Chapter 4 head love
The intensive care unit of the hospital is on the top floor.Even the staff in the hospital are very reluctant to come to this floor.Everyone, as soon as they step out of the elevator, will naturally feel extremely uncomfortable, feel the shadow of death, wandering around, ready to be hooded down at any time, and life will be snatched away.
The entire top floor makes people feel like being in the boundary between life and death, with life on one side and death on the other.However, there is no one who can escape the call of death.Every day, patients are covered with a white cloth, pushed by the staff, through the elevator, to the mortuary on the lowest floor of the hospital. By then, the patient is no longer a patient, but a corpse.
Even the most experienced medical staff are afraid to see the corpses of those who died of various cancers. Cancer cells are viciously gnawing at the patient's life, devouring the patient's blood and flesh. A bone cancer The patient weighed 70 kilograms when he was admitted to the hospital. A few months later, when he was covered with a white cloth and pushed into the mortuary, he could only have 35 kilograms left. Life and flesh and blood were swallowed by cancer cells together. As soon as cancer cells spread, life disappears.
Since cancer has become more and more common, scientists all over the world are concentrating on researching this disease, but so far, there is still no way to control it, cure it, and even find out its cause!
Therefore, in hospitals all over the world, it is unknown how many people lose their lives due to cancer every day.And on the top floor of this large-scale hospital, because the patients are all cancer patients with no hope of recovery, it also looks particularly gloomy.
This extreme sense of gloom, of course, is psychological.In fact, even at night, the corridors are brightly lit, and the white floor and white walls should give people a sense of brightness.However, as soon as anyone enters this corridor, they will feel eerie.
There are a total of twenty-four wards on the top floor, all of which are single rooms. The charges of this hospital are quite expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to live in them. The patients in these twenty-four wards are either rich or expensive, and they all have ways people.But cancer cells seem to ignore people's status and wealth. The poor will get cancer, and the rich will get cancer too. In order to minimize the pain of the patient.
That night, in the middle of the corridor, in the duty room facing the elevator, as usual, four night shift nurses were on duty.The night shift nurse on duty has always been used to keeping the door of the duty room open.In that way, the psychological fear can be alleviated. If the door is closed, the people in the room will feel the weight of death psychologically as if they are also in the ward.
That night, among the four nurses in the duty room, two had just graduated from nursing school and had just started working. Their interest and enthusiasm were higher than that of Sister Shen, who had been engaged in this work for 20 years. much.Sister Shen is a very experienced nurse. She is forty-five years old and has never been married. She has a weird temper and looks a little indifferent to everything.
At this time, Yu Lian, a very fit and cheerful twenty-seven-year-old girl who looked more like a nurse than an athlete, was walking in from the corridor and sighed to Sister Shen who was knitting a sweater: Ward No. 12 Mr. Lang, I'm afraid it won't be three days!
The two young nurses let out a sound that sounded like a sigh, but Sister Shen didn't seem to hear it at all.Yu Lian sighed again: He is so young, only thirty-two years old
Sister Shen's voice was a bit cold: People are going to die, even at the age of twelve, and you mentioned too much about the patients in Ward No. 12!
Yu Lian was secretly taken aback.She just left Ward No. 12. The patient in Ward No. 12 had bone cancer of the spine and was admitted to the hospital four months ago.When he was admitted to the hospital, he still walked in by himself, laughing loudly, although his complexion looked a little pale, but full of confidence.He has thick eyebrows, a high nose, and a strong figure.When Yu Lian saw this patient for the first time, because of the other person's eyes, lingering on her full and plump breasts, it even made her heart beat for a while.
Yu Lian was thinking, did I mention too much about the patients in Ward No. 12?Didn't she try her best not to let anyone in the hospital know, why would Sister Shen still say that?
Must have unconsciously said too much!
Yu Lian felt sad for a while, and she tried her best to hold back the tears, so that the tears only swirled in her eyes and did not fall.Moreover, when she was surprised in her heart, she had already turned her head away.
But at this moment, she still heard Sister Shen let out an almost cruel sneer.
That sneer didn't surprise Yu Lian any more, but instead made her puff her chest out, thinking in her heart: Even if Big Sister Shen knew about it, it would be nothing. If the people in the hospital knew about it, it would be nothing. People all over the world I know it all, and it’s nothing!
What does it matter?He only has three days to live!
In Yu Lian's heart, he was Lang Yingsheng, a patient in Ward No. 12.
When Lang Yingsheng was admitted to the hospital on the first day, the way he looked at Yu Lian made Yu Lian blush and her heart beat.The person who accompanied him into the hospital that day was a middle-aged man who looked very dignified but full of anxiety.Afterwards, Yu Lian knew that it was Lang Yingsheng's father, a banker with great achievements in his career.There are also three famous orthopedic surgeons, one of whom was specially invited back from the United States.
Lang Yingsheng looked very optimistic. When he entered the ward, he still said loudly: Whatever you say, I don't believe that I will die soon!Do I look like a dying person?
While talking, he still didn't forget to wink playfully at Yu Lian. His eyes seemed to be intentional or unintentional, and he looked at Yu Lian's towering chest, which made Yu Lian's heart beat for a while.
From the age of fifteen, Yu Lian knew that her development was much better than girls of the same age.That pair of plump and straight breasts had caused her a lot of trouble. She had to deliberately tighten them up with a bust size two sizes smaller, and sometimes she had to deliberately bend her back to make her breasts look less Shrugging.This kind of trouble didn't exist anymore until she finished middle school and everyone recognized her as a big girl with an extremely fit body.
However, since then, there are many men's greedy eyes. Yu Lian is used to it, but even she doesn't know why. Twice, when Lang Yingsheng cast such eyes on her, her heart would beat so violently.
Yu Lian is a fit and cheerful girl, but when it comes to her attitude towards the opposite sex, she has always been very conservative.Two years ago, a young intern started dating her, and she also regarded him as her only boyfriend, but for more than a year, the relationship between her and him was nothing more than a light touch of the lips.Once, the intern murmured his praises to her, and when Yu Lian was intoxicated, he put his hand in through her skirt.
When his hands touched her breasts, the two of them vibrated together. He had never touched such firm, so elastic, so smooth, so plump breasts.And she has never been touched by the opposite sex.
But what happened next was not like the normal young men and women in love, who should develop after such an action, but Yu Lian pushed him away hard.Moreover, I ignored him from now on, and this relationship came to an end.
Yu Lian once asked herself: Why is this happening?She is by no means innately resistant to the opposite sex.Twenty-seven years old, I have too many fantasies about the opposite sex.Sometimes, fancy thoughts will make her blush and heartbeat, but in real life, she still firmly resists the pursuit of the opposite sex.
