~11 min read 2,103 words

Zhou Andong was stunned, then sighed, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples: "If you didn't say it, I would have really ignored it."

He really forgot about this matter, mainly because too many things happened today, and his brain had been in a state of high operation, and he had no time to think about other things at all.

"In this way!" Zhou Andong looked at Wu Hongkang, Zhang Shenghui, Dai Weimin, and Liu Lijuan: "We haven't eaten dinner yet. You go to the first bar first and ask the waiter to go out and buy some barbecue for us. By the time I go over, I guess it will all be roasted."

"Okay!" Liu Lijuan nodded: "Then we'll go over first."

Zhou Andong then said to Bai Wenlu, Kong Yu, and the reporter who was still carrying the camera: "You go together too. Everyone worked hard today. Relax tonight, drink some wine, and then go home and have a good sleep."

"We're leaving!" Wu Hongkang waved to Zhou Andong and Gu Bing, then turned and got into Zhang Shenghui's car. Wu Hongkang was also a car owner, but he had completely retired, so he didn't have a car. Now when he went out, he either took the bus or the subway, or hitched a ride with others.

Then Liu Lijuan, Dai Weimin, the secretary, and the reporter also got into the car. Although they were very curious about Zhou Andong saving the child, it was not the time to ask. Wait until they get to the bar to ask, so as to satisfy their restless curiosity.

Zhou Andong and Gu Bing got into the car, and Dong Wenjuan sat in the passenger seat. This was the first time she had gone out with the leaders in the car since she became a secretary.

"Wentian!" Zhou Andong leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said: "Go to Peking University First Hospital."

"Okay!" Wang Wentian answered, stepped lightly on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the parking lot steadily.

……………………

Peking University First Hospital!

Zhou Andong and Gu Bing arrived at the hospital and went to the emergency department first. Because when the child was sent here last night, it was received by the emergency department. If the condition was stable today, according to common sense, it should be transferred to the pediatrics department. But they knew nothing about the child's situation, not even her name, so they decided to go to the emergency room to ask about the situation first.

Originally, he planned to find his aunt to ask about the situation, because she was on duty last night and the child was also involved in the rescue, so she must know the child's situation clearly. But considering that his aunt was on night duty last night and must be off duty today, he finally chose to go to the emergency department first.

After all, the child was sent in the middle of the night. Even if the doctor who participated in the emergency last night was off today, other emergency doctors must know something about this matter.

Sure enough, Dong Wenjuan went to the emergency department and asked the nurse and found out. The child had completely broken her fever this morning, but because the child was malnourished for a long time, her body was very weak and she needed to be hospitalized for observation for two days. Currently, the child had been transferred to the pediatric ward, and the ward number was 3101.

Zhou Andong, Gu Bing, Dong Wenjuan, and Wang Wentian walked quickly to the pediatric ward, found ward 3101, and heard voices talking inside. Listening carefully, it was his aunt's voice.

Zhou Andong raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, and Zhao Ping's voice came from inside: "Come in!"

With a creak, Zhou Andong pushed the door open and saw his aunt wearing a white coat sitting by the hospital bed, peeling an apple with a knife in her hand.

"Aunt, you were on duty last night, why are you still at work today?"

Zhao Ping saw that it was Zhou Andong who came, and the smile on her face suddenly became bright: "I didn't go back until the child completely broke her fever this morning. I slept for a while and woke up after two in the afternoon. I was worried about this child, so I came over after eating. It just so happened that a colleague had something at home, so I swapped shifts with her."

Zhou Andong realized, stepped to the hospital window. The child was staring at him with wide, timid eyes. It was too urgent last night, and he didn't look closely. Now looking at her, the child was too thin, her face was sallow, and her hair was withered. It was clear at a glance that she was severely malnourished. He really didn't know how this girl survived.

Zhou Andong squatted by the hospital bed slowly, raised his arm to hold the child's hand, and the little girl was startled, shrinking her hand into the quilt with a "whoosh," her eyes looking at Zhou Andong full of vigilance.

Zhao Ping hurriedly put down the fruit knife in her hand, reached out and stroked the child's hair gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't be nervous. He is the brother who sent you to the hospital. It's just because his work is too busy, so he came to see you now."

When the little girl heard this, her eyes, which were full of vigilance, gradually relaxed, but she still kept her mouth tightly closed and said nothing.

Zhou Andong looked at the little girl in front of him. Although her body was very thin and her face was sallow, her eyes were very spiritual, watery, as if they could speak.

"Little sister, what is your name?"

The little girl remained silent. If Zhao Ping hadn't had communication with the child, he would have suspected that the child was deaf and dumb.

Zhao Ping sighed helplessly: "Her name is Yu Miao, and she is thirteen years old. I asked for a long time, and she could tell me. As for the others, the child has been unwilling to say anything."

