After saying that, Li Yu led the group into the hospital.
As soon as I entered the hospital lobby, a chill instantly hit me.
Li Yu subconsciously looked up and saw that the ceiling was covered with countless unformed ghosts!
These ghosts, like spiders, crawled across the ceiling at an astonishing speed.
Even Li Yu gasped at the unusual scene.
Although he didn't understand why so many ghosts were gathering, it was clear that Wucheng Hospital was not a good place.
As soon as they entered, they were recognized by a passing nurse.
Nurse Zhang quickly received the news from her colleagues and rushed over, stopping Li Yu and the others and giving them a reproachful look:
"Hey! What's wrong with you guys? Didn't we tell you to wait in the courtyard outside? If something happens after you just wander into the hospital, can you take responsibility?"
"able."
Li Yu suddenly gave a firm and decisive answer, effectively cutting off what the nurse was about to say.
After a brief silence, Nurse Zhang shook her head helplessly and continued:
"Fine, since you insist on coming in, I can't stop you."
"The new mother is currently resting in ward number 6. Her condition is stable and there is nothing seriously wrong."
"If you wish to visit her, please remember to keep quiet and not disturb the other patients."
"What about the child? How is the child now?" Li Yu asked in return.
Upon hearing this, Nurse Zhang's body jolted, and after composing herself, she quickly replied:
"The child...the child has a congenital heart disease and is currently having difficulty breathing. We have already placed him in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for observation and treatment. Further examination is needed to determine the specific situation."
As she spoke, she forced a smile and tried her best to comfort her gently:
"Families, please rest assured, the child is fine."
"With the meticulous care and treatment from our medical staff, I believe you will recover your health soon!"
However, to the nurse's surprise, Zhao Yue, who was standing behind Li Yu, seemed to be very familiar with the hospital's procedures and suddenly stepped forward to ask:
"Hello, could you please take a look at the doctor's diagnosis?"
Nurse Zhang was startled, and her eyes turned cold. She hadn't expected that there would actually be someone knowledgeable among this group of refugees. Fortunately, they were prepared.
Nurse Zhang took a deep breath, then calmly pulled a document from her folder, handed it to everyone, and explained:
"This is the diagnosis report about the child's congenital condition."
After Zhao Yue took it and looked at it, she nodded to Li Yu, confirming that there was indeed no problem.
At this moment, Nurse Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while also remembering what Director Hua had told her earlier.
Nurse Zhang knew that in this situation, not only could she not provide free treatment, but she would also have to charge the homeless people exorbitant fees. So, with a serious expression, she continued:
"The main problem now is that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is very expensive, but it's the only way to keep the child alive."
"You should go pay the fees now to ensure the doctor can proceed with the follow-up treatment."
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Ma Yuanbai and the other refugees exchanged bewildered glances.
Ma Yuanbai looked troubled, and finally looked at Li Yu with some embarrassment.
They had no money left at all. Even the money they had just given to the hospital was raised by selling some of the supplies in their team.
Li Yu then remembered that the gold bars he had obtained were still with him, and the entire army had been managed by Ma Yuanbai, so it really hadn't cost much money.
He quickly called Ma Yuanbai aside, took out two gold bars, handed them to Ma Yuanbai, and whispered, "..."
"Go and exchange the gold bars for cash, pay the fees first, and make sure the hospital saves that child."
"Understood." Ma Yuanbai put away the gold bars and quickly walked out.
At this moment, Li Yu walked back to the nurse's side and continued:
"They've already paid the money, don't worry. As long as the child can be saved, none of this will be a problem."
Although Nurse Zhang didn't see what Li Yu gave the refugees, judging from Li Yu's attitude, she was convinced that there was definitely still a lot of money to be made from these refugees!
She then understood what the director meant: not only did he want the baby to die, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to drain the resources of these refugees!
Unexpectedly, just as her greedy thoughts arose, Li Yu suddenly said:
"Now take me to see the child."
"Um..." Nurse Zhang didn't move, her eyes darted around, and then she explained with a troubled expression:
"I'm really sorry, but in order to maintain the child's vital signs, we must stay in the oxygen-free space."
"That's a strictly sterile environment. The slightest mistake could cause the child's condition to deteriorate significantly. So, according to regulations, family members are not allowed to visit at this time."
Li Yu frowned slightly and changed her words, saying:
“I can stand outside and watch.”
Nurse Zhang was completely bewildered by this. She hadn't expected this person to be so persistent, and quickly began to explain again:
"I'm sorry, that's a special ward that's completely closed, with no caregivers allowed and visitation restricted."
"You can rest assured that the baby will receive professional care, medical attention and close monitoring inside, which will absolutely ensure the baby's health and safety."
"Fine, you won't let us in, but you can't even stand outside and look?"
Seeing the nurse repeatedly try to stop him, Li Yu also noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but feel suspicious. He realized that something was amiss.
Li Yu's expression grew increasingly serious as she looked at the nurse and questioned her sternly:
