Actually, she herself hasn’t finished eating yet!
With Xi Mohan’s status, it’s naturally impossible for him to stay in a regular ward. On top of that, this man has a severe cleanliness obsession. So, even with a moderately severe injury, he chose to stay in a high-end ward.
The hospital’s high-end ward is entirely the equivalent of a presidential suite in a hotel, and all that comes at a hefty cost, especially the ward Xi Mohan is currently staying, which is fully at the presidential level, costing over five figures a day.
Initially, when he chose to get hospitalized due to injuries, Ning Wan planned to cover the expenses. But upon seeing the bill, she silently shelved her desire to act like a big spender.
Stepping directly out of the elevator, perhaps because the high-end ward is ridiculously expensive, or maybe because there aren’t many wealthy people injured or hospitalized right now, on a floor with more than ten wards, only three or four patients were admitted, including Xi Mohan.
Walking out of the elevator and looking ahead, Ning Wan couldn’t help but furrow her brows, filled with doubt.
There would usually be two black-clad bodyguards standing at the door of Xi Mohan’s ward, but today the corridor was quiet, with occasional coughs from elderly patients echoing from some ward.
Ning Wan had seen that old man before, the father of a company’s CEO, already seventy years old this year. Age had brought along ailments, so he was directly housed in the hospital. The old man had a good temperament, occasionally greeting her when seeing her come out of Xi Mohan’s ward.
Holding two packed meals, one was nutritious porridge from a good restaurant, Ning Wan thought for a moment and headed directly toward the elder’s ward.
It’s not that she has money to burn, buying food for an unfamiliar elderly, but she knows the man’s son and daughter-in-law are busy working, often traveling abroad. Normally, doctors and nurses care for the old man, who had initially hired a caregiver, but the caregiver had sticky fingers and was fired yesterday. They likely haven’t hired a new one yet.
While buying food for Xi Mohan, Ning Wan inexplicably also bought some for the elder.
The ward played the news, and the man, past his fifties with a head full of white hair, lay on the bed watching TV, occasionally covering his mouth to cough.
Ning Wan pushed the door open and entered. The old man saw her and was briefly stunned before smiling kindly, "Young lady, what brings you here?"
Ning Wan smiled and asked, "Grandpa, have you eaten?"
The old man shook his head honestly, "I was planning to get food at the cafeteria after watching the news. Have you eaten, young lady? Do you want to go with grandpa later to eat at the cafeteria?"
Hearing this, Ning Wan immediately shook her head and raised the nutritious porridge she bought for him, "Grandpa, I just happened to buy some nutritious porridge for you while I was on my way here. If you don’t mind, you can have this. If I come by tonight, I’ll bring you some snacks, okay?"
The elder paused, his smile more gentle, half-jokingly saying, "Haha, with you bringing me food, I don’t have to walk that far. Otherwise, I’d be worried the cafeteria would be closed by the time I got there."
Ning Wan smiled, bringing the porridge to place it on the bedside table, also setting down the side dishes, taking the bowl, chopsticks, and spoon the elder always used to wash in the restroom.
As she returned, the old man looked at Ning Wan and asked, "These meals are for your boyfriend?"
Ning Wan paused, explaining with a smile, "He’s not my boyfriend."
"Then why do you bring him food every day and spend time with him? You’re not in a relationship yet so dedicated?"
Ning Wan thought for a moment and explained, "He got hurt saving me."
"Does he like you?"
"No, he wouldn’t like someone like me."
"That’s for the best. Young lady, let me tell you, when I went out for a stroll earlier, I saw a pretty woman walk into his ward. Though she wasn’t as young or pretty as you... But for such flowers-always-attracted men, best to stay away. If you’re interested in dating, tell me, and I’ll introduce you to a handsome and rich guy, each one attractive and won’t chase after other women..."
