Chapter 34
The next morning, Jiaojiao kept her promise and went to St. Vincent's Hospital to see Luo Andeli.
The morning sun shone through the window into the room. At the door of the ward, a man wearing a light green short-sleeved shirt covered with various baby animals poked his head in. His soft voice was filled with a ferocious, almost terrifying sound: "Hey!"
Clove, who was sitting on the hospital bed processing documents, turned his head and his cold iris-purple eyes met a pair of clear black eyes.
Jiaojiao, standing outside the door holding some snacks, tilted her fair little face and met Clover's emotionless eyes on the bed with a confused look. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She tilted her head and asked in a voice full of doubt: "Where's my Uncle Luo An?"
In order to match Jiaojiao's scary look, Yin Zheng, who had deliberately lagged behind by half a meter, strode forward upon hearing the words.
When he reached the door, he glanced at the stranger sitting on the bed in the ward, then looked up at the door number. After realizing that he had indeed come to the wrong place, he squatted down and picked up the still confused Jiaojiao. His eyes met the captivating Cloveford on the bed and said, "Sorry, we came to the wrong place."
Cloveford withdrew his gaze from Yin Zheng, and glanced at Jiaojiao in his arms. His voice was low and gravel-like, "Nothing."
Knowing that she had taken the wrong path and scared the wrong person, Jiaojiao felt a little guilty: "Uncle, I'm sorry, Jiaojiao didn't mean to scare you."
Cloveford was silent, his eyes fixed on the virtual file in front of him.
Seeing this, Yin Zheng touched Jiaojiao's head soothingly, picked him up and turned to walk out.
In fact, this ward is almost next to Luo Andeli's. Luo Andeli's ward is just one room ahead.
Maybe because she was carried to the ward yesterday, Jiaojiao, who walked with her short legs today, subconsciously shortened the time and distance and ended up walking into the wrong room.
After the two left, Cloverd in the ward closed the virtual terminal, leaned back against the head of the bed, and looked sideways at the green plants on the windowsill that were vibrantly illuminated by the sun, thinking back to the child just now.
It's so small that it's not even as tall as a person's knee. The ferocious look it pretends to be doesn't even look cute. It's just a soft little ball, and I don't know who it wants to scare!
In the ward, Luo Andeli saw Jiaojiao, who looked a little listless in Yin Zheng's arms, and frowned slightly in worry: "What happened?"
Yin Zheng didn't say anything, but gently patted Jiaojiao's back with his big hand.
All the rare liveliness in Jiaojiao's character was given to Luo Andeli.
Yin Zheng knew that if it wasn't Luo Andeli who came to see her this time, Jiaojiao wouldn't have had the idea of scaring him.
Jiaojiao learned the ability to scare people from Luo Andeli. If Luo Andeli had not scared him two or three times on the way to the central city, Jiaojiao would not have thought of scaring him back when he came here today.
In the end, I scared the wrong person, and I felt guilty and a little embarrassed, which led to me feeling listless and unable to recover.
After lying in her father's arms for a long time, Jiaojiao finally regained some energy.
After recovering, Jiaojiao took a look at the snacks in her arms. After remembering the purpose of her visit today, she got down from her father's arms and sat beside the bed, sharing her new snack, the glutinous rice dumplings, with the sick Uncle Luo An.
"My father bought this for me. It's sweet and delicious. My uncle is sick, so I'm giving it to him." He picked up a glutinous rice dumpling in a food bag and put it in Luo Andeli's hand.
Luo Andeli leaned against the bed with the small dumpling snack in his hand and said weakly: "I'm sick. I don't have the strength in my hands and can't open it."
Hillian Bull, who walked in, just heard what he said. He glanced at the small food bag in Luo Andeli's hand, which was not even half the size of his palm, and then glanced at his extremely exaggerated acting skills. He immediately turned his face away as if he couldn't bear to watch.
"Jiaojiao, come here." Jiaojiao, who was a little greedy, immediately turned her eyes away from the snacks piled beside the bed when she heard his words.
Jiaojiao supported herself on the bed with her hands, climbed up from the bed with her butt sticking out, staggered to Luo Andeli's side, sat down, and took the glutinous rice ball from his hand.
Jiaojiao took the snacks, bit the edge of the food bag with her tiny teeth, and tore it open with a strong pull of her hands.
"Here." He took out the glutinous rice ball and handed it to Luo Andeli's mouth, swallowing his saliva unnoticeably.
Knowing he would be inspected later, Luo Andeli pretended not to notice. He lowered his head, took it in his mouth, and ate it. The sweetness spread in his mouth. He said in an exaggerated tone, "It's so sweet! If Jiaojiao hadn't been so powerful and torn it open in one go, I wouldn't have been able to eat it."
Hilly Ambler, who was standing aside and watching his performance, said: “…………”
It’s fake, so fake!
Such exaggerated acting that makes people's teeth itch is probably just used to fool children.
But, he was pretending to be weak and praising her in a roundabout way, just to make a child happy?!
This indeed surprised Hillianbul. He turned his head to look at Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the bed with a smile on her face, trying to find out what was special about him.
