Chapter 49: Him to the Rescue! (2)
“Doctor, can you please help out here and go ahead and get her admitted? I’ll pay later. Would that be possible?”
Put on the spot, the doctor replied awkwardly, “I cannot do that. You need to pay first and then arrange for her to be admitted. That’s standard procedure. How could I let you leave? What would we do if you left and didn’t co back?”
They had encountered incidents like this before at the hospital. Abandonnt of a sick elderly person wasn’t uncommon!
There had even been cases of new-born infants being abandoned!
Ye Tianxin was so desperate that tears started to well up in her eyes. Seemingly out of control, she yelled, “Of course not. I would never desert my grandmother! I’m just going to head back to get the money. If you don’t believe , I can leave my applicant’s pass with you as collateral....”
Looking exasperated, the doctor glanced at Ye Tianxin and responded, “Young lady, what would I do with your applicant’s pass? Please quickly think this through. If you really don’t have the money, then you should just wait until your grandmother cos around and take her ho. If you want your grandmother to be treated, then you need to pay to get her admitted.”
Ye Tianxin was so frantic that her hands were trembling. She definitely wanted her grandmother to be treated.
Since she didn’t have the money, she would take out a loan in order to get her grandmother treated.
However... she didn’t have the power to split herself into two, so how would she be able to stay at the hospital and head back to the bookshop for the bank deposit book at the sa ti?
“Phone. May I please use the phone?”
Clutching the phone in the doctor’s office, Ye Tianxin retrieved the piece of paper that Yan Ge had given her and dialed the number on it.
The call was quickly answered by soone on the other end.
“Hello. Who’s this?”
At the sound of a friendly voice, Ye Tianxin’s floodgates opened, and she started wailing.
“Hello. This is the number that Yan Ge gave . He told that if I ever got into any trouble while in Capital City, that I should call this number. Can you help , please? My grandmother’s sick. I need to go get my grandmother’s bank book to withdraw money and pay for her to be admitted. However, the people here are afraid that I’ll just run away and won’t co back, so they’ve refused to let leave.... But I’m not going to run away. I’m really not. If you’re unsure about , you could have soone co with to the book shop. I’m just going there to get the bank book....”
At the other end of the line, Li Qingcang could hear the young girl’s tearful voice, and he subconsciously softened his tone. Gently, he said, “Now, now, stop crying. When you cry and talk at the sa ti, I can’t understand what you’re trying to tell .”
“My grandmother is sick. I don’t have any money on to get her warded at the hospital. I need to go get my grandmother’s bank book and withdraw money for her treatnt....”
After Ye Tianxin finished talking, Li Qingcang finally understood what she was trying to tell him.
“What hospital are you at? What departnt?”
Ye Tianxin asked the doctor standing to the side and then replied, “Capital First Hospital. A&E departnt.”
“Okay. Wait for . I’ll co over right now.”
Ye Tianxin was a tad apprehensive. What if he was rely giving her lip service and wasn’t planning to co over at all?
“Please co. I’ll be waiting here for you. I’m wearing a floral-patterned dress, and I have dark hair.... Oh, right, and my na is Ye Tianxin. If you can’t find , just shout my na, and I’ll hear from you! Please, please co and help out!”
After he hung up the phone, Li Qingcang proceeded to head out, but at that mont, Li Xingchen stood at the door, arms crossed, and blocked his exit.
“Stay right there. Where do you think you’re going now?”
Li Qingcang looked at his sister and said quietly, “Give your wallet!”
Li Xingchen retrieved her wallet and handed it to him. “What do you want it for?” she asked.
“To save a life!”
Because the injuries Li Qingcang had recently sustained were serious, the Li family had had no choice but to forcibly restrain him at Capital for his convalescence.
And Li Xingchen was the only mber of the family who could manage the little overlord.
So, Li Xingchen visited him daily at the hospital just to keep an eye on this overbearing little brother of hers in case he got up to one of his tricks.
