4 children in need

"Uncle Peter, you are here"
The child on the hospital bed showed a bright smile. He looked up and saw Peter who entered the ward and looked very happy. He put little Ed's favorite snacks on the bedside table, sat in front of the hospital bed and rubbed Ed's head. The bloom of youth had not yet begun. At the beginning, God's mouth turned out to be the other person's life. Why did the apple always have to be bitten before being placed in the world?
"How does it feel"
Although the boy resisted the soft-headed movement, he still smiled and complained to Peter while the nurse walked out of the ward.
"Dr. Edward gave me another injection yesterday. My butt still hurts because of it. Can't I be discharged from the hospital? I'm really afraid of Dr. Edward now. He always scares me with that syringe."
"They care about you, and you know your illness, but you will be discharged from the hospital soon. Then you will have no problem playing basketball with Karl and Wood."
Answering with a smile, Peter felt a little emotional in his heart. If he pulled the trigger without any fluctuation for the first time because he didn't understand the world at all, when he saw the names of the children in the orphanage and the death of his parents, The reason is that Ed Peter's inner thought is to do something for this child. It is not to atone for sin, but to sympathize with the child's experience.
Perhaps it is for this reason that I have to bear the medical expenses of my child for a year by myself, and yet I spend millions to help a child while living in a slum. I also have a very silly and naive side.
"Really? You keep saying this, but it's been almost a year and I'm still in this damn hospital and can't get out."
"Don't worry, your illness will get better soon. Remember not to get angry with anyone, especially Dr. Edward. I heard that you cursed me again last time."
The child's complaints were very verbose, but Peter listened carefully and nodded from time to time, because the child actually only talked to himself. In the orphanage, Father Mulder took care of the children like a father, and he also hired a school to study. The teacher guides, and the priest's teaching style is also a bit strict. Of course, it only refers to when he is studying, but at other times he is more like a tolerant mother.
The children will not go to confession with Father Mudd, because Father Mudd will let them enter the confession hut every time, which makes the children feel weird, but they are different. Although they don't go to the orphanage very often, they do it every time. He would bring delicious food every time and mingle with the children. Over time, Peter became like an older brother who could talk to him about any troubles.
"I didn't. It was so painful that I couldn't help but scream. I really didn't curse. I just stayed here and couldn't go anywhere. It was really boring."
Following Peter's warning, the young man seemed a little excited and retorted seriously. Peter shook his head again. It wasn't that he didn't believe Ed's words, but that Ed's curse words resounded throughout the floor. That was obviously not an excuse. The explanation made sense, he raised his hand and touched his head again to give a warning.
"No matter what we do, we must never curse. Ed, we must be civilized gentlemen."
"Well, I understand, but I still have to explain to you seriously. I really didn't curse last time. I know that my uncles and aunts are good to me. I will tolerate it even if it hurts. It was an accident last time. I Not scolding anyone.”
Ed's explanation really sounded like that. After thinking about it, Peter thought that Ed might really be like this, but he had already criticized it anyway. The reward candy was on the bedside table, and he continued to rub his head heavily. Dr. Edward's voice.
"Peter, come out for a moment."
"Be good and maybe you can go out and play next time."
"I see Uncle Peter. Goodbye."
He said goodbye to Ed and got up and went to the other party's office with Edward. A bill was placed on the table, which was the bill he had just settled. Dr. Edward was a college classmate of Ed's father, and he was a very good friend, so he This hospital also has a credit limit for Ed's medical expenses. Every time, he replenishes the credit limit just right, which neither embarrasses the hospital nor makes Dr. Edward lose his credibility, but he always drags on It's not good, this time I paid all the money of more than 100,000 yuan in one go, and finally I no longer owe anyone any favors.
"Ed's condition is very bad. His condition is getting worse and worse. Maybe we need to do a heart transplant."
"He's only eleven years old. Didn't you say last time that he couldn't have this operation?"
