Free Web NovelChapter 62: Chapter 62 Forced Discharge
"Shall we eat before we go?"
Wang Hao asked Xia Xue with a worried face.
"Let’s go back to the county to eat. I want to buy some medicine for my dad before the hospital closes for lunch. The city hospital has a more complete selection and it’s cheaper."
It turned out that it wasn’t Xia Xue who was injured. After hearing this, Wang Hao felt relieved and agreed to accompany her to Zao City Central Hospital.
Wang Hao had always been in good health and rarely visited the hospital since he was a child, let alone now with the protection of the Nine Dragons, he hardly needed to go to the hospital and was unfamiliar with its layout.
Thus, he followed Xia Xue the whole way, silently taking note of all the names of the medicines she bought.
"County hospitals are also a pit, obviously it’s the same medicine, just different packaging, but the price is more than double."
Leaving the hospital, Xia Xue said, looking at the medicine in the plastic bag.
"This is pain medication, right? What disease does your dad have that he needs this kind of medicine? You can’t take these often."
Wang Hao saw four big boxes of painkillers in the medicine bag. Buying so much indicated it was likely a very serious illness.
Xia Xue was silent for a long time.
"Actually, I have never told outsiders."
Xia Xue raised her head and looked at Wang Hao deeply, with tears in her eyes, she said,
"My dad has late-stage cancer. They all want me to give up treatment, but how could I bear to give up? He’s my only family!"
At this point, Xia Xue became a bit agitated.
Xia Xue knew that the previous men had left her because of her father’s illness, and now she could use this opportunity to test Wang Hao.
"What kind of cancer?"
Wang Hao asked.
"Liver cancer."
Hearing such a cold response from Wang Hao, Xia Xue suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She felt that if Wang Hao really didn’t care about her father’s illness, he wouldn’t have asked what specific type of cancer it was.
"Oh!"
Wang Hao paused and said.
"There isn’t a cure for liver cancer yet, is there?"
Xia Xue nodded.
"So these medicines can only alleviate his symptoms right now, can’t they?"
Wang Hao continued to ask.
Xia Xue nodded again, looking at Wang Hao’s actions; she felt disheartened. This was the pattern with previous men, who after learning the specifics and realizing that treating her father was a money pit, would quietly leave.
So she didn’t hold much hope for Wang Hao.
"Don’t worry too much, just stick with the conservative treatment for now. You just focus on building our greenhouse. I’ll find a way to treat your dad’s illness. Don’t worry too much, I’m here for everything!"
After a moment of thought, Wang Hao said reassuringly.
Hearing this, Xia Xue’s eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Wang Hao incredulously as a warm surge flowed through her body.
This man really was different from the others.
"Okay then, shall we go after we eat? You probably haven’t had breakfast either."
Wang Hao patted Xia Xue’s shoulder and said with a smile.
"But my dad’s medicine..."
"Alright, your dad’s illness is the most important thing; he can’t miss his medication."
Wang Hao had been hoping for a romantic lunch to show off a bit, but that dream was now shattered.
So the two of them hurriedly left with the medicine for Chicheng County Hospital.
Just as the two of them left, Zhou Mazi, who had been hiding behind the crowd, stepped out with a sly grin on his face.
"So the woman’s dad is hospitalized in the county hospital! Now there’s going to be some drama to watch."
Zhou Mazi laughed while touching his head.
It seemed that his beating was not in vain; he had come to the city hospital and got such explosive news.
If he couldn’t defeat Wang Hao directly, he would start by targeting the people close to him. This woman cared so much about her dad, so he would strike at her father.
Let’s see who will help you with the greenhouse without this woman by your side.
Zhou Mazi was hell-bent on getting revenge on Wang Hao; he wouldn’t let any opportunity slip through his fingers. frёewebηovel.cѳm
As soon as they left the hospital, Wang Hao felt a chill down his spine and involuntarily shivered.
"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Xue asked, concerned.
Now that she finally had someone to rely on, someone to put her mind at ease, she prayed nothing would happen to him.
"No... no, it’s nothing!"
Wang Hao smiled, finding it strange himself. The weather hadn’t turned cool yet, and in the middle of the day, why would he start shivering?
It seemed the hospital wasn’t exactly a good place; it was time to leave.
Luckily, Wang Hao had the protection of a dragon tattoo, so he wasn’t worried about there being something wrong with his health.
They took a taxi to the bus station, bought their tickets, and sat together in the same row on the bus.
As the bus sped along, Wang Hao felt bored and took out his phone to check the news.
Xia Xue turned to stare at Wang Hao, thinking to herself how this man seemed to really care about her affairs, and considering his good looks, she couldn’t help but feel a little thrilled inside.
Feeling the intensity of Xia Xue’s gaze, Wang Hao turned and smiled, "Why are you looking at me?"
Xia Xue’s face blushed slightly, and she quickly averted her gaze, feigning annoyance, "It’s nothing..."
Wang Hao smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.
Xia Xue gazed at Wang Hao’s handsome profile and suddenly asked.
"What kind of girl do you like?"
Wang Hao frowned slightly, wondering why she suddenly asked such a question. Could it be that...
But he answered truthfully nonetheless.
"She should have an innocent face, a good figure, and most importantly, she must be filial to her parents."
Xia Xue’s eyes flickered, thinking to herself that it sounded a bit like he was describing her.
Remembering what he had done to her that night, her heart fluttered with emotion once more.
Suddenly, she wanted to get closer to him.
Xia Xue leaned towards Wang Hao and whispered, "Do you like me?"
Wang Hao was startled, looking at Xia Xue’s timid appearance, he suddenly understood.
He smiled and nodded, "Of course I like you."
Feeling the certainty in Wang Hao’s voice, Xia Xue grew even more excited. She leaned in and kissed Wang Hao’s lips briefly, then shyly lowered her head.
Wang Hao was taken aback by Xia Xue’s action, not expecting her to kiss him all of a sudden.
Wang Hao touched his lips, still feeling the faint scent that remained.
Looking out the window, he didn’t dare to look at Xia Xue’s expression, afraid that he might not be able to resist holding her tight.
Wang Hao’s silence made Xia Xue feel a bit embarrassed, so she put on headphones and listened to music to ease the awkwardness. As the car rocked, she slowly fell asleep.
Her head gently rested on Wang Hao’s shoulder.
Wang Hao wasn’t foolish; he extended his arm and took Xia Xue into his embrace.
He had just been reading news about raising centipedes. After hearing Wang Ming speak of the preciousness of the Red Giant Dragon centipede, he had decided to start raising centipedes.
Two hours later, the bus arrived in Chicheng County.
After getting off the bus, the two planned to grab something to eat before heading to the hospital.
"Wang... Wang Hao, could you not tell anyone about what happened today?"
Xia Xue suddenly stopped calling him Mr. Wang, sweetly calling him by his name instead. Hearing her say his name made Wang Hao’s heart feel as if it had been sweetened with honey.
"Okay!"
Wang Hao knew that girls cared about their reputation, and if today’s events were to get out, people in the village wouldn’t listen to her orders in the future.
"And... and just now..."
Xia Xue hesitated, obviously too embarrassed to continue.
Of course, Wang Hao understood what Xia Xue wanted to say.
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about our relationship."
Upon hearing Wang Hao’s response, Xia Xue nodded in satisfaction.
They hurriedly finished their meal and rushed to Xia Xue’s father’s hospital room.
Outside the room, a crowd of onlookers had gathered. A nurse was holding Xia Xue’s father’s belongings, and another doctor was moving her father off the bed.
"You might as well be discharged now since you can’t be cured. Don’t take up a hospital bed..."
