Chapter 76 - Good night (1/2)
Good Night
Wang Ming wasn't sure at first, but later on he realized that Lang Lin was most likely drugged. He didn't know by what, but some kind of drug had to have done this, Wang Ming couldn't believe that someone would get into this state by only a single drink, it wasn't even a strong one. This wasn't the first time that Lang Lin had drunk alcohol either, so it made little sense. So he would take her to the hospital to get her checked out.
The taxi driver wanted Wang Ming to seat belt, but seeing Lang Lin hugging him like a koala he gave up, there was no way for the belt to reach over them both.
”Please drive the fastest route to the hospital. I'll pay extra if there are any extra costs.”
”Don't worry Mr. I'll get you there as soon as possible. I can't drive over the speed limit since the police stopped me a few days ago. I'm sorry for that, if you want you can take another taxi that can get you there faster. I'm Su Huiliang [1], just call me Hui.”
”I see you live up to your name. Don't worry Hui, just drive within the boundary of the law. I think someone drugged my friend here, but she has a stable breath so just take it easy. I'm Wang Ming.”
Looking at Lang Lin's face, Wang Ming just smiled. He had never seen her face so at ease before, looking closely at her face. He could see dark patches underneath her eyes, which made him sad. It seemed like Lang Lin also led a stressful life with a scant amount of sleep. She tried to hide it with her makeup, but since Wang Ming was so close to her, he could see it.
This made Wang Ming cherish Lang Lin more. He didn't want a woman that couldn't do anything else than being a trophy wife. He needed someone that would pull their own weight, having their own dreams and ambitions. Though he didn't value it in money as long as she does something she enjoys doing, she can earn 0 yuan a month, he would still support her.
Wang Ming didn't want to do it, but seeing her adorable face, he lowered his face to hers and kissed her on the forehead. Even though a kiss on the forehead for most people isn't a big deal, Wang Ming thought it was wrong to do something like this especially not when she can't consent.
”Wang Ming, we've arrived. The bill is 60 yuan but, I'll take a clean 50 from you.”
”Thank you, Hui, but it's unnecessary. I told you I would give you a bonus to get us here fast, and you did. I didn't even notice that we were here already please take this.”
Giving Hui two hundred yuan, Wang Ming then carried Lang Lin out of the taxi, being careful so that her head didn't hit the door.
Wang Ming didn't like to waste money, but he had no qualms in helping other people, especially workers. Su Huiliang had been kind to him, so Wang Ming wanted to help him out as much as possible.
Nodding at Su Huiliang, Wang Ming carried Lang Lin into the hospital, even though it was fairly late at 10pm the hospital was still open. Though most doctors and nurses had gone home already, leaving only people on night shift, which is fewer than on the mornings. Walking up to the receptionist, Wang Ming asked.
”Please, could you get a doctor to look at my friend? I think someone drugged her. She's been nonresponsive to me like her mind shut down. She can't stand straight or do anything by herself.”
Usually with these types of enquiry, she would just let them sit and wait until a doctor is ready, but seeing Wang Ming's great concern to his girlfriend. She let him go directly to a doctor. The receptionist wished that one day she could also get such a manly boyfriend as Wang Ming.
”Please, just walk up the stairs to the right. There should be a door that says Dr. Wong on the door tell him that, Dongmei sent you.”
Almost screaming thank you at Dongmei, Wang Ming hurriedly ran up the stairs with Lang Lin in his arms. Seeing the door she had talked about, Wang Ming knocked on it.
”Who is it?”
”I have a patient. Dongmei sent me!”
Wang Ming waited for 10 seconds but couldn't hear anything anymore, didn't the man want to treat Lang Lin? But he then heard a loud sigh behind the door before it opened, which revealed a man in his forties. He had round glasses looked like he took care of his body enough that he wasn't fat but Wang Ming would consider him chubby.
