Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo rushed to the hospital; Hualing hadn’t left yet, seemingly waiting for her to come. But seeing Qi Taiguo there too, Hualing was stunned for a moment and pulled Cheng Su aside.
"Why did you bring him too?" Hualing seemed a bit flustered and a bit embarrassed.
She had told Cheng Su that this was a matter for women; what was the point of bringing Qi Taiguo along?
Cheng Su purposely said, "If I don’t bring him, how can we start tearing into it?"
Hualing became more awkward and said, "Why not wait until it’s clear before saying anything? What if we’ve got it wrong, wouldn’t that be mortifying?"
"Aren’t you just waiting to see my joke?" Cheng Su replied with a half-smile.
Hualing’s thoughts were exposed, and her face turned red with anger as she said, "Cheng Su, don’t be like this, I’m saying this for your own good!"
"Okay, okay, it’s not what you think. Old Qi already explained it to me; she is a widow of a comrade named Zheng Guixiang." Cheng Su stopped teasing her.
Hualing was taken aback; what, a widow of a comrade?
Heaven, what kind of big misunderstanding is this!
However, this name Zheng Guixiang seems so familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere?
"Where is she, in which ward?" Qi Taiguo walked up and asked.
Hualing was startled for a moment, then replied, "In 303."
Upon hearing this, Qi Taiguo strode towards the inpatient building, followed closely by Cheng Su.
After thinking for a moment, Hualing followed them too.
In room 303, there were several hospital beds, all occupied; some people were talking, and others were lying down.
Qi Taiguo scanned the room but didn’t see Little Yu; he looked again at the patients on the beds and his gaze fell on the innermost bed.
He walked over and found a pale and frail little girl lying there asleep.
