C7 (1/2)

Xu Chencan turned on the faucet in front of the mirror and splashed some water onto his face.

”Phew …”

The cold water eased the burning pain on his face.

After touching a handful of water droplets, she leaned close to the mirror to take a closer look. Fortunately, it was only slightly swollen.

”I can still see him. He'll probably be fine by tomorrow.” He heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Looking at the dark corridor in front of her, she walked straight to the door of a ward. She hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.

The two beds outside fell asleep and went to the far end of the room.

”Grandfather...”

An old man was sleeping on the bed. His face was covered with an oxygen machine, and he was breathing slowly. There were also a variety of red and green wires connecting him to a machine.

I'll make you better.

Xu Chencan stood at the end of the bed and watched quietly for a while, then turned and walked out.

Returning to the duty room, Xue Tianning was sitting in front of a table, writing something down on his laptop. Hearing the sound of his voice, he glanced in Xu ChenCan's direction and asked, ”Where did he go?”

Without waiting for Xu Chencan's reply, he continued, ”A person on leave should not wander around the ward.”

”…” Xu Chencan didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he said, ”I'm going to see Grandfather.”

Xu Chencan's voice was not loud, but it caused Xue Tianning's heart to skip a beat. He raised his head to look at her, only to see her eyes staring at the ground, hiding all her emotions.

Xue Tianning was momentarily at a loss as to what to say. The duty room fell into an awkward silence.

”Your grandfather's condition is relatively stable right now, but he still needs a series of treatments, which is the medical expenses …” It was rare for Xue Tianning to suppress his venomous tongue as he spoke with a straight face.

”I know.” Xu Chencan cut him off, ”I'll find a way to raise the medical fees no matter what. As long as grandfather can recover, I'll do my best.”

She suddenly didn't want to stay in this small duty room any longer. She left behind the words ”I'm going out to take a look” and left the room as if she was escaping.

Xue Tianning looked at her silhouette and sighed silently.

Xu Chencan's mind was in a mess. Although she had confidently told Xue Tianning those words, not even she could believe it.

Suddenly, a handsome and cold man's face appeared in front of his eyes.

”If it's that man …”

If it was him, the high medical expenses would only be a small amount of money in his eyes.
