Chapter 36 - How Nice It Is To Be Powerful
After the nurse heard her, she retained her smile and said calmly, "I'm sorry, but we can't help you with that. You will have to ask your doctor. If you have no other requests, I will take my leave now. Feel free to call me if you need any help."
Looking at the feigned smile plastered on the nurse's face, Gu Nanyu thought that the nurse must be feeling annoyed in her heart despite her smiling facade.
The nurse instantly exited the ward after that, but the woman was still cursing at her loudly.
Then, she took out her phone and made a call. After the call was connected, she said in an angry manner,
"Yang Qinglin, at the very least, you're an official with a leadership position in the military. Now, your son is sick and is admitted to the hospital, but they can't even get a proper room for him. He is living with some uncivilized peasants now. I want to transfer him to another hospital!"
The person on the call seemed to say something and calmed the woman down.
After she hung up the call, she sat beside the bed and glared at Gu Nanyu.
Hmph, you will get in some trouble soon!
After half an hour, a man dressed in military uniform arrived.
Upon entering the ward, the man skimmed through the ward and asked the woman in a low voice,
"What happened?"
"It's this brat. When I was queueing up to pay the fees, he cursed and insulted! I don't want to be in the same ward with him. I want to be in another ward."
The man glanced at Gu Nanyu coldly and asked, "Who's our child's doctor?"
"It's Dr. Liu," the woman replied.
Then, the man turned around and left the ward. Gu Nanyu simply ignored them as she thought it would be best if they switched to another ward as she loathed their presence.
After some time, the man returned.
The man said gently to console his wife, "The hospital is indeed full now. Let's be patient for now. The doctor said that they will be discharged this afternoon. After that, they will not let anyone else stay in this ward."
"Aren't the wards on the highest floor still empty?" The woman thought that since Yang Qinglin was an official, it was not improper for her to stay in the VIP ward.
Yang Qinglin's face turned awkward and said, "Old Minister Fu is currently staying in the ward, so they will not admit anyone to the highest floor. Even an official who is of higher rank than me cannot stay there, much less me."
The woman finally gave up after listening to him.
Gu Nanyu raised her eyebrows while listening to the couple's conversation.
What do they mean, saying that they will be discharged this afternoon?
Gu Nanyu wanted Xize to stay in the hospital because he was still quite sick. In the morning, the doctor had also said that Little Ze needed to be hospitalized for observation for three to five days.
However, the doctor changed his mind and said that they would discharge Little Ze. It was obvious that the man had told the doctor something.
Gu Nanyu merely remained silent as she wanted to wait for an explanation from the doctor.
At noon, Little Ze's IV drip was pulled out. The doctor also instructed the nurse to tell them that he could be discharged from the hospital.
Gu Nanyu went to the doctor and explained Little Ze's situation.
Instead of listening to her explanation, the doctor merely wrote a letter of discharge for her.
He said heartlessly, "It's only fever and an infection. Just stay at home and observe him. If you're still worried, you can go to the town hospital. Our hospital doesn't have many vacant beds now. Just now, the president personally instructed us to prioritize the family members of military personnel."
Gu Nanyu was able to read between the lines. Apparently, they were not important enough even to stay in the most ordinary ward in the military hospital.
After listening to the doctor's words, Gu Nanyu finally understood why people desired power and chased after fame and reputation.
How nice it is to be powerful.
