What Shen Shihan understood the least was sympathy because he neither needed anyones sympathy nor would he offer it to anyone else.
In his eyes, so-called sympathy was nothing more than mockery in disguise. Yet when he parked his car at the hospital entrance, he surprisingly hesitated for a moment.
He opened the car door and walked towards the building.
How are the two people who were brought in from the car accident doing? Shen Shihan asked the nurse at the front desk.
Oh, you mean the van accident on the highway? Theyre both in surgery now. The drivers injuries arent serious, but the young girls condition is more critical, the nurse replied.
B0xo.comIs there a life-threatening situation?
That its hard to say, the nurse responded with some difficulty.
Before Shen Shihan could speak again, the nurse looked at him, Are you a family member of the victims? Weve been trying to contact their relatives, but we havent been able to reach anyone yet.
After speaking, the nurse took out two identification cards, We found these in the car, the driver is Zhang Hua and the girl is MO Shuifu. Based on their IDs, it doesnt seem like the two are related. Do you know them?
Shen Shihan picked up one of the IDs, and the girls face appeared on the card.
A face like a melon seed, with willow-leaf eyebrows, and a serene smile gracing her face.
MO Shuifu Shen Shihan murmured softly.
Indeed, the name suited her, as the girl looked just like her name, serene and tranquil.
I dont know them, Shen Shihan handed back the ID to the nurse.
Oh, then well keep looking to try to locate the victims family, the nurse said with a smile to Shen Shihan.
Mmhmm, Shen Shihan put down the ID and left the hospital.
He still had important matters to attend to; he couldnt afford any more delays. Shen Chi was going to A City the day after tomorrow.
In school, Xu Chaomu had been quiet all morning, and after the lunch break, she found that her toothache had returned. She spent the entire afternoon listlessly draped over her desk until Yu Weiwei was almost ready to call an ambulance.
Chaomu, dont scare me. Where does it hurt? Ill take you to the infirmary, said Yu Weiwei as she touched Xu Chaomus forehead, which wasnt hot. She inspected Xu Chaomu from left to right and noticed a new abrasion on her arm. Chaomu, what happened to your arm? When did you get hurt? It looks so painful! Yu Weiwei exclaimed.
Its nothing, I just fell on my way home yesterday, quipped Xu Chaomu quickly pulling her sleeve down.
It happened to be the end of class and Lou Yanli arrived at Xu Chaomus classroom doorway. He gestured to Xu Chaomu, indicating for her to come out.
Yu Weiwei also teasingly nudged Xu Chaomu, Your boyfriend is here, go on, hurry up!
Keep it down, Ill be in trouble if someone hears, Xu Chaomu said softly.
Got it, got it, make it quick and come back. The next class is with Master Extinguisher! Yu Weiwei teased.
Xu Chaomu went out of the classroom, and Lou Yanli pulled her aside to a quieter place.
Chaomu, Im really sorry about what happened last night. I had no idea Yao Yue would go find you. Ill figure out a way to clear things up with her, Lou Yanli said earnestly.
Its alright, its no big deal. Ive forgotten about it, why are you still remembering it? Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
Im just worried youve been wronged, Lou Yanli looked at her, is your arm injury better?
I applied some ointment, its fine now. Im as lively as ever! Xu Chaomu showed him her arm, How about you? You got hit yesterday. Did you get hurt?
Thanks for last night.
Im definitely fine, Im just worried about you, Lou Yanli frowned.
When Lou Yanli frowned like that, Xu Chaomu once mistakenly thought it was Shen Chi. Unfortunately, it wasnt. Shen Chi was far from a youthful pretty boy; the word youthful was miles away from him.
She never considered Shen Chi as youthful. Since she knew him, he had always appeared mature and rational.
But wait, hold on.
Why was she thinking of Shen Chi?
Damn, she must be cursed.
Im fine too, you better go back to class. Dont worry about me, really! Xu Chaomu reassured Lou Yanli, enduring her toothache and jumping a few times to put him at ease.
The break was short, and before Lou Yanli could say much, the bell rang for class.
Lou Yanli reluctantly walked towards the classroom while telling her, Take care of yourself and stay away from Yao Yue in the future.
Yeah, you too, take care! Ill take you to the amusement park on the weekend! Xu Chaomu waved goodbye to him.
Lou Yanli watched her return to the classroom before he entered himself.
As soon as Xu Chaomu got back to the classroom, she returned to her somber state, with her toothache twitching painfully.
Bearing the pain, Xu Chaomu asked for leave for one period and went to a phone booth to call Shen Chi.
Shen Chi was in a meeting and didnt pick up the call from the unfamiliar number.
Xu Chaomu, growing impatient, kept calling, but Shen Chi still didnt answer.
Say youre calling because of a toothache, damn liar! Liar! Liar! Xu Chaomu angrily hung up the phone!
Xu Chaomu had no choice but to take a taxi to the hospital, grateful that she had some private money saved. She learned a lesson that day: if a mans words could be trusted, then pigs could climb trees.
With a pitiful face, she waited in line at the hospital and saw a doctor, only to be cut in front of because of her young age.
When she finally saw the doctor, he told her that one of her teeth was decayed and needed to be pulled. If not extracted, it would continue to hurt.
Xu Chaomu was on the verge of tears; why was her luck so bad
Extraction she even found taking medicine torturous, not to mention extraction; it would be unbearable.
Young lady, please think it over, and it would be best to have your parents come to the hospital, the doctor said.
Is there really no way to avoid it? Xu Chaomu was close to pleading with the doctor.
Unfortunately, no, young lady. If its not treated, youll continue to hurt. You know tooth pain isnt easy to endure, right? the doctor gently persuaded her.
I understand, Xu Chaomus face fell.
Let your parents come to the hospital. If possible, arrange it as soon as you can. Once its out, it wont hurt anymore. Dont be afraid; well use anesthesia during the extraction. Its just like a mosquito bite, not painful at all. Xu Chaomu glanced at the dental tools on the table, shivering with fear.
If the doctor was a man, how could she not believe his words!
Moreover, the cries of a little girl resounding from the dental room next door werent helping!
Xu Chaomu hadnt even had her extraction yet, but already her legs were jelly. It was her first time ever seeing so many dense medical instruments, cold and terrifying.
Young lady, what do you think? How about I prescribe some medicine for you, and you can go home and discuss it with your parents? the doctor offered. Xu Chaomu nodded repeatedly, Yes, lets start with the medicine!
Well, take the medicine, but make sure to come back soon for the extraction, or youll be in pain! the doctor warned her.
Xu Chaomu left the consultation room wilted. It was clear: the tooth had to come out
She really feared pain
What if the anesthesia failed, could she die from the pain?
Engrossed in her chaotic thoughts, Xu Chaomu walked back to the Shen Familys house and saw the driver, Lao Cheng, looking around anxiously outside the villa.
Ah, Miss Xu, youre finally back. Where did you go? I went to the school to pick you up, but you werent there, Lao Cheng said worriedly..
