Isn’t this queue jumping, what is it????

Dajing Jiezhi didn’t expect the director to be so sharp-tongued and have such a fiery temper.

He immediately closed his mouth.

After all, if this were overtime, there really wouldn’t be anything to say against him.

Seeing that Dajing Jiezhi had stopped talking, the director was about to return to his office. He had just taken a step when he heard the young doctor ask him a question.

“Director, this patient has nerve pain and is a bit…”

The young doctor hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the director walk out the door of the examination room, not even looking back as he ordered, “Do a CT, MRI, thorough screening!”

After saying that, the director completely disappeared around the corner by the door.

The director rolled his eyes at thin air.

He hated those who, relying on their wealth, frivolously used connections to skip the line the most.

Got money, right? Then go and get a proper check-up!

…

Dajing Jiezhi was so infuriated by the director’s words that he couldn’t calm down, but the director was no longer there.

A hand slammed down heavily on the table.

He loudly and defiantly said, “What the hell, when it’s someone else, you try to save every penny, but when it’s me, it’s a CT plus an MRI! I’m going to file a complaint against her!”

Hearing him threaten to report the director, the young doctor became even more displeased than before.

Her face immediately darkened.

“Our director is right. You need to do a CT and an MRI. Not all illnesses are the same; others don’t have a headache, so of course, they don’t need one. Isn’t your head hurting unbearably?”

The director, who personally trained her, knew him best.

She would not allow anyone to speak ill of the director!

Besides, the most prudent test for this patient’s condition would indeed be an MRI and a CT scan for a thorough examination.

Just a while ago, the patient was still asking the director for help, but now he disregarded her and even refused to listen to the very director he once looked up to.

This patient was really shooting for the moon!

Dajing Jiezhi was so angry that he wished he could leave immediately.

But just as he stood up, his headache became unbearable again.

The pain was jumping as if it was about to leap out of his head.

He could only hold his head and say resignedly, “Fine fine fine! Write up the order, write up the order, okay?”

In another room, Ji Pianran entered the examination room alone.

After all, there were differences between men and women, and the hospital had regulations: male patients went to room 204, female patients to 203.

Although Gu Chen was anxious to find out the results of Ji Pianran’s examination,

respecting gender differences and being a man himself, he didn’t have the courage to follow her in.

Seeing Ji Pianran walk in, he had no choice but to take Tangtang to get a blood test.

The little guy wasn’t scared at all, simply because he had never had a blood test before.

He didn’t even know what a blood test was, a typical case of ignorance is bliss.

Tangtang lay happily in Gu Chen’s arms, watching the hustle and bustle of so many people, not only unfazed but also a bit excited.

After the nurse settled Ji Pianran, she followed Gu Chen to the blood test room.

The blood test room was only two rooms away from Ji Pianran’s examination room, so they arrived in just a few steps.

Because there were people inside,

Gu Chen had to wait outside with his child.

Looking at Gu Chen blissfully, she said, “Daddy, when will I get my blood taken?”

Seeing that the little girl wasn’t afraid at all, the nurse was shocked.

“Your daughter is quite brave!”

She had seen many who didn’t cry during blood tests,

but one who was this happy, that was a first.

Gu Chen just smiled, “She has never had a blood test.”

With that explanation, the nurse understood that the little girl had no idea about the pain.

After saying this, Gu Chen looked down worriedly at Tangtang in his arms.

The little one was only two and a half years old, only as tall as a leg, with not much blood in her whole body.

The thought of taking her blood made Gu Chen’s heart ache a little.

“If it hurts in a bit, just grab onto Daddy’s arm and bear with it for a moment,”

Gu Chen looked at Tangtang’s tender little face, and thinking about the upcoming blood test, he couldn’t help but feel heartache and kissed her face gently.

Oh, his precious child was about to suffer.

This feeling was something only a father could truly understand.

If only he could take the blood test for her.

The young nurse, seeing how good Gu Chen was to his child, couldn’t help but think of her own childhood.

She remembered her dad, fly swatter in hand, sitting sternly opposite her, forcing her to do her homework.

Envy instantly filled her young face, “I never thought you’d be such a good father.”

Gu Chen didn’t speak.

Lifting his head, his gaze landed squarely on the closed white door of the examination room.

That door was too similar to the one in his past life!

It was exactly the same!

Both white, both firmly locked.

Both coldly facing him.

His mind uncontrollably returned to the events of his past life once again.

It was right after Tangtang had been diagnosed.

Back then, he had also stood outside the door, waiting for his daughter to finish her blood test.

He had thought it was just a blood test, at worst a case of hypoglycemia, and that there wouldn’t be any issues afterward.

But it was that very blood test that diagnosed Tangtang with severe malnutrition.

She also had low blood pressure, hypoglycemia, and severe anorexia.

Further diagnosis revealed severe depression.

Just a sixteen-year-old girl.

Several severe indicators, those numbers like a rusty, blunt knife.

They stabbed viciously into Gu Chen’s heart, and when pulled out, tore off the flesh at the tip of his heart, leaving him in pain so intense he couldn’t breathe.

That day was the first in his more than forty years of life that he couldn’t swallow food, rest, or sleep.

It was the first time he took a hard look at himself.

It was also the first time he realized he was such a scumbag.

Such a scumbag that he was this cold-blooded even toward his own daughter.

…

Gu Chen took a deep breath, overwhelmed by uncontrollable guilt and remorse.

If only he had given her a bit more attention in his past life.

Told her how much he loved her, then maybe Tangtang wouldn’t have become depressed, right?

She wouldn’t have developed anorexia and died on that cold hospital bed.

Memories and reality overlapped, and his heart ached uncontrollably once again.

That pain, like a beast breaking free from its cage, threatened to completely devour him.

Trembling, he held Tangtang’s hand tighter and tighter.

His head instinctively leaned close to Tangtang’s.

“Don’t be afraid, Tangtang, Daddy will always be with you,”

His voice was a little shaky.

Just listening was enough to tug at the heartstrings.

Tangtang, not understanding what was happening, just felt that Daddy seemed a little unhappy.

With her two little braids and fluffy little head, she affectionately rubbed it against Gu Chen’s head again and again.

Her voice was milky as she began to speak.

“With Daddy here, Tangtang isn’t afraid of anything. When Tangtang grows up, she will definitely protect Daddy!”

Tangtang’s voice was tender.

Her pronunciation wasn’t very clear, but she spoke with an earnestness that came from the heart.

After speaking, she hugged her father’s neck unwilling to let go, just like when her father comforted her, her little hand gently patted Gu Chen’s back.

It was like consolation, as if she felt his pain.

The clear pain of his past life mixed with the tangible happiness of the present.

Gu Chen’s heart felt like it was about to shatter.
