Chapter 14: Rage, Powerlessness
Chapter 14: Rage, Powerlessness
"get out of class has ended."
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Chu Mu slowly retracted the long sword in his hand.
After the virtual battle with Xu Qiu, he sparred with several other classmates who were willing to spar, and then began to practice long sword alone to digest what he had learned in class.
Whether it was Zhou Huan's guidance during sparring or the experience of several exchanges, they were gradually transformed into his own things during practice.
It was the last class on Friday. The students were eager to go home, and Zhou Huan had no intention of delaying the class. He gave a brief summary and then announced the end of the get out of class.
Chu Mu was the first to run out of the training room. He returned to the classroom, quickly packed up his things, and put on his schoolbag.
"Old Chu, are you in such a hurry to go home?"
Liu Chang, who followed him into the classroom, had a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Are you not staying to practice boxing today?"
"I've already practiced today's boxing in advance." Chu Mu smiled, "I'm going to the sanatorium to see my mother later."
"Oh, look at my aunt." Liu Chang showed an understanding expression.
He also knew something about Chu Mu's family situation.
"How about this, my dad is picking me up today and he's on his way, so I'll give you a ride so you don't have to take a taxi by yourself." He took the initiative to suggest.
"This..." Chu Mu hesitated for only a moment, then nodded, "Thank you then."
"You're welcome." Liu Chang chuckled, "My dad asks me to learn from you every day. He must be happy to see you."
-
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
At the gate of Qingcheng Second Sanatorium, Chu Mu got out of the car and politely thanked the middle-aged man in the driver's seat.
"Xiao Chu, you are so polite. Please come to our house when you have time." Liu Chang's father had a warm smile on his face and drove away after some polite words.
Chu Mu turned his head and looked at the big words "Second Sanatorium", and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
The school is not close to the sanatorium. In order to go to school conveniently, Chu Mu can only rent a house near the school. Martial arts practice and daily schoolwork take up a lot of time, so unless it is a holiday, it is difficult for him to find time to visit his mother in the sanatorium.
But as long as he has free time, he will come.
The nursing home also took good care of his mother, so he had no worries.
After entering the sanatorium, Chu Mu walked to the intermediate sanatorium area on the third floor with familiarity. Before he entered, a woman with a high ponytail, wearing a white coat, and in her early twenties with capable features walked out.
"Sister Orange!" When they passed each other, Chu Mu stopped and smiled.
Song Ju is one of the responsible therapists in the sanatorium. She has been responsible for taking care of Chu Mu's mother for the past few years.
"Are you coming?" Song Ju paused and looked at Chu Mu.
"Well, didn't you say in the communication yesterday that you wanted to tell me some information about the follow-up treatment? I'll go see my mother first and come to you later?" Chu Mu smiled and did not forget what was said in the communication yesterday.
"Wait!" Seeing Chu Mu was about to go to the intermediate nursing area, Song Ju's heart skipped a beat and he quickly called him back, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "Aunt Li is not here."
"Adjusting the bed again?" Chu Mu understood.
His mother continued to receive treatment in the second nursing home for ten years, during which time her bed had to be adjusted many times, but he did not care.
"Where is my mother's new bed? Please point it out to me, Sister Orange."
"Come with me." Song Ju sighed, "Be prepared."
"Hmm?" Chu Mu frowned, feeling something was wrong, but didn't say anything.
It was not until Song Ju took him into the elevator and pressed the second floor button that Chu Mu's expression turned ugly. "Sister Ju, if I remember correctly, the second floor is the primary convalescent area, right?"
"Yes." Song Ju nodded slightly and patted Chu Mu's shoulder. "I'll explain this to you later. Let's go and see Auntie's condition first."
"Please believe me once, okay?" "Okay." Chu Mu suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.
The primary sanatorium has inferior facilities and services compared to the intermediate sanatorium. For Chu Mu's mother Li Yuhua, there is hope of waking up by resting in the intermediate sanatorium, but in the primary sanatorium, she can only prolong her life.
So in the past ten years, no matter how difficult life was, Chu Mu worked hard to save money and send his mother to a more expensive intermediate sanatorium.
As for a better recuperation environment, Chu Mu’s best efforts were not enough, and he could only let his mother down temporarily.
Soon, the two stopped in front of a bed in the primary nursing area on the second floor. Looking at his mother who was on a ventilator and had a pale face, Chu Mu felt a pain in his heart. He quickly stepped forward, reached into the quilt, and held his mother's hand.
Feeling the warmth brought by that familiar pair of hands, he felt a little more at ease.
"Sister Orange, I need an explanation."
"Okay." Song Ju sighed inwardly, "The intermediate convalescent area has been full for a long time. Yesterday, a family member of a Tengkong Realm warrior came. In order to make room for him, we discussed and decided this morning to transfer Aunt Li to the primary convalescent area."
"This Soaring Realm warrior has the Alliance's Third Class Bronze Medal of Merit. As you know, the family members of Star Warriors have priority in this situation."
"Originally, we should have informed you of this matter as soon as possible, but you said in the communication yesterday that you would come over this afternoon, so we decided to talk to you in person."
Chu Mu said nothing.
Star warriors with meritorious service enjoy a certain degree of priority. This was decided by the Human Alliance a long time ago. It is similar to outstanding talents receiving a certain degree of preferential treatment. This is within a reasonable range.
In this case, the other party does have priority.
but…
"Why my mom?" Chu Mu's voice was filled with anger. "My mom has been in your nursing home for ten years."
"Ten years!" He raised his head and looked at Song Ju, "Can't other patients be transferred?"
Song Ju sighed slightly, "Chu Mu, this is a sanatorium, not a store selling things. There is no such thing as an old customer."
"It was because Aunt Li had been in the sanatorium for ten years that we finally decided to transfer her." Song Ju looked at Chu Mu with an apologetic look in his eyes. "She hasn't woken up in ten years. The possibility of her waking up is already..."
She did not continue.
She believed Chu Mu could understand what she meant.
Chu Mu did understand.
His breathing gradually became heavier. Looking at his mother lying quietly on the hospital bed, his eyes became slightly red and his body trembled slightly.
Reason told him that Song Ju was right.
However, his emotions made it completely impossible for him to accept this result.
Seeing this scene, Song Ju sighed in his heart.
She was aware of the conditions of every patient she treated and felt deep sympathy for Chu Mu, but she was powerless to influence the final decision.
"From now on, Aunt Li's medical expenses will be calculated according to the standards of the primary sanatorium, and a 10% discount will be given on this basis." Song Ju said softly, "This was the decision made by Director Tang of the Sanatorium Department at the meeting yesterday."
"Besides that, Director Tang specifically told me to take you to see him when you get here." Song Ju patted Chu Mu's shoulder gently, "He is very concerned about this matter."
“Perhaps, there is still hope.”
Transit…
A glimmer of hope arose in Chu Mu's heart.
"Please take me to him."
