Marriage First, True Love Later - Chapter 171
171 Acupuncture in the hospital
Zhou han didn’t know what he could do, so he could only hold her in his arms. It wasn’t until just now that he remembered what Gu Anran had told him. He remembered that on the day of her wedding, her husband had abandoned her and ran out of the auditorium alone. It was also on the day of her wedding that she had fallen to the ground because her husband had pushed her, and she had lost her child.
He didn’t have any experience in comforting people, so he didn’t know what to say when he saw her like this. At this moment, he couldn’t care about the slap she had just given him. He could only clumsily raise his hand slowly and then gently Pat her back again and again.
The elevator arrived, and the doctor on night shift came out of the elevator. When he saw the two people outside, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Just as he wanted to ask something, he saw the palm print on Zhou Han’s face. He was stunned again. In the end, he looked at them with a strange expression and left.
!!
He didn’t know how long he had been holding her like this until the original crying sound in his arms slowly faded. When he looked down again, he saw that she had actually fallen asleep in his arms, with tears still on the corners of her eyes.
He picked her up by the waist and carried her back to the ward. The little guy in the ward didn’t seem to have woken up yet. He was already lying quietly on the bed. He quietly carried Lin Li and placed her on the sofa. He took his computer and placed it on the low table in front of him. Then, he took his coat and covered her.
After doing all this, she went out again and asked the nurse for a blanket. She took off Lin Li’s coat and covered her with the blanket.
After covering her with the blanket, Zhou han was about to turn around and leave when he heard her muttering helplessly. Her little face was frowning as she kept saying, ” I’m sorry … I’m sorry, it’s mom’s fault … along with her voice, the tears fell from the corners of her eyes again.
Zhou han looked at her fixedly and didn’t move for a long time. After a long time, he slowly squatted down and reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
When he got up and turned to look at the little guy on the bed, he could not help but smile bitterly. She said that the child was innocent, but he really could not completely ignore her.
He raised his hand to look at the time. It was already midnight. If he didn’t start working on the plan now, he was afraid that he really wouldn’t have any time left. She went back to the bathroom to wash her face to wake herself up. When she looked up at herself in the mirror, she realized that there was a bright red handprint on her left cheek. She didn’t notice it earlier, but now that she touched it, it really hurt. She pulled a tissue to wipe the water off her face. When she touched her slightly red and swollen left cheek, she couldn’t help but shake her head and mumble softly, ” look at how skinny and small she is. She didn’t eat much either. Where did she get so much strength? ”
When she woke up again, the night had already passed, and the morning sun seeped in through the tulle curtains. Lin Li was sleeping on the sofa by the window, and the light was a little glaring. She could only raise her hand to block her forehead for a while before she got used to the brightness of the room.
He reached out and pressed his temples, only to feel that his temples were in pain as if they were being pricked by needles. What was more uncomfortable than the headache was his eyes. He only felt that his eyes were extremely dry, sore, and swollen.
The memory came back like a tide. She remembered that last night, she took Xiao bin to eat KFC, but when she arrived at the door, she found the child holding his stomach in pain. She only found out that the child had a serious seafood allergy and couldn’t be touched at all when she was sent to the hospital. However, fortunately, it wasn’t too serious this time. She just needed to hang up and take medicine. After that, she called Zhou han. After all, the child was his child. She didn’t expect Zhou han to hang up the phone after asking a few simple questions. His attitude was extremely cold. Later, Zhou han came back at 11 p.m. In the evening. She remembered that she was angry with him for being too cold and not doing her duty as a father at all. She was angry but she remembered to slap him. Then, she thought of her own child. She remembered that she had cried and could not remember anything.
She sat up and looked around. The ward was the same as yesterday, but she was the only one in the room now. Even Xiao bin was not on the bed.
She flipped the blanket over and was wondering where Xiao bin was going when the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside. Zhou han came in holding the child’s hand. When he saw her, he only glanced at her slightly and didn’t say anything.
The little guy who was being held by him looked quite good. His little face was a little red, no longer as pale as it was last night. Moreover, he seemed to be in a good mood while being held by his father. The corners of his originally dull and expressionless face had a slight smile. It was not obvious, but it was obvious.
