Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: The Truth Will Still Lead to Death (1/2)

Xiao Yu laid back on the bed with complex feelings.

Although Old Wu just provided him with a bunch of conspiracy theories, at least he had confirmed another fact, which was a good thing –

Yan Jin did own a hamster.

More accurately, perhaps he was Yan Jin’s pet for the past eight months.

Back then, he had been reborn into a hamster. Now that he was back, did that hamster die from the car accident?

To be honest, its lifespan was nearing towards the end anyway, and such a departure wasn’t too upsetting.

Xiao Yu imagined what would have happened if there was no accident. He probably would pass away in front of Yan Jin’s eyes a few months later when his time was up. Such a scene might be worse than how it was now for Yan Jin.

Probably.

Xiao Yu naively hoped that whatever happened to Yan Jin would not be as bad as it could be.

…… He should leave, just like that.

At the very last moment, he did not even manage to say goodbye.

Xiao Yu buried his head into the blanket.

Urgghhh, this is so frustrating. Just one more second and I would have revealed my identity.

Just one more second.

One second more…

“Didn’t you that say he was awake?”

The familiar voice stopped his train of thought.

Xiao Yu pushed his blanket down immediately and revealed his face.

That familiar face appeared right before his eyes.

There was a difference between his vision as a hamster and as a human. For example, he no longer needed to tilt his head up to look at everything and his vision was much clearer.

From direct observation, Xiao Yu thought that Chu Ge’s face was much more annoying than what he looked like during his hamster life.

“Yo. You recovered quite well.”

Chu Ge took half a step back and looked at Xiao Yu from head to toe. “That should be all. He’s fine. He can get lost now.”

“How could you say that?” Even though Xiao Yu knew Chu Ge personally, to be treated with such an attitude made him pissed.

“How should I say it then?” Chu Ge snorted coldly, “Do you know where this place is? Do you know the cost incurred per day of admission? For a person like you to enter a place like this, you probably owe it to your previous life’s good fortune.”

Xiao Yu never knew that Chu Ge’s words could be so vicious. When he heard the doctor say that, he almost couldn’t hold back from jumping to his feet and punching him in the face.

“Ayyy, Little Xiao, Little Xiao, we’re in the hospital, spare me some face yeah?” Old Wu noticed that the situation was turning bad, so he quickly intervened. A good old man for decades was not for show, it was his forte to mediate a quarrel.

“Oh, you even want to hit me? Come on then.” Chu Ge swayed with the clipboard in his hand, “You don’t even have to worry if things go wrong. There’s me after all. Even if you turn into a vegetative state, I can still bring you back.”

This hospital was in good condition, and it had good facilities. Even the clipboard for patients’ records was not the typical wooden board but made out of metallic material instead. Chu Ge’s hand raised it so carelessly that it looked as cold as frost.

At this point, Xiao Yu finally calmed down.

No matter what he said, that was too much of an exaggeration.

“What is this place? Isn’t this a hospital?” Xiao Yu turned his gaze toward Old Wu.

“Yep, this is a hospital. It’s that number one private hospital in S City,” Old Wu replied.

Xiao Yu didn’t have to think much to understand that of course it had to be the number one private hospital. Chu Ge was a doctor at this place after all.

“Then why can’t I be here?”

“We are in the special ward. The cost per day is about three hundred thousand and must be booked two years in advance.” Chu Ge answered his question.

For a short moment, Xiao Yu wasn’t sure if he should be ridiculing the three hundred thousand cost or the two years in advance booking.

“Then how did I get in here? Was I not unconscious all this while?” Xiao Yu was truly stunned by the astonishing price.

“This place was not prepared for you initially. But god knows why the big shot from this ward destroyed our equipment and demanded to be discharged from this hospital. Coincidentally, our normal wards were fully occupied. So, we had no choice but to transfer you here after your surgery.”

“We just tidied the room yesterday and today it’s in a mess again.” Chu Ge pointed at the mess by Xiao Yu’s feet.

Xiao Yu: “……”

The apology was stuck in his throat, it did not move out nor did he swallow it back down.

“What type of surgery did you do? There isn’t a single scar on my body.” Xiao Yu’s voice was starting to weaken.

“First aid for drowning.”

“Hah?”

“You did not have any external injuries, but you were in the water for too long. You weren’t breathing anymore by the time you got here. My boss insisted to make me save you, so I let the nurse try.” Chu Ge paused before he continued, “Artificial respiration.”

Xiao Yu: “……”

The number of times he was left speechless in this one day was record-breaking.

“I wonder why I didn’t let you die just like that.” Chu Ge raised that metallic clipboard once again, “It’s not too late now. Want to let me correct my mistake?”

Xiao Yu: “Where are your medical ethics?”

“Medical ethics? You almost killed my friend and yet you’re talking about medical ethics?” Chu Ge’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
