614 Its Settled! (1/2)

”Why? What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well these days? Why didn't you say so earlier? We'll go to the hospital right now! Let me arrange the doctors. No, we can just call everyone at home as well.”

Xiu pressed her lips together with a complicated feeling as she saw Xin Zimen's frantic state of mind. He was so reluctant to visit the doctor just a minute ago but now, he was even willing to call the best team of doctors at home! She really thought he was overreacting but she loved it.

”It's almost midnight!” Xiu pointed out.

”So? Do you think I can't arrange the best treatment at this time?”

Xiu patted his hand saying, ”I don't doubt it. But right now, I'm very sleepy. Besides, nothing is wrong with me. It's just a regular health check-up.” Xiu had to lie right through her teeth. What regular check-up? She couldn't even remember when was the last time she visited a doctor on her own will! If she could, she'd maintain a good distance between herself and hospitals.

Xin Zimen wasn't convinced as he frowned at her, ”If it's just a regular check-up, then how come you are insisting on taking me with you?”

Xiu shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she gathered the empty bowls and stood up saying, ”That's because I don't want to go for the check-up alone. If you're there as well, I'll feel better.”

”How will that make you feel better?” Xin Zimen was perplexed.

Xiu grinned slyly, ”That way, I'll have someone to share my grievance with. It's just like sharing is caring. When you share your happiness, it doubles. When you share your pain, it lessens!”

Xin Zimen eyed Darren who pretended to not listen to their conversation at all. At the moment, his main concern was convincing Xiu for a check-up and if she was willing to go on her own with Xin Zimen, he had no say in it. The end result he wanted was that she goes to the hospital. How or with who didn't really matter.

Xin Zimen contemplated his options and seeing her back as she busied herself with washing the dishes, he was left even more confused. But in the end, he couldn't help taking out his phone to dial a number. ”Brother Kuan, help me out a little.”

”It's midnight, Xiao Zi,” Brother Kuan who was sleeping in the same house was really pissed off at being woken up at this time of the night. But he couldn't do or say anything excessive. ”Whatever. Tell me what's wrong?”

”Contact the hospital and ask them to get their best team on standby tomorrow morning.”

Brother Kuan was immediately on alert mode, ”What for?”

”I'm going for a health check-up!”

Brother Kuan was stumped for words as his eyes widened, ”I just met you two hours ago... How did your mind change so soon?”

”None of your concern, please just do as I said.” With that, Xin Zimen hung up the call and looked up at Xiu who was wiping her hands.
