After thinking about it for a while, she began to observe A-mei's expression and found that she didn't show much emotion when she heard her aunt talking about her father. Instead, it was as if she was listening to a stranger.
Logically speaking, a child that young would feel proud or scared when hearing the name of her father, but Ah Mei was very calm.
[My father ignores me at home, and my mother doesn’t care even when she hits and scolds me. Every time I look for him, he tells me to get lost. He must have forgotten about me as his daughter.]
She asked why a child would be like this? Wang Dawei must have done this to A-mei countless times, and now the child has no expectations of him and no emotions towards him.
After finding A-mei's family, Song Zhiyao thought for a moment and said to the aunt next to her, "Aunt, please help me look after A-mei while I go out."
Before leaving, Song Zhiyao touched A'mei's head and reassured her not to be afraid.
Her determined look gave Ah Mei strength. She no longer felt uneasy as before and nodded obediently.
When Song Zhiyao walked out of the ward, she saw Nurse Liu holding clothes and a lunch box of food.
"Nurse Liu, please take care of A-mei first. I have learned about her specific situation and plan to discuss the follow-up with Director Liang." Song Zhiyao said to Nurse Liu with a smile.
Nurse Liu felt respected when she saw Song Zhiyao being so polite, so she carefully took out a steamed bun and handed it to her, "Doctor Song, you've been busy for a long time, so eat a steamed bun first."
She wanted to refuse, but her stomach started to growl. Fortunately, Nurse Liu did not laugh at her. She seemed to notice her embarrassment and directly stuffed the food into her hand.
After giving Song Zhiyao the steamed buns, Nurse Liu did not stay and went in to take care of A-mei.
Nurse Liu had never had much contact with Song Zhiyao before, and she also heard from Cai Xiumei that she was arrogant and rude, and ignored people just because she was a professor and had a good relationship with Director Liang.
Cai Xiumei had said this more than once, and many nurses in the hospital automatically distanced themselves from Song Zhiyao after hearing it, fearing that they would be scolded if they dealt with her, or that they would exaggerate the matter with Director Liang.
Song Zhiyao left after completing the support mission. They would stay here to work in the future, so the nurses did not approach her to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
When Director Liang asked Nurse Liu to go and take care of the patient with Song Zhiyao, the other nurses looked at her with sympathy.
Nurse Liu herself thought that she would be bullied today, but she did not expect that the rumored thing would happen.
Song Zhiyao is so gentle to the dirty child, and the child trusts her very much. The child is sensitive and knows who is good to her.
Nurse Liu became suspicious and thought that Cai Xiumei must have a conflict with Song Zhiyao, which was why she spread rumors everywhere.
But no matter what disputes they had, it had nothing to do with her as a little nurse, and she just did her own thing.
Song Zhiyao ate the steamed bun given by Nurse Liu while walking, and swallowed the rest in big mouthfuls when she reached the door of Director Liang's office.
After knocking on the door, Director Liang saw Song Zhiyao coming over and quickly asked, "Doctor Song, how is the child just now?"
Director Liang also knew that A-mei was probably abandoned. As a doctor, he could only care about the child's physical condition first and deal with other things later.
Looking at Director Liang who looked anxious, Song Zhiyao didn't beat around the bush. "Director Liang, the child's body has been fully disinfected. It seems that the fever will subside tonight. I came here to talk to you about something else."
Director Liang showed curiosity on his face. Could there be any other discoveries besides the condition?
When he was confused, he heard Song Zhiyao slowly say, "Director Liang, I talked to the child and found out her home address. Coincidentally, the aunt who is taking care of her grandson in the ward knows her father."
Director Liang smiled happily at being able to find the child's family. "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Song. If the child didn't trust you, you wouldn't have said this."
When he met A-mei before, he noticed the numbness in the child's eyes and knew that the child was abandoned by his family. Children who have experienced this will be very vigilant.
Before she came, she called him and asked him to take good care of the student.
Song Zhiyao did not respond to Director Liang's words, but continued, "The child's family is very well-off. I heard from the aunt that the child's father is a technician in a machinery factory."
After Song Zhiyao said this, Director Liang also became serious. He wondered why a child from a well-off family looked like he had been hungry for a long time. He thought he was a child from a poor country family.
While he was thinking, Song Zhiyao said, "Director Liang, I want the police to intervene."
The clever Director Liang immediately understood what Song Zhiyao meant. The intervention of the public security department could confirm whether the child was from the machinery factory, and the meaning of them sending the child back would also be different.
"Doctor Song, I understand what you mean. Just go and do your thing. I'll take care of the rest."
Director Liang understood what she meant, so Song Zhiyao didn't stay long.
When I returned to the ward, I saw that A-mei was already asleep. Nurse Liu nodded to her and left.
I touched A-mei's forehead and found that it was not that hot, so I changed into the clothes that Nurse Liu brought.
A closer look reveals that in addition to the spots on A-mei's body caused by the virus, there are also some scars that must have been left from being beaten.

My heart is filled with heartache. How could my own child be so cruel?
The aunt beside her seemed to see what Song Zhiyao was thinking, and whispered, "Some people are just heartless and are cruel to their own children, but those children who are beaten the most end up being the most filial."
Isn't that right? Some people favor boys over girls and either beat or scold their daughters. After their daughters start working or get married, they will show up at their parents' house as soon as they hear something is wrong.
Some boys are not valued since childhood, but they become the most sensible and filial when they grow up. Those children who are spoiled since childhood are selfish instead.
Song Zhiyao just thought about these things in her mind and did not answer the aunt next to her.
The aunt didn't care and found that this beautiful female doctor was decisive but didn't talk much.
She continued to talk to herself, "It seems that this child is not living well at home. Wang Dawei's wife is from the countryside and she is very particular about favoring boys over girls.
Wang Dawei is useless, I will go back and let my idiot give him a good beating."
Song Zhiyao finally spoke up after hearing this, "Aunt, if you see A-mei's father in the future, tell him that both boys and girls are his children, and it is not advisable to treat them differently."
Wang Dawei might not listen to what others said, but the aunt in front of him was his master's wife. Unless he didn't want to continue working in the machinery factory, he would listen for the sake of face. At least A-mei could be beaten less often.
The aunt finally heard Song Zhiyao talking to her. She was a kind-hearted person. It would have been fine if she didn't know about Wang Dawei's family affairs before, but now that she knew about it, she would definitely take care of it.
"Don't worry, doctor. I've made note of this."
In her heart, she was also cursing Wang Dawei and his wife, "Wang Dawei, that bastard, I will go to his house and tell him about it when I get home."
I feel relieved to know that this aunt is of one mind.
"Doctor Song, the police officer wants to see you about something." Nurse Liu came in with two tall police officers.
