag and looked at the name of the caller. He was the brother of his uncle's family.

"Why did he call?"

Zhou Ke hung up the phone directly with a little doubt. She was in class and could not answer the phone. She called back after class. She couldn't imagine why the phone would be called at this time.

However, not long after the phone was hung up, the phone was called back. Zhou Ke continued to hang up the phone and opened WeChat to send a message to his brother. Unexpectedly, his brother's text message came first.

"Respond to the phone, uncle is sick."

Seeing this text message, Zhou Ke's heart skipped a beat.

"My dad is sick?"

Zhou Kexiao's face was full of disbelief. She was so anxious that her brother could call him. It was obviously not a common disease. However, she had only been away from home for more than a week. When she was at home on Eleven, her father was still fine, so why did she suddenly get sick?

"Teacher, I'll go to the bathroom."

Zhou Ke immediately left his seat and went to the podium to ask the teacher for leave. The teacher happily approved the leave. Zhou Ke is a good student in the class, and the teacher is very easy to talk to for such students.

Under He Xiaotong's gaze, Zhou Ke left the classroom, but He Xiaotong had some bad thoughts. She kept sitting next to Zhou Ke. Although she didn't see the content on the text message, the two consecutive calls and Zhou Ke's emotional changes made He Xiaotong feel something was wrong.

"I hope there is no problem."

At this time, He Xiaotong didn't know what to do, so she could only pray for Zhou Ke secretly, because she didn't want something to happen to her good friend.

When he arrived at the bathroom, Zhou Ke hurriedly called his brother.

"Brother, why is my dad sick?" Zhou Ke asked anxiously as soon as the phone was answered.

The brother did not answer Zhou Ke's words, and also said in an anxious tone: "Xiao Ke, come back and see. Your father is very sick, but your father is unwilling to treat him. He has already returned home. He still wants us not to tell you the matter."

"Okay, I'll take leave immediately and go home. Brother, what disease does my dad have?" Zhou Ke even cried a little in his words.

"Hepatic cancer seems to be very serious."

When Zhou Ke heard the word "liver cancer", he was in a daze and almost couldn't hold his phone. She was not a doctor, but in daily contact, she knew a little bit that liver cancer is very difficult to treat in cancer. How could her father get liver cancer?

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ke, who had red eyes, quickly walked back to the classroom. She first walked to the podium and asked the teacher for leave. When the teacher saw Zhou Ke's expression was very bad, he must have had something urgent to ask the leave directly.

Zhou Ke just returned to his seat and was about to pack up his books. He Xiaotong also asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Keke?"

"My dad is sick and I need to go home. Xiaotong helps me ask for leave from the teacher. I don't have time."

He Xiaotong replied with a "good" but when she saw that Zhou Ke's emotions had a great impact on her, He Xiaotong was very worried about Zhou Ke, so she also put away her small schoolbag. It was impossible to follow Zhou Ke home, but she also had to send Zhou Ke to the car home.

He Xiaotong asked the teacher for a leave and left the classroom with Zhou Ke. Zhou Ke did not refuse, or her mind was not on this at this time. She was thinking about her sick father, thinking about why her father got liver cancer, thinking about why her father left the hospital and went home to treat the disease, and thinking about why her father kept it from herself.

Zhou Ke walked very fast and almost tripped. He Xiaotong had to hold Zhou Ke's hand and walk quickly together. With He Xiaotong pulls him, Zhou Ke will not fall or bump into him.

When they returned to the dormitory, they simply packed up their things. The two of them went straight to the school gate, took a taxi in a luxurious manner, and headed straight to the bus station.

He Xiaotong whispered to comfort Zhou Ke along the way.

"Don't worry, your dad will be fine."

"Coco, you can't solve the problem in a hurry, so you must be calm."

"Your father just fell ill, so don't have any trouble."

Under He Xiaotong's comforting words, Zhou Ke cheered up a lot, which at least made He Xiaotong feel assured that nothing would happen to Zhou Ke on his way home.

He Xiaotong suddenly felt that the two of them had changed their identities again. When they first entered college, she was taking care of Zhou Ke. They had been familiar with each other for a long time. Zhou Ke took care of her, and now she turned back to her taking care of Zhou Ke.

He Xiaotong really doesn't want to go back, which means Zhou Ke's situation is very bad.

When Zhou Ke was sent to the car, He Xiaotong's eyes were filled with complicated expressions. She kept praying to Zhou Ke for Zhou Ke's father in her heart, hoping that Zhou Ke's sick father would recover, and hoped that something would happen to her best friend.

The two have known each other for so long, and He Xiaotong is more clear about the situation of Zhou Ke's family. She understands how serious the family will be for a family like Zhou Ke, once the pillar of the family falls ill.

If Zhou Ke’s father’s condition was very serious, it would cost a lot of money to treat the disease. Perhaps Zhou Ke would also have to drop out of school and leave the university campus.

What a fragile family.

If it were me, it would be better. I had a cousin who got rich sooner. With the relationship between the two families, it would be difficult for Zhou Kejia to borrow some money.

"I hope it's okay." He Xiaotong could only continue to pray for Zhou Ke.

More than two hours later, Zhou Ke returned to his hometown. As soon as he walked to the door, he found that many relatives had come to his home. Before Zhou Ke could ask his parents about his father's condition, he was questioned by his father.

"What do you do if you don't go to school?"

Listening to his father's questioning and looking at his father's pale face, Zhou Ke's tears couldn't stop flowing out.

Facing her crying daughter, Zhou's father didn't know what to say for a moment, so only Zhou's mother walked to her daughter and pulled her aside.

Zhou Ke held his mother and cried constantly, but he didn't notice that his mother's eyes were also red. He had also cried many times before, but now it seems that his tears have dried up.

The pillar of the house collapsed. The doctor said that if there was no treatment, he would only live for a few months, but if there was treatment, he would have to prepare at least 500,000 yuan.

The family's savings are only more than 100,000 yuan, and if relatives take out their family's assets, they can still raise 500,000 yuan.

However, each family has its own difficulties, and the Zhou family does not have particularly wealthy relatives.

Those who are close to each other can take out 30,000 or 40,000, while those who are far away can only take out 10,000 or 20,000. They knew that they had lent the money to the Zhou family, so they didn't think about paying back the money, or they didn't think about paying it back in a short period of time.

Zhou's father was cured and he could not work and make money. Zhou's mother still had to take care of Zhou's father, and only Zhou Ke could repay the money.
