Qiao Yaruan helped Shui Anluo to Mo Lusu’s office. There were not a lot of people in the hospital at night. They mostly consisted of patients who were staying in the hospital who were walking along the corridor.
Mo Lusu closed the document in his hands when he saw them then got up to pull out two chairs. “Luoluo, did your father have frequent migraines in the past?”
“Migraines?” Shui Anluo thought seriously before she finally shook her head. “No, my father has always been rather healthy before my mother and I left.”
Qiao Yaruan’s mind quickly raced through the symptoms and repercussions of migraines. Finally, her face paled.
Shui Anluo had clearly thought of it as well and clenched her hands on her thighs. “Senior Brother, it can’t be…”
‘Brain cancer…’
She did not dare to say those two words.
“It’s nothing that serious.” Mo Lusu reached out to pat her shoulder. “But this report is old so we may have to do another test. However…”
“The Chu Group’s Hospital will take over this matter from now on.” Chu Ningyi spoke up before Mo Lusu could say anything. He walked to Shui Anluo and placed his hands on her shoulder but his eyes stayed on Mo Lusu. “I’ve already sent Uncle Chu to deal with the hospital transfer procedures. I believe that having Director Qiao around would be a better assurance than you, right?”
Mo Lusu clenched his fist on the table. His eyes were already tinged with irritation.
“Do you really think that doing this will allow you to conceal it for much longer?” Mo Lusu asked in a deep voice.
Chu Ningyi immediately bent down and scooped Shui Anluo into his arms. He turned around to look at Mo Lusu who was holding his anger back. “Stick with your duties as a doctor. Don’t fall behind your maternal grandmother over something as basic as this.”
Chu Ningyi carried Shui Anluo away and Qiao Yaruan hurriedly rose to her feet. “Senior Brother, please excuse me.”
This atmosphere felt strange.
Most importantly, she had not managed to get her money. She still needed to get her money from Feng Feng.
Mo Lusu waited for Qiao Yaruan to leave before he swept the documents off his table. He was lesser than Qiao Huihe? How could he possibly be lesser than that murderess?
Chu Ningyi had single-handedly managed Shui Moyun’s transfer. Shui Anluo still had not seen her father. By the time she arrived at the hospital, the doctors told her that he had been sent into the intensive care unit and could not have visitors for the time being.
Shui Anluo sat outside the ward and gazed upon the man who was lying inside. She had sat down just like this a few months ago as she looked at her father from the outside.
“Don’t overthink it, it’ll be fine.” Chu Ningyi held her hand as he softly assured her.
Shui Anluo nodded. Chu Ningyi looked around and said, “I’ll go get you something to drink.” Uncle Chu was not around so he had to go and get it himself.
Shui Anluo continued to nod and watched him leave.
“I just saw Shui Anluo. This is truly the benefit of marrying into an elite household. Her grades were so bad during her internship at the hospital. Furthermore, she had clocked in and left whenever she pleased. Sigh…”
“Do you envy her? That’s no use. This is her family’s hospital. She doesn’t even respect Director Qiao. It’s been so long and she hasn’t even come in to continue her internship.”
“That’s right, you can’t even envy her. It’s already come to this. What’s the point of studying medicine? Isn’t that just to make us jealous?”
“Hmph, she had come to do her internship but it’s more like she’s interning on how to stir up trouble. I heard that she had forced Doctor Lan out. She’s that great. First, it was Doctor Lin then Doctor Lan. Both of them had been Director Qiao’s favored candidates to become the Deputy Director. Sigh…”
Shui Anluo listened as the conversation grew further and further away. However, she could not help but feel enraged. As it turns out, in everyone’s opinion, she had forced both of them away.
‘What’s the point of studying medicine?’
The question stung Shui Anluo’s heart like a thorn. As if everything she had worked for over the past few years had been nullified in one sentence.
Shui Anluo clenched her fists. Finally, when she could not clench them any further, she raised her head and saw a figure with perfectly straight legs dressed in a white lab coat standing in front of her.
