Chapter 633 - Hospital

Li Huowang was inside a clean ward with white walls. There was a cup of water in his hands, and he showed it to Wu Cheng. Then, he opened his other hand, revealing several yellow and green pills.

Moments later, he hurled the pills into his mouth and swallowed them with some water.

However, it wasn't over just yet. Li Huowang opened his mouth to reveal that he had swallowed every single pill.

With the checkup done, Wu Cheng was about to exit the room when Li Huowang stopped him, asking, “Aren't those pills expensive? I don’t mind eating pills like these if it gives both you and Yi Donglai assurance, but I'm not an idiot who's going to take every expensive pill that you prescribe.”

“Hehe.” Wu Cheng chuckled.

“I’m not kidding. I know that something like that happens frequently in private hospitals.”

“If you're free, you should go outside and walk around. Walk under the sun and make some new friends while you're at it. You might get discharged sooner than you think that way.”

Wu Cheng took out a key from his white robe and unlocked Li Huowang’s leg cuffs.

Li Huowang smiled slightly at the sight, knowing that he was one step closer to getting discharged.

Soon, Li Huowang was left alone, and he started pacing around his room.

As much as he didn’t want to listen to Wu Cheng, the latter was right. There was nothing in his room except for a bed.

Li Huowang wouldn't be able to do anything here other than sleeping or daydreaming. He walked out of his room and found that the corridor was full of activity.

Even though most of the patients didn’t want to get close to Li Huowang due to his reputation, their reaction toward him had improved significantly compared to last time.

The patients with regular intervention sessions with Li Huowang could greet him now.

“Bro, come here and watch TV with us in the hall. Titanic is playing, and a nude scene is coming up!” the man suffering from manic syndrome shouted at Li Huowang.

“I'm fine. I'm going out to get some sun," Li Huowang replied. Although he had refused, he could understand why the man suffering from manic syndrome was so excited; the latter's condition had stabilized, after all, and he'd soon get discharged.

In a mental hospital, the patients were only looking forward to two things—family visits and getting discharged.

Li Huowang made his way to the small garden behind the hospital. He sat on the ground and closed his eyes, enjoying the warm sunlight. He emptied his mind and refused to think about anything related to the hospital or mental disorders. Right now, Li Huowang wanted nothing more than to enjoy this brief respite.

“His family is rich? Then, how come they haven't been visiting him?” Zhao Ting asked. She followed closely behind Li Huowang and asked more questions.

Everyone was afraid of Li Huowang, but Zhao Ting knew that Li Huowang was kind.

“Hahaha, it's all because people like him are no better than those with mental illnesses. Those from rich families will be shoved into private hospitals, while those with little money are thrown into government hospitals. If their family thinks of them as their family members, then they'll probably just chain them up in their own house. Otherwise, they'd throw them onto the streets. They would then have to live by rummaging around trash cans.”

Zhao Ting seemed to have recalled a painful memory upon hearing Li Huowang's words. Her steps came to an abrupt halt, and her face twisted in agony.

Li Huowang didn't notice that and continued walking down the corridor. He didn’t go to the hall, as it was most likely packed with people. He walked around, inspecting the many different facilities of the hospital to memorize the hospital's layout.

Unfortunately, the regular wards looked the same as the other wards.

The kitchen and offices were off-limits to Li Huwang, but he walked around until he found the intensive care area.

The patients with severe illnesses and episodes were kept in isolation here.

The place was quite big, but the corridor was quiet.

Li Huowang also felt like he was entering a prison rather than a hospital floor.

Li Huowang walked up to a heavy-looking door and peeled into the room through the window.

He looked around and saw that it was empty.

Li Huowang looked into the second room and saw nothing too.

What’s going on? Is the hospital only accepting those with mild issues? I guess that's an easy way to earn money.

Li Huowang was about to leave when he heard a faint knocking on the door at the end of the corridor.

Hm? There’s actually someone here? Li Huowang stared at the room and approached it.

It was eerie; the knocking intensified the closer he got to the door.

Bam! Bam! Bam!
