CHAPTER 254: CHAPTER 208: I TRUST HIM TO HANDLE THINGS_2

At this moment, Jiang Feng, whom they trusted so completely, was standing bitterly at the entrance of the clinic, watching the two Leng Family parents sitting on the bench, their faces as cold as a blizzard, and feeling a sharp pain in his teeth.

The scene earlier had unfolded like this:

Mrs. Leng had called Mr. Leng while on the way, informing him of John’s injury. Her tone was filled with intense anger and agitation, blaming everything entirely on Li Si. Not only that, but she had escalated the matter to questioning the morality and character of the other party.

Qian Rouxuan had consistently maintained the image of a worried, loving mother, while John played the role of a brave and sensible child, comforting the two women—the elder and the younger—during the journey.

"It doesn’t hurt!"

"It was my fault just now!"

Mrs. Leng gently caressed his little face, her heart aching as she said, "John, it’s not your fault! Child, Grandma has made you suffer!"

John asked innocently, "Grandma, was that man my daddy just now? Why doesn’t daddy talk to me or Mommy? And why did he leave with that auntie?"

Mrs. Leng found herself unable to answer right away. What could she possibly say to the child about this? Could she tell him that she had forcibly broken up their relationship in the past, making him a child born out of wedlock? Saying more would only open up a Pandora’s box of stories...

Qian Rouxuan intervened softly to explain, "John, don’t make a fuss. That auntie is Daddy’s fiancée. You need to be polite, understand?" After saying this, she gave him a meaningful look, fearing that John might say something that could alert Mrs. Leng.

John immediately lowered his head in self-reflection and said, "It’s not the auntie’s fault! The little monkey didn’t mean to do it either!"

"I won’t dare again next time!"

"Mommy, don’t cry!"

"Grandma, I’m really okay!"

...

At the moment when Jiang Feng felt like his ears would soon grow calluses from hearing all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—the hospital had arrived.

Emergency registration, finding the clinic, and waiting in line. During the downtime, Jiang Feng seized the opportunity to excuse himself to use the restroom, where he found the attending head doctor. Faced with the white-robed doctor, he successfully persuaded the slightly overweight middle-aged man with a mix of reasoning and money.

After the nurse performed simple disinfection, they were informed that John would need to receive a rabies vaccine.

Mrs. Leng and Qian Rouxuan were very dissatisfied with the handling here. Had it not been for the urgency of going to the nearest hospital, they would have insisted on going elsewhere. This place seemed anything but professional to them.

Feeling uneasy, Mrs. Leng sought out the attending head doctor to personally examine John. The head doctor’s expression looked as though he’d been constipated for days, his tightly furrowed brows seemingly capable of trapping a mosquito in between.

Mrs. Leng and Qian Rouxuan’s hearts jumped to their throats, fearing the next moment the doctor’s thick lips would utter phrases like "This is serious" or "There’s no cure."

The slightly overweight head doctor raised his head to glance at the two anxious women, then calmly picked up his pen and swiftly wrote on the form, speaking quickly as he did so: "No surface issues visible for now. However, whether the monkey carries any virus is still unknown.

So, after receiving the vaccine, I recommend further testing for peace of mind and early detection and treatment."

He handed them the form written in handwriting akin to ancient oracle bone script and instructed, "After the vaccine, go to have blood drawn for testing. Once the results are out, come find me again!"

Mrs. Leng swallowed hard and, with Qian Rouxuan, took John to have his blood drawn.

Jiang Feng’s lips curled into a slight smile. After nodding satisfactorily at the head doctor, he followed them out.

A short while later, the vaccine was administered, and John, no matter how brave he acted, finally broke down into tears from the pain. For all his strength, he was ultimately just a five-year-old child.

Following the blood draw, all that remained was to await the results. Only then did Mrs. Leng see Mr. Leng rushing over, his face full of anxiety.

Finally feeling a sense of support, Mrs. Leng poured out her grievances: "Qiankai, I truly regret taking John out today. If we hadn’t run into that girl Li Si, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt, and he wouldn’t have had to suffer like this.

It’s all my fault! That shot he just got was unbelievably painful—even adults would find it unbearable. But our John gritted his teeth and endured it. He’s so strong, so brave!"

As she spoke, she lovingly stroked John’s hair, her eyes filled with heartache.

Mr. Leng looked at the tear-streaked child, his spirit no longer as bright as it had been before. His own heart ached terribly, his tone sharp as he asked, "Since when has Li Si started keeping monkeys? How did you run into her? Did Mocheng just leave directly afterward?"

"Mocheng arranged for his assistant to bring us to the hospital. He took Li Si and her friends elsewhere—I’m not sure if he’ll come over later!"
