At the nurses' station, the medical staff and patients' families coming and going all ignored this strange couple and walked right past them.
Just then, the clock on the wall of the nurses' station struck seven o'clock.
Xiao Xia stared at the clock on the wall with an uneasy look on her face. Her mother looked at her daughter who looked distracted.
"Xia'er, are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm fine."
"If you have something to do, go ahead and do it! I'll be here with your dad."
…
The park in the county town.
Zhang Yong arrived early under a large camphor tree next to the octagonal pavilion. He wore a green military uniform, which looked very fashionable and attracted a lot of people's attention.
He waited from sunset to moonrise, but did not see Xiao Xia.
He angrily threw the melon seeds and fruit candies he had carefully prepared for Xiao Xia into the lake in the park, and turned around to leave.
A familiar voice came from behind me.
"Cannon, I'm sorry."
He stopped, slowly turned around, and said angrily, "Xiao Xia, you are too arrogant, aren't you?"
Xiao Xia wiped the sweat off her face and panted as she said, "Something happened at home. I'm late."
Zhang Yong, who was originally angry, calmed down a bit after hearing what she said.
He then asked with concern, "What happened? Do you need my help?"
When Xiao Xia heard this, she thought, "Whenever she was bullied before, he always took care of it. Why don't I let him teach that barefoot doctor a lesson? If he gets into trouble, his father, the director, will take care of him. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? It would also make me feel better."
When she thought of this, she said to him, "Zhang Yong, I'm afraid you can't help me with this."
Zhang Yong was displeased when he heard this. He said in a calm voice, "Aren't you judging me through the crack in the door? Are you looking down on me?"
"That's not what I meant. You really can't do this."
"There's nothing I can't do in this county. What happened? Tell me."
Xiao Xia stammered and recounted what had happened.
When Zhang Yong heard this, he looked at her in disbelief.
"Xiao Xia, I think you're just telling stories. There's no such thing in the world. I wouldn't believe it even if you kill me."
"It's true, I didn't lie to you, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid. I'm willing to risk it all for you. Tell me, what do you want me to do to relieve the hatred in your heart?"
Xiao Xia leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear.
"You mean to say that you want her to suffer the same pain you went through, and then kick her out of the hospital? It's that simple. Don't worry, I'll take care of it all."
…
In the intensive care unit, Wang Xiaolan was in a particularly good mood when she saw the old man wake up.
When the old man saw Wang Xiaolan, he became very excited. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he uttered "Ah! Ah!" several times, but couldn't utter a word. His face turned red with anxiety.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolan comforted him, "Grandpa, the shrapnel in your brain has been removed. You will be discharged from the hospital in a while."
The old man pointed to his mouth.
Wang Xiaolan knew what he meant.
"Old man, you mean, why can't you speak?"
The old man nodded.
"You just woke up, and your speech function hasn't recovered yet. You'll be able to speak in two or three days."
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Xiaolan looked at her watch and said to the old man, "Xiao Li and Brother Liu are now at the county guesthouse. They are waiting for my news. I asked them to come see you."
The old man nodded.
Wang Xiaolan said a few words to the nurse on duty and walked out of the intensive care unit.
After changing his clothes in the lounge, he walked out of the hospital gate and headed towards the county guesthouse.
At this moment, a jeep suddenly rushed over from behind her and stopped beside her. Before she could react, a man jumped out of the car and covered her mouth with a towel. She immediately lost consciousness.
When she woke up, it was already the next day.
Liu Pei and Xiao Li came to the ward and were so happy to see the old man waking up that they didn't know what to say.
Xiaoli hugged the old man, tears welling up in her eyes with excitement: "Dad, it was Doctor Wang who brought you back from the brink of death."
Liu Pei said from the side, "That's right! With my sister-in-law here, the old man will definitely be fine."
At this time, Director Zhang walked in with a very bad face and looked at him anxiously.
"Did Dr. Wang come to see you last night?"
"No?"
"That's not right? Doctor Wang clearly told the old man to go look for you guys. I went to her dormitory today to look for her, but the security guard, Old Zhang, said she hadn't come back yet."
When Liu Pei heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Oh no, maybe something happened to her?"
Doctor Zhang said, "She must have gone back home, right?"
Liu Pei thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible for her to just leave the patient without even saying hello. That's not her style."
Director Zhang said, "What should we do? Let's go to the police station and report it!"
Liu Pei said, "Call the village where Zhao Lihan is. I'll go to the Public Security Bureau and organize a city-wide search."
Director Zhang said, "Okay, I'll make the call."
Xiaoli asked, "What can I do?"
Liu Pei said, "Just take good care of the old man in the hospital and wait for my news. I have experience in handling cases like this. Even if I have to turn this county upside down, I will get to the bottom of it."
