Chapter 985 -987: Thoroughly Cleansed and Composed (Two in One)

The man’s words were spoken calmly, perhaps even with a touch of embarrassment.

But for others, the impact on their souls was incomparable.

As calm as he was, others were equally shocked.

The man’s last name was Luo, named Luo Ming, and he was 36 years old, working as an advertising planner at an internet company in the capital.

His mother had been greatly affected after his father’s death three years ago. At that time, Luo Ming was busy with work, had just married, was starting his career, his wife was in confinement after childbirth, and his child had just been born; all these responsibilities suddenly piled up on Luo Ming.

Zhang Lianhua was very understanding of her son, and every time Luo Ming visited her, she reassured him with a smiling face that everything was alright.

She often told him how important it is for a woman to be well taken care of during confinement.

Luo Ming had decided to take his mother away, but Zhang Lianhua outright refused.

“I wouldn’t be good there; during the confinement period, the most important thing for a woman is to have peace of mind, otherwise she might get postpartum depression.”

“If I go there, either she’ll criticize me or I’ll criticize her, and you’ll be stuck in the middle. It’s better this way, I’ll pay for a month’s nurse who can take care of her along with your mother-in-law; it will also be more convenient.”

Actually, Zhang Lianhua was quite tactful, this combination punch made Luo Ming’s wife and her family happy.

But at that time, Zhang Lianhua slowly developed Alzheimer’s, also known as Alzheimer’s disease.

This frightened Zhang Lianhua; suddenly she couldn’t remember many things, and this sharp-witted accountant realized she was ill.

She went to the hospital alone for a diagnosis and was told it was the early manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease.

At that moment, Zhang Lianhua was truly frightened.

Upon returning home, she didn’t tell her children but started to tidy up the house, listing all the things she needed to arrange for the future while her memory was still good; she wrote them all down in a notebook.

Otherwise, what would she do if she completely forgot?

After completing this task, Zhang Lianhua began preparing the photo albums, developing all the old photos and placing them into albums.

Every day, she made a list for herself, reviewed it each morning, and the first name on the list was, “My son is called Luo Ming.”

She kept a photo of her son by her bedside, saw it first thing every morning, to ensure she wouldn’t forget him.

Frankly speaking, the person she was most attached to in her life was her son.

Luo Ming gradually noticed that his mother was changing, forgetting many things.

Every time he visited, she still smiled and cooked his favorite pork strips, but… she had forgotten that she rarely ate greasy food since her acute gallbladder attack.

Gradually, his mother forgot more and more things.

Forgetting the disappearance of his father was actually a relief; at least she wasn’t grieving every day. Instead, she told Luo Ming that his father was on a business trip, which she said all year round.

She forgot her own age, even began to forget some recently met neighbors…

…

Gradually, she also forgot her present self!

It was then Luo Ming realized how serious his mother’s dementia had become.

When he found out his mother still remembered him from his high school days, he was overjoyed and bought a school uniform online to wear when he visited her.

He found that his mother really still remembered him.

She showed him photos from the album, “Look, this is you at 13… this is you at 15… this is you at 17…”

He suddenly realized that the rebellious him, after graduating from high school, had all his photos stayed only in his QQ space, not in his mother’s thick album.

He was tremendously regretful.

Therefore, he began to make more time to see her, to keep her company.

Zhang Ailian had two mobile phones, one a smartphone and the other a basic phone for seniors.

Because of her dementia, when she went out with her smartphone, it always attracted thieves, so she kept it at home to video call her son.

When going out, she would take the senior phone, which only had a few contacts.

And every time Luo Ming video called with his mother, he had to put on his school uniform.

At the beginning, he felt uneasy.

But gradually, he became his mother’s emotional crutch.

By then, he dared not escape!

He also knew he couldn’t escape!

He began to slowly get used to and adapt to this condition, no matter if people ridiculed him, it didn’t matter.

Because in his eyes, what could the mockery of these strangers do?

He slowly began to accept it calmly.

Thinking of his mother’s hand, Luo Ming was extremely worried.

This time, concerning his mother’s hand, Luo Ming also firmed up his inner thoughts, he wanted to stay with her, not knowing how much longer she had, but… Luo Ming feared that one day his mother might even forget him in high school.

“Dr. Chen, can my mother’s hand recover?” After a long time, Luo Ming couldn’t help but ask, his heart extremely troubled.

Chen Cang, to tell the truth, was truly moved by Luo Ming’s story.

Others might be okay, not having witnessed Luo Ming’s moment on the subway.

But Chen Cang had witnessed it himself, he watched this middle-aged man face the ridicule and questioning of the public, still being able to appear as if nothing was amiss, chatting with his mother.

