258 Discharged
When Yu Bing saw their expressions, she was glad that Jiang Chun had hidden it from them. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep well these few days. After all, if they hadn’t seen with their own eyes that the brother they cared so much about was really safe, no matter what others said, they would be worried.
The door of the ward wasn’t closed, so Xiao Lin saw Xiao Sheng lying on the bed at a glance. When he saw Xiao Sheng’s rosy face, the worry in his heart disappeared. He immediately regained his usual liveliness and shouted with a smile, “Brother!”
Xiao Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the siblings arrive safely. “Did you guys encounter anything on the way?”
Xiao Lin shook his head and kept talking about what had happened along the way. “Sister Jiang Chun prepared buns and eggs for us. The two drivers were very good to us and even gave us something to eat.”
Xiao Li couldn’t see her brother’s condition, but from Xiao Sheng’s vigorous voice, she could tell that he was indeed fine. Her smile returned to her face as she turned towards the direction of the voice.
!!
Xiao Sheng was young and strong. In addition, he had been eating enough food for the past half a year, so his physique was much stronger. His wounds were healing very well.
Because he was in a hurry to bring Xiao Li to get a consultation as early as possible, when the doctor came for ward rounds, Xiao Sheng requested to be discharged tomorrow.
At this time, the doctors didn’t earn any commission from medicine. Seeing that Xiao Sheng was indeed recovering very well, they agreed to let Xiao Sheng undergo another observation tomorrow morning. If there was nothing amiss, he could be discharged.
Zeng Li came to report every day, so he knew that Xiao Li came here to see a doctor. “The two little fellows are finally here!”
The Xiao siblings greeted him politely, “Hello, Brother Zeng!”
When Yu Bing saw Zeng Li, she told him about Xiao Sheng being discharged early.
Zeng Li panicked when he heard this. “Why are you in such a hurry? Stay for another day. You don’t have to worry. I’m paying.”
Xiao Sheng looked at Zeng Li and explained, “It’s not about money. I want to bring Xiao Li to get her eyes checked as soon as possible. Moreover, the doctor said that I can be discharged in my current state. I have something else I want to ask you for help with.”
When Zeng Li heard that the doctor had agreed, he didn’t insist anymore. “What is it? Tell me.”
Xiao Sheng replied, “I want to ask if you know anyone who works in the Medical University or the Military Affiliated Hospital?”
Zeng Li smiled. “I thought it was something serious! My second sister is the deputy director of the Military Affiliated Hospital. Leave this to me.”
When Xiao Sheng heard this surprising answer, he finally smiled for the first time in so many days. He was no longer so worried and his mood instantly improved.
In fact, he just happened to pass by at that time and witnessed Zou Kun’s ambush. Because Xiao Sheng knew Zeng Li, he helped him. However, Xiao Sheng had decisively made the decision to block the attack.
Zeng Li was from S City and his family was powerful. At that time, Xiao Sheng thought that if he could save Zeng Li’s life, he could ask him to help pull strings with the hospital with regard to the cornea transplant. He was willing to spend more money if necessary.
He didn’t expect Zeng Li to be so well-connected. In this case, they might really succeed.
At noon, Yu Bing brought Xiao Lin and Xiao Li back to the guest house. She lived in a standard room, which happened to have two beds. Unless a couple could show their marriage certificate, men and women couldn’t stay in the same room in the guest house. However, because Xiao Lin was still a ten-and-a-half-year-old child, after reporting to the receptionist, Yu Bing was allowed to take him to her room.
Hence, Yu Bing and Xiao Li slept on the same bed while Xiao Lin slept alone.
After taking an afternoon nap, Yu Bing planned to bring the two children around S City. In the afternoon, she brought the siblings to S City’s beach to enjoy the breeze. As Xiao Lin, who only went as far as the county city, looked at the merchant ships coming and going on the sea and the port in front of him, he felt as if he had opened the door to a new world! He described the scenery in front of him to Xiao Li excitedly.
As Yu Bing brought the two of them around, they ate many local snacks. Xiao Sheng’s dinner for that day was their leftover snacks.
The next morning, after Xiao Sheng passed the physical examination, he received a discharge certificate from the doctor. Yu Bing went through the discharge procedures. Previously, Zeng Li had generously paid 1,000 yuan for the hospitalization fee and deposit. Now, 889.52 yuan was returned.
Yu Bing handed the bill and the refund to Zeng Li. After all, it was his money. Now that it had passed through her hands, it was better to check it right here. If the amount wasn’t right, she could explain it clearly. Hence, she said, “I counted it. There’s no problem with the amount of money. You should check it too.”
