Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Promise to A Little Friend
Li Chenmo took his wife into his arms and said, “Whether it’s genuine affection or an act, it has nothing to do with us. As long as we live our own lives well, that’s enough. There’s no need to care about irrelevant people’s matters.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu sighed and said, “I just pity the little girl. She is still so young, but her leg has been injured to this extent. She may be disabled from that injury.”

“Wife, you have saved her life and that’s enough. It’s not worth endangering your own safety to prevent her from becoming disabled. With our current medical technology, whether such an injury can be fully recovered is hard to say. If she fully recovered, doubts would be raised. If anyone investigates, they might discover your secret.”

Seeing her husband’s worried look, she smiled and said to him, “Husband, don’t worry, I won’t put myself in danger again. I only gave her two sips of tonic wine and applied some ointment to stop the bleeding.”

Li Chenmo knew that his wife used to put the safety of others above her own safety. In his opinion, this was a stupid decision. But if it weren’t for her kindness, he might have died young and never met her in his previous life. Therefore, he could only keep reminding her to be careful and try his best to protect her.

Looking at his wife’s smile, he leaned over to kissed the tip of her nose, and said, “Remember, you are not alone now. You have me and the children, so be careful in everything you do.”

“En, I know.” Lu Jueyu said and kissed her husband’s chin.

After locking the door, the two walked to the backyard. When Li Chenmo went to the pig pen, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

In the county hospital, Song Yan checked the patients in the general ward and then went to see Li Shu’s condition. When the nurses saw him coming, they all smiled at him, and one of them said, “Good morning, Doctor Song. Are you on the night shift again?”

Song Yan smiled at them and said, “Good morning. Mhmm, I took over Doctor Gu’s shift. How is my little patient’s condition?”

Hearing his question, the nurse took out a folder and handed it to him, while saying, “The patient is in stable condition, but there is no sign of waking up yet.”

After reading the data, Song Yan nodded, “Thank you for your hard work.”

The nurse smiled sweetly at him and said, “Doctor Song, this is our job.”

After returning the folder to the nurse, Song Yan walked into the ICU ward wearing a medical gown, mask, and gloves. He walked to the bedside to check on Li Shu’s condition. After that, he stood at the bedside and looked at her swollen face.

The girl was only twelve years old, but she had suffered such injuries that it made him wonder what her family was like and how her childhood was. When his eyes fell on her hands, he saw several bruises on her arms and fingers. Just by looking at the scars, he knew the girl was being abused on a daily basis.

He came closer, held her hand, and said softly, “Little friend, your father and grandmother are waiting for you. So, you shouldn’t sleep for too long, okay?”

After saying that, he was silent for a while and then said, “When you wake up, I will buy you a bowl of delicious wonton soup.”

Seeing that Li Shu didn’t respond, he sighed, feeling that something was wrong with him. He knew that he treated her differently because of his teacher. But more than that, he genuinely felt pity for the little girl in his heart.

Song Yan shook his head, tidied up Li Shu’s quilt, and left the intensive care unit. Shortly after he left, Li Shu’s fingers twitched slightly as if responding to his words.

After taking off his medical gown, gloves, and mask, he left the ICU ward. As he walked toward his office, he was startled when he saw his teacher sleeping on the corridor’s bench.

It was normal for patients’ family members to stay overnight in the hospital and sleep on the bench, but this was the first time he saw his teacher doing such a thing for unrelated people. His teacher was an awkward man who rarely showed affection to his family, students, or close friends.

His teacher was so worried that he was willing to sleep in the corridor, which showed that the girl’s status in his teacher’s heart was not simple. It seems that his guess may be right.

Looking at his teacher’s haggard face and white hair, he sighed and walked towards them. Song Yan squatted in front of his teacher and called him softly, “Teacher.”

Seeing that his teacher was still sleeping soundly, he nudged at his teacher’s arm and called again, “Teacher.”

This time, Doctor Xie slowly opened his eyelids and his unfocused gaze fell on Song Yan’s face. Seeing him, he asked, “Xiao Yan, has something happened to Da Niu?”

“Teacher, Li Shu is doing very well. Her condition has stabilized, but it will take two or three days for her to wake up.” Song Yan explained in a low voice.

After reading Li Shu’s data, Doctor Xie knew that his student had been keeping the fact that if Li Shu didn’t wake up after three days, she might become a vegetative patient. But he believed in her will to live, so he said nothing.

Seeing that his student had heavy dark circles under his eyes, Doctor Xie said, “Even if you work the night shift, you should take a nap when you have free time.”

After hearing what he said, Song Yan nodded and said, “Teacher, I understand.”

“Teacher, if you are going to stay in the hospital overnight, you can sleep in the waiting room or my office. There are blankets and beds there,” he added.
