Chapter 423
"..."
Pipes? Acceptance? Explosion incident? Ah, this...
Looking at the gas company employee in front of him whose eyes were swollen like peaches and whose small face was full of guilt, Li Ang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only scratch the back of his head awkwardly.
If this really was a gas pipe explosion that resulted in Anna's thigh injury and almost caused her to fall to her death, he would probably want to tear the other person apart alive right now.
But the problem is, this time it really wasn't her fault. The explosion incident was made up by that evil god's brain, and the hospital accident was an attack launched by the Dean, not because the gas company's pipes were substandard.
As for the little girl in front of him, her work didn't have any problems either; it was purely bad luck that she got involved, and she was implicated by the Bureau of Cleanup's strange operation...
"This... I see you're quite sincere in your apology, how about... as long as you cover the medical expenses, we'll just let this matter go?"
Li Ang, whose conscience was a little uneasy, originally thought about just letting it go, but then felt that his sister almost getting into trouble in a "gas explosion" and him not pursuing it would be too fake, so he simply made a relatively compromise request.
Anyway, his relatives' medical treatment can be reimbursed with the Bureau of Cleanup's credentials, Anna's lung disease doesn't need to be paid for privately, and she only hurt her leg in the "gas explosion" incident, so it would cost at most one or two silver wheels, which wouldn't cause too much economic pressure on the other party...
Not expecting Li Ang and the other person to be so easy to talk to, the doll-faced girl suddenly raised her head, her face full of disbelief:
"Just this... is enough?"
Looking back at his sister, and seeing that she was blushing and lost in thought without raising any objections, Li Ang turned back and nodded apologetically to the girl who was crying pitifully in front of him.
"Yes, that's enough."
"..."
Only need this little compensation? Are there really such people?
Hearing Li Ang's affirmative answer, the girl wearing the professional suit couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes, swollen into slits, full of disbelief.
Among those affected by this incident, most were knocked unconscious by the volatilized anesthetic and then inhaled an excessive amount of anesthetic gas. Some haven't even woken up yet, but these people are actually relatively easy to compensate; just compensate for lost wages and medical expenses.
The most serious one left is the hospital Dean, but that person doesn't seem to be a good person and was reported for doing many bad things. If he didn't die, he might have to go to the gallows, so there's no need to compensate him.
Then there are the few people who jumped out of the window from the fourth floor. The older nurse wasn't injured, just a little frightened, while the young nurse who suffered severe joint trauma teamed up with her fiancé to ruthlessly knock a sum of money out of her company.
But her fiancé said he needed to buy something and left in a hurry with the money. She felt that the man seemed to be taking the money and running away, so she specifically reminded her, only to be pointed at and scolded by her for more than an hour... *sob*...
Thinking of this, the doll-faced girl couldn't help but sniff hard, looking at the kind Li Ang in front of her with teary eyes, feeling that there is really no comparison between people.
Although the last girl left didn't suffer as serious injuries as that nurse, she was also cut on the thigh by broken glass, and if it weren't for her quick reaction, her fate would probably be the same as the Dean on the sixth floor.
She hesitated for a long time before coming over, and was prepared to be scolded or even beaten, but the couple turned out to be so kind, only asking her to pay for medical expenses. Are they too good?
"That... I'd better pay you some more compensation!"
Looking at Li Ang's somewhat worn-out coat, and then at this "simple" ward that costs less than two silver wheels a night, the doll-faced girl felt even more guilty.
The young couple in front of her are clearly the kind of people who don't have much money, but after encountering a chance to knock someone for a sum, they only asked for basic medical expenses. She can't let such good people suffer!
After clenching her small fists hard, the doll-faced girl raised her head and persuaded Li Ang with a moved face: "You two are so young, you shouldn't have saved up too much money yet. This time your wife is injured, and you have to take time off to take care of her, which will definitely delay your work.
If I compensate you with more money, you can use this money to hire a caregiver for your wife, which will not only allow her to get better care but also avoid delaying..."
"Wait? Did you misunderstand something?"
The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Li Ang, whose mind was full of the explosion incident, chewed on the other party's words seriously and was speechless for a moment:
"We are not a couple, we are siblings!"
"Ah? Is that so? I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Hearing Li Ang's correction, the doll-faced girl blushed and bowed repeatedly to apologize:
"The compensation list I received only had names. I saw that your surname was the same as hers in the hospital's visitor registration, and your hair colors were different, so I thought you were... Ah! I'm sorry! I'm very sorry!!!"
"It's okay..."
Raising her hand to touch her light golden hair, and then looking at Li Ang's deep black hair, Anna on the hospital bed seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled faintly at her and said softly to resolve the situation:
"My brother's hair color is different from mine, and we don't look very much alike, so it's easy to misunderstand if you're not careful. As for the compensation, I didn't suffer any injuries, so let's just do as my brother said..."
"Oh! Right!"
Speaking of this, Anna seemed to have remembered something, propped herself up from the hospital bed with effort, and asked seriously:
"What about Auntie Hannah? Although she wasn't injured, she was also scared to death yesterday, and she hasn't come to the hospital until now. Have you given her compensation?"
"Are you talking about the older nurse?"
The doll-faced girl recalled for a moment and said with a face full of guilt:
"As for her, we have already given compensation, and I guarantee it is very generous!
After all, although she wasn't injured, she was really scared to death by yesterday's explosion, and even possibly... possibly mentally unstable..."
"What?"
Hearing that the older nurse who took good care of her had an accident, Anna became anxious. She held onto Li Ang's arm to sit up straight, and asked with a face full of worry:
"How could that be? When we parted last night, wasn't she still fine?"
"This... I'm not very clear either..."
Thinking of the situation of another poor victim, the doll-faced girl couldn't help but lower her head in guilt, biting her lips and saying in a low voice with teary eyes:
"When we went, we heard from her husband that she was just a little uneasy last night, but her condition was quite stable. But as soon as she woke up this morning, she suddenly started talking nonsense for no reason.
She first insisted that no explosion accident had occurred, then said that the hospital floor would eat people, and many patients had been eaten, but a woman covered in bandages came later and let her down from the window or something... She must have been scared to death by yesterday's events..."
Hearing this, Li Ang, whose face was full of sympathy, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Wait, no explosion occurred, the hospital floor would eat people, and a woman covered in bandages...
Hmm?!!!