She actually understands, that's because she won't be satisfied with just a random opposite sex, what she wants is a man she loves.
Perhaps she was too demanding, so she never appeared in front of her.
However, why did Lang Yingsheng's gaze make her feel so uneasy?There is really no reason for this.
In particular, after the admission procedures were completed, the dean also came. In the duty room, when the doctor, the dean, and Lang Yingsheng's father were discussing Lang Yingsheng's condition in a low and hurried tone, Yu Lian also heard some snippets.
The attending doctor sighed: We will definitely try our best, but our efforts may not be able to undo the terrible fact.
The worried father's voice was hoarse: I agree to try all new drugs and new treatment methods. Anyway, there is no hope, so I have to try!
Several doctors looked at each other without making a sound. After a while, one of them said: Mr. Lang, don't worry, even if the matter is really irreparable, we will minimize his pain and leave this world peacefully.
The all-powerful tycoon in the banking world seemed to have tears in his eyes.After they left, Yu Lian secretly asked Sister Shen: Where did the patient in Ward No. 12 get cancer?
Sister Shen said coldly: Spine.
Yu Lian took a deep breath. It took less than a year for the bone cancer of the spine to take a person's life from being discovered!
Yu Lian thought at that time: What a pity, such a young, handsome and upright person who looks so lovable, will suffer from all kinds of cancer and pass away in less than a year!
When Yu Lian was thinking this way, she never thought that things would happen so quickly, and that she would have such a deep relationship with herself!
Most of the critically ill patients were accompanied by their family members in the ward, but Lang Yingsheng did not.
After entering the ward, Lang Yingsheng never came out. Yu Lian was in charge of taking care of No. 12 ward. At that time, Lang Yingsheng was only injected with a light dose of analgesic, and it took three days before he received radiation therapy.
That night, at ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Lian made a routine rounds of the ward, injected the patient, and took care of the patient's medication.When she opened the door of Ward No. 12, she saw Lang Yingsheng was painting, and when he turned his head to see her, he turned the drawing paper upside down.
Yu Lian maintained the smile required by her profession. Her kind of smile is really very sweet, and it can make people's heart skip a beat, but at this moment, she seems to intentionally make herself look sweeter.
Lang Yingsheng looked at her in a daze, and Yu Lian said something casually: Mr. Lang, is there no one to accompany you?If you are not used to the food in the hospital, you can give a special order, come, and get the injection first.
She reached out and grabbed Lang Yingsheng's hand, trying to lift his arm and place it on a small cushion so that an intravenous injection could be administered.
But just as her hand touched his, Lang Yingsheng suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled it hard. This unexpected action made Yu Lian lose her focus all of a sudden. fell into his arms.When she wanted to struggle or call out, Lang Yingsheng's arm was so strong, holding her so tightly.And when Lang Yingsheng's hot lips touched hers, her whole body was so soft that she didn't have any strength at all. On the contrary, she felt that the other party's hug was not strong enough. That feeling made her naturally put her body against her. to him.
At that moment, she just felt drowsy. When she finally woke up from the drowsiness, before she pushed him away, he had already let go of his arms, stood up, and said: They said I was dying, I have never believed it, and after I saw you, I even less believed that I would die!
When he said that, his expression and voice sounded so sincere and moving, enough to touch any girl's heart.But then, he blinked mischievously, and said: "However, I would also like to say that I am a dying person. Since I am dying, I can't waste time, so I suddenly met the girl I like." , knowing that I fell in love with her myself, I will buy time to act, I think, this is the benefit of a dying person, girls will not blame a dying person for any unreasonable things, because He doesn't have much time left, does he?
Yu Lian didn't answer, not because she didn't want to answer, but because her heart was beating so violently that she couldn't answer at all. She even forgot her responsibility, opened the door of the ward immediately, and wanted to go out, but Lang Yingsheng called to stop She said: You haven't given me an injection yet!
Yu Lian was taken aback for a moment, turned around, and slowly closed the door of the ward. Her heart was still beating violently, but she was calm enough to look directly at Lang Yingsheng who just used such actions to kiss her almost. The man who choked, and then used such words to explain his actions!
Yu Lian didn't really see him clearly until then. She really regretted that she closed her eyes when she was so close to him just now!That was really a desirable man, and he was still looking back at her with a righteous look at this time.Yu Lian felt that in front of such a man, she was completely defenseless, and any effort to resist would be in vain!
She sighed involuntarily, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: Mr. Lang, please stretch out your arms and put them on the cushion!
Lang Yingsheng smiled and did as she asked.Intravenous injection is the simplest daily work for a nurse, but this time, Yu Lian did a terrible job, causing a large area of bruising around Lang Yingsheng's vein.
When she breathed a sigh of relief and finally finished the injection, Lang Yingsheng did not express any protest, but kept talking in his masculine, low-pitched voice talk.He introduced himself, said that he was an artist who had studied and worked in various places in Europe, that he already knew Yu Lian's name, that he could not be regarded as a gentleman, but a prodigal son, but as a prodigal son, he never He had never met a girl who fascinated him like that.
Yu Lian listened in a daze, the words were so sweet, when she packed up the injection equipment, she couldn't help whispering: Thank you!
Lang Yingsheng took a deep breath: As soon as I got sick, I asked to know the truth, so they didn't hide it from me, saying that I only had half a year to live, and after a month, my condition would deteriorate rapidly, and I had to lie in bed , can't move, does my medical record say that?
Since Yu Lian became a nurse, she has never met a person suffering from cancer who talked about her condition like this.She didn't know how to answer, but she just stretched out her trembling fingers and touched his cheek lightly. Lang Yingsheng immediately turned his face away, kissed her fingertips again, and then showed a naughty expression. look.
Yu Lian said: Your illness
Lang Yingsheng waved his hand: I don't believe that I will die of illness within half a year!
Yu Lian sighed, of course she would not tell him, this is not something he believes or not, whether he believes it or not, what will happen to him will always happen.
Yu Lian felt that she had been delayed in the ward for too long, she hurriedly retreated to the door, Lang Yingsheng smiled: "Injection every four hours, isn't it?"I'm waiting for you!
Yu Lian went to the duty room in a trance. Several times, when the bell rang in the ward, she hoped that it was Ward No. 12 calling her, but it was not the case every time.
She kept asking herself: What's wrong?What's the matter?This is impossible, this is really impossible!
A banker's son, a well-to-do artist, a prodigal son, perhaps unwilling to waste the last energy of his life, he chose her as the object of his teasing.But what happened to me?How could you be so distraught?
How can it be?Knowing that he is terminally ill, will he fall in love with someone who only has half a year to live?