Zhou Andong was stunned. He thought the child was at most seven or eight years old, but he didn't expect her to be thirteen. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, calm the fluctuations in his heart, and reached out again, wanting to touch the child's face.

The little girl was like a frightened little rabbit, quickly dodging away. Zhou Andong's hand froze there, and the little girl seemed to realize that her behavior was a bit impolite.

So, she stared at Zhou Andong with those watery eyes, as if she was thinking about something. Then, the little girl seemed to have made up her mind, hesitated, and slowly moved her little head towards Zhou Andong's hand, rubbing it gently on his hand. This small action made a warm current surge in Zhou Andong's heart.

Just when Zhou Andong stroked the little girl's hair, she moved her little head away quickly like an electric shock. Zhou Andong couldn't help but feel helpless. What kind of living environment caused this child's sensitive and cautious personality?

Zhao Ping sighed silently when she saw this scene. After the child broke her fever and woke up this morning, she knew after a simple understanding that the child must have suffered a lot, which created the child's sensitive and cautious personality.

Zhao Ping felt very sorry for this child. She took the peeled apple, cut a small piece, put it into the little girl's mouth gently, and said tenderly: "Eat more fruit, so that your body can recover faster."

Facing Zhao Ping, the little girl had no resistance, and even felt a bit close. It was estimated that in the past half day, she had gained trust in Zhao Ping, the doctor, so she opened her little mouth obediently.

Zhao Ping put the apple into the little girl's mouth. The little girl bit it with a "crunch, crunch," her big eyes getting brighter and brighter, and a smile appeared on her face.

Zhao Ping stroked the little girl's hair gently and asked softly: "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet!" The little girl said crisply. This was also the first time the girl spoke after Zhou Andong came in.

This girl was too heartbreaking. Zhou Andong looked at Zhao Ping and wanted to say something, but looked at the girl lying on the bed eating apples "crunch, crunch," and swallowed his words again, then stood up and said.

"Aunt, come out, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Ping understood seven or eight points when she heard Zhou Andong's words. She stood up slowly. She knew very well in her heart that Zhou Andong was looking for her just to talk about Yu Miao. In fact, she had been thinking about this problem all day today, how to arrange this child next.

Because judging from the current situation, Yu Miao should have been wandering outside for a long time. At the age of thirteen, if she had family members, she should have been found long ago. Even if she was abducted, after so many years, she should have had a chance to reunite with her family.

Of course, it couldn't be completely ruled out that she was abducted when she was young and later escaped by herself, but this probability was relatively low. Considering various factors, Zhao Ping felt that Yu Miao probably had no family members, or was abandoned by her family.

After all, the concept of valuing boys over girls was still very serious in this era. It would be fine if there was only one girl in the family. Because no matter how much they valued boys, if there were no boys in the family, they could treat the girl better. If there were boys in the family, the girl's life at home would definitely be very difficult.

"Aunt!" Zhou Andong glanced at the glass window on the ward door, and then continued: "You should also see that Yu Miao should have been wandering for a long time. It is estimated that she has no family members. What should we do next? Should we let her continue to wander?"

"Sigh!" Zhao Ping sighed: "Her situation, we are just guessing now. Let's wait until she gets better, and I will ask her about her family situation."

"We must first understand her family situation." Zhou Andong nodded: "I mean, what should we do if she has no family members after understanding?"

Zhao Ping laughed: "Do you want to adopt?"

Zhou Andong shook his head: "If she were young, I wouldn't have a problem adopting her. I wouldn't be short of a bite of food for her. But she is thirteen years old, so I can't adopt her."

Zhao Ping asked: "Then what are your thoughts?"

Zhou Andong shrugged and said helplessly: "I haven't thought about it either."

"I have always liked daughters, but I don't have that fate, so I want to adopt her, but..." Zhao Ping shook her head slightly: "Your uncle is in Dongguan, and I am a doctor and very busy. I don't have time to take care of her, whether in life or study, so I gave up this idea."

Zhou Andong tapped his head: "This child is too pitiful. We can't let her wander anymore."

"Yes, I can't bear to watch this child continue to wander." Zhao Ping sighed softly: "It's just that the current orphanage is not so reassuring."

"Director Zhao!" Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a white coat brought several young doctors and nurses over: "Aren't you off duty today?"

"Director Liu!" Zhao Ping said with a smile: "Old Chen had something at home, so I swapped shifts with him."

"You are busy, I'll go in for rounds." After speaking, Director Liu glanced at Zhou Andong, feeling a bit familiar, but didn't think too much, walked back two steps, and entered the ward next door.

Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: "In this way, your home is big and has many people, so take Yu Miao back first. See if the child adapts. If she doesn't adapt, I will adopt her.

At that time, I will try my best not to work overtime. If it really doesn't work, I will find a nanny. Xiaofan is in college, and when he has no classes, let him come back often to accompany his 'sister'."
