132 Zhao Mengqi hospitalized (2/2)
It was a lady's voice!
”I'm, who's this?” Xiao Luo asked softly.
”Come quickly to the city affiliated hospital, Mengqi's hospitalized.” The woman said anxiously.
Zhao Mengqi?!
Xiao Luo frowned, and said with a cynical smile, ”You got the wrong guy, right?”
He was about to hang up.
”Don't hang up, Mengqi's seriously ill, and the doctor said she might not make it. She's in a coma now and keeps crying your name. I only found your number by checking the contact list on her phone. Please come quickly.” The woman on the other end of the line was anxious. She almost sounded like she was in tears.
Xiao Luo stayed silent for a while.
”What's the room number?”
Xiao Luo was not a heartless person. Even if he was not in a relationship with Zhao Mengqi, he could not change the fact that they used to be college mates. She was now critically ill and in a coma, and it would be against his nature not to pay a visit.
”ICU, Room 306!”
After being informed of Zhao Mengqi's whereabouts, Xiao Luo hung up, and he was speechless. I would not have happened if he had not given his number to Zhao Mengqit so quickly, even if it was unintentional. It was now impossible for him to ignore that Zhao Mengqi was critically ill and in a coma.
”Is there a situation, big boss?” Luo Qi asked.
”A friend's been hospitalized.”
Xiao Luo did not lie to her as there was nothing to hide. Zhao Mengqi was but one of many who had come into his life and would not be the last. It was time to cut her off completely. He did not want her to make contact again in the future.
”You go back to the office first. I'll take a look.”
”Remember to get a bouquet. That's the proper thing to do when visiting patients.” Luo Qi reminded.
”What kind of flowers are suitable?”
Xiao Luo was not very familiar with such matters.
”Bringing flowers when visiting someone in a hospital is meant to cheer them up. It shows care and concern, a wish for them to be safe, and to get well soon. You should choose flowers that are elegant, brightly colored, and fragrant, such as calamus, orchids, kumquats, Peruvian lilies, roses, carnations.”.. Luo Qi rattled off the list with ease.
Xiao Luo felt that it was a little too complicated, ”Never mind, I'll go empty-handed.”
Besides, he was just visiting for a while and didn't want to over-complicate a simple visit.
He arrived at the city-affiliated public hospital by taxi.
Xiao Luo headed directly to ICU room 306 and knocked on the door lightly.
A woman appeared at the door, her face framed in wavy hair. She asked, in anticipation, ”Are you Xiao Luo?”
Her concerned eyes brightened up when she saw Xiao Luo at the door.
Xiao Luo nodded and entered the room. There he saw Zhao Mengqi lying on the hospital bed. She had an oxygen mask over her nose and mouth. She looked pale, so unlike the raving beauty he remembered,
”What happened to her?” He asked in a detached tone as if speaking to a stranger.
”It's acute appendicitis. The doctor said her appendix was ruptured. It's life-threatening. She has just undergone emergency surgery, and her condition is stable for now. But the follow-up treatment still requires about seventy to eighty thousand.” The woman with the wavy hair replied urgently. She appeared edgy and stressed.
”What about Hua Haifeng, her boyfriend?”
” He broke up with her when she fell ill. He even called to tell her it's better to die, as he wouldn't be paying a penny for her treatment.” The woman said, biting her lips in anger.
Xiao Luo shook his head and sneered. Hearing about what a douchebag Hua Haifeng was infuriated him.