Yu Lian cried out thousands of times in her heart, no, she is no longer seventeen, twenty-seven years old, she should stop fantasizing about love, falling in love with a dying man, in novels and movies, that is really true. Romantic enough, but in real life
Yu Lian was awakened from her messy thoughts by Sister Shen's words. Sister Shen said coldly: It's time to inspect the ward!
Yu Lian shook suddenly, and her face turned red again for no reason.She deliberately put the No. 12 ward at the end. She hoped that Lang Yingsheng would fall asleep, but when she came to the door of No. 12 ward, her heart beat wildly again. She opened the door and entered. Lang Yingsheng was sitting on the sofa. , looking at her with burning eyes.Yu Lian took a deep breath, and she told herself in her heart: That's it!
She put down the injection equipment before making a gesture to Lang Yingsheng. Lang Yingsheng had turned the drawing paper over and presented it in front of her.It was a pastel sketch.
Yu Lian took a look and was attracted.Of course she could see that the sketch was drawn by herself, but whether it was photography or herself facing the mirror, she had never seen herself so beautiful and moving.From the sketch, it can be seen that it should be a half-length portrait, but the chest part is left blank.
Yu Lian took a breath: the painting is really good!
Lang Yingsheng pointed to the blank part on the drawing paper, and said: It should be half-naked, but unfortunately I can't imagine the part covered by the clothes out of thin air.
Lang Yingsheng's words sounded very light, but Yu Lian could strongly feel the urgent desire in his words.At that moment, Yu Lian's heart became extremely chaotic.She thought of his words: the days are running out, no more time to waste.She also thought that if he asked her to unbutton her clothes, she would instinctively refuse!But he just said that, and then looked at her with that eager, scorching gaze!
Yu Lian took a slow breath, raised her right hand slowly, and unbuttoned the chest buttons of her jacket one by one.
Lang Yingsheng didn't move and didn't say a word, but fixed her with that kind of fanatical gaze that could melt any girl's hands and hearts.
When Yu Lian took off her blouse and turned her hands behind her back to untie the bust, her body began to tremble, so when the bust was taken off, her tall and plump breasts were trembling slightly, Lang Yingsheng felt deeply He took a deep breath, stood up, then buried his face deeply into her breasts, and took a deep breath!
Yu Lian was trembling, trembling all the time.
In the first month, Yu Lian seemed to be living in a dream. Sometimes, even she didn't believe that Lang Yingsheng would die soon, because he seemed so strong.
And, that's the man she needs!Yu Lian can be sure of this!
The relentless truth, however, remains the truth.One month later, Lang Yingsheng's condition deteriorated rapidly. Everything was exactly as the doctor expected, and the miracle did not happen!
It was only six months before and after. When Yu Lian was in the ward and was taking care of Lang Yingsheng, his eyes were already filled with the look of death. He had to inject painkillers every two hours. When he paused temporarily, his sanity was quite clear.Yu Lian thought he was asleep, but when she approached the hospital bed, he suddenly stretched out a hand that looked like a dry bone, grabbed her skirt, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't want to kill me!" do not die!I want to live, I must live, in order to love you, I don't want to die!
Yu Lian's heart felt like a piece of lead was pressed, and it was still red-hot lead!When she regained her composure, she held back the tears that were about to fall.Yu Lian naturally knew that as early as a week ago, the attending doctor had said that his life would not exceed ten days.
He, like so many people who have struggled with cancer, ended in failure.But Yu Lian still comforted him: I believe, you will not
Yu Lian couldn't say that you would not die, so she had no choice but to change her words: Hasn't your pain been relieved a lot?Yes or no?This is a good sign!
Lang Yingsheng was panting, as if he wanted to laugh, but his face had no muscles, only the movement of the bones and the outer skin made him show a very terrifying expression at this time.Yu Lian felt a sharp pain. She had struggled hard before and didn't want to fall into this love trap that she knew was fruitless, but there are many things in the world that cannot be achieved by hard work!
Lang Yingsheng probably felt that what she said was right, and the pain seemed to have eased a lot. Of course he didn't know that it was the result of almost doubling the dosage of painkillers!
Inadvertently, Yu Lian gently pushed his hand away, took two steps back, saw that he closed his eyes, she left the ward as if fleeing, and returned to the duty room.
She didn't want to escape anything, she knew there was no escape.She doesn't care about Sister Shen's sneer, she doesn't care about anything, Lang Yingsheng is going to die, the only man in her life is going to die!
After Lang Yingsheng died, no one in the world would know about this relationship. She had always concealed it very well, but in fact, she didn't have to hide anything after the first month, because after the rapid deterioration of Lang Yingsheng's condition, Already unable to move, painkillers and sedatives made the increasingly thin Lang Yingsheng almost lose any vitality!
But at the beginning, when Yu Lian thought about it, she couldn't help but tremble, and kept shaking.She felt that her body was more attractive, softer, and fuller, but so what?Lang Yingsheng is still going to die!
Involuntarily, she sighed again.
Following her sigh, the door of the elevator opposite the duty room made a sound and opened.
Since the corridor was very quiet, the sound of the elevator door opening sounded like a loud bang.Yu Lian and the two young nurses were shocked. Only Sister Shen continued knitting her sweater without even raising her eyebrows.
Yu Lian looked towards the elevator with the door open, and saw a person walking out of the elevator, probably because it was drizzling outside, that person was wearing a black raincoat that looked too big and didn't fit at all.The figure of this man is quite tall, so tall that it seems a little disproportionate to his head. His head is sharp and small, but his eyes are large, and his complexion is strangely white, giving people a very gloomy feeling. .
Seeing such a person coming out of the elevator, Yu Lian couldn't help feeling a chill.The man was actually holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, it seemed that he was here to visit someone sick.
However, the bouquet of flowers was too incongruous with this person's appearance.It was the big black box he was carrying, which suited him well.
After the man got out of the elevator, the door of the elevator closed again with a sound, and then there was the sound of the elevator going down to the next floor. The humming sound, accompanied by the footsteps of the man walking forward, sounded , it seemed to be the sound of his footsteps, which made this already weird person seem even weirder.
The man came to the door of the duty room and stood still. His voice sounded surprisingly soft: Excuse me.
Before he could finish his words, Sister Shen said coldly without raising her head: "Visiting time is over!"Yu Lian suddenly shook.
The man made a half-smile sound, and then said: I didn't know there was a time limit for visiting patients.Miss, almost all the patients here will die at any time, if I come tomorrow during the visiting time, the patients are already dead, what should I do?
Sister Shen finally raised her head, showing a disgusted expression between her brows, and looked at the man, who also looked directly at her, with very compelling eyes.
Sister Shen hesitated for a moment, turned to Yu Lian, made a gesture, then lowered her head to knit a sweater, her voice was equally cold: "Don't wait too long, the patient has just received an injection and may not be able to talk to you at all!"
