Fu Yanlin "escorted" Wen Sheng back to the hospital in silence and then called a doctor and nurse to examine her.
The doctor was a middle-aged man, very kind and chatty. Pushing up his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose like a headmaster scolding a disobedient student, he said with an authentic and amusing Midwestern accent, "Young lady, you shouldn't take your youthful recovery rate for granted. Wait till you get older and experience hardship, then you'll understand the struggle."
Wen Sheng has always been a model student, very obedient. In school, she had never been admonished by a teacher. Facing the doctor's scolding now, she was just like a quail, nodding in agreement, saying, "I understand, I was wrong."
"You should notify your family whenever you leave the house. Your boyfriend was worried sick about you—" The doctor was cut off mid-sentence by Fu Yanlin, who retorted, "A few more injections will keep her in line. Speech education is ineffective."
