That is, there have long been rumors that Senior Brother Ren returned to China for a period of time early and helped Mr. Zhang to treat Teacher Lu on a certain island. How could he not know how serious Teacher Lu's condition was.

Accordingly, Wu Lixuan secretly looked at the two female doctors. She had something to ask but did not dare to ask loudly.

The other members of the National Association were talking louder and louder in the courtyard, as if they were all recalling why the patient died suddenly that day.

"The teacher has a heart disease. Zhang Huayao and Guozhi did it on purpose, right? They deliberately refused to treat the teacher's heart disease?"

"With Zhang Huayao's ability as an authority in cardiology, would it be easy for him to completely cure the teacher's heart disease?"

"Why didn't he treat it?"

"Is it because the teacher's bone metastasis has spread throughout the body?"

Is that so? Wu Lixuan looked at Fa Xiao, a doctor, with saliva in her eyes.

Xie Wanying first explained clearly to Fa Xiao, who was not a medical student, that this was definitely not intentional to let people die.

To put it simply, Mr. Zhang chose a technical hospice care.

For those terminally ill patients who have no way to cure their diseases, sometimes the treatment does not have any effect and instead becomes a kind of pain that the patient suffers before death. Therefore, medicine begins to pay more attention to the patient's quality of life at the end of life before death.

It is not just about treating diseases, but providing palliative care at the request of the patient instead of taking active treatment. This is called hospice care. It can be said that hospice care is the embodiment of the scientific spirit of medicine.

Patients who have bone metastasis spread throughout the body are in great pain. They will not have time to wait until the cancer takes away their lives. The pain will be so painful that they would rather die every day. In the end, all kinds of painkillers will be ineffective. Therefore, some patients even travel all the way abroad to seek legal treatment.

euthanasia.

As a medical expert, Teacher Lu had thought from the very beginning that he might have such a day. He didn’t want to be cured, and he didn’t want to be tortured by the disease like his husband before he died.

As a medical person who has spent most of his life, he died at the hands of a disease so without dignity, so he might as well die as soon as possible.

For this reason, it was the first surgery and everyone tried to persuade Teacher Lu for a long time.

Therefore, rather than saying it was Mr. Zhang’s choice, it was more likely to be Mr. Lu’s own wishes and entrustment to his son.

Not completely treating the patient's heart disease, respecting the patient's wishes, not letting the patient endure the risks and pain of surgery, and adopting palliative care, ultimately allowing the patient to die peacefully and naturally in his sleep, while avoiding the end-stage cancer life that is worse than death. This

This is the only thing Zhang, the son of a cardiologist, can do to help his mother.

From this point of view, Mr. Zhang did not do anything wrong to the patient.

What the National Association people cannot accept is:

"Zhang Huayao should have told us earlier, why didn't he?!"

Mr. Zhang, who was complained by the National Association, remained silent.

The people of Guozhi naturally feel guilty for their leaders and themselves.

In fact, it must be that Mr. Zhang is disgusted by the National Association on weekdays. It doesn't matter to him to say it, but the patient won't let him say it.

Many members of the National Association have deep regrets about Teacher Zhang Yuqing during his treatment. To be honest, it is very difficult for them to adopt the same surrender strategy to death as they did to Teacher Zhang Yuqing.

Teacher Lu knew that these students from the National Association could not accept her choice, so it was best not to say it at all.

In any case, this ending makes it even more unbearable for the people of the National Association. After all, everyone has already thought about it and thought about it:

"I have already planned that if Teacher Lu is admitted to the hospital for treatment one day, I will be sure to stay by her bedside during her last days."

It's just that Teacher Lu is such a good person, she would never let her students do such a thing for her, and would rather die suddenly to avoid causing trouble to the students.

Thinking of this, the whole place was silent, and everyone's heart and lungs were torn. For example, Li Xiaobing cried more and more. Yu's father cried and fainted again.

Liu Jingyun was worried to death for the second junior sister.

Everyone analyzed that Mr. Zhang deliberately helped his mother hide it, and those who helped Mr. Zhang conceal it would most likely be complained by those who did not want to be concealed.

It just so happened that He Xiangyu went to Guozhi and was specifically responsible for Teacher Lu's pathology report. This is equivalent to saying that she helped Mr. Zhang conceal part of the truth. This is unquestionable and ironclad evidence. Everyone in the Guoxie knew this.

Picking up the phone, turning her back to everyone, she dialed the second junior sister again. Liu Jingyun asked, "Are you here, Xiangyu?"

"I'll come back when they're almost gone," He Xiangyu said.

"Are you crying? I hear your voice is hoarse."

Speaking of the level of sadness, Xie Wanying believes that the second senior sister is definitely no less than the others, and the second senior sister herself once said that she went to work in Guozhi just to do her part in Teacher Lu's matter.

Later, when Dean Wu, Dean Liang and other senior leaders arrived, everyone stopped discussing in public.

Night falls, fast forward to late night, half past ten at night.

He Xiangyu drove to the funeral home.