Yu Lian stood up, and the man turned her body to let Yu Lian walk in front, but he came over immediately and walked forward with Yu Lian.He kept carrying the box, which was square and looked like a doctor's box, but much larger.
It's not very far from the duty room to Ward No. 12, about thirty steps at most.When Yu Lian thought about it afterwards, she didn't understand why that man talked to her so much in such a short distance.Maybe it was the man's soft voice?Perhaps something the man said surprised her and slowed her down?
Yu Lian remembered very clearly what the man said to her at this distance.
As soon as the man opened his mouth, Yu Lian was surprised. He said: Your name is Yu Lian, isn't it?
Yu Lian asked back in surprise: Yes, sir, you
The man showed a rather strange smile: Lang Yingsheng told me that there was a beautiful nurse in the hospital named Yu Lian. He was fascinated by her as soon as he saw her, and he was really fascinated. He fell in love with her and wanted to do it for her. And live!In my opinion, only you can be worthy of Lang Yingsheng's obsession.
Yu Lian closed her eyes in pain: Live for me, alas, can a person's life be changed according to a person's subjective desire?She sighed a long time: Please stop talking.Well, sir, are you his friend?
The man looked at Yu Lian: If he could survive, would you love him the same?
Before Yu Lian could figure out what that person meant, they had already arrived at the door of Ward No. 12. Yu Lian opened the door, looked into the ward first, and saw Lang Yingsheng's eyes half-opened and half-closed. She lowered her voice: Mr. Lang, someone is here to visit you!
Lang Yingsheng, who was on the bed, didn't react at all, and looked completely dead.Yu Lian looked at him who was torn apart by the cancer, and thought of the relationship between this patient and herself. There are still people in the world who know, and she didn't know what it was like.
Who is this person?Why did Lang Yingsheng tell him about himself?
She turned her head and said to the man: "Maybe he is asleep, you'd better not wake him up!"
The man had already entered the ward, and he responded: I know.
As he said, he closed the door of the ward with his backhand, and Yu Lian was shut out of the ward. After the door was closed, she stood close to the door, feeling faintly in her heart that something seemed a little unusual.
But she just thought about it this way, because she couldn't tell what was abnormal.Maybe it's the box?When visiting a patient, why bring a suitcase?
She didn't linger at the door of the ward, turned around and walked back to the duty room. When she came to the door of the duty room, she saw a family member of the patient who stayed in the hospital to accompany the patient, who was in a state of desperation coming from the other side of the corridor. One end rushed over, rushed into the duty room, and shouted: Girl, go and see
Of course, it was because the family member felt that there was something wrong with his relatives. This kind of situation is very common here. At this time, Sister Shen showed her proficiency in her work. She made a gesture to the two young nurses. Gesture, I have already dialed the phone to notify the doctor on duty in the hospital and the doctor in charge of this patient.
Then, Sister Shen had already walked out, and Yu Lian was the only one left in the duty room. There were chaotic footsteps and human voices from one end of the corridor. Yu Lian knew that the patient must be dying, dying. edge.
The elevator kept going up and down, and the doors opened and closed until Yu Lian remembered that the person who had entered Ward No. 12 had been at least half an hour away, and she hadn't seen him come out, and she had already left before she knew it. Woolen cloth?
Yu Lian felt that although the man looked very weird, he was very polite in his conversation. If he left, he would probably say hello to her.If he hadn't left, then, given Lang Yingsheng's condition, it was really not suitable for him to be visited for a long time, and he should be reminded!
Thinking of this, Yu Lian stood up, and when she reached the door, she saw a push bed pushed out from a ward at the other end of the corridor by two hospital staff.There is a doctor next to him. The attending doctor has not arrived yet, and the patient can't wait.
The patient's family members had red and swollen eyes, but they were not too sad, probably because they already knew that there would be such a result.
Yu Lian walked towards the other end. In the corridor, all the wards with family members accompanying the patients, and the family members who accompanied the patients, stood at the door of the wards, looking at the corpses that were pushed out, covered with white cloth, and whose lives had been taken away.Everyone looked sad and bewildered, because they all knew that one day, their relatives would be pushed out under such circumstances.
Yu Lian felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Whenever this happened, she always felt very uncomfortable in her heart. It would make her think of many problems and think of herself more.
And just when she came to the door of ward No. 12 and was about to open the door, she reached for the door handle, but saw the door handle turned, which meant that someone was inside and was about to open the door.
Yu Lian took a step back. As soon as she took a step back, the door opened, and the man walked out from the ward.When he saw Yu Lian standing at the door of the ward, he froze for a moment.
He was still holding the black square box in one hand. At this moment, Yu Lian felt for the first time that the box must be very heavy.Because when the man was holding the box in one hand and was anxious to close the door with the other, his movements were not very neat.However, the man closed the door immediately, and he asked: Have you been outside the ward?
Yu Lian said: No, I just wanted to tell you that Mr. Lang is not suitable to be disturbed too much.
The man snorted, didn't say anything, walked forward, took a step before saying: He fell asleep, a deep sleep!
Yu Lian hummed, followed the man, and asked casually: Sir, are you a doctor?How long have you known Mr. Lang?
The man shook suddenly, and turned his head. When he found that Yu Lian's eyes were fixed on the black box in his hand, he seemed to want to cover the box and prevent Yu Lian from looking at it. to the same.
But since the box was quite large, he obviously couldn't do this, so he showed a rather embarrassed look.
Yu Lian felt this, which made her curious. It was strange enough to carry such a suitcase near midnight, and it was even more unreasonable to bring the suitcase to visit the sick, not to mention that he had to hide it?Is he here to steal or something?
But in the ward, there was really nothing to steal, and even though that person looked a bit weird, he definitely didn't look like a thief!
Yu Lian was just thinking like this, and didn't say anything, but she couldn't help but look at the box a few more times. She felt a low sizzle sound coming from that box, but she couldn't hear it. Very true.
And that man, after turning around, found that there were suddenly many people in the deserted corridor. The family members standing at the door of the ward looked at him together after seeing him. His expression became very weird, and he felt like he didn't know what to do.
Yu Lian came to his side, pointed to the other end of the corridor, and said, "A patient died in the ward over there just now!"
The man responded oh-oh, and then, quickened his pace, came to the elevator, and waited for the elevator.
Yu Lian returned to the duty room, she looked at the man's back, even from the back, it gave the impression that he was in a state of anxiety.
At this time, the corpse had already been transported down, and two hospital employees came over to wait for the elevator with him.
Standing next to him, the man seemed even more uncomfortable.Even Yu Lian, who was looking at him, felt that the elevator hadn't come up for too long.
