Chapter 966 Heartbreaking

Li Dong walked straight over, intending to help Xiao Xiao up.

Xiao Xiao, who should have been scared, remained unusually calm when Li Dong approached her.

She stared intently at Li Dong, her eyes filled with an unfathomable emotion.

Li Dong was extremely reckless and pulled Xiao Xiao up from the ground without any hesitation.

Then he took her directly to the doctor and said, "Here you go!"

He practically threw Xiaoxiao to the doctor, who caught her and was completely stunned.

At this moment, Li Dong stared at the doctor, standing motionless.

The doctor was even more bewildered.

The doctor quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly said to Li Dong, "Thank you! Thank you!"

Sure enough, Li Dong's expression changed.

He walked up to Grandpa Qin and said to him, as if seeking praise, "I did a good deed."

Grandpa Qin nodded to him, "Yes, you should do this kind of thing often in the future, understand?"

Li Dong nodded obediently.

Seeing that the time was right, Grandpa Qin glanced at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce understood immediately and said to the doctor behind him, "Take him away."

At this moment, Li Dong's mind had reverted to that of a child.

Although he is not as radical as before, patients like him are prone to emotional outbursts at any time.

So the doctors and nurses practically coaxed and tricked Li Dong into leaving.

Although he left and things calmed down, he had injured someone, so the police still needed to go and find out what happened.

Grandpa Qin said to Qin Ce, "He's just a patient. Tell the police not to make things too difficult for him."

The doctor examined Grandpa Qin and thankfully he was fine. Qin Ce said, "Leave this to the police. Don't worry about it."

Grandpa Qin sighed, "There must be a reason why a perfectly good person becomes like that. It's not easy for anyone."

Perhaps because he had witnessed so much life and death in the hospital, Grandpa Qin's compassion had deepened considerably.

Remembering Xiaoxiao's injury, he quickly said to Qin Ce, "Xiaoxiao was injured by him while protecting me. You should go and check on her right away."

Qin Ce didn't seem to care about this matter, saying, "There's a doctor here."

Grandpa Qin was dissatisfied, "A doctor is a doctor. She was trying to protect me, so it's only right that you go and check on her. I'm fine now, so you should go over there. That little girl has it tough too."

Unable to refuse his grandfather, Qin Ce could only say, "Alright, I'll go now."

On the other side, the nurse treated Xiaoxiao's wound and told her, "The wound isn't deep, but be careful not to get it wet for the next couple of days."

After the nurse finished speaking, she looked up and noticed that Xiaoxiao seemed distracted. She waved her hand in front of Xiaoxiao's eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Were you scared?"

Xiao Xiao snapped out of her daze, smiled at the nurse, and said, "No, thank you."

As she pulled down her sleeves, preparing to leave, she suddenly turned around and asked the nurse hesitantly, "Um, where did Li Dong go?"

"Him? He's been sent back to his ward. The police are investigating the situation. Even if he wasn't taken away by the police, he can't stay in the hospital any longer after what he did."

Xiao Xiao's eyes visibly trembled.

After leaving the dressing room, Xiaoxiao looked at the wound on her arm, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the ward.

In the ward, Li Dong was like a different person. The nurses and doctors were coaxing him to take his medicine like they were coaxing a child.

The police learned about Li Dong's condition through the doctor.

Li Donglai has been in the hospital for over a month; his daughter brought him there.

But a few days later, his daughter disappeared. Strangely, during this period, all of Li Dong's medical expenses were paid on time, without a single day of arrears.

The hospital did its best to investigate Li Dong's daughter, but still couldn't find her.

Li Dong himself is mentally ill, and no matter what you ask him, he can never answer.

Sometimes, if you ask too many questions, he will become impatient and throw or smash things.

Because he had no family members, the mental hospital did not dare to take Li Dong in.

However, keeping Li Dong in the hospital is not a solution, especially after what happened today, the hospital is even less willing to keep him there.

The doctor pleaded with the police, "Officers, please think of a way to help him. We are really scared about his condition. This hospital sees so many patients every day. If something really happens, our hospital can't take responsibility."

The police and doctors said, "We understand the specifics of the situation and we will find his family as soon as possible. Please don't worry."

"Thank you so much!" the doctor said, shaking the policeman's hand excitedly.

After settling Li Dong in, the police and doctors left the ward.

Xiao Xiao squatted in the corner and waited until everyone in Li Dong's ward had left before slowly walking to the ward door.

Li Dong sat on the hospital bed, muttering something to himself.

Xiao Xiao walked in, but he didn't recognize her and acted as if he didn't see her, talking to himself.

Xiao Xiao clenched her fingers tightly, her fingertips digging deep into her palm.

Although she tried her best to control her emotions, tears still fell when she saw Li Dong.

When Li Dong saw that she was crying, he chuckled at her.

Xiaoxiao bit her lip and managed to utter a single word, "Dad..."

Li Dong still didn't recognize Xiao Xiao. He was immersed in his own world, smiling at Xiao Xiao incessantly.

Seeing him like this, Xiaoxiao felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

She held Li Dong's hand, and although he couldn't understand her, she still said to him, "Dad, just bear with it a little longer. Once I have money, I will definitely make sure you get better..."

Xiaoxiao and Li Dong barely exchanged a few words before running out of the ward, because she was afraid of being discovered.

As Xiaoxiao emerged from the ward, she could no longer control her emotions and broke down in tears.

Xiao Xiao didn't want Li Dong to stay in the hospital, but she had no choice. If she sent Li Dong to a mental hospital, it would be a nightmare for him.

Li Dong was her only relative in this world, and she couldn't just abandon him to that place where he might suffer endless torment and darkness.

She believed that as long as she had enough money, Li Dong's illness would definitely get better.

Xiao Xiao composed herself and turned around, only to run into Qin Ce.

She was taken aback, "Mr. Qin..."

What are you doing here?

Qin Ce's gaze seemed to carry an inherent sense of oppression. Xiao Xiao swallowed hard and said nervously, "The police just contacted me to understand the situation and asked about what happened."

Qin Ce looked at Xiao Xiao's arm, "How is your arm?"

Although Qin Ce's tone was devoid of emotion, it was still a form of concern for Xiao Xiao.

She quickly said, "It's alright, the injury wasn't serious, it's been treated."

Qin Ce nodded and turned to leave.
