Chapter 34: What is the patient

~4 min read 728 words

Seeing so many people watching, the couple stopped themselves in time, thinking it would be better to ask in private later.

Liu Chuxue had already thought about how to respond. After all, she couldn't act like the original owner in the future and could only subtly change her image: "Let’s take care of business first."

The man asked for their destination: "Sit tight, we’re off."

It was already noon when they arrived at the hospital, but Liu Fu’s condition couldn't be delayed any longer.

The man was also a warm-hearted person and even helped take the man into the hospital.

Liu Chuxue didn't care about rules and shouted loudly: "Doctor, doctor, save him!"

Soon, the on-duty medical staff rushed out. The nurse running in front asked: "What is the patient’s condition?"

Liu Chuxue quickly explained the situation.

The nurse’s eyes were full of disapproval: "Why did it take so long to bring him here?"

Liu Chuxue naturally knew it was a bit late, but what could she do? Without money, one couldn't move an inch. As an underage girl who had just transmigrated, what say did she have? She could only play some small tricks to create conditions.

Liu Mu hurriedly explained: "After the accident, we sent him to our commune’s health center, but the conditions were limited. The doctor suggested we go to a big hospital. We spent some time gathering money, which is why it was delayed."

What she didn't say was that to get from the commune to the city, they could only take the passing bus from the county to the city, and if they missed the time, there were no buses. This was already their fastest speed.

It wasn't that the mother and daughter hadn't thought about borrowing the village’s livestock to pull them to the city, but the time it would take to get to the city was about the same as catching this bus, and they had no money on them, so it would have been useless anyway.

When the medical staff heard their words, they somewhat understood their difficulties.

Soon, Liu Fu was pushed into the examination room. The mother and daughter wanted to follow, but were stopped by the nurse: "Family members should wait outside. We will come out to notify you if there is anything."

Before long, a nurse came out, asked for some information, and handed over a filled-out form: "Go pay the fees first."

Liu Chuxue felt very heavy-hearted when she saw the amount. After all, after paying this, the money for subsequent treatment was still nowhere to be found.

But she couldn't worry about that anymore. For now, she could only take it one step at a time; a living person must not be suffocated by urine.

Liu Mu nervously handed the bundle she had been protecting in her arms to her daughter and said in a low voice, pretending to be calm: "I hid the money in the upper pocket of your dad’s change of clothes."

Liu Chuxue took the bundle, gave Liu Mu a reassuring look, and ran to the payment office with the form.

After completing the hospitalization procedures, looking at the few dozen yuan left, and thinking about the subsequent treatment costs, she couldn't help but frown and sigh.

She jogged back to the examination room. The doctor had finished the check-up and was negotiating with Liu Mu: "You’re quite lucky. Although it was delayed for so long, fortunately, the broken leg is not infected, and it seems the surrounding nerve tissues were not damaged. This is a blessing in misfortune.

Also, although the other leg is severely swollen, the bone is not damaged, but the contusion is quite serious. There are a few more tests to do in a moment. Once the results are out, we will arrange surgery as soon as possible."

Hearing the doctor’s words, Liu Mu’s eyes turned red, and she clasped her hands together, thanking them repeatedly.

Seeing Liu Mu like this, Liu Chuxue felt very uncomfortable.

She reached out to support her: "Mom, I know you’re worried about Dad, but if you collapse, what will happen to Dad?"

Liu Mu knew her daughter was right, but with such a big matter, she, a woman, was truly a bit lost. Fortunately, her second daughter had a plan: "Mom knows."
