After Bai Xiaoruo's wound was re-bandaged, she lay down to rest.
The hospital's director, chief physician, and attending physician all came to Bai Xiaoruo's ward, bowing repeatedly in apology.
"Mr. Xian, this is truly our mistake. That young nurse is just an intern who has only been here for a few days and is not very knowledgeable. We hope you can calm down. Our hospital will provide you and Ms. Bai with the best compensation."
"Compensation? What compensation? Do you think our Xuan family is short of money for your medical expenses? If anything happens to her, I can have this hospital demolished into a pile of rubble in a heartbeat, do you believe me?"
When something goes wrong, all they do is find some intern to take the blame. Isn't that a sign of the hospital's incompetence?
Knowing Bai Xiaoruo's identity and the fact that she was staying in such a ward, how could they dare to send an intern to take care of her? If something went wrong, could they afford to take responsibility?
"Believe me, Mr. Xian, you are a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against us little people. Miss Bai just had surgery, and there was no need to change the dressing so soon. I don't know what was wrong with that intern, causing Miss Bai's wound to bleed again. We will fire that intern in a moment and guarantee that we will never hire her again!"
"Hmph, it's not just your hospital that won't hire her; I want all the hospitals in L City to be too afraid to hire her!"
L City is a first-tier city in China. If she offends the Xuan family, even the hospitals in L City will no longer dare to hire her. If word gets out, that nurse will not only lose all reputation in the hospitals in L City, but other cities may also be hesitant to take her in.
"Yes, yes, we will definitely do as instructed."
Bai Xiaoruo had been asleep, but hearing so many people talking woke her up instantly. Hearing them discussing how to deal with the nurse from earlier, she endured the pain, slowly shifted her body, and reached out to tug at Xian Mingyu's sleeve, "No..."
"Huh? What did you say?" Seeing Bai Xiaoruo wake up, Xuan Mingyu quickly sat down beside her, carefully letting her lean against him to make herself more comfortable. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
His gentleness was rare, but Bai Xiaoruo wasn't in the mood to enjoy how good and considerate he was to her. Instead, she was concerned about how he treated the young nurse.
"I'm fine... At worst, we can just transfer her to another department. Don't fire her... She just did it on purpose, she meant no harm..."
"Bai Xiaoruo, do you really think you're some kind of benevolent bodhisattva? She just hurt you so badly..."
"Hmph! I don't care... If you fire her, while you're at it, throw me out of here too... At worst, I'll just give up treatment and go home myself."
This was the first time Bai Xiaoruo dared to openly challenge Xian Mingyu, and it was all for the sake of that little nurse whose name she didn't even know.
Although Bai Xiaoruo only spent a few hours with the nurse, she could tell that the nurse was truly passionate about her job and took great care of her, feeding her and wiping her body with great care. She was a very cheerful young woman.
She and I are actually about the same age, so why make things difficult for a girl who is new to the area? One day, I will also go out for an internship or a job, and I will also encounter difficulties. If someone can lend a helping hand to me at such times, it will be a mutual fulfillment and a beautiful thing.
“You…” Xuan Mingyu was completely at a loss with Bai Xiaoruo. She knew that he would soften his heart and that even if he didn’t like her, he couldn’t just throw her out while she was still injured.
He gently pinched her fair cheek, leaned closer to her, and said, "You're alright now, but I'm still not happy. I'll forgive that nurse, but how are you going to make it up to me?"
Xuan Mingyu suddenly leaned closer, and Bai Xiaoruo turned her face away uncomfortably. "It wasn't you who got hurt, what compensation do you want?"
“I said I want it, so I want it.” He pinched her little face, finding her more and more adorable, and made a move to kiss her.
Suddenly remembering that so many eyes were watching him in the ward, his face darkened. He turned to the people still standing there dumbfounded by the bedside and yelled, "What are you looking at? Get out of here! Do as she just said!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Since Xuan Mingyu had given the expulsion order, the dean, the director, and the attending physician immediately hurriedly left.
"etc!"
"President Xuan, is there anything else you need?" The dean walked at the very back, nervously clenching his hands. Could it be that they were going to be punished again?
"Anyone who dares to tell anyone about what happened today is going against the entire Xian family, do you hear me!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xian, please rest assured, we will definitely keep our mouths shut!"
"roll!"
The dean dared not hesitate for a moment longer, turned around and quickly went out, closing the door behind him.
Only Bai Xiaoruo and Xuan Mingyu remained in the ward.
"Why are you being so fierce?" Xuan Mingyu's loud shout startled Bai Xiaoruo, who was in his arms.
Those people didn't do anything wrong, so why can't they just talk properly?
But in Xuan Mingyu's view, Bai Xiaoruo's words had another meaning: "Bai Xiaoruo, you have quite a lot of kindness to offer, you even felt sorry for those old men just now, right?"
What do you mean by "old man"? This guy has such a bad temper, I don't know what's wrong with him, he just started lashing out at her like that. She muttered under her breath, "Aren't you an old man yourself..." He's a full eight years older than her, so to her he's an uncle too.
"What did you say?" She spoke too softly, and he didn't hear her clearly.
