"Get out of the way! Doctor! Doctor! Someone come quick!"
Uncle Wang carried Lu Han into the emergency room.
Lu Baoqi's eyes were red as she stroked her younger brother's forehead.
Lu Zhengming looked at his precious son's tightly closed eyes and shouted in alarm.
"Doctor, please save my son! He's so young..."
Qin Fengying cried uncontrollably and was only able to avoid falling because her second daughter, Lu Baofei, supported her.
Having witnessed such scenes before, Lu Baozhi, now in the role of a patient's family member instead of a doctor, suddenly felt a deep sense of empathy.
People in the hall stepped back to make way, and the medical staff, seeing the large family, quickly organized themselves.
Lu Baozhi described her brother's allergic reaction to them, and Lu Han was quickly admitted to the emergency department.
After the doctor injected him with adrenaline, his breathing gradually became smoother, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In the hospital corridor, Lu Baozhi gently closed the door and turned to look at her family members with solemn expressions.
"Mom and Dad, Second Sister and Third Sister, don't worry! The doctor will give Han'er some antihistamines, and he'll be fine!"
Qin Fengying wiped her eyes, blaming herself, "It's all my fault. I ordered one of everything, and I didn't expect Han'er to happen to eat the dish with peanuts..."
"How is Han'er?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Baoyun came running out of the stairwell, panting.
Everyone was taken aback. She was covered in sweat, her exquisite makeup was ruined, one of her false eyelashes was missing, and her skirt was twisted haphazardly, making her look quite disheveled.
Second sister Lu Baozhi took out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "It's alright, you look hot."
Lu Zhengming glanced behind her, his thick eyebrows furrowing. "You...you're here. Where's Yi'er?"
Qin Fengying, who had been sobbing uncontrollably, stopped crying, blinked blankly, and sighed heavily.
"I'm so sorry to Yi'er this time. I should have looked at the menu carefully or reminded the waiter!"
She knew that Lu Yi would misunderstand again, thinking that she had abandoned him and only cared about her younger brother.
But my younger brother has such a severe peanut allergy; if we miss the best time to treat it, he could die!
As she spoke, she broke down in tears again, overcome with heartache.
After wiping away her sweat, Lu Baoyun patted her chest and said anxiously, "It's all arranged! He asked me to contact Butler Xu to send a car. The driver has already picked him up and is on his way home!"
Everyone glared at her, but their guilt instantly lessened.
This meal was specially prepared to welcome Lu Yi home, but it ended unhappily before he could even taste the crab. I must make it up to him later.
Wearing a business suit, Lu Baofei sat on a chair with her long legs crossed, glancing thoughtfully at everyone's faces.
"I have a feeling that Yi'er came back this time for something. Mom and Dad, did he say anything before we came home?"
Lu Zhengming and Qin Fengying shook their heads at the same time. They hadn't given Lu Yi a chance to speak; they were too busy urging him to drink tea and have some snacks.
Lu Baozhi coughed, "Well... he might... be here to return the money!"
Pay me back?
Lu Baoqi exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't he already pay back the money?"
His parents opened a bank account for him and deposited some money into it. Before leaving home, Lu Yi returned the card.
Lu Baoqi knew this because Lu Han had bought her a new handbag and used the money from the bag.
"You don't know yet, do you? Yi'er's uncle is sick and hasn't paid his medical bills. I happened to know this, so I paid them for him. He probably guessed that I paid them, so he came to pay me back."
Lu Baozhi spoke vaguely, but everyone understood clearly that Lu Yi didn't even have the money to treat the old man.
Silence fell in the corridor. Lu Zhengming asked quietly, "What illness does his uncle have? Has he been discharged from the hospital?"
Lu Baozhi nodded, "He was discharged that same day. His condition was very serious; it was late-stage lung cancer that had metastasized, I'm afraid..."
Qin Fengying glanced at her and said, "You child, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing sooner? How can a child like him be left to deal with something like this?"
Lu Baoqi stroked her limited-edition bag, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, her lips pouting, unable to describe the feeling in her heart.
Lu Baofei lowered her eyelids, seemingly lost in thought.
The most excited was Lu Baoyun, who grabbed her eldest sister's arm and asked, "So, Lu Yi has never been doing well, right?"
"Sister, how can you let him know you're paying him? You don't know his temper; he'd rather not breathe the air in our house!"
Faced with her younger sister's questioning, Lu Baozhi was at a loss for words. She had already told her colleagues that Lu Yi couldn't possibly find out from her.
Lu Yi is so perceptive and intelligent, he must have come up with it himself.
...
Lu Han, who had already woken up, clenched her fists tighter and tighter as she listened to the fluctuating sounds of discussion outside the ward.
Were they truly captivated by Lu Yi?
The eldest sister, who always hated Lu Yi the most, actually paid medical bills for an old man she had no connection with at all, all for his sake.
If you pay today, what will you do tomorrow? They'll give you a house, a car, and all your assets. There's nothing they won't do!
So what am I in their eyes, a nobody who takes advantage of the Lu family?
No, if this trend continues, even if Lu Yi doesn't come back, they will do everything they can to bring him back to the Lu family. By then, it will be too late for me to do anything.
"He's just a sick old man. He can't touch Lu Yi now, but he can't touch this old guy who's about to die?"
He listened intently to the sounds outside, took out his phone, first put it on silent, and then opened his contacts.
The saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one." Those freeloaders have finally come in handy.
