Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Sister Chi Is Unfathomable in Many Ways
Ti was of the essence.
Xia Yong didn’t think too much. Taking Xu Wen with him, he followed Su Niannian to the hotel room her aunt had booked.
Seeing the addition of two unfamiliar young people, the aunt was slightly surprised, “They are…?”
“Hello, we are doctors,” Xu Wen explained with a smile. He then entered the room with Xiang Nuan, turning his attention to Mrs. Su on the bed.
Seeing her pale face and the faint purplish tint to her lips, Xu Wen frowned, “There’s no ti to lose, let’s get moving!”
“Right.” Xia Yong stepped forward, ready to help Mrs. Su up.
Xu Wen stopped him, “We’ve got it.”
After speaking, he and Xiang Nuan cobbled together a makeshift stretcher in the room.
Xia Yong, Su Niannian, and the aunt stood by the door, gaping as the two handled Mrs. Su onto the stretcher with a very special and professional technique and then walked toward the door.
The three quickly stepped aside.
Xia Yong went ahead to summon the elevator.
Once downstairs, a black Land Rover was parked at the curb.
Seeing the group erge, the well-trained driver stepped forward to help lift the stretcher into the back seat.
The back row of seats had been folded down in advance, providing enough space for a person to lie down.
The entire process was orderly, and the three onlookers found no opportunity to lend a hand, the chaos and urgency they anticipated were nonexistent.
When everyone was in the car, the driver started the engine and drove off.
Xu Wen sat to one side, noticing the uneasy expressions on the faces of the three opposite, he comforted with a smile, “Don’t worry. I had a quick look at your aunt’s condition just now. It may look scary, but it’s actually not that serious.”
His words were light, but Su Niannian and Xia Yong were not so optimistic.
Mrs. Su’s brain disease had been ongoing for five to six years, and the South City Hospital had even invited specialists from Capital City to examine her. The conclusion was always the sa: there was no cure, only maintenance to prevent further deterioration.
However, they were good intentions to comfort, so Su Niannian smiled, “Thank you, that makes feel a lot better.”
Xu Wen detected the aning behind her words and smiled without saying anything more.
The vehicle drove on for two hours, leaving Capital City and reaching the suburbs, heading further and further into isolation.
Xia Yong looked out the window at the scenery and began to harbor a few doubts.
As far as he was aware, all the good hospitals in Capital City were located within the city limits. Now that they had reached the suburbs, could they really be heading to so small private clinic?
He had heard that many private clinics had arrangents with dical students, offering commissions for patient referrals…
With this thought, Xia Yong grew increasingly vigilant.
After approximately another half-hour, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
At the foot of a mountain range, surrounded by picturesque scenery, the tranquil Furun Sanatorium gradually ca into view.
The car slowly pulled up in front of the sanatorium.
Xu Wen got out to handle the admission procedures.
Xia Yong peered through the car window at the sanatorium’s interior.
From the entrance alone, one couldn’t see clearly, but it was already evident that the environnt inside was exceptionally pleasant and comfortable. One could even spot many expensive plants and ornantal bonsai sold on current markets.
The gateway’s stone stele was elaborately engraved with the words “Furun Sanatorium” in stylized characters.
Xia Yong was also a businessman, involved in real estate cooperation.
At this mont, seeing the scene within the grounds, he could tell that the sanatorium must have cost a fortune to build, at least a hundred million yuan or more.
Typically, only private hospitals would invest such money to create a comfortable environnt to attract wealthy patients.
The more Xia Yong looked, the more it resembled a private hospital, and the uneasier he felt.
Taking advantage of Xu Wen and Xiang Nuan getting out of the car, Xia Yong whispered to Su Niannian, “Nian Nian, are you sure about your friend? How is she connected to this hospital?”
Su Niannian’s eyes hadn’t left her mother on the stretcher for a mont. At his question, she shook her head, indicating her uncertainty, “Sister Chi’s actions are often beyond our comprehension.”
Xia Yong sighed quietly to himself, his wariness heightened.
Soon after, Xu Wen and Xiang Nuan returned to the car, and they drove into the sanatorium.
