C84 (1/2)
After calling Xiang Qicheng and the servants over, everyone carried Chu Xuan onto the carriage and headed straight for the hospital at the center of the city.
”Why did it only arrive here now? How was it burnt …” The emergency clinic doctor looked at Chu Yu and Xiang Qicheng unhappily, and ordered the nurses to bring in a thermometer.
Chu Yu knew he was in the wrong, so he did not explain any further. He took the thermometer and held it under Chu Xuan's arm, fixing his arm.
When it was time, the nurse came in and took out the thermometer. She took a look at it and then hurriedly walked to the doctor's side and whispered a few words to him. Her eyes kept looking in his direction.
Chu Yu was already nervous in his heart, but being looked at in such a manner caused his heart to be even more perturbed.
After a while, the nurse came back and said to Chu Yu: ”Doctor Chen wants you to go over.”
”What was your father's date of birth?” The doctor asked as soon as he sat down. His fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, but his eyes never left the computer screen.
Chu Yu was startled, he thought for a long time, but still could not think of anything.
Ever since something happened at home, he no longer had the habit of celebrating his father's birthday. As time passed, even the memories of his birth date became blurred.
Seeing that the person on the other side did not answer, the doctor stopped tapping his keyboard and looked up at Chu Yu, his eyes filled with confusion.
Chu Yu lowered her head and bit her lips, an awkward expression on her face: ”I'm sorry … I don't remember very well. ”
She didn't even dare to look up at the doctor. As a daughter, she didn't even remember the date of her father's birth. She really didn't know how he would look at her.
”Does your father have an allergy to any medicine?” The doctor seemed so used to it that he skipped over the question.
This question caused Chu Yu to fall into an awkward situation once again. Usually, when Chu Xuan was sick, he would invite a private doctor to his house to treat him, but as for the history of allergies, he was relatively clear about it.
”I... ”I don't know …” Chu Yu's face was flushed red. She was extremely embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
With a ”Si La” sound, the doctor neatly wrote out a prescription and gave it to Chu Yu: ”After paying the fees, take the prescription to the nurse.”
The emotion in his eyes was much colder than before, it was obvious that the doctor considered Chu Yu's actions of not knowing anything about him as unfilial.
With a red face, he thanked her before Chu Yu quickly left the doctor's office and headed towards the payment office. Even without raising his head, she could feel the doctor's gaze.
By the time the nurse injected the acupuncture for Chu Xuan, it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon. After tormenting themselves for an entire morning, Xiang Qicheng had already ordered people to buy lunch for him and send him to the sickroom.
Looking at his watch, Chu Yu casually ate a few mouthfuls of rice before hurriedly putting down his chopsticks and standing up.
”I need to go out for a while …” She said hesitantly, her hand gripping the edge of her bag nervously.
Xiang Qicheng understood and nodded at her: ”Go, I'll watch over here. You need to be careful.”
Because he saw her hesitation, he did not ask where she was going.
Chu Yu gratefully looked at him before leaving the room.
She had calculated the time. She could catch the one that would arrive at 1: 30 p.m. at the bus stop, which was less than ten minutes away from the hospital.
