"Yes, these are the two people. How come you ran into them earlier?" The nurse knew that Dr. Zhao had assigned a relative to the double room. If the other party hadn't had a note from the hospital director, she wouldn't have given the room away. It just goes to show that rank can be incredibly powerful; nobody like them can afford to offend anyone.
"Yes, I saw them just now. I was also wondering if this is the only double room left in the hospital?" Qiao Dashan didn't like to force people; after all, he was a step too late.
"Yes, this is the only room left. There are three rooms in total; the other two were booked in advance. The patient and their family have already checked in, so we can't reassign them," the nurse explained with a smile, though she felt a bit pressured. How should she explain this if Dr. Zhao complained?
If I send her to the dean, wouldn't that offend both of them? Sigh, it's so hard to be a person.
"That's all, thank you." Qiao Dashan had no choice but to return to his ward.
The ward.
When Tao Chunfang saw someone come in, she nodded first, and then went to wake her mother-in-law.
Li Meihua hadn't slept soundly and was woken up by a gentle nudge. She opened her eyes and saw two people standing at the door, a man and a woman. She quickly sat up and put on her shoes.
"Sorry, I took a nap here when no one was around."
"It's alright, we just got here too," Yan Tao said politely, turning to let Pei Lina, who was standing behind him, sit on the bed.
Pei Lina was a little disgusted with the room's conditions, but since she was about to give birth, she had no choice but to make do and sit there.
"Did you come here with your daughter to give birth?" Li Meihua sat back down on her daughter-in-law's bed and asked after sizing up her age.
Yan Tao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, tacitly acknowledging the father-daughter relationship between the two.
He thought to himself, "Thank goodness it wasn't a few years ago when I had the baby; I'd need a referral letter." Looking at the woman's belly, the sudden arrival of the child made him reluctant to let go. His family had only had one son for three generations, and his wife had only given birth to three daughters. She was too old to have any more children. One night, while drunk, he had a one-night stand with this girl. The next day, seeing the blood on the sheets, he had no choice but to accept it.
I told him I was pregnant three months later. During the checkup, the doctor said the baby was already too big to abort. It would harm my body and I might never be able to have children again.
After much deliberation, he finally signed an agreement with Pei Lina: he would give her a sum of money after she gave birth to the child, and that would be the end of it. If it was a boy, he would try to take him back; if it was a girl, he would give her away.
Pei Lina rolled her eyes. Even at this point, this person was still pretending. She found it rather pointless; not saying anything was tantamount to acknowledging the relationship.
She'll get 10,000 yuan after the baby is delivered, which is a pretty good deal.
After the child is taken away, I can go find him in a few months and maybe get some pocket money. Anyway, I'm still young and can have more children in the future, so I might as well treat this child as a money tree.
When Qiao Dashan returned to the ward, he saw them already sitting on the bed. The middle-aged man was peeling an apple, and the girl was lying on the bed, covered with a blanket. He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but they didn't look like father and daughter.
When Tao Chunfang saw that the man had returned, she moved aside and said, "Come sit down and rest."
Qiao Dashan nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Li Meihua winked at her son, and when he shook his head, she knew they must be late.
