CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: BLACK-HEARTED HOSPITAL: ADMISSION

"Last time I didn’t know when you left, Doctor Xia even complained to me, worried that something unexpected might happen to your eyes, that would be really regrettable."

"Although you left, our hospital has always been concerned about your health..."

Lin Xiaoyan and Xiang Rong listened to the nurse’s chatter. If it were someone else, they would certainly feel touched by how considerate this hospital is.

But for Lin Xiaoyan, who knew they were after her corneas, every word was like a death sentence!

"Director Xia is in the outpatient department today, you two wait here for a moment. Once the patient in front leaves, I’ll take you in," the nurse said warmly, even handing them a cup of hot water.

Within five minutes, the nurse led the two of them to the doctor’s office.

The previous patient had just left, and Lin Xiaoyan walked in nervously.

Xiang Rong quietly squeezed Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, silently encouraging her.

"Ah, sorry, sorry..."

The child coming out accidentally bumped into Lin Xiaoyan, probably around eight or nine years old, with one eye covered in gauze, unclear what illness they had.

Just at the doorway, the child accidentally bumped into Lin Xiaoyan, who instantly tensed up.

The child’s mother instinctively apologized.

Lin Xiaoyan said nothing, but Xiang Rong noticed her discomfort and quickly smiled at the mother, saying, "It’s okay, it’s okay."

"I’ll take you to handle the hospitalization procedures, Director Xia just spoke with you..." Another nurse at the door led the mother and child away.

"Ms. Lin, please come in," the nurse said to Lin Xiaoyan.

Supported by Xiang Rong, Lin Xiaoyan walked toward the office, recalling the scene she had just "seen" and couldn’t help but look back at the little girl.

However, the girl’s figure was no longer visible.

Lin Xiaoyan squeezed her fingers, her eyes turning red. She tried her best to suppress the grief and anger in her heart, looking at that hypocritical doctor with anger flashing in her eyes.

Xiang Rong nudged Lin Xiaoyan, worry flashing in their eyes.

Lin Xiaoyan lowered her head, concealing the anger in her eyes.

"Lin Xiaoyan, last time I said you needed eye surgery and asked you to treat it promptly, but you left. This time you must get your eyes treated properly so I can let you go!"

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoyan, Director Xia’s eyes showed a hint of smugness. Once they set their eyes on someone, there was no way to escape.

"How have your eyes been these past few days?"

Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath to calm down and looked up at the doctor in front of her.

"I feel my eyes have improved a lot, they’re not as red, but sometimes they hurt,"

Lin Xiaoyan said with some fear, "Just right, my friend came here to play. When I told her, she suggested I get a check-up, fearing something might be wrong with my eyes."

Xiang Rong immediately added, "Yes, she says her eyes occasionally hurt. Healthy eyes shouldn’t hurt, there must be something wrong, doctor, please check her out."

"Let me take a look."

The doctor took out a flashlight, shining it into Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes for careful observation.

When the doctor touched Lin Xiaoyan, she saw a familiar scene again.

She "saw" herself lying on the operating table undergoing surgery...

The following scene was similar to what she saw last time.

Afterwards, this Doctor Xia mentioned many medical terms that Lin Xiaoyan did not understand.

Doctor Xia didn’t care whether they understood or not, anyway, they had to be hospitalized and undergo surgery!

Xiang Rong, as Lin Xiaoyan’s friend, helped her with various hospitalization procedures and even paid the fees.

When Lin Xiaoyan entered the ward, she saw the same girl there too. She paused for a moment and walked in.

The girl’s mother wasn’t by her side, and the innermost bed was now empty.

Only the outermost bed was left.

"Ms. Lin, you will stay on this bed. This is your hospital gown, please change into it later. By the way, someone will come to draw your blood later, and there will be a fasting blood draw at six in the morning..."

After the nurse left, Lin Xiaoyan sat on the bed and looked at the girl beside her.

She hesitated for a moment, then softly asked, "Little sister, how old are you? What’s wrong with your eye?"

The girl, hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s voice, turned her head and said obediently, "I’m eight. The doctor said my eye has a tumor and needs surgery to remove it."

Lin Xiaoyan’s heart sank, and her face showed a bit of anger.

She took a deep breath and gently asked again, "Did you get it checked at other hospitals?"

The girl shook her head, "No."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan slowly nodded.

"What’s wrong with your eyes, sister?" the girl asked curiously.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the girl and smiled reluctantly, "Sister’s eyes... need surgery, the doctor said. I also don’t understand, just that I should have surgery."

"Oh."

Suddenly, both of them fell silent, and the ward’s atmosphere became somewhat tranquil.

Lin Xiaoyan took the hospital gown and went to the bathroom to change.

After changing, she saw Xiang Rong had returned and was chatting enthusiastically with the little girl.

"Ningning, you’re amazing, so great!" Xiang Rong turned to look at Lin Xiaoyan and said with a smile, "All procedures are done, it’s already noon. What do you want to eat?"

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don’t know, you go eat first. I’ll buy something myself later when I feel like it."

"Oh, by the way, I have nothing else to do here, you should go back first, and tomorrow..."

Xiang Rong immediately interrupted her, "Hey, I’m here specially to accompany you, don’t send me away."

Lin Xiaoyan was helpless and nodded.

"Alright, just worried you’ll be bored here."

"Not boring at all, remember we could chat all night in the dormitory..."

Just then, the nurse came in, hearing their conversation, and laughed, "You two have a great relationship."

"Hahaha, yes, we are college classmates and good friends!" Xiang Rong said with a laugh.

The nurse smiled and nodded, walking to the girl’s side, "Ningning, it’s time for a blood draw."

The girl was a bit scared, looking toward the door where her mom hadn’t returned yet.

Lin Xiaoyan and Xiang Rong noticed and walked over to chat with the girl to distract her.

Because Xiang Rong had children, she praised the girl next to her.

"Alright, your turn now."

Lin Xiaoyan:......

Xiang Rong, seeing Lin Xiaoyan stiffen, couldn’t help but laugh, "Scared? Hahaha, just now you were cheering Ningning on, now you do your best too!"

Ningning also obediently cheered her on from the side.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at both of them, feeling speechless inside.

After the blood draw, Lin Xiaoyan invited Xiang Rong to go downstairs for a meal together.

At this time, Ningning’s mother returned with lunch.

The two of them greeted the mother and daughter, then left.

"Are you going out?"

When the two reached the nurse’s station, the nurse saw them and asked with a smile.