Talking about absurd things!

Such as scoring first in a test, such as a teacher praising that he could be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University.

Facing the strange gazes of those around him, Chen Cang truly admired this man.

What is a man?

Perhaps, this is what a man truly is!

The tree wishes to remain still but the wind keeps blowing, children want to support their parents who cannot wait.

Luo Ming didn’t care about their gossip, he had his priorities.

Chen Cang nodded firmly, “I will definitely cure your mother’s hand!”

Luo Ming quickly grasped Chen Cang’s hand gratefully, “Thank you, Dr. Chen!”

Chen Cang shook his head, a phrase in his heart unspoken: Thank you.

The matter of those four children dividing the family assets the day before yesterday had caused Chen Cang some trouble, but the appearance of Luo Ming made him believe that this world is full of good people and even more positive energy!

Following that, Luo Ming wore his school uniform into the ward while Chen Cang briefly handled some matters, waiting for the results of the physical and chemical tests to come out to quickly carry out the surgery.

Soon after, Chen Cang also began to organize the surgery.

…

…

At this moment, in the hand surgery office, Director Huang Hao was handing over duties, it was a busy morning with major rounds.

At that time, the nurse on duty outside ran in, “Director Huang, the emergency department six has a patient who needs surgery because their hand was pierced by an iron bar.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Hao furrowed his brow and nodded, “Who is on duty today?”

A young doctor stood up and said, “Director Huang, I’m on duty, I’ll go now.”

After saying this, the man prepared to leave.

Long before Dr. Chen brought back the patient, the emergency department had already prepared for coordination consult and surgery.

However, Dr. Chen reported back that he could handle it himself.

So, at this moment, the phone rang again, and a young nurse came in and said, “Director Huang, the emergency department said that consult surgery is no longer needed, Dr. Chen Cang can finish it.”

Upon hearing the name Chen Cang, the room suddenly fell silent!

The name Chen Cang might not have made a mark anywhere else.

But in the ears of this head of hand surgery, Huang Hao, the name Chen Cang was a legend.

Especially after the news of the establishment of the Tendon Recovery Center came out, Huang Hao and Gu Hongmei had met, and naturally, they had heard about Chen Cang.

But Huang Hao really couldn’t find a suitable reason.

Now he had one!

Huang Hao quickly said, “This patient’s matter is more important, I won’t make rounds this morning, I’ll do it tomorrow, I’m heading to surgery!”

The nurse beside him whispered, “Director… you have outpatient clinic tomorrow…”

Huang Hao paused, “Oh… then, I’ll make rounds the day after tomorrow!”

After speaking, he got up and headed downstairs.

Compared to getting to know Chen Cang better, making rounds was trivial.

…

…

Huang Hao hurried downstairs and went straight to the office after arriving at the emergency department.

Just as the emergency department had just changed shifts, Yu Yonggang was momentarily startled upon seeing Huang Hao enter.

Despite the saying “colleagues are competitors,” Yu Yonggang and Huang Hao also had their story.

When Yu Yonggang first came to the emergency center, he actually wanted to do orthopedics, which was also Huang Hao’s specialty. However, compared to professional knowledge, Yu Yonggang was slightly inferior.

Huang Hao with superior skills became the head of orthopedics!

Later, as the hospital developed and started performing precise surgeries, Huang Hao then set up the external surgery team and also became the vice president of the hospital.

So, the two were old rivals, but they also operated frequently, the matter was merely gossip fodder.

“Director Huang is here?” Yu Yonggang smiled.

Huang Hao nodded, “Yeah, I heard that a patient came in needing surgery, so I came down to check.”

Hearing this, Yu Yonggang oh-ed meaningfully…

“Chen, come here for a moment,” Yu Yonggang felt a bit more relieved inside.

“I’ll introduce you, this is the director of external surgery, Director Huang, during your surgery later, take good care of Director Huang, I won’t be there, you guys do well.”

Chen Cang, seeing the demeanor of the two, immediately grasped some of the implications.

He couldn’t help but cough, “I should be learning from Director Huang.”

Yu Yonggang turned and suddenly hmmed, “That’s true, Director Huang is a senior, it wouldn’t be right for you to outpace him, yes, learn well from Director Huang.”

Huang Hao, seeing Yu Yonggang’s demeanor, couldn’t help but feel speechless.

This Yu Yonggang really held grudges!

Was this taking the opportunity to get his words in?

Huang Hao couldn’t help shaking his head, “Director Yu, I envy you, finding such a good talent!”

“Now I regret it, if only I had come to be the director of the emergency department when you became the head of orthopedics, that would have been great!”

