Without waiting for him to speak, Shi Niange opened the door and walked out.
However, she did not expect the young nurse to return so quickly. In just a few minutes, the young nurse ran back with the takeaway box. She almost bumped into her.
The moment the two of them almost collided, Shi Niange lost her balance because of the pain in her leg. She took a step back and knocked open the door of the consulting room.
The little nurse glanced at her, her eyes unhappy. However, the door opened, and Doctor Qin could see it. She could only say, âAre you all right?â
âItâs fine.â Shi Niange could clearly feel the hostility others had for her. She did not plan on saying more and directly left.
âYouâre leaving?â
Shi Niange did not answer.
âThen, take it. This is the lunch box that Doctor Qin asked me to order for you. Donât waste Doctor Qinâs good intentions.â The young nurse took out a lunch box from inside and stuffed it into Shi Niangeâs hands. After carelessly stuffing it into Shi Niangeâs hands, she no longer cared about her and turned to enter.
The lunchbox was still slightly hot. Shi Niange took it and looked at it. She did not speak and walked straight to the elevator.
After leaving the hospital, she originally planned to throw the lunch box into the rubbish. However, because she had not eaten much the whole day, her stomach was indeed hurting.
The lunchbox in her hand was still warm. Even if she returned to the company to eat now, it would take at least half an hour.
She walked to a public bench in front of the hospital. The night breeze was very cold, but it caused one to sober up.
In the past, when she was in school, her stomach was already not very good. If she did not eat a meal, her stomach would feel uncomfortable. In the past few years, she had been working overtime and eating irregularly. This stomach was really fatal.
She did not want to return to the company in a sorry state.
She opened the lunch box in her hand on the bench. Seeing that the meat and vegetables inside were quite well matched, and that there was a fixed disposable chopsticks on the box, she picked up the chopsticks and sat there to eat.
In the corridor of the hospital, the nurses at the reception desk and the nurse who had just gone to order food looked down from the window. They could not help but stand there and point downstairs to chat and laugh. They were curious where this woman came from and if she was chasing Doctor Qin. However, she was rejected by Doctor Qin. Now, she was sitting there deliberately eating and acting pitiful.
Qin Siting did not eat his lunch box. After inputting some content into his office computer, he got up and went out. He saw the two nurses standing there chatting and laughing. He glanced at them coldly and did not mind. He turned to leave, but he vaguely heard their conversation. That woman was eating the lunch box...
He did not stop and turned back to the office. The window on the right side of the office was the same as the one the two nurses had been standing in. He walked to the window and looked down.
Coincidentally, because Shi Niange was sitting there with her head lowered to eat, a strand of hair by her ear drooped down. She used her hand to push her hair back behind her ear and sat there to continue eating the hot lunch box.
The wind was a little strong, and half of the lunchbox would occasionally sway in the wind. She lowered her head and ate seriously. After eating more than half of it, she probably could not eat anymore, so she put it down and sat there holding half of the lunchbox. She was staring in a daze. After a while, she got up and threw the lunchbox and chopsticks into the trash can. She took out a wet towel from her bag to wipe her hands and then turned to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
Qin Siting saw all of this and retracted his gaze. He walked back to his desk and placed his hand on his bento box.
It was still warm.
...
Two days later.
âGrandma Xiang, is Uncle Wen Ke sick? Why are we going to the hospital to see him?â Shi Kele was in the car, leaning in Auntie Xiangâs arms as she asked. Her little hand touched the thermos in Auntie Xiangâs hand from time to time. She knew that there was soup made by Grandma Xiang inside.
âYour Uncle Wen is injured. Heâs still lying in the hospital and canât move. Your mommy canât leave the company. She asked me to stew some nutritious soup and take care of him. Be good later. Donât run around in the hospital, understand?â
âWill Uncle Wen Ke be in pain?â
âOf course, but donât worry. Uncle is very brave.â
Shi Kele nodded. âIâll be brave when I grow up. I wonât even cry when I get an injection.â
Auntie Xiang was immediately amused. She touched the little girlâs head and sighed. Thankfully, Wen Ke risked his life to protect Shi Niange when the accident happened a few days ago. Otherwise, if something had really happened to Shi Niange, Lele would be too pitiful. She didnât have a father to begin with...
When they arrived at the hospital, Auntie Xiang first brought Lele to visit Wen Ke in the ward. Wen Ke woke up the day after the surgery, but because he had thrown himself on Shi Niange, the fire in the car had burned his back. His back was badly burned, and most of his hair was gone, so he could only lie down.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing Leleâs voice, he turned to look at the little girl and smiled at her. âLele, donât get too close. Uncle looks a little scary now. I donât want to scare you.â
âIâm not afraid. Youâre Uncle Wen Ke. Iâm not afraid of you.â Lele walked to the bed and looked at him. She even reached out her small hand and carefully touched Wen Keâs uninjured face. âUncle, when will you recover?â
Wen Ke smiled. âIâll be fine in a few days.â
âLele, donât touch him. We have invisible bacteria on our hands. Uncle Wenâs body canât be touched easily right now. Let him rest well.â Auntie Xiang pulled Lele away and carried her to the seat next to her. âSit for a while. There a childrenâs entertainment area downstairs. Iâll feed Uncle Wen here. Go down and play for a while, ok?â
âOkay.â The moment Lele heard that there was a place to play, her eyes lit up.
Auntie Xiang brought her out of the ward and informed the nurses at the reception desk to help bring the child to the childrenâs entertainment area. She learned that there was fee, but it was also very safe. As there would be specialized people watching the children, she felt more at ease and let the nurse bring Lele downstairs.
Lele found a kid who was similar to her to play with in the childrenâs entertainment area. The two of them played maritime ball and were extremely happy. As they played, she asked the kid, âLittle brother, why did you shave half of your head?â
The child opposite her said in a childish voice, âI donât know. Mommy said that my head needs to undergo surgery tomorrow, so I have to shave my hair off. I think this is very cool!â
Shi Keke didnât quite understand but still nodded. âOh... so this is called cool.â
Qin Siting walked past the pediatric clinic in the afternoon. He entered with a diagnosis record of a child who had been transferred from the pediatrics department to the internal medicine department. He heard a child laughing and playing in the childrenâs area. The laughter was too loud. He turned to look over.
