After the IV drip was finished, the doctor prescribed more medication, and the woman sat on the hospital bed and thanked Li Xiangdong again.
"Thank you so much, young man! If it weren't for you, I might be dead today. How much did my medical treatment cost? I'll pay you back!" he said, reaching into his pocket.
"Where did my money go? And my candy coupons too!"
Her face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again. She carefully searched all her pockets, but found she had no money left.
"Ah! Auntie, I didn't take your money. The young man who came with me can testify that we carried you to my car and came to the hospital. Nobody took your money."
