Chapter 63 - 63: A Hospital Visit
The young intern who accompanied Xia Xin to the hospital was still a university student. She was very eager to hear about this kind of thing and immediately caught onto the topic of a boyfriend, teasing, “Xia Xin, you’re so pretty. Your boyfriend must be handsome!”
Xia Xin hurriedly explained, “It’s just a misunderstanding. I don’t have a boyfriend. It was my friend who brought me here, and the doctor misunderstood.”
The doctor said, “Well, your friend must really care about you. I saw him anxiously waiting by your bedside all night.”
The young intern gave Xia Xin a knowing look and said, “Xia Xin, your face is all red, and you’re still calling him a friend?”
Xia Xin was used to being teased in school and had always been quick to clarify. But this time, the teasing was about Jing MO, and for some reason, she didn’t know how to explain. Nervously, she said, “Alright, I’m already at the hospital. Hurry back to the set.”
The young intern did indeed have a lot to do back on the set, so she didn’t decline and left.
Xia Xin involuntarily recalled the scene where Jing MO had held her that day. Unfortunately, she had fallen asleep and couldn’t quite picture that scene. She thought it was a shame she missed it.
Xia Xin couldn’t help but wonder, ‘No matter what happened, Jing MO always appeared calm and composed. Would he truly be anxious for me? I wonder what he would look like when he’s genuinely worried…’
While Xia Xin was lost in thought, her leg suddenly twinged, and she couldn’t help but cry out.
The doctor had picked up a pen to write on a prescription pad. He said, “Your leg had a slight displacement due to the weight pressure. I’ve realigned it. Although it’s not as severe as a fracture, you should still take it easy.”
Xia Xin nodded and tentatively moved her leg. Indeed, it wasn’t as painful as before.
The doctor couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of work do you do? Are you a stunt double for martial arts? How come you’re injured every day? A few days ago, you had glass shards in your arm, and now you’ve twisted your leg.”
Xia Xin rubbed her leg and said, “They’re all accidents. I didn’t expect to be so acquainted with the hospital.”
The doctor thought Xia Xin might be enduring hardships for the sake of earning money, and couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her. He advised, “While money is important, you should cherish your health more. When you’re young, you’re trading your body for money, but as you get older, you’ll trade money for good health.”
Xia Xin couldn’t argue and could only agree. She said, “Thank you for your concern, doctor. I’ll be more careful in the future.’
The doctor said, “You should be observed in the hospital for a while. Tomorrow morning, we’ll take an X-ray to check for any fractures. I’ll transfer you to the orthopedics department; they’ve prepared a room for you on the third floor.
You can head up there.”
Hobbling, Xia Xin took the elevator with her treatment plan and messaged Zhao Nan on the way up.
Xia Xin was afraid that Zhao Nan would worry if she didn’t find her at home in the evening, so Xia Xin informed Zhao Nan that she was at the hospital due to an emergency shoot and would be back home tomorrow.
Zhao Nan was also working overtime these days and didn’t think much of it.
She just reminded Xia Xin to rest well.
It was only after getting off the elevator that Xia Xin remembered today was the day she was supposed to pick up Layle.
Xia Xin smirked and thought, ‘I hadn’t even managed to bring Layle back yet, and now I was back in the hospital again. I guess I could only go home with Layle tomorrow.’
Xia Xin worried that Layle would be anxious not seeing her today, so she endured the pain and hobbled her way to the veterinary department to see Layle.
After Xia Xin explained that they would be back home tomorrow, Layle gave her a concerned and caring look.
Even the nurse joked, “Your little dog acts just like a person, understanding how to care for its owner.’
Proudly, Xia Xin replied that her precious dog was indeed intelligent.
Returning to her ward, Xia Xin had just laid down when she received a call from Tang Hai, a colleague from the zoo. It had been a while since she had contacted Tang Hai.
Previously, Tang Hai had been very attentive to her and even expressed his feelings for her. After learning about his feelings, Xia Xin had deliberately distanced herself from him, and the two hadn’t been in touch for a long time. She was surprised to receive his call today.
Answering the call, Xia Xin asked, “Hi, Mr. Tang. Is there something you need?”
Tang Hail s hearty voice came through, “Mr. Lu heard that you had another accident and is really worried about you. He asked me to represent the zoo to come and see you. Which room are you in?”
After Xia Xin heard that it was Lu Yuan who sent Tang Hai, she let down her guard and said, “It’s okay, Mr. Tang. You don’t need to come all the way here. There’s nothing major happening here..”
