41 Cannot Be Discharged
Fang Yao, who was in the ward, did not know that because of his biological brotherâs call, his parents had already erupted. There would be a bloodbath later.
âDo you want some fruit?â Fang Yao handed the washed fruit to Yuan Xiao. He looked at her bandaged forehead and felt very uncomfortable.
âIf Iâd been there a little earlier, you wouldnât have been hurt.â
Yuan Xiaoâs heart warmed when she saw Fang Yao lower his head in self-blame.
âItâs okay. If I wasnât injured, my parents probably wouldnât have fallen out with my auntâs family.â
When Yuan Xiao thought of Shen Lingâs family, she felt a little frustrated.
Shen Hai and Feng Mei were honest people and had always been very polite to Shen Lingâs family. If not for the fact that she was injured today, who knew how long they would have been entangled with Shen Lingâs family.
âI think your parents wonât be too hard on that woman.â Fang Yao was angry, but because Yuan Xiaoâs parents were present, he could not flare up.
âYes, so Iâm afraid Iâll have to stay in the hospital for a while longer.â
Fang Yao looked at the smiling Yuan Xiao and suddenly understood. âYou mean, no matter how serious your injuries are, you wonât be discharged easily?â
Yuan Xiao nodded. If she did not make a fuss, her parents would not realize the seriousness of the problem. She wanted to use this opportunity to completely distance Shen Hai and Feng Mei from Shen Lingâs family.
Fang Yao did not think that there was anything wrong with Yuan Xiaoâs actions at all. In fact, he felt very relieved.
âXiao Xiao, the results are out.â
Li Chang came in from outside the ward and took the results of Yuan Xiaoâs brain examination.
âThe doctor said that itâs nothing. Itâs just a superficial wound. Take care to rest. Youâll be fine in a week.â
Li Chang heaved a sigh of relief when she knew that Yuan Xiao was fine.
However, she realized that Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao seemed to have something on their minds. The two of them looked at each other and smiled before Fang Yao walked out of the ward.
âXiao Xiao, the doctor said that you can be discharged now. Has Fang Yao gone to settle the discharge procedures?â
Li Chang did not understand the situation and felt that Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao seemed to be plotting something.
âIâm still a little dizzy. I shouldnât be able to be discharged today.â Yuan Xiao saw that Li Chang had obviously become nervous. She smiled helplessly and decided to tell her the truth.
âI donât want to let Aunt and the others off so easily, so I want to stay in the hospital for a few days.â
Li Chang was relieved when she heard Yuan Xiaoâs words.
âI see. Thatâs good. We shouldnât let them off so easily!â Li Chang thought of Yuan Xiaoâs aunt and felt that she had indeed gone overboard.
âUncle and Auntie are soft-hearted. We canât just let it go.â
When Yuan Xiao heard Li Changâs words, she felt that her friend was really like her. They both hated evil.
âSo you donât have to worry. When my parents come later, we have to make them think that the matter is serious. We canât let them off so easily just because theyâre relatives.â
Yuan Xiao was not a magnanimous person to begin with. If anyone made her unhappy, she would definitely pay them back double.
Fang Yao explained the situation to the doctor and said that Yuan Xiao was still not feeling well, so he naturally went through the hospitalization procedures.
When he returned to the ward, Fang Yao received a call from Sun Ting. Sure enough, Shen Hai and Feng Mei did not make things too difficult for Shen Lingâs family. They simply apologized and they let them leave. Now, they and Yuan Xiaoâs parents were rushing to the hospital and would be arriving soon.
Yuan Xiao was not surprised by this result. She sat on the bed and secretly made up her mind.
When Shen Hai and Feng Mei rushed to the ward, Yuan Xiao was lying on the bed.
âXiao Xiao, how are you now? What did the doctor say?â
Shen Hai did not expect Yuan Xiao to be hospitalized. When he saw his weak daughter on the bed, he felt terrible.
âUncle, Yuan Xiao has a slight concussion. If she had come to the hospital a little later, Iâm afraidâ¦â
Fang Yaoâs acting was a little exaggerated. Yuan Xiao could not help but cough lightly. She was worried that if she did not speak, she would scare her down-to-earth parents.
âDad, Mom, Iâm fine. You donât have to worry too much.â With Li Changâs help, Yuan Xiao struggled to sit up from the bed.
âXiao Xiao, itâs all Momâs fault. If it werenât for me, you wouldnât have gotten hurt.â
Feng Mei walked to Yuan Xiaoâs side, her eyes filled with self-blame.
âHow can I blame you?â Yuan Xiao smiled at Feng Mei and asked, âAunt and her family wonât ask you for money anymore, right?â
At the mention of Shen Lingâs family, Shen Haiâs face instantly darkened. âHmph, she wants money? If she dares to appear in front of me again in the future, Iâll settle the score with her. Xiao Xiaoâs injury canât be forgotten just like that!â
Although Shen Hai was honest and dutiful, he could not tolerate his daughter being hurt.
