Chapter 408

Song Ziqi rarely heard Zhang Tezhu praise anyone.

But the praise in Zhang Tezhu's tone right now was not mere politeness; he truly felt that Shu Xia was worthy of it.

For a moment, Song Ziqi's heart felt heavy.

Under the quilt, her hands were tightly clasped together.

——

Jing City, inside the hospital.

Abusive shouting kept coming from the patient's room.

It made it impossible for patients in other rooms to rest well, and they complained to the head nurse one after another.

The head nurse's head throbbed when she saw these complaints.

She never imagined that a lady from a wealthy family could be so lacking in character, and this family was truly the most superficially responsible yet actually perfunctory family she had ever seen.

Their attitude toward the patient lacked any patience; otherwise, it wouldn't just be that the patient was recovering poorly, but the patient also kept losing their temper.

It was precisely because the patient was hurt by how the family treated them that they were throwing hysterical tantrums.

The head nurse had seen countless patients and families and understood all too well what was going on in this situation.

She walked into the room, looked at the bowl shattered on the floor and the food scattered everywhere, and her eyelids twitched violently; the situation was even more serious than she had thought.

It really is...

She didn't know what to say.

Lin Xu and Lin Bin, the two people in the room, were also splattered with food, looking quite disheveled.

Both men looked quite handsome; after all, they came from a wealthy family, and their designer clothes were now ruined.

Seeing the head nurse enter, Lin Xu's expression changed, and he suppressed his anger as he said to Chen Xiuyue, "Mom, can you stop making a scene?"

"I'm making a scene? If you hadn't treated me poorly and hadn't thought about taking good care of me, would I be angry? I just complained to you that I was uncomfortable and didn't like the food, and you frowned and got angry! How could I not be angry!" Chen Xiuyue defended herself.

She was suffering the pain of an amputation and needed meticulous care from her family, but look at them!

They actually despised her for being a cripple!

They were impatient with her and didn't care for her wholeheartedly; sitting here claiming to keep her company, they were all just looking at their phones and playing on them. If she wanted a sip of water, they all felt she was looking for trouble.

Listening to Chen Xiuyue's words, Lin Bin and Lin Xu's expressions were both unpleasant.

Lin Xu, in particular, couldn't hold back anymore, "Mom, can you stop being so unreasonable? We put aside all our work to be here with you; that's already quite good, isn't it? Why can't you just properly understand us?"

He really couldn't understand it.

How had the elegant and polite mother from before turned into this, no different from a shrew?

Chen Xiuyue was so angry her eyes turned red, "You! You all, I worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you treat me?"

For every word she said, they had ten words waiting in response.

Lin Bin frowned tightly; it was clear his patience had been worn thin.

Hearing this, the head nurse understood most of it.

Since the patient had such strong grievances, it was certain the family members hadn't put their hearts into soothing them.

She spoke up, "Many patient families are complaining to me that you are too noisy. Taking care of a patient is indeed not that simple, especially when the patient has just undergone surgery and their emotions are unstable; they need patient communication and persuasion from their family even more. Is there anyone else in your family who can come to take care of the patient?"

This last sentence was a question directed at Lin Bin and Lin Xu.

Lin Bin did not want to speak.
