Chapter 13 - Hospital Rules

Xia Chenxing was stunned for two seconds before smiling. "That's too heartless!"

Xia Chenxing was probably too traumatized by what had happened next door. She actually didn't sleep well all night. When she woke up the next day, there were two large dark circles under her eyes. After she left the house, she deliberately went next door and knocked on the door, but there was still no answer. For the sake of sleep and health, she decided to go back to the old residence for the time being. This morning, she did a consultation. When she arrived at the hospital and changed her clothes, the nurse started calling numbers. Soon, the first patient came in.

When Xia Chenxing heard the door open, she looked up and was stunned. She asked in surprise, "Xia Lan, why are you here?"

Xia Lan did not seem to have expected to meet Xia Chenxing either. She looked very awkward and turned to leave, but was stopped by Xia Ling behind her. "Sister, things have to be resolved. Cousin's medical skills are very good, and she's family. She'll keep it a secret for you. Don't worry!"

Xia Chenxing calmed down and asked routinely, "Where is the patient feeling unwell?"

Xia Lan did not leave, but she did not say a word. Xia Ling said, "Cousin, actually, my sister is pregnant, but we can't keep this child. We have to abort it. Otherwise, if my father and the others find out, they will definitely beat my sister to death. Cousin, you won't tell anyone, right?"

Xia Ling was the illegitimate daughter of Xia Chenxing's uncle. Her biological mother died when she gave birth, so she was brought back to the Xia family. She was usually gentle and weak, and everyone thought that she was easy to bully. However, Xia Chenxing knew that Xia Ling was a smart person. The life of an illegitimate daughter was not easy. To be able to make the daughter of the main wife accept her, she was definitely a capable person.

"The doctor will respect the patient's right to privacy, but it's hard to say about the others," Xia Chenxing said lightly. Even if she didn't say it, it didn't mean that Xia Ling wouldn't. If she didn't say it in advance, wouldn't she have to take the blame for no reason in the future?

Xia Lan was furious and immediately exploded when she heard this. She questioned, "Xia Chenxing, what do you mean? You don't want to help me keep it a secret at all?"

"Miss Xia, haven't you learned Chinese before? Can't you understand these few words?" Xia Chenxing replied angrily. She was not obliged to explain everything to her, so she said, "If you don't want to see me anymore, please leave. There are still many patients queuing up behind. Don't waste time."

Xia Lan was used to being arrogant. When had she ever been wronged like this? She immediately shouted, "You think too highly of yourself. There are many doctors. It's not like you're the only one!" With that, she turned around and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Xia Ling again. "Hey, Sister, Cousin already knows about your pregnancy. What's the point of leaving now? Besides, Cousin's medical skills are very famous."

Xia Lan had nowhere to vent her anger. Seeing that Xia Ling was stopping her again, she raised her hand and slapped Xia Ling. She scolded, "It's all your fault. You insisted on bringing me to find Xia Chenxing. I think you're deliberately colluding with her to make a fool of me!"

Xia Ling covered her face aggrievedly and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you misunderstood me. How could I do that? Cousin, help me explain to Sister!"

Xia Chenxing was speechless. What was there for her to explain? If she really explained, she would really be misunderstood and colluded with Xia Ling. She did not want to be cannon fodder for others. She said calmly, "Since you don't want to see me, I'll call the next patient."

Although Xia Lan was not shrewd, she was not stupid. Considering the current situation, Xia Chenxing was the best choice. She sat down angrily and said arrogantly, "If you want me to leave, I won't leave! I'll let you be my chief surgeon. If anything happens, I'll make sure you can't become a doctor!"

At this point, Xia Chenxing had no choice but to give her a test report. After all, doctors could not choose patients. After she finished updating the computer, she said, "The report has been written. When you get the results, come back here. I'll arrange an operation for you."

Xia Lan snorted coldly and walked out of the consultation room. Xia Ling followed behind her like a little servant.

The test results were out and eliminated an ectopic pregnancy. Xia Chenxing threw a surgical appointment slip to Xia Lan and said, "Take this to my assistant and get her to make an appointment for you."

"What? Xia Chenxing, I'm your cousin. Do I have to line up with the others?" Xia Lan asked in disbelief.

Xia Chenxing smiled and said, "Cousin? My biological sister has to line up too. The hospital has rules that don't allow people to cut in line. I'm really sorry. You'd better go quickly. The later you make an appointment, the later the surgery will be."
