The two patients exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "Isn't your daughter and her boyfriend having an extramarital affair?"

Liu Lan's mother was displeased upon hearing this. "Can't you speak properly? You call yourselves young people? Your thinking isn't as open as this old lady's!"

Didn't someone already say that a marriage without love is immoral?

My son-in-law and his ex-wife were married through a matchmaker; they had no feelings for each other. They also lived apart for a long time, so it was more like they were just living together out of convenience.

He and my daughter were truly in love, their love was stronger than gold, and in the end, they were a perfect couple!

The two patients smiled and said, "Oh! So that's what they call mutual affection? This is the first time we've ever heard of that!"

Liu Lan's mother was so engrossed in her self-aggrandizement that she didn't notice the inappropriate tone of the words and continued to ramble on.

"You young people just don't understand. What good are virtuous wives and good mothers, or being beautiful? Those two things alone can't keep a man."

You men are men yourselves. Tell me, no matter how beautiful or virtuous your wives are, after a while, won't you get bored of them?

Men are never satisfied and always crave novelty. You can't keep a man occupied by constantly trying new things.

The young man opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask what new tricks they had up their sleeves, but he didn't feel comfortable discussing this with an old lady.

In addition, his wound was very itchy and kept throbbing. Liu Lan glanced at him and said directly:

"If you're itchy, just scratch it with your hand. The way you're scurrying around like you have lice is making me feel like my heart is full of weeds, it's really uncomfortable."

The young man was embarrassed by her words. "My wound is itchy because it's healing. The doctor told me not to scratch it because of bacteria."

The middle-aged man chimed in, "The wound on my stomach is also incredibly itchy, but I can't pinch or scratch it, it's so uncomfortable!"

This itching sensation is worse than pain; it's so unbearably uncomfortable, like being scratched by a hundred claws.

Liu Lan's mother pursed her lips. What's there to explain? She's not unreasonable. If she's embarrassed, she should just say so!

The ward was quiet for a while, the atmosphere was a bit dull. Liu Lan's mother, who loved lively people, couldn't stay in the room and went out to the corridor.

When Yu Hai returned, Liu Lan's mother, like a thief, peeked into the corridor and listened to the conversation coming from the next ward.

Yu Hai walked over and patted her on the shoulder. "Mom, what are you doing? Is Dad alright? Has he finished his IV drip?"

Liu Lan's mother was listening to the gossip with great interest and didn't notice Yu Hai coming over. She was startled when he patted her.

"Oh my god, what are you doing? You scared me to death! Don't you know that scaring people can be deadly?"

Hey, by the way, how's it going? Did they catch the bastard who hit the person?

How much compensation can they offer? Is it enough to cover your father's medical expenses?

Liu Lan's mother followed Yu Hai back to the ward while muttering to herself. Just then, Old Man Yu called out to him, "Yu Hai, quickly call the nurse to change the dressing. The water in the bottle is gone."

Upon seeing this, Yu Hai quickly went to the nurses' station to find a nurse to change the dressing. Liu Lan's mother went to the bedside and pressed the call button, "Nurse, bed 308, dressing change!"

Then, he said to Yu Hai, who had returned to the ward, "Are you stupid? You could have just pressed the call button. Why did you run to the nurses' station to call someone?"

Yu Hai calmed down and said, "I was just a little worried because I saw blood coming back out on my dad's hand!"

Liu Lan's mother rolled her eyes. "It's true what they say: dogs suffer because they're born dogs, cats suffer because they're born cats, and those who don't give birth or raise children don't suffer at all."

It seems no one else will do. You two are the closest. No matter how much I take care of you, getting dirty and tired, I'm still an outsider.

Yu Hai said helplessly, "Mom, what are you saying? We all know you're here to help take care of Dad."

"Once my dad gets better, I'll have Liu Lan buy you a new pair of leather shoes. Didn't you want a pair? Liu Lan and I will definitely take good care of you in the future."

Liu Lan's mother laughed, "You've got a conscience after all!"

Yu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject, pointing to the items on the bedside table.

"Who came by this afternoon? Who bought this?"

Liu Lan's mother opened the plastic bag, broke off a banana, peeled it, took a bite, and then said:

"I must say, Yu Hai, the bananas your ex-wife bought were quite delicious."

These things were all bought by your ex-wife. She brought your son to visit Lao Yu this afternoon.

How did Yu Hai know that Lao Yu was injured? He was just admitted to the hospital in the morning, and she came directly to the hospital in the afternoon.

She found out so fast! Are you still in contact with her? Did you tell her to come?

Yu Hai was taken aback by his mother-in-law's question, but then he realized that she had misunderstood.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you say such things carelessly? If Liu Lan hears this, she'll start overthinking things."

My dad was hit by a car this morning. Chen Hong happened to be there and helped call the police and an ambulance. She also notified me, which is how I found out about my dad's accident.

As you know, I've never changed my phone number, and she's never contacted me since the divorce.

"If my dad hadn't been injured, Chen Hong wouldn't have called me."

Old Man Yu also said, "My dear in-law, it was indeed Chen Hong who discovered me first this morning. She recognized me and then called Yu Hai to inform him."

Chen Hong also helped me call the police and arrange for an ambulance. She knew which hospital I had gone to, and she brought the child to see me that afternoon.

Chen Hong came to see me out of kindness, but you talked nonsense and drove her away. I didn't even have a chance to have a proper talk with my grandson.

After hearing what the two said, Yu Hai finally understood what had happened and felt somewhat moved.

"Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up. Dad, I have good news for you: the police have found the vehicle that caused the accident."

The driver has been detained, so you can focus on your treatment. Your medical expenses are covered.

"That's good, that's good, now I won't be a burden to you!"

"He'll have to bleed a lot. He's so old, he might not recover and could end up with a level one disability."

If we don't give the driver who caused the accident a good beating, he'll think the main roads of Jinan are his own backyard, driving however he wants and not caring if he hits someone.

Old Yu was lucky; if he'd bumped into something else important, he'd be dead and in the morgue by now.

Yu Hai didn't dare to respond to his mother-in-law's words, but he thought to himself: Who wouldn't want to ask the other party for more money? But it's not up to them to decide.

If they could make all the decisions, what would be the point of having police? Besides, the specific amount of compensation depends on whether the other party has the ability to pay.

If the other party has no money, he won't be able to pay even if he goes to jail.

Thinking about this, Yu Hai was also very troubled!

Watching my mother-in-law eat a banana, then pick up an apple, wipe it on her clothes without washing it, and start crunching on it.

Yu Hai knew a thing or two about human relationships, so he broke off two bananas and handed one to each of the other two patients.

"Everyone, have some fruit. It was just delivered, and it looks very ripe."

The two patients quickly declined, saying, "No, no, we have enough. Save it for the uncle!"

Yu Hai: "My dad hasn't been able to breathe yet, and he can't eat anything for the time being. We're all in the same ward, so please don't be shy about taking care of him."