When the elevator door opened, the man walked in with the two employees. After entering the elevator, the man did not turn around like ordinary people, so Yu Lian could still only see his back.
The elevator door closed, Sister Shen and the two young nurses returned to the duty room, everything had returned to calm, no different from an hour ago, after a while, the attending doctor came, said a few words and then leave.Then, it's time for the painkiller shot.
The wards that Yu Lian was in charge of were from No. 6 to No. 12.As usual, she started from Ward No. 6, skillfully administering injections to the patients, some of whom required sedatives, and some who did not.
When she came to the door of Ward No. 12, it happened to be two hours after the last injection.
Cancer patients, in the later stages, are actually waiting to die, with no hope of cure at all. Waiting to die is a very cruel thing, but human beings have not yet generally accepted the practice of euthanasia, that is, using drugs to end hopeless lives.
Therefore, no matter how good a doctor is, all he can do is to minimize the suffering of patients.
Yu Lian pushed the medicine cart to the door of Ward No. 12, held the door handle, opened the door, then turned around, pulled the medicine cart, entered the ward, and said: Alas!It's time for an injection again!
When she said this, she looked towards the ward and saw Lang Yingsheng lying on the hospital bed, completely covered by a white towel.
Yu Lian couldn't help frowning. Patients should not sleep with their heads covered. She came to the bed and gently removed the white towel.
The moment she lifted the towel, she saw the patient lying on the bed. In that moment, she seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and even the blood in her whole body seemed to have coagulated.
She absolutely didn't want to take another look at the situation on the bed, but she couldn't take her eyes off the bed.
She didn't know how long she had stood in front of the hospital bed before she screamed, she just knew that she screamed and screamed, screaming non-stop, as if she wanted to use the scream to get rid of the pain that had invaded her body. That kind of fear is the same as dispelling it together.But, in fact, the screaming did not lessen her fear!
于蓮的尖叫聲發出之後不到三十秒鐘，便至少有五、六個人，一起奔了過來。奔在最前面的是沈大姐，後面跟著的，是被于蓮的尖叫聲驚動了的病人家屬。在寂靜的醫院之中，于蓮的尖叫聲，實在太駭人了，簡直就像是要把人的耳膜撕破一樣。沈大姐首先來到十二號病房門口，她大喝一聲：你幹甚麼？
沈大姐是十分有經驗的醫護人員，所以她才會第一個奔過來。
當時她想到的是：一定是病人突然死亡了，經驗不足的護士，看到猝然死亡的病人，會驚惶失措，有時會忍不住驚叫起來。但是于蓮也不是全然沒有經驗的人，這樣尖叫，實在太過分了。所以沈大姐在發出這一下呼喝之際，是充滿怒意的。
可是她的呼喝聲雖然嚴厲，于蓮像是完全未曾聽到一樣，仍然在不斷的尖叫著，沈大姐一下來到了于蓮的面前，揚手一個耳光，重重打在于蓮的左頰上，于蓮的臉色，本來煞白，捱了一掌之後，一個鮮明的手印，立時現了出來，她一手撫著臉頰，止住了尖叫聲，一手指著床上，手在劇烈地發抖。
