11 Who Is This Childs Father? (1/2)
In the Radiology department.
Little 4th sat in a chair next to Qin Jie.
He looked utterly adorable in his little hospital gown that was too big for him.
The radiographer asked Qin Jie various questions about Little 4th's health.
Once the radiographer was finished he left.
Qin Jie looked at the little bun curiously: ”Little 4th, why did you answer questions for Dr. Li but ignore the radiographer?”
Little 4th spoke with certainty: ”Because she's going to be my sister from now on.”
Qin Jie ”...”
Little 4th wanted the dishevelled frog to be his sister?
In the not so distant future, Qin Jie would look back at this moment and wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at how accurate little 4th's words proved to be. But that's a story for another time.
Little 4th had his scan done.
He stayed in his gown as Qin Jie picked him up and carried him back to the room.
....
Qin Jie opened the room door to see chaos.
Dr. Fu Meng and Dr. Cheng Wu were lying on the floor in tiny pools of blood. Director Bing was rocking himself back and forth in a chair sobbing and muttering ”I didn't know.”
Little 4th eyes went wide in shock.
Qin Jie: ”What's going on?” He asked no-one in particular.
Li Xiuying: ”They fainted.”
Three black lines appeared on Qin Jie's forehead. 'That wasn't what I was asking!'
He looked to his twin who looked at him.
Qin Jie read his Qin Xian Jun's eyes ”I'll tell you later.”
They always could understand each other, even without speaking. It was their weird Twin ESP.
Li Xiuying went over to the computer on the side. She pulled up Qin Zhen's Scans.
Li Xiuying faced the Qin's: ”He has appendicitis, I propose doing surgery - a laparoscopic appendectomy. I think his past abdominal pain was also due to appendicitis but it presented atypically and resolved by itself hence is was missed.”
Li Xiuying ”Two has already prepped the theater. I'll just need his parent or legal guardian to sign the consent form.”
Qin Song coldly said: ”Thank you for all you have done. But how can we trust you with Little 4th's life?”
Li Xiuying frowned. She walked over to her rucksack and pulled out a stack of papers and an ID badge. She handed her ID badge and her certificate of qualification for pediatric surgery.
Qin Song looked at the ID badge and the certificate. He then peered over to the stack of paper in Li Xiuying's hands. They were all certificates for various specialties. He was stunned.
Qin Song was currently standing like a statue in front of Li Xiuying. She carefully took back her things from Qin Song without touching him.
She put her things back in her bag.
Li Xiuying: ”As I was saying I'll need consent for the procedure.”
Li Xiuying turned to Qin Song. ”Are you Qin Zhen's father?”
Qin Song finally returned to being a human. He frowned at her question.
She turned to Qin Zhen who was seated once again in his bed with Qin Jie and Qin Xian Jun on either side.
She pointed at Qin song:” Is he not your father?”
Qin zhen shook his head.
Li Xiuying then pointed to both the twins: ” Are either of them your father?”
Qin Zhen shook his head once again.
Li Xiuying shook her head. 'Why was no one here this child's father?'
Elder Qin cleared his throat.
