On a late autumn evening, sparse footsteps echoed in the corridors of the hospital. With a tired body and a heavy heart, Li Mei walked into this cold building. The critical illness notice with her stepson's name written on it made her have to face the person who was once closest but gradually drifted away - her ex-husband Zhang Qiang.
That year, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, there was a small restaurant that exuded a warm atmosphere. 28-year-old Li Mei and 32-year-old Zhang Qiang convey love with smiles and eyes in between busy work.
As a cashier, Li Mei always greets every customer with her kind smile, while Zhang Qiang, as a chef, can always find a moment of leisure in the cooking room and cast a concerned look at Li Mei. The love between the two is as strong and lasting as the aroma emanating from a restaurant.
However, their love can only be secretly buried in the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Qiang has a wife and a boy who has just turned one year old, and Li Mei wants to withdraw from this relationship, but she is reluctant to leave Zhang Qiang.
In order to be with Neng Li Mei, Zhang Qiang chose to divorce his wife and re-established a family with Li Mei with his son.
After getting married, Li Mei chose to retreat into the background and became the guardian of the family, taking care of her husband and stepson at home. Under Li Mei's care, the stepson did not reorganize the timidity and cowardice of the family children, but was outstanding, generous, smart and sensible.
It didn't take long for the news of Li Mei's pregnancy to bloom like a flower in spring, which filled the small family with vitality and hope, and they finally had a child of their own.
However, the cruelty of fate is always unexpected, and history repeats itself once again. Zhang Qiang and the new waiter at the restaurant were caught on the street by Li Meidang. Unable to bear such humiliation, Li Mei lost her own child.
Zhang Qiang's betrayal and Li Mei's miscarriage were like a sudden storm that destroyed this family to pieces.
The divorce judgment is like a cold order, completely dividing the lives of the two. The one-year-old boy, innocent and innocent, has become the most vulnerable existence in this turmoil. In court, Li Mei's firm eyes and steady attitude won the judge's trust, and custody of the child was awarded to her.
Since the divorce, Li Mei's life has been reshuffled, and she has to refind her place on the chessboard of life.
With her children, Li Mei's world has become extremely difficult. She had to re-enter the workforce, working and taking care of her children. Every day is a great test of her will.
She kept smiling in front of her children, and in the dead of night, the tears would fall silently. Her heart is full of uneasiness about the future, but more than that, love for children and unyielding in life.
Time is like flowing water, taking away the youth on Li Mei's face, but in exchange for her inner strength and independence. She found a new job as a food delivery worker, and although the work was harder, the working hours were flexible and she was able to bring her children to work, which made her feel gratified.
The growth of the child is Li Mei's greatest comfort. Every smile he makes, every "Mommy", is the best reward for her endless efforts. Li Mei knows that no matter how difficult life is, as long as she has children by her side, she has infinite strength.
And today, because of the sudden illness of her stepson Xiao Ming, she had to make an appointment with her ex-husband Zhang Qiang again.
When Li Mei walked into the ward, she saw that Zhang Qiang was already there. His eyes were firmly locked on Xiao Ming, who was lying on the bed, and the former family affection seemed to have become unattainable at this moment. Li Mei's appearance made a trace of complicated emotions flash in Zhang Qiang's eyes, but soon, this emotion was replaced by indifference.
Xiao Ming was lying on the hospital bed weakly, and when he saw Li Mei come in, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Li Meiqiang held back her tears and walked to the side of the bed to gently hold Xiao Ming's hand. Her heart was filled with endless guilt and powerlessness, and how she wished she could bear all the pain for this child.
There was a strong smell of disinfectant in the air, which was like a sharp knife, stabbing Li Mei's heart. She looked up at Zhang Qiang, hoping to find a trace of warmth in his eyes that she cared for the child together, but she only saw indifference and alienation.
Zhang Qiang's gaze never left Xiao Ming, but there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth. His words were full of reproach: "Is this how you take care of your children? If it weren't for you, how could Xiao Ming ......”
Li Mei's heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and her tears finally couldn't help but slide down. She knew that what Zhang Qiang said was the truth, if it wasn't for life, if it wasn't for that meager salary, how could she let Xiao Ming be hurt like this?
Xiao Ming looked at everything in front of him, his little hand held Li Mei's hand tightly, and although his body was weak, he still tried to squeeze out a smile: "Mom, don't cry, I'm fine." ”
This scene made everyone present fall silent. Although Zhang Qiang's heart also had waves, his face still had that indifferent expression. Li Mei hugged Xiao Ming tightly, her heart full of incomprehension of this world and fear of the future.
Time seems to freeze, and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant water and the heaviness of illness. Li Mei stood nervously beside the hospital bed, holding Xiao Ming's pale little hand in her hand. The doctor has just informed her that Xiao Ming's leukemia has taken a turn for the worse and that she needs a blood transfusion immediately**, otherwise her life will be unsustainable.
Li Mei's heart was like a knife, she knew that what Xiao Ming needed was a special life-saving gift - blood. But Xiao Ming's blood type is extremely rare, and the hospital's blood inventory is far from enough to meet the demand. In desperation, she found Xiao Ming's biological father Zhang Qiang, hoping that he could lend a hand.
In the corridor of the hospital, Li Mei and Zhang Qiang stood face to face, and the voices around them seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the conversation between them.
Li Mei's voice was pleading: "Zhang Qiang, Xiao Ming, he ......."He needs a blood transfusion, can you ......”
A trace of hesitation flashed on Zhang Qiang's face, and his gaze was evasive, unwilling to look directly into Li Mei's eyes. His silence made the air even more solemn.
I know you have your new life, but Xiao Ming is innocent, he just needs a chance to live. Li Mei's words were full of despair.
Finally, Zhang Qiang spoke, his voice cold and firm: "Li Mei, I'm sorry, but I can't do that." I have a life of my own, and I can't affect my health and future because of this child. ”
Li Mei's heart sank to the bottom, and her eyes were full of disbelief. She never thought that Zhang Qiang would refuse her child's life for help so coldly.
Tears blurred her vision, but the power of her mother's love made it impossible for her to give up. She took a deep breath, and her voice suddenly became firm: "Okay, if you don't save Xiao Ming, can you cooperate with me to do IVF and use umbilical cord blood to save Xiao Ming!" ”
Zhang Qiang was stunned, he didn't expect Li Mei to make such a decision. He looked at Li Mei's resolute back, and a trace of complicated emotions welled up in his heart, but soon, he turned around and left.
The lights of the hospital were dim and deserted, and Li Mei's figure seemed particularly lonely in such an environment. She doesn't know what the future holds, but she knows that no matter what, she will go on strongly, for Xiao Ming, and for herself.