沈大姐在轉頭向床上看去之際，並沒有忘記嚴厲地瞪于蓮一眼。
可是當她在瞪了于蓮一眼之後，轉頭向床上看去之際，她整個人都呆住了，剎那之間，她也忍不住要尖叫起來，但是她畢竟經驗老到，她所做的第一件事，就是拉著于蓮，奔出了病房。這時，幾個聽到叫聲而來的人，才到病房門口，已沒有機會看到病房中的情形了。
沈大姐甚至還記得關上了病房的門，于蓮在她的身邊，身子抖得像是篩糠一樣！
奔過來的人紛紛問：甚麼事？What's up?
沈大姐再鎮定，她的聲音也不由自主在發顫：沒甚麼！沒甚麼事！
奔過來的人雖然疑惑，但是由於他們無法看到房間中的情形，所以也只好疑惑。而且，在他們想來，也不會有甚麼大事，在一個隨時有人死亡的地方，還會有甚麼大不了的事情？
連沈大姐的聲音，聽起來都在發顫，可知事情是多麼令人恐懼了。沈大姐在醫院度過了二十多年，甚麼樣的事情沒有見過？
事實上，這時在值班室中的人，每一個都是經驗極豐富的人，包括了醫院的院長、警方的一位高級警官、一位頭髮已花白了的法醫、沈大姐、于蓮，還有幾個在醫院發生了非常事故之後，必須在場的人員。
那是在于蓮發出了尖叫聲之後不到一小時之後的事。沈大姐當時，用沒有甚麼事，勸走其餘被于蓮的尖叫聲引來的人，使醫院的走廊，又恢復了平靜之後，她也不由自主緊握著于蓮的手。
于蓮已經完全不能行動了，只是手扶著牆，整個人就像是一塊石頭一樣，然後，她是被沈大姐硬拖進值班室去的。那兩個年輕護士想問甚麼，沈大姐已嚴厲地道：甚麼也別問！
然後，她打電話給院長，院長到了之後，進十二號病房看了一下，面色變得像青蛙一樣的暗綠色，然後，用他發抖的手指，撥電報警，警方來了不少人，由高級警官高雲負責。
院長在高雲的耳際低語了幾句，看來精明能幹的高雲，現出了極怪異的神色來，他是一個人進十二號病房的，迅速退了出來，接著，是法醫進去，他們一起退到了值班室之中。
就是在值班室之中，當每一個人的神情都怪異莫名，驚駭之極時，沈大姐用發抖的聲音道：經過情形，還是請于姑娘先說一說！
于蓮發出了兩下抽噎聲，她已經嘔吐了兩次，可是這時，強烈的嘔吐感又襲了上來，她連忙用手按住了口，用求助的眼光望向沈大姐，可是沈大姐卻轉過頭去，避開了她的目光。
高雲的聲音很低沉，語調相當快速，在警界，他以思路縝密，反應快速而著名，他盯著于蓮，道：于姑娘，你是第一個發現的，還是由你先說！
于蓮一開口，聲音帶著她自己不能控制的哭音。她道：我我進了病房，看到他用毛巾被蒙著
想起當時的情景，于蓮因為顫抖而斷斷續續。當時的情景，只怕她這一輩子都忘不了，也只怕世上不會有比當時更恐怖的情景了！
（這時，于蓮的確是這樣想的，到後來，她才知道，會有更恐怖的情景！）
當時，于蓮一面嘆著氣，一面去揭開毛巾被。當她去揭開毛巾被之際，她心中又是一陣淒酸。她並不後悔自己和郎英生之間發生了那段情。至少，在郎英生用那麼特別的方法，令得她和他之間，變成了那麼特別的一對戀人之際，郎英生看起來，還是十分健康的，是一個她心目中一直在幻想著的愛人。
雖然郎英生瀕臨死亡，是意料中的事，但是事情來得實在太快了，當郎英生幾乎連轉動眼珠都有困難之際，于蓮仍然可以感到，在他充滿了死亡陰影的眼睛之中，仍然充滿了對她的那種近乎赤熾的愛。
于蓮緩緩揭開了毛巾被，心中已經千百遍在叫著她所愛的人的名字。
可是一當毛巾被揭開之後，她卻沒有看到郎英生。
于蓮先是怔了一怔，郎英生是不可能離床起身的，他虛弱的身子，並不容許他這樣做。
而且，雖然有毛巾被覆蓋著，郎英生是在床上，這一點是可以肯定的。那麼，怎麼會看不見他呢？
于蓮立時想到，郎英生一定是把身子蜷縮起來了，可能是有意想嚇她一下，郎英生本來就頑皮得像是一個大孩子，他怎麼有氣力縮起身子來呢？難道奇蹟出現，他真有可能漸漸恢復健康了？
人在絕望的時候，往往會生出極度不切實際的幻想來，于蓮自然也不例外。她一面胡思亂想，一面把毛巾被更揭開了一些。
就在這時，她先看到了觸目驚心的一灘鮮血，在她還未曾弄清楚，那灘鮮血是怎麼一回事之際，她看到了郎英生，不，不應該說她看到了郎英生，應該說，她看到了郎英生的身子。
郎英生的雙手交叉地放在胸口，仰躺著，身子在，可是可是郎英生的頭，卻不在他的頸上，郎英生整個頭都不見了，頸子的斷口處，還有血在滲出來，就是那一大灘鮮血！
郎英生整個頭不見了！
躺在床上的，是一具沒有頭的屍體！
于蓮整個人都被眼前的情景，驚駭得麻木了，她其實不是一下子就發出尖叫聲來的，她張大了口，想令自己的視線移開，不再去看床上的無頭屍體，她在這以前，絕未曾想到過，一個人的身體，沒有了頭部，會如此可怕！可是她連轉動眼珠的能力都沒有，她只能怔怔地望著冒血的頸腔，怔怔地望著沒有了頭的身體。
不知道過了多久，她才能發出尖叫聲，她的尖叫聲雖然驚動了別人，可是在這時，她卻是全然聽不到自己的尖叫聲的。
她完全不知道自己在做甚麼，發出尖叫聲，只是在極度的驚恐之下，一種本能的反應！
于蓮忍不住哭了起來，一面哭，一面仍然斷斷續續地道：直到沈大姐摑了我一掌我才有了知覺，太可怕了，我
她無法再說下去，雙手捂住了臉，淚水還是自她的指縫之中，流了出來。
房間中沒有人反對太可怕了這句話，因為他們也都看到過郎英生的無頭屍體，這也正是何以每一個人的臉色都那麼難看的原因。
高雲輕輕拍著于蓮的背，想說幾句安慰的話，可是當他想起床上躺著無頭屍體的那種可怖情景之際，作為一個經驗豐富的警務人員，仍忍不住要發抖，他還有甚麼安慰的話可以說出口的？
就在這時，法醫鐵青著臉，推門走了進來，跟在法醫後面的，是兩個警務人員，臉色也是一片青白。那兩個警務人員道：到處都找過了，沒有發現！
沈大姐本來已經尖銳的聲音，這時聽來更是刺耳：找甚麼？你們想找人頭？人頭，當然被那個人放在那隻黑箱子裏帶走了！
于蓮又發出一下呻吟聲來。那個人，那個人是她把他帶到十二號病房門口的，當時那人一進去就把門關上，她就覺得有點異常，可是無論怎麼想，也想不到那人會幹出這樣可怕的事情來！
一臉精悍之色的高雲，雙眼之中也充滿了迷惘切下了一個人頭帶走，有甚麼用處呢？
沒有人回答得出這個問題來，高雲又深深吸了一口氣，問：將一個人頭切下來，要花多少時間？