These words made Yu Yonggang instantly feel comfortable, releasing tensions that had built up over ten years.

Actually, there was no real grudge between Yu Yonggang and Huang Hao, they often operated together, it was just a verbal sparring.

The trivial matters from ten years ago had long been forgotten.

Now, it was just a joke between them.

Hearing Huang Hao say so, Yu Yonggang was extremely pleased.

He patted Chen Cang’s shoulder, earnestly saying, “Director Huang has a very high level of skill in orthopedics, learn well from him!”

After saying this, he happily turned and left.

Huang Hao couldn’t help but inwardly sneer, “Tsk tsk, hasn’t changed a bit, still as naive as a soldier, won over by a few nice words!”

Huang Hao quickly smiled and said, “Chen, Director Chang Honglei and I often mention you, saying your ‘Chen’ technique is very useful and all, I’ve got to see it in action today!”

Chen Cang laughed when he heard it, “Director Huang, you flatter me. We all have our strengths, and it’s a mutual learning process.”

At that time, the various test results had come out, and the operating room had also called to say they were ready.

Luo Ming hurriedly wheeled his mother out.

Zhang Lianhua was overjoyed to be accompanied by her son, and she thought to herself, love is the most effective painkiller.

“Mom, don’t be afraid. The doctor will just pull out the stick, and it’ll be okay.”

Zhang Lianhua didn’t want her son to worry and couldn’t help saying, “Hmm, mom’s fine, don’t worry about me. You focus on your studies. Once mom is better, I’ll make you shredded meat strips!”

Watching this scene, Huang Hao was stunned as well.

He glanced over, puzzled, and asked quietly, “Alzheimer’s?”

Chen Cang nodded, “I’ll tell you about it later.”

Nurse Yang Jie wheeled the patient into the operating room. Meanwhile, as they were moving forward, Luo Ming pulled a stack of money, about two thousand or so, from his pocket to stuff it into Chen Cang’s pocket.

Chen Cang quickly said, “Brother Luo, you shouldn’t do this. I respect your integrity, and we will definitely try our best during the surgery, don’t worry!”

“Keep the money for your aunt; buy her some food and drink.”

After saying that, he walked towards the operating room with Huang Hao.

In the changing room, Chen Cang detailed everything about Luo Ming’s situation.

After hearing it, Huang Hao was also suddenly stunned.

It was incredibly hard for a middle-aged man to make such a childish and even laughable act.

Huang Hao couldn’t help saying, “Well… let’s do a good job in the surgery! This society has a lot of positive energy! Sometimes, a hospital is really a magical place. It has the harsh realities, the quest for fame and fortune, but more often, it’s the genuine emotional touches.”

“Do you know why we cry when we’re touched?”

Huang Hao asked with a smile.

Chen Cang was taken aback, “Why?”

Huang Hao said with a smile, “Because the eyes, like the soul, need to wash away the grime!”

“There’s a saying, isn’t there? We must cleanse ourselves of all superficiality and remain composed. When faced with fame and fortune, we must not let it blind us. That’s why we need the tears of being touched to cleanse our eyes.”

Huang Hao’s words made a lot of sense, and Chen Cang nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment, he couldn’t help but comment, “Director Huang is quite eloquent.”

Huang Hao smiled, “When you’ve been in administration for a long time, you have to learn this kind of talk. Yu Yonggang, being a military doctor, wouldn’t say such things.”

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Just as Yu Yonggang was about to head to the clinic, he suddenly sneezed and muttered, “Has the weather changed? I need to change my clothes…”

Huang Hao couldn’t help saying, “Actually, you can learn a lot from Old Yu. I’ve been following you for quite a while, but I know your heart isn’t in this. You still want to work in emergency, stick with Old Yu and do your best.”

Chen Cang nodded, “Yes, thank you, Director Huang.”

The two smiled and walked towards the operating room.

…

…

P.S.: The inspiration for this story came from a public service advertisement, and I was deeply moved when I came across it in many micro-videos. I adapted it, just like Huang Hao said, hoping to cleanse myself of superficiality and remain serene, as life also needs to be touched.

I hope that when everyone finishes this novel, they feel more than just an emptiness inside.

Just like the veteran writer stated at the beginning of the preface, I hope this book, through various medical stories, allows readers to experience the vicissitudes of life, whether it inspires, moves, or provokes thought.

This is largely what literature is about.

Lastly, I hope everyone supports the veteran writer. My performance has been really poor recently… I’m asking for subscriptions, support for the genuine version, and monthly tickets.

Going all out, for every additional 500 monthly tickets, I’ll add a chapter! There’s no cap! Starting now from 4500.

Asking for monthly tickets, I want to burst update!
