Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Applying Medicine
“Are you a pig? You know your hand is swollen and still messing with it!” Gu Zhihan frowned, his tone sharp as he scolded her.
“I know I was wrong …” Mengmeng admitted her fault, her head lowered, responding to him in a small, aggrieved voice.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Gu Zhihan’s furrowed brow couldn’t help but relax slightly as he sighed, “Forget it, it’s getting late, hurry up and go get an X-ray.”
As he spoke, he personally walked forward, gripping the young girl’s delicate wrists, following Mr. Gu’s footsteps towards the X-ray room.
The X-ray was done quickly, taking less than three minutes.
“How is it?” As soon as the X-ray was ready, Gu Zhihan immediately looked up at Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu held up the X-ray, took another look, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Relax, the bones are fine. It’s just somewhat congested inside, which is why it looks so swollen. If it had been hit a bit harder, the bone might have cracked …”
The more Mr. Gu spoke, the angrier he became, really, every profession has its incompetents and scoundrels.
Gu Zhihan listened silently, his mind already calculating how to deal with the English Teacher.
Unfortunately, that person had connections, reporting was utterly useless, unless …
Within a few seconds, he had thought of another approach.
“I’ll prescribe some herbal medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Take it home to apply. I’ll go find your teacher now!” After Mr. Gu wrote the prescription, he stormed off outside once more.
“Even if you find her, what’s the use? At most, she’ll just apologize. With people backing her, she won’t face any consequences,” Gu Zhihan spoke softly, “and she might even bear a grudge for us telling her parents, secretly making things difficult for us behind the scenes.”
After all, the other party was a teacher; if she wished, there were countless ways she could make life difficult for him and Luo Mengmeng.
“Then what should we do?” Mr. Gu asked instinctively. After asking, he immediately regretted it; had he lost his mind asking a nine-year-old child, as if he could provide any useful advice?
However, Gu Zhihan walked over and shared the plan he had thought of with him, “We do this …”
Their voices were very low, Mengmeng couldn’t hear a thing, and it was clear Gu Zhihan hadn’t intended for her to overhear.
“Let’s do this; I refuse to believe there is no justice in this world!” Mr. Gu nodded.
As they left the hospital, Mengmeng lifted her little head and looked at Gu Zhihan, “Husband, what were you just discussing with Mr. Gu?”
She was curious, immediately followed by a guess.
“Were you guys discussing how to expose the English teacher’s misdeeds?”
“Mm,” Gu Zhihan didn’t deny it.
“So how are you going to expose her?” Mengmeng continued with a curious face.
But this time, Gu Zhihan didn’t tell her, only saying, “You’ll know tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Mengmeng didn’t ask further.
When they got back home, Gu Zhihan took out the herbal ointment that Mr. Gu had prescribed from his backpack. “I’ll apply the ointment on your back first. You now lift the back of your shirt a bit, lie down on the bed and wait for me. I have to wash my hands before I can help you apply this.”
This was more hygienic, preventing any bacteria on his hands from infecting her wounds.
Mengmeng nodded her little head, complying.
After Gu Zhihan washed and disinfected his hands, he walked back into the bedroom from the bathroom, only to be surprised upon entering. He saw the young girl with her upper body bare, lying on the bed.
“Hey, I just asked you to lift your shirt, not to take it off completely!” Does she even know what shame is?
Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but tightly purse his lips.
