The Underlying Reasons I Chapter 14

Police station.

Sitting in the interrogation room, Hua Letang no longer had his previous irritability and anger. He slowly told his story in a weak tone after being angry: "My parents and I like children very much, so my parents have always planned to have another one, but my mother had an operation before, and it took many years for her to recover. I was 17 years old when Xiaodi was born. He was white and chubby when he was born, and very cute. Our whole family was very happy at that time. Later, I was admitted to a foreign university and went to the United States. At first, I didn't know that Xiaodi was sick, and my parents kept it from me. They just said that my brother was weak and always sick. Our family is not particularly Don't be rich. I studied public health in the United States. The study load was heavy and the expenses were high. I worked in the local area to earn money during the winter and summer vacations. I didn't go home in the first few years. Until three years ago, I suddenly heard the news that my mother committed suicide..." When Hua Letang said this, his body shook unconsciously, and he seemed to recall the nightmare at that time: "Dad said that Mom committed suicide by cutting her wrists because she had depression. The blood flowed almost all over the room. I only then knew that Xiaodi had severe porphyria. The doctor said that this disease should be congenital.

My father would tell me about Xiaodi's condition from time to time. I could tell that the situation had not improved at all, and Xiaodi's illness was getting worse. It was very hard for my father to work and take care of his sick brother alone. I once said that I would return to China to work and help him, but he firmly disagreed. He said that I had studied for so many years, and I should see it through to the end. But he was really too tired. My father was in poor health to begin with, and he suffered so many blows, and finally collapsed..."

Several people listened silently - this family had indeed endured too much suffering.

"I returned to China after completing my undergraduate degree. Although I did not finish my medical studies, I did get to know some medical mentors. After returning to China, I sent Xiaodi's medical information to the mentors. As a result, one mentor told me that Xiaodi's disease was probably caused by improper medication during pregnancy. I was stunned at the time. My mother was very careful when she was pregnant with Xiaodi and would never take medicine randomly. It took me a long time to recall that my mother had gestational hypertension when she was pregnant and had been hospitalized for a period of time..."