At this time, as she expected, there were very few cars left at the gate and in the nearby parking lot, and most of the guests had already left.

I probably couldn't run into anyone anymore, so I got out of the car decisively and ran into the museum with my bag in hand, fearing that I wouldn't be able to catch up.

When he arrived at the door of the auditorium, he received a call from the senior sister. He Xiangyu held the cell phone between her neck and chin while talking on the phone.

"Xiangyu, have you gone? Today is the last day to say goodbye to the teacher, you have to go." Liu Jingyun urged her, worried that she would regret it for the rest of her life if she didn't go.

"I'm here, Senior Sister." He Xiangyu said, taking out the wrapped red envelope from the bag with the other hand and placing it on the table at the door, preparing to register and enter the auditorium to pay homage.

"Let me tell you, I heard them say that Senior Brother Tao hasn't left yet -" Liu Jingyun added, knowing who she didn't want to see the most.

Ah? He Xiangyu was startled, turned around quickly, and glanced towards the room, capturing that familiar figure without any error.

He stood in front of the teacher's deceased photo, as if he had turned into a stone statue. He had maintained this posture for an unknown period of time.

He Xiangyu felt that his heart was being cut inch by inch.

"Doctor He is here." Someone saw her and greeted her.

This voice made Tao Zhijie, who was standing there, narrow his eyes slightly.

Bite the bullet, He Xiangyu walked into the auditorium and bowed three times in front of the teacher's photo. After the third bow, she couldn't lift herself up for a long time, and saw that he was standing next to her without moving even half a step.

The apex of her heart suddenly accelerated and trembled, and an intuition seemed to tell her: He was standing here without leaving, perhaps just to wait for her to arrive.

"Xiangyu, let's go out and have a chat."

He spoke, calling her by name directly for the first time.

He Xiangyu slowly straightened up, breathing rapidly involuntarily.

"Take two deep breaths."

He spoke to her in a doctor's tone just like last time.

He Xiangyu wanted to raise her hand and slap her face twice: It's so embarrassing.

Turn around and follow him to the yard outside.

The two of them walked all the way to the foot of the century-old tree in the corner of the yard.

There is almost no light shining in here, and the moon tonight is hidden in the dark clouds. This is best, He Xiangyu thought, no one can see her embarrassment.

It is enough to see that he is really a considerate and gentle person. Teacher Lu said that he is a man who is as careful as his hair.

In the pitch-black night, her eyes struggled to vaguely identify his appearance not far away.

The profile of his face exposed to her was looking up, looking up at the big tree and the night sky. His silent posture was the same as in the auditorium just now, as if he was talking to the teacher in heaven.

Did he and the teacher say something in their minds? She guessed, but she couldn't figure it out. His handsome face was so blurry in the night that she couldn't see clearly or touch it.

Looking back, like most people, she never wanted to understand his thoughts, otherwise she wouldn't have said that he was an inscrutable Buddha.

In the silence, I heard his gentle voice speaking: "I heard that Dr. Li proposed to you."

She didn't expect that the first thing he was going to say to her would be this, and He Xiangyu's face turned pale.

"Dr. Li is a very good person and understands you very well." Tao Zhijie said.

"Me, and him -" He Xiangyu's lips were parted because she didn't know what she was supposed to say, and what he said completely confused her.

"I don't know you."

When he finally uttered these words, a thunder struck down, splitting her in half on the spot.

Yes, he couldn't understand why, despite his repeated requests to explore, she continued to hide it from him and stood in Zhang Huayao's camp from beginning to end.

The life partner he imagined was not like this. At least he would choose to trust him and tell him privately that he believed in his ability to handle everything. How could he love someone or like someone without even a little trust in him?

Even junior sister Xie Wanying will reveal some information to comfort others when she is in contact with others, instead of being completely silent like her and only knowing how to avoid, with a guilty conscience.

Even if you are avoiding it, please learn from Junior Sister Xie's example. If you are so smart that you become stupid, you will take the initiative to show off. This can show that you have always cared about our feelings. Refer to the incident of Junior Sister Xie's cousin seeking medical treatment.

No wonder everyone believed that she was a traitor to the National Association and was loyal to Boss Zhang, so she was able to work with Boss Zhang to achieve seamless results.

(Xie Wanying: After all, I have been reborn and suffered some losses, so I know how to behave in the world. Senior Brother Tao, you use my standards to hold the Second Senior Sister to my standards. In fact, her soul is much younger than mine. This——)

"Senior Brother Tao, I, I -" He Xiangyu could hardly take a breath. She was not what he thought. She could swear that she had always cared about what he and the teachers of the National Association thought of her. His mind

Just think about it and you will know how she could not care about what he thinks.

It can be said that the ideas in the two people's minds lack a path that can communicate unimpeded.

As he said, he doesn't understand her and can't understand her.

The purpose of talking to her today was to give the teacher an explanation. As a Tao student, he tried hard, but unfortunately, even with his gold medal teaching ability, he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking.

After looking away from the night sky, Tao Zhijie turned around and walked back to the auditorium.

He Xiangyu's whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
