In My Desperate Time

“All the parts below the patient’s right knee suffered necrosis and need to be amputated. Her head also went through serious damage. Nobody could guarantee the consequence of the operation. After the family member signed, we could do the operation.”

This is another information that almost makes me faint.

But soon I force myself to calm down.

At least, my mother is still alive, isn’t she?

I sign with tears and pay the operation fee. The doctor begins to do the operation for my mom. I sit outside of the operation room blankly, feeling that my life has already collapsed.

Someone should have recognized me. When passing by me, they take out the phone, looking at me and the screen.

I am already numbed. I don’t even have the mood to pick up my phone that keeps shaking in my bag.

The operation goes for four hours. When the doctor comes out, he also sweats profusely.

“The patient’s operation went well. She should wake up soon.”

The doctor’s words make me feel relaxed.

I go into the ward. My heart feels bad when I see my mother’s empty right leg. With mom’s temperament, it is hard to imagine how she would act when she wakes up and sees herself like this.
