"Maybe he's still busy. It's not even nine o'clock yet, and he's usually free after half past ten."
Chen Chuan was not surprised. With several part-time jobs a day, he didn't have much free time to chat.
Luo Qilin suggested: "That makes sense. How about this, we go find him directly."
"No problem, let's go!"
"Okay, let's take a taxi."
Chen Chuan came by car, but it was obviously not suitable to drive at this time. The two walked to the intersection, stopped a car and went straight to Xiao Ming's third part-time job.
About half an hour later, the two arrived outside the restaurant.
After looking at the door for a long time, Chen Chuan didn't see Xiao Ming, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
The two continued to wait outside for half an hour. It was already ten o'clock, but they still didn't see anyone.
"Wait here, I'll go ask."
Chen Chuan walked towards the restaurant door. The receptionist at the door saw him and asked with a smile if he wanted to have a meal.
"Miss, let me ask you something. Is there someone named Xiao Ming here?"
Chen Chuan's warm smile immediately captivated the receptionist.
"Xiao Ming? There is such a person. Is little brother his friend?"
"Well, I'm his good friend. Is he at work now?"
The receptionist quickly shook her head and said in surprise, "You don't know yet?"
"Know what?"
Chen Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
"He was in a car accident this afternoon and should be in the hospital now!"
"What!"
Chen Chuan was startled by the sudden news and quickly asked, "Do you know which hospital he is in?"
"I heard from my colleagues that the manager sent him to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on Pedestrian Street. I don't know the details. How about I ask our manager for you?"
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
Chen Chuan looked stern, pacing back and forth anxiously at the door.
About two minutes later, the receptionist came back jogging.
"I've asked for details. It's Bed 18, Department 2 of Orthopedics, Pedestrian Street Chinese Medicine Hospital."
"Thank you so much!" Chen Chuan said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Go check it out. I heard the situation is pretty serious."
"good!"
Chen Chuan quickly returned to Luo Qilin, his face slightly grim as he said, "Xiao Ming was in a car accident. Come with me to the hospital."
"What the hell?"
Luo Qilin looked at Chen Chuan in disbelief as if he had heard a bolt from the blue.
"Hurry up and go! It's at the Second Orthopedics Department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on Pedestrian Street. No wonder you haven't replied to my messages. Damn it!"
The two of them hurriedly called a car and rushed to the Pedestrian Street Chinese Medicine Hospital. After arriving at the hospital, they went straight to the surgical inpatient floor on the 17th floor of the inpatient department.
In wards 17 and 18, Xiao Ming lay pale on the bed. Opposite him, a woman in cartoon pajamas sat on the edge of the bed.
"Can you please stop groaning? Didn't you take painkillers?"
"Are you still a man? Is it necessary for you to scream non-stop due to a little pain?"
The woman in cartoon pajamas is Xiao Ming’s wife, Wang Li.
At this moment, she looked impatient and kept muttering.
"Look at you, you were driving an electric car and yet you got hit by a car. Do you have any sense of being a mature man?"
"Such a grown-up person, don't you know how to observe road safety?"
"Now it's okay. It's okay that you can't work, but I still have to serve you in the hospital."
"You've only saved a few dollars in the past few years, and now something like this has happened, it's like you're back to the days before liberation."
"I was so blind to marry you, living this hopeless and miserable life with you."
Xiao Ming's chest heaved as he listened, and his expression became extremely ugly.
"Wang Li! Do you still have any conscience?"
"Have I not been good enough to you in the past two years? Have I ever asked you to work a single day? Think about it, you have been married to me for so long, how many meals have you cooked, how many times have you washed clothes?"
"I give you all the money I earn. I work so late every day, but have you ever said anything kind?"
"You eat, drink and have fun at home every day. Have you ever thought about whether I'm working hard and tired outside?"
He was already weak, and now he was emotionally agitated and looked extremely ugly.
"Xiao Ming, you're pretending to be sick, aren't you? You still have the energy to talk back!"
"That's not what you said when you slept with me. You said you would support me forever. How come you're tired of me after such a short time?"
"If I hadn't been deceived by your sweet words, would I have ended up in such a miserable state? Do you know that my best friends are laughing at me behind my back? They're all decked out in gold and silver, but look at me. Do I have anything valuable on me?"
"Besides, why are you working so hard out there? It's because you're incompetent! If you were capable, you'd be a CEO sitting in an air-conditioned office, instead of toiling away doing odd jobs all day!"
"How dare you blame me? It seems my best friend is absolutely right. A man like you is not worthy of my lifelong trust!"
