"Are you a family member of the patient?"
"Yes... no... no, it can be considered as..."
He certainly didn't count this family member, but Mr. Li knew him! He had never seen Mr. Li so nervous about someone before, so this person must have a close relationship with Mr. Li.
"Is it?"
Liu Jiang's ambiguous answer made the doctor very dissatisfied.
"This is a friend of our general manager. I'm just the driver, responsible for taking her to the hospital."
Liu Jiang could only speak the truth. He knew less about the woman in the room than he did about the doctor in front of him. He only knew that she was a woman, and nothing else.
"Then you should know her name, right? Knowing her name will help us write an inspection form."
"This...this...this I really don't know. How about we check it first and fill it in when our general manager comes."
When the doctor asked him the question, Liu Jiang realized that he knew nothing about it. He felt a little embarrassed about it. He scratched his head with a playful smile and answered the doctor's question awkwardly.
"That's the only way. Please hurry up and urge your manager."
"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
Liu Jiang smiled and thanked the doctor repeatedly.
The doctor took a thick stack of documents and slapped them into Liu Jiang's hand.
"Go pay the bill first!"
Let me pay the bill myself, but what if she wakes up? Mr. Li asked me to keep an eye on her, so I can't leave.
"Then may I ask, doctor, when will she wake up?"
"Not necessarily. She's severely dehydrated and exhausted, and she's also suffering from a serious illness. Her body is like a pile of dead wood. Whether it can come back to life depends on her will to live. Let's finish these bottles of IV first."
"Thank you, doctor. You have worked hard."
The doctor said, then turned and left.
Liu Jiang looked through the transparent window on the ward door. Who was this person? Why was he so ill?
Liu Jiang sighed, shook his head, sat down on the chair at the door, and looked through the checklist in his hand.
"100, 285, 769..."
He added up the amount of money to be paid on the inspection form. It was shocking to see the huge inspection fee. Liu Jiang was surprised.
"This guy is just burning money! Where would I get so much money to pay her bill? Forget it, I'll just wait here! When Mr. Li comes, let him decide whether to pay or not."
Liu Jiang clutched the checklist and leaned back in his chair to rest. He was exhausted and longed for a nap. But thinking of Wencai's instructions, he lost all desire to sleep. He remained alert and did his job as a gatekeeper.
Wencai quickly arrived at the hospital. He called Liu Jiang in the car and learned that Liu Jiang and Shumei were on the third floor. As soon as he entered the hospital gate, he rushed straight to the third floor.
Seeing Wencai coming, Liu Jiang felt relieved, "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, this way."
Hearing Liu Jiang's shout, Wencai walked quickly towards Liu Jiang.
"How is it? Is she awake?"
As soon as the two met, Wencai couldn't wait to ask about Shumei's situation.
"Not yet! I'm on IV drip. Mr. Li, these are the medical records. The doctor asked for payment, and the doctor also asked for her name."
Wencai pushed open the door of the ward and walked towards Shumei's bed.
Liu Jiang followed behind, talking as he walked.
"Her name is Kang Shumei. Kang means healthy, Shu means lady, and Mei means plum blossom. Go and pay the fee quickly."
Wencai sat down in front of the hospital bed, looking at Shumei lying quietly on the bed, and answered Liu Jiang's questions.
"Oh! Kang Shumei, I understand. It's just that the examination fee is too high. I don't have that much money. Mr. Li, is she familiar with you? Do you want to reconsider the examination fee?"
Liu Jiang handed the checklist to Wencai and asked him to take a look.
Wencai didn't bother to read it at all. He took out a stack of money from his pocket and gave it to Liu Jiang, then took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Liu Jiang.
"Go and pay quickly. If you don't have enough cash, use your card. The password is my birthday."
Wencai's words were a bit commanding, but also had a tone of affirmation. Except for turning his head once when handing Liu Jiang the money, his eyes never left Shumei.
Logically, Wencai shouldn't have any feelings for Shumei. For so many years, he hasn't been obsessed with her, nor has he been obsessed with her. Not only that, he can accept other women normally, fall in love with them, and date them.
But for some reason, when Wencai saw Shumei, his heart seemed to melt. He felt so sorry for her and wanted to protect her. He even had a heart-pounding feeling, something he had never experienced before.
