Chapter 209 entrusted for life

When the two left the ward, Xu Tao still did not let go of Meng Ling's little hand, and Meng Ling let him hold it. The two stood opposite each other. Meng Ling frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Tao, it was the ward you changed for my mother, right?"

Xu Tao nodded and said, "Well, that ward is too crowded. My aunt can't get good treatment. You have worked too hard."

"Xiao Tao, I am very grateful to you for doing this, but I want to ask you, where do you get the money?" Meng Ling looked at Xu Tao nervously after asking this.

Xu Tao smiled and said, "The money I earn is all right. Don't worry, use it well. My two good friends are in the criminal police team now. If I make black money, can I still dare to be with them?"

"Then I'll be relieved." Meng Ling breathed a sigh of relief, her nervous face suddenly relaxed, and she smiled at Xu Tao again, saying, "I also know that my worries are unnecessary. I have known since I was a child that you will definitely have a future when you grow up."

"Ha... you are only one year older than me, and your words are so old-fashioned." Xu Tao raised his hand and gently scraped Meng Ling's nose.

"Ah! You are so bad!" Meng Ling shouted in a low voice, both ashamed and embarrassed.

Xu Tao smiled. He didn't know why he did this naturally, but he felt very comfortable. He smiled and said, "There are so many maomaoes. You must take revenge on me in the past."

"We have all grown up, and... don't always call me Maomao, so people are so embarrassed to hear it."

"Then..." Xu Tao suddenly bent down and whispered in Meng Ling's ear: "Then applaud when there is no one."

Meng Ling wanted to hit Xu Tao's chest with both hands, but Xu Tao couldn't lift one hand, but the other hand still hit Xu Tao's chest and said angrily: "You really don't learn well, you're even more annoying than when you were a child."

Xu Tao looked at Meng Ling's shy and cute appearance, especially her blushing face. I really wanted to kiss her. But both of them hadn't seen each other for several years. It was obviously too abrupt to do that. From the conversation between Meng Ling and Manager Tian just now, we can guess that Meng Ling is still single now. But Xu Tao really doesn't know whether she has a boyfriend. In addition, he still can't figure out whether Meng Ling is thinking about each other like him.

At this time, Meng Ling sighed quietly and said, "Xiao Tao. You gave me so much money. I don't know when I can pay you back."

Xu Tao frowned and said, "Why should I pay it back? My aunt is like my mother. I have never had the opportunity to be filial to her a few years ago. Now I treat her illness. How can I ask you to pay me back again?"

Meng Ling's face turned red again. Xu Tao called her mother for her mother. This inevitably made her think of another meaning. She whispered: "That's not OK. It's not easy for you to make money. How could I use your money like this?"

"I'm really angry if you say that." Xu Tao frowned even more.

Meng Ling suddenly became a little panicked and whispered: "But..."

"Hmm?" Xu Tao pinched Meng Ling's little hand hard, and Meng Ling immediately stopped, but the eyes flashed, which made people feel pity.

Xu Tao smiled again and said softly: "I not only want my aunt to live in the best ward, but also hire the best doctor for her. There are still some treatments for cancer now, and I believe my aunt will definitely get better."

"Xiao Tao..." Meng Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and she was choking and unable to speak. Seeing Xu Tao coming to help, she felt like she had a backbone, but she didn't expect that Xu Tao was still her support. She solved all the things she had worried about during this period.

"You must be very hard during this period. You will not have such a life again in the future. Believe me." Xu Tao gently put his arms around Meng Ling's shoulder.

Meng Ling looked up at Xu Tao's firm face, and suddenly threw herself into Xu Tao's arms, hugged Xu Tao's waist tightly, and started crying.

Xu Tao also hugged Meng Ling tightly. Although he knew that Meng Ling was grateful to her now and was also a kind of venting caused by suppressing her for too long, the idea of ​​holding Meng Ling had been thinking about it in his heart for many years. This day finally came true, but Xu Tao felt very distressed when he saw Meng Ling like this.

Fortunately, this is the special care ward area, and there are no idle people coming and going. Only a few nurses patrolled back and forth between the wards from time to time. However, when they saw the two hugging each other, no one came to disturb them.

Meng Ling's crying was out of control. In front of her mother, she kept smiling hard in order to fear that her mother would be sad. But the depression and sorrow were all accumulated in her heart. She almost couldn't breathe. Now she finally had a chance to vent. It was like a flood breaking through the dam and could no longer be controlled.

