"You accompanied my grandson, my grandson! Your hospital is full of quacks, you treated my grandson to death! You owe my grandson!"
The horrendous screams reverberated endlessly through the hospital corridors. Xiao Yifei slightly furrowed his brow and could only vaguely see, through his exceptional vision, a child with a cyanotic complexion in the old woman’s arms.
"Can we please not panic? Let’s all calm down first, and talk slowly about what exactly happened; there is no need to be so drastic."
However, the doctor whom the old woman was clutching desperately was persuading the old woman with calm gentleness. She seemed extremely patient and apparently did not care about the old woman’s dirty hands leaving grime on her pristine white coat.
The sight made Xiao Yifei suddenly squint his eyes sharply, because he realized that the female doctor being grasped tightly by the old woman was An Xin.
At that moment, the old woman was practically hanging on An Xin. She didn’t even consider the child in her arms as she pulled fiercely on An Xin’s clothes, while loudly wailing as if to gain the attention and sympathy of the people nearby.
"You killed my grandson! Now you want me to calm down, how can I calm down! How do you expect me to calm down!"
The old woman shook An Xin’s body vigorously, almost causing An Xin to stumble. Despite this, she did not stop her intent and continued to shake An Xin relentlessly.
It seemed she felt her current state wasn’t pitiful enough; the old woman even lifted the child in her arms with one hand so that the bystanders could clearly see her so-called grandson’s miserable state.
The child’s face was ashen, his eyes tightly shut, and his tiny fists were clenched together—appearing as if he indeed was no longer breathing, thereby eliciting sympathy from onlookers.
But what Xiao Yifei found strange at this moment was, if this child really was the old woman’s grandson, then her current behavior seemed exceedingly heartless.
Now, the way the old woman was holding the child did not seem like she was grieving but more like she was filled with ulterior motives.
Just then, the moment Xiao Yifei’s gaze landed on the child in the old woman’s hand, his eyes suddenly froze, and a sharp glint flashed through his pupils.
Xiao Yifei frowned, sensing something peculiar.
However, at that time, everyone’s attention was drawn to the old woman, and they failed to notice the oddity with Xiao Yifei. Meanwhile, the old woman still clung to An Xin’s body, wailing loudly.
An Xin, already excessively curvaceous, now had her clothing forcefully pulled by the old woman, exaggerating her shapely figure even further.
Even so, An Xin remained extremely gentle while dealing with the seemingly unreasonable old woman. Besides speaking words of comfort, she also tried to calm the old woman down.
But clearly, the old woman, whose intentions were not that simple from the beginning, had no intention of releasing An Xin’s clothes. In fact, she gripped them even tighter, and An Xin was visibly struggling to cope with the situation, made quite awkward by the old woman’s actions!
"I don’t care, you killed my grandson, you decide how to handle this. Remember, he is my grandson, my own flesh and blood! He’s my only grandson, so tell me, what are you going to do!"
The old woman, pulling at An Xin, continued to speak stubbornly.
And from the old woman’s words, it was even clearer that aside from showing no concern for her grandson in her arms, she was consistently trying to steer the conversation towards compensation.
This situation further furrowed Xiao Yifei’s brow.
The tender and patient demeanor An Xin was currently displaying had already given Xiao Yifei a new perspective on this doctor, but the old woman was indeed making some feel nauseous.
He strode forward even more towards the front.
"What do you say we should do?"
The old woman’s voice let out a piercing shout, sparking curiosity as to how, at her age, she still had the strength to keep yelling without end.
"Ma’am, please don’t panic, can we talk this through? I’m not fully aware of the situation yet. You can’t just see a doctor and cling to them relentlessly, can we? Let’s calm down first; once we’ve calmed down, we can talk it over slowly, alright?"
An Xin spoke very patiently to the old woman.
However, who knew that, upon hearing An Xin’s words, the old woman would show no reaction at all. On the contrary, her movements, compared to before, suddenly became more violent; she even faintly started to make gestures of scratching people with her nails. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
When Xiao Yifei heard An Xin’s words, he finally understood that the old woman wasn’t there to find fault with An Xin. Instead, having encountered An Xin by chance, she simply wouldn’t let go of An Xin.
"I won’t stop, don’t talk to me. I don’t care who you all are, it’s just that your hospital, when treating my grandson, killed him. It’s all your fault!"
She was relentless, with no intention of reconciling at all.
Seeing the situation unfold before her, An Xin couldn’t help but frown. She was at a loss as to what to do and finally sighed softly before taking out her cell phone to contact the hospital’s leadership.
"Right! Go ahead and call! By the looks of it, you don’t seem like some high-ranking official. Hurry and get your leaders here, let them come see what should be done now! Your lousy hospital killed my grandson!"
The old woman was taken aback when she saw An Xin pulling out her phone. However, she soon shouted angrily at An Xin, her previous misery nowhere to be seen.
Even while she was talking to An Xin, the old woman casually placed her grandson, who she mentioned, on the ground.
Witnessing this, Xiao Yifei’s face flashed with disgust, because by now, he was almost certain that the old woman was just looking for trouble!
Just as An Xin had taken out her phone, several doctors in white coats hurriedly emerged from the other side of the corridor. They wore expressions of haste and disgust on their faces, clearly there to handle the situation unfolding in the corridor.
"Zhao Xiufen, will this ever end?"
As these people arrived at the hospital, the male doctor at the front, glared at the old woman, crying and howling on the floor, and shouted angrily. The fact that he could address the old woman by her name indicated that he already knew the old woman.
Upon hearing the male doctor’s angry words, Zhao Xiufen immediately looked up, her eyes flashing with panic, but then, with a sudden movement, she lunged directly at the male doctor.
"Look at that! The hospital’s doctor is bullying people. Not only did he kill my grandson, but now he’s even threatening people. With this kind of hospital, do you really feel secure letting them continue to operate? Compensate for my grandson, compensate my grandson!"
