Chapter 208 Low-pitched
South District People's Hospital.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when Lin Rui got out of the taxi.
It was the Spring Festival, and there weren't many doctors and nurses on duty. Plus, it was already late at night, so the whole hospital looked rather deserted.
Lin Rui was still wearing a mask and it took him a while to find the inpatient department. Compared to the entrance, the inpatient department was much quieter.
"Excuse me, which ward is Qu Yingying in?"
Lin Rui asked the nurse on duty.
The nurse glanced at Lin Rui, then typed a few words on the keyboard before her expression turned strange: "In the past three months, there has only been one patient, Qu Yingying, who is 21 years old and has severe burns."
After a pause, the nurse looked up at Lin Rui uncertainly: "Is it her?"
“Yes, it’s her.” Lin Rui nodded.
For some reason, the nurse felt that Lin Rui, who was wearing a mask, looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.
Of course, she didn't dwell on the issue: "Last week, Qu Yingying's family completed the discharge procedures for her."
"Discharged from the hospital?"
Lin Rui was taken aback at first, but suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
Looking at the nurse again, Lin Rui noticed a hint of regret in her eyes. He sighed, knowing that his feelings were genuine.
My condolences.
"Thanks."
Lin Rui nodded to the nurse, then turned and left.
Upon re-entering the elevator, Lin Rui selected the floor for the intensive care unit.
Compared to the inpatient ward corridor, this place wasn't so deserted. There were two more nurses on duty, and a few family members were sitting on chairs in the corridor playing with their phones.
"Excuse me, are you a family member of which patient? Please register."
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a nurse stood up, holding a registration book in her hand.
Lin Rui gave the name of a firefighter and casually wrote down his own name as well.
The nurse didn't look closely, but simply told Lin Rui not to make a loud noise.
Standing outside the glass window of the intensive care unit, Lin Rui looked at the injured person still lying inside and quietly saluted.
“Auntie, you’re not feeling well, why don’t you go home and rest? We can stay here and watch over you.”
"Yes, Auntie, leave this to us."
The sound of conversation could be heard from not far away.
Two men, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, were seen helping an older woman tidy up her lunchbox, as well as some trash such as tissues and fruit peels.
Thank you all for these past few days.
"I'll keep watch tonight. You've all been up for days. Spend more time with your families during the New Year."
“Auntie is different. Qiangzi’s father passed away early. Even if he goes home, he’ll be alone. It’s better for him to stay here.”
The woman forced a smile, but it was tinged with bitterness.
Just as the two men were about to offer some advice, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.
The woman seemed to realize something and quickly turned around. Her tense expression eased slightly after seeing the movement inside, but she still cried out urgently, "Doctor! Doctor!"
In fact, she didn't need to call out; two doctors in white coats rushed over from the next office, followed by two nurses.
They quickly entered the intensive care unit and immediately drew the curtains.
"Quickly notify Xiao Zhu's family."
The woman urged them on, and the two men finally snapped out of their daze and quickly ran to the side to call Xiao Zhu's family.
About ten minutes later, two more doctors came out of the elevator, followed by three nurses, and they also hurriedly entered the intensive care unit.
In less than a minute, Lin Rui saw the firefighter named Xiao Zhu being wheeled into the emergency room by a group of doctors and nurses.
The rescue lasted for a full half hour. As the door to the emergency room was pushed open, Xiao Zhu's family members happened to appear in the corridor.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?"
A woman looked anxiously at the doctor; in fact, everyone present was anxious to know how Xiao Zhu was doing.