Xu Tao could only hold Meng Ling tightly, and felt even more guilty. It was because he didn't look for Meng Ling directly, which made her suffer so much. If she came to Liao City, she wouldn't have to bear all this. And the little girl in her childhood has become so weak now, which makes Xu Tao feel extremely distressed.

After a while, Meng Ling's crying became weaker and weaker, and finally she fell asleep in Xu Tao's arms.

Xu Tao carefully picked Meng Ling up and took her to the bed next to her mother in the ward. She sat beside the bed and looked at Meng Ling quietly.

Meng Ling's eyes were tear marks, her face was a little pale, but her sleeping posture was peaceful. Such a weak girl was originally used to care for and love, but she had to use her thin shoulders to support this family, and she was afraid she would suffer much more than others.

"I will never let you suffer any more in the future." Xu Tao reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Meng Ling's eyes, and his heart was extremely tender.

After walking out of the ward, Xu Tao called out another phone call, and the other party quickly answered.

"Tim, I'm Xu Tao. I have something to bother you." Xu Tao said to the other party in fluent English.

The man on the phone seemed particularly excited when he heard Xu Tao's voice, and immediately said loudly: "Ah! My old friend, I really didn't expect you to call me. If you have anything, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

"My friend's mother has uterine cancer and is now in her late stages. No matter how much the price is, I want to cure her."

"My old friend, I dare not say that I am 100% sure about this. Sometimes it depends on luck to treat cancer, but I will definitely do my best. Tomorrow, no... I will book a plane ticket later. It just so happens that I have two friends here with me, so I will ask them to go together, so I will be more confident."

"Well...no problem, tell them, I will pay them more."

"Old friend, you're so kind. I'll almost arrive tomorrow afternoon. I'll call you after it arrives."

After Xu Tao hung up the phone, he found that the two nurses in the corridor were looking at him in surprise, so he smiled at them and walked back to the ward.

"Wow! English is so fluent, so awesome." A young nurse aimed at the ward and was extremely surprised. Although learning English in school is more important than Chinese in his own country, if she wants to speak such fluent English, there are probably not many.

"If I hadn't seen someone, I would have thought he was a foreigner. He wouldn't be a returnee, right?" Another young nurse's eyes shone. "Ha... Looking at your gaze, it's like spring. If you like someone, go chase him. I haven't seen those movies. Do men like uniform controls? The nurse's costume is very popular with men."

"Aren't you also a nurse, why don't you go? But we don't have any hope. Haven't you seen how tight he hugged that woman just now? I really envy that woman for finding such a boyfriend."

"I heard that the girl's mother had been in the ordinary ward and could not pay the hospitalization fee. Today I went straight to this place. If this man was really her boyfriend, why didn't she get her mother here earlier?"

"You are idiots. They are returnees, maybe they just came back. They used to be couples, but now they finally look forward to their boyfriend's return."

"Ha... Then don't think about it even more. That girl is so beautiful and she is also very gentle and weak. It makes men feel distressed at first glance. Even if we wear nurse uniforms, we are afraid there is no temptation."

The two young nurses walked back to the nurse's room with laughter and continued to discuss how they used the nurse's uniform to seduce men.

Meng Ling's mother was drowsy all day long, and she woke up from time to time. When Xu Tao came in, she woke up and raised her thin hand and waved Xu Tao. Xu Tao hurried over.

"Xiao Tao, is this the money you... paid to your aunt?"

Xu Tao held Meng Ling's mother's hand and said softly: "Yes, aunt, you can rest assured. I have found you the best doctor in the world. He will come to see you soon, and your illness will be cured soon."

Meng Ling's mother smiled far-fetchedly and said, "Xiao Tao, you have really troubled. How can you not know about my aunt's own illness? I am just worried now... Maomao, this child has just sent her father away for a short time and wants to send me away again. Her personality is getting weaker and weaker. I am afraid that after I leave... she will not be able to stand it."

"Auntie, don't think too much, you will definitely be fine. Besides, with me here, I will not let Maomao suffer any more. I will definitely take good care of her."

"Good child, it's not in vain that I love you for your little wait. My aunt asked you... Are you married now?"

"No."

"Then how do you feel about Maomao?"

Xu Tao looked back at Meng Ling who was still sleeping. Her delicate body shouldn't have been under such great pressure. She turned around and said without hesitation: "Aunt, I have been thinking about Maomao for so many years. When I came to Liao City, I just came to find her."
