Chapter 27
Xu Wenping really didn’t hear it.
He hesitated for a long time in front of Su Yurou’s bedroom door. In the end, he decided that it was best to give Su Yurou a good impression before getting the marriage certificate. He then went back to his bedroom and slept by himself.
He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Xu Wenping even sent Yu Youling a text message to ask about her mother’s condition.
However, Yu Youling did not respond for a long time, so Xu Wenping fell asleep.
The next morning, Xu Wenping also got up early for morning exercise. He went downstairs to buy breakfast and was about to go upstairs when his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Yu Youling, Xu Wenping picked up and said gently, “Xiao Yu… I’m asking you, how is it? Have you received the surgery fees? Is Auntie alright?”
As he spoke, he heard Yu Youling’s sobbing voice, and Xu Wenping’s heart skipped a beat.
“Xiao Yu, don’t be nervous. What happened?”
Yu Youling sobbed and said, “They received the surgery fee yesterday… That d*mned doctor made a mistake in hygiene during her treatment. Now, my mother’s wound is infected and she’s in the Intensive Care Unit. Wuuu~!”
Xu Wenping frowned.
The medical standards of modern society were already very high. How could there be any negligence in hygiene?
After some thought, Xu Wenping said softly, “Don’t worry. Which ward is it? I’ll come over later…”
Yu Youling’s mood was still very sad. Although she knew that even if Xu Wenping came over, it would not help, she still nodded lightly.
After Xu Wenping went upstairs, Su Yurou was washing up. Seeing him go upstairs with breakfast, Su Yurou leaned over and gave Xu Wenping a gentle kiss.
Xu Wenping’s brows relaxed slightly.
As the two of them ate breakfast, Su Yurou seemed to notice that Xu Wenping had something on his mind. She couldn’t help but slowly say, “Wenping, what’s wrong? Why did you go downstairs and suddenly become depressed? If there’s anything, tell me. Don’t hold it in.”
Xu Wenping frowned, then forced a smile and said, “I have a friend whose mother is hospitalized and in the Intensive Care Unit. Although I can’t help, it’s just… It’s a little uncomfortable!”
“ICU?”
Su Yurou looked surprised, then said seriously, “How can this be a small matter? Even if you can’t help, it’ll be a psychological comfort for your friends if you go over and accompany them!”
“Hurry up and go!”
“I… I still have to send you off.”
Su Yurou smiled gently. She immediately pulled open the drawer of the coffee table and took out a car key. “I have a backup. I’m an adult. Do I need you to keep looking at me?”
“Hurry up and go. You have important matters to attend to!”
Looking at Su Yurou’s sensible and gentle expression, Xu Wenping pinched her jade-like hand and felt even more touched. He gently kissed his forehead and turned around, “Then I’ll leave first!”
“Yes!”
After Xu Wenping left, Su Yurou was not unhappy. Instead, she smiled deeply.
Other women might not be happy about this, but for a woman of Su Yurou’s age and experience, a kind character was more important than looks and wealth to some extent.
….
After Xu Wenping drove to the hospital, he quickly went to the ward that Yu Youling mentioned. When he arrived, Yu Youling was sitting on the chair at the door of the ward. There was a child in his teens lying on her lap. At this moment, his face was already covered in tears, and his eyes were swollen. Tears kept seeping out of his pupils.
“Xiao Yu…”
Xu Wenping came in front of Yu Youling and grabbed her hand. Yu Youling was still holding back her tears, but after seeing Xu Wenping, for some reason, her tears started to burst out and fell onto Xu Wenping’s chest, choking back her tears.
“It’s fine… It’s fine…”
Xu Wenping could only comfort her in a low voice.
At this moment, the light in the ward flickered and the door opened. A doctor in a white coat walked out and looked at Yu Youling coldly. “Family member, please sign the critically ill notice. Although we tried our best to save the patient, the patient’s condition is still relatively dangerous. Now, it seems that even if she can be cured, I’m afraid she will have to spend the rest of her life in bed.”
“What? A notice of critical illness?”
Yu Youling immediately shouted and grabbed the doctor’s chest uncontrollably. “It’s your own surgery that went wrong. How can you issue a critical illness notice? I told the nurse that the scalpel was not disinfected and could not be used!”
“Please pay attention to your attitude!”
The doctor shook Yu Youling off and said, “Are you doubting the professionalism of our doctors?”
At this moment, the ward was already open. Xu Wenping was very rational when he saw this. He slowly walked into the treatment ward. When the doctor saw Xu Wenping reveal the surgical position, he just calmly pushed his glasses up.
Seeing that Yu Youling was still losing control, Xu Wenping frowned slightly and held her hand. “Xiao Yu, hygiene is one thing, but the failure of the surgery… It shouldn’t be a problem with the scalpel! Even if it is not completely disinfected, it will not cause a secondary infection.”
Yu Youling’s expression changed drastically.
The attending physician curled his lips slightly and said, “It seems that this young friend still understands. In the resuscitation area just now, we were trying our best to protect the patient’s life. We can’t possibly stop treating the patient without disinfecting the scalpel, right? However, in the later stages, we did our job well!”
“Therefore… Our hospital has nothing to do with the patient’s critical condition! Sign it!”
Seeing the doctor in charge hand over the notice, Yu Youling was on the verge of breaking down again.
“Humph!”
Xu Wenping waved his hand and knocked down the notice. “Ridiculous, completely wrong, nonsense. The patient was clearly suffering from a heart disorder, and the dampness and cold had entered her body. Yet, you treated it as a tumor and cut it open. Now, you’re still talking nonsense?”
“The hospital misdiagnosed and performed the surgery by mistake. This is more responsible than whether your scalpels are disinfected or not!”
Seeing Xu Wenping’s sharp gaze, the attending physician was instantly stunned. There was a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and laughed. “I think you’re the one who’s talking nonsense, right? What do you mean by having her heart and qi out of tune and dampness and cold entering her body? I’ve been a doctor for many years, but I’ve never heard of it!”
“If you continue to spout nonsense here, don’t blame me for getting someone to chase you out!”
The doctor’s heart was moved but calm.
It was not the first time that a tumor was misdiagnosed in the hospital. Even if the patient had undergone chemotherapy, they would sometimes find that there was no tumor when they cut open the patient’s body.
At that time, they would only need to suture and recuperate.
Unexpectedly, the patient seemed to have an even bigger problem this time. However, the root of the illness could not be found. Did that mean that it was not a tumor?
