Ji Tong glanced at Gong Yanli, and some strange thoughts flashed through her mind.
What did the man mean by interrupting her just now? Could he have some ulterior motive?
When she saw the man's anxious expression again, she realized she had been overthinking things.
Gong Yanli must be a compassionate doctor, eager to see the child immediately and check on her condition.
The two men followed the middle-aged woman.
The group walked into a residential area near the side gate of the hospital.
This residential complex looks very old. The buildings are all six stories high, without elevators, and the buildings are spaced far apart with very little greenery.
The middle-aged woman led them to the entrance of a building and started walking downstairs.
"How do we go down?"
Upon seeing this, Ji Tong immediately became alert.
She had never lived in a house like this before, and she didn't know where the downward staircase led.
The middle-aged woman quickly explained, "We have no money and can't afford to go to the hospital. A kind person took pity on us and cleaned up the basement so we could stay here for now. I'm so sorry..."
Using the light shining in from behind, Ji Tong asked with some concern, "Is there no light?"
She was worried that this woman might be a bad person.
The middle-aged woman glanced behind her and said, "I'm sorry, the lights here have been broken for a long time. Because it's an old neighborhood and there's no property management, no one has fixed them..."
Gong Yanli thought Ji Tong was afraid of the dark and said, "If you're scared, just hold on to me."
Ji Tong had no right to arrest him.
Thinking about Gong Yanli's skills just now, even if there are bad guys down there, he should be able to handle them.
"Then you go first, I'll follow."
Ji Tong went down two steps.
There aren't many steps leading to the basement.
Ji Tong carefully stepped down the steps.
As they were walking forward, the man in front of them suddenly stopped.
Ji Tong didn't react in time and bumped directly into the man.
Thinking something had happened, she was about to say something when Gong Yanli squeezed her hand and whispered, "We've arrived."
Realizing that the behavior was inappropriate, they quickly let go.
The middle-aged woman in front opened the door with a key.
"Mom..." came a weak little girl's voice, "I'm hungry."
The middle-aged woman entered the house, and Gong Yanli stood at the door.
Ji Tong stood behind Gong Yanli, looking around at the basement in front of him.
The room was probably less than four square meters. There was a folding bed, an old shoe rack for storing things, and cardboard boxes for storing clothes.
The middle-aged woman sat on the bed and picked the girl up. "Xiaohua, I'm sorry. Mommy just met this doctor uncle and didn't have time to go to the hospital to get you some food. Wait a bit, after the doctor uncle finishes his appointment, Mommy will go get you some food, okay?"
"……good."
The little girl spoke obediently.
His tone sounded very weak, clearly indicating that he was very hungry.
Ji Tong quickly looked down and rummaged through her bag. "I have some chocolate here. Why don't you let the child have some first?"
The space was too small, so she could only hand the chocolate to Miyazaki.
Those chocolates are Ferrero Rocher.
When Gong Yanli held it, the child's eyes were fixed on the chocolate.
The middle-aged woman was a little embarrassed: "No need, no need, I'll go get her food in a bit. I've already arranged with the hospital cafeteria staff that they'll give us some leftovers every day."
Gong Yanli still handed out the chocolate, saying, "Eat some first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to see a doctor."
Upon hearing this, the woman took the chocolate, tore off the gold wrapper, and handed the chocolate to her daughter.
The little girl looked to be about three or four years old. Children of this age usually have chubby cheeks, but this girl was skin and bones, with no flesh on her cheeks at all.
Ji Tong had assumed that she would wolf down the chocolates once she received them.
But the children couldn't bear to part with it and licked it little by little with their tongues.
Gong Yanli said, "You eat first, and I'll check on your condition."
Upon hearing this, the child carefully placed the chocolate aside.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tong felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Gong Yanli didn't try to persuade her. He squatted down, felt the child's temperature, checked the basic situation, and asked about the child's mother. He said, "Further examination is necessary. I'll call an ambulance to take you to our hospital for an examination."
