We sped along, and the journey that usually takes forty minutes was completed in less than twenty minutes today.
In the parking lot, Dean Liao was pacing anxiously. He had already prayed to every god in the world in his heart. If he could, he would even kneel down and kowtow to God.
If anything unexpected happens to the old man while he's here, he'll be torn to shreds.
The roar of a car engine came from the gate. Dean Liao turned his head and saw the very familiar black sedan speeding towards them. He couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Li Chu had already opened the car door and gotten out. As he walked quickly to the back, he asked, "Dean Liao, what exactly happened? How did the old man fall?"
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.
By all accounts, the person in front of him was practically his direct supervisor, and Dean Liao jogged alongside Li Chu.
"Director, it's our fault. We didn't clean thoroughly enough. The old man slipped on a small stone while he was out for a walk and fell."
"Isn't anyone with you? Where are your bodyguards? Where are your personal protectors?"
“They…they’re all a bit far from the old man.” Sweat streamed down Dean Liao’s forehead.
He hadn't felt anything before, but this time, after walking just a few steps alongside Li Chu, he felt like he was being crushed by Li Chu's aura, and even breathing seemed a little difficult.
"Where's the old lady? How is she?"
"The old lady is alright, just a little nervous, so her blood pressure is a bit high."
After passing through the administration building and following the path around the earthen hill, we were finally almost there.
"Dean Liao, immediately take people to clear a road wide enough for a 140-meter-wide vehicle to drive directly to the back. This way, if any of the elderly comrades who come to stay in the future feel unwell, the ambulance can drive right up to them without having to carry them out. If something unexpected happens on the way, you can't bear the responsibility."
"Understood, Director. We'll begin this afternoon."
"Well, for safety reasons, what can you do to make the road a little more concealed, and then place some push-pull barricades on the road? Normally, you can lock them with chains, so they can't be easily pushed aside, and safety will be guaranteed."
"yes"
As they spoke, they arrived at the old man's small building. A sentry from the sanatorium was standing at the gate, and he quickly saluted the two of them as they approached.
Old Wu's two guards stood motionless in the courtyard; their superiors had not yet arrived.
There were also several other caregivers standing at the doorway.
Zhang Jianshe was also standing there, but he didn't see Nurse Chen, who was next to Uncle Wang.
Several elderly residents were sitting inside, including Uncle Wang. When Li Chu came in, Uncle Wang pointed to the bedroom, indicating that he should go in.
The old man lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and two doctors from the sanatorium handed him the X-rays that had just been taken.
"Director, the X-ray shows that the old man's bones are fine."
Li Chu looked at the X-rays and felt half relieved. If the bones were okay, things would get better. Many elderly people lose their will to live because they fall and cause bone problems due to their age.
He handed the film back and went to the bedside to take the old man's pulse.
"Phew~" After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had taken good care of the old man over the past few years, and there was nothing seriously wrong with him. The reason he fainted was just because he was a little too nervous at the time, and it was just a form of self-protection by his body.
He reached out and pressed on the old man's body a few times, and he slowly woke up a few minutes later.
"Xiao Chu, I've called you all over."
"Uncle, let's not talk about anything else yet. First, check if there's anything that's bothering you."
Li Chu bent down, looked at the old man, and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the old man said nothing more and lay there, carefully contemplating the experience.
"Nothing else is wrong, except that my right ankle hurts a bit."
"That's where you twisted it. The medicine has been applied, the bone is fine, it just needs some rest, don't worry!"
"Hehe, seeing you makes me stop worrying!"
"Uncle, I'll give you an acupuncture to help you sleep a little longer and get more rest. That way you'll recover faster. I'll go tell Auntie not to worry. When she saw you like that, her blood pressure went up."
"Okay, let me sleep a little longer. My head is a bit dizzy. Tell your aunt not to worry unnecessarily, I'm fine."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Chu took out acupuncture needles from his bag and handed them to the health care doctor, asking him to disinfect them.
Only then did he realize that the special nurse who had always been by Wu Lao's side was not there, presumably having been taken away.
After giving the old man acupuncture and letting him fall asleep, he finally went out.
"Gentlemen, don't worry, he's fine, his bones are healthy, and I've put him to bed now. Please don't overthink things, and take good care of yourselves, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with all the work."
Hearing that he still had the energy to talk back, the old men were relieved. They had been extremely worried when they heard that his bones were alright.
"Alright, everyone, let's not sit here and cause trouble. Since everyone's alright, let's go back first and come back to check on them when they wake up. Xiao Chu, go check on your Aunt Wu in that room over there. She was really dizzy just now and is resting there. Your Aunt Wang and Nurse Chen are inside."
"Okay, Uncle, I'll be right there."
After watching the elderly men being helped away by his caregivers, Li Chu walked to the door of another room and gently knocked twice.
The door opened quickly, and it was Nurse Chen. When she saw the person standing outside, she quickly made way for her.
The old lady lay quietly on the bed, while Aunt Wang sat on a chair beside the bed. When she saw Li Chu come in, her eyes brightened noticeably.
"Xiao Chu, you're here."
Aunt Wu on the bed opened her eyes instantly and tried to sit up, but Li Chu quickly went over and pressed down on her shoulders to prevent her from getting up.
"Aunt Wu, please don't get up. My Uncle Wu is fine. I gave him an acupuncture to keep him sleeping. He's perfectly fine and just needs a few days of rest."
"real?"
"It's absolutely true, it's just a slight sprain in my ankle, everything else is fine."
"Phew~ I'm relieved now. That old geezer really scared me to death."
"Auntie, please don't get too excited. If anything happens to you, my uncle won't be able to recover properly."
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. I was scared by him."
Li Chu took her pulse again and, seeing that there was nothing seriously wrong, took a piece of paper from the table, wrote down a prescription, and asked Nurse Chen to prepare the medicine. She said that after drinking the medicine, she would just need to rest.
