Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 700

Chapter 700: Pleasant Surprise ( 1 )
After the villagers and their children left, Wang Muxiao walked to her daughter and Shitou. Seeing the boy standing there with his head lowered, she gently rubbed his head and said, “Li Heng, don’t be afraid. You are not your mother, and you will not become a bad person.”

This was the first time Shitou heard someone calling his name beside his late Grandpa. He raised his head and saw Wang Muxiao smiling at him. Looking into her eyes, he felt that she really regarded him as her own, not someone else’s son.

“Second aunt Lu, do you hate me because of my mother?” Shitou asked.

“Why should I hate you?” Wang Muxiao asked him.

Shitou was stunned by her words and had nothing to say.

Seeing his confused look, Wang Muxiao chuckled and said, “Look, there’s nothing that can make me hate you. So, what are you afraid of?”

Lu Wenfeng listened to her mother’s words, nodded, and said, “Brother Shitou, Xiao Feng will share my mother with you. You are also a child with a mother. So, don’t be sad, okay?”

Hearing her words, Shitou suddenly started crying, which startled Wang Muxiao. She hugged him quickly and said, “It’s okay, just cry it out. You will feel better after crying.”

After a while, Shitou finally calmed down and Wang Muxiao asked, “How about we make some steamed eggs together? Our hen just laid two eggs this morning.”

Shitou nodded, walked into the house, and said, “Second aunt Lu, I want to help you make steamed eggs.”

“Sure,” Wang Muxiao agreed readily.

At the same time, Han Yuluo finally arrived at the county hospital. He walked to the registration counter and asked, “Hello, comrade. May I ask where the ward of the patient named Han Liling was?”

Upon hearing his question, a nurse looked at him and said, “Comrade, please wait a moment.”

After checking the data, the nurse looked at him and said, “Comrade, you need permission from the attending doctor to visit the patient. Her attending doctor is Doctor Yu and his office is on the second floor.”

“Thank you, comrade.” Han Yuluo nodded and walked to the second floor.

It didn’t take long for him to find Doctor Yu’s office. Since the consultation time has passed, there are no patients waiting outside the office.

So, he knocked on the door and heard a young man’s voice coming from inside, “Please come in.”

Opening the door, Han Yuluo walked into the office and said, “Hello, doctor.”

Looking up, Doctor Yu found that the man in front of him was similar to Han Liling’s father. He smiled and said to him, “Comrade, please have a seat.”

After Han Yuluo sat down, Doctor Yu asked, “Comrade, are you Han Liling’s uncle?”

“Doctor, how do you know?” Han Yuluo asked in surprise.

Doctor Yu closed the document he was reading and said, “I heard about you from her mother. She has been waiting for you. Now that you are here, please come with me.”

When walking to Han Liling’s ward, Han Yuluo asked, “Doctor, how is my niece’s condition?”

Hearing his question, Doctor Yu explained, “Her leg will need at least half a year to a year of therapy, and she will need to take medicine for three months to six months to fully recover. Except for the injury to her left leg, the patient’s physical condition is fine.”

Han Yuluo noticed his tone and asked, “Doctor, is there something wrong with my niece?”

After thinking for a moment, Doctor Yu said, “Due to some trauma, the patient has lost the ability to speak and her mental state is unstable. If she thinks of her parents, she will have a panic attack. So, when you are with her, try not to mention her parents.”

Hearing her words, Han Yuluo was shocked. He guessed that his niece’s condition was bad, but he didn’t expect it to be so bad.

‘What actually happened to her?’ he thought.

When they arrived at the ward, Doctor Yu knocked on the door before walking in. Seeing her drinking a glass of honey water, he asked, “Liling, have you finished your lunch?”

Han Liling turned her head when she heard his voice and nodded. The next moment, when she saw her uncle behind the doctor, her eyes widened in surprise.

Doctor Yu saw her happy look and said, “Look who comes to see you.”

Han Liling stretched out her hand, smiled, and said, “Ah! Ahhh…ahhh!”

Seeing his niece’s appearance and hearing the strange sound coming from her throat, Han Yuluo felt as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat. His eyes turned red, he let go of the bamboo suitcase in hand and strode towards her.

He bent down, hugged her niece, and said, “Liling, don’t be afraid. Uncle is here and everything will be fine.”

At first, Han Liling was very happy to see her uncle. But after hearing his words, she suddenly went stiff before she finally burst into tears. All the suppressed frustration, anger, and fear finally found an outlet. She also had someone she could rely on now.

Han Yuluo patted her back gently and said in a hoarse voice, “Liling, I’m sorry for coming late. Everything will be fine now, Uncle promises you.”

Han Liling nodded, clutched her uncle’s clothes tightly, and cried, “Un…cle…”

Doctor Yu was stunned when he heard this. He knows that psychological problems are not easily cured and require long-term treatment to see results. So when he heard the patient utter a word, even though it was just a broken word, he was surprised and happy for her.

After both of them calmed down, Doctor Yu said with a smile, “Liling, your uncle is here now. Eat well and take your medicine on time so that you can get well soon, okay?”

Han Liling nodded, smiled, and made an ‘okay’ gesture.

Seeing her like this, Han Yuluo patted her head and said, “Liling, uncle will go and chat with the doctor for a while.”
