Chapter 49 Family Members

Xiang Pengfei brought Zhou Yuxiang to the hospital. He noticed that Zhou Yuxiang's complexion was getting worse, so he said, "Yuxiang, come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Zhou Yuxiang coughed twice and said, "Go ahead! Go see your aunt and see how she is."

Xiang Pengfei frowned and said, "Don't be silly, you're sick now. Let's go! I'll take you to see a doctor, and then we can talk about seeing my aunt!"

Zhou Yuxiang covered her mouth with her hand and continued coughing, saying, "I'm fine! You can go!"

Seeing her distress, Xiang Pengfei felt a pang of heartache. He walked to the passenger side door, opened it, and tried to help Zhou Yuxiang up, only to find that she was too weak to even stand.

Xiang Pengfei said anxiously, "It's already like this, what are you still trying to hold on for?"

As he spoke, Xiang Pengfei reached out to hug Zhou Yuxiang, and instantly a fragrance wafted over.

At this moment, Xiang Pengfei didn't care about the fragrance anymore. He picked up Zhou Yuxiang and ran towards the outpatient building, shouting as he ran, "Doctor, doctor!"

As soon as Xiang Pengfei entered the hospital lobby, a doctor asked him, "What's wrong?"

"My girlfriend is sick!"

The doctor looked at Zhou Yuxiang in Xiang Pengfei's arms and said, "Wearing so little, how can you not get sick? It's early spring, still quite cold. Wearing just a thin dress, isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"When we went out last night, she said there was air conditioning in the car, so we didn't think much of it, and so..."

"Alright! Let's go! We need to get him to the ER; he'll probably need some good IV fluids!"

The doctor said to keep walking forward, and Xiang Pengfei followed closely behind, carrying Zhou Yuxiang. They arrived at the emergency room shortly afterward.

There was a person standing at the entrance of the emergency room. It was none other than Zhuang Chaoying. When he saw Xiang Pengfei carrying a woman, he was startled and rushed over. After recognizing that it was Zhou Yuxiang, he was relieved but still asked, "What happened, Pengfei?"

Xiang Pengfei quickly replied, "I was with her last night, and she was dressed too lightly and got cold!"

"ah!"

At this moment, the doctor who had arrived first pulled a stretcher from the emergency room and placed Zhou Yuxiang on it.

The doctor pushed Zhou Yuxiang inside, then turned around and said, "Wait outside! While you're at it, go pay your hospital fees!"

"Okay!"

Xiang Pengfei answered the doctor's question, then asked Zhuang Chaoying, "Uncle, uncle, how is my aunt? She...?"

"Sigh, she's also in the emergency room. The tricycle hit her ribs, breaking two of them. Those ribs also damaged her lungs, possibly causing pulmonary hemorrhage, which is why she vomited blood!"

"Oh, what did the doctor say? Is it easy to treat?"

"The doctor said I need to rest and recover in the hospital for a while, and we'll see what happens then!"

"Oh, okay! By the way, Uncle, has my aunt paid the fees? Do you need me to handle her hospital admission procedures?"

"It's all done. Go ahead and get busy! We'll talk again when you get back!"

"Okay! I'll go right now, Uncle!"

Go!

Xiang Pengfei hurriedly walked towards the hospital payment counter. Halfway there, he met Mr. and Mrs. Wu Jianguo, who had come to visit Huang Ling.

As soon as the three met, Wu Jianguo anxiously asked Pengfei, "Pengfei, Pengfei, where is your aunt?"

Xiang Pengfei hurriedly said, "Yes, she's in the emergency room!"

Zhang Amei said in disbelief, "What? In the emergency room? Is it that serious? My poor sister-in-law! You're so pitiful!"

Wu Jianguo then asked Xiang Pengfei, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go and complete the hospital admission procedures!"

"Okay, go ahead! Oh, by the way, do you have enough money? If not, just let me know, I'll lend you some."

"No need, Uncle, this should be enough!"

"Then you should go quickly!"

"Okay, thanks, Uncle!"

"fine!"

