65 Her Vulnerable Side (2/2)
”Of course I care.” If you are sick, who is going to do the work?
Jiang Chen always believed in being a leader who only asked others to do things. If she was sick, why would he not be worried?
There may be other reasons, but he still hasn't figured them out.
But Xia Shiyu seemed to have interpreted it as something else, silence ensued again.
Maybe it was the fever, but her face was abnormally red.
They soon arrived at the nearest hospital. Jiang Chen parked the car and immediately ran to the other side to open the door. But when he was about the use the same gesture to carry Xia Shiyu, she stopped him.
”I can walk by myself. You don’t need to help me. That way is too embarrassing.” Xia Shiyu’s faintly squeezed the last few words out of her mouth. The usually expressionless face now turned blood red. Jiang Chen was stunned by her beauty.
Under Jiang Chen’s intense stare, Xia Shiyu felt embarrassed but somewhat proud?
After she had given him a dirty look, Xia Shiyu dragged her heavy footsteps towards the hospital.
But how could he not worry about her ”floaty” footsteps, she walked like this? She would probably get hurt before she even went into the hospital to see why she was sick.
Jiang Chen walked beside her and held onto the stubborn girl.
Although she fought back a little, Xia Shiyu knew her exact condition, so she didn’t stop Jing Chen. She lowered her head and hid her unnatural expression beneath her hair.
The nurse on duty saw Xia Shiyu’s condition and immediately walked up to help. Jiang Chen left Xia Shiyu with the nurse and went to the front desk to fill out the paperwork. It would be up to the doctors now as he knew nothing about medicine.
To be honest, he was anxious about Xia Shiyu’s condition. It didn’t look like an ordinary fever or cold. Maybe because she fell ill because of all the work he piled onto her? Jiang Chen felt guilty about this.
Especially when they were buying the house, she was already feeling a bit sick. But he didn’t immediately bring her to the hospital. Instead, he was having fun…
[Maybe it’s time to control myself?]
With his arm pressed against his knee, he wandered into deep thought.
Although worried, it would be useless to just wait around. He sat on the hospital chair, feeling bored before he took out his phone.
He checked his Wechat to see that Liu Yao had sent him a message. For the energetic third-tier actress, Jiang Chen was happy to chat with her. If he was freer, he didn’t mind hooking up. But he has been too busy recently, so he rejected the rather straightforward invitation.
The movie he promised her would happen since money was not an issue anymore.
To be truthful, it was fun chatting with this girl. His guilt and anxiety quickly faded, as a smile appeared on his face. Time passed by quickly on the phone.
”Hello, sir, are you Miss Xia Shiyu’s husband?” A doctor pushed opened the door and approached Jiang Chen.
”No, I am her… umm, friend.” Jiang Chen put his phone back and stood up.
”Miss Xia Shiyu only had a normal fever, but it was untreated for too long, so the condition is a bit serious now. I recommend you go to the front desk and register her stay at the hospital.” The doctor cut straight to the point and handed the bill to Jiang Chen, motioning him to go to the designated window.
The doctor’s casual attitude made Jiang Chen raise his eyebrow, but he didn’t say anything. He carried the bill and paid the fee, which was a total of one thousand dollars. He forced a smile as he thought, ordinary people would not be able to afford this. Minor or major, staying at the hospital was necessary, as was using the most expensive medicine. Do you want a problem? Are you going to see the doctor? Since there are so many people here, there’s never a shortage of patient.
Compared to real estate, the demand for education and healthcare was more steady and reliable. If they really wanted to turn the public sector into a private business sector, the potential gain would be greater than the real estate industry.
Though of course, now money meant nothing to Jiang Chen.
He then walked into the ward, grabbed a chair, and sat beside Xia Shiyu’s bed.
”Sorry for troubling you.” Xia Shiyu’s eyes were half closed as she squeezed a sentence through her lips.
”No problem. Taking care of the staff is the responsibility of the president.” Jiang Chen waved his hand and then asked in a concerning voice, ”Are you hungry? Tell me if you want to eat something.”
”Taking care of the staff?” Xia Shiyu didn’t respond to Jiang Chen as she murmured under her breath.
”This is the first time I see you looking so confused,” Jiang Chen said smiling, as he ridiculed.
Xia Shiyu was silent before she abruptly said, ”You just haven’t seen it before.”
”Oh? Speaking of this, I am curious. If you are so beautiful, why do you always keep a cold face?”
”… I am tired.” Xia Shiyu closed her eyes and ignored his question.
Jiang Chen, with a bitter smile, shrugged and gave up. He looked at Xia Shiyu’s now regular breathing and helped tuck her up. Then he let out a sigh and walked out of the ward.
[Looks like I am staying here tonight, it would be worrisome to leave her alone.]
Jiang Chen took out his phone and called Ayesha.
”I have something to do tonight and can’t go back, can you take care of yourself?”
”Mhmm. Don’t worry, I will be okay.”
A soft and gentle response echoed from the other side of the phone. It made Jiang Chen feel warm inside.
Although the girl looked even colder than Xia Shiyu when she was outside, whenever she was with Jiang Chen, she was gentler than a sheep.
”Goodnight.”
”Goodnight.” The choppy pronunciation surprised Jiang Chen as a delighted smiled appeared on his face.
[That was Han, looks like she is making progress. I hope the day I can communicate with her in Han comes sooner. It's still weird to call in English.]
After the phone call, Jiang Chen stretched his body. Xia Shiyu was already asleep, so he just needed to remind the nurse to change her medicine during the night.
Time to find a cup of coffee.
Jiang Chen made up his mind as he walked to the resting area of the hospital.