院長的聲音十分苦澀，醫院之中發生了那樣的怪事，作為一個醫院的負責人，心中不知是甚麼滋味，當他接到沈大姐的電話，說有極重要的事，要他立刻趕來之際，他有點怪沈大姐大驚小怪，可是這時
他用苦澀的聲音道：那要看怎麼切法，劊子手在砍頭的時候，只要一秒鐘就可以把人頭切下來了！
高雲的眉心打著結，向法醫望去：你檢查的結果怎麼樣？
法醫一進來時，已經先一口氣喝了一大杯水，看樣子，如果那一大杯是烈酒的話，他也會一口氣吞下去，他定了定神，道：我絕對可以肯定，那是一個第一流外科醫生的手法，切割得乾淨俐落，被切割下來的頭，一定保持著極度的完整
他講到這裏，頓了一頓，又道：我所謂完整的意思是，在頭和身體被分開的部分，是經過小心處理的，血管、神經系統、氣管，一切和身體原來的聯繫，都未曾亂，主要的血管，甚至還經過結紮的手續
院長本來也是著名的外科醫生，他立時問：那是甚麼意思？
法醫苦笑了一下：不知道，或許兇手是想保留一顆完整的人頭！
高雲忽然揚了揚眉：兇手？
法醫道：當然是，雖然被切下人頭來的人，至多還能活三天，可是那毫無疑問，是一樁謀殺！
高雲再度現出迷惘的神情來：誰會去謀殺一個三天之後一定會死的人呢？
院長揮了一下手：先別研究這個問題，唉！不知道怎樣通知病人的家屬才好，在醫院中的一個病人的頭忽然被人切走了，醫院方面在事後才知道，唉
他唉聲嘆氣在說話之際，嚴厲地瞪了沈大姐一眼，充滿了責備。
沈大姐尖聲道：是，我有責任，可是于姑娘的責任更大，于姑娘，說說你和病人的特殊關係！
于蓮震動了一下，院長忙問：甚麼特殊關係？
沈大姐道：我不知道，但是我看到過一幅裸體畫，是病人替于姑娘畫的！
于蓮整個人像是被過度的擠搾之後，又陡然放鬆了一下，她實在無法忍受了，她整個人像是爆炸開來一樣，用盡了她所能集中的氣力，叫了起來：你這個心理變態的老處女！
當時在這樣叫了一聲之後，她已到了可以支持的極限，任何人都有一個忍受的極限的，無法超越。于蓮尖厲的聲音還在空中蕩漾時，她已經眼前發黑，昏了過去。
于蓮昏過去沒有多久，就被送到了一間病房之中，在她接受了鎮靜劑的注射之後，睡著了，在她的病房之外，有兩個警員看守著。
警方有更多的高級人員來到，最後來到的是郎英生的父親，銀行家郎天誠。
這時，警方和醫院方面，已經達成了一個協議：由於事情實在太怪異恐怖了，如果公佈出來，不但整個醫院會陷入極度的慌亂之中，連整個社會，也可能因而人心惶惶。所以，只要病人家屬同意的話，這件不可思議的，病人的頭顱，被人切下來帶走的怪事，應該保持極度的秘密。
在于蓮昏過去之後，警方人員、院長等人，還留在值班室，等候郎天誠的到來，那兩個年輕的護士，一直縮在一角，不住發抖。
她們並未曾看到無頭屍體，但是即使未曾看到，也可以感到恐怖的氣氛，在侵襲著她們每一根神經！所以，當她們向警方派來的繪圖人員，講述那個穿著寬大的黑雨衣，提著一隻大黑箱子的那個人的形貌之際，她們也在不住發著抖。
當那個人的繪像繪出來之後，那兩個年輕的護士一看之下，更是互相握著手，一起尖聲道：是，就是他，畫得像極了！
沈大姐在被于蓮罵了一句之後，一直臉色發青，不出聲，直到這時才道：于姑娘陪他到十二號病房去的，他們走得很慢，還講了很多話！
高雲深深吸了一口氣：郎英生是一個畫家，于姑娘每天和他見面，他就算替于姑娘畫了一幅裸像，似乎不能證明兩人之間有特別的關係。
沈大姐語音冰冷：裸體像畫得十分逼真，于姑娘身體上的特徵，全在畫像上，警探先生，一個女人在男人面前赤裸身體，而她又不是職業模特兒，你怎麼解釋這種關係？
高雲苦笑著，是的，怎麼解釋這種關係？可是，于蓮是護士，她是應該知道郎英生的病況，是無可救藥的，事情是怎麼發生的呢？
高雲只好承認自己對男女之間的事知道得太少，雖然他早已明白，男女之間的事，是最不能以常理來測度，是最變幻無窮，最不可捉摸，最不可解釋的！
當郎天誠走進值班室，看到有一些不相干的人，還有穿著高級警官制服的人在時，他不禁呆了一呆。他的神情看來極疲倦，臉色蒼白，可是在值班室中的那些人，看來並不比他好多少。
他進來之後，和他相熟的幾個人，略打了一下招呼，就向院長道：早了兩三天，嗯？
院長吞了一口口水，他明白郎天誠的意思是：郎英生的死，比預期早了兩三天。
如果郎英生是死於骨癌的話，問題就簡單得多了，而且看來，郎天誠也早已準備承受喪子之痛。可是現在事情卻不是這樣，而是郎英生的頭被人切走了！院長真不知道怎樣開口才好！
郎天誠又嘆了一聲：讓我去看看他，唉！他是那麼可愛的一個孩子！
值班室中所有的人，都互望了一眼，不由自主，都現出了古怪的神情來，即使是在極度的哀傷之中，郎天誠也感到事情有點古怪，他立時問：怎麼啦？不要緊，我早知有這一刻，不論他的樣子多難看，他總是我的孩子，唯一的孩子！
院長仍然不知道如何說才好，只是不斷用手在他自己的臉上撫摸著。到了這種情形，郎天誠不但感到事情不對勁，而且明顯地起疑了！
他沉聲道：有什磨難以啟齒的事？
院長震動了一下，高雲在這時候，咳嗽了一下，暫時解開了院長的窘境，他把那個人的繪像，遞到了郎天誠的面前，先介紹了他自己的身份，然後問：郎先生，你認識這個人嗎？
郎天誠顯得十分激動和憤怒，他連看都不看一下那畫像，一下子就推開了高雲的手，厲聲道：我唯一的兒子死了，我沒有空來替警方做認人的工作，院長，請帶我去看我的孩子
高雲立時道：郎先生，你必須看一看，因為這個人和令郎的死，有極大的關係！
郎天誠的面肉搐動著，聲音變得十分低：他真的死了！他神情看來疲倦，長嘆了一聲：我知道這時候把我叫到醫院來，絕不會是好消息。你們有沒有注意到？我一進來，就認定他已死了，可是心中總還存著億萬分之一的希望，真可憐，明知那是不可能的。警官先生，你真殘忍，把我心中億萬分之一的希望都毀滅了，因為你是第一個告訴我，說我唯一兒子已經死了的人！
郎天誠的那一番話，像是在喃喃自語一樣，可是所有人都屏住了氣息，聽他說著，沒有人去打斷他。郎天誠的話，把一個傷心的父親的心情表露無遺，聽得每一個人都心頭沉重！
高雲苦笑道：對不起，我不是故意的。
郎天誠搖著頭：不要緊，人總是要死的，是不是？不過他實在太年輕了！
高雲堅持著：請你看看這畫像，他和令郎的死，有極大的關係！
郎天誠轉過頭來，向那幅畫像，看了一眼，一看之下，他就陡然一怔，盯著畫像，看了足有半分鐘之久，陡然激動起來，一伸手，抓住了高雲的手腕，厲聲道：他！this person!是不是如果不是他，英生還可以活著？可以活很久？回答我，是不是？Yes or no?
