Chapter 358 Between Procrastination and Helplessness

As soon as Amin put away the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Sun Xiangyun was already dressed and ready to go out.

——————————————

When Sun Xiangyun arrived, Mu Chun had just received the news that Zhou Ming could be discharged from the hospital on Friday, but because his parents did not come to complete the discharge procedures, he might have to spend New Year's Day in the hospital and wait for the first working day of the next year. Only then can you go through the discharge procedures.

Fang Ming came to the fifth floor, told Mu Chun what happened, and sat on a chair for a while.

Muchun asked Fang Ming if he wanted a cup of coffee. Fang Ming shook his head and looked helpless, even a little depressed.

Looking at Zhou Ming's face that wanted to cry but was holding back tears in the surgical inpatient department of Zhinan Hospital all morning, Fang Ming felt uncomfortable.

Zhou Ming was looking forward to seeing his mother, but he didn't see her for a whole week. As for his father, Zhou Tong, he didn't go through the discharge procedures at the specified time. Fang Ming was speechless.

Fang Ming asked Muchun with a smile, "Can your magic help with this kind of thing?"

Muchun quickly shook his head and denied, "It's not my magic, it's the doctor's magic. If I can't see my parents, the magic can't be activated. We have to think of a way. I'm going to see Zhou Ming in the afternoon, hoping to meet his father. I originally hoped My parents can be present together, but now it seems that I can only talk to Zhou Ming’s father first.”

"His father is an alcoholic." Fang Ming sighed.

“The first time Zhou Ming showed up in the emergency room, I heard from the nurse that there was an alcoholic father, a child who ate balls of yarn, and a mother who didn’t want to show up in the hospital.

Doctor Fang Ming, why do I have a headache about this matter? "

Muchun told the truth, he really had a headache.

"Then what should we do? You don't care? That's okay. After returning on New Year's Day, Zhou Ming will be discharged from the hospital, and you won't have to worry."

Fang Ming stood up immediately after finishing speaking.

"Of course not. I said that the treatment has just begun. No matter how difficult the treatment is, no matter how complicated the matter is, a clue can always be figured out. I will go to see Zhou Ming in the afternoon. Zhou Ming's situation is always the most important. Yes. How is he doing in the hospital these days? "Mu Chun asked with concern.

Fang Ming shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but the few times I was there, the child was silly. I heard the nurse said that Zhou Ming once asked the nurse if he could go out for a walk."

"Going for a walk?" Muchun suddenly became alert.

"Yeah, what happened when we went out for a walk?" Fang Ming asked.

"Director Fang, does he know that when Zhou Ming disappeared in the emergency room for the first time, he yelled and then suddenly disappeared?" Mu Chun tried to help Fang Ming recall Zhou Ming's weird behavior when he first appeared in the hospital. .

"Well, I remember that there was such a thing, and I called the police later." Fang Ming continued.

"Yes, but when I got off work that day, Zhou Ming's father appeared in the outpatient hall. Do you think there is anything strange about this?" Mu Chun looked at Fang Ming, both of them looking at each other.

Then Fang Ming looked away first, "His father was drunk, and then he slept until 4:30 in the afternoon before he remembered that the child was still in the hospital. It was really too much. Drinking really caused the separation of his wife and children." Fang Ming was a little angry.

"One more question, why did Zhou Tong come to the hospital?" Muchun asked again.

"I came to the hospital to find my son." Fang Ming felt something was wrong as soon as he finished answering, and immediately added: "I came to the hospital to find my son, but this also explains why."

Muchun nodded, "Yes, Director Fang is right. This means that Zhou Ming didn't go home at all. Zhou Ming didn't go home until 4:30, so Zhou Tong came to the hospital to look for the child."

Fang Ming shook his head, "Something is wrong here, because the hospital notified the police that a child left the hospital and did not know where he went. At this time, the police must have informed Zhou Ming's father that the child was no longer in the hospital and did not know where he went, right? That's how it works Logical.”

Mu Chun admitted that Fang Ming's reasoning was foolproof, and after confirming his deduction, he said, "These are all fine, so why did Zhou Tong appear in the hospital? Zhou Tong's appearance in the hospital just means that Zhou Ming did not go home and Zhou Ming escaped from the hospital. But he hasn’t been home for so long, where has he been?”

"Where will a second-grade child go?" Fang Ming asked Muchun, and also asked himself.

"So, I'm concerned that he asked the nurse, can I go for a walk, where is he going?"

Muchun took out his notebook and wrote it down - where is Zhou Ming going?

He tore off the page and handed it to Fang Ming. "This question is very important. The question that exists in Zhou Ming's heart may be the original appearance of the ball of wool you took out of his stomach."

Fang Ming folded the paper in half and put it in his pocket. Before leaving, he asked, "Will Zhou Ming eat such indigestible food again?"

"Are you saying [pica] will relapse?" Muchun asked.

"Yes, will [pica] recur?" Fang Ming hoped to get a negative answer.

Muchun shook his head, "Yes, if we only treat Zhou Ming's [pica], we may have taken a dead end. The disease is in Zhou Ming, but the cause is outside Zhou Ming."

Fang Ming nodded in understanding. He felt that Mu Chun needed to write this sentence down on paper and give it to him.

————————————————————————

When Muchun saw Sun Xiangyun, it was already 10:50 in the morning. He originally wanted to have some lunch and go to Zhinan Affiliated to visit Zhou Ming, but now, he couldn't leave.

"Doctor Mu, there are some things I want to hear your thoughts on."

Sun Xiangyun knew the purpose of his visit, and took the initiative to start chatting after sitting down.

Mu Chun handed him a bottle of mineral water, and Sun Xiangyun took it with a smile.

"You haven't been unable to stand up from the chair since then, right?" Mu Chun asked easily.

"Ah, no, it's okay. When I first went out, I seemed to be unable to stand up. I walked for a while and my feet felt stronger." Sun Xiangyun replied.

"That's good. I was worried that your wife would pour a basin of cold water on you again. It's already cold enough today." Mu Chun said, shaking his shoulders.

"Yes, I don't dare to do it anymore. I was scared to death last time. If such cold water is really poured on me, I will definitely catch a cold."

Sun Xiangyun shook his head, opened the bottle of mineral water, and drank it.

"What about sleep? Has your sleep improved? Will the death of your old classmate make you unable to sleep?" Mu Chun asked deliberately tentatively.

"Ah, no, it's okay. I just dream about him. Sometimes he says some weird things to me, and I don't know if it's a dream or if I wasn't asleep at all and it's all just something I thought up in my head." Sun Xiangyun spoke very slowly, as if he was deliberately delaying time.
