Chapter 47 The Long-awaited Freedom
After three days of intravenous drip in the hospital, Xu Yangyang felt much better. Seeing that the weather outside was nice, she wanted to go to the hospital yard to bask in the sun.
Her weak body after the illness did not allow her to do so. Just getting out of bed had already consumed all her strength.
With his hands on the bedside table, Xu Yangyang gasped a few times, hesitating whether to go out.
Suddenly, a bird song was heard outside the window. She turned around and saw a sparrow on the open bed, blinking its big eyes at her, as if it was very curious.
"My current freedom is not even as good as that of a sparrow," Xu Yangyang laughed at himself when he thought of this.
"No matter what Jiang Runan does, I should at least go out more before he completely controls me."
The good weather outside successfully supported Xu Yangyang to stand up. Her body, which had just undergone surgery, could not withstand such movement. In addition, the incision from the surgery was slightly painful, so she could only move to the door in small steps.
People were coming and going in the corridor. She opened the door and cold sweat ran down her weak and pale face.
"Patient, where are you going? Where are your family and caregivers?"
The newly transferred nurse didn't know Xu Yangyang, and she didn't know this nurse either: "I want to go out for a walk, can you please not tell anyone else?"
The nurse didn't understand why, but she agreed anyway, letting Xu Yangyang walk forward step by step with difficulty.
She wanted to help, but someone grabbed her shoulders and said, "Doctor Lin, why doesn't she have any relatives to look after her?"
Lin Yiheng pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the nurse's shoulder slightly: "It's okay, I'll be watching her here, you go ahead and do your work."
The nurse scratched her head, unsure of the relationship between Dr. Lin and the patient, and left in a hurry with her head down.
Only Lin Yiheng was left following behind Xu Yangyang, watching her back from a distance as she struggled forward.
Originally, the distance between the two was not far. According to Lin Yiheng's pace, he could reach her side in a few steps and support her fragile body.
But such a short distance is no different from a bottomless abyss for Lin Yiheng now.
Jiang Linan's words appeared in his mind again. If he continued to take care of Xu Yangyang, the man might do something even more outrageous.
"I want to protect her, but not harm her. If my proximity makes her life more difficult, why not..."
Lin Yiheng has very long hands, and his nails are trimmed and rounded, with just the right length.
Now, the nail has embedded into the palm of his hand, leaving a crescent-shaped red mark, some of which have turned purple, which shows how much strength he used!
Xu Yangyang turned and entered the elevator. Someone next to her saw that she had difficulty moving, pressed the elevator button, and Xu Yangyang said thank you.
"How come no one is taking care of you, kid? You're too strong..."
The sound from the elevator was faintly heard. Lin Yiheng had originally planned to take the next elevator, but when he heard this, he hesitated for a few seconds and ran down the stairs.
When he came downstairs, the good air outside made Lin Yiheng feel better. Just as he was about to find a place to hide so that Xu Yangyang couldn't see him, he heard a scream from the other side.
"ah!"
He turned his head hurriedly and saw Xu Yangyang falling down. He rushed over, supported Xu Yangyang's body, and glared at the little boy beside her!
Xu Yangyang didn't expect that she would run into such a naughty kid as soon as she arrived at the back garden. Not only was she bumped into, but his foot also hit her feet, causing her body to become unstable and fall to the side.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't mean it!"
The little boy was still laughing, but when he saw Lin Yiheng beside Xu Yangyang, he immediately put away his playful smile and bowed his head to apologize.
He is just a child, and Xu Yangyang can't do anything to him even if she is angry.
"If an apology would help..."
"Doctor Lin, I'm fine." Xu Yangyang interrupted Lin Yiheng. The little boy took the opportunity to run away. She looked at his running back and whispered, "You're still wearing hospital clothes. If you say that, it will cause a conflict between his parents and the hospital..."
She is still thinking about him!
Lin Yiheng even thought Jiang Runan was a beast. How could he treat Xu Yangyang like that...
"Besides, I'm fine." Xu Yangyang forced a smile. She was about to talk to Lin Yiheng for a long time, but suddenly remembered Jiang Runan's words and took a step back despite the pain in her body.
If she stays with him, she will harm him!
The words Jiang Linan said were still vivid in her mind. Xu Yangyang didn't want Lin Yiheng to suffer as well, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Thank you, Dr. Lin. I'm going to take a walk in the garden. You should go see your other patients. They... need you more than I do."
In order not to make Lin Yiheng worry, Xu Yangyang even forced herself to walk faster!
Lin Yiheng knew that Xu Yangyang was thinking of Jiang Lunan, so he forcibly retracted his outstretched hand: "There are many patients and their families here, as well as visitors, including many children. You should pay attention to them here and don't let them get bumped again."
Xu Yangyang nodded with her back to Lin Yiheng, and urged, "I'm really fine. Look, I'm fine. Go and get busy, or the nurse won't come looking for you again later."
In order to prove that she was really fine, Xu Yangyang even turned around in front of Lin Yiheng.
The feeling of weakness coming from her body almost made Xu Yangyang lose her balance and she fell down in front of Lin Yiheng.
But she finally managed to control her body and stood steadily in front of Lin Yiheng, her smiling eyes seeming to prove that there was nothing wrong with her.
But the more she acted like this, the more Lin Yiheng couldn't stand it. In order for her to take a walk in peace, he had no choice but to leave.
Seeing that Lin Yiheng finally left, Xu Yangyang felt relieved. She slowly walked to the chair and sat down, staring at the leaves. She felt a lot more relaxed.
"You," Lin Yiheng returned to the medical building and called a nurse. "The patient sitting outside, Xu Yangyang, just had surgery and isn't feeling well. Please help me keep an eye on her and don't let her stay outside for too long."
"Okay, Dr. Lin."
The nurse seemed to understand, but Lin Yiheng was very authoritative in the hospital, so she agreed and watched Xu Yangyang from a distance.
Lin Yiheng understood that he could no longer appear in front of Xu Yangyang, so even though he was reluctant, he still had to leave.
He stood in front of the door for five minutes, making sure that there was no one else around Xu Yangyang who might interfere, before leaving.
There was a gentle breeze and the sun was shining brightly, but the shadows cast by the trees made Xu Yangyang dizzy.
It wasn't that she was physically uncomfortable, but this light made her feel happy. At least now, she still had a little freedom.
Under the warm sunshine, she felt sleepy unconsciously. She yawned, tilted her head to one side and fell into a deep sleep.
