Chapter 933: [(933)] Argued

Reflecting on this, Wu Lixuan felt the same state of mind and pressure as Doctor Li, as it was no simple task to speak amidst such circumstances.

“Where’s your patient gown?” Yin Fengchun asked her again, wanting her to wear the patient gown again, as it was the only attire allowed during hospital stays.

Gathering her courage, Wu Lixuan explained to him, “I need to be discharged.”

“Who said you could be discharged? Which doctor told you that?” Yin Fengchun asked, lowering his eyes as if closely observing her face.

“They said, after the tubes are removed, the doctors call for discharge.”

It seemed he remembered that she had been able to get out of bed for the past two days; unexpectedly, she went around visiting and chatting with other patients. Yin Fengchun let out a soft chuckle from his throat.

“Why are you laughing? I’m serious. Hurry up and remove my tubes; I need to be discharged,” Wu Lixuan turned her face, speaking to him with an urgent tone.

The curve at the edge of Yin Fengchun’s mouth hadn’t changed at all; he wasn’t laughing, his eyes cold and profound, occasionally flashing a professional sharpness, much like a surgical knife was scrutinizing.

Feeling his gaze, Wu Lixuan’s heart faltered, and she stammered a bit, “Didn’t you, hear what I said clearly? I have important things to do, so I must be discharged.”

She insisted on finishing her request.

“So when I came in, didn’t I first ask you? If you have something, you can explain it clearly to me,” Yin Fengchun spoke to her with a slow and methodical tone.

Hearing his tone, Wu Lixuan felt like bursting into flames, and stood up urgently, looking up into his eyes, “I’m telling you to help me remove the tubes so I can leave, and you’re talking about something else?”

In an instant, the air was as tense as a drawn bow.

The nurse, who was listening at the door leaning against it, quickly took out her phone to call Xie Wanying.

Xie Wanying had just hung up the phone with her mother and soon received a tip-off from the nurse.

“She said she wants to leave; we’ve informed Doctor Yin to come here,” the nurse said.

From the nurse’s words, Xie Wanying sensed something and responded, “I understand, I’ll be there.”

Hastily getting up, she suddenly realized several pairs of eyes were watching her, probably starting from the moment she picked up the phone.

“Yingying, I’ve been calling you several times, and you didn’t hear any of it,” her classmate Li Qi’an recounted how she had seemingly turned deaf, asking, “Who were you talking to? Was it your family?”

Xie Wanying, who hadn’t answered, was locking eyes with Senior Cao.

The other two onlooking classmates realized she had turned deaf again, but this time they didn’t dare to complain, as anyone being looked at by Cao Yong like that would surely turn deaf.

“This expression from Senior Cao is something never seen before–kind of strange,” thought Li Qi’an and Yue Wentong.

Cao Yong was very anxious inside; as soon as he saw her answering the phone, he immediately remembered the time she cried, sensing that this phone call could make her cry again soon.

What exactly was going on with her family? Why did her expression completely change upon picking up the call, as if she was about to cry at any moment?

When would she be willing to share her feelings with him, instead of him having to see her looking helpless, causing his heart to break into pieces?

“Senior Brother–” a hesitant voice squeezed from Xie Wanying’s lips.

Hearing her voice, Cao Yong’s mind cleared, and he picked up the mobile phone from the desk, saying, “Doctor Yin is there; I’ll have Senior Brother Huang check on it again, don’t worry.” As he spoke, he called the junior on duty that evening.
