Shen Fu carried the badly injured Ning Wan away from the Ning family and went to all the clinics, big and small, in the vicinity.
Some were already closed because it was too late.
Some refused to treat patients because Shen Fu had no money.
Shen Fu cried and begged them to save Ning Wan.
He knelt down and begged, ignoring the strange looks and pointing fingers from those around him.
It's said that a man's knees are worth gold. But if he could, he would rather exchange this humble pride for Ning Wan's safety and health.
Finally, an old doctor at a small clinic couldn't bear to see Ning Wan suffer any longer and agreed to help treat her wounds first.
Shen Fu kowtowed several times to the old doctor, saying, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
After the wound was treated and Ning Wan was settled in.
Shen Fu ran out again.
Besides the outstanding medical bills, he also needs to get money.
Lots and lots of money!
Shen Fu arrived at the construction site he frequented and, as usual, crawled through the dog hole next to the wall.
Previously, just to be on the safe side, he would only secretly take a small amount of steel bars each time.
But not today.
He has to steal a lot of steel bars to exchange for money!
After a busy night, the curtain that had hung in the sky faded from its darkness. A pale, fish-belly white light gradually spread across the entire horizon.
When Shen Fu returned to the hospital, he was holding 170 yuan in his palm.
Ning Wan was still asleep, lying face down on the hospital bed.
Occasionally, she would murmur in her sleep, "Mommy, I'm sorry, please don't hit Wanwan anymore... Wanwan was wrong, Mommy, I'm sorry..."
Shen Fu looked at the little girl on the bed, filled with reluctance...
...
When Shen Fu returned to the ward after paying off the medical bills, Ning Wan had already woken up.
She frowned and tried to get up, but aggravated her wound.
The excruciating pain caused her to burst into tears once again.
Shen Fu hurriedly threw the steamed bun in his hand onto the table beside him.
He came to the bedside and asked anxiously, "Is it very painful? Wait here, I'll go call the doctor."
Just as Shen Fu was about to leave, Ning Wan grabbed his wrist: "Brother Aman, don't go. Don't leave Wanwan alone."
She pleaded desperately, fearing she would be abandoned.
“Brother won’t leave.” Shen Fu sat back on the edge of the bed: “Brother will stay here and won’t go anywhere.”
He took out the hair clip he had bought the night before from his pocket.
He gently tucked this behind Ning Wan's ear: "This is for Wanwan."
Ning Wan's eyes were red, and tears kept welling up in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Brother Aman. Wanwan ruined the new dress you bought, and Wanwan also lost the money you entrusted to me for safekeeping."
“Wanwan is a bad child. Wanwan can’t do anything right. Brother Aman, I’m sorry.”
She cried fiercely and helplessly.
The shaking of his body caused his wounds to sting.
“It’s not Wanwan’s fault, brother doesn’t blame Wanwan.” Shen Fu quickly comforted her, saying, “If the clothes are damaged, we’ll buy new ones, and if the money is lost, brother can earn it back.”
"My brother will earn lots and lots of money in the future, and he will give it all to Wanwan for safekeeping."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan cried even harder.
Shen Fu was startled: "What's wrong? Why are you crying again? Is your wound hurting?"
Ning Wan shook her head and asked in a tearful voice, "Why is Brother Aman so good to Wanwan? No one has ever been so good to Wanwan before."
Her fingertips brushed against the hair at her temples. She spoke again, her voice as gentle as a breeze: "Because Brother Aman loves our Wanwan very, very much."
Ning Wan stared blankly at Shen Fu.
This was the first time someone had told her they loved her.
She always longed to be loved and cared for, but she was always ignored.
It turns out that there really are people in this world who love her...
...
Tears soaked the pillow. Shen Fu helplessly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Why are you crying harder the more I talk about it?"
It seems like she's been crying ever since they first met.
Ning Wan stopped crying and sobbed, "Because Wanwan is a child, crying is a child's right."
Shen Fu chuckled, offering no rebuttal: "Wanwan is right."
...
After resting at the clinic for a day, Ning Wan's spirits gradually improved.
The next morning, while Ning Wan was still asleep, Shen Fu carefully pulled his arm out of her hand.
Then she tiptoed out of the ward.
After paying the medical bills yesterday, he still had some money left from selling the steel bars, which he was going to use to buy some food for Ning Wan to supplement her nutrition.
There is a small vegetable market near the clinic.
Inside, there was a dazzling array of delicious food.
Despite his craving, Shen Fu went to the steamed bun shop and bought two meat buns and a bottle of milk.
He kept the steamed buns warm in his arms, then ran towards the clinic without stopping.
He had to get back to the hospital before Ning Wan woke up, otherwise she would definitely cry again if she couldn't find him.
After running for a while, Shen Fu keenly sensed something amiss behind him. Several figures were following him furtively.
Shen Fu felt uneasy.
He hugged the steamed bun in his arms tightly and started running wildly.
The men behind them, seeing this, quickly followed: "That kid spotted us! Hurry, after him!"
...
During his time as a wanderer, Shen Fu became familiar with several roads in the vicinity.
Thanks to his familiarity with the terrain, he temporarily shook off his pursuers. But being found was only a matter of time.
Shen Fu dared not delay for even a moment and returned to the ward.
Ning Wan had already woken up.
Upon seeing Shen Fu return, she sweetly called out, "Brother Aman."
