Love in the Wards

Keep loving,no matter what
A young man suffered from a lung infection after his kidney transplant surgery,and was in a less-than-ideal condition.
I went to the water room to fetch hot water and bumped into his mother.Perhaps seeing that I was roughly the same age as her son,the mother said hello to me and asked about my disease.After hearing my condition,she said with a sigh that her son was the same age as me and that his future was hanging in the balance.
Such depression and frustration occurred on this floor almost every day.My comforting words were powerless and useless.I was about to leave when I heard her murmur with a sigh,“His wife is expecting.What will she do next?”
I halted,my heart getting perplexed by the story.
Falling in love with a fatally ill young man,getting married and pregnant,what a girl his wife should be!
His mother told me that,his wife would never leave him,whether be in school uniforms or in wedding attire,through health or sickness.
They fell in love on campus.In their junior year,the young man fell ill,quit school,and intended to break up with the girl so as not to burden her.The girl refused to leave him alone and even rushed around to raise money for him.She finally raised enough for his surgery.His father donated one of his kidneys and the operation was successful.Both of them then returned to school and graduated from university.
The wife’s parents firmly opposed their marriage.The reason was quite simple: his life hung by a thread,the young man with only one kidney could hardly provide for the family.
The girl was,however,determined to marry him at the risk of falling out with her parents.She entered his family,did the housework,and made money to support the family.
In less than 3 months before her delivery,a high fever forced him into the emergency room once again.
The mother paused a little and then murmured in anguish,“If only I had known it,I should have objected to their marriage.”

当初我该反对的
那个男孩移植了肾之后出现肺部感染,情况不太乐观。
我去水房打开水,正好遇到他的母亲。也许是瞧着我和她的儿子年纪相仿,那位母亲主动问起我的情况。听完后,她长叹一声,说自己的儿子和我同龄,现在前途未卜。
这样的压抑和失落,在这个楼层,几乎每天都在发生。我的安慰,廉价而无力。我正要离开,只听见她低低地叹了一声:“他媳妇还怀着孩子呢,以后可怎么办?”
我的脚步停了下来,心被故事牵扯着。
爱上一个绝症青年,结婚怀孕,不知那是一个怎样的女孩。
故事是男孩的母亲说给我听的,从校服到婚纱,从健康到疾病,不离不弃。
两个人是校园情侣。大三时,男生发病休学,本打算断绝关系,以免拖累女孩。女孩执意不肯放手,甚至东奔西走,为他筹款,最终凑足了手术费。
父亲捐了肾,手术顺利完成。两人回了学校,安安稳稳毕了业。
女孩的父母坚决反对两个孩子的结合。原因很简单,只有一个肾的年轻男孩,难以撑起家庭重担,而且朝不保夕。
女孩铁了心要嫁,不惜与父母闹翻,进入一个陌生的家庭,操持家务、赚钱养家。
就在离临盆不到3 个月时,一场高烧又将男孩送进了急救室……
母亲说到这里就停了,最后,她嗫嚅着说:“早知如此,当初我也该反对他们在一起的。”
有你在便不惧生死
在医院,两次见到杨婆婆和江爷爷这对老夫妻,前后相距不到10 天。第一次,据说是因为杨婆婆感冒,结果刚出院回家没几天又腹泻,江爷爷二话不说,带着老伴儿,匆匆赶到医院。