他一面問，一面望向院長，一臉希望有答案的神情。
院長緩緩搖頭：只不過相差幾天，郎先生，請相信我，只不過相差幾天！
郎天誠的聲音聽來尖厲而令人毛髮悚然：幾天？
院長深深地吸了一口氣：今早的檢查是，他體內的癌細胞，早已侵入了神經系統，他整個人實際上已經死了，只是在這樣的情形下，腦部的活動，還可以維持兩三天而已，郎先生，兩三天！
郎天誠長長地吁了一口氣，問：那麼這個人做了甚麼，使他早死了兩三天？
院長的喉際，發出了咯地一聲響，高雲已問道：郎先生，你見過這個人？
郎天誠道：是，我見過他兩次，兩次見面，相隔一小時，大約是在四個月之前，我看一看
他自上衣的袋中，取出了一本小本子來，翻著道：今天是十月三日，他第一次來見我，是五月二十九日上午，這個人，化了灰也認得他，印象太深了！
高雲望著郎天誠，幾個高級警官也一起望著他，等候他進一步解釋。
郎天誠停了片刻，像是在仔細回想當日的情形。
那個人來得極突然，作為一間規模相當龐大的銀行董事長，接見客人，有一定的程序，大多數是事先約定的，絕少有不速之客，未經約定一定要見董事長的。
那個人卻是根本未曾約定，就要求見董事長。秘書還沒有向他解釋，董事長上午極忙，工作早就安排好了，他已經拿出一封信來，交給秘書，道：請你把這封信送進去，我在這裏等他。事情極重要，他再忙，總有空看看他兒子給他的信的！
董事長的兒子，患癌住院，這件不幸的事，銀行上下職員都知道的。秘書雖然覺得來人有一股說不出的怪異，可是一聽得他這樣說，倒也不敢怠慢。
郎天誠那時，正在參加一個十分重要的業務會議，女秘書走進去的時候，郎天誠的眼光，顯然不是很讚賞，令得女秘書十分害怕，但是她還是把那封信，放在郎天誠的面前，彎下身，低聲道：一個人拿來，說是令郎的信！
郎天誠心中又是生氣，又是難過，郎英生入院不到兩個月，情況在迅速惡化，還有甚麼人來和自己開這樣的玩笑？可是，當他低頭一看，看到信封上的字跡，寫著郎天誠先生的字樣，正是郎英生的字跡，那是他極其熟悉的筆跡。
郎天誠心中十分奇怪，他先向所有人說了一聲對不起，然後，拆開了那封信來。
信內的字跡，也毫無疑問是郎英生的字，信十分簡單：爸，當你看到這封信的時候，請立即接見他！立即！並且答應他一切金錢上的要求。兒英生。
郎天誠更是莫名其妙，他每天都到醫院中去探視兒子，為甚麼郎英生一直不向他提這件事呢？這些日子來，他也感到，郎英生的表現，有點異樣，可是異樣在甚麼地方，卻又說不上來。他只以為那是郎英生自知死期愈來愈近，所以才有異樣的神情的。
郎天誠的心中，充滿了疑惑，他望著那封信片刻，嘆了一口氣，那是他垂死的兒子的要求，他無論如何不能拒絕的。
所以，他雙手按著會議桌，站了起來，道：對不起各位，我要離開一會，會議暫停一下，我想，不會超過五分鐘，唉，事情和小兒有關！
與會的人雖然感到訝異，但一聽事情和他患癌的兒子有關，自然沒有人反對。郎天誠離開了會議室，來到了會客室之中。
那個人坐在沙發上，神情像是十分焦切地在等待，一見到郎天誠進來，他就站了起來，指著郎天誠，語氣和神態，沒有半點禮貌的成分，道：我們不會有太多的時間，所以請你聽清楚了，我說的事，要立刻辦！
不知已有多久，沒有人和郎天誠用這樣的態度說話了，郎天誠怔了一怔，維持著禮貌：先生貴姓大名，和小兒是甚麼關係？
那人極度不耐煩的一揮手：我告訴過你，沒有多少時間，每一分每一秒，都極度寶貴，你廢話作甚麼？只管聽我要你做的事，照做，就行了！
郎天誠強忍住氣：好，那麼你要求甚麼？
那人揮著手：在你的銀行裏，替我開一個戶口，隨便我要提多少錢，我開出去的支票，都不能退票。快吩咐你的手下去辦，我等著要支票簿！
郎天誠怔住了，他一生之中，可以說從來也未曾想到過，竟然會有人向自己提出這樣荒謬的要求，他實在不知道該如何反應才好。
可是在他發怔的短短十秒間，那人已十分不客氣地，把銀行董事長當作小廝一樣來呼喝：你還站著幹甚麼？快吩咐你手下去辦事啊！
郎天誠實在忍無可忍，由於唯一的兒子患了絕症，他的心情本來就極差，這時再被那人不但提出荒謬絕倫的要求，而且還對他呼來喝去，他陡然爆發出來，用盡了氣力呼喝道：滾出去！
他一大聲呼喝，幾個銀行職員，正時走了進來，連警衛也走了進來，郎天誠指著那人，又道：滾出去，把他趕出去！
兩個警衛立時來到了那人的身邊，那人現出十分驚訝的神情來，道：要我出去？你沒有看郎英生的那封信？
郎天誠因為剛才的盛怒，而急速地喘著氣，他聽到那人提到了郎英生的信，心裏又軟了下來，道：你的要求太荒謬了，不可能實現，你走吧！
那人卻一點也沒有走的意思，反倒有恃無恐，冷笑著：碰到了像你這樣的無知之徒，真是討厭，你不知道時間有多寶貴，一點也浪費不起，你兒子的生命只有四個月了，你硬要浪費的話，我給你一小時，讓你到醫院去聽聽他的意見！
郎天誠一聽得那人這樣說，心中不禁陡然一動，為了患絕症的兒子，他不但特地從美國請了專家來醫治，而且也曾試過各種各樣的治癌秘方，從印地安人的巫術，到治癌確實有效的中國單方，他也曾把聲稱能用神的力量來醫治絕症的一些神醫，老遠地請來，替郎英生治療。
但是事實證明，那些人全部一點用處也沒有，可是郎天誠的心中，總還有著一絲希望，希望有朝一日，會有奇蹟出現。
這時，他看到那個人的態度是這樣充滿信心，他不由自主，吸了一口氣，然後問道：先生，你是一位醫生？
那人卻並沒有回答，只是揮著手，令他快到醫院去。郎天誠苦笑著：那麼，至少請你說出姓名來，好讓他知道你是誰！
那人傲然道：我是世上獨一無二的，他知道，唯有我一個人，你去問他吧，他知道！
郎天誠轉身，吩咐了他的秘書，去通知開會的人，會議押後舉行，雖然他明知自己這樣做，可能對銀行的業務造成相當大的損失，但是為了患了絕症的兒子，他必須到醫院去。那人已不再理會郎天誠，像是他早已知道郎天誠一定會照他的吩咐去做一樣，自顧自坐了下來，當郎天誠還想和他說話之際，他臉上所顯露出來的那種不耐煩的神色，竟令得郎天誠不敢再開口，轉身向外就走了出去。
郎天誠用了極短的時間，就趕到醫院，日班的值班護士，他是很熟悉的了，他也來不及向她們打招呼，就來到病房門口，推門而入。
當他推門進去的時候，看到郎英生正坐著，用顫抖的手，在畫著。郎英生和入院時已經大不相同，明顯的瘦削，臉色蒼白得可怕，可是他的精神狀態，看來卻十分旺盛，這正是使郎天誠感到奇怪之處。
郎天誠向那幅素描看了一眼，看出那是一個側臥著的女裸像，郎天誠的聲音聽來相當嘶啞，他在郎英生對面坐了下來，道：英生，有一個人，拿了你的一封信來找我。
郎天誠話還沒有講完，郎英生陡然現出十分興奮的神情來，啊地一聲：他來了！
他可能是由於太興奮了，一面說著，一面想迅速地站起來，可是卻忘了他的腰際，箍著十分堅固的一個箍，所
