Bang took Rainbow and Mike walk a long way to his house. Shown in front of them was a traditional Thai style building with tall woods built along the river, which looked a bit broken. There were some fruit trees around this wooden building, with bottles and cans under the trees that were probably picked up and ready to be sold.
"Mom is upstairs." Bang led them up the stairs. Rainbow saw a woman lying on the blanket, looking pale and dying. "Mom, wake up, I took someone to see you." Bang shook his mother, but his mother didn't react at all. "Mom, what's wrong with you"...
Mike stepped forward and touched Bang's mother's forehead, tested the temperature that was in high degree. He turned his head and said to Rainbow, "She is hot and need to go to the hospital immediately, otherwise her life may be in danger. "
"Ah, what should I do? I have to call the emergency number of the hospital. But I don't know what the phone number is." Rainbow became nervous and couldn't think that seemed like there was mud in her mind.
"Rainbow, calm down, don't panic, I'll call the hospital now, you go get some water, wet her with a towel to cool her down." Mike held her shoulders and say word by word .
"Well, I'm going now." She looked at Mike and did what he said.
"Bang, take her to fetch water. I'll call the hospital to take your mother to the hospital." Mike then said to Bang in Thai.
"Okay " Bang followed her downstairs.
After a while, Rainbow and Bang came up with the basin, and Mike also finished the hospital call. She took the soaked and wrung out towel then put it on Bang's mother forehead, and took another towel to wipe her body. Mike looked at her and thought, "This silly woman, actually her heart is pretty good, but her temper is a bit stinky." The sun shone on her face, making her pale skin flushed. Mike's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, but he didn't notice it .
The ambulance arrived soon and picked up Bang's mother. They both also followed to the hospital.
After the doctor finished the examination, he said to them, "Who is the patient's family?"
"This is the patient's child, and we are her friends." Mike replied.
"Okay, let me tell you about the symptoms of the patient. The patient has dengue fever. It has been prolonged for several days. At present, she has a red rash on his body and must be treated immediately. You should go through the hospitalization procedures first. "The doctor said slowly.
"That shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Rainbow knew that dengue fever was a common mosquito-borne disease in the tropics, but she had not encountered it yet and wass a little worried.
"Don't worry, she will be fine after treatment." The doctor replied.
"Okok, thank you." An Wei thanked in Thai.
"I'll go through the hospitalization procedures, you and Bang wait here." Mike looked at Rainbow and said.
"Okay. Then I will take Bang downstairs to buy something to eat. Bang should be very hungry." She said, holding Bang's hand.
"ok" Mike replied.
"Bang, do you live with your mother? Where's your father? Do you have any other relatives." On the way to 7-11, She asked Bang. With the help of a mobile phone voice translator, she can communicate with Bang , but this also gave her the idea of learning Thai.
"Yes, Bang lives with mother. Dad has left us since i was a child" Bang lowered his head.
"Oh, do you go to school?" she asked.
"Bang hasn't gone to school yet. Mom is usually very busy, picking fruits, making cakes, and doing business on the boat. Bang needs to help. But my mom teaches Bang at home. Bang knows a lot of words." Bang said proudly. .
Bang hadn't studied yet. He was eight years old and need to go to elementary school. Knowledge can change destiny. This may not be the only way, but at least it can be a lot easier.
Rainbow and Mike took Bang to eat in the cafeteria of the hospital, and Bang's mother was already living in the ward.
"Bang, eat slowly, don't worry." She said to Bang, Mike was still her exclusive translator.
"Uh, what are you going to do tomorrow? When will you go to work." she asked Mike.
"I will work from home tomorrow morning, and go outside in the afternoon, what's up." Mike replied.
"Oh,I will take Bang home to take a bath tonight that he can sleep with me, and then I will send him to you tomorrow morning, and you bring him to the hospital before going to work in the afternoon. After get off work, i will visit his mother. How about it?" Rainbow asked anxiously, wondering if Mike would agree.
"Why are you sober-minded now, where is the person who was in a rush at Bang's house not long ago?" Mike made a look of searching and looked around. Rainbow rolled her eyes to Mike. "Okay, just do what you said." Mike agreed.
"Okay, then you translate to Bang too." she said to Mike.
After Mike hired a nurse at the hospital, now it was 11 o'clock in the evening. Bang was already sleepy. Mike held Bang and walked home with Rainbow. The street lamp shone on the three of them, and the shadows on the ground stretched out that looked like a family of three. Rainbow looked very petite beside Mike, and the two of them walked slowly in the dark.
"Uh, why would you appear in the market today?" In order to break the awkward silence, she spoke first.
"Oh, it just happened to be something there." Mike replied briefly.
Then there was a silence again. "Why did you come to Thailand to work?" Mike asked, looking at the road in front of him.
"Well, I was sent by the company." she replied, and then continued, "Thank you today, and thank you for everything." At the same time she looked at Mike, the luminous light shone on him, and under his long eyelashes, that firm and unfathomable eyes made Rainbow want to dig into his story.
"What's the matter with you? The first time I heard you say thank you, is there any attempt?" Mike couldn't believe his ears, this girl with a bad temper, said thank you.
"Oh, I'm really speechless" She said while rolling her eyes, then she said in Chinese, " idiot".
"Are you hurting me now?" Mike asked.
"Oh, I forget that your Chinese is good, it's all understandable, not bad." She smiled. Mike also glared at her. "But you are Thai, why can you speak Chinese? Although you have a heavy accent, you still understand it."
"My mom is Chinese, my dad is Thai. My mom taught me Chinese since I was a child, so I can speak Chinese to my mom at home." Mike had never told anyone about these things before, but in front of her, he felt Very relaxed.
"Oh, I see." She replied slowly. It turned out that he had Chinese ancestry. No wonder he was so handsome because it seemed that almost the mixed races looked good.
