I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse - Chapter 325

325 I’ll Wait for You to Return the Money Personally

The staff inside took the ID card and deducted the fee in a few seconds. It was so fast that Yu Xinya did not even have time to react. Du Yue took back her identity card and smiled at Yu Xinya.

“This concerns someone’s life. You don’t have to be polite to us. If you really feel bad, you can return the money to us personally when you come back.”

Yu Xinya looked at Du Yue, not knowing what to say…

“Alright, let’s not waste time here. Brother Wan should have gone to the ward already. Let’s hurry over and see him,” Du Yue said and went to the operating room.

!!
Yu Xinya quickly followed. As for the favor and money she owed her and He Xing, there was still a long time to come anyway. She would slowly repay them. As soon as the two of them walked over, they saw He Xing waiting at the entrance of the operating room.

He Xing waved at them. “The nurses have already sent Brother Wan to the ward. Lu Xun have followed them there too. I was waiting for you here. Let’s go!”

With He Xing leading the way, the three of them quickly arrived at the ward. The ward was not big, but there were four beds inside. The space between the beds was very small and could only accommodate one person. Wan Dapeng was lying on the bed by the window, and Lu Xun was standing beside the bed. Hearing the door open, Lu Xun looked over. “Sister Yu, you’re back!”

Yu Xinya placed her index finger by her mouth and deliberately lowered her voice. “Did the doctor say when he would wake up?”

Lu Xun sighed softly. “He’s not awake yet. However, I asked the nurse who sent him here. The nurse said that he’s fine. He should be able to wake up after the anesthetic wears off.”

Even before the apocalypse, the cost of surgery and anesthesia was very expensive. Not to mention now when medical resources were very scarce. The cost of various drugs was naturally even more expensive. Therefore, at this time, seeking medical treatment at the hospital was really not something that ordinary people could afford.

Yu Xinya walked to Wan Dapeng’s bed and looked at him deeply. Then, she turned to Lu Xun and said, “You’re already here. You should go and let the doctor take a look at your leg. At that time, Dapeng’s condition was urgent, so you didn’t have time to take care of yourself. Now that he’s fine, you should quickly go and take a look to prevent an infection.”

“I’m fine!” Lu Xun took a few steps back, his face full of resistance and unwillingness. “My leg is fine. It won’t get infected.

“The fees here are too expensive. There’s no need to waste that money.”

Yu Xinya’s tone sank. “You all have your own opinions now, huh? My words don’t matter anymore, huh? I know you want to save money, but look at the occasion. If there’s really something wrong with your leg, you won’t be able to go out and earn money anymore, do you understand?

“Our lives are a little bitter now, but have you ever considered that as long as we’re still alive, there’s still hope? If you can’t even guarantee your own health, your life will only be even more difficult in the future. Thinking about money every day… Do you not want your body? It’s fine to save on food and clothing, but how can you save on things related to health? All of you are not young anymore. Do you still need me to tell you what’s more important?”

Previously, when Wan Dapeng was on his last breath, he refused to come to the hospital. At that time, Yu Xinya’s heart was filled with anger and she could not vent it. Now when she saw that Lu Xun was refusing to see a doctor, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and directly erupted. If it were not for the fact that they were in a ward, she would have probably roared loudly.

Even so, Lu Xun still lowered his head and listened to Yu Xinya’s scolding obediently. It was not until she was done that he dared to speak weakly, “Sister Yu, don’t be angry. It’s all my fault. I’ll go look for a doctor. I won’t be stubborn anymore.”

Yu Xinya was right. As long as one was still alive, there would still be hope. If something really happened, not only would one not be able to create value for the base, but one would also be a burden to everyone else.

Although Lu Xun had promised to see a doctor, Yu Xinya was still worried that he would make a mistake again. “No, I’ll go with you to the doctor!”

Lu Xun was a little hesitant. “If you leave, what will happen to Dapeng?”

“Don’t worry, the two of you can go to the doctor in peace. We’ll take care of him here!” He Xing, who had been listening quietly at the side, said, “You guys go quickly. Du Yue and I can take care of him.”

Both Yu Xinya and Lu Xun trusted Du Yue and He Xing. After hearing He Xing’s words, Lu Xun no longer hesitated and obediently followed Yu Xinya out of the ward. There were four beds in the ward, but Wan Dapeng was the only patient at the moment. Although the environment was ordinary, it was a hospital, after all. It was fine as long as it could save people and treat them.