Mr. and Mrs. Wu walked towards the emergency room. When they arrived, they met Zhuang Chaoying. Zhuang Chaoying was also moved to tears upon seeing Mr. and Mrs. Wu. She said to Mr. Wu, "Master Wu, what brings you here? We're so busy, aren't we just causing you trouble?"

"It's alright, it's alright. No matter how busy I am, nothing is more important than your matter. How is my sister-in-law?"

"well!"

Zhuang Chaoying sighed and continued, "He has pulmonary hemorrhage and broken ribs!"

"Is it that serious?"

Zhang Amei, who was standing to the side, was also so anxious that she was jumping up and down. She muttered, "My dear sister-in-law, you've had it so hard. No one cares for you, no one loves you, and you still have to suffer like this. It's really too hard for you!"

After hearing Zhang Amei's words, Zhuang Chaoying didn't know whether she regretted her past selfishness or felt sorry for Huang Ling's suffering. At this moment, tears finally flowed down her face.

Just then, the emergency room door opened, and a doctor called out, "Patient's family member! Patient's family member!"

Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly walked over and said, "It's me, it's me. How is my wife?"

The doctor first looked Zhuang Chaoying up and down, and said, "Your wife? Her name is Zhou Yuxiang?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhuang Chaoying knew there was a mistake and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, that's not my wife. My wife's name is Huang Ling. What happened to her?"

"Huang Ling's condition is quite serious. She is currently undergoing surgery to remove the blood clots, and it will take some time!"

"Oh, thank you, doctor!"

"fine!"

After the doctor finished speaking, he looked outside and continued to call out, "Patient's family, Zhou Yuxiang's family!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuxiang's name again, Zhuang Chaoying immediately recognized her as Xiang Pengfei's girlfriend. He then said, "Doctor, Zhou Yuxiang is my nephew's wife!"

"ah!"

The doctor glanced at Zhuang Chaoying again and said, "So both of them are your patients!"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhuang Chaoying said somewhat embarrassedly, "How is she? My nephew went to handle the hospital admission procedures!"

"Oh, it's like this. Your nephew's wife just has a common cold. She can go to a regular ward after an IV drip. To prevent her condition from worsening, we should ask the family to prepare some clothes so she doesn't catch a cold after going to the ward. These young people are really something. It's so cold, and they're only wearing a long skirt without even underwear!"

"ah!"

These words surprised not only Zhuang Chaoying, but also Wu Jianguo and his wife, but they dared not say anything.

Zhuang Chaoying blushed and said, "Okay! I'll tell my nephew in a bit!"

"Alright, you can wait a bit longer!"

After the doctor finished speaking, he closed the emergency room door again.

As soon as the door closed, Xiang Pengfei rushed over, panting. Seeing that the emergency room door was closed, he said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Uncle, Uncle, are you alright?"

At this moment, Zhuang Chaoying was too embarrassed to tell Xiang Pengfei, but she had to speak up, so she said, "The doctor said you should prepare some clothes for Yuxiang. What were you doing last night? She was wearing so few clothes?"

As soon as Zhuang Chaoying spoke, Wu Jianguo and his wife, one with a curious ear and the other with a curious eye, looked like they wanted to hear gossip and wanted to know what was going on!

Perhaps a little embarrassed to speak, Xiang Pengfei lowered his head and replied, "It's like this, Uncle. Yesterday, after I took Mom and Dad back, I went back to the company and saw that Yuxiang had also returned. We were planning to get our marriage certificate, but her brother stopped us and wouldn't give her her household registration book. Yuxiang cried, and I was worried that she would hurt herself by crying, so I wanted to take her for a drive. She was probably angry with her brother Zhou Chengzhi, so her clothes were wet. I made her change, but she was only wearing a single-layer dress. I thought there was air conditioning in the car, so I didn't think much of it, and..."

"Oh, so how did you meet your aunt?"

"It's like this, Uncle. On our way back, I saw someone had been in a car accident. At the time, I didn't know it was my aunt, or Yuxiang asked me to get out of the car to see what happened and help the person. But when I got out of the car and walked over, I realized it was my aunt!"

Did you see the car that hit your aunt?

"I see it! It's a white truck!"

Where is the driver?

"It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly!"