Still worried about the child’s health, Lin Li went forward and half-squatted in front of the little guy, asking, ” “Xiaobin, will your stomach still feel uncomfortable?”
The little guy looked at her and only shook his head.
“Don’t shake your head, speak properly.” Zhou han frowned slightly and let go of his small hand. He said with a serious expression, ” “When someone asks you a question, you have to answer properly. This is courtesy, you know!”
The little guy was still a little afraid of him, so he nodded his head.
Zhou han was unhappy, and his tone was heavier than before. He looked at him and said, ” I asked you to answer, not nod. Are you mute? ”
“I, I know.” The little fellow replied softly.
Lin Li couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled him into her arms. She glared at him with dissatisfaction and said, ” “Why are you so fierce? how can you teach your child like this?” As she spoke, she turned to comfort the child, ” “Xiaobin, don’t be afraid. Tell Auntie, does your stomach still hurt? is there any discomfort anywhere?”
The little guy glanced at Zhou han and saw that he was staring at him. He quickly turned his eyes to Lin Li and said, ” “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. I don’t feel uncomfortable either.” Her voice was soft and it made one feel pity for her.
I just took him to the doctor and checked him. There’s no problem. He can be discharged after getting a bottle of water. Zhou han added.
Lin Li nodded, then asked the child with a smile, ” “Xiaobin, are you hungry? Auntie will buy you some porridge, okay?”
The little guy shook his head out of habit, but he suddenly remembered that he had something to say, so he quickly said, ” “I’m not hungry. Dad just fed me porridge.” After that, he turned around and looked at Zhou han carefully.
Upon hearing this, Lin Li felt a little depressed. She turned to look at Zhou han and was a little surprised that he would actually feed the child.
Zhou han only took a glance at her, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face. Then, he turned his head and walked to the side. He closed his computer and put it in his bag. Then, he turned his head and said to Lin Li, ” you don’t have to come to work today. Stay at home and take care of him.
Lin Li stared at him and noticed that his left cheek was still a little red and swollen. She knew that it was the result of the slap she had given him last night. She stammered in embarrassment, ” your, your face …
Zhou han subconsciously touched his face and looked at her. He said impolitely, ” “Looking at how skinny you are, I didn’t expect you to be so strong.” Even now, it was still a little painful.
“You should be the one who deserves it …” Lin Li muttered softly, not feeling any regret for the slap she had given him last night.
She didn’t know if Zhou han heard her or not, but he was mumbling something to himself. Because he said it too softly, Lin Li didn’t hear him clearly.
“What?”
Zhou han only glanced at her, picked up his briefcase, and said, ” “It’s nothing,” Then, he went straight out the door.
After he left, Lin Li whispered a few words, and then let Xiao bin lie on the bed first, waiting for the nurse to give him an injection later. She went to the bathroom to wash her face first, and only after entering the bathroom did she know that her eyes were red and swollen because of crying last night. Her double eyelids were now swollen into single eyelids. She felt uncomfortable and put a hot towel on her face for a while before coming out of the bathroom.
When he came out, the nurse was giving the child an injection. He didn’t know if it was because the child’s blood vessels were too thin, or if the nurse had just come out of the nursing school, but she didn’t manage to hit the child after a few jabs.
The nurse was getting anxious, but the more anxious she was, the worse it was. The little guy didn’t cry as he continued to inject the needle. He bit his lips tightly and didn’t make a sound.
“Don’t poke anymore.” Seeing this, Lin Li hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away the young nurse who was about to continue with the needle. She pulled the little guy’s hand over and saw the blood on the back of his hand. She pulled him into her arms with heartache and turned to look at the young nurse again. Her eyes and face were full of anger as she reprimanded him with some anger, ” “Is this an injection? Go get your head nurse!” His voice was a little loud, so loud that even the people passing by outside could hear him.
The nurse was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She looked at her and explained, ” “I, I, his, his blood vessels are too thin, I can’t find them!”
“Are you going to poke the blood vessels that are too thin? What is this? this is a human hand. This is meat. Do you think it’s a rag?” The more Lin Li spoke, the angrier she felt. Her heart ached even more for her child. How could it not hurt when she was being poked one needle at a time?
