Chapter 10
The car was very quiet, and Shi Wan could still smell the cigarette smoke on Gu Zhinian. Shi Wan didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and being in the car made the discomfort doubly severe.
"Stop." Shi Wan knocked on the car door with a grim expression, his voice hoarse as he tried hard to suppress his discomfort.
The bodyguard who was driving the car pulled over to the side of the road. As soon as the car stabilized, Shi Wan got out and vomited on the side of the road. Gu Zhinian followed Shi Wan out of the car. The bodyguard took some water and handed it to Gu Zhinian. Gu Zhinian originally wanted to help Shi Wan calm down and find a chance to hand the water to Shi Wan, but Shi Wan fell to one side.
"Shi Wan? Shi Wan?" Gu Zhinian quickly supported Shi Wan. Seeing Shi Wan's face pale and bloodless, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. "Drive to the hospital and tell He Cheng to have someone wait for me." Gu Zhinian carried Shi Wan to the car in an orderly manner, appearing calm. No one knew that Gu Zhinian's palms were sweaty and his body was tense.
【Lecheng Private Hospital】
He Cheng and a group of doctors were waiting early. He Cheng was Shi Wan's attending physician. Shi Wan's surgery was also performed in this hospital. At that time, the director of the orphanage had to look for many people before finding someone who was willing to donate money to Shi Wan.
"What's going on?" Gu Zhinian asked He Cheng outside.
"It's gastroenteritis plus a little heatstroke. It's a bit serious because Shi Wan's health is too poor. Don't feed him uncooked food in the future. His stomach is not very good." He Cheng said the last few words carefully and secretly looked at Gu Zhinian. After all, based on his knowledge of Shi Wan's condition, he knew that the steak was 100% taken by Gu Zhinian to eat. Maybe Gu Zhinian wanted to be romantic and ended up sending Shi Wan to the hospital.
Thinking of this, He Cheng wanted to laugh, but considering that the man in front of him was his financial sponsor, He Cheng had a hard time holding back his laughter.
"Laugh if you want to. Don't suffocate yourself." Gu Zhinian glanced at He Cheng and said, "Go away."
"I can only eat light meals in the evening these days."
"Um."
He Cheng left after he finished his conversation. Gu Zhinian sat on the sofa in the outer room, took off his glasses and threw them on the sofa. Thinking of Shi Wan's lifeless face just now, Gu Zhinian couldn't calm down.
Shi Wan was still receiving IV drip, and Gu Zhinian was sitting by the side watching over her.
After the medicine took effect, Shi Wan's brows relaxed. Gu Zhinian sat aside and looked at Shi Wan's face, unable to get enough of it.
Shi Wan stayed in the hospital for three days. He didn't feel any discomfort eating the bland porridge, but he felt sorry for his salary. There were only two days left, and it was only 600 yuan.
"Xiao Wan is discharged from the hospital today. You'd better not eat uncooked food since your stomach is not in good condition. You have become so thin during these few days in the hospital that only bones are left." Head nurse Zhang Qing gave instructions to Shi Wan while making the bed. When Shi Wan was receiving treatment in this hospital, Zhang Qing was still a novice nurse who had just graduated and completed the regular training.
At that time, Shi Wan was too thin to be a six-year-old child. He looked more like a three-year-old. His eyes were frighteningly big. There was no flesh on his face or body, just a bunch of bones. His back was covered with wounds, bruises and purples, and there were many scars. The doctor said it was caused by cigarette burns.
A pair of big eyes stared at you blankly. Even though he could not hear, he still smiled at you with curved eyebrows. It was heartbreaking to see him, especially when Zhang Qing knew that Shi Wan came for surgery because of ear problem. Zhang Qing secretly scolded Shi Wan's inhuman parents a hundred thousand times in the bathroom.
Until now, Zhang Qing has become the head nurse. She has watched Shi Wan stumble all the way to the present day. She can see Shi Wan coming to the hospital every month. At first, it was because Shi Wan's sponsor was the wife of their hospital's chairman, so he had been receiving treatment in this hospital. It was not until Shi Wan was found and returned to the Pei family that Shi Wan paid for himself to come to the hospital.
It has always been this hospital. Shi Wan has a discount here, otherwise Shi Wan would not dare to come to such an expensive-looking hospital.
"Yeah, I know Sister Qingqing." Shi Wan responded while drinking soy milk. Eating such an expensive steak made him sick and he also lost three days' salary. Well, braised beef is still more suitable for him.
Gu Zhinian stood outside and didn't dare to come in.
"Everything will be fine in the future. Mr. Gu is a good man, and our Xiaowan will also be fine in the future." Zhang Qing rubbed Shi Wan's hair, which was soft and the same as before.
"Don't bother with the Pei family in the future. They are a bunch of poisonous snakes." Zhang Qing did not forget to remind Shi Wan when she left with the flyers. In her eyes, Shi Wan was a well-behaved and soft-hearted child. She was afraid that Shi Wan would be fooled by the Pei family.
Before Shi Wan was hospitalized, those people from the Pei family called and scolded Shi Wan, saying that Shi Wan was faking illness. What kind of people are these Pei family? They don't care about their own son, but only care about the fake one!
Pooh!
"I know Sister Qingqing." Shi Wan tilted his head and blinked his eyes. He would not pay any attention to the Pei family.
Zhang Qing's envy was genuine. When she went out and saw Gu Zhinian standing outside, she said, "Hello... Mr. Gu..." Zhang Qing was a little scared looking at Gu Zhinian's handsome face.
Gu Zhinian wore gold-rimmed glasses, the frames shone with a cold light, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were emotionless. Zhang Qing had a sense of déjà vu of the director of the Academic Affairs Office turning around the corner when the bell rang during school days. Zhang Qing felt that Gu Zhinian was better off on the screen.
"Yeah." Gu Zhinian nodded at Zhang Qing and went inside.
After seeing the people leave, Zhang Qing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly strode outside. He didn't know if Mr. Gu and Shi Wan would be so scary together. Thinking of this, Zhang Qing started to worry about Shi Wan again.
When Gu Zhinian walked in, he saw Shi Wan sitting on the bed, drinking soy milk and swinging her feet happily.
"Let's go home." Gu Zhinian walked to Shi Wan with a smile, rubbed Shi Wan's little head and said softly.
"Ah? Yeah." Shi Wan looked up at Gu Zhinian beside him, nodded, and jumped off the bed to avoid Gu Zhinian.
Gu Zhinian withdrew his empty hand and held Shi Wan's hand instead. Shi Wan was held by his hand and followed Gu Zhinian obediently. When Shi Wan saw Zhang Qing when passing by the nurse's station, she secretly smiled at Zhang Qing and waved to her, because she was afraid that Gu Zhinian would find out, which was a very sneaky feeling.
Zhang Qing couldn't help laughing. Shi Wan was being held by Gu Zhinian, just like a parent holding a child.
"I've prepared oranges for you." After getting in the car, Gu Zhinian handed the oranges he had prepared earlier to Shi Wan. Because Shi Wan was prone to motion sickness, Gu Zhinian had tried many folk remedies, but taking medicine wasn't a solution. Oranges were the best method. Gu Zhinian asked everyone in the studio who was prone to motion sickness, and they all said this method worked.
"Thank you." Shi Wan held the big orange in both hands and sat upright, but he would steal glances at Gu Zhinian from time to time, and was caught by Gu Zhinian.
Shi Wan closed her eyes and poked the oranges in her hands with both hands. Her ears were so hot that she could boil eggs. Noticing Gu Zhinian's smiling gaze, Shi Wan covered her face with the oranges and clenched her toes.
