“Isn’t it stomach cancer?” Xin Zaozao asked the doctor seriously.

The doctor, somewhat speechless, responded, “At such a young age, where are you getting all these cancers from? Stop overthinking and go do the hospital admission procedures for your boyfriend.”

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Xin Zaozao stated pausing after each word.

“What’s the big difference between a boyfriend and a husband,” the doctor asked indifferently.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“He has nothing to do with me!” Xin Zaozao argued loudly.

The doctor looked at her silently.

“As for the hospital admission procedures, notify his family members.” After Xin Zaozao finished speaking, she turned to leave.

The doctor stopped her, “If he meant nothing to you, why did you bring him to the hospital?”

“I hit him!”

“Then you absolutely can’t leave,” the doctor proclaimed righteously, “You hit someone and you’re not going to take responsibility?!”

Xin Zaozao pursed her lips.

“Don’t say anything else, either I call the police, or you take care of him, compensate for the damages and look after him!” Saying this, the doctor didn’t bother to seek Xin Zaozao’s agreement and instructed Nie Feng directly, “You go do the hospital admission procedures for the patient, you go to the ward together.”

Xin Zaozao watched the doctor.

“Hurry up!” The doctor urged.

Xin Zaozao hesitated for a moment, then followed the doctor and nurse’s strides.

She only went into Mu Cidian’s ward because she didn’t want to invite unnecessary trouble.

In the ward, after the doctor and nurse had settled Mu Cidian, they left.

Xin Zaozao was standing in his ward, keeping a distance as she watched him.

She saw that Mu Cidian had his eyes closed from beginning to end.

The ward was unusually quiet.

Xin Zaozao absolutely wouldn’t be the one to start a conversation.

She was just waiting for Nie Feng, intending to leave as soon as everything was in order.

She waited for quite a while.

Xin Zaozao was getting a little impatient, and her phone had run out of battery so she couldn’t ask Nie Feng what was taking him so long.

Her eyes moved slightly.

Suddenly, Mu Cidian on the sick bed sat up, lifting the covers and intending to get off the bed.

Under the covers, both of Mu Cidian’s lower legs were scarlet red. Since it was an external injury, it hadn’t been bandaged, only cleansed and treated with medicine. The sight, now blatantly displayed in front of Xin Zaozao, was particularly ghastly.

She averted her eyes, not looking at him.

Mu Cidian pulled down his trouser legs, hiding the wound.

He went to the bathroom.

His stomach was still churning.

This time, it seemed like he was really hurt.

He gripped the toilet bowl, wrenching out another bout of vomit, blood included. There was still blood in the toilet.

By the end of his retching, it was practically only blood left.

He clutched his stomach, trying hard to control himself.

After a while, he walked out of the bathroom.

He thought Xin Zaozao would have left by now, but surprisingly she was still standing there, not too far away but at a distance that he couldn’t seem to close.

He returned to his bed and laid down.

Xin Zaozao didn’t look at him.

He said, “You should go.”

Xin Zaozao’s eyes hesitated for a moment.

“The doctor said the traffic accident was a minor incident, just a scratch, not serious. The perforated stomach is a problem I caused myself, it has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to be threatened by the doctor,” Mu Cidian said calmly.

“I’m waiting for Nie Feng,” Xin Zaozao stated bluntly.

The hospital was so large, her phone had run out of battery, and she was afraid that if she left, Nie Feng would have a hard time finding her.

Mu Cidian didn’t say anything else.

He got back into bed and laid down properly.

Actually, he knew she couldn’t possibly be really worried about him.

He handed his phone to her, “You call Nie Feng.”

Xin Zaozao looked at him.

“Maybe Nie Feng also doesn’t know which ward I’m in,” Mu Cidian stated directly.

Xin Zaozao approached him.

She took his phone.

Since Mu Cidian was also annoyed at being in the same room with her, there was no need for her to stay in a place where they’re mutually repulsed.

“Password.” Xin Zaozao unlocked his phone.

The phone was locked.

“Give it to me.” Mu Cidian reached out.

Xin Zaozao handed the phone back to him.

Mu Cidian entered a few digits and gave it to her.

Xin Zaozao dialed the phone number.

Nie Feng answered, “Hello.”

“Nie Feng, it’s me. Where are you? I’m at Mu Cidian’s ward waiting for you.”

“I’ve finished hospital admission procedures, I couldn’t find the ward, the hospital is too big, everywhere looks the same.”

It seems he really did get lost.

She said, “Where are you, I’ll come find you.”

