Lin Zhi was beautiful, and many men would try to strike up a conversation with her.
As for people like Wu Bo who took liberties, she had also gotten used to that.
However, Lin Zhi never felt any vanity. Facing men who offered their solicitous attention, she now only felt annoyed, because all of these were unwanted suitors!
Alas...
"Doctor Wu, how is Sun Xiaomei in bed 7 doing now, isn't she about to be discharged?" Lin Zhi countered with a question instead of answering.
The woman she was asking about was the one she had helped to give birth.
Wu Bo was happy to answer the question from a beautiful woman, "She has recovered quite well and was originally planned to be discharged the day after tomorrow. But they've decided to leave tomorrow, and the discharge procedures have all been completed."
They were actually going to be discharged tomorrow, it was good that she had asked.
"I understand, thank you, Doctor Wu." Lin Zhi said and then left, not continuing the conversation.
Wu Bo watched her slim figure leaving and smiled slightly, but no one saw the excited, determined gleam in his eyes.
Lin Zhi returned to her school, took a shower and tidied up a bit, then took some professional books and went back to the hospital.
She was on duty tonight.
After dinner, Lin Zhi walked towards Sun Xiaomei's ward. Just as she reached the door, she heard Sun Xiaomei and her husband quarreling.
"How could she be like this?! Aren't they all her granddaughters, one by one, and this is the third one... You're driving me to my grave..." Sun Xiaomei lamented through her tears.
Her husband Fang Xu was in a difficult spot, "Xiaomei, I'm sorry, I don't want it to be like this either..."
"Then go and tell her that the child absolutely cannot be sent away. She's your mother; if you insist, she definitely won't be able to do anything."
"It's not like I haven't insisted before, but you can see, it's completely useless... Xiaomei, I promise you this is the last time, Mom has already found the people, just waiting for you to be discharged tomorrow..."
"I won't! This time I absolutely refuse! This child was born at the risk of my life. Fang Xu, I'm telling you, if the child is gone, I don't want to live either!"
"Don't get excited, I know you're sad..."
"If you know, then stop her, or I will divorce you! I won't compromise this time!" said Sun Xiaomei, her voice unusually loud and resolute.
Fang Xu didn't want to give up the child either, but his mother only wanted a grandson, and if he opposed her, she would threaten suicide. As a filial son, he always ended up giving in.
However, Sun Xiaomei's attitude also caused him great difficulty...
"Fine, I'll think of something else. I'll go back now and talk to them, don't get upset, there might still be a way out." After comforting Sun Xiaomei for a while, Fang Xu left.
The ward was left with only Sun Xiaomei and her newborn daughter.
Lin Zhi waited for a while before entering the ward; Sun Xiaomei was still crying, her eyes filled with sorrow.
"Why are you crying, crying isn't good for your body now. By the way, where is your husband, why is there no one taking care of you?" Lin Zhi went over and asked with concern.
Sun Xiaomei quickly wiped away her tears and said, "He had to go out for something..."
"And the other people? You just had a baby, someone must stay to take care of you, don't they know?"
Lin Zhi's words made Sun Xiaomei feel even more heartbroken.
After knowing she had given birth to a girl, her in-laws had not come to see her once.
She said sadly, "My parents are gone, and there's no one else at home..."
"What about your mother-in-law?" Lin Zhi continued to ask.
"She..." Sun Xiaomei glanced at the sleeping child beside her, a flash of resentment in her eyes.
