Chapter 64: Chapter 64: An Unexpected Encounter with Wang Linsong

"What’s unsuitable about that? I’m merely stating the facts. You all are well aware of her dad’s condition; continuing to stay in a regular ward is just delaying the inevitable and wasting money."

"Moreover, given the current shortage of beds, there are many others who need a bed more than he does. Since your dad can’t be cured, you might as well leave quickly and not hog the bed unnecessarily." freewēbnoveℓ.com

The more the hospital director spoke, the more offensive he became, essentially trying to force Xia Youquan to be discharged.

"Since regular wards are in such high demand, we’ll take a special care ward instead."

Wang Hao suggested.

"Hmph!"

The director snorted coldly, sizing up Wang Hao with his eyes. Looking at his dress, he didn’t seem like someone with money.

He talked big, but a special care ward costs fifteen hundred a day, which is ten times more than a regular ward. Could he really afford it?

"What a joke. People who can’t even pay for a regular ward are thinking about staying in a special care ward? Do you really think the hospital is a charity? Can you even afford it?"

The director looked down on Wang Hao as he spoke.

"How much is a special care ward per day?"

Wang Hao asked impatiently.

He didn’t want to waste more words with the director, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to resist hitting him if the conversation went on.

"Fifteen hundred a day, ten times what you were paying before,"

the director said, emphasizing the point, hoping they would back down upon realizing the difficulty.

"Fine, I’ll pay a year’s worth of fees upfront. Arrange the special care ward quickly."

Wang Hao declared decisively.

"What? A year?"

The director thought he had misheard and emphasized, "A year is over half a million, are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure!"

Wang Hao slammed his bank card down on the director’s desk, glaring fiercely at him as he spoke, "I’ll pay now, in one go."

The director’s face showed utter bewilderment as he looked doubtfully at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao didn’t look like anything but a country farmer to him; how could he come up with so much money so casually, without even blinking?

But his serious demeanor didn’t seem like that of someone who was joking.

If they really booked a special care ward for a year, it would actually increase the hospital’s financial income, which would only be beneficial for the hospital.

But...

Xia Xue was deeply moved by Wang Hao’s actions.

Even though she knew Wang Hao had just sold Lingzhi and had money on hand,

he still had many places where he would need to spend money later. Even so, he didn’t hesitate to pull out over half a million to help her. Xia Xue suddenly felt an increased fondness for the man.

Without thinking, she grabbed Wang Hao’s hand.

Wang Hao was momentarily startled and turned his head to look at Xia Xue.

"What is it?"

he asked.

"Thank you!"

"Heh, it’s nothing,"

Wang Hao replied with an easy smile, "As long as I’m here, I’ll always protect you."

Hearing these words, Xia Xue felt warmth in her heart, sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She suddenly found the idea of being with this man quite pleasant; at least, he gave her a sense of security.

"Director, please hurry and arrange the procedure. We would like to move to the special care ward today,"

Wang Hao urged the director.

"No, you can’t move in today."

No one expected the director to refuse Wang Hao.

Xia Xue also found it very strange. Wasn’t the director just looking for an excuse to discharge Xia Youquan because they often fell behind on payments?

Now that there was an opportunity to make a big profit, why was he still refusing?

"Why not?"

Wang Hao seemed to sense that the issue wasn’t as simple as just being able to afford the fees or not.

"We don’t have any available special care wards at the moment,"

the director replied with a straight face.

"If not today, then tomorrow, we’ll keep waiting. There has to be a vacancy one day, right?"

Wang Hao was butting heads with the dean, simply unable to stand their arrogant and overbearing attitude, pushing around the weak.

"Don’t even think about it. The special care ward does not allow people like his dad. You better leave now."

The dean was clearly bullying them by pulling rank.

Xia Xue’s face turned bright red with anger upon hearing this. Wasn’t this obvious bullying?

Even though there was the county’s Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital, traditional treatments were no longer effective for her father’s illness.

Moreover, Xia Youquan’s condition was special, and the county hospital had a unique instrument that could alleviate his symptoms, the only one in the city, which is why Xia Xue didn’t want to transfer him to another hospital.

But now, the hospital was clearly making excuses to drive them away, pushing Xia Youquan into a corner.

"Dean, the patient in special care room number two is asking to be discharged."

At that moment, a nurse hurried in, placing a stack of documents and a medical record book on the dean’s desk.

The dean frowned upon hearing this.

"Dean, look, there’s a room available now. Can we proceed with the admission?"

Wang Hao smiled and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Who said so?"

The dean suddenly flung the medical record at the nurse and said fiercely.

"Tell that patient, say it’s my order, I don’t agree to their discharge. They need to stay in the hospital for further observation."

The hope that had kindled in Xia Xue’s heart was quickly extinguished.

At this point, Wang Hao was more certain than ever that the dean was settling personal scores, deliberately targeting Xia Xue and Xia Youquan.

"See? I told you there were no rooms available. You better leave now."

Seeing Xia Xue’s look of despair, the dean laughed in triumph.

Before Xia Xue and Wang Hao had arrived at the hospital, the dean had received a call from a county leader.

Hes was told to drive Xia Youquan out by any means necessary.

And the person behind this was no small fry, someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

Moreover, from that person’s words, the dean learned that this was mainly because of Wang Hao.

Now, he was determined not to let Xia Youquan be admitted into the special care ward, no matter what.

In doing so, Xia Youquan and his party would only have the option to leave the hospital, and he, the dean, would be able to fulfill his obligations.

Seeing his smug expression, Wang Hao knew there must be more to it, likely someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

After all, why would such a large hospital, responsible for supporting so many people, forsake the chance to earn over half a million?

But this was a hospital, with so many people watching, it wasn’t the right place to start a fight, so he had to hold back for the time being.

He would wait until the dean was off work to give him a proper interrogation.

"Dean, I want to see the dean, tell me, why won’t you let me be discharged?"

While Wang Hao was thinking, an old man hurriedly barged in, bypassing those who tried to stop him and shouting angrily at the dean.

The moment the old man entered the office and saw Wang Hao, he was taken aback.

"Young man, what are you doing here too?"

The old man asked in surprise.

Wang Hao looked closely, wasn’t this the elderly man Wang Linsong he had saved on the road while buying greenhouse equipment last time? Back then, he’d even given Wang Hao his business card, telling him to reach out if he ever faced trouble.

He hadn’t expected to see him here today.

"We really must be fated to meet again."

Wang Linsong smiled radiantly, looking much more spirited than last time.

"How have you been feeling lately?"

Wang Hao didn’t have the heart to engage in small talk, merely making a polite overture.

Wang Linsong had been through a lot and, noticing Wang Hao’s unnatural expression and Xia Xue looking like she had been crying, he realized they must be facing some kind of trouble.

"Have you run into some unpleasant matters? Tell me, maybe I can help out."

Wang Linsong asked with concern, as if they were his own kin.

Wang Hao thus shared the whole story with Wang Linsong, who frowned deeply after hearing it.

"Dean, I want to be discharged, process my paperwork now..."
