Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Family Disaster
Chiang Xiao: “…”
Hu Xibing couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
The doctor glared at Chiang Xiao, having completely written her off as an ignorant and naughty child.
He lectured her for a bit longer, until a nurse outside called for him, and he left with a dark face. Before leaving, he turned his head back and added another word of advice, “Reflect on your behavior, both of you! Go and get them so porridge quickly!”
Chiang Xiao was at a loss for words.
With her fair, smooth face and slight apple cheeks, she had thought herself quite likable. She never expected to rub the doctor the wrong way today, especially to the point where he used her looks as a point of criticism while scolding her.
Pfft.
Hu Xibing finally burst into laughter.
Though the scolding had been severe, it was his first ti seeing Chiang Xiao with such an expression, and he found it inexplicably hilarious.
Chiang Xiao glared at him, speechless.
Hu Xibing said, “That, Sister-in-law, I’m going to make a phone call and also buy sothing for Aunt Shi and Little Tiger to eat. Will you be ok here by yourself?”
“Are you calling the alliance team?”
“Yes, I’ll contact Captain ng. I have to let him know you’re at the hospital, don’t I? And also to let Vice Captain Lei know. His mother and son are both here in the hospital, he might still be waiting for them.”
“Alright, I’m fine, go ahead.”
Chiang Xiao waved her hand. Once he left the room, she walked over to Little Tiger, touched his forehead, and found it still very warm. It seed his fever wasn’t going to subside anyti soon.
“Little Tiger, do you feel very uncomfortable?”
Little Tiger shook his head, “Not very, I can bear it. I’m just worried about how my grandma is feeling.”
“If you can bear it, then certainly your grandma can too.”
Last night on the train, the lighting had been dim, and she had only seen Little Tiger’s bright eyes without paying much attention to his appearance. Now that she saw him clearly, she realized how thin he really was; he lacked the robustness typical of children and had a face so gaunt it’s almost without flesh.
And Aunt Shi’s face was even more sallow and ashy, with her hair already half white.
Without a close look, one might think she was just over fifty, but upon closer inspection, she seed beyond sixty.
However, their clothes were painstakingly clean and tidy, patches ticulously sewn in place.
Aunt Shi’s hair was also combed without a hair out of place.
Considering Little Tiger’s upbringing and politeness, Chiang Xiao felt that although Aunt Shi may live in poverty, her spirit was certainly not impoverished.
“Little Tiger, have you both been ill for a few days? Why didn’t you rest at ho instead of taking a train to the provincial city? You could’ve called your father to co ho.”
“Yes, we’ve been sick for a few days. But yesterday, grandma and I thought we had gotten better. We took dicine at ho,” Little Tiger said, his expression growing even dimr and sadder. “Mother burned the notebook with my father’s phone number in it, and grandma doesn’t rember the number, so we couldn’t call.”
What?
Chiang Xiao was stunned for a mont, then asked, “What about your mother?”
“My mother…” Tears welled up in Little Tiger’s eyes, “she doesn’t want Little Tiger anymore, she said she doesn’t want my father either!”
Uh. Chiang Xiao hadn’t expected such an answer. Was Lei Jiasheng’s wife thinking of divorce? But in those tis, divorce seed to be quite scandalous, right?
Moreover, marrying a Supervisor Guard was considered an honorable thing, and people usually didn’t divorce under such circumstances.
It appeared Lei Jiasheng’s family was also in turmoil.
“So, you didn’t call your father before coming here?”
