Chapter 109 I just can't bring myself to be ruthless
The person standing at the door was none other than Xie Yi'an.
Because of Zheng Lixuan's sudden visit, Zhou Yan was afraid that someone else would disturb Shen Li's rest, so she had instructed the department to refuse visitors to her ward.
Shen Li wasn't too surprised that Xie Yi'an would be here.
She looked at Xie Yi'an in his white coat and asked, "You work here?"
Shen Li recalled that Xie Yi'an's mother's original intention seemed to be to have Xie Yi'an study medicine.
Moreover, Xie Yi'an's mother said that Xie Yi'an herself seemed to have originally wanted to study medicine.
It's just that she's planning to give up.
Later, she broke up with him, and he was heartbroken. When filling out his college application, he followed his mother's wishes and applied to medical school.
Later, he went abroad on an exchange program, and now he has returned to China because he was hired by this hospital.
"Hmm." Xie Yi'an nodded. "I've seen your medical records. A lung contusion must be quite painful. Are you alright?"
Shen Li smiled and nodded gently, "Much better. I could have been discharged, but..."
Before Shen Li could finish speaking, there was a commotion at the door.
"This is the only one."
A hospital bed was wheeled in, but the person on the bed was still unable to lie down due to their injuries and was sitting upright.
All the instruments attached to his body were connected to portable devices, which were placed at the foot of the hospital bed and emitted a regular beeping sound.
Lu Yanchuan's handsome face showed signs of exhaustion, but he was able to leave the ICU and be moved to Shen Li's ward.
He was in a good mood.
So the corners of her mouth are slightly curved.
However, he soon stopped laughing.
After the hospital bed was wheeled into the ward, Lu Yanchuan saw his wife, whom he had risked his life to protect.
She was standing next to her ex-boyfriend, the two of them standing side by side.
I watched as his hospital bed was wheeled in through the door.
Lu Yanchuan's smile also faded.
He raised his hand, pinched the oxygen mask, moved it aside slightly, and said softly, "Why...are you all together?"
Seeing Xie Yi'an's white coat, it's not hard to guess the reason.
But Lu Yanchuan still asked the question, and his gaze did not fall on Xie Yi'an at all.
He stared intently at Shen Li.
After saying just that one sentence, she seemed to choke and wanted to cough, but after coughing lightly, she immediately turned pale with pain.
Shen Li's expression changed instantly, and she rushed forward, calling out, "Yan Chuan!"
He quickly pressed the call button and urged the caregiver who pushed his bed in, "Call the doctor right away!"
Because of Lu Yanchuan's previous critical condition, he naturally received a lot of attention, and the attending physician arrived quickly.
Xie Yi'an is not a doctor in this department, but she still has the professional qualities of a doctor.
Not wanting to disturb colleagues in other departments, I headed towards the door.
As Xie Yi'an passed by Shen Li, he whispered, "Shen Li, I'll come see you again later."
However, Shen Li was preoccupied with Lu Yanchuan's injuries and had no time to pay attention to Xie Yi'an. She simply nodded and didn't even glance at Xie Yi'an's face.
Even when Xie Yi'an nodded, he wasn't sure if it was a nod directed at him.
Xie Yi'an looked in Shen Li's direction, but didn't get a single glance from Shen Li.
He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the weak-looking man on the hospital bed glancing at him with obvious provocation.
Xie Yi'an: "..."
Xie Yi'an frowned as he looked at Lu Yanchuan, but the man only glanced at him once and then looked away.
Instead, she leaned on Shen Li's shoulder, her voice weak and soft, "Li Li, I'm in pain..."
Shen Li frowned and looked up at the doctor, "Can you think of any way?"
"We've already used painkillers. We can't keep using epidural anesthesia for pain relief. We can only let him endure it a little longer. The pain means he's recovering."
Shen Li understood the reasoning behind what the doctor said.
This wasn't her first time in the hospital; she had previously suffered serious injuries and illnesses.
But seeing Lu Yanchuan in so much pain, Shen Li still felt very sorry for him.
The doctor connected all the equipment for Lu Yanchuan and checked the IV drip rate.
I glanced at Lu Yanchuan again. Strangely enough, this patient had been recovering quite well in the ICU...
Or rather, they are actually quite tolerant.
Although the medical staff could tell that he was in a lot of pain, he didn't utter a single sound of pain.
But he had just been moved to his wife's ward, and as soon as he entered, he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
The doctor looked at the worry on Shen Li's face.
Then look at the weak and painful expression on Lu Yanchuan's face...
The doctor understood what was going on and was relieved, leaving the ward.
Still worried, Shen Li asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
Lu Yanchuan was initially angry because he saw Xie Yi'an in the ward, and he wanted to make her feel sorry for him.
As a result, she was really heartbroken. Lu Yanchuan saw her worried look and remembered that she still had injuries that hadn't healed.
Lu Yanchuan couldn't bear it anymore.
He still rested his head gently on Shen Li's shoulder, removed the oxygen mask, and asked very softly, "Does your heart... hurt?"
Shen Li glanced at him sideways, sighed softly, and said nothing.
She wasn't stupid; upon hearing Lu Yanchuan's words, she recalled the situation and timing just now.
Shen Li understood that he had probably just wanted to make her feel sorry for him, because... Xie Yi'an had been in the ward earlier, right?
But no matter what, even knowing that Lu Yanchuan did it on purpose, Shen Li had to admit it.
She just can't bring herself to be ruthless towards Lu Yanchuan right now.
I helped him sit up in bed.
Shen Li brought out warm water and wrung out a towel to wipe his hands and face.
Only after wiping his hands and face did Lu Yanchuan hear Shen Li say, "I know it will make people feel sorry for you, so get well soon."
Lu Yanchuan watched her walk into the restroom, a slight smile playing on his lips.
When Shen Li came out of the restroom, she saw Lu Yanchuan already holding a tablet computer and working on documents.
Shen Li watched him, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the tablet.
In the past, Shen Li felt she wouldn't have done this, because she knew what the consequences would be.
But now...
Shen Li hesitated briefly before walking up and taking the tablet from Lu Yanchuan's hand.
Before making this move, Shen Li had even prepared herself to face Lu Yanchuan's wrath.
But Lu Yanchuan only glanced at her and didn't get angry.
"Take a good rest and don't work too hard," Shen Li said.
The next second, Lu Yanchuan reached out and tugged at her hand, "I can't sleep... so... I was thinking of... finding something to do..."
Shen Li looked at him, and after a moment, she reached out and downloaded a drawing software onto his tablet.
Then she sat down beside his hospital bed and said, "Then watch me paint."
