Chapter 129

"He has elderly parents and young children to care for, he can't just die young like this...!" "If it's anything like a vegetative state or cancer, please don't tell me..." "?" The old man's lips twitched, his usually calm face now showing signs of shock at the girl's words. This child... shouldn't be the one who needs to see a doctor? But the neurology department isn't open at night... The old man didn't speak, only glanced at Xia Yan, whose condition had stabilized, before pulling Hua Xin out. Realizing her somewhat exaggerated behavior, the girl awkwardly let go of his hand. Uh, thankfully Xia Yan is alright... After seeing the old doctor on night duty examine him and move the still unconscious Xia Yan to a hospital bed, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking into the room through the glass in the door and window, she saw Xia Yan still asleep. It was just that the IV drip and the white blanket looked a bit ominous. "He's fine, just overworked." "Let him rest more, and try to avoid physical labor." The old doctor's slightly hoarse voice rang out, causing Hua Xin to instantly reply with a serious expression, "Okay, okay!" "Don't exercise for the next month, eat some light and nutritious vegetables and meat, and be sure to drink less alcohol..." "Oh, oh, oh!" "He needs to eat breakfast; he's showing signs of low blood sugar and anemia." "Definitely!!" "Then go to the cashier to settle the bill. I paid for two days of hospitalization, including the ambulance call fee." "Huh?" Under the old doctor's gaze that seemed to say, "You think going to the hospital is free? Trying to get something for nothing? Are you going to cause trouble again? What should I do? I want to take an AK47 and treat everyone equally. I don't want to work the night shift; I want to go home and dance with my grandma," the girl barely managed to come to her senses and hurriedly nodded. "Thank you, doctor! I'll go right now!" "Okay, let me know if anything happens." (Yawns) After watching the doctor leave, the girl paused for a second, looking around. "Where is this?" After searching around, Hua Xin stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator moved smoothly, while the girl stared blankly at her reflection in the elevator. "Sigh..." Hua Xin sighed softly. All the anxiety and fear from before seemed to dissipate into the air. Thank goodness... thank goodness nothing happened. If Xia Yan had really suffered any harm, she really would have... "Ding." The first floor had been reached. Hua Xin walked out and said wearily to the cashier, "Um..." The girl's heart sank. She wanted to go home. How should she explain that she needed to pay someone? Would she think she was wasting their time...? "Okay, the one from the emergency room earlier, named... Xia Yan, right?" Hua Xin nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes!" She felt a sense of relief, thinking, "There are still good people in the world..." "The total is four thousand two hundred and thirty-three yuan and eight jiao." "?" "???" The girl's eyes widened, her small hands trembling as she raised her phone, repeating in disbelief and confusion, "Four thousand two hundred and thirty-three yuan and eight jiao?" The young lady patiently replied, "Yes, four thousand two hundred and thirty-three yuan and eight jiao." "?" Hua Xin's hand trembled as she touched her waist. Xia Yan... this time I don't owe you anything, you must live (firmly). I'm sorry, my savings, the hard-earned money I've saved up over the years... Hua Xin really didn't want that string of numbers that she had worked so hard to accumulate to become a double digit again. So... can the kidneys be worth five thousand yuan? 106. Stand up if you use a mixed password! 3k "If you die, your wife will be my wife, your property will be my property, your game account will be my game account, your debts will not be my debts..." "I'll strip you naked and sell your used clothes on Xianyu, I'll draw your blood and sell it for money, I'll cut off your kidneys to buy an iPhone 16, I'll donate all the semen in your high-level game to contribute to the elderly living alone..." "If anything happens to you..." "I... I..." "I'll castrate you." Hua Xin sat beside Xia Yan, pursing her lips and muttering softly. In the dimly lit room, only Xia Yan's soft breathing could be heard. Even though the doctor had confirmed that Xia Yan's condition wasn't serious, just a fainting spell caused by overwork and drinking, Hua Xin still felt uneasy... After watching too many melodramatic Korean drama, she couldn't help but think the worst when faced with this situation for the first time. Sigh... a vegetative state... sigh... amnesia... amnesia?? Xia Yan shouldn't have hit her head when she collapsed, right? Suppressing her wandering thoughts, Hua Xin wearily leaned against the bedside. The room fell silent again. The IV drip was finished, and all the tests came back normal. Xia Yan had fallen into a long sleep. There was no "beep, beep" from the heart rate monitor, nor the heavy breathing of someone wearing an oxygen mask. The bed near the door was empty, but Hua Xin didn't want to disturb the sheets and blankets the nurses had already arranged. Less trouble for others was better than more, especially since she was genuinely worried about Xia Yan. The distinctive smell of disinfectant, unique to hospitals, made her slightly startled. From the time they went to the Old Soldier Barbecue restaurant to the time they finished their hospital check-up and arrived safely in this ward, a long time had passed. Hua Xin looked up and took out her phone, the faint light reflecting in her eyes. 2:30. "He really is a worry..." "Why make yourself so tired..." She gently poked Xia Yan's lower back and murmured softly. She would tell Xia Fen to come and keep Xia Yan company when Xia Yan woke up or in the morning... After all, they were siblings, and it would be more appropriate for her to accompany him. She was just a friend after all. Hua Xin turned off her phone, closed her eyes again, and leaned over, resting her head on her arms, to lie beside his bed. Time flies so fast. This time she came to the hospital for Xia Yan, the last time was for the medical records, and the time before that was to... see her one last time. Perhaps the first time was when she was born? The girl felt a little amused for no reason, then relaxed her body and snuggled closer to the inside of the bed until her arm touched Xia Yan's hand. "You're so... all you do is sleep..." she muttered under her breath, pouting... A few strands of hair fell out from the gap in the hood. Hua Xin straightened up and put Xia Yan's hand, which was resting by the bedside, under the covers. However... when she touched Xia Yan's somewhat rough hand, her hand stopped abruptly. In novels, anime, and even some TV dramas and movies, the first description of the handsome male protagonist's body parts, besides his appearance, should be his hands. They might be slender with distinct bones, or broad and warm like spring. She had felt this when she held hands with Xia Yan while shopping, but she hadn't known or carefully observed his hands. To be honest, after her "bull's" thing didn't disappear, Hua Xin always considered herself the "male lead" of this book.
