Xia Wan was genuinely surprised that Li Chengjun had actually called Dr. Liang.

After all, she never intended to use that note at this moment. If she could solve the problem on her own, she could avoid the trouble of owing favors to others.

However, since Dr. Liang brought up this matter now, it must be because Li Chengjun explained it to him in great detail.

Otherwise, how could Dr. Liang have identified them so easily when neither party had revealed any information?

"Taozi, we must sincerely thank Chengjun after we get back! I never expected him to be so thoughtful and meticulous."

Xia Jianguo noticed the astonished look on his daughter's face and, without giving her time to think or react, quickly interrupted her, saying, "No matter what, we still sincerely thank Dr. Liang. We'll probably need to trouble you a lot during your hospital stay!"

When he met Dr. Liang's gaze, Xia Jianguo showed no fear or hesitation.

He knew perfectly well that the doctor had intentionally spoken well of Li Chengjun, and he would remember this kindness and repay it. However, his daughter was still young, and he absolutely couldn't let her get involved in emotional entanglements too early, lest she be taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives!

Xia Tao, with his honest and simple face, didn't understand anything: "Yes, yes, I'll treat Chengjun to dinner when we get back."

Dr. Liang smiled gently as he looked at Xia Wan, who had a blank expression. He then shifted his gaze to Xia Jianguo, who was trying to change the subject to avoid attracting his beloved daughter's attention. In his heart, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He thought to himself, it seems that this young man, Li Chengjun, has a long way to go before he can successfully win over the beauty in front of him!

As arranged by Dr. Liang, the family of three first arrived at the ward together.

After a short rest and adjustment, before we knew it, the sky outside had gradually been shrouded in night.

At this moment, Xia Tao slowly stood up from his seat and said softly, "Dad, Xiao Wan, I'm going out to get some food first. What would you two like to eat?"

Xia Wan gently shook her head and replied, "Brother, I'm not very hungry right now. But if you see any pastries or anything like that, please bring some back for me so I can have something to eat when I feel hungry later."

Perhaps because of the long train journey, she felt a strong wave of nausea wash over her.

On the other side, Xia Jianguo casually waved his hand, saying, "Son, don't be too fussy. Just buy some food that will fill your stomach. I don't really want anything to eat right now, I don't have much of an appetite."

Hearing his father and sister's answers, Xia Tao nodded silently, then turned and left the ward.

At this moment, Xia Wan sat quietly by the hospital bed, her eyes gazing blankly at the dark night outside the window, as if her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Xia Jianguo sat quietly to the side, silently watching his daughter, a hint of worry in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Xia Jianguo finally couldn't help but ask hesitantly, "Xiao Wan, let me ask you something, have you been in frequent contact with Li Chengjun lately?"

Xia Wan suddenly came to her senses, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. Her eyes glanced subconsciously towards the door of the ward, and after finding it closed, she spoke softly, "Hmm... I have indeed met him a few times. He and my brother have a pretty good relationship, and he has quite a grudge against that Guo Zhen. A while ago, I asked him about some things."

At this point, Xia Wan paused briefly, considering her options, and decided to avoid mentioning the matter of cooperating with the black market for now. After all, this matter involved many things, and she wasn't quite sure why her father would suddenly ask about it.

Meanwhile, Xia Jianguo, who was sitting to the side, kept a close eye on his daughter, trying to catch a clue from her expression and words.

Seeing that Xia Wan was speaking so seriously and that there was no other unusual expression on her face, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, even he himself didn't know what he was worried about.

To be fair, Li Chengjun's conditions are not bad in many ways, but the problem is that his precious daughter is still young. As a father who loves his daughter, it is really hard for him to be completely at ease!

Just as the father and daughter were talking, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and Xia Tao appeared before everyone. He was carrying several bags full of food and walked in hurriedly.

Xia Tao placed the food he was holding steadily on the table, and then deftly opened each lunchbox one by one.

In an instant, a wave of heat, accompanied by an enticing aroma, wafted over.

However, even with such delicious food in front of her, Xia Wan only frowned slightly, showing no appetite whatsoever.

Xia Tao carefully placed the delicate pastries in front of Xia Wan, and said softly with a smile, "Xiao Wan, come and try these pastries. They just came out of the oven and are still warm. They're still edible even when they cool down, but they taste even better when they're hot!"

Xia Wan nodded. She was well aware of her family's concern and worry for her, so she mustered her spirits, reached out and slowly picked up a piece of pastry, putting it in her mouth and chewing it slowly.

After dinner, Xia Jianguo gazed at Xia Wan with loving eyes and said gently, "Wanwan, today has been quite a tiring day. You must be exhausted. How about we go to the guesthouse together and get some rest?"

Hearing her father's words, Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at her father and answered firmly, "Dad, I don't want to go to the guesthouse. I want to stay in the ward with you."

After all, at this moment, there was no one else in the ward except for their own family members, making it exceptionally quiet and peaceful.

Thanks to Li Chengjun's help, the double room that was originally intended for two patients is now occupied by Xia Jianguo alone.

Besides the bed used by the father, another hospital bed in the room was currently empty and unused.

However, Xia Jianguo gently shook his head, insisting on his own opinion: "The ward is not very convenient. You should go to the guesthouse to rest. It's not too late for you to come back tomorrow morning. Besides, there's only one extra bed here. If we both squeeze in here, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to get a good night's sleep."

Xia Tao chimed in, "Let's go to the guesthouse, Xiao Wan. I just checked, there's a guesthouse right next to the hospital."