After listening to Edward's suggestion, Peter hesitated for a moment and asked. The child's physical condition could not support him to enter the operating table. The problem of insufficient cardiac blood supply was just one of the many diseases in the child. Edward explained helplessly. road
"There is nothing that can be done about it. Although it can be maintained with a large amount of drugs, Ed's growth has also begun to make the blood supply more and more scarce. I have explained the medical knowledge to you and you don't understand it. To put it simply, it is His heart's ability to pump blood can no longer keep up with his body's growth. Unless more expensive drugs are used to solve the problem, the only option is to risk a heart replacement. My suggestion is the latter."
"The more expensive drugs are"
"Ten thousand and a half of chemical aids"
“This doesn’t count”
"Two a day"
"Fake"
Asked about more expensive medicines, but when Edward finished speaking, the simple words turned into swear words. He looked at Edward with some disdain. Edward also smiled evilly and handed a document to Peter and continued.
"So I think heart replacement is the best solution, although it also carries great risks, but"
"Use that accelerant, I can barely afford it."
With a success rate of 45%, it is an unreliable operation. This is not a matter of not trusting Edward, but because Peter thinks that the auxiliary agent seems to be the most reliable method. It is true that this agent is very It’s expensive, but in my current situation, I can barely afford 30,000 yuan a day. The most important thing is to help Jin Bing defeat a few opponents. Jin Bing’s money is indeed not clean, but the enemies who killed Jin Bing picked out a few It's easy to be a bad guy. If you can't earn points, just let it go. Taking care of these children is also a responsibility.
"Are you sure Peter that this is not just a few weeks or months, but five years or even longer, until Ed's heart can be bridged through medical means to solve the problem of insufficient blood transfusion?"
Peter's generous offer surprised Edward, but Edward was still worried that Peter didn't understand the current situation. After reminding him again, Peter waved his hand and replied in confirmation.
"I have no problem. In terms of money, I recently found a very generous boss. Although the boss's identity is not very decent, he has money and as long as I work hard, he should be able to solve Ed's problem. Of course, if you can And if you contract the medical care of the entire orphanage, I will be even more grateful to you."
"You haven't given up yet"
"Mr. Edward, actually I really want to invite you to build a private hospital specifically to serve these children. They really need you."
Some things must be done. I am not a saint. I can only tear down the east wall and mend the west wall. What I tear down is the adult and what I mend is the future. I don’t know what the children will be like when they grow up. You can control whether it is good or bad. No, but adults are obviously hard-wired. Killing them seems to have no trace of guilt or resistance. This body and the absorbed soul have really brought quite good benefits to themselves. The nerves prevent oneself from being bound by those moral constraints at all.
"I don't have that strong ability, but I will consider it. Recently, my classmates will come to this hospital. His research may be very useful to Ed. Curtis Scott Connors is a great person. scientist, if World War II had not destroyed his hands, perhaps he would have been greater than Hawking."
Seeing Peter's persistence, Edward couldn't help but continue to persuade him. It didn't matter which plan he used. Everyone was trying their best to help the child. For the sake of Ed's future, he actually wanted to choose a chemical aid. However, I am really short of money. Being a doctor is indeed very profitable, but it has not reached the point where I am spending 30,000 US dollars a day. This is not a few days but a few years.
"So profitable"
"When he comes later, I will invite you to have a drink together. I also want to ask him what he thinks of Ed. If we can get his help, we will avoid many mistakes and the chance of success will be greatly increased. "
A very powerful scientist, Peter is full of fantasies about this, hoping to be someone who can solve Ed's symptoms, but this kind of disease is just something he thinks about, and it may still be very difficult to solve it, and he and Edward have another problem. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left. He still had a task that he had to do today. The share of US dollars was collected by a poor family to buy their own house. It was very clean. Although there were only three points after redemption, But I still need to accumulate a little to make a big difference.
I took a taxi and quickly arrived at a subway station in Queens. I couldn’t even name the place. I had never been there and was not familiar with it. I put on a mask and hat and then got out of the taxi and walked down the stairs to the waiting room. District, sitting on a rest chair, took out the newspaper I just bought and read the news on it. They were all useless content. The entertainment news on the third page was quite interesting. It told a piece of gossip in Hollywood. Read Peter was enjoying it and subconsciously looked at his watch. The time had just arrived at o'clock. He folded the newspaper and put it aside. He walked to the yellow line and looked at the monitors on both sides. He lowered his hat to cover his face.
