She looked at Zhu Yaowu, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time, "I have so many things going on at home. I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

"What's the problem?" Zhu Yaowu didn't care. "I'm sorry that you've been wronged. My elder brother can't be with you."

"How could you wrong me? Your elder brother is a good person and a good worker. There are so many people who would love to have him."

"It's OK as long as sister-in-law is not angry with my elder brother." Zhu Yaowu took the opportunity to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Maybe when we get there, elder brother Ji will be fine."

Ji Ling nodded. That was what she thought, so she kept holding on.

These three days were too long for Ji Ling. After getting off the train, she wished she had eight legs to rush to the hospital.

This time was different from last time. They got off the bus in Taipei City, so they got off more than two hours earlier, hailed a car and went directly to the hospital.

According to what her father said, the two quickly found the ward where Ji Jianhua was staying, but when they arrived at the door, Ji Ling didn't dare to go in.

She was afraid that when she opened the door, she would not see Ji Jianhua.

Zhu Yaowu saw her timidity and pushed the door open for her. He took a look inside and whispered, "There's someone inside."

The person is in the ward, which means he is fine.

Only then did Ji Ling dare to look inside. It was past nine o'clock in the evening. The lights in the ward were on, but the ward was very quiet, without a sound at all.

There were two beds, one was empty and Ji Jianhua was lying on the other one, flat on the bed, seemingly asleep, and there was a woman lying beside the bed.

When Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu walked in, they startled the woman who was lying on the ground. The woman sat up and looked back at them.

She hesitated for a moment, "Are you Ji Ling?"

Ji Ling nodded, "How is my elder brother?"

The woman didn't know him, but Ji Ling didn't have time to ask more questions. She had already reached the bedside and held Ji Jianhua's hand, which was warm.

Ji Ling's heart dropped.

"Your eldest brother was in a critical condition a few days ago. He was rescued twice, but he finally survived. Your parents haven't slept for the past few days. After your eldest brother was fine, they went to your grandma's house to rest." The woman told her about what had happened in the past few days.

Ji Ling stared at Ji Jianhua without blinking, and her nose felt sore.

After the woman looked at it, she quietly stepped aside and said, "You've been traveling for several days. Sit down first."

Ji Ling thanked him and sat down beside the bed. "When did the doctor say my brother would wake up?"

"He woke up once during the day, but fell asleep again. The doctor said that his health is very weak and he needs to rest for a few days."

Ji Ling nodded.

At this time, the door rang again, and a nurse pushed open the door. "Ji Jianhua's family, your family owes money. We notified you yesterday to pay. If you don't pay, your medication will be stopped."

After saying that, the nurse left.

Before Ji Ling could speak, Zhu Yaowu had already gone out, "I'll go pay the fee."

The woman also looked surprised, "I thought your parents had handed it over yesterday."

Ji Ling said, "Maybe I was too anxious, so I forgot."

As for money, Ji Ling didn't feel that her family was short of it. Her parents' furniture business was doing well, and they had enough money. There was also her grandfather's family. Besides, their factory also had money. Even though her eldest brother was unconscious now, her parents could still get money out by going to the factory to find the accountant.

After Zhu Yaowu went out, he came back soon and his eldest brother couldn't wake up for a while.

"I'm your eldest brother's girlfriend. My name is Luo Li." The woman introduced.

Ji Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, and she greeted him calmly. As for when her brother started having a girlfriend, she had no idea at all.

Luo Li has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a tall figure, and fair skin. He must love to laugh, as you can faintly see wrinkles at the corners of his mouth from laughing.

In terms of personality, she speaks with ease and grace. When Ji Ling came in, she spoke immediately and recognized Ji Ling's identity, which shows that she is a person who knows how to deal with situations.

"My dad used to work in a canning factory. He sold his job last year and opened his own canning factory. It just so happened that the factory was located next to your eldest brother's factory. That's how your eldest brother and I met." Luo Li explained, "In fact, it was only after your eldest brother got into trouble that your family found out that your eldest brother and I were dating. I didn't let him tell anyone. I felt that if we told our relationship before we decided to get married, it would be awkward if we broke up in the future."

Ji Ling nodded, "You're not wrong to think so."

Besides this, what else can Ji Ling say? It can be heard that the other party's conditions are not bad, and Luo Li is also capable.

From what she saw now, Ji Ling felt that he was indeed a nice person.

"It's too late, your brother won't wake up yet, you guys should stay in a nearby guesthouse first and come back tomorrow morning. You can handle it, you have a baby in your belly." Luo Li said, "There is a guesthouse in front of the hospital, you don't have to walk too far, just stay here for one night."

Ji Ling didn't want to leave, but the other party mentioned the child, which was why Ji Ling kept struggling.

She is a mother now and her children come first in everything.

Accepting Luo Li's kindness, Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu left the hospital. On the way to the guesthouse, Ji Ling remembered the issue of the expenses.

"How much? I'll give it to you when we get back."

Zhu Yaowu was silent for a moment, "Sister-in-law, I don't have enough money."

Ji Ling paused, "Not enough?"

"Well, my grandfather stuffed two thousand yuan into my pocket when I left. When I went to pay the bill just now, I owed more than five thousand yuan. The nurse said that I only paid one thousand yuan on the first day the patient was brought in, and I have owed money ever since."

Ji Ling opened her mouth in surprise.

I couldn't come back to my senses after I entered this state.

It’s not that the family doesn’t have money. She can understand that her eldest brother’s condition is so serious and the medical expenses are high. But what she can’t understand is how the family can not take the money when the person is about to die?

"Wait until you see your family tomorrow and ask them." Zhu Yaowu didn't know how to comfort them.

The Ji family owed so much money after several rescue operations. We can only say that the hospital still had a conscience and did not stop the rescue.

Ji Ling took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you the money later."

When she came back this time, she brought all the money from home, thinking she would not need it. Unexpectedly, it was waiting for her here.

"No need, that two thousand yuan was originally given to Brother Ji by Grandpa." Zhu Yaowu said with a smile, "It's getting late, let's find a place to rest first."

Ji Ling couldn't explain what she felt in her heart. She wanted to cry, but how could she cry in front of her brother-in-law? She also felt useless. What was the point of crying?

Staying in the guesthouse, Ji Ling suffered from insomnia. She tossed and turned, and finally sat up to put on her shoes.

No, she was impatient and couldn't sleep unless she got to the bottom of the matter. So she simply gave up sleeping and went directly to Xu's house to find someone to find out what was going on.
