The doctor arrived quickly and after an examination, Fu Tingzhou was fine once he regained consciousness.
That noon, even the hospital director, Gao Chengxiong, the General Manager of Gao Group, and Shangguan Bai, the head of the Shangguan Family, rushed over.
Rumors were spreading inside the hospital that the patient in bed 28 was an important figure with a distinguished identity.
It wasn’t long before Fu Tingzhou left the emergency room and was transferred to the deluxe ward.
Accompanied by bodyguards the whole time.
Ning Daisu walked towards the nurses’ station and the triage desk, "Someone has paid medical fees in advance for Mr. Fu; who paid it? Our family would like to express our gratitude."
It was already the time for the night shift nurses to finish their shift, but Lu Xue hadn’t left yet. Energetic and curious, she was preparing her belongings to head home for some sleep. Seeing Ning Daisu approaching, she blinked, recalling Tang Xi’s words, "Ah, it was me."
Ning Daisu took out a card and handed it over, "There’s fifty thousand in this card, the amount exceeding medical fees is a token of our thanks to you."
Lu Xue did not accept it, although she was quite tempted.
A nurse’s monthly salary isn’t much anyway.
But, she had her professionalism and ethical bottom line, "I’m sorry, I’ll just take my own part."
Ning Daisu raised an eyebrow, "Fine, you’ll receive a refund in your account shortly. As a thank you, here’s a small gift for you. This is the limited new fragrance designed by the renowned luxury designer Shen Jianlin this year, I bought it, I’m giving it to you."
After Ning Daisu left.
A group of young nurses gathered around the station.
"Oh my, a bottle of perfume for eight thousand eight hundred yuan. That’s more than our monthly salary, I heard it’s a new special fragrance by Shen Jianlin released this year, there are probably not many bottles on our North Island..."
"Lu Xue, you have quite the eye, getting here and immediately realizing bed 28’s patient was a big shot and paying his medical bills in advance..."
"Let me smell what an eight thousand-plus bottle of perfume smells like," said one nurse, reaching out to open the gift box.
An exquisite glass bottle, the pale green liquid, a light and refreshing top note in the air, the scent of citrus and woody notes dissipate the smell of disinfectant.
Head nurse Song Qin came over, "What’s everyone gathered here for! Are you still working or not, get busy with your own tasks!"
Song Qin glanced at Lu Xue and then at the bottle of perfume, no reproach in her eyes, just a gentle smile, "You should be off the night shift now, go home and get some rest."
Lu Xue put the perfume in her bag; as she sat on the bus leaving the hospital, there was a notification of a deposit in her mobile account – it was the medical fee that Tang Xi had paid for Fu Tingzhou. She immediately called Tang Xi.
"Tang Xi, the medical fees you paid for bed 28 have been refunded, I’ll transfer it to your account."
"That...," Lu Xue bit her lip, blinked her eyes in play of acting, "Tang Xi, I... that gentleman’s subordinate also gave me a bottle of perfume, I think..." Lu Xue was too embarrassed to say she wanted to keep it; she was just an ordinary nurse who came to the hospital through competitive exams, the sudden whiff of the perfume’s refreshing scent made her experience the allure of luxury goods woven together with money.
"I just want the refund, the rest you can keep," said Tang Xi.
"Thank you, Tang Xi." Lu Xue joyfully took out the perfume from her bag, sprayed a little on her wrist, closed her eyes, and sniffed blissfully, with a satisfied delight.
Tangtang was actually old enough to go to kindergarten.
These past few days, when Tang Xi had some free time, she too had been inquiring about information from various kindergartens.
Su Wenhe had helped her a lot, supporting her like an elder, and also accompanying her in taking care of Tangtang, which moved Tang Xi deeply. During her four years in North City, she brought up her daughter alone, the hardships along the way were unspeakable, but she got to know Su Wenhe as well as Wen Ruomian, her good friend.
If it hadn’t been for this time, with Fu Tingzhou suddenly coming to North Island, disturbing the peace she had been holding onto in her heart, perhaps Tang Xi would have liked to spend her entire life here, enjoying times like these.
Sitting on the balcony, Tang Xi sorted through the clean laundry.
She looked at her daughter playing with building blocks on the carpet not far away, and Tang Xi went over, bending down and gently touching her daughter’s cheek, "Tangtang, do you like it here? Should we move to a different city to live?"
Even though she was cautious and avoided Fu Tingzhou.
She was afraid she ultimately couldn’t hide.
She didn’t have the ability to stand against him.
