Chapter 56: Chapter 56 That’s Good
“Eh?” Upon hearing this, Gu Zhihan’s father quickly stopped writing and looked up at the two little ones, “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you still be in school at this hour?”
Just as Gu Zhihan’s father thought his son had skipped class with his sweet daughter-in-law, Gu Zhihan cut straight to the point, “Don’t ask so much, just check her hand to see if there’s any problem.”
As he spoke, he raised Mengmeng’s red and swollen little hand in front of him.
Gu Zhihan’s father was not only the director of the hospital but also a renowned orthopedic surgeon.
“What happened to the hand?” Gu Zhihan’s father immediately got up from his seat and walked briskly to Mengmeng. Upon seeing how terribly swollen her hand was, his face instantly flashed with anger, “What happened here?”
It was clearly a case of someone hitting her.
“Was it you, Gu Zhihan, you little rascal, who hit Mengmeng?” The moment Gu Zhihan’s father considered this possibility, he immediately prepared to raise his hand to hit him.
Gu Zhihan was at a loss for words.
Why did he always have to take the blame…
“No, no, Gu Dad, my husband didn’t hit me; a teacher did!” Seeing Gu Zhihan’s father about to misunderstand, Mengmeng quickly shook her head and explained, “And my body was also hit.”
While speaking, Mengmeng turned around, lifted the hem of her shirt, and revealed her back covered in horizontal bruises.
The purplish-blue marks were especially stark against her tender pale skin, cruel-looking as if someone had brutally abused her.
“That’s outrageous, what kind of teacher dares to physically punish students!” Gu Zhihan’s father was furious, rising three feet into the air, grabbing his coat hanging nearby and prepared to head out, “Daughter-in-law, wait here, Dad is going to sort this out for you right now!”
Luo Mengmeng, while pulling down her clothing, blinked, This sounded almost like something from a mafia.
Gu Dad, you are a proper doctor and hospital director!
“Before you go to sort things out, can you first check Luo Mengmeng’s hand?” Gu Zhihan felt speechless. What was more important at the moment, settling scores with the teacher or Mengmeng’s swollen hands?
Can’t you see her hands are swollen like balloons?
“Ah, how could I forget that Mengmeng’s hand is injured.” Gu Zhihan’s father stopped in his tracks, immediately checked Mengmeng’s hand. With ordinary people, he could tell the condition of the bone by just feeling it, but Mengmeng was a child with delicate bones, so he couldn’t be sure.
“, let’s take an x-ray first.”
Having said this, Gu Zhihan’s father personally led Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan toward the x-ray room.
On the way there, Mengmeng’s little face was all scrunched up, as if shrouded in dark clouds.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but ask.
“Does it hurt, hurt, hurt to take an x-ray?” Mengmeng hesitantly asked.
She had never had an x-ray in her life, so she instinctively thought it might be like getting an injection, where she would have to be poked.
Gu Zhihan looked down at her in exasperation, educating her with a lowered voice, “You dummy, how could taking an x-ray hurt? It’s just like taking a photo, it’ll be done with a snap.”
Mengmeng finally relaxed and gratefully lifted her red and swollen little paw to pat her tiny chest.
Just as she patted, Mengmeng couldn’t help but suck in a breath of air.
