Gu Nuan gazed distantly at the figure appearing at the end of the corridor and sighed inwardly: Caught!
He really ca, so obviously tricked by her.
This instead made her suddenly feel quite embarrassed.
She would explain properly afterwards, Gu Nuan thought. If he had an upright heart like Gu Sheng’s, he would surely understand and be willing to lend a hand.
Ou Yanan walked toward her, and when he reached her without her saying a word, turned to the left and saw Fang Yongxing in the hospital bed, his face pale and bluish with pain.
After a second’s hesitation, he entered the ward.
After Gu Nuan followed him in, she closed the door first.
Sister Yao looked in surprise at the strange man who entered and asked, "Who is this?"
"Doctor Ou, a doctor from this hospital," Gu Nuan introduced.
Hearing he was a doctor, Sister Yao imdiately made space, not even bothering to ask Gu Nuan about the specifics. Because Fang Yongxing was nearly fainting from the pain.
Ou Yanan walked to the bedside, pressed a few tis on Fang Yongxing’s painful abdon, and asked, "Did you eat anything?"
Fang Yongxing, in so much pain he could hardly see who it was, said, "I had lunch, and then nothing after that."
"What kind of food?"
"The hospital-provided als, vegetables, fish, shredded pork and mushrooms—"
Thud, thud, thud, footsteps ca from the corridor; at this mont, the ward’s nurse finally arrived.
"Doctor Ou?" The arriving nurse showed a surprised expression.
He had worked in the orthopedics departnt here before, so the nurses recognized him.
"He has acute colitis, give him an injection to stop the pain first, and take so blood to check the indicators. If the pain continues, he might need to undergo an abdominal CT. Let the on-call doctor here know," he said.
"Yes, sure," the nurse didn’t doubt him at all and imdiately ran off to carry out his orders.
Ou Yanan followed suit and went out; after all, Fang Yongxing wasn’t his patient. Even if he hurried to help out first, he needed to notify the local doctor.
Soon, the nurse brought over a treatnt tray and gave Fang Yongxing an IV injection, which was said to be the fastest-acting.
Sister Yao only felt her heart racing as she watched everything unfold.
If Gu Nuan hadn’t tily found a doctor, she didn’t dare imagine what would have happened to Fang Yongxing.
After the injection, Fang Yongxing’s expression significantly relaxed.
Gu Nuan asked Sister Yao to continue caring for the patient while she went out to inquire about the situation.
All the way to the nurse station, she saw him standing at the counter, writing on a dical record with a fountain pen. After all, it was he who had the needle administered, and he needed to take responsibility for the prescription himself.
After finishing, he signed his na and handed it over.
The on-call doctor here, a short male doctor probably about the sa age as Ou Yanan, took the dical record and teased, "Don’t bla , Doctor Ou, I couldn’t help it; the nurses like you, and they went to give an injection as soon as you spoke."
"I understand," Ou Yanan said, his face almost devoid of expression.
Hearing this exchange between the two of them, Gu Nuan felt a silent tug at her heart. Regardless of whether he was Gu Sheng or not, one thing was certain: she owed him a great debt.
Fearing she might cause him further trouble, Gu Nuan walked away first, avoiding letting others misinterpret their relationship. There were certainly more than a few informants in the hospital.
Therefore, Gu Nuan exited the ward corridor first, planning to find a place to wait for him to co over.
It was evening, and there were many visiting family mbers. The hospital was bustling with people everywhere.
Precisely for this reason, being soone whose hearing was slightly worse than others’, in the mix of noises, her ability to discern was even lower. She didn’t notice the footsteps behind her at all.
Suddenly, two hands grasped her arms and pulled her backward. Gu Nuan struggled but didn’t maintain her balance. With several people exerting great force, she was quickly dragged down a side hallway.
Because there were so many people, each passing by, no one noticed the sudden disturbance.
Within a few steps and seconds, Gu Nuan abruptly fell into a corner. She hadn’t had ti to clearly see the assailants’ faces to call out. Gathering her wits, she looked up to see several young girls’ faces above her head.
A thought flashed through Gu Nuan’s mind: Was it Su Yixia who sent them?
It seed there was no need to doubt it because these girls all looked like school students. And who else could commit such an act but Su Yixia, who had just left school?
As Gu Nuan was about to stand up against the wall, the girls rushed over, pushing her back again, ready to start beating and kicking. Gu Nuan had to curl up to protect her head and stomach first.
"What are you doing?!" A sudden, loud shout ca from the left corridor.
The girls turned their heads, and upon realizing they had been spotted, they imdiately ran off. One, in her panic, ran the wrong way, heading to the left. As she turned to run, Ou Yanan was the first to grab her arm.
The girl, becoming frantic, pulled out a knife from her pocket.
"Xiaosheng—" Gu Nuan jumped up and lunged at the girl’s knife-wielding hand.