Nie Feng told her his location.

Xin Zaozao hung up and handed the phone back to Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian took it by hand.

Xin Zaozao left.

At the moment she left, “Do you need to notify your mother?”

“No need.” Mu Cidian refused.

Xin Zaozao knew that Mu Cidian and Wan Quan had been getting along really badly lately.

She didn’t think he was pretending.

She didn’t say more.

This was as far as her kindness to him extended, probably on account of her running into him that day.

She turned and walked straight out.

Mu Cidian was the only one left in the ward.

Mu Cidian stared at the door.

His throat trembling slightly.

As much as he wanted her to leave, he wished she could stay.

But that’s okay.

He is very self-aware.

The next day.

Mu Cidian had hardly slept all night.

He had been in abdominal pain the whole night.

He stopped vomiting after a while, but the pain was so severe that he couldn’t sleep.

The attending doctor came in to check on him, asking, “When do you plan to have the surgery?”

“I hope it can be as soon as possible.” Mu Cidian replied.

“We’ll do a pre-surgical examination first. If there’s no problem, I’ll arrange your surgery for this afternoon.”

“Thank you.”

“Where’s your family?” the doctor asked.

Mu Cidian said, “There’s none.”

“How can you have surgery without a family member? You need a family member to sign the surgical consent form. You should ask them to come.”

“Can’t I sign it?” Mu Cidian asked.

“Both you and your family member need to sign. Otherwise, the procedure will be complicated. I suggest you call your family. If it’s really impossible, I can make arrangements, but that will delay your surgery. Your stomach ulcer is quite severe, it’s best not to delay.” The doctor suggested somewhat coldly.

After giving the instructions, he left with the other doctors and nurses.

Mu Cidian lay in bed, staring fixedly at the ceiling.

Family member.

In this world, the only person he could call family was Wan Quan.

But obviously, they didn’t have a good relationship.

The pain in his upper abdomen was indeed unbearable.

So unbearable that he was finding it hard to cope.

He hesitated and decided to make a phone call.

Wan Quan just woke up and was going downstairs to have breakfast in her pajamas.

Seeing Mu Cidian’s call, she let out a cold laugh.

She answered, “Weren’t you ignoring me? What made you call me?”

“I have a slight problem with my stomach, the doctor suggests surgery and it requires a family member’s signature.”

“What’s wrong with your stomach?” Wan Quan was ultimately a bit anxious.

“Stomach ulcer.”

“I told you to take care of yourself for a day and all you know is to drink all day! This stomach ulcer is what you deserve!” Wan Quan cursed.

Mu Cidian didn’t reply.

It seemed like he had grown accustomed to his mother’s constant abuse.

At that moment, Xin Zaozao was heading downstairs to go to work and heard Wan Quan cursing on the phone.

She heard Wan Quan say, “Didn’t you say you wanted to sever our mother-son relations? We’re not mother and son anymore, why should I sign for your surgery? Your surgery is none of my business, don’t expect me to come to the hospital to see you!”

Having said that, she hung up abruptly.

It seemed like she was still quite angry.

Xin Zaozao walked out of the villa lobby.

She sat in the car without saying a word.

Nie Feng wasn’t the talkative type either.

So the car was mostly quiet.

During the silence, Xin Zaozao said, “Let’s go to the hospital.”

“Huh?” Nie Feng thought he heard wrong.

Xin Zaozao said, “The hospital where Mu Cidian is.”

Nie Feng nodded his head.

The car headed to the hospital and parked in the underground garage.

Xin Zaozao and Nie Feng walked toward Mu Cidian’s ward.

In the half-open ward, Mu Cidian sat on his bed, constantly holding his stomach with his hand. His complexion looked very pale.

The doctor stood by his bed.

Mu Cidian asked, “If I sign it myself, what do I need to prepare?”

“Currently, according to the medical surgical law of Yanshang Country, surgery is not allowed without consent from both the patient and a family member or related third party. In special cases where there’s no family member or third party, the hospital’s lawyer has to sign a surgery agreement with you on the spot to ensure legal effect. This process will take longer, about 2 days, so your surgery will be postponed.”

“Okay.” Mu Cidian nodded, “Proceed as per your process.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to find your family or friends to act as guarantors for the surgery? Your stomach ulcer is quite severe and the abdominal pain will intensify. Most people find it hard to bear. Moreover, you will require careful care after surgery. How can you do it without a family member?”

There’s nothing that’s impossible.

People are pushed by circumstances.