The nurse hurriedly shook her head and explained, ” no, no, I’m Hanhan.
“What’s going on? What happened?” The head nurse came in from outside, followed by a group of nurses.
Lin Li looked at her and said, ” did you hire people who graduated from professional nursing schools? how could a shot make someone like this?! As she spoke, she pulled Xiao bin’s hand over to show her.
When the nurse saw the head nurse coming over, she cried pitifully, ” head nurse, I …
The head nurse glared at her, then turned to Lin Li and said, ” “I’m sorry, this child is new. She just graduated from the nursing school and is inexperienced.”
if she’s inexperienced, let her take care of the patient when she’s more experienced. This is a hospital. If all the newbies say that they’re inexperienced, who would dare to come and see the doctor? ” Lin Li reproached.
“It’s our fault, it’s our fault. I’ll give the child acupuncture later.” As he spoke, he turned around and asked for someone to bring him a new needle.
Without waiting for them to bring the things over, Lin Li interrupted them and said, ” no, we don’t want to fight. Let the doctor prescribe some medicine. She didn’t want the little guy to suffer like this again. She felt pain just by looking at him.
“That’s fine, that’s fine.” The head nurse quickly nodded and then ordered the others to find a doctor to prescribe medicine. She then turned her head and looked at Lin Li with some guilt.”I’m sorry, Madam.” As she spoke, she reached out to touch the little guy in her arms and smiled at him. little kid, Auntie apologizes to you. I’m sorry, but you’re really brave. You didn’t cry even when it was so painful. I’m going to tell other children in the future and let them take you as a role model.
The little guy just looked at her steadily. He did not smile, nod, or shake his head.
Lin Li grabbed his hand and looked at it. She hugged him even tighter, and her emotions calmed down compared to before. She said, ” “I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but who wouldn’t feel bad seeing the child being poked like this? in the future, don’t let your new nurses come to Pediatrics. It’s better to have more experienced nurses and doctors in Pediatrics.”
The head nurse nodded and agreed, ” yes, yes, okay.
After everyone had left, Lin Li lowered her head and looked at Xiao bin in her arms. She asked with heartache, ” “Does it hurt?”
The little guy shook his head and said in a low voice, ” it’s more painful when mommy does it. She lowered her head and looked at the back of her hand in a daze. Her small hand gently stroked it.
Upon hearing this, Lin Li couldn’t help but widen her eyes and ask him, ” “Xiaobin, what did you say about mom? Your mother will stab you with a needle!”
The little guy raised his head to look at her, then lowered his head again, not saying a word.
Lin Li found it hard to believe that a mother would use a needle to stab her own child! How could she do that! Did Zhou han know about it? Did he also get pricked like this by his child?!
Suddenly, they heard the sound of someone walking in. When they turned around, they saw that Zhou han had returned and was staring at them.
Lin Li looked at him and didn’t say anything. She was still thinking about what Xiao bin had just said. She was wondering if Zhou han knew that his ex-wife often abused her son like this with needles!
As if he could read her mind, Zhou han said directly, ” “I don’t know!”
In fact, Zhou han had returned a few minutes earlier. It turned out that he had just driven out of the hospital entrance when he suddenly remembered that there was a document left here. Furthermore, that document happened to be needed in the morning, so he turned back. When he reached the entrance, he saw that it was noisy inside and there were many people standing there. After standing and listening for a while, he realized that the nurse had failed to insert the needle a few times. Lin Li then stopped and started arguing with them. He was a little surprised that she would actually do this. He could tell that she really cared about the child. Thinking back to how agitated she was with him because of the child last night, there was nothing to be surprised about. After the nurses left, he was just about to go in when he unexpectedly heard Xiao bin say that Ling LAN had stabbed him like this before and that he had no idea about it at all!
Lin Li came back to her senses and looked at him for a long time. She couldn’t help but shake her head. I really don’t understand how parents can be like you. One did not ask about the child, while the other abused the child with a needle. What did the child do wrong?
Zhou han didn’t say anything, but he squatted down and held the child’s hand, looking at it.
