----------
Sui Yi transferred the money from the bank into her own account and, upon leaving the bank, she saw Ah A.
Leaning against a stone lion with one foot resting on the stone surface, he slouched at an angle, a cigarette dangling from his lips, puffing out smoke like a chimney.
In the eyes of middle-aged people, he was nothing but a little hooligan.
Through the eyes of young girls, however, he was an attractive guy with a decadent air.
"Is there sothing wrong with Elder Lin?"
Besides this, she could find no other reason for him to follow her.
"Can’t I look for you?" Ah A cocked his head and glared at her.
Sui Yi glanced at him and continued walking straight ahead, while Ah A chuckled and followed.
"Treat to a al?"
"The reason?"
"I helped you, right..."
"I rember paying you..."
Sui Yi looked at the advertising screen above Daxia while waiting for the traffic light.
It was broadcasting the news instead.
"A thousand yuan isn’t enough," Ah A stood by her side, his words carrying a hint of ruffian bravado.
Sui Yi turned to look at him, but saw a serious expression on his face. For a mont, she thought he might be after the million yuan.
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
"You think I’m after your million yuan?" Ah A exhaled a plu of smoke.
"A person valued by Elder Lin wouldn’t be such a rascal."
"Rascal?" Ah A laughed, his gaze lightly brushing across Sui Yi’s face as he said with nonchalance, "Well, I am indeed a rascal."
------------
Sui Yi couldn’t prevent Ah A from following her and didn’t have the heart to spend the effort to shake him off. After they arrived at the hospital, he maintained a remarkable quietness, as if he didn’t exist.
After registering and paying.
The pharmacy room.
"It’s you again—got money this ti?" The female physician, twirling the yellowed prescription, glanced at Sui Yi with a hint of scorn in her eyes.
This was quite impolite! It seed she recognized Sui Yi too!
Ah A frowned, about to scold her, but then he heard Sui Yi say indifferently, "Did I not pay for my dicine last ti? Do you need to remind ?"
Her tone was cool and distant, yet her presence was undeniable.
The female physician’s face showed thin anger, glaring at her fiercely, then sneered, "You can’t even afford to stay in the hospital, what’s the point in just taking dicine—sooner or later, you will still..."
This was indeed rude.
Ah A’s face darkened, but he saw Sui Yi gently shaking her head at him.
Hm? She’s just going to let it go?
Ah A gave the female physician a deep look, restrained the fierceness in his eyes, and snorted with laughter.
The female physician finally noticed that Sui Yi hadn’t co alone; there was a young man by her side who looked like he wasn’t to be trifled with. She reined in a bit and, looking at Sui Yi again, sneered, "You really are a social delinquent, aren’t you—"
Following the prescription, there was a large bag filled with things to ingest, drink, and apply—both Western and Chinese dicines were included. He looked at these dicines, the cigarette having lingered in his fingers without being smoked for a long ti until a nurse, her face flushed, ca over to ask him not to smoke, which brought him back to his senses.
When Sui Yi had gone to pay just before, he hadn’t paid much attention; but now it dawned on him that the cost of these dicines was definitely not cheap.
To her, however, buying them was like purchasing cabbages; she didn’t even frown as she swiped her card.
Ah A reached out to carry the bag and asked, "Are you sick?"
With this abruptly cold question, the people lined up behind burst into laughter.
Sui Yi turned to look at him, "Do you need to register as well?"
Well, that really couldn’t be done in passing.
Ah A chuckled lightly, ready to speak...
"We are still missing so dicine," Sui Yi suddenly said to the physician.
"What?" The female physician’s face darkened, her voice becoming sharp as she raised it, "I clearly dispensed it to you, what’s missing?"
Sui Yi remained composed, simply pointing at the list and saying, "Take a closer look for yourself."
The list indicated a quantity of five, but she had only provided one.
"What’s there to look at? How many tis have I dispensed this dication? How could I have missed it? Are you trying to accuse of sothing?"
This female physician had held a grudge against Sui Yi for a long ti. It started off with her simply disliking Sui Yi for no reason, making life difficult for her. But who knew that Sui Yi was too fierce, her cold aggression so terrifying, it left the woman internally wounded.
Having not seen her in a long while, she assud the girl was crushed by life’s hardships, suffering sowhere unknown. Yet today, she saw her looking even more beautiful—her skin, her face, her figure...
Feeling jealous, the desire to cause trouble grew stronger. Previous attempts at creating problems only ended up with her own frustrations; the accumulated anger was enough to fill the air, bursting forth in a single mont!
She was fearless!
Because the situation had changed. She used to be an intern, but now...
Hehe...
The director had slept at her place last night...
The people in line were startled, and comparing the two, ordinary folks naturally wouldn’t dare to offend hospital staff, so they began to criticize Sui Yi one after another.
However, a few people did speak up for justice, but their words were quickly drowned out by the crowd...
"What’s all this commotion!" Suddenly, a stern voice rang out!
Everyone turned to look and saw a man in a white lab coat looking over sternly, his expression quite grim, followed by a group of people in white lab coats, seemingly accompanying another man.
Sui Yi glanced over and was montarily startled.
"Sorry, Doctor Jiang, it’s embarrassing for you to see this... Why don’t we go sowhere else to take a look..." A middle-aged man said apologetically to the handso young man who stood out from the crowd, his voice gentle and soft. He was the dean of the hospital—whom else could reduce him to such deference?
The handso man simply looked surprised as he glanced towards the window here and then spoke directly to the dean, "Sorry, I’ve run into a friend of mine..."
With that, he stepped forward, a smile spreading across his face.
Who was Jiang Yunxiu?
He was in the sa league as Yi Chilian, one of those who stood out from the masses. Barely in his early twenties, he epitomized youthful achievent. As he approached, he sparked surprise among many.
Especially among won, who looked at him with shining eyes.
Even more surprising was that he walked straight up to Sui Yi, smiling familiarly, "Sui Yi, I never expected to see you here."
"I didn’t expect to either," Sui Yi glanced at the deans and directors from Nanxun Hospital trailing behind him...
"Are you on official business?" She knew he was from out of town and figured that a small hospital like this couldn’t accommodate soone of his standing, or else the deans wouldn’t be so eager to please him.
"Yeah... Here for an inspection... By the way, what about you?"
As Jiang Yunxiu spoke, he glanced at Ah A, standing next to Sui Yi with the dicine.
Locking eyes with him, Ah A’s brows knit together, his expression growing more solemn.
"Are you sick?" Jiang Yunxiu asked as well.
Sui Yi’s brow twitched.
Is this how the young people of today greet each other?
At that mont, the dean, who was perceptive, took note of Sui Yi’s familiarity with Jiang Yun and coldly turned his gaze towards the female physician.
The color drained from the female physician’s face.
------
A mont later, in a corner, Jiang Yunxiu was already examining an old prescription, his brow furrowed as he looked at it... After a long while, he said, "Is your grandmother’s condition motor neuron weakness, with occasional inability to hold onto things, frequent severe headaches, and leg joint spasms like needle pricks..."
"Yes," Sui Yi nodded, pointing to the dication on the list, "It’s diagnosed as Delorsen’s Syndro, the bone marrow is aging, and she must have these dications to slow it down... but there is no cure."
No cure ant an endless cycle of dication and pain.
After saying this, Sui Yi fell silent.
Jiang Yunxiu watched her for a mont, then said, "May I see your grandmother?"