Being praised, Jiaojiao curved her eyebrows happily: "Uncle Luo An, do you want more? Jiaojiao will open it for you." As she said that, she supported herself on the bed with both hands and was about to get up.
Overwhelmed by the sweetness, Luo Andeli's mouth twitched slightly. He quickly reached out and held Jiaojiao's head to prevent him from getting up, and changed the subject: "Why were you unhappy just now?"
Jiaojiao, unable to get up due to him holding her head down, wrinkled her nose in frustration and said in a somewhat unclear voice, "Jiaojiao wanted to scare Uncle Luo An, but she went into the wrong room and scared the wrong person. This is not good."
Hearing this, Luo Andeli couldn't help laughing out loud, and rubbed his head: "I didn't expect you still knew to scare him back! That's good, but how come you can't even find the room?"
Jiaojiao, who was rubbed to the point of staggering, tried hard to steady herself, tilted her head back and said seriously, "I'm not stupid."
"Okay, okay, okay, you're the stupidest."
" "Jiaojiao frowned in confusion, realizing that something was wrong but not knowing what was wrong.
Seeing this, Luo Andeli's smile grew wider.
Yin Zheng stepped forward to rescue Jiaojiao, who was being rubbed back and forth, from Luo Andeli's hands, and reached out to tidy up his messy hair.
"Uncle." Jiaojiao, who was lying in her father's arms and only then saw Hillianbul, called out crisply.
"Yeah." Hillianbul responded, and looked at the child's originally fluffy hair, which was messed up and stood on his head by Luo Andeli, and he was speechless.
He could see that this child just had a good temper. If it were an ordinary child, Luo Andeli would have made him cry.
Remembering the gift her uncle had given her yesterday, Jiaojiao got down from her father's arms and walked to the bedside. She tiptoed and laboriously took a glutinous rice ball in a food bag from the bedside and handed it to Xilianbul.
"Uncle, here you go."
Hillianbul looked down at Jiaojiao, and the words of rejection that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back when he met his dark, bright eyes that were filled with expectation.
Feeling the threatening gaze of Luo Andeli, and unable to refuse the child's gaze, Xilianbul squatted down helplessly and took the snack from Jiaojiao's hand: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Uncle, do you need Jiaojiao's help?"
"No need." Hillian Bull tore open the food bag in his hand neatly. He was not as shameless as Luo Andeli, who could order a two-year-old child to do work.
The glutinous rice dumpling was too soft and sweet, not quite to Hillianbul's taste, but surprisingly not too unpleasant either.
The time spent at Luo Andeli's place was almost up, so Yin Zheng took Jiaojiao to do various examinations.
The purpose of their coming to the central city was to get medical treatment, which Hillian Bull knew, so when he tied Luo Andeli up and took him to the hospital yesterday, he also made an appointment for Jiaojiao.
St. Ventherin is the face of the Central City medical community and one of the most influential medical institutions on Blue Star, representing the highest level of medical care on Blue Star. It is the largest and most advanced comprehensive medical system in Central City, with its own medical school and medical clinics covering 54 surrounding cities. It has more than 1,700 clinical experts and scientists and 38 research centers.
There is also a saying on the Internet that if the disease cannot be cured at St. Vincent's Hospital, then you can almost give up the idea of going to other city hospitals.
Because over the years, most of the diseases that could not be cured in other cities have been cured at St. Ventherin Hospital, but the diseases that could not be cured at St. Ventherin have rarely been cured in other cities, with only two exceptions.
People who come to St. Vincent's for medical treatment are at all stages, but the treatment they enjoy is different. For example, the inpatient department and medical resources for the big guys are obviously separate from those for the rest of the people.
The account that Hillian Bull gave Jiaojiao was from the boss's department. The Hillian family had investments in Saint Vincentlin, so it was quite convenient for him to use this internal authority.
When Cloveford finished testing his mental stability, he saw a familiar cub having its blood drawn not far away.
That little ball buried its head in the adult's arms when blood was being drawn, and its other little hand tightly grasped the corner of the adult's clothes. Apart from that, it didn't cry or make a fuss, which was quite surprising.
Seeing the child having four or five tubes of blood drawn in succession, Clover's brows frowned slightly.
What test requires so much blood?
In the distance, Yin Zheng watched helplessly as blood was drawn out from the tender white arm one tube after another. His face became increasingly ferocious, and waves of dull pain arose in his heart, making his whole body smell even worse.
He had experienced this before in Delusion City. Although he knew that these inspections were necessary, he still...
After the blood test, Jiaojiao did not undergo any other examinations and lay obediently in her father's arms. Although her eyes were red and misty, she managed to hold back her tears.
In just one week, Yin Zheng truly experienced what it meant to be heartbroken. He first took out a small dumpling snack from his pocket, tore open the food bag with one hand, and fed the glutinous rice dumpling to Jiaojiao's mouth, then hugged him and patted his back gently to comfort him.
Because of the examination, Jiaojiao, who had not eaten anything all morning, immediately frowned when she tasted the sweetness. She held the small dumpling in her little hands and ate it mouthful by mouthful, enjoying it very sweetly.
Cloverd, who was not far away, withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked away.
It's rare to find a child who is so easy to coax!
